The US has never been a country that's good or fair. It's only very slowly gotten a little better through the sweat and blood of good people.

If we want it to get better it's going to be a lot of difficult and painstaking work.

Again, if you want to conserve capitalism, you’re a liberal to Socialists.

Sooo what you're saying is that Socialists think conservatives are liberals?

So why even bother with a game engine? Write your rending from scratch and it's as free as you want.

But what if we would rather have an engine that's good?

Yeah but then how do you attract game developers to your engine?

It becomes a chicken and egg problem: consoles won't support the engine unless there's a demand for the games, developers won't make the games unless there is support for consoles.

A lot of teens in the US have jobs; I've worked since I was 14. At $10/month that's like 1 fast food meal, and if you use it as your major chat platform that's easily worth it for the convenience it offers you. And teens don't generally have other major bills to pay.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft commit antitrust violations too fast and numerous for the legal systems to keep up.

That and they spy on consumers for the US government so that gives them free passes at a lot of things.

Let me introduce you to "MAGA Communism".

US citizens are moving left, the government is moving right, because right wingers vote and leftists don't.

Not voting: fucking around

Not being represented in government: finding out

We certainly have moved right in as a country in lots of ways, and somehow we're on the verge of lots of people voting in a dictator.

Yeah the people who most consistently vote for the last 50 years are the ones most likely to enjoy a dictator.

If the GOP ia trying to move people right it's is a complete failure though, isn't it? Women's rights are popular, LGBT rights are popular, inclusiveness is popular, religious affiliation is decreasing. Being conservative is uncool and unpopular.

What the GOP succeeds at is undermining democracy so it can seize power with a minority. In fact, undermining democracy is the GOP's only option, precisely because it fails so hard at pulling voters right.

Makes more sense but I assumed you were being sarcastic anyway, which in that context made me lol pretty hard.

No way lesbians are the saddest bitches there are.

I mean, there's also a reason that Marxism-Leninism and Stalinism was historically referred to as "red fascism": Soviet ultra-nationalism, fetishization of violence, authoritarianism. They were very cosy with the Nazis when it came to carving up Poland between them.

Yeah they're internet trolls that picked up the mantle, it's not like they've done the work do deal with their internal issues.

You could actually look and see that it’s firmly condemned.

Yeah but I'm doomer lolling so hard at the "is this brand new or was Russia always queerphobic".

We've been warning about this for years, but they've been way too busy being too edgy and contrarian to notice.

Tankies tend to be hyper-nationalist. The USSR was hyper-nationalist.

Tankies tend to project their own Soviet ultra-nationalism onto Russia and larp like it's the same thing.

You're way too idealistic about what politics is or should be.

The DNC isn't good, or moral, and that's not it's job. It's a business, it only exists to be in power as a representation of the voters.

The voters influence the parties. The DNC shouldn't be trying to pull voters left. Voters need to be pulling the DNC left. If the most progressive candidates keep winning, if the most conservative candidates keep losing, it forces the entire Overton window left.

And that's really the dream, choosing the most progressive of two progressive candidates, not the least regressive of two regressive candidates.

No you're absolutely right, it's too little too late. Voting is just the bare minimum, get involved in your community, find the activists, get moving. It's not over yet, but it's gonna be a hell of a lot of hard work to move forward now.

This is Communism, this is a Communist country!

Ma'am do not threaten me with a good time.

I'm 100% sure I know how this woman votes.

I'm 100% sure she votes, and the people who don't vote are rn wondering why her views are better represented than their views.

This was actually a pretty funny comment and I feel like everyone missed it.

Yeah, we should own those dirty communist propagandists by housing every homeless person.

The commies will be sooo owned if we do that.
