Donald Trump’s White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.

I know that this is potentially a spicy thing to post to this community, but I do think it is relevant to games and gaming. They are advertising it with using likenesses of major gaming brands.

    Yeah, I chose an instance on another continent to help with online anonymity.

    For the number of times my comments get deleted by sook mods for stating that the world needed a violent revolution decades ago, it seems necessary on this platform now. It’s not much better than Reddit.

    P.s., the point of being white european being noteworthy is so that American users stumbling past my comment realise its other whites that want America do be destroyed, it’s not just Iranian farmers.

      Alles gut.

      First point, well I hope it helps. I spend a lot of time thinking about OpSec and even I feel pretty screwed.

      Second point… well that just sucks. For me the whole point of being here is to do better than reddit. I still think it’s a lot more niche but sometimes that just means the sticks up the asses are different.

      For your Postscript, I understand but to be blunt I don’t think the audience who needs that is here at all. But maybe I’m just cynical and think the people who want skin color to matter are a total lost cause. 🤷

        In this coming dystopia of online surveillance and rogue AIs hacking into systems at speeds being deemed a national security threat globally, any bit of obscurity helps.

        You’re right, skin color shouldn’t matter, and the people who do think that are no better than tribalist savages. But if I can convince even one user reading past my comments to realise that this global polycrisis goes beyond race and religion and is a matter of class war with human extinction on the line, then I consider myself to have tried to help in my own small individual way.
