Is reading the manga to catch up to the anime and then following the anime a thing? Or is the anime waaaay behind? I really want to get into OP but there's just too many eps :<

from a quick glance at the manga chapters and anime episodes, it's roughly 100 chapters behind

but it takes maybe 10 minutes probably less to read a chapter of the manga, as opposed to 20 minutes to watch an episode of the anime

on the other hand, most of the music is really good, especially (most of) the opening themes. you don't get that with the manga

though the animation quality also goes through the shitter around, like, the timeskip

Alternatively, is there any instance in history of Socialism (or further left, Communism) providing ANY growth to the economy, either? If your measuring stick is "how does it effect the economy" we should use that same measure against most of Europe.

Also, scarcity of resources alone preventing adequate distribution of goods ensures that discontent will spread among the population leading to communism's failure.


lmao

Capitalism has the biggest artificial scarcity problem in human history.

And causing natural scarcity would be better? Literally taking everything the planet has to offer us and still needing far more to be able to satiate everyone's needs let alone wants? Let me guess, your next solution to this problem will be population culling and controls.

why do you think there would be a scarcity in the first place? as it currently stands, there's more than enough food being produced to feed everyone.

Ever heard of Earth Overshoot Day? It supposedly already came 2 months ago. Whether the data that determines if and when it happens is remotely reliable is impossible to say, but it does have to make you think about the limits of how far we can push the earth's renewable resources before we run into the reality of annual shortages worldwide.

And then there are the non-renewable resources that have to be depleted eventually, even with landfill diving to recover recyclables.

The truth of the matter is that without a system that allows for economic winners and losers, everyone will eventually lose without engaging in interplanetary mining and colonization which may still be more than a century away or even impossible.

the vast majority of people are losers under capitalism. the vast majority of people would be better off under communism

also, it's in everyone's best interest to halt climate change, which will never happen under capitalism

it's funny how misogynists/transphobes use a term from a movie made by two trans women to signify becoming "woke af"

in their own channel by proving it to them in real time.

They need to realize these guys don't believe what is presented in the news anymore, why? because

we are in the "Fake News" era, so people are not sure what it is on TV is even real.

They've just gone through a tragedy and it's not on them to indulge stupid people's disbelief


You don't get it, you seem to think it is ok to do nothing, which is stupid

I rather shut the entire fake realm with one visit. They will all delete their channels and be gone once they see the real reality.

My parents were very religious as I grew up and strict about certain things. I went to church every Sunday, did catechism classes and after those ended I went to weekly RE classes. I never really got good grades and they were hard on me for that and it made me just feel really dumb. Some religious viewpoints were drilled into my head when I was little that made some things hard for me as I got older. None of it was malicious though. All in all, my parents were good to me.

most of this applies to me as well.

it's been like 7 years since I properly identified as Catholic and I still sometimes watch tv in a cold room without getting a blanket because "I probably deserve to be cold"

overall though, aside from the religion thing, my parents were pretty lenient with me - I never really needed to have rules to follow anyway. I'm generally pretty calm of my own accord.

one of my sisters was a troublemaker, and they were a lot more strict with her
