yeah that’s what we’ve got, a binary decision between sports (panem et circenses) or outright war.
Couldn’t possibly be some bits in between.
Cute.

rolling_resistance@lemmy.world 22 hours agoI think I prefer “children’s games” to organized crime and wars. Keeps competitve people busy.

Yeah, I don’t sports, but one shouldn’t be ignorant to the fact games are fun. Sports are wildly popular all around the world for a reason. But hey, some of us nerds need to feel superior one way or another.

Games ARE fun. Adults wasting these kinds of resources so rich men can get richer is fucking disgusting and you know it even if you won’t admit it.
It’s a terrible waste of resources, it’s a perversion of athletics, and it doesn’t take a nerd to feel superior to that kind of petty bullshit.
If it’s any consolation I feel the same way about NASCAR and F1. Petty, climate wrecking childish bullshit.
Bet you’re a fan of that garbage too.

Hey, I didn’t see it that way, you got good points, you won me over. You’re a fucking asshole, though, good luck winning others over with your childish bullshit.
The only reason why I’m agreeing with you is because I already have left leaning beliefs and a little bit of an education to know capitalism bad, you’re preaching to the choir. By the way, no, I don’t consume sports of any kind, stop being a butthead.
