Rock and stone, brother!
Hodor!

I reviewed the Reddit app at 1* because it honestly is a steaming pile of shit sorry excuse for an app, especially considering how long it's been in this state now without any improvement.
Dude, it'll be totally radical this time around! No psych!
The ones who stay probably do see themselves as powerless, which is a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy.
I definitely feel frustrated and saddened that people don't realise how much power they have to end this bullshit. All of these problems only work if the populous is compliant with it and complicit in it.
So much this! But many never realize it. It's so sad though how many people are well-adjusted to such a sick society.
...but most people with any shred of empathy would be pushing for that in his shoes.
Empathy? In late-stage capitalism? 😏
I mean, so... I'm a software engineer who used to specialize in automation. I ended up having a crisis of conscience decades back, realizing that I was putting people out of work. "Hey, good job on that project, our client can afford to let 30 people go now!" never really felt like great praise to me. It actually felt really really shitty knowing the work I was doing was making it possible for the "nobility" to further gain back control of the "serfs".
I figured that the only way this could ever benefit society as a whole instead of shareholders and owners would be if we moved more to a society with things like UBI, with perhaps the people who end up getting something extra being the ones who actually DO the dirty jobs and provide actual worth to society, instead of becoming obscenely wealthy at the expense of empathy and good human spirit. Unfortunately, at least here in the states, anything that smacks of "socialism" automatically equals dictatorship (glossing over that capitalism offers just as many examples of being abused by the "ruling" class). So there's the whole zeitgeist to battle against before the comfortable and less-informed majority will even listen to anything that's in their best interest.
As you say, interesting times indeed. I'm not hopeful that we'll see that sort of shift in my lifetime however, sigh....
The loudest aren't the majority. The loudest are often shills, trolls or AI bots. Just post that there's an alternative, leave the link, and walk away. There will be people coming and joining quietly, in my experience.
...and mail it back once it's full.

Could you not convert your characters over? I don't play either one (I was more into Palladium games like TMNT and Heroes, or the old Westwood Star Wars), but I feel like it could be doable?
