I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

    Ah, sorry – I was joking. The French prefix ‘bureau’ (having to do with offices, desks, writing) coupled with the ancient Greek suffix “cratos” (power, might) would be a good name for some god of bureaucracy – but there is no such god in the ancient Greek pantheon. A better comparison would be the Celestial Bureaucracy, I guess!

    Yeah, I’ve got some relatives who are into the shaman healing stuff. We’ve got to keep on eye on it so they don’t give away all their money to fraudsters.

    I did learn some feng shui though, it was super useful when buying land. I bought the most cursed, haunted land possible according to feng shui, to get the best price. Since I plan to live there, not sell, this was fine and saved me about 200-400 trieu.

      I did know you were joking but I didn’t know “bureaucratos” until you explain it to me. Cultural difference, I guess.

      Regarding the Celestial Bureaucracy (or Heavenly Court). Nowadays, it is often used in fictional works as a metaphor for actual government to criticize the government. Actually, it is not just “nowadays”, it has always been used as a metaphor for actual government.
