    Why we have to get involved in every Chinese event and politics, that’s their country and people. They will decide what’s good for them.

      I feel it coming from Reuters, but as far as me sticking my nose into everyone’s business, I learned something out of the Chinese discourse on this.

      Basically they were saying Black Desert >>> gacha. Game mechanics mindlessly focused on publisher profits are not productive, think about how the consumer, industry, workers in the industry all are affected. You can just make one shitty product make a bunch of money off virtual scarcity

      So what I’m saying is the mouthpieces of the investing class are going to try to make a big deal about the short term effects of this change on speculation but hard to refute that this is good for the entire industry

          Oh my God I keep forgetting we have Reddit here now, this rules. You’re right, it’s all disconnected. None of us are part of a whole

            The thing is how much we feel as a part of whole, china has its own reasons and logic to do things inside their country. It’s same like western marxists talking about Xinjiang and Tibet all the time without caring about how Chinese people think about these issues or how communists of china think. There is a current anti graft inspection going on in China and a bigger genocide in Gaza. I am interested in the latter.

              Entertainment industries are actually really important and a matter of national security at this point for Taiwan, Japan, South Korea losing out to China’s soft power.

              I’d feel you if someone were trying to change the subject away from Palestine, but I have not missed a chance to follow thru on the instructions from the resistance to propagandize.

              Sorry for triple reply but this is like a critical point for me. We are akin to an analysis unit for the left. I know that sounds kooky and grandiose but there is literally a thread of record that has every war crime, every blasted Merkava.

              This is one of the most important wells for me to travel to so I have material to propagandize about the ongoing genocide.
