Unfortunately the voting system is the only sane part about Finland. Our current government is so far right that it includes multiple literal neo-Nazis and a pedophile neo-Nazi (who stepped in to replace a neo-Nazi), and multiple ministers (well ok, a minister and the Speaker of the Parliament) have fantasized in public about murdering eg. gay people or foreigners. The Speaker of the Parliament is also one of the right wing mass murderer Breivik's idols, and has obliquely spoken in support of Breivik's act of terror.

This place is a conservative shithole and I suggest anyone considering a vacation here to go somewhere else, especially if you're not white or cishet

I’m against innocent people being killed. I’m sorry that upsets you.

You can get angry at me because I don’t like that, but that’s just another lack of compassion, and I won’t be surprised.

If you think your stance is more moral than others' and would like for people to agree with you, have you tried not being a complete cunt about it?

I have no dog in this race since I live in a country with a sane voting system, so you can spare me your performative moral outrage.

Some of the worst shitbags in the world are online proudly under their own names.

Anonymity isn't the problem. Instant mass communication between creatures with plains ape brains is the problem. We are not cognitively equipped for this shit.

Why is a flawed democracy preferable to other systems? Why are we convinced that democracy is the only way to run a society? It's not like the only other possible options are autocratic dictatorships, we just refuse to entertain the thought that maybe letting idiots decide how to run a country maybe isn't optimal

Maybe giving conservatives internet access has been a mistake.

Maybe the internet in general has been a mistake.

I guess they don't need any more reich-wing assholes

Exactly, what the heck would I do with one? Can't be very good eatin' either

They probably forced some poor, innocent algorithm to do it

I absolutely did not; it's one of the first image search hits when searching for "wasp typing on a keyboard meme"

I love this bright spark of a Josh in the comments of the article

Oh Josh, you're just delusional, there never was a Sarah Palin and that Wikipedia article is a hoax, just like the one for Bielefeld

Due to its small size and weak talons, this predatory bird relies on impaling its prey upon thorns or barbed wire for facilitated consumption

That bird is metal as fuck

Ah, an Escherhund

That's some catch, that Catch-22

Average conservative political activist

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

It's ok, you can say "cum" on the internet.

Or did you mean one of the following?

aum
bum
dum
gum
hum
lum
mum
rum
sum
tum

Looks like at least one reader agrees:
