Of course they want you to use their shops. That way they can charge whatever price they want.

It's the same reason McDonald's ice cream machines are always down.

With ads being put on the videos now it's definitely not worth it.

Good to see more people are understanding how anti-consumer our digital distribution laws are. Sucks they had to find out this way, but people have been warning of this for years.

"voting is the only way to create change" is the mentality that got us here.

You know why George Floyd's murderer was the only one who got the sentence he deserved? Because the people demanded it by threatening capital.

If we're going to have a president who backs fascist regimes abroad no matter what, they might as well be less fascist domestically.

The bar is so fucking low.

And when you look at how Israel is basically fascist when it comes to Palestine and Biden has backed them unconditionally it blurs the lines even more.

But lives overseas don't matter as much as American lives to most of the US.

Is Trump worse? Hell yes. Is Biden good? No.

Their shitty behavior is what keeps them from getting laid. That makes them volcels.

Patriotism isn't leftist. Providing an economic structure that works for all people regardless of borders is leftist.

No, they are absolutely not the biggest, unless you're talking about classic liberalism instead of something like the Democratic Party. The messaging of the GOP and right in the US is far more opposed to solidarity than anything else.

There is far more participation in unions in Blue states. Union members are also more likely to be Democratic voters.

That said, the Democratic Party doesn't push working class solidarity either, they're just not as openly opposed to it.

Successful social movements requires messaging that can reach the lowest common denominator.

Seriously, how do you have a worse battle pass for a full price game than Fortnite does? It's pretty pathetic.
