    This reminds me of a video I can't find. As I remember it, it was a bunch of Anglos using VR to "experience" what it's like for children working in mines in Africa. No surprise, most of them reacted badly and/or tapped out.

    Then at the end they asked the people what they thought VR should be developed, could make people more empathetic, etc. and they all were in agreement. Then it turns out the kids were mining materials for tech components like the VR goggles and the people were still in agreement. agony-deep anglo-burn

    Okay, hear me out.

    In exchange for an end to the war, both Putin and Zelensky can issue one another exclusive commemorative NFTs. This will bind them in friendship and also create a real financial incentive for lasting peace.

    Forced empathization treatment for class war mongers:

    You will experience a day in the shoes of a landlord until you display considerable empathy to the propertied class, brutish scum

    Now put on the glasses and pay your rent

      or we could do real gulags and make them do real labor

      every retail store a gulag staffed by former PMCs, petit bourgeois, and bourgeois. and then we can pay former retail workers to be as rude to them as they were

        I'm imagining someone sitting on a stool while people stock shelves or whatever, and just insulting them every few minutes with a scowl on their face.

    If this was a real thing, it would absolutely be turned into the Torment Nexus.

    The truly sad part is, is that this is one of the most respectable mainstream newspapers in Germany. The bar really is that low.
