My biggest issue with Epic is them very clearly doing the classic tactic of selling goods at unsustainably low prices in order to drive out competition before jacking them back up again. Their whole free game shtick can't possibly last forever and they know it.

I don't think every piece of media has to promote revolutionary politics in order to justify its existence.

Superman's primary villain is literally a white collar criminal that uses the system in order to stymie efforts to hold him accountable. A lot of superhero media could stand to be more critical of the police and prison system but it's a little more complicated to dismantle capitalism than it is to foil violent crime and respond to accidents and disasters.

I'm in the awkward position of being genuinely excited by this type of technology while desperately wishing literally anyone but Elon Musk was pushing them.

James Cameron actually has a lot of experience in submarine exploration, if any celebrity should be weighing in on this it's him.

I take the radical perspective that people dying horrible pointless deaths is a bad thing and should be prevented. Yes, even stupid rich people.

I believe that's referred to as a "thumb". They're actually quite common.

Not that responding to fascism with incredible violence isn't based, but stuff like love and hope and other lame sentiments like that are actually necessary to defeating it. People fall to fascism when they lose hope for a better future.

Dealing with climate change isn't a binary either/or thing, there's a huge range of potential outcomes we could fall into. Suffice to say that the more we do to reduce pollution now the better things will be in the future, even if we've missed our chance to completely avoid significant warming. We've only barely invested in renewable energy and it's still having a massive impact on emissions.

There's a difference between acknowledging the problem and going around telling people that the problem is hopeless and we're all doomed. I certainly didn't find it especially informative.

We need to make counter memes for this bullshit, everyone circlejerking each other over how hopeless the situation is doesn't help anyone.
