Yes and quite frankly it's just not bad enough yet to compel enough people to organize and go outside. Also the hurdles now are much much more difficult, we are more atomized than ever, placated by consumerism and the attention economy, constantly surveilled, and lacking the centralized economic choke points that existed 100 years ago. Not to mention the left consciousness really only exists inside academia or is touted by liberal woke scolds who have no connection to labor or struggle.
Not to say it can't happen, but we definitely have our work cut out for us.
Yes this is a major hurdle for American politics as a whole. Americans are so used to things just happening to them. Until a much much larger portion of them actually go outside, change is literally impossible.

Well they are certainly the exception, not the rule. I'll take it, but we definitely got cosmically lucky to have steam exist in this timeline the way it does. 99/100 times it's a soulless shit factory that's entirely reflective of the AAA industry as a whole.
Seriously. Part of the reason they're even so popular is because they aren't actively pursuing profit maxxing/enshittification business practices to corner the market and consolidate market share like every other one of these blood sucking cretins. They really are one of the extremely short list of corporations that ACTUALLY win in the marketplace because their product really is just that good. Running the steam deck with Linux, contributing to the development of Wine/Proton, and telling Microsoft to kick rocks has made me a Gaben fanboy for life. If Steam was the ONLY way you could purchase PC games, I'd honestly be fine with that, as long as Valve remains a private company under the iron fist of Mister Newell.

that last one 😱
His reporting on Gaza is pretty good and his record is consistent. What imperialist-owners are you referring to?
The more they lose the worse it is for them, tbh. Even super conservative judges are allergic to this stuff.
That's not to say they won't try. But I do think they're having a harder time than they imagined they would have. After all, this is the supreme court conservatives have spent decades trying to achieve, and they're still getting stonewalled. If they can't legal their way to supreme authority with this supreme court, I'm not sure I see a way for them to do it at all besides just straight up suspending habeus corpus and calling it a day.
Let's not forget that at the end of the day, these are a group of some of the most cowardly, backbiting, smooth brained slobbering imbeciles the world has even seen. I am still pretty confident that they will fuck this up spectacularly.
