Edit - Lotta video game apologists in this thread. Look past your capitalist dependency on causing violence to other people/animals, and recognize what you're doing. Stop Video Games.
Video Games are a media (superstructure) that reflect the economic base we live in. It is part of the cultural hegemony we live under, that the state uses to justify itself and capitalism.
Violence is an inherent part of this ideological propaganda apparatus (along with patriarchy, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, anti-communism, capitalist normalization etc.)
All media influences the people that receive it. It is "pure liberalism" to believe it does not. If you're a Marxist, you must stand against video games under capitalism.
So what are you gonna do about it other than scream into the void ? If this was a serious problem it would require serious solutions. What would you propose under the current capitalistic system. Posting on this obscure platform known as Hexbear doesnt really count.
if we can light up a hexbear, we can light up an internet, if we can light up an internet, we can light up the world.
tweet at cpusa to get them to add "Ban Video Games" to their platform. I guarantee it'll get them elected.
I salute you. While I wont join you in this strugge I can clearly see you are serious about it. Carry on.
Oh sh*t! LiberalSocialist is lighting up hexbears left and right!
