  • I made this point in another comment but it's because you're forced to rent, even if it doesn't make sense for you. Corporate landlords have bought out all the housing and commodified it, pricing out normal people who just want to live. It's either play their game or die on the streets.

    Nobody would give a shit about renting if it were just a convenience thing, or a viable alternative to home ownership.

  • He says a lot of stuff, including a lot of stuff he shouldn't. Jokes aside, his intentions were made clear when he bought out Bukkit than proceeded to tear it apart for the crime of being a better server hosting software than the garbage they had. Pretty cut-and-dry.

    For those paying attention that was the first hint the guy might be a little bit of a nazi before he went completely mask-off on twitter.

  • The mods are shit too. I don't know what their API is like but it's clearly not good if you have this entire legacy of modded minecraft, a game which is (presumably) way better programmed and they're actively paying people to do it, yet they can barely accomplish a 10th of the quality.

    Even if they were good you'd have to interact with that horse-shit mobile game premium currency model (which absolutely should be made illegal) where you have to buy currency in packs with bigger packs having a discount and are never in sizes that are usable for a single purchase. Having to pay for mods is contentious enough as is, but putting it behind abusive MTX is going to be a deal breaker for the rest.

  • A lemmygrad user actually made a thread about this a few days ago, about how they came back from China and they were super racist at them, questioned why they had communist literature in their bag and made multiple attempts to groom them with anticommunist talking points.

    My favorite line was "Yeah China is repressive, but they never once tried to get me arrested for my thoughts" EDIT: Thread here

  • You are aware they started that narrative for two reasons: 1) To distract from the fact they were radicalizing nazis in the area and 2) to drum up justification for a war with china. The only reason it's still around despite the MOUNTAINS of evidence proving it wrong is because Americans are so fucking racist that they don't even care that it's blatantly bullshit because it gives them moral carte blanche to hate china.

  • A world where people don't have to be forced into renting is not the world we live in but is one which is worth working towards. Better you get the money to support yourself than some greedy capitalist who is the reason why housing is even a problem in the first place.

  • Decouple immoral actions from your person. That's liberalism. No self-respecting socialist would see someone stealing bread and call them immoral for the situation their material conditions forced them into. They would call the situation immoral and they would be right.

    Self-sacrifice is false consciousness and akin to moral austerity.
