  1. Do a "philosophy of Overwatch" please!!!
    I am not smart and knowledgable as you guys, but I noticed various motifs and ideas hiding in OW colorful scheme. Duality of oneself, mind and soul, social and political statements, racial issues, the necessity of violence etc.

  2. Has this guy even read the Bible? xD he called America the land of God? Maybe your god Lucifer.. European the children of God? Bahahaha. You do know everything whites have gained was by the sword right? Like Easu? Now go read the Bible and see who the Isrealite truly is.

  3. 2:48– Ahh, the good ol' days of New Deal and Great Society US, ignoring more overt homophobia and "let's conflate stupidity with poverty and minority and genuine mental disability and neuter them".

  4. Ah yes, Objectivism… That terrifying philosophy that believes you and all your neighbors voting to rob me in the name of some abstract "public good" is still theft. Government a la Rand protects individuals from violence, not using guns to enforce the whims of the majority. Piss poor analysis.

  5. Bioshock was prove that no perfect empire stands for too long
    Bioshock 2 made that permanent by destroying Rapture
    And Bioshock Infinite shows that no matter what timeline/year/reality it is the "shining city on a hill" concept still wouldn't work
    (These games are absolutely my favorite that was just what i took from it)
