Nah fuck this attitude, if you ever tried to use Wikipedia for an actual research project you'll know how dubious those """sources""" can be.
It's actuslly an exercise one of my TA friends sets for students when they're just learning to research things properly. She gives them a claim on Wikipedia and and asks them to find the primary source for it. So they end up spending hours following chains of citations, until they are checking out old books from the library to try and find excerpts that some blog post that was cited in a paper that was cited in a newspaper, that was cited in a different blog post that was cited in another news article that was cited by Wikipedia claims exists, just to find out it doesn't.
But seriously, don't take Wikipedia seriously unless it cites a primary source directly.
No I understood the point of your comment perfectly, it's the old "well we can't complete fix every problem with society magically overnight with 1 action, so we shouldn't try to do anything" argument. With perhaps a dash of "you want to improve society, yet you participate in society, curious" thrown in as well.
Basically if everyone were to have the same attitude as you literally nothing would ever get better.
Idgaf he's a bigot, a cow or a racist. If I like x thing that was made, and them being a bigot, cow or racist does not impact the product I'm buying, then I'm buying it.
Congrats on perfectly respresenting the core of what is wrong with modern society.
"If it doesn't get in the way of my mindless consumerism, I'll happily support people who are openly racist"
People like you, more so even than the bigots themselves, are why society is turning to shit.
In fairness even if a big studio released a great game, enough people would either try it and not like it, or just give a bad review because it's EA, that it wouldn't make this list.
I know it's just autism. But I get the train into work, I'm the 1st stop from the start of the journey and it's a quiet train so I'm either alone in the train car or there's 1 or 2 others.
Over the course of months taking that train I found the perfect seat in the car, optimal space and legroom, near the heaters, away from the bathroom and luggage racks, best side for the view etc. And I sat in that seat every day for almost 2 years.
Then out of fucking nowhere, this absolute piece of shit, this detestable rotting husk of a man, possessed by the faintest whisper of a some ghost that was lobotomised and abused in it's previous life before crawling it's way through ever circle of hell to be rejected by satan himself for being such pathetic waste of existence, before falling arse first back into the mortal realm and landing inside that hideous, cantankerous, deprived, and loathsome body, starts sitting in MY seat, of all the 50+ seats on that carriage, of all the 8 carriages of that train and he chooses to sit there every single fucking day. I once even tried waking up early to go to the station the train starts at. But despite getting there almost 15 minutes before it departed, that foul beat disguised as a man was already there in my seat.
I still do not know what I have done that was such an afront to whatever cruel god casts it's scornful eyes on my life to cause it to unleash this plague of man onto me in order to torture me on such a deep and primal level. But no sin of man in heaven or on earth deserves this kind retribution.
Okay buddy if you want to be purposely obtuse and pretend you don't understand the difference between attraction and fetishizing, then go ahead. But it would be better for everyone if you left that kind of bullshit on reddit where it belongs.
I feel like thats a bit dishonest, saying it like that kind of implies that instability and violence in the region is only a result of western imperialism, and kind of ignored both non western imperialist influences on the area and the deep history of internal conflict in the region.
Fighting tyranny doesn't mean going to war with the US military.
It can be things like black panther style community patrols. A lot of states are open carry, you could set up armed community patrols around your neighbourhood, and that would make the brownshirts a lot less likely to drop in and start abducting people.
support for Russia is strategic, support for China is because they are an actual socialist country.
This sentence here invalidates anything else you might say. If you "strategically" support the imperialist, authoritarian capitalist power just because they are in opposition to a different imperialist capitalist power, then it's not actually about oppossing imperialism or capitalism is it? You're just being a contrarian.
Same with China, it's not a socialist country is it? The workers don't have actually power, the party does and the workers can't chose the party, china still has it's Uber rich capitalist class that profit off the back of the workers. In fact it's more of a capitalist hellhole than many western nations, but again tankies will ignore all that and blindly support then because of Pure contrarianisn to US bullshit.
So you guys are just raging hypocrites that will support whatever bullshit, no matter how bad as long it's vaguely anti-american/anti-western. So you're as opposed to ACTUAL progress as even the most diehard neo-con, the only difference being how smug and holier than thou you lot are about and the fact that you really should know better.
