On the subject of the thing 8chan are raiding on, the supposed Jewish backing of the slave trade is something that Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam have been banging on about for at least the past thirty years. More recently, it's one of the brainworms that has been tearing the Labour Party over here apart, because there really is no anti-semitism so insidious that people won't claim it's just criticism of Israel (see also: Ken Livingstone's theory of Genocide by Diminished Responsibility).

Of course, there were Jewish slaveholders involved in the transatlantic slave trade, but to pretend that it was a uniquely or even majority Jewish thing on any facet is, of course, complete bollocks.

...I have been following stuff in U.K. politics, and I've not heard ANYTHING about Labour party members blaming the transatlantic slave trade on Jewish peoples. To be sure, there's been a lot of accusations of anti-semitism against Corbyn, which, after I've been looking at it, seems utter guff.

They're still incredibly dumb and there are still other people in the world. We're not actually forced to choose between Donald Trump and Violent J. When it comes to whose advice we should listen to or whose behaviour we should emulate, the answer here is neither. In the unlikely scenario that you find yourself in conversation with a Trump-supporting ICP fan who's not sure which of them to listen to, then you can recommend Violent J. But that's about the only time the choice should ever come up.

Violent J may be an idiot, but he's far from a malicious idiot.

I just... I don't understand how you can possibly play deus ex and not realise that the ultra wealthy tech psychos are the bad guys.

They literally try to kill your character, and your brother, and take over the world. The main bad guy is literally a technology obsessed megacapitalist who is plotting to kill a shitload of people with a virus.

There is no subtext or anything the game basically beats you over the head with how evil they are. Deus ex is a fascinating an in many ways nuanced game but there is no interpretation about that part of the plot.

I can understand he's never played deus ex but if you've played it how the gently caress you can miss literally the bluntest point of the game is mind boggling.

That's the thing about people who are inclined for psycho-nutter rightist thinking; they only look at aesthetics and context is meaningless to them.

Homonationalism is the coopting of queer politics by nationalist or imperialist ideology. For example, a focus on the right to serve in the military, or the use of LGBT oppression as a pretext for invasion.
