YOU ARE POOR
CS skins have never looked goodthe only novelty would be having a golden AK but that's about it, they all look terrible
why are people so obsessed with asking questions they already know the answers to now?
if your net worth was in digital skins for a video game we have a term for that: hood richit is a habit of poor people to buy expensive things they cannot afford while being otherwise destitute the only difference here is that if tyrone wakes up one day and his TV, rims and iphone are gone, he can just go grab his hi-point and go get them back; you can't lmao
>>724262468>celebratingkek he chose a powerful world didnt hewhen the clown slips and falls I'm laughing my ass off and not celebrating being able to stand normally
>>724262836It's the only way people know how to make a statement, "conceal" it as a question.It's a spineless act.
NO CRYING IN THE CASINO
only poor people are stupid enough to gamble I mean speculate on video game skins>if you can't tell who the mark is, it's youlol better luck next time, dumbshits lmao
>>724262468>YOU ARE POORSo are they, now. Lmao
>>724262468THIS IS MY LAST COPE
>>724262867It's unironically like when Boogie2988 claimed to be a millionaire or close to one because all of his unsold crypto, only for them to never actually be utilized whatsoever, leading to an insane crash that wipes out your paper gains
>>724263045The copers are worse than poor; they lost money if they bought high (they did)The poor are net zero and laughing
There are no poor people, only temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
>>724262468using steam's game market as a replacement for the stock market automatically makes you poor
Post >yfw you didn't spend five figures on videogame pixels
>>724262468And the white man marches on.
>>724263045LMAO
>>724262468I've been playing since Beta, fuckers.We modded our knives with free skins, fuckers.I hope more end themselves because of STUPID SHIT.
>>724263324
>>724262468>playing a competitive game in 2025i may be poor but at least i’m not retarded. i’m not getting cortisol face stressing out about pixels on a screen
>>724262836why are stupid people the only ones asking questions?It's a bit ironic, no? The people hurt by the questions the most were those who actively enjoyed the pursuit of knowledge for years, working up to that special moment when they could reach enlightenment.Looking at the forums it seems like the only people questioning this are stupid IRL. Struggling to see how anyone could be questioning the answers unless they're stupid?? (btw knowledge market is ruined for literally everyone now. the same reason people complained about enlightenment is now happening to education lmao)
>>724262468if you're not poor then why are you crying about video game knives being worthless
>>724262995I can cry if I want. It's not against the terms of service and you can't make me leave.
>>724262468>lose an entire pension on retarded NFTs>"Poors did this."lmao
>>724262468Oh no muh bubble popped
>>724262468I'm sure poor people worked super hard to buy that 50k USD knife.
weathly people and those that understand the fucking concept of money. Would never ever '''''invest''''' into digital items that you have no ownership over that are not physical goods and that can be shutdown within seconds deleting everything because once again you own nothing because its not real. its a fucking skin tied to a videogame not even a rare powerful item a fucking skin.These people are so retarded its not even funny like this is subhuman levels of brown this is more pathetic than cryptobros delusional Fucking at least with pokemon/mtg cards you own the fucking cards its a real item you can hold
So... how's CS2 (formerly CSGO)?
>>724262468i genuinly think video game items being worth thousands of dollars is retarded, and i think its even more retarded that assholes were using that shit to "invest"its not about weather or not i can buy a knife, in fact i dont even play cs2. i just think its fucking hilarious to finally see these retards get what they deserve for putting hundreds of thousands of dollars into literal pixels. they are no different from the nft bros imo
>>724264841i play it on and off.. mostly off now. too many cheaters, and the preem grind is just the next glass ceiling gatekept by hackersI decide to have actual FUN playing games.. so CS gets the boot
>>724264841they wouldn't be able to tell you since the only thing they "play" is the menu screen
>>724262468>why don't poor people want unaffordable things to be in the game they play
>>724262867In Australia we call them Cashed-Up Bogans
>>724263324i derive morbid joy watching a pseudo nft market explode
>>724264841it's an hero shooter now lmao
>>724265260Show the character tier lists then.
>>724262867That me but I didn't buy any of it it's all gifts
>>724263864in the casino YESin the judge room NO but in the jail yes
>>724262468Games shouldn't have in-game items that could be traded by money.
third party market is not valve's responsibility
>YAAAAS I ENJOY DUMPING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS VIRTUAL MARKET!!huh
>>724262468Poor people have always been considered lesser humans by the rich, or those who adore the rich even if they are poor themselves.If you want to see best example, just say you support worker's rights and raise of a minimum wage so people can afford to live at least decent life.You instantly see what kind of people appear and who they end up defending with the most ridiculous arguments and logic while insisting that poor should stay poor and that's a good thing.Even in /v/ people defend shitty PC ports by saying "buy a better rig" and calls you a poorfag if you don't want to buy $70 or $80 games with DLC for a $500+ console with paid online.
>>724262867>Hood rich This is 4channel. The term is nigger rich.
>>724263324I pay for TF2 items but I'm satisfied with my purchases
>>724266054Lmao is there a more humiliating job than being a shartmart employee? I swear I've seen more webms of ridiculous humiliation rituals from this company than from any other in the world,
>>724266054>so help me, SamWhat?
>>724266054KEKAROOOOOOO KEKYPOOOOOW
I have access to 2 million dollars, as well as a land investment. I've got some in gold, stock market, 401k, savings.I am celebrating and I do think it's funny.
>>724266562Could they fire you for refusing to participate in this retardation? I go to work to do a job, not dance like a fucking monkey for strangers. If my boss tried to force me to do that shit I'd probably quit then and there.
>>724262468I mean from Valve's perspective these changes are better overall. Because knives are easier to get, participation in the neet lootboxes goes up and that's more revenue for them. Knives being expensive as shit only worked for a few people and that's money valve never saw because they'd trade outside of steam. Plus valve gets to beat out EU regulations (for now) and that's a VERY lucrative market they want to stay in.
>>724266054it's far more likely that people are calling you a poorfag because you're functionally illiterate.
>>724266562Some people have no other choice sadly as other smaller stores and businesses have been crushed by megacorpos. Gotta make a living and you don't have wellfare stuff in the muttland. And not much worker's protections.It is always funny people make fun of the workers but never calls out the bosses or corporation as a whole by forcing the workers do that stuff.Did you know btw that big box stores lose more money for cities than they bring as the corpos get so much tax cuts and the parking spots take so much money without bringing any money or land value?It's really interesting stuff, but I think I'm making bit too many anti-capitalist comments
>>724262468>im rich because I spend a lot of money on digital assetsyou have 0 money until you complete the sale
>>724262836It's a not-so-sneaky way to try to gather support without putting yourself into the line of fire.If I said>Pokemon graphics fucking sucks, Gamefreak should've been purged of every single membersI am stating an opinion, an opinion you could attack me on and, if I was the guy in OP's picture, you attacking me and my opinion would hurt my feelings.Furthermore, my opinion could be quite specific (aka Gamefreak getting purged), so even if people agreed with the graphics statement, I could risk not getting support for the purging.However, if I go>Does anyone else think Pokemon graphics are getting worse and worse with each generation? Gamefreak is dropping the ball, right?Now I'm still stating my opinion but framed in a way that gets a discussion going, because if even another guy says "yes" then that guy will be at odds with anyone saying no.Furthermore, you try to keep the question somewhat generic, so you bunch up together both the people that want Gamefreak tossed into the trash where they rightful belong and those that have just a mild opinion.While this may seem very smart and effective it usually isn't and you can only get people that are already very emotionally invested in whatever is being discussed.
>>724267043>capitalism is when middle management wants wagies to dance
>>724266868>If my boss tried to force me to do that shit I'd probably quit then and thereyou'd be replaced in a heartbeat, hope you can afford not having the job.
>>724264841depending on where you live you'll either have to play with russians or mexicansthats already reason enough not to play the game
>>724267043Nah, I despise shartmart and all of these megscorps that have invaded our ways of life, and I'm genuinely surprised more of these people don't go postal. If my boss made me dance like that just to feed my family he'd get luigi'd.
>>724266868My grandfather applied to work at Walmart as a retirement gig, once they told him to dance he said "fuck no" and his boss said "you're fired".Hadn't even worked their 10 minutes.
>>724264269you don’t understand. I painstakingly botted for thousands of hours and had to hack several accounts to get that portfolio
>>724267043Walmart also purposely shutdown their stores after a couple of years once competition is out only to literally reopen another store across the street. Why? Because Walmart stores are specifically designed for them only so nobody else can move into that building and rennovate it, it has to be completely demolished which is expensive as shit. It's actually really insidious stuff.
>>724267258>you'd be replaced in a heartbeatOh no, not my minimum wage! I'd have to... apply to the other one 10 minutes away from that one?These companies love telling you you're nothing but a replaceable unit to them (while simultaneously demanding you kiss their feet and worship them), meanwhile they pretend there's not a minimum wage job on every street corner.
>>724267691they're interested in employees that have no choice but to jump through the hoops, they really don't care if you go across the street to go work for someone else because they're going to keep churning through people all the same.
>>724266651Sam Walton is the guy who founded Walmart in the 60's. Walmart is also relatively unique for still being privately owned by the Walton family. So yes they are intentionally implying that your corporate overlord is literally God for the wagies.
>>724267159I didn't mean that, but more of the fact big box stores pushed away all small local stores and killed town/village feel by designing things around cars. That is a straight criticism towards car and oil industry which is a big no-no. Cars are very big cultural thing for right-wing I have noticed. You have to buy corporate product to participate in the society plus buy fuel from other corpos to run your only legit mode of transport. Which is considered freedom.Also this >>724267543The issue goes bit deeper tho. NJB has video on it but that is another thing that makes some people very angry. But here is for people who are actually more interested in the topic and don't kneejerk defend corpos and the elite:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7-e_yhEzIw
>>724264106>my face looking into your face
>>724262468>muh NFTs for steam bucksLMAO
because it's funnyimagine paying $2000 for a digital weapon skin in some 20 year old video gameit was money laundering or TOTAL retards
>>724266562employers who humiliate their employees like that should be forced to do the same, but on a carpet made from razor blades
>>724269552Nah, you'll never see the employer himself participating in this bullshit. He's better than you, he doesn't have to be a part of the humiliation ritual. (They really think like this.)
History repeats itself.
>>724269812I know where that crop comes from.
>>724262468I'm not poor, I just find the situation fucking hilarious, because you'd have to be a retard to try and "invest" thousands of dollars into this shit.
>>724264841It’s mostly about the glitch now.
>>724263324How do I keep getting away with it
>>724266054>Even in /v/ people defend shitty PC ports by saying "buy a better rig"It depends. Sometimes it is a shitty PC port but sometimes people definitely just have shitty PCs. There are way too many people on /v/ that get mad that they can't run games at 1080p/60fps anymore on a damn near 10 year old PC and will blame it on the game and not their ancient hardware
>>724266868You have no rights as an employee in America. You'd likely be terminated for insubordination.
>>724264106>let a brother know when you lasso hasbro so when I show up with destro I get no hassle
>>724265023how have they not been able to solve the cheating epidemic yet, weren't they just touting their new AI tools to crack down on them
>>724266868if you're in a right to work state neither you nor the employer needs a reason to end your employment.if you aren't, they will find a reason, and it'll be obfuscated through 3 layers of corporate nothingjargon to make it plausibly vague enough that you can't sue them for a wrongful termination. remember that HR does not exist to help the employees any further than ensuring you get compensated for your work on the clock (wages and insurance), they exist to help the company mitigate all liabilities that YOU could pose to them. stuff like sexual harassment and worker's comp are avenues that the company loses a ton of money if not handled properly, they're getting you as little as they legally can so it doesn't cause worse expenses for the company down the line.
>>724265260
>>724268407>Walmart/Target: "Our buildings are so shit, ugly, and makes all future development unviable, so our land is worthless and we shouldn't pay property tax"Also the food stamp shit was funny>Pay shitty wage to your employees>Government gives food stamps to them so they can afford food>The poor employees buy their food from the stores they work at with the food stamps>Government literally is paying the bigbox stores to pay lower wagesDOAMERICANSREALLY...?
>>724262468This won't find any sympathy on /v/, which is mostly kids and browns.
>>724271408/v/ is mostly Americans tho
>>724264559
>>724271408only poors hate this update, thoughever. ans only those of them who were stupid enough to dump all of their pennies into CS
>>724270413Because they no longer gate keep the fucking game with a price tag.>Be hacker>Get banned>Make new account
>>724271408>FEEL SORRY FOR MY RETARDED FINANCIAL DECISIONS!!
>>724266054>Raise minimum wage>Business replaces employee with someone who works for 1/3rd the wage from another countryHave you guys not figured this one out by now?
>>724262468It's very funny that he positions the two sides as >People who spend years working and saving up to buy a cosmetic in a videogame, which is a major expenditure and a highlight of their lifevs>poor people
>>724264368
>>724268407I moved from a small town into a bigger urban area and I'm 100% convinced the soulless grey tall buildings are made that way to remind people they're worthless easily replaceable husks.The oppression I felt from being in the middle of nondescript grey buildings the first few months after I moved was gut wrenching coming from a small town with bright buildings, houses and people hanging out outside.
>'people' were literally speculating on Counterstrike weapon skins as if it's the stock marketI'm too old for this shit. I'm sure it was completely serious, and I don't mind that people did it honestly hey good for you, but it sounds ridiculous and stupid to me.
>>724272903See >>724271204Maybe some fucking regulations instead of constant tax cuts for them?>"Buh that makes rich sad..."
>>724273229There were several scares before when Valve revoked API keys for trading bots linked to casinos. Valve already proved they weren't afraid to step in if the PR hit was too bad, it existed solely as a grey market waiting to get extinguished.
>>724262468and now you're poorer lmao
>>724262468nortubel fans are poor
Was the RMT shit even legal anywhere with an actual government?
>>724263045gottem
>>724273232The beautiful thing about america is that the middle class was extinguished and everyone was gaslit into believe their great and amazing country was build on the back of billionaires like the rockefellers, debeers and musk.Now they worship the same people that profit from corporate socialism that also tell them socialism for them is evil.
>>724266054>muh minimum wageDon't make me tap the sign, leftoid. Cali has the highest minimum wage in the country but the highest wealth gap and homeless population.
>>724262468Maybe don't invest in fucking Counterstrike skins as your main source of income retards
>>724262836They want validation
>>724262468Invest in gold, silver or even stocks. CSGO skins are infinite in practice because its pixels you just buy and pixels can be created nonstop.
>>724262468IMAGINE PLAYING A GAME FOR ANYTHING OTHER THEN ITS ENJOYMENT. THEY SHOULD BE RIDUCLED AND LAUGHED AT FOR BEING RETARDED.
>>724270158Don’t care, didn’t ask, running Ninja Gaiden 4 at 1080/60 on my GTX1070, optimize your slop better
>>724262468"CS rich" people are poor too lmao.
>>724273515>we don’t need minimum wages, we need sound moneyI’d say “both” is probably a good thing to have
>>724273515Having a strong wage only makes your exports unaffordable. The only thing this admin is doing right is devaluing the dollar
Did anyone actually make money from this shit? If i bought 5k in cs knives last year, what would they have been worth before this patch?
>>724266054 >>724273232Fuck off retard, raising the minimum wage has literally locked teenagers out from getting summer / entry level jobs which are now overrun by 20-40 somethings working several part-time jobs and third worlders who start working for pennies, then take over businesses and only hire their own.Unlimited government handout programs kill the middle class through ever-increasing taxation, and make the lower classes incapable of rising up at all because the welfare programs give no need to raise wages (not "minimum wage" but any wages whatsoever).Stop trying to lower the fucking floor and start raising the ceiling. The solution to virtually all of the citizens' financial woes is to abolish about 99% of all government programs and reduce taxes from the ~70% annual total that most first world nations are unwittingly suffering to almost no taxes.
>>724274392uh-huh
>>724262468Every single person that has more money than me must suffer.
>>724274371some skins have changed their value from $1 to $150 over the past 5 years. most of my skins have lost at least half of their value since the update
>>724262468This is the kind of people that calls gacha players pathetic.
>>724262468You only became "rich" by leeching from the poor. I celebrate because I enjoy your misery.

>>724274960>mfw I glanced over this post and read librarians instead of libertarians
>>724274740I always believed gachafags to be the worst posters here.Crazy that even I have to admit theres a group of people below even them.Like I've seen some people spending $5000 on something only for a global to die, they get depressed for a bit then push themselves to start learning jp if its still alive there.But these people immediately jumping because, from what I know, they made it easier for players???I'm not even at the point of laughing. Its blindsiding really, like how were they THAT deep into the shit that they had to jump asap?Now it makes sense how volatile those kinda posters tended to be.
>>724262468I hate poor people but this is a stretch
>>724275245See, these people “investing” in video game pixels aren’t players. They just want to park their money in these so-called safe assets and grow it from day trading or whatever. They literally do not give a fuck about the game or gameplay.
>>724262468I speculated on an asset with infinite supply......and now my principal has become forfeit!?How could this be happening to me!?!?
>>724263045Based
>>724279141Heh is that a light novel
>>724263045Bingo!
I'm laughing; there's a bit of a difference.
>>724262468>do nothing>not even have money>people seethe at your mere continued existance
>>724263324>Mfw i'm smart and spent them on pokemon cards instead
>>724262468granting the premisethere is literally a study on thispeople would rather see someone they feel does not deserve their wealth (in a very loose sense, we're not talking about criminal drug lords 'don't deserve', we're basically talking about 'more money than me') taken down, than they themselves receive any benefits at all, even if those benefits are substantial and would solve all of their (immediate) problems.People are just vindictiveDangerously soalsolol digital knives
>>724267043>1 bedroom studio >950/moNot these days lol
>>724263045lol lmao
>>724263926best post
>>724262468>actively enjoyed the game>worked up to finally purchase first knifeso, they worked hard to get the skin because they love the game and really like the skin? (fat chance) then they lost nothing. they still have the knife they love so damn much that they spent their fortune on it.the only case where they lose anything is if they were planning on selling it
>>724262468>you're poor because you didn't lose all your money on glorified NFTs"Ok."
>>724262468This is why we need french revolution 2
>>724281261why are people such petty bitches? if I ever get riches I hope you're happy for me anon I deserve the wealth.
>>724281443Depends on where you live. If you don't live in a shithole you can easily find an apartment for that amount. If you live in a shithole like NYC or LA $950/mo will get you a cardboard box in an alley as long as you don't mind splitting the rent with 4-5 roommates and a communal bathroom (by communal bathroom I mean the nearest library)
>>724274392>"Don't blame the rich! It's the government's fault! If there were no regulations the corpos would hire more and pay people better!"This is parody level of shit. Americans bend over for corpos and fight against their own rights because...?
>>724283264Because the people here drank the "land of opportunity" koolaid and actually think they can become rich
>>724283264People are purposely overworked and low paid to be kept in line so they are too tired, or can't afford to take days off work to fight for better rights. Going on strike is just leading to your own demise in this country. Corpos and the rich have been setting up this up for decades now to prevent any possibility of them losing their wealth to the mass of poors.
>>724283264Americans considered pic related to be a legitimate source of information.
>>724262468It's true, my CS inventory is non-existent. But my laughter is rich.
>you're poor because you don't spend your money on pixels
>>724263864Actually no, the casino can kick you out and trespass you for WHATEVER reason they feel like, it's a private business.
>>724262468Knife skin traders are celebrating? Thought they were jumping off of roofs.
>>724283884and they were shat on in the same day by callers, I was there man
Poor people don't play video games as a lifestyle. It's just a timesink for them, nothing more. These paupers are not NEETs and would rather spend their money drinking booze.
>>724266054The people that defend the poor are the same people that don't want to associate themselves with the poor and don't want to listen to the opinions of the poor. As soon as these poor people have an sense of personal agency, these poor people defenders will hate them. There are no genuine defenders of poor people.The problem isn't just low wages, it's almost everything being against poor people: onerous laws, high cost of living, high cost of transportation, lack of affordable housing, high taxes, etc. Raising the minimum wage is like taking a piss in the ocean.
>>724265058you are a cheeky cunt m8
>>724262468Yeah, no, the reason I'm celebrating is because knife traders are fucking faggots like the guy in your OP image.
>>724266906It is far more likely thnat people are calling you a poorfag because they are baiting.
Unrelated, but are TF2 and/or L4D2 still safe?
>>724263045Zamn
>>724266868they can fire you for no reason. in fact it's legally better for them to provide no reason at all because actual reasons can be challenged or interpreted as discriminatorythe good news is that you can quit whenever you want for whatever reason. of course they'll then badmouth you when your next employer checks your employment history. oh well.
They already jumped back up so people can't just buy for fun, I don't know what these faggots are bitching about.I wish for a world where all skins were cheap and price locked at certain tiers so that everyone could pick and choose what they loved best.
>>724263324I haven't and will never spend a single cent on mtx. A well-packaged dlc is the only thing I'm willing to pay additional money for. It's what anybody should do but people are retarded.
nigger you shouldn't even be buying any skinsyou should be resenting valve since they dropped the mannconomy update (lootbox update)
>>724267083Got em
>>724270413If you find a non-stupid way to stop cheating, you'll be a billionaire. Good luck.
>>724266054Poor people aren't just innocent victims of socio-economic factors. The reason why certain areas are hellholes is because of the people who live there, not because they don't have enough money. They aren't violent because they are poor, they are poor because they are violent and will destroy anything that attempts to improve their situation.
>>724265358Imagine being this stupid
>>724273101That's my fetish
The reason why Valve resetting the market is good is because it fucks with people that do this sort of thing.
>>724262836Social media has trained people to maximize engagement on every interaction even in ways that don't make sense.
>>724262836The internet is nothing but engagement bait now
I simply don't care. But it you were sitting on hundreds of thousands and didn't cash out, then I have little sympathy. Just sell your shit, buy some important shit, invest a big chunk in real assets and reinvest back into the casino.
>>724262468>Working up to that special moment when they could purchase their first knifeI don't get it, isn't it better now since they will be able to buy it cheaper or even craft it themself ?
>hey that's neat I can get a knife now without soending hundreds of dollars :)>WHY ARE YOU HAPPY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>724266054If you raise the minimum wage, companies will just come out with a bullshit reason to raise prices of their products and services (like the minimum wage itself). They know the poor have money, and they want to take it from them.You a poor will remain poor, unless you find a way to exploit the other poors.
>>724262468HES POORHES BALDING HES FAT- kino casino ppp circa 2025
>>724262468the most blatantly covered in utter seethe "lmao" you will ever see this month
>>724262468Nobody who played the game for years (actually playing the game mind you not playing the market) is upset about this change.
>>724262468>working up to that special momentis this nigger retarded?that was the entire point of the update, you couldn't work up to a knife, you had to buy them. Now you can work up to them.If he meant working up to buy them, then lmao, he is the poor one if the can't afford a couple hundred $ and needs to save up for that. its even funnier if he actually means thatdamn these retards can't even keep their arguments slightly consistent.
>>724263045They we're always poor if their entire lives depended on virtual online gambling for fucking digital skins
>>724263324jesus christ i just realized i could buy into star citizen scam a hundred times and still lose less than these skintards
>>724275245anon, they are not players, they are grifters and speculators it doesn't matter if its stock, bot coin, NFT, tulips, CS knifes, they want easy money, they are there only for money
>>724281261often its completely justified tho
>>724275245At least these retards are trying to make money off their grift.I can understand these turd worlders, they're too stupid for stonks so they invest in highly volatile easily controllable markets like this instead.

People don't remember that you could reskin your entire game for free in CSS. In various websites like fpsbannana there were literally tens of thousands of free models, texture packs, sound packs, etc. CSGO is the worst thing that ever happened to the series and im glad that people are killing themselves over their pixels. Good riddance and fuck Valve.

>>724262836I like the irony in this post.
>>724298431A bunch of reasons, but the main one is: too much to lose, too little to gain. If you look back through history, you will see that the most common reason why revolutions happened was because the average person was at risk of imminent death if they did not do so. Usually this came in the form of an economic collapse, food shortages and/or an ongoing war. >French Revolution: terrible grain shortages, high prices and famine, coupled with an apathetic government led to mass decapitation.>Russian Revolution: food was so short people were resorting to selling human meat. Mass starvation even among soldiers during WW1 led to the Bolsheviks taking control and pulling out of the war.>Chinese Revolution: crop failures put the last nail in the coffin of the Qing. In the prior 20 years at least 50 million starved to death.>Iranian Revolution: bread shortages, high food prices, protests begin.>Arab Spring: food prices skyrocketed exacerbating an already bad situation, arguably the catalyst for violence.>1848 Revolutions: almost entirely caused by poor harvests from 46-47, largest wave of political revolt in Europe to date, nearly destabilized the entire continent. Food is nearly the only thing that will get people to move. If you aren't being shot and you've still got something to eat then you can make it through another day. People aren't pacifists, they're just cowards and will only resort to violence and extreme actions when cornered with absolutely no alternatives. If faced with the options "maybe get shot" and "let your children starve to death" people will choose the former.TLDR: if you aren't starving you're not ready to start eating the rich.

>>724299635Zoomer detected. The models and skins they had were so fucking cool it didn't matter. It was t juat retexturing guns, it was having a higher detail and better animation set for any gun in the entire game. No one cared about flexing skins because the flexing was in the skill, and it was a lot of fun to download a new model, throw ot.in game, and thn use it for multiple rounds watching the new anims. Flexing skins is only a thing because retards got behind the idea that your wallet dictated how cool your game looked. >>724300120What this anon said also applies, you could have the most ridiculous fucking skins and force everyone on your server to use them, or make people pay for access to them. Those servers were the minority though. CSS also had tons of modded servers running all kinds of awesome maps with interesting game modes. We're never going back and it's sad desu
>>724270413>tie your account to your phone number and credit card>permaban you if you cheatSimple as. There's only 2 phone carriers (not counting the shitty 3rd one no-one uses) and the 4 banks will get suspicious if you start opening a new account every week for no reason. They could stop all cheating tomorrow, but they dont cuz it'd hurt profits. MMOs have this problem. Why ban someone who's paying a few hundred a month to multibox which rises inflation making more people spend $$$ on subs instead of in-game gold?
>>724262468>dorks relying on game skins to live>but its YOU thats poorLol bro, get a fucking job.
>>724300794meh, i played LoL for a long time with a client side skin changer, it just doesn't hit the same like playing with even the cheapest real skin.
>>724299294You could do that in CSGO, too. Just download a bunch of workshop mods. Many of these later became actual skins in the game.

>>724267043They was a recent study in France that analyzed the result of the government aid to company policies (basically gibs but to company) over a decade.Turn out small company created 90% of the job and corporation destroyed 100 000 jobs.A parlement commision also went to check those aids, here what they found:- first they realise there were basically NO government control over it, nobody knew how much was spent, to who and survey those aid. Basically, money was thrown away at company without any condition, objective, surveillance or garanty.- Once the managed to have the data, they realised that the public gibs to company was a budget of 211 billions of euros. That 3 times the Education budget and 10 times the Justice budget.- A corporation could receive hundreds of millions for nothing and just give it to its shareholder without repercussion
>>724262468Should have put that money into the stock market or crypto lol
Mr Sneedpill has a lot to say about you poorfags
you also need to understand for a lot of csgo players that supposedly don't care about skins but are strangely vocal about it, it was always a matter of grapes are too sour. if valve suddenly made workshops skins free to use you would still have whales flexing and bitter poorfags jerking off to client side cosmetics.
>>724266054as a thirdie, i always thought it was funny how america is the richest and most powerful nation in human history yet most burgers are one bad accident away from being destitute.
>>724267043>No Train-TramWhy is the US so soulless?
>>724294594If the last five years should have told you LITERALLY ANYTHING it's that they'll find a way to do that anyway. Minimum wage has nothing to do with it. They'll price shit as high as they can get away with.
>>724266562>Your employer can legally compel you to humiliate yourself like this and terminate you for noncomplianceAnd then Amerimutts wonder why they have a mass shooting problem...
>>724303028The point is companies know what the poors can bear, if you raise the minimum wage, prices will also go up.If companies raises their prices too much, the poors can't buy. Companies try to maintains a balance.
>>724262468Why do they gaslight themself to think everyone wants their garbage rainbow skins?
>>724303256Except in a non-shit economy the majority of people are above the minimum wage anyway, so prices are generally built around the median wage. Raising the minimum wage only decreases the gap between the bottom and the median.
>>724262468I only ever played CS once in a net cafe with my buddies ages ago, but from what I understand->devs put premium items in game for players to enjoy>makes them transferable between players>idiots who don't give a shit about the game start using the game as some kind of NFT gambling hall, bringing no value to anyone but themselves and taking value away from the actual customers of the game>devs step in and say "actually, these items were supposed to be for players, not NFT gamblers" and crack down on RMT>NFT gamblers are now broke and the game is for players againThat about right? If so, good.
>>724293784Is this why there's 4B market cap? Chinks making shit up with retarded prices?
>>724303339prices are primarily depending on production costs, so raising the minimum wage also raises the cost to produce something and if the company wants to maintain the same profit per product, they also have to raise the price of the product
>>724303586>prices are primarily depending on production costsNo. The price of a product is what someone is willing to pay for it. The very post I was replying to admitted to this. Supply side economics is a myth that has little relevance to the majority of consumer purchases, especially necessary ones.
>>724303701>The very post I was replying to admitted to thishe was wrong too. there is no such thing as "willing to pay". you either have competitive prices, or you're out of business
See the same delusion in AI threads. Shills talk about economic bubbles and profits and can't understand why people enjoy creating things for personal enjoyment.
>>724303880>you either have competitive prices, or you're out of businessThat's the illusion. Companies actually act like a cartel. They're all friends.
>>724303880Sure thing, gramps. Now lets get you back to the home.In the real world, blatant price gouging has made that an absurd and retarded idea that nobody can defend in good faith. Large corporations make plenty of excess profit and there is zero drive to provide things at a lower price than a competitor; competition is done on cornering available market share, advertising, and location. Total production cost and retail price does not approach equivalence on any mass-market good, at all.

>>724303896AI and NFTs are completely different beasts. NFT bullshit is glorified gambling. It has no inherent worth. Unlike normal investment, it's not pumping money into productive business ventures. That's why it's completely died off.AI can be used to significantly boost productivity. In a few years, a small team of devs will be able to generate the minor details that you see in a big budget game without it being obviously low budget. The biggest threat is regulation raising the bar to using it and molding it. And you can expect the AAA devs to buy off senators to create that regulation for that reason.>can't understand why people enjoy creating things for personal enjoyment.Just don't demand that strangers fill your fridge with their taxes. Whether that be through welfare or subsidies.

>>724305803It doesn't affect them? They got their payout. It affected hoarders trying to get the price to go up.
Does anyone play this game for fun anymore or is it just some shitty knockoff gambling casino at this point?
>>724306043Most of the people trading the knives around had a lot of their capital tied up in said knives and have no way to cash out, certainly not rapidly.
>Gabe made my knives less valuable by giving people more knives>Ty Inc. made my beanie babies less valuable by manufacturing too manySame type of retard. Speculation IS gambling.

>>724308468It doesn't have anything to do with that.It has everything to do with the fact that they invested in something that was not only worthless but brought negative value: it made items unavailable to actual end customers who would use them for their intended purpose.The only thing that could have possibly stopped this from crashing in the long run is a socialist apparatus artificially propping it up, like how heavily regulated and social safety net-obsessed NYC stops the real estate companies from crashing and transferring ownership to people who would actually fill those buildings.

You'd need potentially tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars to do so just for this state let alone the others, and when states do try like California for instance it gets bogged down by regulation for decades. They still don't have highspeed rail despite the fact it would heavily decongest the highways.
>>724314392>Said stops are nearly always in places you will get robbed or shotDont they have police at the stations?

>>724314392>Because it's a terrible form of transportation here in AmericaI take it you are not trolling so lets go.Whole USA was covered in them. Like seriously, trams were fucking everywhere and very popular method of transport.The lines were lobbied against by oil and car corpos and the whole "jaywalking" concept was made by car companies. In the end majority of tram tracks were destroyed and more and more car roads were installed with tax money despite all the protests. Then cities got almost WW2'd to replace historical buildings with parking lots so cars had space in the cities.That is tram part.Now lets discuss history of trains in America.America was literally built on rails. Like literally. All of the rails were in the end bought by cargo companies that torn most passenger rails away to maximize profits and get rid of passenger trains. And as we know, murican government got once again lobbied and stuff like amtrak got raped to ground.The system is busted because the lobbying and normalizing both air travel(that lives off of subsidies and we can see how well Boeing was doing) and ESPECIALLY car culture. Remember, you are required to buy a corporate product to participate in society unless you live in a big city, and even then everything is designed around cars(as suburban residents wants to live farther away AND have straight access to city with their cars AND pay low property tax).>Keep in mind that Illinois is one of the big states for the whole train/bus deal and it's not financially viable for them to overhaul any of it.How financially viable are highways, and especially highway expansions?You fell for car propaganda with all the scare tactics and insisting "It's too big of a country"(do you travel between states all the time?). You aren't alone or stupid tho. I used to think supporting my country's storechains was "the right thing to do", but in the end they have high prices and are basically owned by Saudis.Do support local products tho.

>>724302848Because they are... Communist!America thankfully got rid of those!
>>724327826>Whole USA was covered in them.I understand, but we're at a point in time where bringing them back would take an absurd amount of money no state is going to pony up, and the government in general refuses to invest into infrastructure in general. Biden tried and people got pissed at him for it on top of states doing a terrible job at allocating the money they did get. Like, my state only just started doing construction work that was penned back when he threw some of that money into play and you barely see it even if you go into the suburbs of Chicago which desperately needs pothole fixing and road resurfacing let alone bridge repairs. When I go to downtown there is an entire bridge that has all of the street torn up and it's been this way for over two years with no one doing anything.>even then everything is designed around cars(as suburban residents wants to live farther away AND have straight access to city with their cars AND pay low property tax).Exactly, but even if this wasn't the case and we start right now to change it it financially would be an absurd burden costing potentially trillions.>How financially viable are highways, and especially highway expansions?Considering tollways are everywhere in many states? Pretty decent I'd say. Certainly more financially viable than funding the trains at this point in time.We're not at a point in reality where it's possible to shift to such an idealistic scenario of using public transportation to get around without ridiculous amounts of monetary investment and untold years getting it to work. Even if it did get to work the aforementioned issues of public transportation with the homeless and thugs would be massive.Like the California example I gave for a project that was outright supported by everyone it was still plagued by bureaucracy and isn't even close to being finished with billions down the drain just for a relatively small set of rails to be added.

I'm not sure if you understand, but car culture isn't very viable and young people don't buy cars that much anymore.How useful/benefickal will the 12 lane wide highway be?The whole design system is also pushed by Big Box stores which drain even more money.The thing is that nobody is asking you to build some Siberian Rail level project, but at least have local rails so small businesses could have some kind of chance against corpostores.>Exactly, but even if this wasn't the case and we start right now to change it it financially would be an absurd burden costing potentially trillions.USA has thrown trillions to car-centric road infrastructure. No, not road infrastructure but car-centric. >We're not at a point in reality where it's possible to shift to such an idealistic scenario of using public transportation to get around without ridiculous amounts of monetary investment and untold years getting it to work.Japan's highspeed rail went over budget and had delays. It is like people of today don't want to leave a better world for people of tomorrow, but instead just keep things same and comfortable. That is stagnation at it's best.You are making excuses. There is more than enough money, and it has been done before. And USA has bulldozed over majority of it's cities in the past to make highways.Nothing is stopping them except all the lobbying nobody cares about.You are a defeatist

>>724329487I don't want to sit next to stinking shitskins and stabby niggers and you cannot guilt me into giving up my personal propertydumbass kike
>>724329307Now that's a mystery for the gang!
>>724329861Oh god, this is so horrible, you live like this?
I have about $50k cash on hand and live cheap. In most people's eyes I wouldn't be considered poor. I'm celebrating.
>>724329995Thankfully not, but I feel bad for Americans whose all old culture was destroyed so car corpos could make more money.I feel even worse for muricans who have to deal with people defending bulldozing everything historical for parking space.That reminded me of Oxide from CTR whose plan was to make whole earth a huge parking lot. I thought as a kid it was silly(when my brother translated it for me) but now I know where the inspiration came from.
>>724329487>Billions dropped to expand and fix them and they still get jammed.I never said they didn't, I just said monetarily they're still making money from tollways whereas the transit sector is a moneypit that constantly loses money.>but at least have local rails so small businesses could have some kind of chance against corpostores.Local rails are still asking you to spend tens of billions of dollars that the states already don't have. Illinois is constantly running a deficit and is regularly having to screw over teachers or the police to find money.>USA has thrown trillions to car-centric road infrastructure. Over like 80 years, yeah. Now try convincing the entire populous to do that again, especially when car culture has been ingrained as the "freedom" option. You're also ignoring the huge elephant in the room that is homeless and thugs. Even in Chicago where the downtown bougie people live you get things like people getting stabbed, robbed, shot at, harassed, or homeless people pissing all over the place.https://abc7chicago.com/tag/trains/>There is more than enough money, and it has been done before.That doesn't mean that the average person is going to be for it. Just pushing for electric cars and solar panels got people fuming because they didn't believe in green energy or doing better for the planet, and you think NIMBYs and the average person who buys into cars = freedom is going to go for it?NIMBYs in particular are a major issue in the US and unless the government goes full China in taking land they're going to fight tooth and nail to refuse people from outside of their community coming in or having parts of their homes/backyards demolished to make way for these things.>You are a defeatistNo, I'm a realist who is looking at all the issues it presents actually doing so whereas you're just saying we should do it with no way to explain how we go about doing it. The states do not have the money and the populous is against it.
>>724329775Your average right-wing American everyone.If you want traditional USA back or don't want to suck off car and oil corpos, you must be a kike!It is honestly so fucking absurd that a corporate product is such a big identity for right-wing and things like trains are bad. I will never understand why.
>>724262468Skins should be free and there shouldn't be a market for them at all.
But what are we celebrating with for this occasion?
>>724330415>from tollways whereas the transit sector is a moneypit that constantly loses money....Train tickets?And the tolls don't refund the billions that go to maintnentance.>Local rails are still asking you to spend tens of billions of dollars that the states already don't haveLike new walmarts need billions of dollars to build roads by the state and destroys small businesses ON TOP OG losing money in long run. Like come on. See the video on >>724268407>You're also ignoring the huge elephant in the room that is homeless and thugsMaybe you should have some kind of systems that helps people to not have to do crime nonstop. But it would mean taxing rich more and get better paying jobs for people(walmart doesn't help, see the video again how government/states pay walmart to pay bad wages)Like I'm not really sure why you are such a defeatist in general. Whenever I make a decent argument you say "nu-uh people don't wanna". People can protest, I think? Not sure actually in USA now that I think about it.Actually my bad, you are right. It's absolutely fucked up situation so I guess the conversation ends here. Do throw a one more reply if you want but I just forgot how murica handles protests these days.I still remember the old guy who tried to give back a thing to riot police and he got pushed down to tarmac.I'm kinda sad now. I'll just go and watch anime, good luck to you. Stay safe.
>>724274392>handouts destroy middle class and not:>bush's deregulation of the banking system allowing corpos to fuck over people>retarded trickle down reaganomics >Allowing corpos to buyback their stocks artificially skyrocketing price making everything fake and gay>Sending money to isreal with over 50% of budget going to retarded wars>inflation, retarded tariffs on every country on earth, and wages not keeping up>corporations being allowed to buy up homes and or shady shit to price out average home buyers (families) who would've otherwise maintained a steady mortgage>Silicon valley allowed to fuck with peoples psychology to get them addictied to thier phones fucking up the creation of families and therefore a middle class Genuinely fucking kill yourself, corporate dicksucker
>>724263159>leading to an insane crash that wipes out your paper gainsBoogie never lost anything, he is a fat faggot liar. When he said his life was ruined and he lost all of his money, what he actually meant was that he lost potential profits if he had sold the crypto he had when it was going up. That nigger didn't lose a dime.
>>724330565he explained whyalso I've experienced using public transport, in multiple countries and states like new york where it's well funded, safety and mental health concerns aside your options are so limited you can barely call it being alive
>>724262468In opposition to what? They consider themselves rich? Having monopoly money over some pixels? Lmao.
>>724331334>...Train tickets?The ones that are already don't make them any sort of money? Toll roads are at least profitable and basically cost nothing.>tolls don't refund the billions that go to maintnentance.Both sides need maintenance. Fixing the rails that get knocked loose, rotted, or expand/contract too much to make the line unsafe are constant concerns too. It's not as much as having to constantly repave stuff, but it's still something that will happen.>Like new walmarts need billions of dollars to build roads by the state and destroys small businesses ON TOP OG losing money in long run.The government doesn't care about the damage it does to local communities, they see that Walmart will bring jobs to the community and goes crazy ignoring the downsides of it.>Maybe you should have some kind of systems that helps people to not have to do crime nonstop.We do. Hell, Chicago has entire groups that march to stop gun violence, promote youth programs, and promote programs that help stop violent offenders from reoffending. Do you think they care? Andrew Holmes alone has spent like 20 years nonstop fighting against crime and has gotten absolutely nowhere. Whenever you hear about a shooting this man is always there on TV promoting groups and comforting the community.>Whenever I make a decent argument you say "nu-uh people don't wanna".Because you're ignoring reality. You're ignoring NIMBYs, you're ignoring freedom advocates, you're ignoring the reality of states running on empty 24/7 outside of places like Texas so they can't even justify funding these things, etc. You have to convince an absurd amount of people of the positives of this and it can't harm any of their lives to do so which simply isn't possible. You're either going to ruin their homes (NIMBYs), bring in unsavory people (Poors, thugs, homeless, etc), or you're going to take a hell of a lot of money from the state that it doesn't have.I've given you countless example of how this wouldn't work.
>>724262468notice how only the most domesticated consoomer goycattle say this
>>724274392>raise the ceiling >in an era where the richest kikes are richer than was even fucking imaginable not long agoOy vey they aren't sending their best
>>724262867>brother makes an absolute minimum wage>insist on buying expensive shit>already in debt since he was 19 (he's 38 now)How can we stop this?
>>724274392>solution abolish all government programs and reduce taxesHow will the government do and regulate anything if you remove all of its programs and money sources?
>>724334797Why would you want the government to do anything?They're a bunch of incompetent troons and fat old jews
>>724315504Many fags will reject this, but car crashes and roberries beat out public transportation anyday as its a lot worse than its ever been on the road
>>724331589>he explained whyno he didn't>also I've experienced using public transport, in multiple countries and states like new york where it's well funded, safety and mental health concerns aside your options are so limited you can barely call it being aliveSo the solution is to barrel everyone into a car at the cost of our overall infrastructure and societal structure and general public safety as many fags cant actually drive? fuck off
>>724262468>Why are people who actually play the game celebrating over those who refuse to use jewish banks like everyone else?!
>>724262468it's gonna bounce back. buy the dip niggas.
>>724314392America is a fundamentally retarded country. We do things that aren't in our best interest, we let people fuck us over some retarded grand ideal, we suck off corporations and calling anyone else communists as if there aren't any other forms of capitalism and this retarded notion that its neoliberal economics or bust.
Are there any confirmed suicides?
>>724266054The only actual solution is to kill the rich and their immediate family members before taking all of their belongings (ill-gotten or no). People also need to realize once someone crosses the barrier between middle class and upper class that they become evil and must be destroyed.Now watch as capitoids seethe at the truth.
>>724266562People extending pointless meetings by 1 minute makes me want to fucking kill myself. I can't imagine what would happen if I was forced to do this every day.
>>724267043>red lobsterGoddamn this picture is like 10 years old
>>724336387if you own a mouse you must play this game
>>724266562When you realize they probably forced those employees to practice and synchronize this bullshit, it becomes even more egregious.
>>724262468>enjoyedNo. you didn't enjoy CS. You played it as a means of income. CS was a job to you. CS was the stock market. You didn't play for enjoyment or to be the best. You played it for Skins to sell for steam cash so you can buy steam decks to flip for real money.
>>724266562Their shirts say "Steppin' 4 Justice". While I have seen videos of Walmart employees doing this shit, this particular one is a bunch of blacks inconveniencing people at Walmart for some reason.
>>724326874the fields of pink say otherwise
>>724276818Give them money and they wont be poor anymoreBe the change you want to see anon
>>724263045B-B-B-BASED!
>>724262836They seek affirmation that their opinion is correct. They want other people to give the same answer that they themselves have come to so that they can feel a sense of solidarity without asking for it directly.
>>724304740Barracks. Fuck nerds and fuck women.
>>724304740The nu-internet is extremely conformist.
>>724334105we need to RETVRN to victorian sensibilities. arrange him a marriage, give him a small allowance while his wife remains home to raise the children and control the budget + every other aspect of the household. men were never meant to control their own money, they're too stupid and impulsive and easily swayed by things like fast automobiles.
>>724263045AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>724319627They truly revolve/orbit around American news, culture, and current events, then proceed to slander Americans because "they think the world revolves around themselves." I have many European friends+associates that talk about American politics more than they talk about their own politics also. They basically hate-watch and slander us as a coping mechinism while foreign migrants (protected by their govts) consume their nations. We're like their pressure relief valve for them more or less.
>>724337652wow dude that's crazy that people care about the affairs of the all-powerful empire that rules like half the world with an iron first. Nah, they must just be coping and seething.
>>724337791It can be both desu.
>>724334105Ban usury.Can't go into debt for a couch if jews are jailed for offering loans like that.
>>724269975History doesn't repeat.The world changes but we do not change alongside it. We merely react to the changes. Human nature never changes. People will always want the same things. Comfort, validation, sexual gratification, purpose, and meaning. A sense of belonging. We change how we define those things but our hunger for them remains insatiable. It permeates every aspect of our existence.There is great wealth to be gained by exploiting the lowest common denominator. There is great power to be gained by convincing them that you are the only one who can lead them, and then engineering a system wherein no competition can arise. And when you have both wealth and power, comfort, validation, sexual gratification, purpose, and meaning are easy to obtain.Competition will arise nonetheless. Cunning is not inherited by blood but taught by experience. The descendants of those who built the bones of power will be retarded, and they will believe themselves to be mortal gods above the masses. They will slowly lose control, and new leaders will arise to usurp them using the collective power of the disenfranchised, and once all of the old caste is dead or displaced, society rebuilds.But human nature never changes, and people will always want the same things. History does not repeat, but it rhymes.
>>724321996hnnnnng....
>>724326698>whybecause they want to make x% profit and when the price of labor increases they will increase the prices to ensure they still get x% profitand since I don't make minimum wage my wages won't go up proportionally, at least not instantly, so my relative spending power will decrease
>>724263045Good one lad
>>724338114Now that's what i call filename creativity, this entire thread is full of cultured philantrophists
>>724270017Where?
>>724263045It's not about the money, it's about receiving a message
Maybe I'm retarded but turning everything recreational into a get rich quick scheme seems really fucking satanic and jewish.
>>724266868>hey boss, I don't think my religion allows me to participate in activities like this, I'll skip this one and talk to my imam about it if that's ok?Literally all you need to do, what's that fag gonna do? You've gotta beat them at their own game
>>724264841Improving. It really is a giant open beta, very much in the vein of early DOTA2.
>>724264491It’s crazy to me that this shit ever started in the first place. Who gives a shit what your knife looks like in a video game?
>>724263045>>724262913>>724262867>>724263324Best fucking thread in years
>>724263815Since no one else did so I am giving you a ((you)) anon. I chuckled.Paying money for in game items was a mistake.
>>724326874
>>724337791>>724338338I think those things even go together. They seem directly related.
>>724269870I unironically think it's the other way around. The boomer bosses there just have no other future prospects or shit to do in their lives because they've worked at Walmart for 40+ years so organising and participating in these monkey dances is probably the highlight of their week.
>>724262468>lmaoimagine the seethe kek
Let me get this straight, you bought an intangible digital asset with no verification, no dividends, no actual value, nothing backing it, and from a company known to randomly update and break everything... but you're blaming someone else for your new poverty?
>>724262468based poors shitting on cryptotrannies that think they're rich because they have a game skin worth $1k
>>724331539that's why he said paper gains
>>724262468>poorI imagine he is afraid of saying indian, chinese or russian bots.
>>724267043That picture is so grim because my entire state (delaware) is turning into it.>evil ass realtor company (Schell Brothers) buys up all the farmland throughout the state for cheap because farmer died or family doesn't want to keep it>throws cookie cutter houses built for $100k that cost $350k>nobody can afford them except retirees or out of staters who work in NYC/Philly/DC and can afford the 3 hour daily drive so locals are priced out of getting a house>every restaurant is a chain, every store is a big box store because nobody can afford local taxesI sincerely hope America crashes and burns when they don't pay for food stamps next month and everyone fucking riots.
>>724326874Pfffffffffttttttttt
>>724348679>gloating poorfags>It's just moneyok so do you care about wealth or not
How did they not consider this possibility? That Valve would make it all worthless one day.
>>724328197I imagine you have a family and someone to inherit what you earn, or will you die alone with your money?
>>724300596Yeah I'm sure its rednecks out there buying thousand dollar counter strike skins
>>724262468Become anhero
>>724274392America unironically pays less taxes than the rest of the world.It is how that money is used that is the problem.What zoomies on titk tok in this thread fail to understand when they say "Total Corpo Death" is that the owners and shareholders of those same corpos are politicians.There is a latin america type corruption of gibs between people who know each other.That is called an oligarchy.
>>724326874>don't feel anything anymore>suicide watch on all dips for the rest of your lifeok brat
>>724264841With the chinese and russians pulling out, it's getting better. Games across the board too, if you consider the an heroes.
