The ones being monkeybrained into celebrating 'poetic justice' for those they have been trained to perceive as entitled for making $70 games not worth it while being smug about an artistic vision and a 'reality of the industry' these dissatisfied customers supposedly don't get. It's the same vitriolic nonsense on social media as we see in politics. People's perspective being pitted against each other without actually facilitated communication.

It is a lack of understanding and communication, most certainly. That goes both ways of course.

You might not like to hear this but the media is far from innocent of building the image of young, struggling men being prone to violence and not being trustworthy while it also still fuels the imagery of the older, tough as nails ‘hero’ they wish to become but are not allowed to.

Fascism is literally an ideology driven by a spiteful vibe. Parade your disdain for the identity of somebody else long enough, they will embrace the worst aspects to oppose you and mythesize these aspects into virtues.

I am a bit confused. This is JD Vance we talk about. He called Trump ‘Hitler’ on TV. And betrayed his position the second he got approached with the vice presidency. He pushed the ‘Haitians eat your pets’ story. Of course he is complicit. Not just by inaction or muted approval. HE IS PART of the racket.
