Watch Lemmy turn one of the few apolitical posts about something American into something political in 3… 2… 1…
Politics is important but sometimes I just want to play a video game without someone turning the conversation to politics when that wasn’t the topic at hand at all. I’m super angry about all the things my country is doing now too, but I also sometimes want to enjoy what I have left instead of being constantly stressed about it and bringing up the horrors happening at every opportunity—especially with just a comment about if a truck driving sim that seems to be mostly just about driving will suddenly implement something political and unpleasant (when we know they probably will not, that’s not the vibe they are going for) and no links to taking action. (Here are a few, albeit aimed at Americans.
On the other hand, people have to vent sometimes and I guess I need to build up tolerance and a thicker skin to that, even when it shows up in a place marked Games and not US Politics.
Eh, to each their own, to me it wasn’t funny at all. Not in a this is offensive way, I can appreciate dark humor, but the impression I personally came away with was “annoying snarky comment” and less “incisive, witty, funny and topical joke”. Of course, my impression is probably extremely colored by my feeling it was just barely on-topic and a conversation hijack away from American Truck Simulator to American Politics, but I also have seen American politics comments that I found funny and this wasn’t one of them. Glad you enjoyed at least, as well as the other people who upvoted, nice to see people getting value out of it where I couldn’t.
yeah other countries arent xenophobic at all they love minorities, as a minority im glad I live in california, I dont hear great things about elsewhere, family from europe are always suprised by the diversity
Will it stimulate the downturn in shipping demand by making it harder to get work as the USA pushes itself and the rest of the world into recession.

I get what you say but in this case the comment was still kind of funny in a satyrical way.

No, that’s a DLC. Second most popular one behind “driving while being a minority”. With that DLC you get pulled over and harassed randomly.
