- Comment on Looking for games that feel like a summer adventure 4 months ago:
Based on the games you’ve mentioned, you’ll love it .
A slow walking sim in an English village. Super atmosphere, interesting story, good voice acting. An authentic stroll around an English village. I know the area where it’s set, and the vibe is spot on.

What ? Starting with loss leaders, taking on insane debt, then slowly reduce the service while increasing the price ?
It’s like starting with a Audi e-tron, then slowly replacing with parts from a 90s ford focus, while while increasing the monthly payment
- Comment on Why is the US not considered a third world country? 4 months ago:
I resent this, as Brit. Toilet paper itself is perfectly fine - it’s those people that have to wipe their own arse that are heathen.
- Comment on Why is the US not considered a third world country? 4 months ago:
I applaud this because it will enrage a lot of Americans, who through no fault of their own , live in a better media bubble than most - although they are by no means alone.
Any “1st world” people are prone to believing the government. In Eastern Europe, Latham an other places - people are much more realistic about what Government is and what to expect.
Anyway, America is not 3rd by any means, but it is at risk of becoming a failed state .
According to Professor C. GeePeeTee :
A failed state is a political entity characterized by the collapse or extreme dysfunction of its governmental institutions, leading to the inability to perform basic governance functions and provide public services. Key features of a failed state include:
1. Loss of Control: The government loses control over its territory, and non-state actors such as warlords, militias, or criminal organizations may take over. 2. Weak Institutions: Public institutions such as the judiciary, police, and civil service become ineffective or nonexistent. 3. Political Instability: Persistent internal conflict, violence, and political turmoil prevail. 4. Economic Collapse: Severe economic decline, high unemployment, and lack of infrastructure and public services. 5. Human Rights Violations: Systematic human rights abuses and widespread lack of law and order. 6. Mass Migration: Large-scale displacement of people due to violence, persecution, or economic hardship.
I wouldn’t say any of these are slam dunks as of today, but for 1,2,3 a case can be made I think.
- Politics and the government is inarguably in the hands of Big Money - individuals or corporations.
- Institutions are weakening : the Supreme Court is pulling outrageous partisan shit right now.
- there was an attack on the capitol building, there is gun violence at poltical rallies.
So IMHO it’s hanging on by its fingernails at the moment. It’s hard to asses how strong those fingernails are. As long a people can enjoy NFL and McDonalds, there’s a chance. If that should change, more will be active politically on one side or the others.

May I mention the fact that Starmers acolytes in the party were actively working to undermine Corbyn during the campaign?
Leaking racist smears to the press and so on ?

It’s a good question. There’s nothing Left about the party at the moment. They are neoliberals who have already sold workers down the river to the Corporations, walking back basic promises for worker protections etc.
Policy wise, there is not much to look forward to. We can hope for more integrity and competence, but it’s slim.
The risk I see, is that they flop around in the centre, don’t deliver anything for voters, and leave the door open to right wing loons in one or two cycles from now.
