Oh no the failson is running out of other people’s money, pretend I have the world’s tiniest violin playing the saddest song.

Parasocial relationships are strong indicators of banal people that should be avoided.

Hey guys did you know I’m a good person? I used to like $Celebrity, but then I found out they did $problematic, so now I don’t like them. This cost me nothing, and no one would know but I feel the need to tell you. Aren’t I a good person?

Why do you care about fringe ideologies? They are an insignificant part of the US’s support for Israel, and you may as well argue how many Angles can fit on the head of a pin. It’s not going to be consistent, there is no point where even if you find a Christian Nationalist Zionist, that you will be able to convince them that their interpretation of their religion is wrong.

We don’t “desperately” need more EVs. But if you want more domestically produced EVs for some reason, you nationalize the auto-industry and mandate them. Tariffs in capitalism just mean that the protected industries increase profits on the same or even less supply.

Would you sa some protetive tariffs should be placed upon hexbear content?

The people worried about “losing an election” are paid by the people who profit from the broken system. The communism fear is a strawman that liberals use to excuse their worthless party.

Slavery was always inefficient compared to just paying starvation wages and leaning on immigration to replenish the labor pool. Using inmates is a win/win as you still get to pay starvation wages, but now you don’t even have to worry about work-place organization, caring and feeding, and it’s constitutionally protected.

It’s also conflating guns and abortion, which is some real liberal shit.

Tell me what the “government scrutiny” is then! I have no idea except that Vietnamese game developers find it onerous. It’s a video game, how much scrutiny does it need?

I don’t think steam is doing that the government of vietnam isn’t claiming they are banning steam for that reason. What is happening is that the government of vietnam is actively hurting their domestic video game developers because they have instituted onerous “government scrutiny” whereas if you want to publish on Steam it costs like $150 and an email address.

The problem solely lies with the Vietnamese government, as a self-inflicted problem, no where else.

So if I publish a game on steam I am now a colonizer? If I am a Vietnamese citizen who downloads a game that hasn’t gone through “government scrutiny” am I now a collaborator? What if I am a Vietnamese game developer that has published directly to steam without giving a shit about whatever censorship my government is trying to implement? Should I be sent to reeducation?

Ah Of course. It is impossible to criticize any actions taking place by any entity against a capitalist entity without defending capitalism yourself. Cehckmate liberals.

I don’t think that is reasoning for banning steam, especially considering that many games on steam aren’t DRMd at all.

It’s absolutely not. If you are at any kind of scale whatsoever, your yearly spend will be a minimum of 2x at a cloud provider rather then creating and operating the same system locally including all the employees, contracts, etc.

Sounds like the problem here is the “government scrutiny” not steam.

Whenever I see a person blaming Russian’s and Bots for going against their narrative, I know I’ve found a liberal. When someone else entertaining the option and suggesting the people downvoting the liberal are in the wrong, well it looks like I found two liberals.

Liberals can’t see beyond the next election (myopic). They also can’t see the results of 30 years of “voting blue no matter who,” so they lack the ability to learn.
Meanwhile leftists have been saying since Marx that Capitalism is the problem, and voting for your favorite color of Capitalism isn’t beneficial to anyone but the Capitalist system. So yes there are that many myopic people, like yourself, who will not only vote for blue capitalism over literally any other action, but they will also come to explicitly leftists spaces and browbeat others to do the same.

They are called liberals.

Progress so far

The South African government has started reforms to stimulate private investment in renewable energy infrastructure and establish a competitive electricity market. Before this, independent power producers had to go through a detailed, often lengthy process to get a generating licence.

The government has removed licensing requirements for independent power producers, making it easier for them to launch and manage energy projects of any size. This aims to attract more independent producers to the energy market, fostering investment and innovation.

Ah privatization, I’m sure it will work this time.
