The clergy's endorsement of the Divine Right of Kings has its counterparts in all advanced religions and cultures of the world - be it South Asian (Hindu & Buddhist), Middle-Eastern (Islam) or Western (Christianity).

See "they are subsumed by the existing powers in much the same way that criticism of capitalism today is used to reinforce it. It does not mean that to point out flaws in capitalism is somehow bad or anti-communist."

It is not just limited to the European Middle Ages, religious institutions have been defining class status and roles since time immemorial.

They have also been breaking class status and roles them since time immemorial. The first Christian communities were literal communes that formed autonomous zones in the Roman Empire which was partly the reason they were so violently suppressed. Even in countries where the "official" stance of the church was pro-state, there were hundreds of rebellions against this idea based on those same scriptures.

religions are fundamentally social structures built to set hierarchies and justify inequality

Incorrect, they are subsumed by the existing powers in much the same way that criticism of capitalism today is used to reinforce it. It does not mean that to point out flaws in capitalism is somehow bad or anti-communist.

Religious communes have been the closest thing to communism humanity has created before the industrial revolution, even if they were idealists. The heart of religion is revolutionary, the sigh for a future we can't imagine on earth. Don't confuse your understanding of Christianity in Europe during medieval times as a standard formula for religion everywhere.

Can't wait for liberals to claim the election was stolen, do a shitty protest in the capital, get murdered by cops, and complete their transformation into literal Blue MAGA.

It’s also worth noting that their policy WAS originally raising humans underground, but it changed massively AFTER their prince got mercilessly slaughtered for taking their adoptive sibling’s corpse out of the barrier to be buried by their own species.

Adults murdered my son so I must slaughter unrelated children. I will also not use my power upon the death of the first child to go and collect the other souls from more deserving people. Instead I will sit around waiting, condemning the first 7 children who show up to death. Nor will I decide to stay underground and let the children go if that was my goal in the first place.

Even in context Asgore is objectively evil. If Asgore went out in anger and slaughtered 6 humans in retaliation then that'd be wrong but still understandable. The comparison to the IRA is absolutely shit because they never decided to target unrelated children of British people at the expense of their own goals. If the IRA had a choose between bombing a daycare center or Margaret Thatcher then they'd be evil if they decided to bomb the daycare.

end of the month

cops ticketing you for absolute bullshit

Oh yeah, it's filling a quota time. Do the risky shit the first 3 weeks or so but never on the last few days. Ironically, stopping at that same light would probably have been more risky as you'd have to slam on the brakes.

This is also why, despite doing stuff like killing six children, people like Asgore are not treated narratively as evil

Okay I know they murdered 6 innocent children but if you look at the narrative...

I agree with your interpretation generally but fuck do most of the monsters deserve to be beaten up if not killed from a purely game play perspective. Do their souls disappear if they die of old age? Why not give them a happy life underground, use that one soul to travel to the human world, kill 6 landlords, and then go back to free everyone like Toriel explained.

Communists and refusing to learn from their historical counterparts, name a better duo. In Iraq, the communists wanted to decree away Islam. Instead, they created pockets of resistance because leading with "We will take away your closely held beliefs by force." fucking sucks as an opener. Learn from Modern China, who used actual Islamic teachings to explain why ISIS was incorrect. You literally want to be a frothing liberal's dream of a communist government.

if they feel alienated or society isn’t working for them fuck them.

You don't want results, you want purity. You'd rather have a state fail for the right reasons than succeed on a compromise. Your policy is literally to create disaffected billions because the idea of presenting an healthy masculinity is morally repugnant to you. You are a liberal in all but your goal.

Enjoying the fights comes at a real cost to your materials. You can either enjoy getting into random fights, or enjoy having good weapons.

It pits resource management against fun and that's a shit trade.

Imagine calling "preventing the player from fighting enemies for fun" a system.

It's like saying not being able to open doors is a mechanic.

Just avoid the parts of the game that are fun and enjoyable because the design discourages it.

Imagine if you create an awesome combat system and then most players had to avoid it because of resource management.

Look Palworld is grounded in reality and full of real world problems which is why its better than Gamefreak Pokemon.
