Art as a media has always been a way of reflecting on real life, both in subtle and overt ways. This is not new, by any means. It’s a concept that has existed since before most modern civilizations even existed.
 
Sometimes the message is a wholly fantastical one steeped in allegory, other times it’s an incredibly overt and on the nose critique.
 
Not every video game needs to have a political message, but to say that there should be none, or that they all should avoid real life politics in their entirety is frankly fucking idiotic. It displays an incredible lack of understanding of artistic and entertainment mediums, at best, or an intentional agenda at worst.
 
Feel free to criticize individual games and devs, of course. The existence of a message in a story does not mean the story and message will be good, and it’s fine and expected to criticize that.
 
But to make stupid blanket statements like keeping all politics out of games, or that the politics should be of a wholly fantastic and illusory sort is just plain dumb.

You know, if you don’t like that kind of games, all you have to do is not play them. I’m sure there are plenty of other games where you can find your escapism.  
If developers want to insert agenda into their games, that’s their prerogative. Ultimately, the only criteria they care about to confirm whether that’s a good idea or not is the sales numbers: market logic dictates that unsuccessful products be dropped, so if those games are as unwelcome as you make them to be, what do you have to worry about?

This BlackRock head fund is an existential threat to the wellbeing of millions of Americans and their leadership should be rounded up as national security threats.
 
A multinational company with foreign interests buying up huge swaths of US land wholesale, well above asking price, for the purpose of market destabilization, how can that not be considered an out right threat to the nation?

I propose a change, if a game contains irl political topics it should be labeled so that those that are not interested can avoid it, like the UK system seen here or the ESRB system.

If its a game that’s considered “art” like Dear Esther or Gone Home that should be labeled as well since they are so terrible 😋

I agree.  
Labeling your contents correctly do be the way to go. Food stuff requires that you label all the ingredients. Restaurants in Spain highly recommends labeling for possible triggers of common allergies. Would be a plus if you have vegan labels too.
 
Labeling works with “political” and “art” would help ppl avoid or be interested in it. Just like…you know, tagging. Even in hentai sites like Dlsite.jp it shows you tags like breasts, butt, rape, ntr, tentacle, scat and all other stuff that ppl may or may not want to avoid.
 
So I’m sincerely for the idea of labeling and tagging your games. No joke.

Biden In Europe: 4 Lessons - Communist
 
Tl;Dr - The Biden trip to Europe illuminates the US’s decline as the sole, or one of two super powers if prior to the nineties. Despite NATO, Biden and the US state has to exert considerably more effort for the slightest concessions from a Europe moving away from the US, as well as a rising China the makes global interdependencies far less centered on the United States.

You have all these idiot conservatives that are like “intellectuals and the educated are fascists/communists/totalitarian”. Despite the fact that one of the first things that fascist, communist, and totalitarian regimes do is murder the intellectuals because they’re the ones smart enough to see through the lies.

STOP KOSA!
I saw this claim:
 
“The Roman Empire had centuries-old traditions of diversity, science, philosophy and culture (including sexual diversity).
 
In less than a generation all that was smashed by Christianity.
 
The Christians were militant and relentless.”
 

 
Basically, it’s saying that Christianity is easily the most toxic and invasive/destructive religion there is.
 
Personally, I’d agree.

When you when you rely on Umberto Eco and he’s just fucking like “lmao you can also be anything on this list or any combination of my rules and still not be a fascist”
 
Most useless fucking definition of fascism. His worse fiction title!

It’s really not. Eco’s list is very different. Britt’s list is just “stuff I don’t like about the Bush Jr. administration”.
 
It’s all rooted in the same foundation. And that foundation is wrong.
