Based on The Mesopotemians by They Might Be Giants and the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Saw The Zone of interest yesterday.

Not by me originally, only translated from German (Lemmy post), originally posted on Bluesky (only accessible with an account)

A parody of "The Treachery of Images" by Rene Magritte, but with Nixon.

"White death" by Sabaton

I heard they took down the original video of this song because the pictures had the rifle with a scope. Simo never used one I guess.

Recently stumbled on an anime (though if it's anime can be debated) which are essentially just history shitposts on ancient greece. Each episode ends in a song, this being one of my favorites.

Edit: it seems some episodes are on youtube https://youtu.be/LF0ufQp_nmY?si=q3Ncev1Rj5KzE3ph

Tl;dw - Unlike China and Japan, medieval Korea followed an extreme school of Confucianism that emphasized hierarchy and age over practicality. After WW2, the South Korean ~~dictatorship~~ government used this tradition to cement their own power. The video argues that these have made South Korea an extremely hierarchical, and in particular, sexist, society. A video game's refusal to sexualize a female character for their (mostly male) audience was thus seen as an attack on the system. A female artist at the studio was accused of being a 'radical feminist', and either fired or resigned to appease fans.
