I agree that PC is better than console and that consoles are basically dead at this point, but I fucking hate the culture behind the "PC Master Race" with a passion.

Why? Because they are the most entitled, spoiled, rotten pieces of shit in the gaming community. They are like those fast-food customers who place the most ridiculous special orders, or the upper middle class to rich people who can only watch movies in a home theater set-up. They won't play a game unless they can play it on max settings with the most perfect frame-rate.

This is also one of the many factors that is preventing the "year of the Linux desktop". Even if they game already has a Linux port that is perfectly playable, I know a lot of people who out-right refuse to play on Linux because "the game runs better on Windows" (and by "better" they mean only a slight framerate increase). Let's see if that attitude still stands when Windows goes full SaaS and requires you to be micro-chipped in order to activate it.

I could go on. I also don't like their obsession with RGB lighting on everything and making their computers look like they were designed by aliens. How are you supposed to sleep at night if you are someone who keeps their computer in their bedroom?

I've been PC gaming since I started gaming, and I have always been perfectly content with a mid-ranged PC or even a toaster if I'm just sticking with indies and emulators. No RGB lights, no fancy keyboards or mice, no curved monitors. I really wouldn't have it any other way outside the inability to emulate 7th gen games.

Democracy is one step away from Monarchy in the direction of freedom. It federates centralized State power away from a single point into several slightly less centralized points. It also allows the public to voice their opinions on who rules them.
But it is still based on State dominance, and is therefore subject to all of the potential corruption of State power, and is also rooted in the tyranny of the majority. If 3 of 5 people in a democracy vote in a direction, the remaining 2 people are dominated by the State under threat of violence.
We need to move another step away from State power into something new.
Some will say “it’s not possible! Democracy is best!”. But these are the same kinds of people who said “it’s not possible! Monarchy is best!” when the last season of change came. Others want you to explain exactly how everything will work in advance, so they can bog you down in endless semantics, and prevent any actual steps forward into the new.
But it’s time for the new. You can feel it in the air.

What if it was a system based on regional cooperation rather than a centralized power. Each of them defining their own government.

You could define power as being owned by those regions, or states. The concept could be called "States Rights."

The loose association of cooperation could be something like a confederation of those regionally autonomous bodies.

A "Confederacy" if you will..

Sucks to be you. Luckily, I live in a country where I can legally make as many intense flashing effects as I want.

The "possible" Alex Jones shutdown is just another psyop. They just want you to think that you can get sued for speaking out against the mainstream.

Why isn't anyone talking about this? The UN just had a summit where they plan to have more control.
