This should be tied to my account name: “Keeping people divided, benefits the powerful.” Ever since I witnessed both US-based and foreign-based Twitter bots spamming the feeds with pictures of non-white people either: Being happy and stable, engaged in “crime waves”, wearing threatening clothes or posing, hell, even…
Class does play a role a bit; it’s just racial and sex discrimination helped establish the recognized US caste system from way back when there really wasn’t one at the time as the US government was still in its infancy. A lot of wealth-based legacies are quite ugly to look at if you have empathy and the curiosity.…
True! The console wars never made sense to me as a kid. I knew what I liked, and would get the console that had the game of interest.
You’re right, that was exaggerated on my part. After the stratification of the white European immigrants(after enduring their share of discrimination)and them realizing they could move up in the world as “true protestant Anglo Saxons” Americans over the generations, they would need a “fall guy” of communities to step…
The US is more notable with it I’d argue - became more or less established through the spread of Manifest Destiny(Kind of similar to how Israel was founded). Even though I mentioned Western discrimination, the US’s blueprint seemed to go hard to what later inspired Adolf Hitler, while at the same time, hiding their…
The fact that racism is in institutions today and under protection via the convenience of the powerful says of the intention. The fact that racism, hate crimes, and any other anti-discrimination laws aren’t pursued with nobility and integrity in mind against and enforced also says of the intention. Racism and…
Keeping the masses divided benefits ALL of the power-hungry industries and institutions. It’s been part of US culture since the 1800s. Foreign agents don’t need to do the job for them.
Reminder that big companies don’t care about you as a worker/labor of any kind unless you’re part of the executive class, drinking $500 wine among your fellow shills. If you have the “dream” of moving up in the world as a low-class worker when it’s been expressed time and time again that connections are valued more…
A sense of entitlement is all it takes for one to stop thinking for others’ well being. Unless, of course, it affects the corporate executives.
It’s like there is a war on creative people - for tax write offs.
Are you familiar with rainbow capitalism? Basically, the pandering is mostly a PR move and those who run the show generally don’t care for anyone LGBTQ+, and are usually quick to remove work policies and messages that benefit them the moment the “hype” dies down. OW, however seems to have made its own identity around…
It’s fairly obvious of this being a PR move. Corporations have to follow the latest social trends or narratives to continuously profit from. As much as representation matters, this is Acti-Bliz we’re talking about. So yes, it is quite smelly with insincerity, especially when it comes to this game.
Dr. Phil is just another sociopathic con-artist that actually knows how to not “fall upwards”.
If anything, assholes are the desired executive/CEO. Having empathy often gets in the way of making absurd amounts of money that you no longer actually need, so it’s likely why so many sociopaths and psychopaths are in these positions of power - not only is is systemically intentional, but self-motivational too. Kind…
I’m glad this remake is being well-received. I respect Tri-ace, they release some pretty fun RPGs. However, after the disappointment that was Valkyrie Elysium(and how they were screwed over on its development), and the mediocre-but-still-fun Star Ocean The Divine Force, I feared that Square would pull the plug on…
Considering your average state rep in Congress don’t actually read the bills but support them anyways just for the idea of it is a more alarming message of the sheer apathy the US government constantly exhibits.
Jesus, how insulated do you have to be as “The Leader of the Free World” to be this apathetic of the general public’s concerns over corporate take overs or free-reign genocides in other countries, only reacting to media tropes and their societal messages?
I dunno. Ever since the pandemic’s peak, the larger companies have been showing a greater disdain towards the workforce as a whole. The AAA game industry is especially bad, and companies are showing more incentive to get rid of talented, respected people that have dignity and may look the executive class look bad. The…
To be clear: I don’t really care for Kojima’s antics. He’s creative and surprisingly decent at conveying societal messages, but he’s also arrogant and has a questionable view towards women, characterizing them and level of respect towards their agency. He appears obsessive, if not predatory when it comes to…
Yep. Being honest is more rewarding than you realize if you have the character, growth, and self-honesty.. Some old youtuber(forgot the name)owned up to masturbating while forgetting his stream was still on and joked about it, Guillermo Del Toro owned up to his very apparent foot fetish and played along with the…
