Commiunism

Have you tried just giving the friend MP code and them joining through it? Worked for me without any zerotier, so it could be repack dependent. I used the GOG version.

It’s not meant to be a democratic poll, but rather a PR stunt.

They did this kind of a poll in 2012 after they fucked their game up with Evolution of Combat update and most people quit as a result, but then they decided to make a vote if they wanted old school servers back which blew up on all the corners of the internet and it was the most talked about thing.

This poll works in almost exactly the same way and their goal is for RS3 to gain new players. They know 100k votes will be easily met given how there’s around the same amount of RS3 players and OSRS players will act as “cavalry” that’ll come into aid due to social media’s call to actions, they’re just hoping it’d create enough buzz for people to pick up that version of the game again or people to learn about the game through media. The poll had no chance to fail.

Surprised it took that long ngl, the game especially at the start was a dumpster fire that lost 95% of it’s players in like a couple if months

Activism

Truth nuke

it’s called material conditions sweaty, you wouldn’t get it

Pocket it. Won’t make it any better to live in, but neither will a pitiful investment that’s enough to host one event that’s forgotten in a few days

Marxists would get annoyed at liberals crying fascism at things that aren’t fascism. It’s a very specific thing

Like 40 million working class people are about to lose their SNAP benefits in the US, but everyone seems to care about some clown house that most people aren’t going to even visit.

God I love the news and nationalism

Real liberal democracy has never been tried

And replace them with what? What’s the enemy here exactly?

Yeah, it’s your personal responsibility to vote for the “good” candidate, with voting for the “bad” candidate being an individual’s moral and mental failure as opposed to it being caused by shifting material conditions, crises or simply just failure of liberal political side to garner enough support or them targeting only the affluent middle-class intelligentsia.

Why don’t everyone just vote for the good guys, are they stupid?

I went through the same exact thing somewhat ““recently”” after realizing reforms aren’t gonna do jack shit, media creating narratives obfuscating reality and this obfuscation of reality being heavily bought into by people both online and irl.

You’re likely getting radicalized leftward, and this emotion and panic is a temporary part of it. It has happened to me and to others in the past, but this intense feeling eventually passes.

What helped me personally in the later stages was getting a coherent worldview, reading and studying some political theory so you can actually spot what doesn’t fit in the news and in the comments, know what’s actually in your interest to support rather than falling for some general moralizations, etc.

I’m down to talk more about it if you need it, this can really be hard to go through alone (speaking from experience).

True, but the post isn’t really talking about democracies in general but liberal democracies (the specific societies kind you mention), stretched to a worldwide scale. Probably should have clarified that.

From an objective materialist standpoint, democracies are a tool of the ruling capitalist class to legitimize its own rule and keep their position of class domination while providing an illusion to the working class that they have some sort of power in the matter (they don’t, all candidates are pre-selected so all you can choose is essentially the “flavor”, who ultimately gets selected usually is determined via campaign money spending and media, once they’re in power they gotta preserve the state machinery and capital in place etc).

Nationalism is also a very powerful tool of capital to unite people under single unified volk, deliberately obfuscating the class that might divide said volk and it’s constantly used by opportunists and conservative elements.

Given these two statements, I don’t think a world government like that can even exist, or if it did it’d implode via separatism from opportunists who want to be the next “great man”. US for the longest time was and still is closest to this kind of position though, but they sure as shit are never going to let foreigners vote.

Not for Disney, they don’t need the publicity. Jimmy Kimmel’s show on the other hand would benefit drastically - just look at the publicity he’s been getting for the past week.

Perfectly executed publicity stunt

I find it funny how this question is being asked on Lemmy of all places, where the definition of fascism has been completely lost (essentially now being some vague notion of right-wing evil)
