Don’t misunderestimate Dubya. Irregardless of his policies, he coined words and phrases like Shakespeare. How many of use of dreamed of human beings and fish coexisting peacefully? How many of us strive to put food on our families and buy most of our imports from overseas? Don’t we all want to know “is our children learning?” And who can forget that famous Texas proverb “fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.”

Monologue? He interviewed Elmo!

Even this comment is filled with hatred. Why are you so angry?

YanDev is a literal pedophile. It’s honestly mind boggling people care more about a guy who won’t sign a petition on preserving video games than pedophiles and bigots. I don’t get the hate.

OwO what’s this? *notices your copy of Mein Kampf*

The end game is to avoid legal consequences for their actions. These people don’t understand the legal system and believe it works like an arcane magic system. If they send the right letters to the right people, they can make all their problems go away.

In this case, they believe there is a letter they can send someone that causes that person to owe them 1 gold bar per month unless that person performs some kind of action. This one sounds like it was sent to the New York State courts in an attempt to get them to drop legal action against them (or give them gold).

Searching “notice of liability” gets you a bunch of conspiracy theory websites with templates and instructions.

because 99% of gamers do not give a fuck.

Then why would any government care?

This gives me AI vibes.

atro_city said it well:

If the SKG movement doesn’t organise, that’s all we’ll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.

Over a million Europeans have signed a petition in less than a month. Why only Europeans? Big ecelebs like PewDiePie and Critikal have made videos on this. It’s got a lot of people interested. Why not get everyone in on something more direct? Something international? Why does the world need to sit and wait and hope the EU parliament fixes everything? It seems like a waste of momentum. It needs to be more than just a European petition. A call to boycott the worst companies until they change their EULA and TOS would be a great start.

My point is that the movement should be doing more than just signing an online petition. What happens if the EU parliament declines to make any changes? Nothing? Oh well we tried? What will you do?

How? I genuinely believe something along the lines of an organized boycott would be far more impactful than a hail mary petition. The reason I think it wouldn’t work is because most people couldn’t commit. That’s why I said this isn’t activism.

It’s not activism if you’re not putting in any effort. I don’t care if people downvote me, but at least post an actual opinion. Have an actual stance. I’m glad others have posted some, although all of them seem to be along the lines of “this petition will definitely fix everything so we don’t need to try anything else”.

Discussion on the internet is dead. You ask a question and people respond with meme pictures and downvotes instead of a point.

Voting is activism?

using official channels is certainly not activism.

Isn’t that called “lobbying”?

I mean to encourage people to actually do something as sharing a post on social media isn’t activism.

Give me an example of a “successful one”. I’ve read only two initiatives have lead to law changes. One on the minimum cage sizes for farm animals being slightly bigger and one on banning pesticides that ended up with slightly more oversight on their use. All the others that passed only resulted in a statement by the government with no legal changes.

Did anyone actually expect the EU to regulate a multibillion dollar industry because it’s trending on social media?

eh
