I do stuff and sometimes I don’t do stuff
A commendable attempt at building the foundations of a progressive movement that breaks the current political stagnation we have endured for the past forty years or more.
Unfortunately the majority of people are inexplicably content to be shafted by successive governments whatever their political persuasion.
I feel like too much time has passed now for this to make an impact. The themes and aesthetics have been recycled ad infinitum over the years. Misguided accusations it’s copying work it has inspired will be unavoidable.
Film is probably the better vehicle instead of an elongated season of hour-long episodes.
Like many of us, I have been a fan of Kojima’s games over the years. With his own production company and few people to answer to, I feel his tendency to revel in surrealism and absurdity is pushing me away.
I’m not looking forward to another dose of cryptic pretentiousness from him. I’ll leave this one alone.
We don’t want to be part of the Zuckusphere.
This is a game I’ll happily avoid. I had my last taste of the tired Bethesda formula with Fallout 4.
All subsequent releases since then have demonstrated to me they prefer to trudge in the same lane they established almost twenty years ago.
UK
2016 was a weird time and you could argue it was the point when western politics veered off in the direction of populism over policy.
As a British citizen (sorry subject), it was a horrifying moment to be woken up by my girlfriend to learn that we had voted to leave by the smallest of margins.
And later that year we watched America elect a bonafide psychopathic narcissist as the president of the United States.
Why the majority elect to be kept under the boot with aggressive fiscal policies which reward the wealthy is beyond me.
Brexit was sold on lies and false promises of the ‘benefits’ Britain would see when we become ‘independent’ again.
The great enshittening of internet platforms continues
As someone who lives in the UK, this government and their adoption of authoritarian policies in the recent past is depressing.
I just hope when given the opportunity next year at the polling stations, the British electorate doesn’t vite to be f**ked Inthe ass again for the next five years.
