So just repeat the strategy that got us Biden, brilliant.

Ah yes the old bragging about your k/d ratio despite losing the match cope.

The salt levels over Cuba are a tiny speck next to Vietnam. Most Americans have memory holed the Bay of Pigs and all the failed assassination attempts. Vietnam on the other hand, the catalyst for the modern Amerikkkan chud mindset comes from the neurosis over losing that war. That’s why there this constant overcompensating and self-congratulatory puffery, it’s the shame and anxiety about losing to the communists in such a humiliating way.

new Okami game

That’s not Platinum, Hideki Kamiya and his new Clovers studio is making it.

From what I understand, there was some management shifts and the people on top want to focus on monetized online multiplayer gaming, and the veterans there had no interest in doing that and saw it as crass opportunism. So they’ve been jumping ship.

Even that isn’t a guarantee; I follow this streamer, Nitrony1, dude won the Guilty Gear Strive tournament at the most recent EVO and he’s still only getting a 100 and change viewers on his streams. Better than the dredges to be sure, but still on the smaller/niche end.

A lot of splatoon streamers. Chase247, ThatSrb2DUDE, and SourBraix are the ones of those I enjoy the most. A couple political ones, namely Hasan and Yugopnik. Some others I like that have good viewer engagement: Wirtual, Rookang1, Jakeblennings, karterfreak, AuroraPeachy.

I’d say a good reference streamer would be ZainoTV. He does Balatro streaming, so because of the pacing of the game and the often esoteric ways its system works, there’s a lot of explanation happening while he’s streaming. Also a generally chill guy, LGBT ally.

Definitely be prepared to spend some time having very few viewers. Like anything else entertainment-related, there’s a lot of streamers hanging out in the single digit viewers, a modest amount in the double to triple digit range, and then there’s the small handful of mega streamers like Hasan.

Try to have some sort of niche or gimmick to stand out. Decide if you want to have yourself on camera, not on camera, or an animated avatar.

Cross pollinate your platforms. A lot of streamers will also produce some YouTube content as well, even if it’s just uploading their VODs. Reaction content is super low hanging fruit for this. The point is that the algorithms all behave differently so being on multiple platforms helps to reach audiences on one platform that the algorithm isn’t steering towards you on others. It seems like every streamer has a Discord, I’m not sure how important this is as I don’t use Discord that frequently.

This is the peak of the mindset.

The liberalization of the Russian economy was shock liberalism to the extreme. Zero transition, some “ownership vouchers” the people got as a perfunctory nod to the state capital being public, but that quickly descended into a speculative market, which given the lack of guard rails meant an oligarchy formed. So the sudden fallout of social services plus a non-competitive market meant millions of pre-mature deaths, brain drain, corruption.

China, on the other hand, engaged in a system of requiring the factories of making X number of widgets per month or quarter for the state, but then allowed them to sell anything production past that on the market. This allowed for the introduction of markets in a controlled, gradual way, maintained government ownership to an extent (this is why so many Chinese corporations are owned in no small part by the state, a lot of them were spin offs the state kept an interest in), while avoiding the productivity downtime issue that Marxist-Leninist economies can sometimes run into. This is also why, while China has a capitalist class, it’s on a much tighter leash than in social democratic economies.

Transing goo? Please, don’t be silly, it’s well established that the penis-possessing womens’ cum is what turns them into femboys and then eventually trans women.

There’s this misunderstanding of old politicians who’ve been in Congress a long time holding corporate-friendly positions where the assumption is “they must hold these positions because they’re old and antiquated in their thinking, if we kept people from serving more than a handful of terms this wouldn’t happen.” The problem with this is that it’s the corporate lobbying and Congresscritter-to-lobbyist pipeline that keeps that ossified pro-corporate culture in DC, not the politicians being old.

So if Kat got into office and had decent politics, her stepping down after five terms and then a Gen Alpha taking the seat would not be a net positive. Plus, there is a system to the way Congress works and more senior politicians in party serve to educate the newer members on that system. Without that senior group, the only people in DC who will know that system are, the lobbyists. So it’ll just make the system more beholden to lobbyists.

I do not hold the pretension of absolute truth

The most annoying thing about that argument is the historical revisionism where they act like the Star Wars fanbase didnt despise the prequels for decades and said it ruined the franchise. Nope, one force-adept feeeeeeeeemale and suddenly everything Lucas did was gold.

Oh yeah, the original Alien, the film that beats you over the head about male anxiety over being submissively used for sexual reproduction, isn’t woke.

Tell me your fantasy is living in a world where 90% of the population is women with penises that make a sport of pegging the few remaining cisgendered men without telling me your fantasy is living in a world where 90% of the population is women with penises that make a sport of pegging the few remaining cisgendered men.

Or who Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges was.

Years of Cold War propaganda convinced western libs that markets are the antithesis of socialism. So the emergence of markets in China was mistakenly interpreted as meaning the end of socialism in China.

Paul Volcker. When it comes to the architects of the neoliberal era, everyone talks about Hayek and Greenspan and Thatcher and Reagan. But no one mentions Volcker despite the man literally having the weaponizing of interest rates to break unions and the spending power of the working class named after him, the eponymous Volcker Shock.

Communism is when people are loud at school board meetings. The louder they are, the more commmunister it is.
