Actually - I'd take this article with a grain of salt. Though I'm still not convinced that VPNs are as secure as claimed.

MintPress News (MPN) is an American far-left[1] news website. It was founded and edited by Mnar Adley and was launched in January 2012,[2] and also publishes the MintCast podcast. The site covers political, economic, foreign affairs and environmental issues.
MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria.[3][4] It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia,[5] and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective.[6] In one contentious article, MintPress News asserted that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was perpetrated by rebel groups rather than by the Syrian government, a claim pushed by the Russian and Syrian governments and rejected by much of the international community.[4]
MintPress News was a major media domain that spread disinformation about the White Helmets, a Syrian volunteer organization.[7] The site has been accused of regularly publishing pro-Russian propaganda,[8] and has been described as a conspiratorial website by media studies and disinformation scholars.[9][10]

And Jeremy with the grift!
That was painful to watch.
Continues to rail on Christianity but wants to learn all about Islam and what a great religion it is.
Barf.
DDayCobra had the top comment (18k - DDay just commented on his comment being shadowbanned) that said “don’t ever apologize to the mob.” - it appears to have been deleted.
I’m wondering if the authors wrapped their “colonization” message (indeed that’s what their conclusion is) in DIE language to get it approved as they found:
Democracy, the rule of law and the protection of property rights distinguish those systems from “extractive” arrangements where a small ruling class owns most resources and wealth.
Gee - that sounds like capitalism to me!
Idiocracy said it first.
Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and faggy to them.
All paid leftist actors, mostly single and gay.
The Wikipedia article for the game confirms it. Seems like they know that woke doesn’t sell so they’re going back to “hiding” it.

Developer Tom Francis was previously a game journalist.
The protagonist, Jen, was designed to be an ex-cop. The George Floyd protests in 2020 caused Francis to consider whether it was a good idea to have an ex-cop leading SWAT-style raids. He tried rewriting Jen's background to incorporate commentary on police violence, but feedback from friends convinced him it was a bad idea. The topic was too big to tackle in a character's background, and his efforts were tonally off from the dry, comedic take on everything else. Instead, Francis made Jen a private investigator.[6]
GameSpot said the deconstruction of Tom Clancy-style thrillers made the campaign "a joy",[9] and The Guardian praised its ability to turn its silly premise into a "a genuinely intriguing espionage thriller" while avoiding that genre's questionable ethics.[12] GameSpot felt the game as a whole was "both funny and endearing", featuring a self-awareness that they said was earned.[9]
Good Lord - she's been in that office since 1991 with a perfectly unremarkable record just living off the taxpayer.
I posit that if the character had been asian or white (same thing, I know) that they would NOT have put the bowing into the game because that would've been offensive and punching down.
I posit the ONLY reason they put it in the game was specifically because the character was black. Regardless of historical precedent.
I saw this earlier and it reminded me of something but I couldn’t remember what…
Just did.. it reminds me of that scene in Tropic Thunder where Tom Cruise’Les Grossman starts playing hip hop and raps to Matthew McConaughay’ Rick Peck - except that was meant to be satire…
