Meta, long thread
@FediFollows Pfft appreciate the work you do, a bit of conversation isn't the end of the world, personally...
@DudeNamedBen Seems like a legitimate criticism of Trump, though it's ironic considering that the left accused him of being anti-Semitic, and also they're now actively against israel because the palestinians have more melanin.

People get pissed off at me for saying the woke left is the new religious right, but it is. Religious people got defamed by the political religious right, and now progressive people are being defamed by the political woke left. And tomorrow, it will be something else that's popular, and that group will become powerful and hated for a short time too before being cast aside like a used tissue.

I wrote a couple weeks ago about opportunity briefly inside one of my essays. It made me realize that one of the talking points of the right is incorrect.
Equality of outcome is evil, yes.
Equality of opportunity is impossible and stupid. We don't want that.
Opportunity is something that comes about serendipitously. Maybe you and your neighbor get together and both realize you can do something because you each have specific skills or resources to do a thing. You can't give someone else that opportunity because they don't have the same skills or resources to do a thing.
What we should be fighting for is *equality of process*. If those two neighbors go off to do something they shouldn't be turned down because they're not white enough or not black enough or not straight enough or not gay enough. You should be given the same shake to realize your opportunities as anyone else.
The left calls equality of process racism, because they're racists who think anyone who isn't a white straight male is inferior and incapable of achieving anything. Just people should scream from the rooftops about this evil state of affairs.

@FBICatgirl @Kronometri I get a kick out of it because the intersectionality thing is where you see that white people made this shit up.
"BLACK LIVES MATTER!" "YEAH!"
"WE NEED REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY!" "YEAH!"
"WE LOVE HOMOS!" "Hol' up..."

@alex Got my instance of soapbox-fe looking the way I like it! Pretty nice one I'm settled in.
@zerohedge Florida is doing a lot of good things lately, but they're still florida. I can absolutely believe that Florida man built some condos.
@disclosetv "I didn't do fuck-all when I was president, but now that I'm the most deplatformed person on the planet, I can definitely do something!"
@tpostmillennial One talking point of the left is that "truth isn't a defense to misinformation". If the truth isn't a defense to what you consider misinformation, then maybe it isn't misinformation.
@Mitsu Getting my second dose of the untested experimental vaccine in a couple hours.
Not fully convinced they'll give us back our fundamental human rights, but on the upside we'll at least have all sorts of terrible side effects 10 years from now. Thalidomide babies for everyone!

@SONICMAN69 @Eris @GeorgeSoros @Sterence GTA V has sold 145 million copies. All it takes is a $10 average price and you're over a billion. The average price is likely considerably more than that.
@SONICMAN69 @Eris @GeorgeSoros @Sterence they sand off all the interesting or risky bits because it's a billion dollar project and you can't afford to risk failure when you've got loot boxes to sell
@GeorgeSoros @Eris @SONICMAN69 @Sterence games don't age but they're a product of their time. Even a game with a big team isn't the insanely polished focus tested all the tiniest rough bits sanded off experience we have today.
Frankly I think it's better that way. Too much polish and everything starts looking like plastic.

@Eris @Sterence @GeorgeSoros @SONICMAN69 I played vi a couple years ago when I was on planes for 16 hours a week. Great game imo but it's a game from 1995 and if someone wants something other than a game from 1995 they'll be disappointed.
