I know I sound like an absolute classic hipster right now who's bitching about their favourite band going mainstream and acting like it's ruined but I'm really feeling empathetic towards those guys right now. I bring up Ukraine because it was funny how everyone with access to an internet connection suddenly had an opinion on it even though they obviously couldn't point to it on a map much like with Israel-Palestine.
It was this sort of thing that got me pretty red pilled on the commentating crowd because even people who should have known better to shut their mouths and at least do some studying first had to pump out their videos to meet the demands of the stupid keyword algorithms.
Same thing is happening with Fallout now and all of a sudden the fucking hair twirlers are pretending they love Fallout and videos are going to be pumped out left and right talking about how amazing the Fallout games are just because it hit the trending pages. This wouldn't be such a bad thing by itself because it would fade off eventually but now you've got these fuckers who are going to sit there trying to flex to everyone who the biggest Fallout fan is.
You know it's going to happen with Warhammer and the shills will be out in force next right? We've all seen it coming but I feel like the Warhammer bullshit is going to sting particularly hard. These people don't fucking have hobbies so they've got to go and ruin everyone else's and that goes for the people who aren't leftists as well.
Ohhhh fuck no, I don't want to see all the cosplaying noooo it just entered into my head what they're going to do for Halloween :(
And to a good extent, they aren't really wrong.
Most of that stuff will have minimal direct effect on their life. The consequences will come, but not in a way that can be easily noticed if boiled slowly. Even if it does though, their opinion or thoughts on it won't effect it either way. They can be the maverick that doesn't comply with lockdowns, but it won't do anything but make their life harder and accomplish nothing else.
Now, we know that isn't fully true and the fact that everyone thinks that way is how they keep us from knowing our own power, but when you have a lot of other directly in your face problems and stresses in life its not really worth getting super invested in Ukraine or minor politics.
It makes sense how people end up that way, and also why the people who care way too much about this stuff are the ones with no real problems in life.
too true. It's important to prioritize yourself and your immediate surroundings in life for sanity.
