How much money do you think the median American takes home these days with cost of living and suppressed wages? -2000 in credit card debt once the budget gets tallied?

The Chinaman is not the issue dude.
And please Asian American is the preferred nomenclature

I would say “the Chinese invented many things in the last two millennia.” And “China is constantly posturing against Taiwan” to separate the people from their government.
“The Chinese” doesn’t have to be racist it can just include all the people of the region across all times. It can be a bit ignorant but doesn’t flag maliciousness

Technically if you took out a bunch of bad loans the government would be bailing out the banks. Like 2008. Let’s ride!
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
I’d urge you to consider most of americas downfall in the last 60 years was sold through fear not greed. Red scares, war on terrorism. Fear caused us to erode our rights to the greediest power-hungry grifters in town. If we were so greedy why would we continue to impoverish ourselves to form an oligarchy. I find the Marx argument on the subject, a bit old and lacking in modern nuance.

Do you think the average American politician is more greedy than: a Saudi politician, a Russian politician, a British empire politician, an Africa warlord chopping off kids hands? An Israeli prime minister?
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
Well we had to define “the system”. If you ask the monarchists: democracy is the corrupt system that allowed the greed and corruption to take hold? Perhaps the uneducated masses don’t need political power because their personal greed and ignorance empowers the capitalists in charge?
I don’t have any fundamental issues with humans owning land and investing in businesses. I don’t think that specification is the one where we went completely wrong. I’d say socialism is where we went wrong (just for lols) we taxed the masses and gave the resources to the few. The government took power from the individuals and handed it to small groups of their friends. And they used it to entrench power in the government. It’s just backward socialism with the money trickling up. The Republican congressmen all got rich on Medicare fraud. It’s crazy how these socialist programs end up solely benefiting the people in charge of them.
Is that a problem with the economic system or the government?
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
Like was citizens united a failure of our economic system or government? One would argue Americans could have pressured their government to legislate that out but were too stupid to see that a cause of the problem: is that capitalism or a lack of education and active citizenship
- Comment on Greed is Destroying the World - Drew Gooden 2 weeks ago:
No you’re on point we value greed more in 2025 than we did in 1925-1950. I don’t think capitalism or the system its self is problematic. There’s lots of room for social programs, regulations, taxation etc in capitalism to balance the scales. I think having an uneducated overworked population, and decades of political corruption are probably more of the cause than just saying “capitalism bad”. Personally I think having large top heavy institutions always leads to corruption and strong men so add any political system you want. With enough centralized power comes corruption and exploitation.

Idk traveling around the world made me more empathetic and understanding of people. Some people travel the world and decide to conquer it… ya know? It’s just people.

Bro we were climbing towers in Zelda for the thing in 1997.

I feel like Nintendo 64 was the real OG adapter of open world RPGs. The success of Mario 64 and legend of Zelda had already proven the genre wildly profitable

Would you like me to analyze your ethical decisions and judge you publicly? I am certain we can find some unethical behaviors that you partake in every day that hurt the environment and the people around you. I don’t have time in my day. It’s just a really weird thing to pick out and have a moral battle with. It’s a personal choice. It’s an addiction. There’s plenty of bad people out there. The cigarette smokers are not trying to hurt you intentionally.

It’s alright they never had to suffer from the utter brainwash advertising we had. They are brainwashed the other way. It’s probably a good thing. World used to be a smoke cloud.

Yes. We are American. We’re destined to die from a gun. Who’s got time to be afraid of a plant? What is a healthcare?
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 6 months ago:
If you play 1-2 hours a week you probably haven’t even unlocked the free stuff yet, or got meaningful upgrades. The new guns are not that great. I use the same shotgun from day 1. Same OG kit. The game plays fine without the BPs. The game gives you free access to BP. The core game itself is very fun to play and the rewards come pretty naturally.How is this an issue?

Here the thing, if you only play 1-2 hours a week you barely have enough time to get a good load out figured out. Why don’t you just enjoy the game as is, when you have 40 hours in the game you should have unlocked a battle pass. It’s how games are monetized now. Enjoy the content available to you or fork up the cash. Welcome to 2025 we all hate it here.

I’m talking about 70$ games man. Im talking about IP being locked away for decades. Genres of games dying off to push profitability of bigger projects. Strangling out smaller studios any way possible. I’m talking about Gamers. They came for GAMERS.

Eh it’s all just stolen and borrowed code. Whens the next Dawn of war or command and conquer coming out? Oh never. locked behind IP laws and timid corpos.

I just wanna know which amazing video game innovations We are protecting here in America. Are we talking about the failing franchises that have been milking their customers for 15 years? Have we done anything really innovative recently? Remakes delayed games and flops.

Do we enjoy the premise of capitalism where businesses compete to make the best and cheapest product for the consumer?
Yes. Yes we did up until a few months ago.

Oh I know, I’m not a kid and I share your concerns for media literacy for future generations. Part of media literacy will be learning AI. Kids will need to know that reddit is removing real people, and replacing them with AI’s which are harming the AI data bases. Iran and China make propaganda tick tocks and that gets picked up. Russian disinformation seeps through right wing media and into the internet and onto AI’s. I was just talking to the AI about it yesterday it’s very aware. I’m aware. My mom has no idea, and is addicted to facebook products. Media literacy is the problem and there’s really no way to teach it to the people left behind. I’ve been a student of it my whole life and its still a pretty complex problem to grasp. It is made worse by AI. but the solution is not, ignore AI. It’s a tool and if you don’t understand it it will be a tool to control you.

Usually it will pull up sources when asked. “ChatGTP you said “x…” could you please provide a source for that information”
