My name is @Spice8Rack aka. The Person Whose Voice You're Reading This In and welcome to my channel! Here we talk about Magic: the Gathering lore, ludonarrative dissonance, and why politics matters in games. Stick around for a while, you might laugh/learn something/forget about Sarah.

There's a part in this video where I talk about "social murder"; death caused by the normal functioning of the status quo. Homelessness, lack of medical care, police violence, etc.
What needs to be understood, with the escalating terror of ICE is two fold: first that the regime is trying to make street murder the new status quo, to fold spontaneous executions into the common sense of the day & you both must not let them & can forge a new status quo if you join together to fight hard enough for one. The second is that this has been happening under the watch & boot of this same state for generations. To the colonized & enslaved & to those in other nations considered to be the "backyard" of empire. Fascism is Imperialism turned inward & if you're now fighting the worsening of conditions at home, fantastic - you have my strength & love. But when a day comes when things are calm & peaceful in your street again, take that fight further & ensure that no one has to suffer this kind of inhumanity again.
Solidarity forever. Fuck ICE - give them hell, so they may know & fear what awaits them.

Thank you to everyone who watched & left so many lovely comments under my latest video!

It was a good few months of work - both through some pretty tough & pretty wonderful periods of my life - & I really do appreciate you all for sitting through such a dense piece. Especially over the holidays!

To everyone who thanked me for giving you good arguments to use against your weird relatives over Christmas: I hope they were completely confused when you started talking about Omenpaths in the middle of your Wallerstienian diatribe xoxox

I've made a video about one of Magic's weirdest ever sets: Through the Omenpaths. youtu.be/LNGowvILFXo
What works, what really doesn't, and what does it say about culture & society? Watch to find out, & to confirm for yourself that I am not, in fact, dead!

Why does Magic always have to be so political?
