I don't have a strong preference over what size the state is

I support having a state, just not one that is so big

I mean this politely, but you are politically confused. You are someone who cares about all of the inequality you see in the world, and it makes you really angry. Which is good.

I just want life to get better and for life to be more fair. I want the bombings to stop, I want the world to stop being exploited by the rich and the big corporations

I want the highways to be safer because I want to be safer driving on them. We have roads here that get 2-3 accidents PER DAY. These laws aren't working!

it gets to veto the entire UN, send bombs to Israel, and crush dissent back home.

It's good that you're angry about all of these things, but it's important to have a roadmap to actually achieve all of these things. It has more to do with how society is structured and how the government interacts with the people rather than the particular laws themselves. The current laws create inequality because they serve capital.

The reason you get dogpiled is because you're drawing a distinction between libertarian socialism and actually existing socialism in a way that implies you care more about freedom than the alternative.

The fact is, states like China have already implemented laws, particularly related to driving and surveillance, that are similar to what you're requesting. They've also had a heavy hand in regulating toxic apps without outright banning them. They are not libertarian. They are Marxist Leninists.

Get with the program and drop the libertarian label. It's American nonsense. Any major communist organization shares all of your concerns and has a better theoretical framework to achieve them.

I saw someone here recommend that you read state and revolution. I second this. If you have read it, I'd like to hear why it wasn't convincing enough for you to adopt its framework.

One wonders if they think inclusion is meaningless why it pisses them off so much.

Anthem was one of the worst most childish books I've ever read

These are not deep, rich story games with hours of voiced dialogue and well developed characters.

You know, I used to think this way, too. I still don't play the games, but I somehow got into an Elden Ring lore video loop, and there really is A LOT going on in the story. It's just not being presented in a traditional way.

Idk the writing went downhill in S3, so I wouldn't be surprised if S4 continues the trend

These rock.

I think the lack of underdrawing gives them a real looseness that feels natural.

I also like how the colors of the skin tones aren't really blended too much.

I don't typically like acrylic, but I think you're working with the texture it provides really well.
