There's a reason WW1 resulted in global revolution and ended with the counter revolution that was WW2 and the "Cold War"

That's what they're going for

Wait, I'm in the US. You start at 5 and by the time you're in 7th grade you're on your 8th year. That's 13

I think the real issue is more of "okay, so if this didn't get caught by the pre-flight inspection, what else was missed"

Yeah, like how opiates today still have very valid medical uses, but their application has become so widespread that they've left the realm of medical tools (for many people) and entered the realm of escapism.

When people aren't turning to religion because of their total fear of destruction and destitution by capitalism, and the churches themselves begin to take on a more community organized and driven structure, you'll see the "true" form of religion emerge and over time the need for that religion will fade as the needs that were sated by religion becomes sated by the community as a whole.

Or at least the religion begins to take on the form of the socialized society that it exists in as opposed to impressing it's own hierarchical structure on the society that seems it out.

Yeah, the best interpretation is that a communist mode of production would remove the need for the pain dulling opiate that is religion.

The allegory actually holds up on terms of the war on drugs, where fighting against the medication that people give themselves while in pain and despair doesn't solve the underlying pain and despair, but building communities and reducing the harm that those drugs cause will over time reduce the abuse of those drugs.

Like in a socialist case, providing alternative organizational structures to churches and allowing those seeking to leave an abusive or conservative church to have a safe haven where they are respected outside their "opiate of the masses" consumption is healthy. But at the end of the day the drugs aren't what's causing the problem, it's the societal structures that drive people to use them that's the problem.

I got a 100% increase over the past 2 years and I'm actually worse of now because rent went up 120% and groceries went up 70%

6th or 7th grade is 13-14 year olds.

That's weird, when I do it one paragraph at a time or translates "kick in the balls" correctly

It is machine games developing it though, and the Wolfenstein games were actually pretty good.

They have tons of experience with games about killing Nazis
