If you’re a member of this society and disabled, society should take care of you, otherwise it’s a shite society.
The problem is our society is hostile towards the concept of… Society.
We’ve been poisoned to believe individualism is strength when it is weakness. We’ve been propagandized to resent Americans when they fall on hard times, angry when they draw on herp derp muh tax dollars so as not to die when they lose a job or get an illness.
The US has a profound, deep rooted culture problem. We’re more a gaggle of wannabe rugged individuals undermining one another for oligarch crumbs than a society. That’s why I want this place to collapse, as both parties want that hyperindivualism poison to keep running us, because only under that die alone, sink or swim, winners and losers race to the bottom national ethos can the owners continue to exploit us to death for ever moar profit that’s still never enough.
It’s brought nothing but misery, it’s destroyed the social contract, and it’s destroying the planet. If we do not end our worship of the individual and the pursuit of avarice, it will end us.
And if this somehow fails impress you, we sold over 200 billion in tools of mass murder to the rest of the world last year alone as well!
Murica 🇺🇸, profiting off human misery since our inception, the British Empire apparently passed that torch.
I know I’m in the minority, but I fucking love Starfield.
It’s a galactic scale zen garden when I need peace.
It’s a shooter/space combat sim when I choose violence.
There’s things that aren’t good about it, it needs so many more factions, followers, and NPC interaction points to fill the fish bowl that’s there, but there’s so much to love too, IMHO.
In a time where MOST major studio games have turned to no effort live service dogshit, I think hating on flawed but grand games like Starfield as just more unsalvagable garbage is just an invitation to studios to keep churning out actual garbage like Suicide Squad since there’s no pleasing modern gamers so don’t bother trying, just lean entirely on an IPs nostalgia.
That phrase is again just the perverse villainization of the social contract and being a society, and it ultimately only benefits those that want to extract wealth from societies instead of being a member of one.
I’m sorry that it sounds like you’ve internalized that capitalist aggression meant to keep our citizenry undermining one another instead of lifting one another up. If you’re disabled, your society should be judged for failing to give you adequate aid.
