It's good that Luigi said Mario was just hiding from society because it's objectively true.

Mario severed all ties with friends and family to live with some turtles on a patch of dirt, which is indistinguishable from how cults operate.

Exploration is ill-advised.
So is Bowser like a fascist or something

Also God is an elegant blonde who wears a nightie all the time when not riding motorcycles and is pretty blase about things after having seen the universe end a zillion times

Also, as far as the philosophy of that comic, seems like it’s mostly just classical Cynicism combined with baudrillards particularly lovely brand of post modernism, wherein any attempt at political action is doomed to simply create a new, possibly worse, power structure, and so the only correct political move is to “withdraw into the private.”

Anyway thanks for reading my analysis of a Mario comic please comment like and subscribe.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

quote:

“In China, we don’t believe a strike is an efficient way to protect the interests of the working class,” An argued. At the global level, “China is facing contradictions between the domestic working class and domestic capitalists, but domestic capitalists also compete with foreign capitalists. So if there is a strike, it will be detrimental to both the workers and capitalists [in China].”

The loving state of this argument.

So this is solid is it?

quote:

According to An, China’s 1954 constitution protected the right to strike, but this clause was removed when the economic reforms began. As it stands now, things are a bit gray legally. There is no provision for or against work stoppages, but carrying out a strike is not technically forbidden.

The Air bud law of strikes?

Everything about this, particularly quotes, is 'class collaboration for the national interest is good'. I guess it shows that Maoism hasn't strayed far from its roots but that's another argument!

i mean, they do have strikes. it's not enshrined in law like it should be but they do happen and they are mostly resolved in favor of workers.
