  • “Oh they didn’t actually mean that, it was all jokes”.

    Because those were jokes.

    The problem we have today is not that it was socially acceptable to be a psychopath online in 2014. The problems are, in my opinion:

    • Rapidly decreasing standards of living
    • Social media making people more stupid
    • Governments being too large and intransparent
    • Pointless governmental spending without explaining the why to the population

    The right-wing shift is part of a global failure of established governments.














  • It’s still swallowing the entire industry

    No, it’s not. There’s phenomenal indie games out there. Hades 2, Elfen Ring DLC and Black Myth Wukong are just some of the latest games I’m having a blast with, and then theres still rimworld, factorio, timberborn, CK3, Dead by Daylight … The list goes on. None of those games has Ads for ingame purchases (except DbD) and all of them are phenomenal.

    None of them are AAA,truey, but idc. Theres so many fun games out there that idc what ubisoft, EA, Activision or other shit companies release.

    I think iPhones are overpriced garbage, yet I’m not sitting here and asking for them to be banned - I just don’t buy it. I bought a used pixel 6, installed graphen, done.

    I think casinos are stupid and a waste of money, yet I’m not sitting here and asking for them to be banned. I just don’t go there.

    I think Microsoft, google and Amazon are terrible companies, yet I’m not sitting here and asking for them to be banned. I just don’t use their products and services.

    Making a change starts with yourself. If you don’t buy their stuff, great - still plenty of great games out there.

    Elon Musk is not my enemy. The fact that billionaires got a massive pile of money doesn’ylt affect me in the slightest.

    You know what does affect me? Corrupt government officials that embezzle public funds, spend it on stupid projects that only enrich their friends and families. That affects me.

    You really think that giving the government access to even more money will help you? Hell no. It’s going to end up in the same hands as now, just more of it.

    Taxes are a borderline infinite money source, and if you don’t have to worry about s source drying up you start wasting it, which is exactly what’s happening in many countries now.
