I could have sworn that when Joe Biden was president, there was a big section of the right wing that loudly proclaimed their belief in free speech (like when they complained about Amazon removing an anti-trans book). What happened to those guys? I don't see them anywhere...

I would be very impressed if this engaged with the arguments I made in the above comment, but it just ignores them entirely

I never thought about that... If you offer a "military discount" should anyone who served in any armed force for any nation be able to claim it? That's an interesting idea...

I get your point, but I think you're misunderstanding the author's intention. He's not trying to build a legal case for prosecution and shared responsibility; he's arguing that political actors (especially on the right) work to exploit social grievances across networks to build coalitions. And, if we look at the last decade, there's PLENTY of examples:

• Steve Bannon understood Breitbart as a unifying right-wing project that could exploit online grievances. As he wrote to Milo: "Dude---we r in a global existentialist war where our enemy EXISTS in social media and u r jerking yourself off w/ marginalia!!!! U should be OWNING this conversation because u r everything they hate!!! Drop your toys, pick up your tools and go help save western civilization."
• The entire path of Gamergate from rightwing 4chan swamps into a pro-Trump organizing tool
• Hell, 4chan launched its /pol forum the same month that its founder met with Jeffrey Epstein

So it's not a question of "Are all these groups coordinating together?" They're not, and the author doesn't claim they are. And also, that's not really how political coordination works anymore. (Although, group chats among wealthy & influential right wingers are very real)

It works much more like, "Do all these groups understand themselves to be pursuing somewhat similar goals, and do they avoid intergroup warfare, and do political actors exploit their grievances and rally them around a single cause (like, say, anti-trans issues)?

And the answer is very much yes.

"Won't let me use it w/o an internet connection" would be such an insane choice on the part of the manufacturer; I hope you're wrong!! But yeah, better to not update just to be safe.

Great point

which one are you?

You don't think that "mens rights activists, MAGA influencers, manosphere podcasters, and fascists" are a collective?

I don't know this game but I love the idea of using my library (on my own device) to do more. Thanks for building!

it's this expensive and the US hasn't even (officially) put any boots on the ground. They've spent all of that on... what? Bombs, sailors, gas, and AI kickbacks from war profiteers? What a colossal waste
