This Great American State Fair shit embodies the kind of fanatical religiosity, nationalism, and xenophobia you'd see in Bioshock Infinite, except this is real life 😬

The idea that you're going to "compete with China" by allowing giant corporations to pillage and destroy communities all across the US is an amazing leap of illogic that only makes sense to capitalists.

Uh, what is this weird flag discourse and where did it come from? Feels very PatSoc op-like.

Seeing random references to JFK’s quote about violent revolution in threads about Sony getting rid of physical games is wild. It’s like even the normiest of normies understands that this society is fundamentally broken on every level.

AOC endorsed Joe Biden, too. When he was supporting a genocide.

What happens when the bread runs out and nobody can afford the circuses anymore? 🤔

In a few years, this will just be considered a normal summer. It’s only going to get worse if we refuse to take climate change seriously.

Higher education should not be treated like a business. The problem with universities in the US is that you have a bunch of capitalists running these institutions, trying to cultivate the next generation of the ruling class. There’s very little actual learning that happens in college.

When even the financial press is admitting that any economic gains are only going to the top...

Meanwhile...

Obviously! As an aside, what do you think Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix are doing right now with memory prices? 🤔

The corporation with all the money in the world with capital expenditures of $190 billion going mostly toward AI bullshit refuses to keep its own studios alive. Makes me so angry. Microslop shouldn't have bought them in the first place!

Every game has the potential to become PT now. Lost forever, unless you downloaded it before it was delisted.

I fucking hate this shit so much.

Much like how serial killers go to jail, while the most prominent DemSoc on the national stage has been complicit in supporting literal genocide and Jacobin still writes fluff pieces about them.

It's deeply ironic that Sony announced the most anti-consumer move in history to preserve their monopoly on digital PS sales, while not realizing they just surrendered one of their key advantages over Steam. If they thought they were losing market share to PC before, they haven't seen anything yet.

Gas plants for US data centers to be major source of climate change-linked emissions, report says reut.rs/4xZUWzO

Nice!

Look, this shouldn’t have happened, but McKinsey shouldn’t have been allowed to fix the prices of bread in Canada when Mayo Pete was working for them either.

Every generic, open world sandbox RPG that prioritizes the individual experience over a shared narrative where most people chose to actualize their subconscious fantasy of acting as a colonizing force through the archetypal journey of the Western hero, or being a sadist that destroys the world.

Another year, another ocean surface temperature record broken…

Politicians are so fake and performative that an AI could easily replace them. All it has to do is regurgitate the same talking points over and over with absolutely no self-awareness and a cult of supporters will develop around it and rally to its defense.

This country is so fucked.

The idea that vulnerable people are taking the spots "earned" by the privileged is right wing bullshit. Also, why do you need to be an athlete in order to go to college? And why is going to college necessary to survive in this society? It's the result of choices that those in power have made.

Seeing people promote electoralism as the primary means to achieving socialism, is akin to having someone say, "All we need to do to change society is participate in the Hunger Games and win!" 🤪

I see that Sony decided to roll out all of their anti-consumer announcements today 😒

You will own nothing and be happy. Every AI-focused corporation is making hardware unaffordable, so that they can sell you computing as a service that endless extracts money from you.

People in the US are so beaten down and propagandized that they'll endlessly defend corrupt politicians, monopolistic corporations, broken institutions, and an exploitative capitalist system that couldn't care less if we all died. The population has completely internalized its own oppression.

Fuck that. If this is the "future" of gaming, count me out.

The problem is the system and our institutions. It's not just a bunch of shitty people acting in concert. There's a reason why every decent person you elect to Congress ends up being garbage. It's like taking a gallon of purified water and throwing it into a dirty lake, expecting it to do something.

I remember when the Squad was supposed to change things. They had the power to completely block Biden's agenda and chose not to use any of their leverage. Fun times. I honestly can't believe that this is all it took to change people's minds about electoralism. We're fucking doomed.

Just when I think I can't possibly hate Microslop more than I already do...

You don't say...

“Climate change is to blame” for the heat wave that Europeans experienced, said Theo Keeping, co-author of the study and research associate at Imperial College London. “This heat wave would have been virtually impossible even 50 years ago without human-caused climate change.”

The Supreme Court shouldn't exist, actually.

Liberals are always behind the curve, which is why their solutions are often 20-30 years out of date. We're not living in a collapsing society, it's already collapsed and most people don't realize it. The time to propose progressive reform was in the 90s. Now, revolution is the only way forward.

The US has been a fascist state since its inception. It was literally built on slavery and the genocide of Native Americans, which inspired the Nazis. Hope that helps.

I don't feel despair when fascists are on the rise because I know that socialism will ultimately prevail, but I do experience dread when DemSocs appropriate the socialist label, take power, and trick everyone into thinking they're bringing us socialism when they're just actualizing a SocDem agenda.

Fascists are always going to use emergencies to seize power. They never fail to invoke the shock doctrine at every opportunity.

Your democracy was easy to dismantle because you never had a democracy in the first place. It was all just artifice. That should be obvious to everyone at this point, but some people refuse to accept the truth.

Sharing this picture from a while back for absolutely no reason 🥳

Xbox's unionized workers have joined forces across teams to speak out and fight back against looming layoffs, demanding protections not just for union members, but for all Xbox workers. https://kotaku.com/unionized-workers-xbox-respond-layoff-reports-will-not-be-treated-disposable-2000711455

incredible things are happening in my replies today

Centrists think that asking if Hitler was “actually bad” is reasonable lol What the fuck is wrong with you?

Tends to happen when everything is falling apart and you’re on your sixth one-in-a-lifetime crisis.

In another 10 years, you'll be an actual socialist because you'll understand that the problem is capitalism and that DemSocs are still capitalists. Bernie is trying to pull an FDR and save capitalism, while neutralizing revolutionary energy, which will leads us right back to where we are now.

Wow, they got Nolan North to voice Deadpool again. Okay, that's pretty cool.

If centrists and conservatives weren't on the same side, the NY Post wouldn't be trying to make this ghoul look cool, so that she can get re-elected.

The drop out rate would be through the roof because Amazon is burning through the population so fast that they're worried they're literally going to run out of workers. This is why you don't run public institutions like a business.
