It's an audio-visual interpretation of the first volume of Capital in that no matter how ingeniously managed or constructed the fortress, it's existence is inherently rife with contradictions and is ultimately doomed.

this is like a really important point that noted C-SPAM Soothsayer UMBERTO ECO made - the alt-right dont really want to just get laid, they want to control. control everything. sexual life is just a relatively easy sphere of human activity for them to exert their own power. if you got a woman, you can control her in every way. if you dont, you can manipulate her into a relationship. and even if women are utterly repulsed by you, the choice to hate them and to deny them your seed (ie redpill style going your own way) is an ironic sublimation of impotence into power

sex is power

even in the dynamism of contorting yourself into a pretzel for your loved one, its a power play, one takes control during the act and vice versa

consent is power in itself too, and thats what those thirsty mouthbreathers can't figure out because it's give and take, not take and take and they want zero effort to do so

The American Entitlement Complex grows bigger everyday.

When pretty much literally everyone on every end of the political spectrum, from religious fundamentalists to feminists, is calling them 'virgin losers', it's not hard to imagine them getting pretty messed up about it. Like, there's entire internet subcultures based entirely around nerds' inability to get laid in socially acceptable ways, from incels to otakus with love pillows to literal furries and even bronies. There's a point where you're just pouring gasoline on the fire and need to get over your disdain for people and actually try to help them before they start trying to burn everything down because society demands they attain what has been put out of their reach.

There's always been a subset of people who are so poisonous to society they need to be isolated from everyone else for the greater good, and for the most part that hasn't changed. The only issue is that the person who lives alone in the sticks and only sees another human face when they go into town for supplies can now harass all the women they want via social media, meaning they're not quarantined anymore. These subset of people were always rejected and isolated, the issue now is that they know they're now completely alone anymore and they have the ability to do significant damage from a remote location.

I said before that these people would have been the ones drafted into the military where one of two things generally would have happened: they would have been forced to grow up in a hurry and the discipline/exposure to people from other cultures turns them into adults who can coexist in modern society, or they become ground-fodder and the problem ends up dealing with itself. That doesn't happen anymore and you're left with a class of undesirables that wants people to feel as bad as they do. If their development is so stunted that they're fundamentally useless and you can't feed them into the mouth of war, then you've got a problem that will spiral out of control.

Dwarf Fortress is extremely revolutionary. I will not tolerate revisionism wrt DF in this subforum.

I love how the introduction of wages and currency into the game made everything so lovely that it's one of the only changes that got rolled back indefinitely

It also starkly demonstrates the nature of a police state designed to oppress the masses at the whims of the flighty nobles

I have a lot of opinions about DF as a tool of political education

I used to work with this idiot who insisted that the education he received in the 60s and 70s was better than what kids get today. I think it's a pretty common opinion among olds, and they're pretty prone to becoming hostile to anything that challenges the "facts" they learned as kids. That's the only reason anyone would still defend Columbus.

Dinesh was a College Republican who managed to be far viler than the par. When he was in college he or one of his associates stole a list of members of the gay student organization, and punished it in the Darthmouth Review. This was in the early 80s, it'd be bad enough now but I can't imagine how traumatic it would have been back then. Nowadays he'd probably have been expelled for pulling some poo poo like that.

tetris enforces strict societal roles. each shape is forever locked in place, even as more blocks pile upon it. no block is able to move to better fill the space as need arises, which leads to heirarchy. every player wishes for infinite straight blocks and curses the L's and others, leading to subconscious resentment and feelings of futility as the blocks continue to rise higher and higher. tetris is monstrous.
