I'm putting episode 2 here. The thread would get unwieldy otherwisePermalink On twitter.com
-
You know what I fucking forgot to tweet? "Kirito if you die in the game you die in real life." with a screencap of the first dude getting shot. fuck it would've been so funny. and now the moment is gone foreverOn twitter.com

ay you still got the stick in there tho. you still got the stick in there tho. AY YO YOU STILL GOT THE STICK IN THEREPermalink On twitter.com
-
I like that they showed up with guns the second time, not the first. The first time they wanted to build trust. The second time they're ready to crush a riotPermalink On twitter.com
-
"If you just follow the rules you can leave safely" > interacting with American copsPermalink On twitter.com
-
But the same people who defend cops think the pink guys in Squid Game have a point lmao. No saving themPermalink On twitter.com
-
And I like how the only real way out of this is for everyone to collectively make the decision to defend themselves. Every player has to decide they don't want to. It's really, really well-positioned politically.Permalink On twitter.com
-
They're doing a union vote, and the games use the promise of bonuses for a few to break the solidarity of the manyPermalink On twitter.com
-
And I like that per eliminated player the prize money grows, to get you thinking that you can personally beat the system and win, rather than the correct choice of ending the system of exploitation and deathPermalink On twitter.com
-
"It's just as bad out there as it is in here" the show is really obvious. this is a good thing, but it's funny how much of the discourse is like, not getting still somehowPermalink On twitter.com
-
They fucking call it a democracy even though one group of people manufactured the circumstances behind the vote to suit their interests. Isn't that funny. It's almost as if it's a dictatorship of a certain class of peoplePermalink On twitter.com

He really said as-salam alaykum 🥺Permalink On twitter.com
-
I like how he doesn't know what a future is. Very relatable. I did IT for a futures company for a bit and I still don't know what it is. I followed the whole Gamestop saga and I still don't know what the fuck a future isPermalink On twitter.com
-
Squid Game: "Hospital bills are oppressive" New York Times: "What quirky commentary on a situation relevant to South Korea and South Korea only"Permalink On twitter.com
-
Two entire characters that cannot afford medical costsPermalink On twitter.com
-
Ali's employer does not pay him, which is why he is in debt. He had to go to the hospital because the job wrecked him. No unions. No healthcare. No compensation. And they will say it's about "consumerism" or something holy fuckPermalink On twitter.com
-
ALI FUCKIN MERC'D HIS BOSS, TOOK HIS PAYCHECK AND LEFT BEST CHARACTER. BASED. POGGERS. WOOBLIE PILLEDPermalink On twitter.com
-
second best character. I still like my man Seoul Gi-Hun thoPermalink On twitter.com
-
Oh it's wobblie-pilled. Like the IWWPermalink On twitter.com
-
A second character says that it's worse outside, in capitalism, than in the game. But please, I'm sooo confused what is this show trying to say??Permalink On twitter.com
-
Seong Gi-Hun watched a guy die at work instead of being there for his child's birth, and then was laid off later. The show's criticism of capitalism is rather thorough. It's not just the debt and the violence, it also makes relationships impossiblePermalink On twitter.com
-
Wow I ended up finishing this episode. I am so tired. My homework is unfinished. Tomorrow is going to be hell. But I think this was worth itPermalink On twitter.com
-
This is what a critique of capitalism looks like. What'll put Squid Game over the edge is if it starts advocating for any kind of socialism as a solution. So I'll look out for thatPermalink On twitter.com
-
I like that everyone that decides to go back quite literally has no choice. We're shown their options. they have none. The Squid Game isn't voluntaryPermalink On twitter.com
