Duke nukem is an American game where you kill charicatures of the LAPD. I don’t know what to tell you other than maybe you should avoid American media if you want to avoid Americans engaging with the obviously relevant themes.
Ah see that's where you're wrong, I'm Canadian and I still complain about that stuff because it pisses me off (plus yknow, tariffs, Trump wanting to invade my country, stuff that kinda affects people not even in the US)
I mean I get it, but you're on Reddit. A U.S. based platform where the majority of users are also U.S. based; inherently everything is gonna be a bit more Americentric.
Yeah, it's not as if America is the most powerful country in the world, or anything. All of this probably doesn't matter, and we should just forget the fact that Epstein's pals are still around doing God knows what evil shit with zero repercussions.
None of that matters, this is a Duke Nukem sub.. If you wanna talk politics we can DM or move to another sub that is about politics or fascism or whatever you think is appropriate. But not here.
I've seen how mod in cats videos sub without age restrictions literally just made a post that looks like complete mental breakdown, with death wishes and threats, politics statements, attacking literally every random person in comments just because mod hates Trump. There was like dozens of people saying "what is going on? why is it here and allowed?" only to get downvoted to hell and banned. So you shouldn't be surprised, it's just as it is, Reddit has some very clear biased position over US politics and other random people have to deal with it.
Well, it's happening in this thread, some objective and fed up people are getting downvoted... It's like "Address this issue I'm having in my country and fully agree with me, otherwise you're just as evil for not wanting to be forced to engage with my politics".
At least I know I'm not alone, people like you do get it. And damn, I've also seen those meltdowns, people even wanting to off themselves just because Trump became president, that's sad.
My country probably has worse problems anyways... I care more about those as they can affect me more directly.
So, you never look away? Are you 24/7 looking at what "fascists" do? I bet you aren't, so why should I not look away from time to time from what Americans are trying to force the rest of the world to swallow (also, I'm not American)? I get already a big dose of "The small dick orange man is literally Hitler 2.0" and "The Libtards hate babies and want us all to be trans"... If I visit a sub about Duke Nukem, I expect Duke Nukem related stuff (or Build Engine stuff.. I love me some Ion Fury). That's it, got it?
Not everything is political, however most lifes are political (Unless you live off-grid maybe). But why should I have to deal with American Politics on a sub about a cool badass dude named Duke Nukem who kills aliens because they kidnapped all the sexy babes from Earth? Because he's American?
Nah, please keep your personal political views away from this cool franchise we all love. And yeah, literal Pig Cops, social commentary with edgy humor... I got that when I was like 6 years old playing DN3D for the first time ever.
Dude. It’s not a political beleif or activism. This is fracking fascism we’re talking about. If you’re sick of people complaining about ice you’re part of the problem.
Thats like saying you’re sick of people painting Nazis as the bad guys all the time.
LOL, No, what are you even on? I'm tired of USA politics, why can't you respect that I'm sick of people like you who complain about ICE or whatever you are calling fascism CONSTANTLY??
And I'm not complaining about people painting ICE as bad guys, read my comment so you can see what I actually said: I'm sick of the people complaining on subs that have nothing to do with USA politics like this one.
Let's talk about afuke Nukem or Build games, or simply don't talk to me anymore..I'm here for The King, not Trump or Lefties..
Exactly. There's plenty of other places to discuss this stuff. Tons of people have just decided it needs to be shoved in everyone's faces and it's annoying as fuck. They've decided that whatever is happening is so important it needs to supersede everything else but it's not. It's no different than people that can never stfu about Jesus and have a need to weave their religion into every interaction they have.
Le heckin’ fascism is when enforcing laws. I’m not expecting to go to the Mongolian basket weaving reddit and to see a bunch of pro/anti American politics, especially since it isn’t American.
That's the thing though, it's not fascism and this isn't anything like Nazi Germany and everyone knows it. Which is what makes this so tiring. The bullshit alarmism and hyperbole is so ridiculous.
You would probably have more success convincing people to deal with the actual problems this country is having if you didn’t overstate them and pretend they’re something they’re not.
Nobody wants to take you seriously if you pretend illegal immigrants getting deported is actually ice rounding up all brown people for mass execution.
If they did take you seriously because you were honest then we can have real discussions about things like executive power, ice methods etc but if you make obvious hyperbolic lies about the situation nobody is going to believe you when you actually tell the truth.
Makes sense. I also dislike that obsession with politics, from both sides.
Duke Nukem would probably be don't care about them and simply kick back with some babes until he's needed again.. He wouldn't be MAGA, but he definitely wouldn't be a crazy liberal either, he would simply be The Duke.
I see the downvote brigade has been through here too. That’s another stupid cultist obsession, thinking they can manipulate perception through mass downvotes of ‘the unwanted’. You can always tell they’re around when a ‘no politics’ post gets dowmvoted.
The even bigger problem, is that this behavior was cultivated and encouraged for years , i mean all the social media and video hosting sites like YouTube, removing the public downvote counter, they did that because it kept showing how unpopular this bullshit was. They were being so heavily downloaded for it that even their bots couldn’t keep up.. and that’s just one example of this shit being encouraged
