We do have a problem of polarisation. But on the other hand we also have a problem of too many games, so we simply can't play them all. This leads us to a need to choose which one to pick. And a bad choice is very bad, because games are expensive and time consuming.

Now the real problem is when a community mistaken a new game for another. Like avowed was considered a terrible game because the leader scroll fanboys thought it would be their next game, and it wasn't. Anyone who know what old school bioware games were will certainly love avowed.

Now while veilgard is not a bad game, is it actually good? I'm not informed enough yet about it, but bioware has been terrible in the last decade, so I am clearly very wary of what they're doing.

I will wait for a discount for both those games, and I'll play avowed first because I'm informed and careful, and I have other games to play already.

On the side there's also the problem of fascist propaganda that will brand a game woke a try to destroy it.

Your country and its people have been inhumane for 80 years. You have no lesson to give to anyone. And you have only you to blame for your current misery.

Don't worry, the US will share some its misery with the world in the form of global warming and wars.

No one is holding a trial here. The metaphor cannot be milked forever. 8t was a bad metaphor to begin with. So stop with it.

I'm not a US citizen, so no, I'm not to blame. And if you ask me I'm happy for the downfall of the USA. But I'm sad for the victims that will happen because of fascism. And I'm sad that liberals would still rather blame leftists than admit their own failures.

How would you consider a policeman watching a crime happen and do absolutely nothing about it?

Biden is not responsible for what Trump is doing. He is responsible for letting it happen. He failed to fight maga during the 4 years he had all the powers to do it.

To be accurate, it is not a fault, it is a failure. His responsibility is on this failure, not anything else.

And despite this women on average are paid less than men. The results you mention are very old. They are at least 30 years old.

Still, those numbers are hiding important details, like how men outnumber women in stem for example in crazy numbers, like 9 to 1. And those domains where men outnumber women are way, way better paid. They are also hiding how women on average are not promoted as much as men despite better performances or degrees, and they don't reach as high positions in companies than men.

Oh, and I'd be surprised if women who choose to stay at home to raise children were considered as unemployed the way all men are.

I disagree on the last paragraph. Not so long ago helping disabled people was an obvious thing to do in our societies. I'm not saying it was easy for them or that it always worked. But in the last 70 years our societies changed to remove any help that wasn't justified. The reason was simply to save money.

Now you must justify that you are different and this difference warrant a different treatment. Because the society became intolerant to difference.

Wholeheartedly agree with this! IMO our societies have a big problem with people being different.

That's my opinion, but I attribute this liberalism: when the society's philosophy is to attribute 5he responsibility of anyone's success on each self person, it means the responsability to fit in is on the person itself and not on the society. This removes the burden of inclusion from the society, the group, and make it a burden of adaptation on the person. It is a toxic societal environment.

As an argument to this point of view: making it an illness provide a justification for the person to be different, and a responsability for the society to accommodate disabled people. But the need to go to this extreme instead of simply being tolerant and accommodating any difference is both stupid (because it is a burden for both the victims and the society to hold discussions about basic needs) and a inhuman way of treating people.

Another argument to my thesis is that the "epidemic" is coincidental with societal individualism (pushed by liberalism and that rose since the end of ww2) and the decline of social structures like church and government help (because liberalism was about fighting government involvement in people's lives).

Capitalism did nothing. Scientific discoveries and the philosophy that extracted themselves from stagnating religions allowed for unparalleled progresses.

Capitalism is a doctrine that's been created in the 19th century and is basically based on private property and accumulation of wealth. It does mean something very simple in fact. And it has nothing to do with democracy or oligarchy.

In French we call the precious system the old regime. It was based on privileges and heredity, not wealth and private property.

That's the fundamentals of the organisation of the society. In Europe capitalism after ww2 was made less damaging to the society because communism was a threat and capitalism had to be seen as a good alternative.

But ultimately capitalism is a sickness that leads to the exact same kind of feudalism that the old regime did. Musk and Trump are merely using the system as intended: they leverage their wealth to get power.
