  • Malala could have had some vaguely “left” sympathies when she was attending that Trot summer camp 2012 as a 16 year old. But I doubt that she has any kind of real socialist convictions left in her as a 27 year old adult, when she’s been safely ensconced within Western elite liberal “progressive” institutions for more than a decade, and is now so financially secure and socially accepted within that crowd that she’s co-producing suffragette Broadway musicals with the Hilldawg herself. https://archive.ph/rURQV

    She’s not a comrade or any sort of revolutionary. At most she’s a safe brown “activist” who’s ultimately compatible with Western capitalist hegemony.

    Was making a reference to Overlord: an overworked salaryman from near-future cyberpunk Japan wakes up in a fantasy world as his VRMMO player character (i.e., the skeleton in the pic), and alongside with the evil NPCs created by himself and his former guildmates (they were a guild dedicated to roleplaying evil grotesque monsters) proceed to take over the world using the power of fantasy violence. Because the MC and his NPCs are absurdly over-leveled compared to the fantasy world natives, the casualties are incredibly one-sided and genocidal.

    The show’s a bit above average compared with other isekai, as it balances out its shameless powerfantasy with some decent comedy of errors and quite some effort being put into the worldbuilding/power system. It has a fair amount of typical anime horniness though, though I think it’s relatively tame compared to the lowest common denominator isekai slop.
