Screw the "the rest of the dev team is fine" or "you are punishing the rest of the dev team".

Nah. We want the rest of the dev team to be hostile and blame this dude. However.. pretty sure half if not most of the dev team has the same view or complicit in the same view. Sorry for the few maga devs on that team.. guess shouldve either said something or join a non woke ass dev team.

You can't join the industry in these big AAA companies if you are not in the far left. They couldn't care less about merit, only politics, and it shows.

"punishing" also seems to indicate that I owe them a purchase. I don't. They have to convince me to buy their game - and if one of your public spokesmen shouts that kind of shit, then yeah sorry. Not going to happen.

I'm punishing the company.

If I can't do that because there is no competition and it will "hurt employees" then we have a much bigger problem.

If we have to fire a few game developers to get things to change why on earth would anyone give a flying fuck?

How do you live your life being wrong about everything and still think you're one of the good guys?

All I have to do is not buy the game and encourage others to also not buy it. And if questioned why, point to his rhetoric.

Gated communities, both physical and digital. Only under exposure to reality are these views ever countered and none of the ones involved are ever humble enough to admit they were wrong so they double down and reinforce the walls to keep out reality.

I mean, easily. If you're that wrong about everything, but keep being that wrong, you obviously have issues, and/or are brainwashed. Of course you think you're one of the Good Guys.

At some point Hansen really needs to learn to stop looking like an evil caricature whenever a camera is pointed at him.

Considering the corrupt, Neocon, APIAC-funded Cabinet picks Trump is pulling out of his ass ... yeah, I'm feeling the shame already, pal.

Seriously, abandon all expectations you have about this second term. You WILL be disappointed. The Treasury Sec. is literally a George Soros protege. The AG is known for taking bribes to drop investigations. The guy in charge of Agriculture sold half his State to Bill Gates to grow GMOs.

We all got played by Trump. Don't expect a damn thing from this admin. He ran for his own ego by selling off these cabinet posts to the most corrupt people on Team Red. That's why the Establishment let him win again; he pre-sold his administration to the Deep State.

You WILL be disappointed.

And anyone sane should have known they'd be "disappointed" long before you even voted. People put Trump up on a pedestal, and then act surprised when he's not actually the God Emperor of Mankind. Trump was never perfect, but is still the best we've had in decades, and now we get him back. Am I disappointed by some of his decisions? Yes. Do I regret my vote? Not for a fucking second.

Chill out, people.

I'm still just glad we aren't dealing with President Elect Kamala "Kackles" Harris.

Trump won. Stop dooming. He'll fix some things, but he's not going to magically fix everything and, yes, he'll even make some things worse...but he's still miles better than the alternative. Just like Trump himself, we all dodged a bullet, bigly.

Looking back, I think it was a good thing that he got cheated in '20. It showed millions of Americans that presidents are installed, not elected ... including Trump. The people who are really in control got a good measure of the social sentiment and understood in no uncertain terms that it would not go over well if they imposed another Dem regime on the public. Look how quickly the MSM turned on Biden and then Kamala?

They let Trump have this one, but on the condition that "their" people hold all the controls. Look at JD Vance -- he was a nobody two years ago, then straight to Congress, then straight to the White House before his first term is over? That's the same trajectory Obama had. And like Obama, JD is a member of the Harvard/ Yale club. Those guys don't play for "second best" to be anyone's "sidekick."

JD will betray Trump soon enough to steal the throne, if he isn't already calling the shots. Everyone from the Bush admin., including Rumsfeld and Rove, has admitted that Cheney was the real POTUS. This will be no different.

I do. I phrased it the way I did because if Trump did nothing of value he was still better than the alternative because of how bad they were.

This mentality is why things never change. Trump's on his second term so it doesn't matter for him specifically anymore, but you have to be willing to withold support from these people if they won't do what you want no matter how much they brow beat about "lesser of two evils."

This election was my last hurrah with "lesser of two evils" politics. I figure a second Trump term is the perfect line in the sand on that.

permalink parent save report block reply

– Adamrises 6 points 1 year ago +6 / -0

I don't believe things can change because the necessity to reach the changes I want require dismantling of far more of society and culture than we can get through a government, especially an elected one. Women will never vote to give up their right to vote, blacks will never get deported or genocided, and we will never get a mass Rope Day for all the Leftists/Israel Dual Citizens in Congress and across the Nation. My politics will never be actually represented by a single person running.

If the revolution starts, I'll be there. I've even spent a long time sowing seeds for it. But we are nowhere near close to enough people joining to make it any more than suicidal and worthless. As such, the lesser of two is simply prolonging the relative stability of daily living until the conditions are prepared for such a day.

I'll still act the same and withhold or give support as per needed. This isn't absolving of action, its a mentality to maintain my own mind from becoming obsessed with politics that I lose the forest for the trees. If Trump fails, I won't have a Nick Fuentes level meltdown about how he is the worst shit in existence and no one should vote for him because that's counter productive in all forms.

There's still a chance you can extract concessions - real ones, not just cathartic electoral victories - if you play your cards right, and even failed attempts to do that can lurch toward progress by demystifying politics.

I said nothing to the contrary. I was giving a flippant and dumb answer to a low effort troll, and minimizing my beliefs into the most barebones form to your low effort gotcha question.

But in the end, he is still better than the alternative today no matter what else happens.

Bees don't bother telling flies that honey is better than shit

Your analogy is retarded and wrong on multiple levels.

Some bees feed on nectar, they don't feed on honey; that's something they make as a storage medium for both later consumption and to feed the young in a nest. We cultivate honey by supplying bees with so much excess sugar, in quantities they would never find in the wild, they store it non stop under a pretense it will be used to feed the hive later.

Some flies are coprophagous and consume shit, many others are just like bees and feed on nectar providing pollination as bees do. Male moquitoes for example feed on nectar, the females feed on blood. As such the male mosquitoes serve as pollinators to whatever flowers they feed on.

tl;dr you have no idea what you are talking about and are trying to leverage emotional responses by evoking visceral responses to the concept of [eating] shit.

Elon's gaming company can't come soon enough.

Hopefully all the honest, passionate, and creative developers that jackoffs like this are alienating and ostracizing can follow suit and start their own MAGA or at least apolitical gaming companies.

I don't like seeing how this deeply captured industry is seemingly doubling down on its predatory, hateful bullshit in spite of the big political and cultural win we had on November 5. However, seeing the tide turn against this woke, regressive ideology gives me hope that something better is around the corner.

This is awesome. Please keep doing this. More mastectomy scars and penis size customizations, more preachy girlboss faction leaders, more focus on gender studies and the evils of capitalism in fantasy settings, more nonsensical dialogue because you were focused on the character customizations. Watching these morons light cash on fire then throw temper tantrums and blame "incels" is more entertaining than any game in current year could be.
