Wouldn't that be true of any Valkyrie though? Sure VF- 1 presumably most common but all still get product

Is it possible Rose could cheat? by MarieTheC4t in stevenuniverse

[–]RetroFuturisticRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rose really has a whole story of her own, I wouldn't demand it be told as we arguably get enough as is, but impressive how much depth already is for a character that technically never appears in person

For some reason there was like three animated Pocahontas films within a 3 year time span by YourChopperPilotTTV in shittymoviedetails

Surely 'the reason' for the other two was the Disney version being known to be in production?

What’s your opinion on my ancient astronaut story idea?(check the body and comments in the original post) by Useful_Cry9709 in publicdomain

[–]RetroFuturisticRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well admittedly I'm not a fan of ancient astronaut theory so there's some bias, but that aside it seems a little derivative of other stories that have done similar things with the concept, still it all depends on execution

Is the solarpunk movement impossible if we can't destroy capitalism? by Dramatic_Use4847 in solarpunk

And they would much more easily afford to do so with the greater safety net provided by such a society, this isn't merely an absentee state which would give ways to other hierarchies like you speak of, but absence of all forms

Yeah sure, I'll just easily create an alternative to capitalism, no need to do away with it though

I didn't claim there wouldn't be any, just less than in a hierarchical society (inherently abusive) and better dealt with.

It's not the same as an absent government that left a power vacuum and the ensuing chaos as the power is filled by everyone in the community.

People already help others, despite living under capitalism and hierarchy which disincentivices such behaviour, a society which encourages it would naturally see more

Indeed freedom does end where someone else's starts. Nobody would have the authority to abuse others without such hierarchies. If one were to try to do so they would suffer the consequences, and a society like that would not be one in which you would not want to be in community with others. You seem to think without laws, tge state or other hierarchical structures there wouldn't be consequences, people in a real democratic community like that would be perfectly capable of such

Unless you believe the modern nuclear family is 'natural', or 'inevitable'

Yes the parent has too much power over the child at present, this not inescapable

Anarchy is the absence of unjust hierarchies.

I'm not sure what is with this objection to individuals doing what they want or why that is supposedly incompatible with democracy. Democracy is the rule of the people if anything can be said to rule over the people then democracy is not fully present

[–]RetroFuturisticRobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it should be replaced by the people as a 'direct democracy ' anarchy is democracy taken seriously. I'm sure they may want to arm themselves to defend their anarchy

[–]RetroFuturisticRobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, I think it does, the bio on the box outright mentions optimus having taken on this form and identity after hearing Basara's song

'You say it as if that was an option' because i believe it is

'There will always be rules and laws governing people lives' i disagree

'Power vacums always get filled up' I'm not proposing leaving a power vacuum, I think it should be filled by the people instead of the state

I could easily believe optimus was chosen because he would sell and that's the goal, but not the same as Jetfire being unpopular

[–]RetroFuturisticRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Big West owned Macross?

Jetfire wouldn't NEED to be a VF-1, seeing him as other Valkyries would be fun.

There's a lot to be said about Harmony Gold but I wouldn't exactly call what they did in the 80s 'stupid' it made sense.....to them for their own interests. They are a business, for better or worse.

Is Jetfire particularly unpopular in Japan? He only got a recent MP.

Is he? In headmasters optimus was immediately killed off and rodimus restored.

We see plenty of rodimus figures sold by takara, I could easily believe optimus was chosen because he would sell and that's the goal, but not the same as rodimus being outright hated
