  I know but how far does it need to go? How long until my kids are force fed shit about some American political bollocks on their Minecraft server?

    That seems like a slippery slope argument to me. Pretty unlikely.

      But when they do, will he be able to say “we’re playing Minecraft here, can we cool it with USA politics?” Without being told to get his head out the sand? I mean, theres rich people he’ll never meet or influence in any way destroying the world, itd be pretty irresponsible to allow him a space to disassociate with it.

        Also not a realistic scenario. Purely slippery slope argument.

  Me not giving a fuck about your banana republic regime’s internal musical chairs soap opera is also political.

    Sort of. Mostly seems like nihilism or denialism.

      I don’t know the names of any of the people in the OP pic.
      And the fact they were supposedly fired had absolutely no effect on US politics in relation to my life.
      I bet you couldn’t name a single effect those firings had on your life, as well.

        The major, gigantic, impact on your life relies on the fact that these were military expert officers who warned that escalation or ground troops in Iran would be a major disaster. A disaster, where even/especially if you are outside of US will cause extreme cost of living increases with lower quality, at best, assuming you are not ones who will starve, or simply have 0 fuel and ultra low food production.

        Ground troops as an example, means a very long war that could cancel US midterms. Where global shortages are extreme and last too long. $400/bbl oil and $15/gallon US gasoline with double the price elsewhere in the world are the future under such action. Where political wing of Pentagon already needs an excuse to cancel mid terms, incredible global/little americans suffering is the consequence.

        Ah now that generalization was shown to be shortsighted, suddenly it was always about the specifics in the post. Interesting.
