War games - Military propaganda for adults and kids...
Everything I believe is used in favour of those who control it... so why not online war games?
If war games are pumped full of money, then it's likely to be used unwisely and against us or just a waste of time too (Hollywood production consuming our time even if it's free)
█"games like COD are actively used as military recruitment propaganda"
█"Call of Duty Is a Government Psyop..."
Everything I believe is used in favour of those who control it... so why not online games also?
Games also reflects the reality in:
#politics #economics #war #finance #business #power #fascism #kids #online #abuse
@yogthos Hmm well said and seems your right that the habits of many don't have much limit or end to them voluntarily,
█ but I thought the paying would eventually limit that rather than outright payment...
█ and also ability to pirate is much less possible probably as subscription so thinking of all the ways I personally downloaded before (and near-0 for games) I thought it could finally do it and back to offline gaming the oldier and emulation games! (which can be done via RetroArch once I get that working for Street Fighter online!!)
It has help to have less internet at times or less speed for example (as a similar parallel to having subscription or any limits)
So I thought via subscription (also needing banks, regular payment, credit card or whatever) maybe also help but maybe not...
Eventually, I hope people might end up in phases of cutting down everything things and leaving things like TV only... but yeah like you said it's the same and maybe games more so!. Thanks...
P.S I'll remember the phrase:
█"games like COD are actively used as military recruitment propaganda" or even post that now as I don't add externally link though the title is great:
█"Call of Duty Is a Government Psyop..."
Perhaps Science is not whole truth... and lots of bad stuff politically handled with each of those (in picture)...
@jeffowski
Perhaps Science is not whole truth... and lots of bad stuff politically handled with each of those.
Overall science is not clear by those at the top managing / paying for it.

Text version below of replies (not meaning to inflame anything and done very quickly for speed - so pinch of salt).

while airplanes avoiding shortest routes
are perhaps a root thing asking why (if true)
while first hand witnesses of historically impeccable
character say their fellow footballers just dropped dead
or were told not to tell everyone what happened
and so..?
I didn't need science to tell me that, but it's ok you said it
often objectifying people, seeing them as numbers only
I don't consider the non-spiritual sides of *humans* as "universal"
even if government websites say it is or patents exist?
(could be fake but also "look up" (film), they are less likely to spend their time criss-cross skys just for fun. Or gov's are the caring type!?
and so?... not sure meaning. We also see our own mind as evolution no?.. which is perhaps not so clearly invested as the physical sciences (if science is measurably is not exploring those, more the physical evo?)
OK! Agree / Happy with those!
The "Good Cop, Bad Cop" trick is a popular technique because it works even when you know they are doing it. The contrast between the 2 operators makes the less extreme one look mild in comparison, even though they would appear anything but mild in another context. But it doesn't work only with police. It can take the form of "good pope, bad pope" or "good Supreme Court Justice, bad Supreme Court Justice", or even "good media outlet, bad media outlet". Now that you are aware of this trick, you will see it everywhere.
@ninavizz @dalias @BlackAzizAnansi First time I've see WWIII written around- scary and kind of exciting at the same time (the whole re-build of humanity could be idea now more than later).
It seems regularly (naturally within any ant type colony) a natural process exists and even delayed by those bad (as well as causing 2 World Wars already but many mini-wars) like taking toys away from those addicted, though ideally together which is probably hardly possible from this position but I'm educating and still optimistic more than the next person (and not giving up).
Just sometimes need to restart the game.
Tough one but I might just take WWIII overall as rebuilding life and stopping current advance of spiritual death (we're there almost) and enslavement (which is already death, for me and others that are really feeling that)
Seeing a drones take out a tank means we're next anyway.
#war #WWIII #toys #money #power #respect even the #bourgeoise / #middleclass
@yogthos Not owning our games from BigTech / BigBusiness?
Happy in a way for this... probably because I see game playing online as a kind of neutering of people and rending the players as non-players in real life. I don't mean to be cruel but there is always a reason such big money is pumped in gaming and war-games and y'all fell right it those habits. It's a choice I had to make also - stop playing war games, stop impersonal contact and unhealthy empty time (like at the end of the day or night that empty feeling) and I'm sure (you be the judge) a healthy 10minute jump in even every few hours is not what people do... it's sitting their killing time and people (virtually and themselves away from 'real life' <--- however bad reality is still needs better than games, Hollywood, BigTech business for graphics cards etc)
Welcome some attack on that but overall it's hardly possible to be wrong I feel and people stuck with games (and even computers) as wrong cup to overfill and 'we should be' (as humanity) doing a bit better / participating in more things more often.
I do like the idea of players really being non-players and big business to fed and occupy YOUR time with nothing much constructive.
Sometimes people need to have their toy taken away or even simply to go back to #Tetris (some good posts here) and simpler games - not the steroided versions sitting there like cats in headlights!
@yogthos Some people have compared society to an organism, so if we follow that analogy to it's conclusion, I think the phenomenon you bring up can be compared to Psychological Projection. We can go even further and say that if our society is like an organism, then perhaps it has a cognitive impairment.
@Shrigglepuss Might be good to say from where you post but appreciate if would want to say that or dm instead?
I've got about 100 USB 2 USBs that have fake-ass blue plastic pretending to be USB 3 on them, all brand-new (and their capacities are legit, I've tested some) but unsaleable because they're fake as fuck.
Any activist/whistle blowing/etc groups here in need of some very disposable USB sticks? You can have some for the price of postage
@ambulocetus Actually no in many modern 'topsy turvy' logics which has been developed to keep you more ok if you don't do those things and actually supply your physical needs best down that line.
Ideally yes (about what you said) but by design you are committing near suicide starting down the path that ultimately rejects the hand that feeds you (very badly and spiritually doesn't care at all).
So this comment is imagining your comment was direct to those less aware people saying it's better - no it's a hard rocky road from what has been restricted and sterilised that were are trying to grow back full of other sterilised people, much who actively don't want (even on a plate I see it's a choice people make) so I would say it's more spiritual or the right thing from the point to accept whichever way is a losing way, and this or that way has more chance of bringing about better things more often but the constant battle of education and egos, alignment with family will find you rejection sooner than the world (but hopefully some agreement) and in long term weaving the like-minded AND allowing the less like-minded together is something to aim for.
One reason I say this is that people appreciate honesty or not selling any false dream so saying anything is 'better' can be good but saying we accept what best we can do with what we have together without the uncaring people is more the reality and slow curve.
Hope this made sense to allow others to see reality is what we want to serve them and get to work rather than kind of "this way will be better for you and your family" when in many ways it's not once you're "too aware" and need to make sure those around are onbaord somewhat or slowly ask what they thing, then make plans to suddenly move away from them to others as family is often a restriction as well as safety net or false mini-community.
@ambulocetus Kind of like it but perhaps need a bit of clarity because if you are smart and can justify it, that makes sense, but I'm guessing you mean being a patriot is not as simple as that display of a flag?
(the sign and flag - not sure what you meant by putting the two together)

It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.

------------------------------------
A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
