A couple of reviews for Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy.

something incredibly American about an Allied trooper yelling brand names at Soviets until they recognize him as an ally.

I'm a little out of the loop, what happens if anim doesn't reach it's monthly goals? I could only afford to back the kickstarter, does eureka get cancelled?

Eureka and almost all of the various Kickstarter promises are currently available on itchio in a playable state, so Eureka isn’t at risk of getting canceled.

However, as for what the deal is with our finances, without going into unnecessary detail, one of our team members only has a confirmed place to live so long as they can prove that A.N.I.M. is making roughly 15% more in income each month, until it hits a threshold of regularly making at least $4,000 per month.

If we fail to hit these quotas too many times, that team member’s financial and living situation are at risk of becoming very unstable, which is not only very bad for them obviously, but will cripple the whole team’s ability to continue to do what we do.

That’s why it’s so urgent that we hit these quotas. If anyone wants to see A.N.I.M. succeed, or just wants to keep a disabled person financially stable, please consider the links below.

Idiocracy is kind of bad in its messaging because it ends up being kind of implicitly pro-eugenics but even setting that aside its political message is just kind of silly. It's of course understandable why it's become such a core part of US liberal discourse, because it allows them to pretend that like. The only reason the Bad Party is in power is because of some nebulous anti-intellectualism infecting the US. It gives them a good way to externalize the issue. Actually, the reason the Good Party isn't in power is because the electorate is bad and stupid.

Anyway this was brought to you by the fact that I saw mention of a Cracked article that compared Hulk Hogan's appearance at some Republican event to Idiocracy and I felt a sudden wash of nostalgia as I was transported back into the Bush presidency.

if my journey into booktube is teaching me anything it's that much in the way that the mass-produce commercial object of the book is often fetishized as having innate cultural and intellectual value by virtue of Being A Book, many "bookish content creators" seem to fancy themselves as having something innately intelligent and interesting to say solely because they are Talking About Books

Perfection is never attainable, but do you think the world would be a lot closer to perfect if Christianity had never fucking existed?

Not really. I think very few of the atrocities that get justified on religious grounds are actually religiously motivated at their core. It just happens to be that, as I've said before, when a religion's moral philosophy happens to be the dominant ideology in a society (or at least among its ruling class), the language of its moral philosophy often gets used to formulate justifications for the atrocities that said society (or at least its ruling class) has material incentive to commit.

So taking e.g. european colonialism (which was commonly but not exclusively justified on the grounds of evangelization), as I said on another post: It's not that europe Did A Colonialism because there is anything inherent about christian moral philosophy that makes it more naturally predisposed to justifying colonialism, it's that justifications for colonialism were formulated in the language of christian moral philosophy because europe wanted to Do A Colonialism.

Like. The ruling classes of several european powers at the time found themselves in a position where engaging in global-scale colonialist projects would be both economically beneficial AND realistically achievable, and justifications for it were formulated in the moral language of christianity because christian morality happened to be the dominant moral paradigm in europe at the time. Without christianity the same thing would have likely happened (as long as the same material conditions existed) but justified in the language of a different moral paradigm.

Or, more concisely, I don't think christianity never having existed would inherently make the world significantly better or worse, because I don't think christianity is inherently any better or worse than any other religion, because religions don't have an inherent ideological character.

Ofc these jokes can also be callous but it's crazy how every couple of weeks a post goes viral on here about how people from europe (the only country ever apart from the usa btw) are evil and every kind of bigoted for making light of literally any problem the USA has but the minute something bad happens in a country that isn't the USA or one of like three european countries most westerners accept as semi real places, everyone's making those stupid fucking supernatural members to be #random #tumblr and get notes. like please know that if that's you the only thing separating you as someone who can view certain current events as funny from being an iranian child whose parents are murdered in front of them is the position you happened to be born in + I hope you die
