Its Been Years Since A Nintendo Direct Made Me Feel Anything

the US war of independence was more about the worldwide conflict between the french and british colonial empires than it was about Freedom or Liberty. the US civil war was more about the competition of northern merchant-industrial capital and southern landed-agricultural capital than it was about Rights or Equality. wars aren't fought over ideology. of course those sentiments were real and existed, and of course no troops were actually charging into the battlefield out of personal love for one or the other segment of the bourgeoisie, but the sentiments supposedly behind these wars had existed long before the wars themselves came about. it was only when the actual centres of power wanted these wars that those sentiments and ideologies were able to come to the forefront. ideologies do not start wars, they are used to justify them. any benefit towards those ideologies is only coincidental insofar as it aligns with the real, material factors that create and maintain war. the US did not care about slaves, that much is clear from their antebellum treatment of black americans - they cared about slavery's economic effects, they cared about slaveowners

Baylan Skoll is one of the best Star Wars characters in a long time, I'm very much one of those people that has only really been able to get enjoyment out of Andor and TLJ as far as live action sW goes these days, but there are some things I've really been enjoying about Ahsoka. First of all, the choreography is actually GOOD. It feels like there's a different rhythm to each battle due to various fighting styles being shown, we see guard switches in tense standoffs like with Ahsoka vs Baylan and its dope and reminds me of this series' kurosawa roots. Baylan is super interesting and I love how the mercenaries bounce off our main two chars. And I am Shin Hati's strongest soldier just on account of her being really cool I love and support evil women
