All the (mostly white) libs in there more upset about them “violating her privacy” (in a distance from the stalls) than Sinema herself. All the while Sinema continues to ruin said protestors’ lives in a more “civil” way.

Dems proceed to blame progressives for their failures and punch Left more in 3, 2, 1…
It’s entirely intentional that Joyce is one of the more affable people you come across juxtaposed to Evrart who is an unscrupulous sleazeball; yet one is knowingly an agent of Capital perpetuating misery (and eventually death) in Revachol while the other represents a net good for Martinaise and potentially a force for positive change, however messy and flawed. The game isn’t even subtle about it.
People hung up on his amoral actions in that thread are apparently missing the wider context about how bleak things are in a city where Corpos feel comfortable enough to hire bloodthirsty, racist mercenaries to break strikes. Or how every little bit of organized struggle on the ground is what revolutions (“The Return”) are made of.

Yeah, no. Not even as a joke. The cartels are utterly vile, and have a lot of innocent blood on their hands in the name of profit. The only reason they’re hunting down police is because those particular police won’t tow their line. Otherwise, they have no problem exerting their influence on the Mexican state and its enforcers “peacefully” (as they’ve shown within the last several decades). Should we also celebrate corporate private militaries and assassins in other countries, as well?

It’s been hard trying to ram into liberals’ thick skulls that the “lesser evil” voting shtick that comes every four goddamn years doesn’t quite energize people to haul their asses to the booths, especially when said lesser evil is the incumbent. But I’ve seen some come around recently, so it’s something.
