Rightfully worried IMO
Deck is superior to Switch! And obligatory F—- Nintendo, and their 1990’s mindset with games and hardware. I’m convinced they’ll have to financially fail to start caring. Even a 30% reduction in their sales and player counts should quickly seize their attention.
At this point 2024 is looking like the Year Of Nintendo’s Failures starting off with Palworld. They certainly deserve to fail!
I’d say preventing the rise of another web of right-wing leaders is just as important as fighting a war after they’ve claimed their power. We see ourselves in quite a similar position to the post-Great War, with many governments swinging hard right, media turning to support that, and the base for those future right wing leaders in the Americas and Europe being solidified. I’d say if anything, the way you’ve brushed this off is quite flippant.
But best of luck if the need flee arises! Hopefully if it’s Europe, it’s nowhere the Balkans. You wouldn’t to hop from a frying pan into the fire of a Russian invasion without NATO at full power with US backing (and odds are if Trump wins he pulls out of NATO).
If Trump had served 8 years we’d be in a much worse place as a nation. That’s a hot take if ever I’ve seen one.
Flee where? Canada is no safer, they have QAnon nuts too. Europe’s not looking amazing. Are you thinking Asia? That’s a bad pick if/when the battle for Taiwan kicks off. Africa is not very developed. And Oceania (Australia included) is just too close to the South China Sea to be safe. Unfortunately, we can’t just flee. We have to make a stand, or we’re all lost to this growing global tide of authoritarianism and outright fascism, the way we had to make a global stand in the 1940’s. Thankfully a world war hasn’t broken out, and we still have the hope of influencing our political systems at home before it’s too late.
Yeah, that’s terrifying 0.0 add something like that to that flamethrower drone dog out of Ohio and we’re looking at a real nightmare.
