Mhmm. Everyone is shitting on Nintendo, but the reality is their games are literally keeping up with inflation. The problem is that our wages haven't kept up with inflation, and the cost of living has, at least, kept up. In some cases (rent), it's grown faster than the inflation of everything else.

Don't get me wrong, Nintendo is tone deaf for making this decision now, and I suspect they'd still make billions with a $15 price increase rather than a $30 one. I'm not defending them. But the picture is a lot larger than them.

No.

His only success has been shitting on Trudeau. Whenever he's asked about his own policies or ideas, he stammers for a little bit before turning to talking about what he is not.

"You can't treat the Chinese government's opinion as universal to all Chinese people"

"Everyone on Reddit and Lemmy are morons and lying hypocrites."

Alright, buddy. Perhaps turn that hatred of hypocrisy inward before you embarrass yourself further.

But considering how many straw men you had to build and how many contradictory blanket statements you had to make just to make that post, I suspect that would be too much to ask.

Thanks. I appreciate you saying so.

I guess his accomplices never told him: you only get to avoid consequences if you're wealthy.

I kid, of course. I am sure he said this after leaving his 500k-1mil valued house, and driving to the court in an audi. Sorry, pal, but you might just have to give a couple things up until you tug those bootstraps a little harder. It's what you'd tell anyone else living outside of their means and committing crimes to do.

Oh no, wait, you wouldn't. You'd look for a way to tie them to a minority group and ask ICE to come pick them up. Fucking fascist.

Why let the word "rebel" sit outside of the questions marks? These people aren't rebels, and they're not presenting news. They're actively fighting to give more power to the powerful: the exceedingly wealthy, and those of European Caucasian descent. They are the establishment; the only thing they're rebelling against is the half of the establishment that's content being 3 yachts up on your average Canadian.

The irony of a .ml user calling .world a "Nazi bar" is palpable.

Not American, and yes to most of that.

The "both sides" argument is a dishonest one aimed at making people feel powerless. It can fuck right off.

"That person has different opinions from me, such an obvious troll!"

Fair though, I would troll the shit out of tankies at every opportunity I have the energy for. Fucking .ml.

I respect you for doing it, but the .ml at the end of their name really just means you're wasting your effort.

None the less, good on you for fighting the good fight. I'm sick and tired of people pushing powerlessness and apathy under the guise of good will.

Oh no, I angered the tankies.

Both parties suck. The world would not be experiencing economic bipolarism, and we would not be spreading memes about American born citizens rotting in prisons in El Salvador just to cope had Trump lost the election. The two parties are not the same.

No, I just misread the first time. Fair enough.
