Who said steam was a bastion of right wing content. As long as a platform enforces it’s rules equally to everyone it should not matter.
Your right it’s not money spent on kith and kin. It’s money spent for the enjoyment of the buyer, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
So you are supporting globalism by using whatever device you are on since most of the raw materials were mined and probably are only found in a country different than your own?
There is nothing wrong with buying foreign made goods. The issue is when big businesses and government pass laws in favor of multi national corporations that stamp out the local businesses. Can you point to the small time dev that is getting unfairly treated by their government because this guy gets special treatment?
By your logic the spice trade or buying bananas or coffee is globalism despite the fact most countries physically can not support those industries. But because they sell internationally they must be globalist.
Trading bananas and coffee is globalism. Most countries cannot support them and they shouldn't be mass importing them so every super market in the world has the same selection of same international items. Support local, grow local and eat local. Don't kill a sheep in New Zealand then send it to five different countries who already raise their own lambs.
Why should people who do not reside in areas where bananas and coffee grow not be able to purchase them and eat them. Why should farms that grow them be denied selling them to people who want them. You can eat both local crops and imported ones. I’m sure there aren’t that many people who live in temperate climates that exist solely off a diet of bananas. Good luck only living off of things only grown or manufactured in your home town.
You're promoting globalism. You want all the perks of it and then bitch about the downsides. Why should local farmers compete with the entire planet to sell goods at unsustainable prices? Why should a country not be full of third world immigrants because it's the only way to keep prices so low international super markets don't drive you bankrupt demanding third world costs on first world goods.
Shall I continue or are you going to tell me how great Netflix is?
Wtf are you talking about. Farmers who don’t sell bananas don’t compete with those that do. Me buying a banana does not prevent me from buying corn from the farmer down the road. Me being fine with global trade is not = to promoting importing third world immigrants. You can have both and we had it until fairly recently.
You have clearly never spoken to a farmer. The US government subsidizes them more to grow corn for ethanol than what they would make if they sold it for food. Corn, soybeans, and other crops would actually be cheaper when produced for food to be sold for the local populace if they were not being encouraged to sell their products to biofuel companies instead, and could actually grow enough where the US is a top Global exporter of many different crops. and still be able to sell them at a low price in country. The world should stop depending on China for manufacturing, but being anti buying foods that can’t grow natively in your area is fucking stupid.
You sound like a crazy demented person, “this was a nice country until that damn super market started selling bananas, pineapples and Star fruits, first it’s the foreign foods, then come the foreigners.”
No one has mentioned anything about Netflix, but be careful if you watch it. You might accidentally watch something filmed in Toronto and when you wake up the next morning 12 of those syrup chugging monsters will be playing hockey in you backyard.
