hello bsky: I'm Stanley, indie dev creating text-heavy narrative experiences that are satirical, horrifying, or queer, and sometimes all at once. I make games for exactly 3 people to lose their minds. #gamedev #visualnovel #interactivefiction

It's easy to fall into the trap of seeing China as a utopia, or the greatest evil, but a real analysis focuses on successes, mistakes, flaws, and material outcomes. There must be a belief that decline is reversable, and that we can learn from what works and ignore what doesn't to advocate for change

I'll admit, the memes can be funny, and it's no secret that China is showing what is possible when you mobilize labor & capital with central planning.
But what the meme is really asking is "Why can China do this, and why can we not do this?". This requires a material diagnosis of both systems.

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

going to "creative industries" events is really cool because it's either the most corporate thing you've seen in your entire life or you turn up and the venue's closed and no one got an email about it
