Lots of things about American political discourse are infuriating, but this is def one of the worst. Republic administrations are so much worse for inflation that it’s almost laughable to see this opinion shared around. Kind of wild how politics is all vibes and memes I guess.

You just listed like eight examples of minority languages being protected in Europe. What is the threshold you’re searching for here to prove that minority language and culture are, at least sometimes, treated differently in Europe? I’m in no way suggesting that these issues are being dealt with perfectly anywhere in the world, or that Europe doesn’t have plenty of examples of minority populations being mistreated, but I think it’s kind of strange to argue that China isn’t engaging in some form of ethnic cleansing. Especially when it comes to Tibet and the Uyghur people. The Chinese government is using policies like this to intentionally suppress the culture and language of minority populations.

Both things can be true; Europe has an imperfect record when it comes to treatment of ethnic minorities, and China is targeting certain ethnic minority populations under the guise of “assimilation”.

She actually has not taken AIPAC money, nor has she received an endorsement from them. I’d suggest that you do a little research before you start throwing accusations around but you know, you do you, baby!

Sure studio/publisher consolidation is trashing AAA development but I’d argue that the opposite is true of the indie scene - more and better games than ever.
I really think that the defining difference is related to empathy. Either you are wired in a way to feel empathy towards “others”, or you aren’t. Most people who identify as conservative see those others as dangerous, and are unable to relate to their experience, or to imagine shared values.

FIFA gives its new peace prize to Trump

FIFA gives its new peace prize to President Donald Trump. It’s an unusual break from tradition for the sport-focused soccer organization, whose president has become a close ally of Trump. The ceremony happened Friday during the 2026 World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center in Washington. It comes after Trump had openly campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. FIFA president Gianni Infantino had said he thought Trump should have won the Nobel this year for his efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza.

But this is the whole strategy - make noise, flood the zone with nonsense, and distract from the misery engine that’s churning through our society.
You have to seek help. It sounds like you’re dealing with serious mental health issues, and finding support from a competent professional would be the first step in feeling better. I don’t know how much it helps to hear this from a stranger on the internet, but these challenges in no way reflect on your worth as a person. It seems like you’ve been struggling with this for a long time, and you definitely deserve love and support to help you navigate these feelings. You’re not a bad person because you can’t navigate this stuff alone, you’ve been denied the support and care that would allow you to heal. Please don’t give up! Seek help, however you can.
