…you said it was the equivalent of saying “all lives matter”.

Let’s look at one study and ignore the consensus of studies, right?

Nope. Looking

Reduced access to medical care—psychological evaluations and medication, both of which cost money—does impact neurodivergent folk more.

Possibly.

When was the fascist government in place? The only non-german European fascist governance I know of is Mussolini, but that’s Italy.

Regardless, though, just glad SOMEONE is calling out Germany for its BS.

It doesn’t hurt the sales of the games, that’s an unscientific assertion you are asserting that directly contradicts research.

If you want to play it for free, nobody’s stopping you from pirating it too. It seems like resentment here rather than logical rigour in your argument. It’s not a slap in the face for gamers who want to support the developers. If you don’t, there’s no reason why you should be obligated to purchase the game.

Games are made and developed for-profit, they only continue production if they are profitable. They’ve remained profitable despite piracy forever.

This has nothing to do with the argument that all games should be free or that developers don’t need paychecks. It’s an entirely different set of claims which nobody is making here.

Logic is objective, so saying it’s logical “to you” is illogical.

A sense of humour is irrelevant to a discussion from a logical standpoint. Furthermore, we literally have data and studies that show that piracy doesn’t hurt the sales of games— when provided with this evidence in the comments, you just “laughed” at it.

You ask for reasoning/evidence, and when provided, just laugh at it. Laughter doesn’t dismiss evidence.

Sure, just don’t pretend you’re engaging in logical discussion.

Except when people provide you with evidence and reasoning you just go “lmao” and leave it at that too.

Finally someone calling out Germany. Germany has a bad track record of being fascist and on the wrong side of history atp.

The direct statements I’ve made are directly against that. You’re arguing in bad faith if you’re going to put words in my mouth for me and insist I said what I didn’t.

I can have a discussion about the present without focusing on the past or future. Saying that it is metaphysics is a non-sequitur. Not everything has to be viewed historically.

What you’re doing is you’re using dialectical materialism as a veneer to deflect criticism here.

You’re saying that, why should I believe that’s actually the case?

Censorship is always done with some sort of “positive” narrative tied to it.

I never said history was metaphysical or wasn’t something that progresses. As long as you keep reading things into my statements you’re going to keep responding to arguments I never made.

That’s not what I said. Under the veneer of censoring capitalism, you allow broader censorship.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t support China, I’m saying we should call it out for the BS that it does actually do, and not treat it like divinity beyond criticism. Every time I make any criticism of China, the responses are apologetic at best.

Those issues aren’t “invented”, but I won’t go over those points again.

I didn’t say it’s permanent. It’s common sense that everything is temporary. If you’re reading that into my statements, that’s on you.

Re: chauvanism and dogmatism. What was that thing you said earlier? Phrasemongering? Sounds like. I’ll add one: hypocrisy.

I don’t fucking care what you think lol.

I beg to differ.

It passes in terms of what democracies are in practice but the political suppression, surveillance, and censorship that China is known for its anything but democratic.
