This is called cyberpunk and it's absolutely the future except without 80s/90s tech and the magic and stuff

if you aren't playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds what are you even doing

Like, he's pretty much what you'd get if you took a deconstruction and then proceeded to play it completely straight, without playing off of the fact that it's a deconstruction. It's low-key brilliant. Or perhaps I'm just over analyzing it.

It's only been out 9 years, man. Give it another 30. You've got time.

Yeah but there are worse arguments made other places, so you can't complain.

It's weird how people argue "can't you the gains we've made in terms of civil rights" and the other side goes "yes we acknowledge that but we still have some ways to go" and they still go "yeah... but we've come so far, isn't that good enough?"

Like it's weird the selectivity of what things we should aspire to be greater at.

The contradiction of Republican support:

Emerson Slain, a nonprofit worker and Republican in Ferriday, Louisiana, says he’s been harmed by Obamacare. But like the protesters in Washington on Tuesday, he’s not sure the replacement plans will improve matters. He also gained coverage under the law that he doesn’t want to see disappear.

...

So what about the new replacement plan? Is it any better? “I think it’s Obamacare lite,” he said. He’s particularly critical of the age-based subsidies, which he views as another entitlement program.

On the other hand, Slain doesn’t want Medicaid expansion to end in 2020, as Republicans are now proposing. That’s the part of the law that will directly impact him, and perhaps limit his health care — however imperfect — or take it away.

Medicaid kinda is an entitlement program there.
