That was my point, we were the test run for the tech-bro oligarchy

We just had the largest set protests in history. The Republicans have followed the Putin playbook and have undermined every check and balance in our set of laws to prevent this. Most people are literally a week of being unemployed from being homeless. The shit you are seeing on the news are what the 6 billionaires that own our entire media want you to see.

On top of that the heavily armed “Americans”. You love to shove in our faces as a stereotype have been entirely propagandized into supporting the very people oppressing them.

Bad news is the same framework that fucked us is almost guaranteed to be actively working to do the same in whatever country you live in. So use us as an example and prevent this shit from happening to you early before it’s too fucking late

Didn’t the supreme court rule he couldn’t unilaterally set tarrifs?

Pretty sure his motivations are super clear,

Yea that’s true

Come on now, Zuckerberg doesn’t have 20 accounts, 12 at the most

I’m imagining a bunch of first amendment challenges to these laws

Nonono, see it’s DOD again because we aren’t at war

Man that’s a lot of political parties, have you guys ever tried just having one like us in the US? ~please help us~

This would be pre vpn or anything else you could do to protect your privacy - if it’s at the OS level it’s before the browser and VPN level

That’s not happening now, but it’s the only way the are gonna be able to to check content to make sure “ the children are safe “

This also means they are tracking all the websites you are going to.

Why not both!

It looks like they are pulling a weekend at Bernie’s

Oh man, I’ve seen FM 3 times live, honestly the best concerts I’ve ever been to - something about their music just brings out the best energy in everyone

Does it have 3$ in it and is there a Guinness in yer hand? Then welcome to the Irish me boy

Oh fuck off, out of all the fucking companies out there fucking raping the world steam isn’t one of them

Ok, EVERYONE deserves due process, hell even fucking Trump deserves due process. For fucks sake.

I’m just talking about the talking point of them taking a cut of sales, it’s the exact same as a store adding markup. A store is adding way more than 30% on most physical goods. Data storage and bandwidth are fucking expensive and 30% honestly isn’t that much.

Let’s be a bit fair, your local store selling a physical copy is also taking a cut of the other companies profits. The 30% valve charges would be just the same as GameStop/other store would be marking up the game from wholesale prices. (I still would rather have physical copies, but valve charging a percentage on each sale has always been a bs argument against them)

Just like murican Jesus intended brother!
