Everything involving people is politics.

Just to list one difference in the latter you have a democratically-elected government fighting off an invasion by an autocratic tyrant while in the former you have the intricacies of RUSSIA being divided between the dictatorship (and deeply antisemitic) organized crime families-controlling Russia and the …

“Killing civilians is bad” is a moral stance, not a political one, tovarish.

whoosh

US is bombing Yemen and Somalia (to name a couple) RIGHT NOW. 

This guy really thinks the US government is really pretty alright 

idk what the best response to whataboutism is, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t *defending the war on terror*.

It takes a truly weak white person to look at a thoughtful piece like this and call it “outrage journalism.” Check yourself for outlandish overreaction before you start accusing everyone else of it.

How is thoughtful critique “eating” anyone? I’m a white person, and goddamn are we embarassingly thin-skinned. If any of y’all whining in the comments could muster half the thoughtfulness that this post required, maybe an interesting discussion could happen. But it never will because you’re so inordinately upset by…

Well the mistake here is that liberals are not leftists and rich white people are not particularly good at standing in solidarity with marginalized populations.

If it’s ripping off a regular amount of money, it’s shitty. If it’s ripping off 3.5 million, there’s no such thing as a person who spent that kind of money on Pokemon cards who doesn’t deserve to be ripped off.

Yeah, it’s the whole “active douchebaggery” angle that really just twists the knife in this situation.

You could have played it on your phone’s browser you giant ass.

“Industry shill stops short of criticizing his source of wealth.”

Geoff charges publishers like Activision-Blizzard hundreds of thousands of dollars to air their trailers on the game awards. And that’s only for the right to air the thing. That doesn’t get into sponsoring parts of the show, having segments on stage etc.
