Been saying this for years. Leftism is just daddy issues, all the way down.

[Nekaishi ✟ Kitsune VTuber 🦊🦋 @nekaishi]

The entire internet, our entire culture, is in desperate need of father figures

I’m not talking “Daddy” deep-voice ASMR bullshit.

I’m talking:

“You are NOT going out in that. You look and are acting like a prostitute"

“Son, I’m glad you stood up for and protected that kid, even if you got suspended. It’s about time that asshole got what was coming to him”

“I know you and your mom don’t get along all the time, but she is still your mother”

“I’m proud of you for handling that the right way.”

“A real man protects the people he loves—and that includes building yourself up, finding confidence in yourself, and controlling yourself. You’re a protector. You need to be able to protect your mother, sisters and others when I'm gone”

“I don’t care how talented or successful you become if you treat people like garbage”

“You are not allowed to see that boy again”

“If you want to keep doing that, and keep doing this work, you’re going to have to find a new place to live”

“Come sit with me. Tell me what’s actually going on. I’m not going anywhere”

I’m not even joking

Almost everything we’re seeing is downstream of absent fathers, abused fathers, of boys and men who were abused and then became absent fathers themselves, and of toxic mothers. Toxic positivity. Participation trophies. Being told you’re perfect your entire life when you are not. People being given everything they want without earning it. Annoying, shitty kids being given whatever they want just to make them shut up

I’m tired of everyone ignoring that reality and pretending every problem in the universe is caused by men

The truth is, a huge portion of the problems we see today came from what was done to men—and is still being done to them

The truth is, many of the problems we're seeing are due to the ABSENSE of men

We need men who are willing to step up and be that voice again—and a culture that stops punishing them for it

@StephenSkolnick @grok can you give me a TL;DR of this thread?

[Dave Chadwick - Author @DChadwickAuthor]

I’m just gonna do a blanket response to all the construction bros in my comments saying that they don’t do what we all see them doing.

“Nobody’s hired anybody out of Home Depot for decades?”

Really? Then the throng of illegals I see regularly at the Home Depot on 300 W are just hanging out there cuz? But what your statement is even more indicative of is that you acknowledge that this once was a common practice, and now the hiring process has become less visible. You didn’t stop hiring illegals, you just changed their origin.

“76% of construction workers are Americans.”

Yeah. That percent means there was data. It means it’s what was reported. Exploitative labor is, by its very nature, not official or recorded. Except by our eyeballs.

“I don’t hire illegals, by I can’t control what my subs do.”

Bullshit. You know what your subs do. You can go to the worksite and see for yourself and fire them for their criminal behavior and call ICE. But you don’t. Because you already know and approve.

“Americans don’t want to do the work!”

No, they just won’t do backbreaking labor for a wage that will not sustain them.

“Americans are lazy! They just want to play video games!”

This is boomer talk using a hobby they never understood to label their progeny as useless and unworthy so that they don’t feel bad for destroying the world they were handed on a silver platter so they could enrich themselves at the expense of every other generation they share the planet with.

“Americans aren’t trained to do the job!”

Are the millions of unskilled foreign laborers skilled when you hire them? The answer is no. They learn on the job. What used to happen with Americans before foreign labor made you rich.

“Americans complain about working in the heat and want time off!”

Oh, you mean they have concerns about highly dangerous, life shortening work conditions and actually want time to rest?

How dare they!

How dare they have concern for their well being working for $10 an hour while you sit in your air conditioned trailer! The only solution is hooking up with human traffickers run by the cartels! Hard to complain when you either don’t know are are too dumb to care if you’re being exploited?

You are all criminals.

You should all go bankrupt.

You should all go to prison for your crimes. For life.

This cope no longer works

Highguard was made up of a ton of ex-titanfall devs, a massive cash injection from from Tencent, who are notoriously hands off, and gave them 100 chinese employees and given one objective: make money

And they couldn't do that

We see this pattern constantly, double fine, ninja theory, undead labs, list goes on, given unlimited money, time and freedom and they had nothing to show for it for years

Bethesda had 1600 people working on starfield and where does it show?

The new halo doesnt even have multiplayer yet it has an esports team of like 10 people

Bungie had like 3000 employees when they got bought by sony, yet all they were working on was destiny 2 content, and had no other projects at the time

it begs the question, what the fuck do these people do all day?

Weve seen what they do, and its fuck all

Weve seen what they produce, and games made today take longer to make, run worse, look worse, cost more, are less fun, are made by more people, and they just fucking suck

Because the people making them fucking suck, its that simple

There is no conspiracy that le evil heckin corporations are conspiring to dump billions into making games shitty on purpose, and every failure is their fault, and every success is in spite of them

While it is true that higher ups will often push for financial incentives that may harm the final product, they are not the ones responsible for the writing being bad, running poorly, or looking ugly as fuck, or being boring or lecturous

The fact is, the AAA industry has been infested by an elitist club of theater kids who are there solely to check boxes for investors and government grants, and have treated this art form that you and I care so much about as a charity designed to provide endless welfare to a club of weird communist freaks who hate you, hate games, and hate themselves

They think they should be allowed to break your toys as much as they want, be shielded from any and all criticism, and given constant second chances when they repeatedly fail to deliver, and you are required to keep funding this unsustainable system

No other industry in the world functions like this, none of them have produced anything of value in the better part of 15 years, yet we're all expected to be super sad that the free ride is over and these people will have to actually do their fucking job for once, or find a new one

Everyone with a soul either left or was laid off over a decade ago

The layoffs don't go far enough, fire them all, shut their studios down, go back to teams of a few dozen actually talented people with smaller budgets and shorter time frames

If we just help China carry out the largest theft of election data in US history, have the CIA suppress the evidence, fund the creation of a manmade virus, conceal its origins, allow the CCP to pay journalists to write negative stories about the duly elected POTUS, allow the Chinese Communist Party to create tens of thousands of mail-in ballots, abuse the FISA court, weaponize the justice system, rig primaries, attempt to remove Trump from state ballots, raid the private residence of a former president with deadly force, shutoff surveillance cameras, fabricate evidence, gag, censor, ban Voter ID, and flood the country with tens of millions of illegals we could save democracy.
