You are describing a center right person. Those countries are also center right. Socialism means the workers owning the means of production, and thats not the case anywhere 

There’s nothing in socialism that has to do with not being rich or not having a nice car or not having a nice house

None of the things you mention, like a nice car or a nice house, are jnherently incompatible with socialism, so you don't actually have an argument here 

No? Socialism has one specific creed. That the means of production should be owned by the people. It doesn’t have anything to say about any of this, not inherently

You see the contradiction in your own statement right? You have to!

Apparently for some people you arent a real leftist unless you live in a commune I suppose.

I dunno, I'm pretty sure most dojinshi doesn't violate anything. The major crackdown seems to be on using scenes or panels from the actual manga or anime

Indeed. People don’t realise how right wing isolasonist japan is. I mean we are talking about the country that doesn’t recognise its ww2 war crimes and celebrates war criminals to this day as heroes and great generals

Meh. While money does play a role, discounting the power normal people have if they actively collectively demand something is foolish.

You do realise how what you describe is bad tho right? Corporate hegemony and lack of competition and legal oversight are bad things.

Yea definitely. As I said newer better design exist, but the old ones are still there and similar ones are still being made (albeit less of em) 

Our subscribers are able to sell these rapidly so they filter back into circulation quickly for gamers to use, the fact that average marketplace cost of consoles is increasing doesn’t stop people purchasing.” So there you have it: console prices will likely remain high because people can’t stop buying from scalpers.

People buying consoles are consumers in this context. Get your head out of your ass

Yea exactly. I worked in a small firm that sells frozen goods. We bought frozen goods from wholesalers, stored em, and sold em to shops who had very little demand/capital/space to afford the minimums wholesalers require.

I mean.... Not really? Labour added value is totally a thing. Being able to buy a single console from a retail store near you and either walk away with it or have it shipped to your home in a few days instead of having to buy 100 and wait 6 months for them to arrive from China is the value added by retailers and the…

Wow this is.... Irrelevant. Pure Linux and mac gamers are the four leaf clovers of the gaming community

I dont see an issue with this. They gotta stay in buisiness somehow. And they still allow you to give most of the money to charity so it’s not like that’s changed. They just don’t allow you to give ALL of the money to charity. Just MOST and keep some for development and operational costs 

OK? Even if what you say accurately reflects the situation where you live, what the fuck does it have to do with anything discussed here? 

Oh hey you left a lengthy comment under criticism of a game you like

Ofc they do. The kind of rules that allow em to bust into the wrong house without warning and shoot you when you try to defend yourself from the strange men invading your house
