Trying to simplify "Join a union" is absolutely not a good idea. That's literally Pokemon go to the polls hillary type of stuff.

But the article isn't about simplifying marx into gamer speak. That was not my intention. Videogames are just as fake as the Economy, it's not difficult to pivot into real world problems from bideogame problems and arrive at the root cause of them and how to address them, because the root cause is ultimately the same, that's why gamers are so miserable and why they should stop gaming and join a union, because their life doesn't have to be filled with misery. That's it really. Like you said that is the only function they can serve.

But I'm not here to argue I just don't want to be misinterpreted. I don't have access to ADHD medication so it can be difficult, probably should quit doing commentary tbh it's happened to many times already. I'm grateful that people take the time to correct me and making sure I don't cause harm. I try to stick to just linking theory to people to read although it can make it seem like I'm being dogmatic so it's complicated. I just hope any of the orgs I reached out to respond, but they haven't so I just come here to try to be useful, but you tell me maybe I'm just doing more harm than good. I would gladly leave if I'm a net negative.

I don't think what you are engaging in is a net negative. Any engagement is good, though it would be better to be doing it irl, obviously. I'm the same way, it's not that what I view you doing as harmful, just not really theoretically correct. My thing is that it is basically one step forward, one step back. Now, maybe that step backwards is necessary to take two steps forward, idk, but I am personally arguing that it isn't and feels like we are making more work for ourselves in the future.
