The SUBLIMINAL Politics Of Minecraft
Pewdiepie, James Charles, these are just two of the big names behind the Minecraft renaissance. After a bit of a lull period, Minecraft’s back, bigger and better than ever.
So all this got me thinking about the politics and story of the game, and what messages it sends about the world around it. I’m not talking about the politics of its creator, because ehumkqnqsf, or about that hoky ending poem when you beat the game. I want to look at the underlying mechanics of the game and what they incentivize. The gameplay systems that go unquestioned and that promote certain actions over others.

the-politics-of-falcon-and-the-winter
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is a show about sidekicks. The people who stand behind the great men and the icons and often end up forgotten. Living in the shadow of a hero isn’t easy. And sometimes, people find themselves getting crushed under the heel of the great men the world idolizes.

THE F
the-forgotten-origins-of-video-games
As the United States prepared for nuclear war with the Soviet Union, the gears of the military-industrial complex spun with teams of academics and researchers creating all kinds of new tech in preparation for the nuclear clock to strike midnight. And computers were at the heart of the war effort. Thankfully, death and destruction weren’t the only thing programmers found themselves working on.

THE R
the-real-reason-privacy-matters
Internet privacy, the issue everyone knows they should care about, but probably don’t. And why would we care, Google’s collecting our data to server us better ads, ooh no the horror! This, obviously isn’t the whole picture, but it’s what most people think about internet privacy. But just because it might be easier not to care, it doesn’t mean we should just abandon trying to keep our data private. Because the issue of privacy strikes at the very heart of who we are. And to figure out why, we need to go back in time.

jim-sterling-had-a-bad-take-on-hong-kong
Tencent has been under hot-water recently, after Blizzard, a company Tencent holds a large stake in, suspended one of their e-thletes following this… In response, Blizzard took their prize money and suspended the player from participating in future tournaments for a year. This generated an uproar of online rage, and despite Blizzard reinstating the prize money and lowering the ban down to six months, the protests continue and there’s an effort to organize a demonstration at Blizzcon 2019 later this year. Blizzard denies Tencent had anything to do with the decision, but that hasn’t stopped the Reddit and Twitter mob from alleging that Blizzard bowed down to pressure from the Communist Party of China. The same Communist Party of China that has committed countless instances of human rights abuses in their country.
Now Jim Sterling put out a video a few days ago, and his reaction was a little different than mine. Let's talk about it.

Ben and Jerry’s has made a name for itself as a left-wing firebrand, routinely pumping out subversive cups of ice cream and radical manifestos. In a lot of ways, they are corporate responsibility in the flesh. But behind the progressive exterior is something they've tried to hide from their customers for decades.

THE P
the-politics-of-pixar-s-soul
Decades of fairy tales and family movies have conditioned us into expecting an ending where the hero conquers the threat, overcomes the odds and fulfills their dreams. Most of Pixar’s own movies feature characters ready to risk it all for these great, life-consuming passions. And don’t get me wrong, they make great stories! But, not very great lessons. And in this way, Soul is one of very few mainstream movies that subverts our expectations. Warning, spoilers ahead.
