Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

yeah, he is right, the purge movies(outside the first) are honestly the most left wing movies i have seen in while.

Bioshock tried to do the same thing as MGS2, but hosed it up by including a pointless moral choice system, and not giving really any thought to the relationship between player and character

i always just saved them because you make more with that anyway plus its the right thing to do. that last level and half hurt that game badly though.

Elysium was like that for me. The ultra wealthy live in space, have the technology to cure the poor and infirm, and choose not to so we have to go take it from them.

Literally universal healthcare.

Best thing about Elysium were the critics who said it was poo poo because the premise was too unbelievable; why wouldn't the rich people on the station just let poor people use their unlimited healthcare?

I never really paid attention to the Tiger Mom, but wow, big surprise, she was a massive piece of poo poo

New York Post article posted:

Chua wrote of how when Lulu was 4, she rejected her daughter’s homemade birthday card for looking sloppy.

Lulu was ordered to practice the violin six hours a day, and both girls were required to play the piano flawlessly — or Chua would threaten to burn their stuffed animals. The merest hint of failure was met with name-calling: Sophia was “garbage,” Lulu a “disgrace as a daughter.”

Didn't she also have some weird racial pathology poo poo about jews and asians being superior too black people and "lesser-whites"? could of sworn i heard about it from an earlier chapo.

yeah okay i've been hate-reading the tigermom for months now. they only mentioned her once before and i was floored when they brought her up because i'm psychoathically wanted nothing more than for them to tear her apart. she did her tiger mom book, which does contain race science elements on the fringes, then doubled down on it with a book about race science, then did her centrist bullshit book.

i hesitate to call her like a gigantic piece of poo poo, because if you watch her rubin report appearence, it's actually just pretty clear she's a gigantic and flailing dipshit whose brain is entirely composed from the stem to the cerebrum of the most harebrained and contradictory ideas, like, inside of her brain is that scene from being john malkovich where he goes inside of his own brain, but instead of several versions of him, it's really tiny john podhoretz-es. it's kind of like, i don't really get angry at my grandmother when she's racist, i just roll my eyes at her and then laugh at it later. she strikes me as much more of just a gigantic podhoretz tier moron that got into law school and then essentially just failed upward because ivy league academia is a loving joke.

the funniest part about all of is like... i get this feeling that she believes she embodies the sort of confucian idea of working real hard at poo poo to save yourself, except, you know, in ancient china they were working the fields, and poo poo, not making your dipshit kid play violine at her bat mitzfah or some bullshit.

the funniest part about this though, they didn't mention her back when they did the episode on it, but the deep chapo lore is that she wrote the foreward to hillbilly elegy, and that book actually started as jd vance's submission for an assignment she gave out, which she recommended he blew up into a full book, presumably using her connections from her previous loving drivel to get made. brilliant.

they haven't talked about her in depth on an episode. go read her book battle hymn of the tiger mother. it was actually fairly popular when it came out, it was in 2011 so it just pre-dated the internet going after people like her, unfortunately. through my childhood/early teen years i had a ton of traumatizing fights with my parents - i wasn't physically abused or anything, but i broke poo poo and my parents broke some of my poo poo to get me back for it because they were traumatized. i actually had a ton of anxious flashbacks while reading it.

but if that's not you it's really easy, she's not a challenging writer at all so it's pretty much a 200 page blogpost. pretty easy to find, if you catch my drift.
