    My group of buddies always say that if gaming hadn’t become so wildly popular a revolution started by young men would have happened already.

    The US is really good at placating the masses with media. Stay distracted, stay oppressed.

      Hahaha ! “We would start a revolution but we’re too busy gaming on the couch”. What a bunch of losers indeed.

        Uhh, yes. Unironically. Revolutions happen when a sufficient number of people can’t afford to game & jack off any more, so their only source of entertainment is to LARP overthrowing the government, which they do so realistically that it actually happens. Open a history book smh.

        If you look into it at all, America is a really embarrassing place.

        I mean, we just started an unprovoked war by bombing a school full of little girls.

        If someone has done that to America, there’d already be memorials about it and several random brown countries bombed back to the stone age, but since we did it, it’s actually totally cool.
