Well, as long as the public would be resistant to the expansion of the concentration camps. That should make up for the deaths.

Sounds like a lot of money. Could have housed and fed people with that.

What? If you have money most laws don’t apply to you in the country already.

Why work on resisting the popular majority in the democratic-ish country?

Should be underground railroadings women and queers out of America.

Yeah! Die like Americans!

Does KH & TW not changing stance on this issue not mean they are A-OK with full-fascist America then?

Yeah, it’s not like we are voting for dems because they slowly move the needle slightly more socially liberal… it’s because the damn sky is falling.

Gonna be scary if JD fucking Vance is in the white house next year…

My vote didn’t matter, but that paper got used… don’t really feel great about it, but I did my duty.

Sorry, you can also earn Gems in ranked which you use to unlock heroes which are something like $25 each currently. Which is so much money. I miss when you bought a game for a flat fee and played it as much as you wanted to.

What is there to be hopeful about?

Yeah, “most” seems strong now, but there is enough discourse online to say it isn’t uncommon.

“We need to simplify” indie games are doing just fine. It’s almost like super massive studios take much more money to make games with less replay value.

And who expects cinematic masterpieces? Most gamers skip the cutscenes and all dialog lol

Studios make the games pretty for pre sale hype. Getting people interested without game play.

Your ability to be scared has more to do with your ability to be immersed in the game. Some people need outlast and some people only need minecraft. But also if you play amnesia as it was intended it is very scary. You can also run around a table repeatedly and get a good look at tge monster if you are not in the “horror mood” nothing is scary.

You responding to the wrong comment? Or just didn’t read what I wrote and made your own random comment under mine?

I think you are making a lot of good points here, but in a really, “I’m just a simple country farmer” sorta tone. We didn’t get here on accident. When I was young Obama ran for office and he is consistently still the youngest political figure we see doing anything. We have systemically leaned into old white men so hard in the last ten years that it feels like a joke.

The age of our politicians has begun to skyrocket. The AVERAGE senators should not be 64 years old, I don’t think a single American would argue it should be. But it is.

That assumes we educate gen beta, with no time, money, resources, or fucking example to go off. So yeah, don’t hold your breath that a magic future generation will both A understand the economic climate that professional economists struggle to explain, and B have a willingness to help poor people once you are in the “I’m so smart and handsome and God even loves me more than anyone poor” pipeline they shove you down.

“The poll found that 36% of respondents 18-29 agree that “political involvement rarely has any tangible results” – up from 22% who felt that way in 2018. Those who agree that “I don’t believe my vote will make a real difference” went to 42% in the current poll, an increase from 31% in 2018. And well more than half – 56% – believe that “politics today are no longer able to meet the challenges our country is facing,” up from 45% who felt that way in 2018.” https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-04-25/youth-losing-faith-in-politics-poll Took me two minutes on Google to see the MASSIVE difference between young people being disengaged in every political cycle and what is happening now.

While you have laid this all at the feet of change a generation has to deal with. I would argue that it is the complete lack of change that drives this. You can see the massive shift we are having where political power has only the use of enriching the individual. Senators gets bribes and we get a worse country, repeat. But the amount that younger generations have been invited into this inner circle of bribed law makers, rich people, and those tasked with penning the actual laws has swiftly moved to almost zero. You are not welcome in politics if you are young, and until you get older, jaded, and much more willing to take bribes at the cost of your convictions, we don’t need you.

The idea that gen z gives a shit at all is honestly astounding. Like imagine growing up, and your parents never had the power to do anything positive for the country. Your grandparents are running the family business, and no one is ready to take over when grandpa dies, because they didn’t want to prepare tge world to go on without them. They wanted tge world to crash and burn when they die so that everyone will know they were needed.

At least that is the perspective of someone who first voted for Obama and change. And all I got was dead brown people in the middle east at ever increasing rates.

Honestly as a left leaning American, it looks like the plan of massive non-white genocide that the old white people love is continuing swimmingly. And will probably continue to as long as tge only path for a young person to power is boot licking or nepotism.

Carful, you start looking at areas of our society that don’t make any sense as an economic vehicle, and you might start advocating for giving food to people who are hungry and houses to people on the street!

I bet a poll like this would have similar results every year I’ve been alive.

That second one. I’m pretty up for the complete distruction of our entire system of life, including the removal of currency. But I’m also against violence. That is why I just keep my head down and try to vote to power what I want. But obviously no political party in America is running on tge platform of, “let’s tear it all down” so tge democrats are usually as left as it gets. It’s just not very left anymore. (With a grain of salt for how actually center-right the dems are)
