Bethesda has been going downhill ever since Morrowind, to be fair. It's just that with each release, the number of disgruntled people have been growing, and with Starfield its finally the majority opinion.

Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution are inseparable from one another. The failure of 20th century Socialist states to adequately address green energy goals can be attributed to rapid industrialization to attempt to keep pace with Capitalist entities.

Going forward, the reason why Green Energy isn't the standard in the US is due to oil companies, not efficiency. The profit motive stands in direct confrontation with the good of all.

That's just Climate Change, too. Capitalism's failures of hierarchical and consumerist nature will exist as long as Capitalism exists.

Not every problem is because of Capitalism, but many are, and at the end of the day this is just a meme.

Are you legitimately trying to argue that history has no bearing on current conditions? Lmao.

By providing aid and by engineering the ROK during its founding. Pretty simple stuff.

Building dependency, by which the US maintains an important foothold on East Asian soil.

-Moves goalposts the entire time and refuses to admit that the US has power over the people of South Korea

-baselessly claims I'm a liar for touching grass and talking to people who have been directly impacted by what I'm talking about

Lol

It really isn't, which is funny. It does many things far better than Skyrim or Fallout 4, such as quest design and role playing, it just can't rely on fantastic lore written by people that either no longer work for the company or never did. Now that they are given the opportunity to be wholly original, the issues they've been having ever since Morrowind are shown at full force.

What have I made up, exactly? That I touch grass and am close with many South Korean immigrants? If that's what you take issue with, I can walk away from this convo knowing that I was 100% correct the entire time, and you just cope and mald, calling me a liar, despite me being 100% correct about everything I've said leading up to this recent comment.

[–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (17 children)

Yes, I have. The majority of my knowledge of South Korean politics comes from South Korean immigrants, and confirmation via independent research on my own. You aren't introducing any cognitive dissonance, you're just giving me the opportunity to yet again prove you wrong.

There are mountains of papers written on the success of Socialist and Socialist-adjacent structures. Worker Co-operatives are more stable and provide greater happiness to the Workers within, for example. Democracy within the workplace also has great levels of success when tried, and we've found that liberal democracy surrounding 2 party systems is far less democratic than multiparty, ranked choice systems.

You deliberately argued that you must wait for something to exist before you are willing to adopt it, rather than change any given situation.

Now we reach the pinnacle of your argument: "I'm personally okay in the given system, so I don't care if other people wish to change it." It's fine if everyone agrees with you, but what happens if you get out voted? Are you still going to argue for maintaining the status quo as disparity rises and climate change dooms us all?

That's certainly a dodge. Keep bending over backwards to justify US Imperialism, one day it might bite you.
