It's all powerful people. Many studies show that social power affects the brain, suppressing empathy centers.

As you get more wealth, status or fame, your brain becomes less capable of empathy and closer to the brain of a psychopath.

As long as we have hierarchies, we will be ruled by villains.

I only have it on PS4 so I can't even get 2.0 + Phantom Liberty till I can afford a new gaming computer. Even using the old systems it's such a great game.

The characters are very thoughtfully written, the atmosphere is top notch, and the themes of control and power are well reflected in the main plot and a host of side quests.

The neighborhoods all feel like unique parts of a whole, and the surprising verticality of the city makes it fun to explore, especially once you get legs upgrades.

Bikes are more fun than cars, so definitely be thinking of Akira and stick to 2 wheels when you can. Shooting people through walls or around corners is pretty fun, as is rebooting people's eyes or taking over the heavy turret of some unsuspecting defenders.

When we kill CEOs it's domestic terrorism. When they kill us it's suicide.

It's clever, catchy and appropriate for the historical moment.

When an illegitimate fascist coup accuses you of domestic terrorism, it's because you're doing the right thing.

This decision is an abuse of the legal system. It's not a legitimate judgement and greenpeace should refuse to comply.

Standing up to the illegimate russian regime's attempts to kill americans on medicaid and social security is not riskier than normalizing fascism.

Incorrect. This will make our government's imperialist invasions much easier, since our government is an extension of the russian state and the US military can only possibly get in their way.

On the contrary, they assumed that grossly unfit morons would have mass appeal and that's why the constitution has so many provisions to make sure that popular will is not reflected at the ballot box.

They hoped that the rich would not elect a grossly unfit traitor, which all of history shows is a laughably stupid assumption.

His cars also trap burn and kill a large number of people and starlink is used by russians to kill ukrainians (and vice versa).

His products hurt people all the time, before you even look at the murderous actions of the illegitimate fascist regime he's part of.

A survey of 600 likely general election voters in Michigan, released late Thursday by WDIV Local 4/Detroit News, found that zero African American respondents said that they supported Trump, while 82.1 percent said they supported Vice President Kamala Harris.
