Yeah no, gotta say I think colluding with the reds for almost a century, collapsing the economy four times, selling nuclear weapons to the Chinese, flooding the country with hostile foreigners and legalizing a faggoty mockery of the sacrament of marriage are their biggest wins, not whether people can trade digital macguffins.
You’re reducing this to make it seem absurd, which is very boring of you. When the country becomes Las Vegas is that a win for conservatives? By your argument the slow march was not a big deal either, right?
See of all the people you could have tried that line with, I'm the guy who has a major in ancient history.
The Romans used dice and cards extensively in gaming and recreational gambling dating back to as far as Pliny at least, as well as wagering on sporting events like races and gladiatorial combat.
you think numbing and neuroticizing the populace with a grave addiction from a young age has nothing to do with them being able to do everything else you mentioned?
No I think putting poison in the water, injecting them with chemicals from birth, and aggressively proselytizing sexual degeneracy has far more to do with it.
And I say that as a man with five children so far.
Playing is not a grave addiction. Fun is not a grave addiction. Lack of self control is a moral failure. Much like gun control advocates you're incorrectly conflating the means of something as being the problem itself, when in reality it's a people problem.
Such people would, and do, fall into any hole they can find. The particulars of the hole are irrelevant.

I'm not, your fixation on this miniscule issue is just silly.
Sure, if you just didn't listen to a single word I said anyway.
Yeah gambling was banned by western society for centuries dating back to before and including Rome because its impact is minuscule. Great logic there!
