If some oligarchs actually had some muzzles pointed their way we’d have gun bans in a day

Some dorks in this thread are the perfect example of who potential protesters need to ignore.

I brought up “truckers blocking highways and important intersections” to my very good (but desperately clueless) friend. Violence free, requires few bodies, historically effective.

He said “but what about the people they inconvenience?”

I’m like dude. Inconvenience to power is. the. point.

I love him but he’s a fool, guy thinks protests are people smiling and holding clever signs.

Sad thing is he’s representative of a lot of people.

They’ll be happy when things are better but idgaf about asking their advice. They don’t read history, the closest theyll get to a protest is the news coverage, and they’ll never be satisfied with less than some impossible dream of a “immaculate conception protestation”

So like, fuck em

It’s about time.

To find the One Piece

Sounds like avocado toast-ian blame-shifting to me. Just like the rest of these pieces, they ignore the obvious, horrible conditions of life, and choose to tut-tut at the abused for ‘improperly’ using their free time.

just like the avocado toast shit, the translation of these pieces is broadly:

Look away, reader, from the terrible low wages, high cost of living, and soul-crushing work hours japanese people are forced to endure. Focus your attention on these 19% of young people, who don’t know any better, who you are better than. Laugh at these losers who admit that one time they almost couldn’t cover their expenses!!

Let’s look at the article.

Interestingly enough, while these results indicate that the popularity of in-game transactions may be increasing, the average amount of money spent on them is actually decreasing.

Hmm, could it be the actual problem is the immense increases to CoL young (and all) people have been under? I wonder why the article doesn’t even bring it up? So curious 🤔

Oh well. So like, how much money are we talking about on gacha? How much are these 19% of young folks spending? Must be a ton eh?

Article doesn’t say, but we do get these numbers

In 2024, young people spent an average of around 5,138 yen ($35.85 USD) on microtransactions per month while this year’s survey results state that the average amount of money spent on microtransactions is 4,247 yen ($29.63 USD) per month.

So it’s not a lot, not really. I say again, this article is slop created to take your eyes away from the real problems of the world and victim blame the ones suffering under them.

Well, no you’re not really an ally yet, far as i can tell. Fix your head. “Trannies” sheesh son

Edit for the thread: probably best to just block this cat, they’re clearly enjoying themselves

Can we please put a pause on the focus on social inclusion, and focus on defeating the fascists trying to own the world?

One does not preclude the other. There is energy for both inclusion and revolution.

In fact, revolution is inclusion, is mutual-aid, etc. It’s a requirement. For every person “fighting” there are 10 more people supporting the people and the community that fascism and its shrinking safety nets leave behind

The song of the guitar in my ass

🧢 ?

Eh, the argument was never civil. I don’t like the whole schtick of “showing immense disrespect buuut not actually name-calling” i see so many lowbrow edgelords employ. That sulky teen shit makes me maldy as all get out. I get there’s gotta be lines somewhere an i crossed em, but i gots to call a spade by its name.

Anyway have a great morning

You’re my favorite commenter!

It ain’t an mmo, and it never should have been built like this.

It kind of was and it was intended to work as it did by the company that made it.

Adults don’t dance around semantics in debate when they’re called out. I told you to stand up and this is your response? Mebbe you’re not even hidin! Maybe it’s the only way you can talk?

I guess you disagree, but I find your speech pattern embarrassing and tiring.

Be better eh? For me

It was deliberate choice by them to make even the single player campaign online homie. It ain’t an mmo, and it never should have been built like this.

Don’t even play like that wasnt fucked up, ok? If your actual argument is “i think companies should get to do what they want” them say that, with your whole chest, not this Weak socratic-method-bootlick-bull…

Take that stand and defend it. Or you could also stfu

I get your point but DN4 was also a joke after release. Which may also be your point lol

I’m here to kick ass and chew 5gum…

take’s

yo what is that apostrophe even up to? Did the S look lonely? lol

I dunno if everyone knew lol, buut all joking aside? I agree with you. it’s only a grift/scam if one doesn’t feel good about the money and time spent. Also anyone throwing $$ in nowadays better be doing it with open eyes like yours or they’re fools

I hate Nintendo exclusives because i hate Nintendos hardware. I do love their software, so i emulate it.

I get why they need exclusives, if they want to keep making consoles instead of turning into SEGA they need to give peeps a reason to buy their console, which since the wii (?) has had a deliberate focus on less powerful hardware. If they didn’t have those N exclusives those games would look better on their competitor’s systems.

Like i said, i love their games, can’t stress that enough. I hate, hate, HATE their hardware tho. I’ve refused to buy Nintendo stuff since i felt burned by n64s crap analog sticks (i hold a mean grudge haha) and the only way Nintendo would get my hard fought-stretched-to-hell $ is if they sold pc copies of their games.

I wish they’d consider doing that (after a few years of exclusivity even, i’m a patientgamer) but i don’t think they ever will :(

They’re hoarding all the wealth and are a rich source of vitamins and minerals
