hello everyone. just wanted to let you all know I'm being admitted to the hospital for several days. use of my phone will be limited, I'll do my best to check in when i can. <3

seeing some…. takes in the squid game tag that are like (spoilers ahead) “gi-hun is bad because he didn’t win the game by being kind all the time!!” and im like. no shit!! that’s the whole point of ali’s character?? you cant survive or thrive in a capitalist society by only being nice and kind and trusting blindly. the definitive trait that help gi-hun survive wasn’t kindness, it was his willingess to work together with other players. none of the main characters would have survived on their own, thats what the rope game was trying to SHOW. they needed ali’s strength, sang-woo’s cunning and il-nam’s experience to pull through. and its gi-hun the one that brings people together. which isnt to say that gi-hun wasnt kind despite his many flaws. he helps il-nam again and again not because he knows the old man is an strategic genius, but because he doesn’t want him to get killed, even if that puts his team at a disadvantage. it’s the same reason why he chooses to forfeit the ENTIRE PRIZE when he has PRACTICALLY WON and try to save sang-woo… walking out alive with his humanity intact and his friend is the real victory. squid game isnt a story about One Great Man With Skills paving his way into success by pullying himself by his bootstraps: THATS A CAPITALIST NARRATIVE!! squid game is about how we need each other to survive and its precisely those mechanisms that capitalist society puts to make us believe that Only One can make it (despite the evidence that only working together can we get anywhere on the first place!) that are so evil and insidious
