Eby's been slaying it. Eby for PM, says I.

Replying to my own comment. Here's the CBC article, reporting the same actual content without the vitriol... And way back in March.

Are there any less inflammatory reports on this decision? This article reads like an angry college student wrote it, not a journalist.

This is the most brain-dead monument I have ever heard of. On so, so many levels. Wtf I going on? What committee made this decision?

Not at all. The game caters so hard to PvE players. They got hoards of new content all the time. PvP content has been very, very scarce. And with the upcoming PvE only game mode... that should be proof enough how Rare is doing everything they can to keep PvE people happy. And I don't say that derisively. It's good, those people should be happy. But claiming the game is built mostly for PvPers is absolutely not a good take on the game.

What are you talking about? You don't need to listen to a damn word anyone says. Just follow the waypoints, fast travel to everything. The game is a menu navigation simulator.

I think you might be missing the point of what I am saying. I'm not suggesting that "further left" is what we need. The right-left dichotomy is just two sides of the same thing, and it's that thing that is fundamentally broken. Moving right or left does nothing to change anything. I don't think we need to move left. I think we need to throw out the whole thing. It isn't the conservatives that are the source of these bad things you're naming (white-supremacy, neofacismz intolerance, and hate). That stuffs baked into the whole colonial liberal capitalist "democracy" we have inherited. Any party that supports the continuation of that system is white supremacist, racist, fascist, etc. Our whole economic and political system IS those things. Not any single party. Some just own up to it better (like the conservatives). But liberals and the NDP, too, fundamentally support our democratic and economic systems. But those systems are foundationally to be blamed. We can't tweak them to be better. We can't fix the foundationally exploitative nature of capitalism. It's a feature, not a bug. And we can't tweak the Westminster style of parliamentary government to be less racists or discriminatory. That's in-built. It's what indigenous groups have been saying for decades (centuries?).

Back to my original point, lots of voices in here saying don't support the conservatives. And, I mean, I agree. They suck. But they all suck. They all wanna perpetuate the nonsense. Sure, some wanna perpetuate it in "nicer" or "more inclusive" ways. But no one actually wants to CHANGE anything. They just wanna tweak and adjust and manage the foundational problems of our systems. So, conservative or not, they're all perpetuating hate and discrimination and poverty and authoritarianism. My point wasn't "don't vote NDP" or "vote conservative". My point was anyone who actually wants change doesn't have a voice. There is no party advocating for change.

I hear you. But I think both are equally damaging, ultimately. One party might accelerate the process, and the other may drag the damage out over decades. But we end up in the same place.

And, just spitballin' here, maybe an accelerated view of how destructive liberal capitalism is may be exactly what Canadians need to jolt us out of our world-renowned complacency. I dunno what it'll take to get Canadians fired up enough to seek actual change. Clearly raging forest fires, a housing crisis, a health care crisis, drug addition crisis, rampant depression and anxiety, rampant inflation, ballooning cost of living, and political corruption (both domestic and foreign) isn't enough. So, maybe shit needs to get even worse before it gets better. Aka. Vote in the conservatives?
