ArkanaAmerican Comics used to be really popular and cool. First the "Comics Code Authority" stifled that and strangled all the life out of it. By the time of the 80's when people stopped caring about it the only things left were Superhero stories whose authors had no ownership of the comics they wrote and dragged on forever.
@adequate@JeffGrimesArt@Pawlicker@wan@wgiwf@berkberkman They hid Walt's condition from him during the last months of his life so he couldn't properly prepare beforehand. Since then it's been in a long slide down into jewish control. At least during Eisner's era they had good white writers and animators, just with jewish direction. That's why they could still create great movies. Afterwards they weeded out all the talent and just had yesmen and leftists so it's all trash
@griffith Hidetaka Miyazaki was an accountant, but after playing Ico he tried to apply as a game designer and in about 10 or so years became the company president. The over reliance on credentials really shuts out competent people who don't want to suck up to corporate management.
@waifu@arcana@Merc Collectivism is just putting people of your group ahead of those outside of your group. That is the foundation of family, city, state, etc.
@beardalaxy@IAMAL_PHARIUS I think it's mostly a testament to how vastly overpriced other drinks are. They are literally just water and corn syrup. The packaging is probably more expensive than the material inside it, considering that you can actually get a refund for recycling cans
@suquili@sickburnbro There are multiple competing groups. The money men just want people to consume product. The troons want to force others to accept their fetish, which allows them to get off more. And ugly middle aged women want people to stop looking at hot women and instead look at them
@ThatWouldBeTelling@sickburnbro@suquili Money men are executives that are clueless about what they are actually selling. This clip from Steve Jobs is one of my favourite examples explaining it. When a company reaches a certain size that making better products does not attract more people they rely almost entirely on marketing and completely ignore the actual quality of their products youtube.com/watch?v=lmFlOd0MGZg
@Suiseiseki In Japan there are issues because some small rural towns were composed of mostly elderly people. Ideally that would mean cheaper real estate for people to build new houses there, but unless it's an easily accessible area that might not happen
