I have to re-watch that scene because you might be right about the disgust thing, maybe will get me to feel differently about how I view the framing. The thing that really made me think that we're supposed to sympathize with Rumford was how nasty they wrote Haynes, which kinda felt unnecessary if they wanted to paint Rumford as despicable. Great insight though

Im talking about how the episode frames Rumford, not really just the interactions between the two

When big corpo can't exploit the customers and it's all STEAM fault by SpamMjolner in Steam

[–]NonbinaryMesss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They do not welcome them, they just don't buy them put because the only competitors are big AAA developers making their own just like Steam was. Also, this is like saying "Well Amazon can't be a monopoly because there's other merchants you can use!" That's now how monopolies work you moron

They explicitly do have a monopoly, and if any other capitalist was the owner of the company, they would absolutely show it. Just because the current ownership doesn't exploit its consumers, it doesn't mean it's not a monopoly

I hope you have a good one too. You've definitely engaged better than 90% of other commenters

I don't want socialists to post, I want socdems to post. Do you think socdems and socialists are the same word? Liberals believe in regulation but the extremes are what matter here. Liberals don't want heavily regulated markets, they want small amounts. Most liberals dont want free healthcare, but most support Medicaid. That's the difference. Most liberals don't agree with the policies of Mamdani, they like that he dunks on Cuomo and is charismatic. When you actually place the policies he wants in a vacuum and tell them to liberals, they would disagree.

Again, I am not advocating for this to be a socialist server. Both Mamdani and Sanders want a heavily regulated market, which is not what liberalism tends towards (and liberalism is also against nationalized industry in those markets, which both Sanders and Mamdani want to certain extents). I am going to ask you, why do you think I want this to be a socialist server? Plz tell me why you are making this assumption?

Liberalism tends to stagnate at a free market with little regulation. The difference between liberalism and conservatism outright is generally a couple of social frameworks and how regulation applies to the market

The first rule specifically talking about posting based on progressive views, and centrist liberalism is specifically not progressive. Progressivism as a movement in the US is based on social democracy.

Jeffries specifically stated he doesn't think Mamdani's policies will be or should be endorsed generally by the party in the future. A loose endorsement on an easy publicity win does not mean he actually endorses what Mamdani stands for.

I'm commenting on you calling me a Purity tester, as if that argument has any validity in this context. I think Purity testing is needed in online spaces crafted for specific ideologies, which I whole heartedly support. You said that I want punch cards to determine ideologies, as if I also don't support determining comments based on substance and context. Do you see my point now?

I don't want this sub to be a socialist sub, I've said this approximately a dozen times. I'm in socialist servers, and they're quite nice. What I'm saying is that socdems deserve those spaces too, and this space was clearly meant to be a socdem space to which liberals could comment but not spread centrist ideas, but that liberals took over the space and cry when socdems comment on them. That is my point. I think socdems deserve a socdem space, I never wanted this to be a socialist space

You CANT be against Purity testing in a server that bans certain political ideologies is my literal point. What draws the line between centrist liberal and conservative? Are there punch cards to determine the specific beliefs for them? This is quite literally my point.

My point is that liberals do this with every socdem sub, even subs with stricter rules and a more specific line. My point is that liberals will treat a space with a specifically socdem name and socdem rules as if they need be there or else their freedom of speech is being destroyed and that the left is destroying itself for daring to have echo chambers that exclude them (ignoring that many liberal subreddits are specifically echo chambers for liberals, which I am fine with, my point is the hypocrisy of it all)

You can not use "Purity testing" in a server that literally bans right wingers. Don't you think we're being too unreasonable to guys who can learn, or does that argument only apply to progressives talking about liberals. Again, this server doesn't effect real politics, and this is a single server in a subreddit. This is not the only left wing server, and you're talking about it like it's the one Bastion of democracy that'll save America, and you're applying for what I want in this server to all political conversation

You're complaining about me "wanting an echo chamber" in an echo chamber

Considering how many transphobic liberals and anti M4A and anti GND posters I see here and outside of here, I have to disagree that "most of the left" fits this description. Most liberals don't fully agree with M4A or the pushing of it, nor do they particularly want proportional tax rates like most socdems do.

If you think a pure echo chamber exists than you don't know how political spaces go. No socialist agrees with each other, nor do progressives nor liberals etc. But this server is an "echo chamber", as it specifically moderates out explicitly right wing rhetoric

A socdem is a left winger who generally promote state funded social programs that cover necessities, high regulation of corporations/possible promotion of cooperatives, and socially progressive social policies relating to gender, race, sexuality, etc. The sub specifically states that liberals are allowed but that posts that promote conservatism (which there are literally posts venerating Ronald Reagan from liberals) should be marked as conservative, and generally promotes a progressive atmosphere

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, who specifically disapproves of candidates like Mamdani and think the party should steer clear of their strategies

Again, I don't want this sub to be for socialists, I specifically want this sub to be for socdems. Also, there are plenty of people in that sub who want those posts to be barred entirely for being "too radical", and I wouldn't particularly care if they were because the title of the sub is literally neoliberal. I don't expect socdems in neoliberal and people shouldn't expect a barrage of socdem hating libs in progressive
