please post this on REE i want to see how they defend games jerknalism

Lmao this is the exact thing I’m talking about. I posted this video on /r/games and a mod removed it because it doesn’t have anything to do with gaming, apparently.

They're right, it's games media drama. They tend to purge that stuff, and good on them. It's the only reason a sub of their size is remotely readable.

"Avoiding games media drama" is just euphemism for "supporting nazis".

Your distaste for hierarchies seems incredibly juvenile. Having some sort of hierarchical system in place in order to actually manage groups of people and economic activity is a necessity. And at some point you need to sort out who is actually capable of doing a task vs who is not.

This is an absolutely insane take.

You sound like you're still in school and haven't ever had to interact with any type of large-scale organization in your lifetime, nor have you ever been the victim of violence that would require police intervention.

It's really amazing how they believe that a society without hierarchies, police and state would work when they need to cry to the mods for people hurting their feelings in a gaming forum.

Who cares what people on this forum are calling for? IGN are investigating and will take action based on their findings. Our opinion has no merit in this situation, so why even bother complaining about it? Now, if IGN find that he did indeed plagiarize (or minimize the nature of journalistic plagiarism) yet decide not to take a strong enough stance on these types of behaviors, we might have a problem. Until then, what's it to you?

"It's just a forum, our opinion doesn't matter. Unless of course IGN does something we disapprove of then our opinion suddenly does matter"

We need empty_vessel to expand his return to ERA so he can teach these reactionary fuckers like Kirblar a thing or two.

Though at one time most of PoliERA were the PoliGAF dinguses who believed in chartalism, so maybe that's the wrong way to go.

Speaking of old lovable kawaii GAF extremists, I wonder what happened to kame-sennin, now that you can search post histories without needing an account I see he disappeared off GAF in April of 2017.

It'd always be funny when all the dumb fad posters were trying to be all woke with BLM/anti-racist/anti-police lingo posts and then kame would bum rush the thread and they'd all take issue with his extremism. "Well, hold on, we don't want to actually eliminate all the racists working for the state. America, sir, is nowhere near as racist, sir, as you claim, sir."

If the news were “IGN editor murders wife” I’d agree. But the news directly involves IGN’s integrity as a news outlet (yeah I know: what integrity?). If the sub allows links to IGN content, they should also allow discussion of news that undermines it.

That still doesn't have shit to do with games though, so I don't see why they would or should make an exception given that they want news about games, not news about media.

If you wanna ask them to change their rules, then sure... I don't see that succeeding, but that's a different arguement then.

They’ve hardly been sticklers for the rules in the past. I PMed a mod several examples about “news media” that were allowed to stay up on the sub in the past (journalists leaving publications, sites shutting down etc.).

Also I read a few post on RE and Reddit about people who bought Deadcells specifically because IGN gave the game a 9.7.

Finding out the reviewer might not have played the game or barely played it is super important, dog.

The USSR brought skyrocketing literacy rates, mass employment, urbanization and development at rates unseen before.

Right before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians were on 1000 calories a day more than Americans, and were much more educated on average.

With no exaggeration, these people are sincerely the dumbest people on earth.  Obviously Americans were maintaining their weight with whatever they were eating, we know for a fact that they were not starving....so  Russians were eating 1000 more calories on top of that?  So they were gaining 2 pounds per week?


When I learned about communism in school, I remember looking at the propaganda and thinking, "What kind of idiot would fall for this shit?"   Now I have my answer.  lol "Mass employment".  Good fucking lord.

[benjipwns]

people in that thread are so weirdly hostile

Is that supposed to be a burn? That's like the whole idea.

Communists always always have funny definitions of "voluntary."

Voluntarily participate in society. Don't want to participate through labour? You don't get society. Not seeing the "funny' side of this at all.​

WHY DOES NO ONE COMMENT ON THIS GUY POSTING IN LIGHT GRAY; THEY EVEN QUOTE HIM UNCHANGED

[benjipwns]

Really? Could you be a little more revisionist, please?

If you disagree with the decision made by your fellow peers and want to obstruct its realisation, you are clearly not working for the betterment of society and are only interested in clearly selfish means (seeing as all survival needs are met easily) and should be excluded.

I'm saying this way of existing is inevitable. It'll come eventually. Conversely, I do not see the current state of global capitalism existing beyond the next 50 years and the worsening relations between classes is perfect fuel for that realisation. Right now I'd be happy if there were no more moderates in politics and 'left' political parties started bringing crushing economic inequality to the forefront in all of their policies and empowering all demographics in these societies in a real way, not wearing them like a performative jumper. But I am done with "settling" with people that refuse to see two feet outside their own door.

Trump is a symptom of the disease, it'll only get worse if we stick to centrism and ignore the glaring contradictions in our capitalist societies.​

Detailed it a few pages back. Don't wanna repeat. Basically have opportunity to work in what field you want, understand that you may have to work elsewhere on rotation. If you refuse to work at all, then a council of which everyone in the community can participate should decide the outcome and measures taken. If you are incapable of work, there will definitely be ways for you to contribute to the betterment of society pursuing one of your passions: art, literature, music, design. All of these have a purpose in society and can help improve its condition. Provided you contribute, you receive what you will need to live a good life.​

I appreciate your commentary on this. I do honestly believe that people are, not accounting for sociopaths, capable of governing themselves and mutually understanding each other in an intimate and functional way. Historically these types of civilisations flourish in wartime, but it would be great if there was a all-uniting 'event' that made people understand the dangers of both exploitative capitalism and ultra-hierarchical structures. We'll see, eh?

he's romanticizing the state during war, where historically men are conscripted and a command hierarchy is imposed nationally, and "war communism" which isn't really that aside from the effective appropriating of all property by the state as an example of a non-exploitative and non-hierarchical structure
