Honestly, this is my biggest problem with liberalism. No one is allowed to opt out. No matter how little their current cause du jour has to do with you, you're not allowed to keep your mouth shut even in the name of peace and avoiding offending anyone. They allow no refuge. There is no "safe space" from their outrage. You can't have any hobby or interest that allows you to just turn off politics for so much as a moment of brief respite.
It's beyond, "If you aren't with us, you're against us". It's, "If you aren't constantly kissing our feet and telling us how great we are and how horrible everyone else is, you must be destroyed".
Ah, that's the scene on the holodeck. Yeah, he used a Thompson machine gun. It's a good scene, too! First Contact is really the best of the Star Trek films.
Bonus: a clip that seems to be an homage to Rambo III.
My biggest problem is the NEVERENDING DISINGENUITY.
These people either don't have a single honest fiber in their entire bodies or they're the dumbest motherfuckers on the face of the planet.
Like you legitimately need to be actually retarded to jump to the conclusion that not virtue signalling against police brutality (Or is it racism? Asking because we still don't know if the cop in question is racist or not) is somehow "white supremacy".
These dumbasses really believe that treating black people specially is somehow not racism.
literally listened to LZ Granderson articulate this explicitly on ESPN radio this morning. paraphrasing from memory: "people now realize we have to get off this soft 'I'm not racist' stuff, like nah, brah, that don't cut it no more - what's necessary is for people to be anti-racist"
Notice the blatant bullshit manipulation? Not "Epic Games" and "Valve", but Epic and White Supremacy! Could you be any dumber or more obvious? Heartwarming and encouraging to see over 90 freakin' percent aren't buying it and will NOT be intimidated, manipulated or bullied.
Quick! Buy Valve stock -- it's about to skyrocket; and sell Epic now -- you're about to take a bath.
Valve is an actual private corporation. They don’t trade their stock publicly, which is why they’ve been able to #resist political pressure from the woke factions so effectively. The day they announced their easing of content guidelines a miniature saltmine opened up in what is left of the game journo sphere.
I honestly was disappointed to find that out, but then I realized yeah, they are able to, at the very least, preserve their dignity by not having shareholders force them into dumb shit like this. Given that their area is historically Dem voting I can see most of them being so, but I honestly hope this experience helps their employees that are left-leaning change their tune
On the opposite end, Chi-com Tencent owns 40% of Epic's shares, so.. yeah...
I'm just happy that Tesla is public and still keeps some integrity. I made a lot of profit from their stocks during this (several thousands, but I honestly pulled out immediately after the rocket went up simply because I reached my set goal and my nerves were too shot to keep it in further. Stock trading gets hella stressful the more you put in)
Im glad Steam didnt take a stance on the bs. They are a gaming platform and the best one at that! Epic games is a complete failure that only exists becuase of fortnight. Not long before that game take a dive; it already has. When i play games that i want to do just that play a game not see some political garbage in my face.
They're little boys. They lean whichever direction their parents do for now. My son is hard right and hates the dems but that's all because of my exemplary parenting. I don't interact with his friends to a level beyond "hello" or "who wants pizza" kinda chat.
Epic Games buying exclusivity deals with publishers is the most anti-competitive, anti-consumer bullshit I've seen with gaming as of late, even worse than selling games with less content and then selling the rest as "DLC." I've had to wait for or just flat out pass on games I've wanted to play purely to avoid giving Epic any money and letting Steam take a bigger cut so that the publishers that take these exclusivity deals get as little of my money as possible. FTC really needs to take a look into this shenanigans.
Never giving CCP Epic games another American cent. Steam, and Gog, especially Gog, the Polish anti-SJW company that they are.
If any pede are getting Cyberpunk 2077, get it from the Gog store and support CDPR, the most anti-SJW AAA games company I know of that exists right now.
In order to reach a ‘wider audience’ creative assembly is making their next Total War game, Troy, Epic exclusive! To reach a wider audience, they’re using one of the most hated stores in gaming!
Then the gameplay trailer came out and we learned why. Troy is probably gonna be a piece of shit and Creative Assembly just wanted that exclusivity deal to get some money from this dumpster fire.
Never stated they were going anywhere i stated they are a failure. Their biggest titles can be found on Steam except fortnight. They even sell GTA on their launcher yet Steam has it (which Epic handed out for free just a couple weeks ago). Companies like EA are even moving all their titles to Steam, MS has realized Steam is where the money is on PC not their Microsoft store. Epic launcher will fail. Their games will always be on their launcher but will never sell like on Steam. No one wants additional launchers.
I'm confident that a huge number of normies are getting redpilled by shit like this. They won't speak up and they won't answer a pollster's phone call.
They'd better vote in November like their life depends on it. Because it does.
They won't speak up and they won't answer a pollster's phone call.
Oh, I absolutely do not answer unsolicited phone calls, much less where someone might ask me political questions. Especially in modern cancel-culture, people should be concerned about some random asshole that calls them out of nowhere asking questions that might inflame your typical SJW.
I am sure many of those voting for the second choice are POC. I am sure 100 percent of those voting for Epic games are all white and live with their parents. They probably took a screen shot and sent it to the one black person they know on facebook to let them know they care.
My laptop came with this launcher and a few free games. Uninstalled and hopefully gone. This gay Latino (that gets me bonus points in their world, yeah?) is no longer either now according to Senile Joe, so is he therefore for conversion therapy? Is that how it works?
Sarcasm aside, I just wanted to be left alone and live my life. I don't hurt innocent people. Why is this so difficult for these cultists to understand?
I canceled my humble monthly i've had since they started it.. even bought their first bundle way back in the day.. they succumbed and went woke last week.
It doesn't help since you're expected to have decent internet in order to download day-one patches
Best bet is GOG.com which is the closest to legal DRM-free you can get. From the Polish studio of Witcher, Gwent and upcoming Cyberpunk.
The only drawback is many co-op games on there aren't on the same multiplayer server as Steam, so it would require friends to run the GOG edition as well. You can determine this quickly from reviews
Their GOG Galaxy beta client is outstanding: unifying the launch of games and their required launchers from Blizzard to Steam (around 15 platforms)

Indoctrination must be absolute.
You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Assimilate THIS!
I thought that would be the clip where Picard mag dumps the borg with a .45 drum mag.
Ah, that's the scene on the holodeck. Yeah, he used a Thompson machine gun. It's a good scene, too! First Contact is really the best of the Star Trek films.
Bonus: a clip that seems to be an homage to Rambo III.
And will be measured in ohms.

Stop using logic. They only use logic to manipulate us, for no other purpose. Their only goal is power.
ah, ah, ah, logic is a privilege
what i can stand and i am not even black is portraying blacks as victims all the time.
jesus christ get some self respect
Because it's not liberalism and should never be branded as such. It is Marxism
You're right, though I generally use "collectivism" because it encompasses the whole shebang.
Post modern liberalism...it is no longer enough to not be racist, you have to be actively anti-racist.
At least that is the policy they apply to others. For them it is implied that it is fine to be racist as long as you support anti-racism.
Just look at their history to confirm that and look at the present to confirm it again. (governor Black face)

Needs scare quotes around "anti-racism", because in practice it's anything but.
Authoritarianism, in short
gamers have known a long time
Ever since Gamergate in 2012
Gamergate was 2015.
oh..... :)
Was the anita sarkeesian ‘video games are ALL sexist’ thing involved in gamergate too?
The cucks on Polygon banned me a few days ago because I compared BLM and Antifa to the KKK. They really didn't like that.
Indeed, and Valve knows EXACTLY where their bread is buttered, which is why they remain silent.
Valve is mute about everything, half the time no one knows they released a new game until gamers realize its out and tell each other about it.
Hell, they barely did anything for Halflife Alyx, their system-seller for VR, other than drop a trailer lol
Imagine my pleasure when I opened Steam the other day and saw zero mentions of BLM.
GLM, gamers lives matter
Thank god gamergate happened as a preview practice run for the 2020 insanity.

all of my son's friends (8-9-10 yos) call Fortnite gay. The franchise is about to take a huge hit
They're little boys. They lean whichever direction their parents do for now. My son is hard right and hates the dems but that's all because of my exemplary parenting. I don't interact with his friends to a level beyond "hello" or "who wants pizza" kinda chat.
YAY, SUNNY D!

I agree, it's better if businesses do not get involved in politics.

How dare they not bow to the altar of THE GREAT GEORGE FLOYD
How dare they not bow to the altar of BLACK LIVES MATTER !!
SHAME ! SHAME ! SHAME !

A felon got a state funeral in a gold casket like he was Charlemagne lmao
WE WUZ KANGZ N SHIEEEET
Lawng liv Kang George da furst
George Floyd can suck my fucking balls the women beating cunt.
People are so sick of this shit
They like to divide...they now got the real divide. Them and everyone else - sick of it.
I'm confident that a huge number of normies are getting redpilled by shit like this. They won't speak up and they won't answer a pollster's phone call.
They'd better vote in November like their life depends on it. Because it does.

I really want a polster to call me. I’m just so eager to spew sjw talking points and really fuck with the numbers!
Tencent owns 40% of Epic Games.
China is asshoe --> Epic Games is asshoe.
It’s simple science
Do...Do they not know Alyx Vance isn't white? And that Valve just made a game about her?
Whaaaa???
Hahaha.... now make half life 3 or left for dead 3 please.
Or portal 3....shame valve cant count past three
Apparently they can't count TO 3.
Oh yes good call, forgot about portal.
I'd take Portal 3 over any other game. It was perfection for its time.
I am sure many of those voting for the second choice are POC. I am sure 100 percent of those voting for Epic games are all white and live with their parents. They probably took a screen shot and sent it to the one black person they know on facebook to let them know they care.
Heads up, it's a troll account. Still funny tho.

Thank you, remember boys and girls, we are not under communist reddit rule anymore, so feel free to share links like this
So much for #metoo
Epic game store is owned by the Chinese so of course they are tickled pink by what BLM is doing
Not really accurate. Tim Sweeney owns the controlling stake.
So you're saying that the Chinese have pedo-dirt on Tim Sweeney?
That doesn't really make sense... if they had pedo-dirt on him they'd be the controlling stakeholders, not him.
That was the point............
Still wouldn’t trust anyone that does business with that CCP proxy tencent
That's fair. Just pointing out that Tencent doesn't really control Epic Games since they are a minority share holder.
Fuck epic games
Gamergate is the reason President Trump is in the white house.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Happening to me - My friends say I'm acting peculiarly - C'mon baby - We better make a start - You better make it soon before you break my heart
China 8.5% America 91.5% I approve of these results.

I identify as a yellow white supremacist for the purpose of this poll
I canceled my humble monthly i've had since they started it.. even bought their first bundle way back in the day.. they succumbed and went woke last week.
Gamers are largely based. Unfortunately they are generally forced to choose between cucked mega corporations to get their content.
Valve has always been a breath of fresh air. They are the reason I own a crowbar
CNN: Poll shows 96% of gamers are white supremacists.
Let's all message Valve and tell them not to take sides, but to renain vigilant
Team Fortress 2 is still a great game. Needs a heavy update though.
That page is a troll page and most of the followers are in on the joke. JournalistEW.... JEW
Top kek
Glad I support steam. Epic don't support linux either. It's sad to watch all the pandering out there.
Though to be fair most pc people already hated epic over valve.
Guys, this is a parody account.
Lol
DO NOT FUCKING DOWNLOAD EPIC GAMES STORE.
Anyway I mean I'm not going to say Valve won't say anything. They aren't a based company and have said some retarded shit in the past.
The users may be getting pissed off but the companies dont fucking care.
It doesn't help since you're expected to have decent internet in order to download day-one patches

Friends of Journalism? More like FASCIST MOB.
Companies that are silent, are, because they don't need to suddenly profess support for something they have always supported.
What companies think they're saying by virtue signalling: We support black people!
What companies are actually saying: We didn't support black people until now!
Hate to be that guy, guys, but this a parody channel, like the Bee. That's like dropping the poll in here.
People can only be called evil villains for so long before they decide to don that mantle and go with it.
People are done. Clean up your neighborhood and stop the violence and racism will end.
It’s called being fed up with commie claptrap BULLSHIT. Count me in.
Please tell me ‘friendsofjournalism’ is a satire account, I seriously can’t tell anymore.
