ALL politics ARE Identity Politics, dude.

hey, dude? your enlightened centrism is showing.

> But every country has done that at some point

Look dude, I get it: you like your current place in the current status quo. Change is scary, I get that.

Yeah... no.

I’ve written a few pieces here:

That’s a politicla statement with political consequences, requiring political deliberation. “Politics” doesn’t mean “Democrats v GOP”.

You can treat people justly and equitably under any system of commerce and governance. The fix is to apply common-sense restrictions, not the weird-ass patchwork of pork barrel quid pro quo the yanks have going on.

... I think you missed the point.

Damn straight.

Look, dude: fixing the status quo doesn’t have to be a red vs blue thing. It’s not rah-rah Marx and you going rah-rah Rand. It’s about fixing the systemic issues that are effecting our towns, our counties, our countries. I don’t give a shit about labels - I give a shit about what the effects are. This isn’t political:…

Son, children forced at gunpoint mined the rare-earth metals used in your phone. To recap:

The status quo is killing people, destroying the environment, literally profiting from illness, and is racist to the core.

Men are afraid women will laugh at them.

Bad news: Google’s YouTube division is pushing YouTube Music in an attempt to kill Google Play Music. Hands down, Play is the best digital streaming music platform.

“modding games is wrong becausd it ruons the effect the game designers intended! How dare people have fun with games made for doversionary pleasure!"

It comes down to values. We “got better” because we value justice, equity, and cohesion. They continue to hurt people because they value Authority, Rigidity, and Blood.

Man, remember the time EA released a shitty God of War clone, AND a shitty Gears clone in the same year? Said Gears clone could barely be played for ten minutes without crashing, regardless of platform? Good God, EA makes shitty games.

Wow. Everything you just said is wrong.

I rent a full fledged honest-to-God server. Amazing stuff - currently just hosting a fee instances of TF2, but the sheer power and possibilities...
