That’s the good shit.
When reading the post I thought it’s one of those “We got the tapes/videos/mails, but won’t upload them, but we got them and they are important, believe us” things.

It certainly doesn’t. It’s just that alt rtght absolutely abuses good will and rules to the extreme and systematically hijacks certain phrases.

See Elon Musk’s Twitter as a light example (giving in to authoritarian censorship, and skewing content visibility, while constantly touting himself a “Free speech absolutist”), or the_donald from Reddit, which was mostly made of bots, conspiracy theorists and some sane, but malicious people, banning anyone who’s even slightly misaligned.

Some people like the previous commenter are then incorrectly shortcutting hijacked slogans to the alt right. Which was their goal to start with - increasing the friction, uncertainty and division.

To elaborate about free speech we want to mantain sensible environment. So we need to give a boot to astroturfing bots and far, far right neonazis. Though as with most things, moderation is the key.

I’d say 70% if I had to guess (not a real stat) as someone watching outside of the US.

Dems, although not being neonazi bigots still have a lot of scum inside. For example undermining recent Right to Repair. Getting bought out by tech companies, especially ISPs locally. And let’s not forget about them siding with railroad companies during strike.

Living in Europe I completely don’t share that sentiment.

Cars should be used only when necessary and actually save significant proportion of time, otherwise cities become inhospitable hellholes and everyone loses (including cars now stuck in traffic).

But then again, I don’t forget things too often, and in other post I saw you said that you regularly need to make a 3 part jurney. This would be a good situation to get a car.

“How dare they use our abandoned slaves? Slave should stay forever loyal to their master no matter how we mistreat it. They are our property, we have all rights to their use, skills and knowledge.”

If this goes anywhere, Confederacy actually won the long game.

Some people do find that important tho. I think that it was worth given the cost. It barely impacted the final product (would be just as buggy on release as it was).

In games fluff like that is a few days of work of a single person. While in movies casting diverse instead of professional/adequate for the role changes everything.

Additionally in movies screen time is limited, so spending time on forced inclusivity usually takes away from plot.

Probably far less than it is. Number sheets coming from any non easily verifiable, complicated reporting made in China are an estimate in the favor of the reporter. Cheating one another and especially the system is a national sport.

And US for profit shithole prison camps are 5 star hotels compared to Russian ones. Let’s just say that a good proportion of Russian prisoners have HIV. At the same time they don’t ask nicely when they forcefully pass it around.
