  • He acknowledges that work in the writing, saying that there are others that who had laid out the arguments about class conflict better than him. The "facing it with brutal honesty" he was referring to was shooting a CEO in the street. Not writing anarchist newspapers and starting leftist collectives. And again, his perspective is clearly from the last decade or two when this kind of action is happening even less in the U.S.

  • 1920? A horse drawn carriage bomb lol. Surely and clearly he was talking about modern day. Dudes 26, been remotely conscious for like 15 years maybe, people have grown complacent.

  • Unless he was a pro assassin and survivalist. The option I would go with is a trusted friend (not family member) outside of the state that he could live with in their basement or something while growing a beard and somehow his general look.

  • You're right that a nicer solution sounds swell. If these people were prosecuted or the US people did come together to stop these predatory corporations it would be better than violence.

    But at this point it's a trolley problem. I mean I can only assume that part of your issue is that it's more abstracted. If you were with this billionaire CEO driving a trolley car, and he was running it full steam at a pile of tied up sick people on the train track and the only way for you to stop him was to push him off the moving train and grab the breaks yourself I would hope the "right" thing to do would be clear whether you could bring yourself to do it or not.

  • So when the person murdering people and their company aren't prosecuted. And after decades and decades and decades blue and red have not united to walk the streets and stop the healthcare scam what is your solution?

    Cause right now your solution seems to be in favor of the dude murdering more people...

  • The wisdom of streams is simple.

    I do shit with my life other than gaming. If I want to experience a cool game without spending the money and without investing the time to get good at the game, it's a no-brainer to watch a playthrough done by a professional gamer and a professional live commentator like the best streamers are.

  • Yeah that's why I say it's good for a laugh. If a game is nearly impossible to get a decent score in, it can't been taking itself too seriously. You're meant to sit back and watch the master Sherlock Holmes do his thing and nail the mystery. Often it's fun and you get some "oh yeah" moments where he points out a detail that makes a lot of clues click, but sometimes the leaps in logic are just unhinged. Also there was another mystery I remember distinctly where in order to get the correct line, you had to have some random bit of trivia knowledge about Sherlock-era English style cause it was based on someone's hat.

    Now that I write this, I bet there's a lot of fun bits for people who have read all of the Sherlock books and "get" the logic of that world.

  • Lol Sherlock Holmes consulting detective is probably fun as a single player game, but we played it as a party game (cause it said you could do that) and the result is just chaos.

    We got on what we were pretty sure was the right track and got into some rabbit holes, brought it back to Sherlock and he basically told us to fuck off and die and we earned negative points. I think we got one part of one of his answers and didn't even visit most of the places that would have given us at least a few answers.

    Great for a laugh though.

  • When they need you: they come over to your place, share a meal and a good time.

    When you need them: You sit alone at home, not making any effort to reach out and not going to their house like they did yours, instead stewing in your own bitterness.
