    Music is making younger generations lazy.

    Nono, it’s books.

    Nono, it’s film.

    Nono, it’s TV.

    Nono, it’s music again, but only certain kinds of music like rock and metal.

    Nono, it’s video games.

    Young men who are capable of playing video games all day are likely depressed, and have a clinical problem. Our volition to be productive was demonstrated during the 2020 lockdown and the great resignation of 2021-22, in which young men (as with all other working demographics) learned:

    • They felt better in a non-toxic work environment
    • They couldn’t couch potato for more than a week without getting fierce cabin fever, and
    • They got highly skilled when they were doing a thing they liked.

    The ones who resigned from old jobs were the ones who were able to monetize their hobby enough to quit. Many more got productive, but didn’t find something in their craft for which there was a ready market.

    Speaker Johnson is a fierce MAGA and conforms to the common fascist trope of never speaking in good faith. See Sartre’s antisemite quote.

    With several perspectives including that crunch remains a thing in AAA game development, our ownership class and CEOs are less concerned about maximizing profits than they are being lords with a feif and peons (compulsory servitude).

    Oh and death to all monarchists. Disney deaths preferred.

    "No one has talked about cutting one benefit in Medicaid to anyone who’s duly owed—what we’ve talked about is returning work requirements, so, for example, you don’t have able-bodied young men on a program that’s designed for single mothers and the elderly and disabled. They’re draining resources from people,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson last week.

    ‘Get fucked poors, sucks to suck when working full time still keeps you below the poverty line. Can’t afford to pay for you lazy fucks to see a doctor when we’ve got rich people who need the money more’

    Actually I am playing videogames all day at work, thank you. NHS provides free corridors to die in if I need healthcare.

    Pretty rich coming from a guy who lets trump take every power congress is supposed to hold. WTF does he even do at work? If we stopped paying him, would anything at all happen? Every republican seems like a whiny crybullying grifter to me.

    Lots of my friends play games everyday, and all day if they can sometimes. They are also hard workers. It’s how we unwind.

    The amount of dirty looks I got today casually playing slay the spire on my steam deck as a 41 year old man in the waiting room of a medical facility was pretty impressive.
