  2. Which was kind of the thematic point of the original Modern Warfare. You don't know why the SAS boarded that ship or why you shot sailors during their sleep (until you find a shipping manifest that contextualizes the mission). You don't know anything about Al-Assad or the people he executed in the introduction of the game. You're just playing as extraordinary people who are used as chess pieces and have no moral agency but will sacrifice themselves to save the world and nobody will even know about it (the events are covered up). Then when MW became personal and Price had monologues that made him sound like he thought of himself as divine justice incarnate the story went off the rails.

  3.  @andyb6400  "What is he supposed to do?" - Maybe stop receiving chat donations because he's pretty much set for life? That would be a start. "Either give all his money away" - He doesn't have to. What about instead of giving money away, he actually starts building something to further his goals? He could start a business, not use any tax loopholes, pay his fair share, give his employees benefits and not exploit them. If his theories are correct, he'd actually make money! "or completely stop criticizing society" - He doesn't have to stop criticizing society. But he has to recognize that society made him rich by sitting in front of a computer. He gets money from people who probably have to work hard. How is he any better than a boss? "Itd be a drop in a pond" - Even if you argue that in terms of total it would be small change, still doesn't change the fact that he has the opportunity many didn't have. Instead of taking it, he sits on a chair and rakes in cash. Additionally, even if you ate the rich by straight up taking all the wealth from the 400 richest people in the US and took the revenue of American Fortune 500 companies, you'd still not have enough money to run the US federal budget for an entire year. So even if Bezos donated all his wealth it would be a drop in the bucket. The excuse that works for Hasan works for everyone else. "So he uses his platform and uses his 1st amendment right to try and influence policy change" - He could influence policy change by doing instead of talking. Ever heard be the change you want to see in the world? Or if he can't do it, he can hire someone with the skills. Also, he can try to influence policy change for free. There's so many activists who lived very humble lives because they were dedicated to the cause rather than the money. I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying life, but it seems to me Hasan is more of an enjoyer than someone willing to create the change. Good for him. Seems like he could be a little more grateful. "It would have to be policy enforced by the government" - I'm sorry but this is just authoritarian fantasy. So Hasan will give his money away when it's the government using the threat of force? Easy to be charitable after getting a strongly worded letter from the IRS saying that if they have to come back next time they'll bring cops. "If he "lead by example" no one would follow" - If his theories were correct, he could become the best business owner ever. All Americans would want to buy from his business, and every worker would want to work at his establishments. Other companies would be FORCED to adopt the same policies as him to stay in business. That is, if his theories worked.

  9.  @jaydeeoldboy9903  fuck off. I knew Jim was garbage since the 2012-2013 era when this shit started cranking up right before gamergate. He used his podcast on Destructoid to shit on men because male sex toys are disembodied female body parts. The dumb fuck waved a giant purple dildo around on Jimquisition and had no self-awareness to even realize female sex toys are often disembodied male body parts. He didn't do such things that often but whenever he had the chance to shit on men and put women on a pedestal he fucking took it.

  10.  @hornetguy9063  as dirty as politics is, at least there's an expectation that you either climbed the ranks, or you got into politics as a dark horse. Nothing wrong with an actor getting into politics. But having a casting call to select the next politician? That sounds like an 80s comedy movie. And it would have been a pretty good one if it had been made then.

  11.  @viysnjor4811  Weird way they have of staying out of politics. The CEO gave The New York Times an interview (first mistake, the press is the enemy) where he called a diverse group "racist". He could have called them stupid. He could have called them a FBI honey pot considered so many of their leaders are FBI informants. But he went there. He called them racist. That's politics. He said a "friend" in the Pentagon warned him that St. Michael the Archangel is racist symbolism. Insulting the Christian faith and the patron saint of the military, and organization he glorifies, by calling it racist is politics. We wanted companies to stay out of politics. They insisted on it. Feigned neutrality is not neutrality. Trying to stay out of politics by being political is damaging too.

  15.  @rafal2675  Der Spiegel also reported that in Hamburg their "ICUs are full with 90% unspiked" data was based on 70% having unknown status and thus being flagged as unspiked in the data. Recently in Portugal an official was also asked for a source for his "90% in ICU unspiked" data on TV and he started mumbling about "conversations with friends" who work in the ICUs. The narrative doesn't even hold up to the softball scrutiny of MSM.

  21. +wwg_Marcus I'm afraid the analogy is lost on you. The NPC meme has to do with the people who seem to be simply obeying the programming, which is why they're so predictable and act irrationally, they parrot whatever they're told by the media, etc. The "game coder" are the people and corporations who are funding the media and the gender studies "The fact is you can claim they are obeying the "programing" but their "outrage" gets results - what do you think will be the result of Jeremy spending 10 minutes crying about them? Hint: nothing." - what the hell does that have to do with anything? In no way does that contradict the NPC meme. "PCs get results, while NPCs react to PC's actions. and 9 times out of 10 they are getting their way" - what exactly is the point here? You're still not giving us a good critique of the NPC meme, for someone who seems to vehemently opposed to it. "Pretending like not accomplishing something is "winning" and the people getting the reuslts they want are losing may make you feel better" - again how does that contradict the NPC meme? "but aren't going to spur the kinda of actual changes to get your views respected to the point where they "influece" the game." - Jesus. The "game" isn't the meme. That's an externality. A few months ago there were articles about a study that blew out proportion findings about internal monologues. People thought that the study proved that there are people without internal monologues. So the NPC meme was born and it was applied to people who like normie shit and don't think for themselves. Then it got political and now NPCs are people who can't form their own opinions and seem programmed like a simplistic AI. Like "if accuser.Character = Gender.WOMAN -> then status.BELIEVE". Shit like that, if you're arguing against a black person who disagrees with liberals then say "internalized white supremacy", if woman disagrees then "internalized misogyny", etc. "So as long as you're solely focuseed on responding to PCs instead of driving the game in a way you want, you're also a NPC" - what the fuck does that even mean? Being an NPC doesn't mean SHIT about that. A human thinks for himself, a NPC obeys programming. The NPC can make changes to the world while the human just watches. That's not a fucking definition. AI can win games. Jesus way to overthink a meme, not get it, and then try to make it fit your beliefs.

  22.  @willyjimmy8881  so is "real" money... Most money exists digitally only. Most people don't get paid in dollar bills. When you ask a bank for a loan you don't get dollar bills. Crypto is a joke as an investment because it created the gold rush but that wasn't the fucking point of crypto. If we decided cucumber slices were worth a dollar and banks banned me from giving you 100 dollars, I'd just give you 100 cucumber slices.

  32.  @tumamaencosplay  "It's not that hard to conceptualize, a free market socialist simply doesnt believe in the goverment messing with the market, but still believes social programs are neccesary." - that's not even the core concept of market socialism. Market socialism is not a free market because there's still no private property or "profit". "For example full an-cap degenerates into monopolies (see the gilded age)" - the gilded age involved MASSIVE government corruption and subsidies

  33.  @tumamaencosplay  "There's plenty of European countries with socialist policies" - there's not a single European country with socialist policies. "their free market didn't suddendly get restrained or imploded due to it." - Actually, it did. Social programs were scaled back in some countries because the economy needed to improve and thus taxes had to be lowered.

  34.  @tumamaencosplay  "My argument has always been that literally any policy, including the lack of it, affects the market in a way," - That's like saying that me not murdering you affects your life. Sure, I guess that from the standpoint of what words mean the sentence is true. But you can't say that my decision to not stalk you and killing you is affecting your life. It's the exact opposite of having an effect. "The example of basic free healthcare is a good one. Quite honestly, pure capitalism fucking fails at healthcare" - No, it doesn't. "not only does it become unreasonibly expensive without regulation" - You do realize that healthcare was to be cheap so doctors formed the medical associations that lobbied for regulations that prohibited the cheap healthcare options, right? Factory owners would hire the services of a doctor for their entire workforce. Many doctors preferred to get paid for everyone who walked into their clinic rather than a one time payment. So the practice of hiring a doctor for the entire workforce was banned. Ever since the 1940's that regulations were passed that made healthcare more and more expensive.

Want another? I only know that at one point he was e-begging because he claimed he had been catfished but changed the story to being denied a job after moving to new york. I don't know any more about DeFranco. But he hasn't had "1" significant mistake. It was several.

  41. +wwg_Marcus don't worry, the meme is being run into the fucking ground like 90% of the memes in existence, we don't need the fakedeep "both sides are exactly the same" philosophy. We've replaced philosophy with pictures of the Joker saying "we live in a society". "The only real difference is they are changing things based on their actions while Jeremy is not" - how is "change" a defining factor? "I mean you're literally blindly parroting a mean you saw on an online board (or heard here) how does that make you a free thinker?" - explaining a meme means parroting? "The "goal" should eb about controlling the game and the outcome" - who said anything about goals? "That's what PCs do and NPCs don't" - not really. The human player has agency to chose not even participate on the game, or make mistakes and lose. Also, player characters are not supposed to have control over the game unless you are in an actual sandbox game. The gamemaster is in control of the game and the player can prevail over the controlling element. But he has no control, at least in most games. "If a gender study major wants to force a company to hire them as a diversity officer, they can do that" - and if an AI soldier wants to flush you out of your cover by tossing a grenade, it can do that. "You can claim, baselessly, that they "don't think for themselves" - issa joke. Don't take it too seriously. "but the harsh reality is your views aren't any more original than theirs just the same old blind parroting of others throughts" - that's ironic. I actually do question my own beliefs and my core principles have changed over the years, I have thought and debated and learned and arrived at conclusions. Your accusation is false, and falls within the scope of what you are criticizing. "The main difference is their thoughts, words, and actions are taken with specific goals in mind" - and if you want to be anal about it... NPCs also have specific goals and will adopt behaviors necessary to accomplish them. Having end goals for your behaviour exists in the whole animal kingdom and in robotics. "you have the lack of internal monolouge" - Jesus. So because I don't have the goal to change the world and force it to fit my beliefs that means lack of internal monologue? What the fuck? "the people who have an agenda, goals, and a path to acheive those goals must clearly have because they are executivng their plan constantly" - what? Well the article blew the study out of proportion, but accomplishing goals has nothing to do with the existence or lack of internal monologue. You can acomplish goals but never question the goals or even have a conversation with yourself. "How are you "shaking up the world" and isnt' that more of a sign of "breaking from the norm"" - "shaking up the world" exactly in the way that the media and large corporations want it? How is it "breaking the norm" to obey the directives set by the people who figured out that they can easily create needs and products to satisfy those needs? Too much fakedeep pseudointellectualism, 1/10. I'd given it a 0 but you got me to reply.

But they're part of a rapidly conglomerating industry. Plus it's all probably a front for money laundering. Come on, production companies put 10 minute videos up... with an ad underneath saying you can have a 1 day trial and download everything you want for 1-2 dollars. How the fuck does it make money? It's all cocaine money or something.

When Polish hero Witold Pilecki let himself be captured, sent to a camp and then escaped to report what was happening, the British and Americans actually decided to downplay the existence of the camps - because they were afraid public opinion would turn against the war if people thought the war was about liberating camps.

  47.  inyrui  I love how you don't even address the arguments and go straight for the leftist "poor you" deflection tactic whenever anyone on their side is caught being a shithead. The obsession with victimization and the logic of "there's no bad actions only bad targets" has actually prevented leftists who are garbage human beings from being called out because any attempt to call them out is framed as victimization. "I love e;r. I dont have to agree with everything he says to enjoy him." - nobody said you did. But when he posted a video of Steven Universe's brain broadcasting a Hitler speech the joke lands whether you agree or not. You can be offended. You can just not like the joke. But the point that E;R does not deserve to get booted out doesn't conflict with choosing not to listen to Jim Sterling because he has bad opinions and he's a hypocrite. We didn't call for Jim Sterling to be deplatformed and I don't think anyone should be forced to watch E;R. Somehow, you think you have found hypocrisy here when there is none. "I'm a dude, and as a dude, I dont give a fuck if people bad mouth men. Men are pigs" - That's the ultimate "spare some coochie, ma'am?" move. I don't care about your perspective because you have no actual statements to back it up. My point is that Jim Sterling is actually too dumb to make a criticism of men. Years ago he went on a rant against men because male sex toys are disembodied female parts. He is too fucking dumb to even acknowledge that the gigantic purple dildo from Saints Row he waved around for years of the jimquisition is representative of female sex toys and is in fact a disembodied male part. If men are pigs because our sex toys (which not every male uses) are disembodied female parts and that's Jim's insight into the male view of women... Then what do women's sex toys say about women? That's my point. Even if Jim says something that is right his mentality is corrupted by his own politics and personal biases. I watch people who can make a coherent argument and explain concepts I don't understand enough to have an opinion myself. If Jim is going to say something I already agree with but his explanation requires me to accept a bunch of beliefs I wholeheartedly reject there's no point in watching. Either way, people who claim the world is overpopulated and men who hate men have the same solution - and nobody actually follows through with it. Funny how that works. It's almost like they're not being honest. "His content about the industry is why I watch" - but the point is that his comments about the industry are completely inseparable from his brainlet understanding of capitalism. And that's my point, E;R's joke about overrepresentation of Jewish people in positions of power while a Hitler speech is playing does not undermine his criticism of Steven Universe. You can detach content from the joke. If I'm going to detach Sterling's politics from his content it's just "bideo gaem industry bad" and wow I don't need a 10 minute video of filler to know that.
