Both in the macro and at the micro scale, Genshin Impact is about communism. so we all know how in genshin impact there are archons, gods that are appointed by celestia that rule the 7 nations that currently exist, and there are civilizations long gone. So far we have discovered two celestial nails that wiped out the civilization at dragonspine and the other civilization. we know that the nations that were wiped out were advancing far beyond their capabilities, and potentially looked to usurp celestia's throne. so my theory is that they were smitten by celestia (america) because they were communist. also khaenriah is the biggest example of this, but this is obvious, which is why i did not bring it up until half way into my memerant. additionally, as the traveler we are the witness that can record information even as we go through samsara, which is what i would call Marx and Communists et al. as we saw through the lies of the dominant class to attain class consciousness no matter the point in time during our world's cycle. also in the latest archon quest (spoiler alert for masquerade of the guilty AQ) we learn that focalors was cursed by celestia, so she hid herself and used furina to take over her role as an archon, until she sacrificed herself to stand up to celestia. this is reminiscent of how china is playing with the bourgeoissie in their country to pretend they are capatilism. (end spoiler) also also also we know that there were old old civilizations like the seven sovereigns that existed in what was yet to become teyvat when phanes came and killed or subdued them all representing the settler state of america. actually the world of genshin has discrete periods of time that could potentially represent the well known developments of historical materialism if i cared to stretch the truth enough.
I hope this elucidated the world of Genshin Impact and convinced you that it is Marxist. Please repost to /r/Genshin_Lore
edit fuck turns out someone did this already ironically-unironically on the actual sub 💀💀
If I had to choose, yes, I would choose prohibition over ancap permissiveness for things that hurt people.
My issue is how treatbrained the west is, right now; did you see how things went when it came to social distancing and masking restrictions for only a few months? Extrapolating from there to "no, your waifu gacha treat is now banned" would be a riot. Literally. Of the most fucking cringe kind.
This is entirely consistent with my view that most Westoids need to spend a long period of time in compulsory reeducation at the very least.
Also, if Genshin does end up banned in the West, I'm sure it'll be because of the Ebil CEE CEE PEE stealing our waifu data and not for any rational reason.
Treatbrain is a very serious problem that often results in volatile lashing out for even criticism of the treats, or even criticism of how the treat came about or at what cost as if the person consuming the treat feels personally threatened by such talk. I know I'm basically a living meme on this site for saying so but I still stand by that.
Do you know Masses, Elites, et Rebels?
Because I think I may agree with you on this position of treat ideology, in regards to Genshin...
That was a great read. Thank you.
I hate the individualist consumerist
that wriggle around pretty much everywhere where someone says "it is a choice to get suckered in" to a gambling habit, a monetization scheme designed to exploit people, or just reactionary propaganda with sufficient violence, sexual or otherwise, to get the "grown-ass adult" card stamped for renewal. Ever since I came here I've experienced pushback from even discussing such propaganda, often receiving the claim that the propaganda had no effect on the recipient which was a glaring falsehood considering how far out of their way the recipients went to take such criticisms of their treats as personal attacks.
If I did anything meaningful at all in my time posting here I hope I at the least contributed to rocking that individualist consumerist boat at least a little bit.
Yeah, you're welcome...
