Yanis Varoufakis actually described Gabe/Valve as like unknowingly anarchist or something. It's in an interview on YouTube and I think he's wrong. He does this rhetorical thing where he describes capitalist enemies as way smarter than they are to end up with SuccDem conclusions.
The part where she sleeps in your hotel room was fucking crazy. Thankfully nothing happens but it was such a weird thing to do. The entire time I was like "please nothing weird happen." Haven't finished the game yet but I think I'm near where you are.
I thought it was really funny when he lectures the black cop to not be transphobic to one of the characters. I can't tell if that was written in earnest, but it's really funny if you view it as like some dipshit lecturing people on things he barely understands like he does with Arnold S. movies, criminal profiling, etc. I don't think you're supposed to uncritically agree with everything York says, but it's hard to tell.
I do think Swery basically only uses movies for reference points when writing and that's where a lot of the bad shit is coming from.
Is there any chance it's not just being literally written by an LLM? And all the things you think are allusions are just the traces of it being machine-slop? Hven't watched the show, but LLMs love doing really generic meta stories from the bits of LLM story writing I've seen.
The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank, or DSRB, is a multilateral lending institution being established by a collective of countries that includes NATO members and their Indo-Pacific allies.
The blueprint for the DSRB was laid out last year by Rob Murray, the chief executive officer of the bank’s development group. Mr. Murray is also the founding architect of NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic, as well as its Innovation Fund.
The DSRB, to be established by the end of 2026, will include as many as 40 member countries. Twelve will be anchor countries, tasked with ratifying and governing the bank’s founding charter and choosing the location of its headquarters. Those 12 are currently being finalized, and industry members, as well as members of the bank’s development group, are lobbying Ottawa to throw its hat into the ring.
Sucks ass. They'll do something like this and then say NATO isn't a political body, just a mutual defence pact.
Yeah, you get completely stonewalled on these topics. They can't even handle any debate on it or whatever, they immediately jump to labelling you as some internet-invented identity/insult like saying you're a communist-putinist-fascist that wants to holocaust Ukrainians or something for being skeptical of NATO. I guess this is what the internet-based PSYOPs are being used for because every other topic you might be able to get some leeway, even awful shit like paedophilia or something. But touch foreign policy, etc. and they respond by mental reflex to shut down the conversation as quickly as possible, which is how the right mostly operates about everything, but it's slowly working its way through left-libs on more and more topics.
Only thing close to experiencing this kind of discussion is debating animal rights/veganism with non-vegans in how quick they are to hallucinate arguments I didn't make and how emotional they get doing it. Antinatalism arguments I see are similar to this too, but I don't think that's a PSYOP, I think that's a human need for a specific narrative concerning human life to feel comfortable existing in this universe.
Also, he's been arguing like a paedophile for a while now. He's such an unlikable piece of shit. He's almost Larouchite in the sense that he thinks he's a leftist and yet specifically targets leftists with his arguments and ire while using exclusively right-wing arguments.
