@NewsM101 Then once the property has been "reclaimed," the new "landlord" will evict the residents to suit their own needs OR suddenly rent prices will increase to double what they were before he lowered them. Happens every time.
@marcus_walters@s2_underground Get the right people to act on it (without the usual governmental twisting of legislation to turn it into something monstrous) and I'd be all for it
@marcus_walters@s2_underground I do agree that shareholders are a plague on basically everything they touch. My main point where we're not connecting is that I fully believe we are beyond a peaceful resolution. I've been watching people try and fail to find one my entire life. Flipping the table seems okay atp
@marcus_walters@s2_underground I think we're literally arguing the same point and you're missing it. I'm saying that I'd be all for the kind of bloodless reforms you suggest if they were possible. But even if I had the charisma to overcome the propaganda machine, I'd be quietly killed before anyone knows me
@marcus_walters@s2_underground You gonna be the one to join me if I start a movement to do what you described? Because you'll have to survive the US government itself throughout the entire process.
@marcus_walters@s2_underground I think you're misunderstanding something. The government, as far as I am concerned, should have no place in this discussion. The current political systems of the US are even worse than our corporate ones. This isn't a "leftist" idea, it's full-on civil wrath.
@marcus_walters@s2_underground The law will not be enforced into corporations without fear of consequences greater than a slap on the wrists from daddy government
@marcus_walters@s2_underground You literally said "for now." Corporations will spend unreasonable amounts of money searching for any and all possible loopholes to get around this, or lobbying to create some
@marcus_walters@s2_underground It's always a matter of "when" with corporations, not "if." WHEN they decide to start bricking PCs for leaving negative reviews or taking a step beyond communications bans for saying wrongthink in game chat, we're beyond screwed.
@wokenessucks I still think it's more an exercise in literacy. The wording makes it seem like a big moral decision but changing it to
Red: nothing happens
Blue: painless suicide that fails if more than 50% of people choose it
@fHN14fW1X6sXN50 The examples you made actually weren't too bad and not many people would mind them. What happens in American localization is that they make changes to the characters actual personalities and the pre-existing story to fit their personal political opinions.
