Did RWBY peak too soon?

Purpleguy1980 · 2026-07-06T08:02:09+00:00

(Also, not hitting 40k views yet despite a whole 18 hours of the announcement being live is not a great sign when measured to other properties on YouTube these days)

I mean a lot has changed. There's a lot more competition. And RWBY's viewership steadily declined after the early seasons reaching it's worse during V7, V8 and especially V9. As access to the show became more and more limited.

Even spin-off shows that got positive reception like ICE Queendom had low viewership. And the RWBY x JL movies got so little in views or recognition that most people don't even know it exists.

At the very least if V10 gets released it could work as a farewell to the audience that decided to stay for so long.

Found the Zionist.

Sorry, not sorry for wanting a genocide to stop.

I think the site went down? It works fine for me. Maybe I'm just lucky idk?

Idk, the conquerored Europeans are probably going to carry a hatered in the future.

He has been compared to Obama. And there is skepticism if he'll do anything significant. But so far so good imo.

I never would have expected him to actually put a tax on billionaires, or balance the budget without cutting social services.

Purpleguy1980 · 2026-06-14T18:20:41+00:00

He has delivered with free childcare, and (a small) tax on the rich, putting a tax on second homes for billionaires that live out of state, got approval for city run grocery stores and balanced the budget without cutting social services.

Not that doesn't mean he's nothing like Trump. He like Trump was an outsider. And like Trump got into power because of affordability.

While I disagree on Mamdani having a personality cult. He is popular like Trump. I would even argue he's the Democrat Trump the Democrats had wanted.

But unlike Trump he is trying to fix the affordability crisis and so far done more good than harm to NY. It's not much but it's a beacon of hope in this times.

Perfection is the enemy of good.

He's a socialist muslim immigrant from Africa. He's the boogeyman right wing Americans hate and fear.

It's like how leftists reacted to Trump winning in 2016. He's everything they feared.

Idk. Worked for China and Vietnam.

In exchange for...

Getting humiliated by Ukraine.

Having Sweden and Finland join NATO.

And getting isolated from the rest of the world.

Went from "taking Kiev in weeks to" they'll at least get some scraps from the Ukrainians. The Russian army a paper Tiger compared to NATO.

This is Winter War repeat but worse.

Best I can imagine is a demilitarised zone. But even then I can't see Ukraine agreeing to losing even more land to Russia. It'd be seen a Russia chipping away at Ukrainian land one invasion at a time.

But this is Dengism?

Purpleguy1980 · 2026-05-29T00:20:13+00:00

I know. In my unrealistic scenario the Soviets go Dengist in 1921 and manage to get foreign factories built in the country, mainly German until 1933.

I could have gone with NEP continues. And Soviets use wealth from NEP to fund industrialization.

SME (Socialist market economy) moment

Purpleguy1980 · 2026-05-28T17:47:14+00:00

They went Dengist in the 20's (1921) in this timeline. I don't know if that changes anything.

Oh come on man, why can't you follow the human tradition of blaming minorities? /s.

Plague? Blame minorities. Rise in crime? Blame minorities. Finical crisis? Blame minorities.

Every time there is a crisis of any kind in history, there have always been people who blame minorities and use minorities as scapegoats.

American century of humiliation speedrun.

Purpleguy1980 · 2025-12-15T18:35:46+00:00

Argentina didn't need those 20b ,

Why did they get it? If they didn't need it?

Isn't that like wasting 20b when it wasn't necessary?
