also anyone whose worked in customer service (i did in college, I worked a lot of shit jobs and it was the worst) will tell you 95% of the tickets have fuckall to do with the service and are billing or technical issue related. it's not discourse. this is pure bourgeoisie wankery of the highest order

The argument is that games take so long that they're a poor medium for satire, but this is a narrow view. You can't skewer Florida without touching on the fundamentals that led to Trump. Wolfenstein 2 was written before Trump, but it was about those fundamentals, so it was ready for him.

If you enjoy playing video games in the US you should be paying attention to this and contacting your reps if you're into that sort of thing or like personal rights or whatever.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

It's obviously infuriating when this happens but I take a little issue with the "literacy crisis" framing of this topic because I kind of believe at most points in history, people were a bunch of dipshits who wouldn't change their mind. We're just exposed to more of them now.
