"you’re the biggest case of projection"

You should learn the meaning of words you use. I am not a corporate scumbag.https://i.postimg.cc/3xsFs2yw/i.png

Look at this picture, Mom can't even afford shelter. She is begging for their tolerance to remain sheltered having a kid and this fucking "your choice" shit is once again being thrown in their face. They don't give a fuck about the situation her dead spouse's bosses caused, they want their tax called rent right away.

And why is Mom begging to remain in their home if Mom was planning on killing xirself? Could it be the lack of shelter contributed to the suicide?

This is really and not a accidental comment on capitalism and the premise that capitalism is about choice and how capitalism pushes blame onto it's victims. Like textbook commentary on some of the issues of capitalism. Notice the similarity of dialogue when the bosses were pushing off blame for the death of Dad and "choice" and their response to Mom begging to remain in their shelter. Disingenuous comments about Dragonball Z is incredibly intellectually dishonest.

WTF you talking about, they worked Dad to death and said it was Dads choice. It wasn't a matter of "unemployment"

You got the order wrong. It's capitalism corrupting the government, not government corrupting capitalism (for the most part) The only way to avoid capitalism corrupting government is if you have a socialistic government, and even then it's not assured.

Super massive corporations are just the natural and rather unavoidable result of "capitalism". Capitalism isn't "free market" and competition, it's monetizing and controlling everything through money. Capitalism hates competition at the top, big businesses don't compete within themselves because that harms the business. Those corporations internally function like a state run economy.

If humans were perfect, then maybe capitalism could work. Because humans are flawed, we need something else, something better.

Most people in Japan, like most people anywhere, do jobs to have money for food and shelter etc. In those situations the bosses make sure it is known you comply or you get fired or perhaps mistreated and passed over for promotion at the very least. Furthermore in real life some people work extra hours to pay bills because the jobs pay isn't enough with regular hours. And of course a combination of these things. Especially a parent like in this case, having to support a kid and wife.

Most people aren't going to work themselves to death just based on "duty and responsibility". Japanese people care about money for food and shelter, their children and loved ones, etc as well.

But those people aren't leaders of socialist or communist nations.

The issue of capitalism is how people abuse the power and authority it gives to exploit those under them. Capitalism is not all that different than the feudalism that came before it.

How do you know?

Even if that is the case in the comic, it is true in real life capitalism destroys lives.

Karoshi means death by being overworked! Not because they fuxking choose to work to death! Especially a parent! Walked right past my main point! You are taking the side of the bosses blaming their victim! And it is not so unbelievable, this does happen in Japan! Not because of pride of working hard and long though!!!!

Japanese and South Koreans (not exclusively, but especially) are forced to work bad hours and low wages. They even have a special word for worst offenders "black companies". Yes there is a cultural attitude of hard work and not making trouble, but the capitalists have pushed for this and exploited this.

They worked the husband to death and then shoved a mom with kids on the street with no money. The capitalists stole this families future. This is why Mom was doing all sorts of fun stuff first. That is why Mom committed suicide. Not because Mom got "sick" with "depression". I suppose Mom should have seen a shrink or taken drugs with the money xhe didn't have about not being able to provide food or shelter for the family!!!

Don't be a idiot!

Combine Alvins basic reasoning and personality and the elfs hidden power and you could have a amazing adventurer, especially in a world where most everything else is a joke.

Hmm? That wasn't the cop as a kid. That was the teen with the umbrella that got possessed by the evil entity of the diorama (or whatever that is called)

Could that even be called "depression", which is probably a term best reserved for medical condition where you are irrationally sad.

This family was destroyed by capitalism.

Interesting commentary on capitalism there.

Notice the use of "choice". Capitalist apologists love to make everything sound optional and a matter of individual choice, regularly shifting all blame to the commoner class workers.

This family was destroyed by capitalism. And it's very believable scenario, especially in hyper capitalist Japan with a very high suicide rate

Not sure it was a case of MC not trusting em. If it were, surely MC would say some words about being careful because it might be bad. MC just didn't want to give up such a great item.

Anyway this is a world where you get rewards for quests, and some hidden group that wants to help MC stop the Angels and Demons. This deal is very believable. Not saying it's for sure legit. But it's not exactly suspicious either.

How dare you call us assassins or sneak attack us! We were only trying to assassinate your friend and leader with a sneak attack!

Some people!

With more success chance the amount of time and materials to make X amount of anything gets reduced.

If you can successfully make a potion three quarters of the time, you will use less time and material to get 100 potions than you would if you only succeeded half the time.

More success rate not only means you produce more units of whatever in a certain amount of time, you also use less ingredients per unit since failures I presume would still cost ingredients and less failures.

Right, no way the plot of such a major villain resolves so simply and suddenly
