Okay, to be fair I genuinely asked my players this exact question after my last session where they teamed up with the "Totally Not Helldiver Vampires" and got a response that they all knew these guys are sus. They just want to wait for the inevitable betrayal first.

Repressing. He's merely doing the minimum California demands of him.

Seriously, he's still fucking hated for blatantly throwing trans people under the bus, handing out with alt-right grifters, and finally acting like the rich scumbag everyone knew he was but no one quite had proof yet.

Depending on your perspective, either the Americans half-assed their camps, or the Germans overbuilt theirs.

Not quite the image of her talking about the PS3 and 360, but it still fits.

To be fair, the only reason I sound like an accelerationist, is because the building is clearly on fire right now and I'm presuming its structural at this point. So yeah, while I wish it didn't get to this point, it feels likely that we will have to rebuild things from the ground up.

Personally, I really hate this diagram. It feels like its used far more to tar a huge part of the population as "weak" and therefore not worth considering.

Now, there us an element of truth to this in that it probably is not a coincidence that fascism is on the rise right after the generation that fought in WW2 mostly died off. But I'd much rather blame the current problems on thr handful of plutocrats who have been sabatoging things for gerations now, than claim its due to some ineitablilty with strength and generations.

Its 1.7 billion in tax exceptions. Given how much politicians love to argue tax deductions and negative tax rates are handouts to normal folks, I'll count those as handouts to oil companies.

Basically. I didn't know that the developer was Palestinian, as 404 merely mentioned the developer currently resides in Brazil, but yeah the point still stands. You can have a solo developer make a good game around a good message, a bad game around a good message, or any combination in between.

Its why the discussion around this game mildly annoys me, as the asset flip nature of the game really gives a sour comparison to other more famous games with "controversial" scenes. No Russian, for example.

Ultimately, yes people should be equally able to put out a bad game that tries to tell the story of Hamas as they are to put out CoD.

Terrorists and school shooters. Frankly, if cops were as gun happy towards Nazis as they are everyone else, we wouldn't have quite the fascist problem.

Now, I'm not saying an idiot with a gun is the best solution to those issues, but it would be a solution.

Lots of money being spent on overhyped projects that either fail to deliver, cheap upgrades that overrun costs so badly they were never the affordable option, and the actual new stuff that works never sees completion.

Where have I seen these patterns before...

Its a system that does some things really well and some things very poorly, like every other TTRPG. Thus trying to force 5e to do things it was never meant to often either results in a bad experience overall, or basically not using the 5e rules at all.
