Newest NPC update released

posted 149 days ago by AntonioOfVenice 149 days ago by AntonioOfVenice +15 / -0

A few weeks ago: "regime change is bad" was updated to "regime change is good". This was a great success, so now new updates are being released.

Now, there is a new update: "must not be infringed" now means "if you're carrying a concealed gun at a protest, you are a domestic terrorist and will be summarily executed after being disarmed and restrained."

Please prepare for your next update, due to be released in a couple of months. In "We oppose Middle Eastern quagmires", strike the word 'oppose' and insert 'support'.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and remember to keep trusting the plan.

Another consideration is the unfortunate reality that the American people are probably too stupid to understand the nuanced reality, so from a PR standpoint digging in one's heels and pretending there was no wrongdoing may have been the correct move.

Well said. Nuanced discussion is impossible unless everyone involved is reasonably intelligent, shares some common values, and is willing to act in good faith. None of those things are remotely true in American politics.

To the extent nuance is used at all in our politics, it's to muddy the waters on issues that should be clear cut.
