I used to play this game so much as a kid. That’s pretty fucking sweet, I might check it out

They still make them, it’s just that they aren’t super mainstream anymore and most people who grew up with them grew out of that type of humour, and the nostalgia is what’s hitting them for those movies.

Seth Rogen still makes them, the guys from workaholics made one not too long ago, there’s some other good fringe ones I’ve seen.

What irritates me is that I know whatever Ben Shapiro said on his show every week because the exact same words come out of people I know’s mouths that week. It’s such low effort, easily identified propaganda. I don’t understand why it works so well. Like I don’t get it at all.

The radicalization towards the right is what disturbs me the most. I am a blue collar working class person from a small town in a very conservative province, and I don’t understand at all how everything that’s happened has not radicalized people overwhelmingly towards left wing economics.

I blame most of it on culture war bullshit honestly, but a large part of me is just disappointed in how overwhelmingly stupid and easily manipulated a lot of my friends and family seem to be. The writing is on the wall as far as I can tell. I read a lot of books on economics and history and politics, and I don’t expect everyone to do that, but even before I got into reading about that shit I could tell that something was very wrong with how right wing pundits pushed their shit. It irritates me to no end having to explain these things in person to people I otherwise respect, see them talk about it and internalize it, and then two days later see them devolve right back into the same right wing propagandized mentality. Idk man, it’s disheartening.

Yeah I mean, I know why.

But it should be obvious to people when they see stuff like this and the heritage fund and other similar groups that it’s obvious propaganda efforts from the elites, and you think that alone would push people left.

But often times it doesn’t. And I don’t know how to fix that.

When I first learned about the IDU I was pretty horrified. Why are there all these big money right wing groups dedicated to pushing the world to be more right wing and zero left wing counterparts for it?

Yeah but it wasn’t as gamey, as, say, a game

which is what I thought I bought when I got it

Yeah I got through like 20 minutes of that game before I realized it was a light novel and this wasn’t some kind of annoyingly long and convoluted tutorial.

Man whatever weird psyop you’re trying to pull isn’t working here.

Either way I just don’t think you’re worth talking to, because trans or not, you’re behaving like a huge asshole.

You just called me a terf, which I’m not, for absolutely no reason. So whereas I didn’t actually care before, I’m inclined to believe them now. None of the trans people I know throw around the term “terf” like that at literally anyone.

You underestimate how much the US values their genocide army base

I don’t get into arguments about culture war bullshit anyway. Thanks for the heads up tho.

Yeah hiking is okay. But I like to exercise. People who like to exercise are in a huge minority.

I haven’t seen a lot of transphobia here.

The genocide rationalization is an issue I’ve noticed.

No, it doesn’t. But there’s something ridiculous about a Hollywood exec looking at hot women in a show and then saying there’s no sex appeal.

lol seriously. He has shown in a very stark way that the rich are above the law in the US. You can literally try to overthrow the government and then threaten and slander judges and their families and still not go to prison if you’re rich.

You would assume that slandering a judges daughter while he was presiding over your case would land you in jail quickly.

I’m sure if I, a poor, did it, it sure would.

Honestly I haven’t really seen much key and peele, but I assume that was a key and peele joke and I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s hilarious.

Yeah honestly the people at Lemmy are mostly great.

I think the difference is that the people on Lemmy seem in general to be smarter than other places, generally people actually seem to want to discuss rather than argue.

Not that there aren’t dumb assholes on Lemmy. I mean, I’m here.
