And then they guilottined those too. I don't wanna see revolution in western democracies in my lifetime because it is invariably bloody and i don't have stomach for it, but at the same time, its becoming pretty obvious that the current processes in some democratic parts of the world are becoming unsustainable too. Accumulation of power in hands of few subverting the system across centuries or decades.

So we are probably due one to refresh. Who knows what comes after.

Or maybe brutal authoritarian regimes aren't long term sustainable and fall apart when transition of power fails to occur properly because Strong Authoritarian Ruler cannot cultivate equals because they would seek to depose him and so any subsequent leader is always inadequate to keep the various factions that are pissed off at standing regime that bled them from bucking.

Yah, people are shitting their pants rn but its gonna just be a big discount unless this trajectory continues for few weeks. Economy is a ***ing make belief. If it bounces back up, everything is gonna be fine. If it doesn't, shit is ***ed yo.

Doesn't help that the tariffs are an actual shitstorm because what little manufacturing there is in US (and developed world, but developed world isn't what we are talking about) relies on huge international production chains. So its not a typical blip, its also affected by shortage or rising price of materials.

We in for quite a decade my friends.

So, bear in mind, i am not actually DMC player.

I think the anime was okay. The animation was decently good looking, thought some of the 3D was kinda cringe and very visible (nothing anywhere near as bad as the ***ing Berserk thought).

The fight choreography only really flattered Rabbit and Dante, everyone else was so ***ing basic.

I was incredibly done with miss Heterochromia by third episode.

The opressed demon refugee class subplot and American imperialism allegory was something i struggle to have opinion on. I think it was a fairly good take on there being no real easy solution, on the other, it was kinda really ***ing hamfisted in. America invading hell to do capitalism was peak ***ing funny tho and i loved it.

Vergil theme popping in was on point too. Director understood the meme assignment and really played up the hype. If they *** up Vergil in next season i will be mad.

I would say that it also suffers from poor pacing, but thats just modern shows issue. Everyone slaps in 8 episodes and calls it a season, then every plot point seems sudden, unexplained and people behave like morons to be correctly positioned to do their thing, whetever it is to be cool, die like a ***tard or anything inbetween.

Overall 6/10. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon and i genuinely had fun, but i will probably forget about it in like three months.

I mean, to be fair, that is true. Once elite gets sufficiently rich, the trickle down only happens when its negative value.

Is it actually good?

The problem usually is that corporations losing is projected downwards on little people. But tbh i kinda agree. Revolution this, revolution that but when they taste just a tiny bit of the economic hardship that would follow actual coup, they back out. Problem is capitalism keeps ramping up and shackling it into some kind of more social democracy doesn't seem viable. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

(I also think that celebrating how hard corpos are crashing is bit premature, the market will probably right itself a bit, but its definitely gonna be a downward slope).
