You hate capitalism because you want to be paid go on a power trip and wear a cool hat.
I hate capitalism because I believe alienation from the means of production is spiritually corrosive.
WE ARE NOT THE SAME.
"Gamergate is back!"
Yeah nah, fuck that shit. 10 years ago the industry made it super duper clear who they cared about and it sure as fuck wasn't the people buying and playing their games.
I'm not simping for an industry that hates me. Fuck off, go bankrupt, all of you.
I have seen more and more gentle nudging towards cash from small businesses these days, I live in Saskatchewan. Has anyone else noticed this trend? I figure I should start carrying more bills..
We did it. We organised a legal open letter, a protest against the all-male membership of the Garrick Club and two judges were recused from cases.
This evening they voted to accept female members.
That’s what you call making history✊🏼
Well done

Because when I say "I am tired of the regime's ideology infecting all media like a totalitarian state" you go "What regime?" or "What ideology?"
There's plenty of dishonest bad faith evasion of difficult topics to go around.
This is why eunuchs are always the prized servants of the paranoid and out of touch elites of declining empires.
They're like hothouse flowers, only capable of surviving in the environments created for them and thus, exceptionally easy to control and keep obedient.
“Transgender” people are like pandas.
They’re only alive because specific persons with ethnic ties keep funding the institutions that play along with their delusions.
If nobody intervened, the problem would have sorted itself out in a decade or two, effectively going extinct.
OK what is their place in society exactly?
Because it seems to be "Fucking everywhere" and my position is that they're just the postmodern form of the court eunuch which always shows up in decadent and declining empires.
Not to mince words: the far right's jeering obsession with denying the reality of trans people or their place in society is twisted. It's school-shooter psychopathy - pleasure from tormenting the weak -given political form. Real Americans do not like or agree with these creeps.

Doesn't take a team of hundreds and a gazillion contractors to make a good game.
Good games were being made with a few people decades ago. They are still being made with a few people now.
Just takes a clear vision and good project management.
Everyone knows it, but all the extra tech stuff that is added to car dashboards, windows etc... isn't even worth it. It breaks, or costs a fortune to fix, and it doesn't even make your life that much better, and people just say they want something simple back.

I don't have words to describe how it feels to have been playing this game for several weeks, that nobody else cares about, until this shit blows up.
It's a genuinely great game, it doesn't deserve this shit.

But Panda, the alternative would involve normies admitting they were wrong.
And remember, normies would literally rather kill themselves than admit they were wrong.
@oper10_Tweets
Here's the thing, we never stopped being bullied by our peers. The bullies just went from being sports jocks who otherwise do cool things to people like yourself who only know how to be self righteous.
I'm not afraid of the state killing me. I'm aware that wouldn't be considered a victory condition by their standards.
They are sadists and their aim is for me to lose all hope and kill myself. I don't intend to give them the satisfaction.
Hey remember when people got their right to go outside and go to work taken away unless they participated in unregulated experimental medicine for private profit and none of these people gave a shit (because they were shareholders).

Brother if you think Valve are doing nothing then you're letting some very powerful search features go to waste.
There's a reason I'm so good at finding really good quality obscure indie games and they're to do with Valve's tools rather than any genius I possess.
One of the annoying side effects of being interested in history is realising that almost every practice in historical societies that we look down upon and go "how barbaric" or "how primitive" is something we do ourselves, we just frame it differently.
Hello Games was able to redeem themselves from their deal with the devil they did with Sony because at least their agreement provided them with some autonomy. Arrowhead made an agreement that puts them under Sony's thumb.
Trans people do not want to discuss the fact that they owe their prominence to the fact that they are the perfect patronage clients for the regime because they have completely aliented themselves from the rest of society and have nobody else to be loyal to.
Nobody's gonna talk about the fact that the boy who got punched didn't even close the door? His GF decided she wanted to be bratty towards her Dad, who proceeds to smash him in the face while the GF says nothing about it.

They cut this scene from Dune 2 so the feminists wouldn’t get mad
I wonder how long it's going to take for the UK Government to figure out that if you start over-punishing relatively petty crimes, you create incentives for rebellion while simultaneously leaving no means of escalation of punishment.
I took one look at that and I went "NOPE" due to Sony's history over years of destroying everything they acquire. I really don't enjoy being right in my habitual distrust of Sony and everything they control.

"Nah but you see there's this tiny number of insanely privileged men we can't do anything about, so let's just take all our rage out on the most vulnerable and unfortunate men in need of charity. We're good people, BTW."
Because you've made your place in society "Being the servants of a wicked, corrupt, decadent aristocracy" and then act as though people hate you just for existing rather than the fact you're the public face for the tormentors of the common man.
It's more that HIV killed off most of the members of a certain cohort of the LGBT community who lacked impulse control
So, for a brief period, the LGBT movement consisted of disproportionately high functioning people. Now, it's reverting back to the mean of dysfunctional coomers
People don’t understand the extent to which lesbians and gays in the early gay rights movement fought to keep the fetishists out of the movement, and how necessary that was to gain any legitimacy and success. Fetishists (like the exhibitionists on display here) will take any
I'm increasingly of the suspicion that a lot of "woke" games are just yet another money laundering racket in the entertainment industry.
So everything that's getting promotion for "muh representation" is just "Springtime for Hitler" now.
Hey remember when we put pretty much the entire Western world under house arrest without a crime and then said they would only be allowed out if they participated in unregulated medicine for private profit?
I'm gonna guess you were pretty cool with that.
Rounding up 11 to 15 million means somewhere between 1 of every 25 or 30 people are snatched off the street. That's someone from every neighborhood, every block, every classroom, every workplace. It's a dystopian nightmare worthy of the German Gestapo or Russian NKVD.
Why would we need to murder you?
You're a bunch of sociopaths so addicted to power and control that simply removing you from power will cause you to kill yourselves because you can't go on living if you don't have the ability to make people miserable through abuse of power.
We complain that our neighbour functionally lives in a different legal and economic system where he enjoys a number of privileges we don't, while we're being told we're the privileged ones.
Calls to unity are empty in a society where there's a de-facto racial caste system.
Your car is German. Your pizza is Italian. Your kebab is Turkish. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your movies are American. Your numbers are Arabic, your letters are Latin. And you complain that your neighbor is an immigrant? Pull yourself together! WE ARE ONE
Hell, if there's one thing I learned from Gamergate it's that I ain't the audience any more and that's OK.
The industry found a new bunch of kids who don't know any better to treat as cash cows and now I just play games made by 3 dudes in a basement and it rocks.
Always remember "Human Rights" means "Everyone I like should be able to do whatever they want, to anyone they want and everyone I don't like should just die"
Because "Human Rights" is just a weasel word for "Only people I like count as human".
Wherever the elite are going "How should I fuck with the plebs, today?" you will see trans people showing up, just as stink follows shit.
Anyone with a cognitive capacity greater than cheese has picked up on that pattern and figured out why it's the case.
So I've been finding out the past few days that every Schizo suspicion I've been harbouring about "Teh vidya gaem industree" for the past 15 years or so is not just true, but I was probably lowballing the extent of the issue.
It's the bourgeoise who are dependent on bulk imported coolie labour.
The working class could never afford any of this stuff. We already know how to live without it, because we already do, by necessity.
Only the wealthy, need you. You are servants of the wealthy.
Take away the curries and kebabs.
Take away the Tea. The coffee.
Take away the doctors and nurses.
The Ubers and buses.
Take away the night workers.
Take away the clothes.
Take away the cleaners.
Take it all away.
It's all foreign.

Yes, the gender divergent have always existed throughout society except that in most parts of the historical cycle you're mystics and artists and philosophers. In this part of the historical cycle, you're none of those things, you're just corrupt cops.
Get lost, I still remember your fellow travellers trying to kill people for being correct about basic medical science.
You're only ever sorry that you got caught.
Trump and Biden should do a joint presser in coming days. Unite the country, remind people this is an election not a war, call for civility. Would be politically good for both of them, would be existentially necessary for the country. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
The stablished Anglosphere political norm of "You're in a totalitarian state with no alternatives for political representation or reform but we're also not responsible in any way for the misery resulting from our actions" is a real low point.

The big push of HRT on children reminds me uncomfortably of how tobacco companies used to target children before it got cracked down on in the 1980s and 1990s.
Similar dynamic: Get impressionable young people psychologically addicted to your product.
Simultaneously destroying the lefty meme of "Just call the police, bro" and the righty meme of "Just escape from society and become a recluse on a farm, bro"
This is really the big change coming to the West, particularly America

Since I moved to the country I learned there's a lot of people like that around and they hate and fear urban people to such a degree they intentionally be as cryptic as possible, just dashing into town for supply runs in order to go back to their rural properties.

"But then you'll be just as bad as them!"
There is a world of difference between responding in kind in order to enforce a dynamic of deterrence and taking glee in the suffering of your enemies as an end unto itself.
If you can't comprehend the difference, you're NGMI.
The thing about Dead Internet Theory is that I'm genuinely surprised it's a fringe theory.

This is entirely possible because there is just a general tendency among indigenous Australians to refuse to take the white colonists seriously and treat them as a passing nuisance.
