I believe that's referred to as a "thumb". They're actually quite common.

Not that responding to fascism with incredible violence isn't based, but stuff like love and hope and other lame sentiments like that are actually necessary to defeating it. People fall to fascism when they lose hope for a better future.

There's a difference between acknowledging the problem and going around telling people that the problem is hopeless and we're all doomed. I certainly didn't find it especially informative.

We need to make counter memes for this bullshit, everyone circlejerking each other over how hopeless the situation is doesn't help anyone.

No it's absolutely that serious, pushing climate despair is the current number one tactic of oil billionaires.

You realize that corporations are smoothly pivoting from promoting climate denial to promoting climate despair, right? They want you to think that it's hopeless and that there's no point in trying, but we actually still have a chance to prevent the worst climate change outcomes. Please stop spreading this shit.

This take is absolutely deranged and exactly the sort of thing I like to see here.

Aw the angle is so cute with their blush.

I'm gonna say probably not, if he were Valve would be full-on employee owned. I will say he seems a little less uh... warped than most prominent billionaires, but that's not exactly a high bar to clear. Overall he seems like an okay guy but I don't know him and have no way of telling whether he's secretly a dick or something.

You should hear what they have to say about the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Apparently failing to stop the nazis is worse than actively assisting them in conquering and oppressing Poland.

So called "anarchists" when you touch their pro-state.

I have no idea, I think it means whatever you want it to mean. Usually folks interpret it as visiting the sub and then going to a different one but you could also interpret it as leaving permanently, like I said it isn't actually enforced. It's just meant to encourage lots of irreverent posting.
