Hi, Peter here to explain!

Who are Hegel and Marx?Hegel was an influential German philosopher from 1770-1831, who is known for his Phenomenology of the Spirit*, and Science of Logic**. After his death, followers of his philosophy split into Right and Left Hegelian camps. The Right camps focused on religion whereas Left camps increasingly turned atheist and used dialectics. Heinrich Leo was part of the former, whereas Karl Marx was part of the latter.

Karl Marx was the founder of modern socialism and communism, together with Friedrich Engels. They wrote their Communist Manifesto and The Capital. These gave rise to many later modern ideologies such as social democracy, anarchist communism, democratic socialism, trotskyism, and so on.

"Don't worry, he's just a nerd"Initially, the Leftists were ignored or ridiculed ("don't worry, he's just a nerd"), but as time went on, the division between the two grew, and before long, the Leftists got suppressed by the Prussian government (ironically, spearheading the core of the Leftists to further their efforts). Why were they repressed?

Many a state were conservative and employed the concepts of religion and divine right as a tool to repress people. With secularism, they would lose their raison d'être, and legitimacy would be lost, thus furthering rebellion. Thus, they repressed the Left Hegelians.

That's it, I'm creating trans peopleWith the repression, Left Hegelians were disbanded where possible by the State, but Marx and a group tried their efforts elsewhere, and strengthened their resolve.

With Marx's criticism of divine right and liberal democracy, as well as religion, as repressing the marginalised, came a social awakening that it was necessary to break free from these chains, in order to dismantle the repressive and often (quasi-)theocratic and capitalist state, so that man could be freed.

The liberation of women, queers, the disabled, and impoverished, thus would help in dismantling state absolutism and repression.

* an incredibly terse and hard to read work, concerning religion, ethics, metaphysics, and consciousness. Communism, fascism, historic nihilism, death of God theology, etc. have been influenced by it.** Also terse and hard to read, discusses dialectics, as well that thought and being are one.

Celeste is such a good game, I should play it again. Reminds me to donate to the local instance (blåhaj in this case), not sure how tho.

Are there more other gay&/trans, queer coded games?

For context, those being, if I recall correctly, in no particular order, as they're both the co-greatest commandments:

a) Love God (that is, what created everything, so you might as well interprete it as loving the universe)

b) Love thy neighbour

essentially just a form of the golden ... rule

Terrible, it should never be allowed that companies can grow this large.

It is transnational, after all

I stand with you also because although I'm queer, you help us stay safe and you are kind. Life is also enriched by you lot.

Very nice quote, Terry Pratchett's a great author. I'm partial to this one;

I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo."So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

- from "The Fellowship of the Ring", by J.R.R. Tolkien

General rule, something that has at least two from each category below is likely to be clickbait.

It's one of those stupid 'reaction to' videos, just my personal taste. I'm not watching a show to see your fake reaction, I'm watching a show because I want to see a show.

I don't have a de-clickbaiter for the reason that I want to be able to recognise clickbait and not click on it.

Some forums still exist, actually.

Definitely dystopian, yes. It's your classic "Go work, you're not ill at all" bullshit. I recall the story of a mum who had to work while having to undergo stressful chemo, being in the hospital. All because if she took more than a few days off, she'd be ineligible for health reimbursements etc.

Well, I like being able to do what I want. And a thing with lots of restrictions isn't part of that.

But consider that a hobby is voluntary. When you have a job, you have deadlines, obligations, etc. And that all creates stress which hobbies don't.

Honestly, wouldn't mind giving them that opt-out. They also should be able to negotiate favourable LGBT+ and labour rights protections, in case.

That's called being a member of the EU.

Hmm, not protected bicycle lanes. The lane one goes onto after crossing, is also not on the right. Still, good development.

Oops forgot to add pills in there, that's what I talked about re: the liver risk!

I picked the spray because I find it convenient for its quick drying time, but yeah.
