You seem confused about how analogies work.

Oh... there are a lot of differences between the two cases. That is how analogies work. I sought only to illustrate the common threads of populism and nihilism.

...instead of the politicians that lie, cheat, steal and vote in corporations favor...

Sounds a little like the sentiments I heard from the very few Trump supporters in my circles. They were so tired of being passive-aggressively fucked by the status quo that some dark part of them was willing to buy in to impossible/incoherent promises (remember when people could buy homes and support a family on a…

There is a rough tension between “we want more and better representation in media” and “but, it isn’t meant for most of the US population’s consumption”.

Bad guys. They may be trash... but... daaaaaaaamn.

Assuming you mean by copter(s) it is probably prohibitively expensive or the properties that make them useful in a wind turbine also makes them damn difficult to fly around on the end of a chain (wind!).

Holy crap.

I think this issue was addressed at the material level years ago.

I saw federal buildings broken in to and on at least one occasion occupied by protesters this year in Portland and felt essentially the same about those situations. Those that crossed the line, engaging in violence, were the problem. The vast majority of the rest, as virtually all the News coverage confirmed (both…

Your gender doesn’t have any meaningful impact on the special cocktail of hormones your body is naturally producing all through your development.... which, for better or worse, correlates strongly with particular behavioral trends across the population.

I think our society continues to affirm the fact that real people are both likeable and unlikeable, virtually without exception, and that audiences simply aren’t comfortable with that fact.

I mean... it’s understandable, to some extent... I am often watching a movie or playing a videogame to escape a variety of…

The obvious counter to your point, assuming your assertions are true, is that you may have provided the best excuse not to dwell especially on that side of the picture in a narrative. The kids lack the ability to actually grok it and it’s so obvious to the adults as to be anodyne. Who is that side of the picture…

Your real life is real at 17, no matter how you may patronise those experiences as an adult. To condemn that reality is to lie to yourself. Sure, you know that things that felt like they would destroy you are barely remembered 20 years later, but what about 20 years from now? Are all your present experiences…

CDPR doesn’t care about you dude, you gain nothing by defending them.
