Okay so I’d like you to take a few minutes to Google previous immigration waves to the US, and the strife they caused in both a cultural and economic sense.
Just because things worked out eventually doesn’t mean there weren’t extreme issues getting there.
Are you even American? This is something the vast majority of Americans know from both an educational and family history perspective.
You know the US isn’t the only country that has issues due to letting in more immigrants than they can handle right? You are stating a position that would be considered radical in virtually every western nation as if it were an established fact.
Inflation and immigration were both at like 40 year highs. Also not only did a large number of billionaires favor Harris, but Harris won the majority of American households making over 200k per year.
Quit it with this gaslighting shit.
The AP is headquartered in NYC. They write their articles in American English. They spend a wholly disproportionate time covering US news, and the closest relationships they have are with US institutions. The author of this article has an American education at a state-managed university.
The national language of Denmark is Danish. 15 percent of the nation doesn’t even speak English.
This is 100 percent an article meant for US audiences, from a primarily US news organization.
A danish news organization will have articles about what Danes think of tariffs. The same with a Canadian news organization, a German one, etc. Yet for some reason almost all of what American sources talk about is what citizens of other countries think.
I think the fact that American establishment publications put out more articles about what citizens of other countries think of tariffs than what Americans think of tariffs is part of the reason why Trump won.
The upper 10 percent of liberal America seems to think of themselves as citizens of the world, and seems to spend more time caring about anything other than Americans outside their hyper-specific socioeconomic niche.
The end result of this mentality is that Trump was able to make huge inroads with groups that were historically democrat’s bread and butter in 2024. Even if he was lying through his teeth, he and his team made real efforts to appeal to issues that were important for demographics.
I’m willing to bet you could find people from Hawaii to Mississippi altering their spending habits in fear of Trump’s tarrifs. Maybe the press should spend more time reporting on them.
Obviously, neither Trump nor MAGA is the answer. However there needs to be a way to talk with how out of touch so much of our establishment is without sounding like a Trump supporter.
I feel like they need to break this down by age a lot more than they do.
In today’s day and age, it’s perfectly normal for a parent to offer significant financial support to their 20 year old child. While adulthood technically begins at 18, society is structured in a way that encourages some form of education/training through the rest of our teens and early twenties. A lot of this time adults in that situation will be setting themselves up for success, but not in a position where they currently have meaningful income. Parents helping out enables them to lay the groundwork for being independent later on in life.
On the flipside a 30 year old receiving relying on their parents is a wtf moment 9/10.
Another consideration is independent adults moving in with their parents for the purpose of acting as a caregiver. While that’s a problem for society, it’s a completely different problem than adults needing parental contributions to survive.
I feel like all these decisions don’t mean anything until the justice department case resolves.
I mean yeah honestly a huge part of European national identities seems to be getting subsumed by philosophies that originated and primarily exist in the US.
I’d imagine that Trump serves as a wake up call in regards to that stuff, but at the end of the day I’m not French.
The only time I’ve heard of “bury your gays” was Voltron, which IMO was a good series that was murdered by a fandom that resented it for not being their personal self insert fan fiction.
Look man this “grown adult acting like a middle school bully” thing worked on reddit in 2019 because everyone was terminally online and you’d be backed up by twenty plus commenters hurling vitriol.
It’s 2025. There are maybe 15 people total interacting with this post. I have a life in a way that was impossible during the covid era.
Grow up.
Sure, but the vast majority of people realize what’s going on if an IP starts rambling on about freedom, Jesus, or the thin blue line. You can make comments about those things being transparent pandering and the overwhelming majority of people will just believe you.
Meanwhile up until recently that wasn’t really true with liberal pandering, and it still isn’t in a lot of spaces.
One thing to note is that I disagree with you on using Chick-fil-A as an example. They are true believers when it comes to this stuff, and half their claim to fame is being good to such an extent that liberals eat there anyway.
The difference between actual diversity revolves around tokenization, flanderization, homogenization, and of course gaslighting.
“culture war” minority characters are often inserted into narratives where they don’t quite fit, are often one dimensional characters, and often all act in a certain way based off their race/gender/sexuality combo, and are often inserted to gaslight anyone who has an issue with the low quality of the underlying product into thinking all criticism is bigoted.
It’s the last point that both you and Ubisoft are leveraging right now. If they replaced Yasuke with some burly Japanese dude, the entire discourse would be centered around how this game is a mid-at-best title for way too much money.
Instead asshole stans like you come out of the woodwork to push a narrative that most negative criticism centered around bigotry.
There are plenty of IPs with minority characters that don’t get shit on, because both the IP and the characters are actually good.
Enjoy your $70 mid-fest.
Okay so explain to me why things like Spiderverse and Baldur’s Gate receive nearly ubiquitous acclaim in ways Snow White and Assassins Creed doesn’t.
It’s a giant scam to get people to defend low effort mediocre content.
It worked for a while, because there was 100 percent a subset of people who just bought games because of social media hype. The combination of the changing media landscape and economic environment has resulted in this falling apart.
Look if you can’t tell the difference between actually well designed games with a diverse cast and Ubisoft crap number 12 then that’s on you.
I feel like a huge portion of corporate America has adopted the following strategy:
Like at this point it’s on me for engaging with these posts I guess.
Would this deportation have happened under a Harris administration?
Rashida Thalib low-key wanted Trump to win lol. Her sister was the president of the uncommitted movement, which called for liberals to sit out in 2024 or vote for Jill Stein. She herself refused to endorse Harris.
Dude should have just added comments indicating that the code was part of some security test but was unfinished and extremely dangerous.
Change a few file names, add a comment how it will never run under normal circumstances, and you’ve got plausible deniability.
This is the repeated part right here. If this article was primarily targeted towards Denmark, it wouldn’t be written in American English. You danced around that point. English is a second language for Denmark. An article targeted at Danes would be in Danish.
You’re a manipulative POS.
