Most people over here are pro-returning artifacts. It's just that it's a common anti-British talking point and not many people actually have the agency affect what happens with the artifacts, so eventually it just gets frustrating to hear about all the time.

Progress isn't a competition, there need not be losers. We can acknowledge two things being bad at the same time. As we type there are children being forced to mine toxic cobalt with no protection just so we can have these electronics to argue. How can we argue our lives are any bad compared to them? Might as well put off anyone's progress until we finally beat out the modern salve trade. It's a unproductive way of thinking.

Do you think a newborn "white male" as your oppressor too? Someone who has never had the chance to do anyone wrong? Must they really be subject to your scorn?

And what of the white men today? If they gain nothing from your progress, then why must they be concerned with it? After all you seem to think that white men as a class have the ability to crush others with their privilege. How could we expect these people to work in the interest of a movement that only seeks to take from them indiscriminately? And wouldn't it be natural for them to simply follow the example that you have given them? Be wrathful, spiteful, hateful, boil down human beings to their perceived class, do anything to get a win for their own group. Hell just look at the news, abortion rights are being repealed in America. This is happening in real time, and I promise you neither of us are happy about it.

Socioeconomics can say whatever it wants about groups and demographics and "numbers this" or "numbers that", that doesn't change the fact that we are individuals in a world of many other individuals. Privilege, true and quantifiable privilege, is always relative and we should listen when people tell us about their problems, since it will encourage and empower them to do the same.

We can together to build a world that's better for everyone, but that requires that we don't waste our lives away trying to hold each other down out of a need for revenge. Every step we take for ourselves or our own perceived group is a step backwards, and it'll be our children who will have to make up for that. Do you care for the next generation, and what you'll leave them to deal with?

Nobody is arguing for "elevation", nobody in their right state of mind anyway, and I'm not asking anyone to turn their cheek to anyone wrong doings done to them. However, when it's men who feel wronged you ask them to turn the other cheek. Man up. Deal with it.

The fact of the matter is it's exactly this dogmatic rejecting of men that pushes them towards people like Andrew Tate. If the progressive zeitgeist refuses to listen to someone, they will follow anyone else who will. We shouldn't tolerate the intolerant, but if we truly seek to defeat it we must understand it and treat the systemic issues that cause it to arise. It's not the romantic ideal of the rebel taking down the empire in a victorious display of self-satisfaction, but it is the method that gets lasting results.

I've never stood on anyone's heads, least of all yours. I'd appreciate it if you could at least treat the next generation with the same respect.

Ignoring the issues people face becuase they come from what you determine to be a "privileged" class is just another form of bigotry.

Young men don't stand to benifit from the same patriarchal systems we do, nor do we stand to benifit from the patriarchal systems our fathers did. And even if it did, one privileged doesn't nullify the issues faced by other inequalities such as race, wealth, class, ability.

The issues they face are real reguardless of what privilege they have or are assumed to have.

Equality should be about giving every individual a fair chance at life regardless of who they are or what they came from. Not some team sport where "one side" must be crushed under to goosestep of self proclaimed progress seekers.

Backwards thinking.

Andrew Tate isn't creating these young men out of well adjusted people.

Young men today face a mountain of issues with zero sympathy from the people or institutions around them. And grifters prey on these men.

Having grown up in the "teach boys not to rape" era of progrssive rhetoric, it's actually insane to see all these people just insist being in a guy's world is all sunshine and rainbows and all these men are just awful people falling of their own accord.

Young men get told some pretty damaging things growing up, even from progressive people.

Everyone has problems, lots of people are coming of age all kinds of fucked up, and we can't fix this by implying it's all their own doing.

It does for software becuase when somthing gains enough marketshare it then becomes somthing that businesses start to consider as a general option.

Like the reason Adobe gets by despite the culture for just pirating their software is becuase even piracy gives market share, and Adobe products are so commonly used that corporations feel obliged to use Adobe licences in their projects.

First we'd need to ask what could a cloak or cape provide for the modern man that jackets and coats don't already do while giving the wearer free movement of their arms?

The cape's association with wealth and nobility is also hurt by the fact that the upperclasses these days are more interested in appropriating the style of lower class people (I.e. pre-distressed jeans) to try and appear as more down to earth.

Why risk experiencing somthing potentially bad when you can get all your opinions second hand?

Alright bean soup enjoyer.

People really do love to try and tie every world issue into one thing, when the fact of the matter is that things like "the patriarchy" or "capitalism" are just tools of the oppressor and not the oppressor themselves.

It doesn't matter what ideology you run a society with if the people are the top are all shortsighted, self interested ideologues.

People accosiate monarchs with oppression for a reason.

Like yeah capitalism in it's current state us the cuase of a lot of problems, but the inevitable communist revolution isn't going to do much about the crushing expectations society puts on men.

Everytime I think rich kids must feel bad for inequality, I remember how easy it is for them to cure their own guilt with the small platitudes of progressivism that won't at all effect the system that empowers them to our detriment.

Shout out to the guy wading though TF2's spaghetti code to achive this.

I don't think Japanese people spend as much time thinking about the west as you think.

Maybe "pretentious cinematic thrid person action game" and "buggy eSports 2000s nostalgia bait" games just don't appeal to people in Japan as much as it does in the west.

ARMS is so underrated

Mario Kart is just a fun and accessible racing game.

It's crazy to think that people are still making new games on Unity after it's been made painfully obvious that the company is in the corporate downward spiral of enshittification.

Facts don't always say what you want them too. Options can easily be curated for on the other hand.

It's not like remainers ever put up a convincing argument prior to losing the referendum.

Turned voting age on the referendum, visited our predominantly working class school, only ever brought up cheaper phone calls abroad as to why they should vote to remain.

Brexit only had pull out the weakest reasons to leave becuase they were the only ones who took the referendum seriously.

They're a social media site, brand is incredibly important.

Nobody is job networking on reddit, nobody is dating on LinkedIn, and nobody keeping in touch with their highschool friend's on Tinder.

The brand dictates how you use the business model. Onlyfans tired to pivot away from cyber-prostitutes but couldn't beciase that is their brand.
