China Limits Gaming

They haven’t flipped like you think. There are things RIGHT NOW as we speak that the right is trying to limit. Your point of view is flawed, likely from media misinformation and the left’s constant “cancel them” sensationalism. One state just passed a law stating it is mandatory for every kid to stand for the pledge of allegiance. Freedoms, especially those that involve religious freedoms, are constantly under attack from the right every single day in this country.

Make no doubt about it, if the right had their way they would force everyone in this country to practice Christianity or suffer some sort of consequence for it. I grew up in the Bible belt, it’s still a mess for those who are non-Christian.

That’s in the past, the rightwingers nowadays are all about freedom. See for example Covid measures: it’s no coincidence that the measures that are the most authoritarian are employed in leftwing-ruled states.

Sure, the right is still against abortions, because it’s horrible to murder human beings. Any child deserves the same protections as fully grown humans, even children who aren’t born yet. And as for the pledge of allegiance, the right has moved on from wanting to force it on everyone (which was indeed wrong), they’re fine if you stay silent, as long as you don’t actively do something to disrespect the country (and even then it never moves any further than anger: there’s a clear understanding it’s authoritarian to make rules governing something like this).

Don’t bother arguing with a right-wing apologist, they are uneducated KFC munchers. Oh, how I wish it were only a meme.

The BIG effect of this in China will be the growth of offline games / DRM games.

No government can control offline gaming! Chinese government wasting there time.

GoG may be in for a surge in China and all the games on steam you can play offline.

It’s not. If you think that, you’re just blind to what’s really happening. I could give examples, as I already have. It’s alive and well.

This is another discussion, and one, if we could have, I am 100% sure I could show where you are wrong.

No they aren’t. They literally are passing it in a state. And go read what the right are saying about it. They think it’s a GREAT thing.

So what are you doing to fight the climate catastrophe?

If you don’t see what the left has done over the years to restrict free speech and increase the power of the government, you’re the blind one. Both parties have shifted to the left: the left is now far-left which is equally as dangerous as far-right, and the right is now centrist.

I didn’t know 1 state was making children stand up and I do disagree with that. However, compared to all the authoritarian laws the left has introduced, that’s still hardly anything.

There’s only a climate catastrophe if you look at a small scale of a couple hundred to a couple thousand years. Climate is far too big to measure like that: it’s like looking at Antarctica, only a piece of the Earth, and saying “clearly Earth is an extremely cold planet”. Look at a scale of hundred-thousand to millions of years and you see today’s climate is completely normal.

I’m not saying that offline games don’t exist. They will always be around, like monopoly, and other offline console games. I mean you can buy a pack of cards and play card games at home, that does not require an internet connection. However, that being said, over the last decade there has been a huge shift from offline games to online games. It actually started longer than 10 years ago really.

The reality is people play more online game than offline games. So it is Solipsism? No, it’s the shift that has occurred in gaming due to advances in technologies.

uh huh. That’s why they want voting controls and the right to overturn elections with no evidence of fraud. That’s why they want control of women’s right to give birth or not, that’s why they only want freedoms for corporations, and not unions, or anything that helps individuals.
That’s why they have never fought for health care, or any infrastructure, or any ecological improvements.
Instead; they have lobbied for corporations to be allowed to poison our water, and sell our water back to us at a 300% markup, along with polluting Our Air and Land.
The only “rights” they have fought for is the right to kill one another with guns and
The right to infect one another with COVID. The right for corporations to have more rights than individuals and be impossible to sue.
The right for weapons manufacturers to continue to pump out their instruments of death in spite of the fact that this is the most over armed nation on the planet.
The Right Wing only cares about giving tax breaks to the already rich, and letting the middle class pay for everything, allowing corporations to have zero oversight,
and allowing churches to operate as Corporations while pretending to be charities.
For elections to be sham affairs that they have the right to overturn anytime they don’t like the outcome.
Small government my foot. They believe in plenty of government for poor people.
Have you read Our Constitution?
I have.
The Right Wing has crapped on most of it.
Keep believing as you do. Slavery will look good on you.

Funny. “Your point of view is flawed” - at least I didn’t speak in the manner of presenting my views as solid fact and included more of the western world in my analysis.

I didn’t give my opinion as fact, I gave actual data as fact. You need only google the things I said and see the truth to them.

You cannot prove anything to Right Wingers. Facts don’t matter. The more evidence you present the less they believe.
They cannot wait to be slaves. I myself am old and no longer care.
I do hope I live to see the outcome. I grew up baling hay and picking corn as a child.
It will be a real kick to see today’s generations in the fields wondering what happened to all their God, guns, and freedoms.
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Eh, I don’t care much. I grew up in the Bible Belt in the South where a vast majority of people are right wingers. He is admittedly not from around here and doesn’t know. It’s ok, most Americans don’t even know. I heard it daily.

The Evangelical Right is real, and they will tell you 100% that they believe their god comes before the constitution. This isn’t made up, this is real. The push for people to become Christians overrides whatever the Constitution says. This is why they vote against gay marriage and the like.

I can’t blame him for not knowing. But nothing I am saying here is opinion. I could go on to a FB page right now where those same people will tell you god before country. Bible before country. You can literally google it and watch youtube videos of people making this claim. It’s no secret.

I wish I were making it up, but here’s proof:

If you’re not a Christian American, that should scare the heck out of you.

I feel ya’, I was born In Hot Springs Arkansas.
The fake evangelicals crack me up. They believe that whatever they are doing is fine
with God cause they asked him and He said so.
Other people, now that’s a different story. God told them they need to stick their noses in everyone else’s business. (For their own good of course.)
Their God tends to say whatever they need to hear in order to justify whatever they may be doing.

That perfectly goes to show you don’t know anything.

  • Guns: without them the government has far more power. Guns give the people more power to overthrow the government (the reason the right to bear arms exists: to have a government that has reason to fear the people). Sure, I know guns matter less now with tanks and everything, but a population without guns is still far more easily controlled by the government than a population with them.
  • Covid: “we’re taking away your freedoms and rights, and it’s totally for your own good!”, sounds familiar? The perfect opportunity for a political party to grab control and power, and yet the right hasn’t grabbed it. But the left, they were jumping on the occassion.
  • It’s the right that taxes so much you say? Taxes have always gone up more under Democrat rule, even for the working class, than during Republican rule.

God, Mao, it’s all the same.
