Pretty much this. There are people with certain interests that benefit from current events. It is simply that acquiring those benefits do not require them to meet any of the consequences due to how we have structured our society. The way it is now, there exist layer upon layer of various degrees of separation between the person making the decision and the actual consequences from that decision.

Literally the same premise as the OP but presented with much better, more nuanced rhetoric that’s actually reasonable instead of “dumb person wishes for for obviously bad thing for no reason other than because they are dumb”

Seriously. They are the epitome of braindead, surface-level takes with silly faces. This is content that only pre-teens would find deep.

Not all comics are jokes. Sometimes they are just trying to make a statement.

Which is why the retailer, Steam, already restricts certain regions from buying titles if they are deemed illegal in that region.

Again, it is not the authority of the payment processors to dictate what people can and cannot purchase. Period. No excuses or justifications will be accepted.

None of that is relevant to the other comment’s point that these companies should not have that level of authority to dictate what we can or cannot purchase. If it is legal to purchase, then payment processors should not be allowed to deny the purchase. Period.

It is essentially the same concept as trying to listen in on a conversation in another room by putting your ear up to the wall.

It technically works, but making out what is being said is not easy unless the other party is being exceptionally loud.

Yea, this is true, if you just ignore literally everything else about superhero genre pieces, the themes and allegories that are being presented through storytelling, and only pay attention to the surface level spectacle.

Which is why you always bring a bush knife or small hatchet if you’re going camping.

The logs don’t need to start in a useful shape, just end in one.

Ugh why did you remind me of this? Grimm was such a good show only to just fucking nosedive right off a cliff one day.

Except that isn’t the same logic?

A show’s ending is the culmination of its plotlines. A bad ending essentially invalidates all the plot development of the show.

Similar logic applied to a human would be if someone spent all their life trying to cure cancer and told everyone about how they were about to release the cure to then, suddenly, abandon the project, destroy all research so no one else can use it, and fuck off to retire in Tahiti.

Most people have no idea just how little they actually know about the world around them.

Hell, most of what the average person “knows” is just made up assumptions they had about things they knew little to nothing about and subsequently internalized those assumptions without actually researching if they were correct.

Humans are hella prone to trapping ourselves in fallacious thought without even knowing we do it. It’s just how our brains have evolved to work through inductive reasoning.

Of course they are. They are both prime examples of settler colonialism in action.

People forget that Israel started as a British colony

Bruh wuuut? That song was the best song on the soundtrack.

Edit: oh shit, just saw it was 2 not 3.

Except it used to be … And can be again

My steam library is full of humble bundles that I only bought for 2 games because it would be like $5, cheaper than buying regularly, and still getting like 7 other games with them.

And that’s even with me giving away keys from games I know I won’t ever play.

Things is, true revolutionary effort is far from exciting or interesting.

It’s literally just getting involved in local politics and forming lobbying groups with like minded people. It’s boring shit getting together with your local community to bitch about what needs to be done, how y’all will acquire the resources to get it done, and delegate who is going to do it.

Yet, that’s how all of society functions. The biggest issue with today’s society is how isolated from this process people are. We go to work and go home without ever being involved in the things that control our workplaces and homes.

Loved the first seasons of Arrow. The crossover episodes with Flash were great.

No I believe that title goes to Mao or Lenin

Star Wars: Andor is made and produced by fucking Disney. Squid Games was produced by Netflix.

Never underestimate the ability of capitalism to commodify anything and everything, even the dissent of the system.
