To be charitable, they aren’t the best known for their critical thinking skills 😂

Maybe the homegrown Evangelicals anticipating some form of war in Israel leading to the rapture are looped in there somewhere. Something like a weird rich American Freemason group blackmailing politicians to support Israel. Totally spit-balling here, and I know it sounds crazy, but the Epstein-CIA-Israel-Blackmail situation is already pretty wild.

I was very careful to explicitly say not all Muslims, so I’m going to assume you’re engaging in bad faith and will end this conversation. I will continue to fight for Muslim freedom to worship peacefully, as I do for people of all faiths (and races) without your approval.

I didn’t believe that Hamas, Al Qaeda, and ISIS were exclusively from Palestine. It’s not racist to say many otherwise good Muslims are complicit in terrorist atrocities the way many otherwise good Christians are complicit in conversion therapy and bombed abortion clinics.

Fewer nukes are a good thing, especially when taken out of the hands of governments whose state religion routinely gives itself over to the worst possible version of itself.

Your concern is the world burning, so you prefer to stand idly by and allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons? World destroying bombs in the hands of people who routinely encourage and celebrate martyrdom, going so far as to use their own children as weapons and human shields?

Go ahead, take over with your country! If you can’t manage to, you understand how helpless the average American is to change any of this.

He talked about it on the Steve O podcast and IIRC yes, it was bullshit for the most part.

I’m not counting on EA to be ethical.

If I can fully play the game - all areas, skateable features, tricks - without involvement in MTX, I will be both satisfied and surprised.

I would rather pay $60 to own and be able to fully play the game. However, my response came from my perception of surprise and doom-and-gloom by the community when we already knew it would be free-to-play.

The game is free to play. If cosmetics are the only micro transaction, that’s actually good.
