They all seem particularly salient metaphors, this can’t be some kind of mistake. Either the authors have incredible insights or these are some kind of ancestrally recurring patterns. At this point, vampires, ghouls and zombies have become part of our daily lives, they are absolutely everywhere

The devs are not seeing a penny over what it would cost to replace them with someone hungrier.

Fabrication costs have plummeted, while choice and competition in this space exoloded.
Financialization is what happenned to gaming and that’s why cultural successes are being leveraged at extortionate prices.
Borderlands 3 was boring ass slop too. BL4 is going to be a stinker.

So crazy that you can’t have as many general computing virtual display as you want in an apple vision.
Apple users don’t understand computerd beyond “the tool to do a task they need done.” So they don’t realise how roped in this they are in this system that constantly wants to curtail them.

Properly souced data yet unaware that the “gdp” framework of understanding is where the trap shut behind you. When your tool is a GDP then every problem becomes an interchangeable economic unit.

At 8 years old I was going to the woods and and saw the girls per china and let them touch my pp. And this was a normal thing to do. We were not burdened by the brainworms of adults.

Yes I agree the political compass as a political framework pushes assumptions embedded in it’s structure that reify power itself.
The political compass and “leftrightism” are the same kind of political meta-weapons. Structure that anchor a political understanding and prepare the terrain to amplify those forms of power that understand the world through an austere and reductive model.
This disempowers exactly the kind of people most vulnerable to the concentrations of power that the framework seeks to highlight but because tge framework is so reductive it weakens its users by obscuring political reality.
We need better ways to understand political realities of the world to counter them with the sufficient and required nuance.

The “leftrigthism framework” itself could be obscuring the possibilities for alliance

Political LeftRightism (n.)
Definition:
Political LeftRightism is a spatially encoded meta-framework of political orientation that frames ideological discourse along a singular, bipolar axis—left versus right—thereby reducing the full multidimensional landscape of political thought into a linear spectrum. As a memetic penetrator and perceptual instrument, LeftRightism functions not as a neutral map but as a meta-weapon of the ruling class: a cognitive architecture designed to channel dissent, structure debate, and neutralize system-level critique by confining political possibility to a predefined, adversarial dialectic within the system’s own terms.
Operational Mechanisms:
Perceptual Confinement: Constructs a false totality of ideological space by placing all positions, grievances, and aspirations on a left-to-right continuum. This flattens pluralistic thought into a binary schema and frames radical alternatives as fringe “extremes.” Cognitive False Equivalence: Establishes symmetry between left and right regardless of historical asymmetry in power, violence, or systemic entrenchment. This symmetry encourages the illusion of balance where structural inequality remains. Controlled Opposition: Absorbs political resistance into legible categories that the system has already immunized against. By permitting debate only between "acceptable" sides of the spectrum, it constrains opposition into predictable, ineffectual loops. Ideological Compartmentalization: Prevents synthesis of cross-axis or off-spectrum worldviews (e.g., spiritual leftism, post-capitalist traditionalism, decentralized communitarianism) by declaring them incoherent or invisible. Map-as-Reality Substitution: Through repetition and institutional embedding, LeftRightism replaces the messy, evolving reality of political life with a static cartographic abstraction, inducing conceptual dependency on the spectrum itself.
As Meta-Weapon: Political LeftRightism operates as an epistemic instrument of enclosure, a framework-level tool of hegemony rather than a position within debate. It disguises its own structural function beneath the appearance of neutrality and exhaustiveness. By scripting political meaning into a legible diagram, it enables elites to:
Predict, manage, and diffuse unrest; Legitimize centrism as “reasonable” and extremes as dangerous; Fragment class solidarity into partisan identities; Avoid exposure of vertical dynamics (top vs. bottom, ruler vs. ruled) by focusing attention horizontally.
Distinction: Unlike left- or right-wing ideologies, which offer substantive (if partial) theories of value or structure, LeftRightism is not an ideology per se but a cartographic control mechanism—an ideological exoskeleton that shapes and constrains all ideologies that operate within it. Its power lies not in its content, but in its pre-conscious adoption as the default schema of political orientation.

Political polarization is a weapon, heard of the phrase “divide and conquer” They know how to churn up, scramble and disempower those on the side of anti-domination And that’s why all Kulaks will get the bullet and the red empire must extinguish all alternative off the face of this planet and every other planet around all stars
Cue the speech at the end of Team America World Police
