You mean an emulator with save states?

I see you

Anyone have ideas for things to do on a phone besides endlessly scroll on websites? I can’t stay still but also I can’t keep being here. Not sure I even belong here.

You don’t care

No, I’m not going to let you tell me how I get to live my life.

Talk about going to extremes.

I don’t want a government telling me who I can marry, what bathroom I have to use, whether I can own a gun, whether I can drink or not, etc. You people aren’t listening to what I’m saying. I was very clear that I want government to stop people from harming others.

You can keep missing the point and post about “muh voluntary contract” but that’s not at all the same thing. Of course those should be outlawed… they cause harm to people. I want to get rid of Capitalism completely, but I’m not a fucking prude who is going into a UAW meeting telling people they can’t blow $5 on DraftKings this Sunday.

And I don’t need a Republican to tell me what a good Marxist would do

Banning sports betting apps is clearly in the interest of the working class.

No, it’s your personal opinion of what the working class wants. We need to operate in reality, and the reality is demand is there for all of these betting apps and millions of people to be using them every day.

I don’t do it personally, it’s not for me, but that’s not the point. A good communist should go to the masses and build a program based on what they want, not what you think they want

“Capitalism with American Characteristics” is a disease that is poisoning every part of society. I believe it breeds desperation and a “fuck it” attitude and drives people to reckless behavior, aggression, and distrust of others.

I’m not immune. I kind of hate most people, especially here. Society sucks, most people suck.

That’s not a good reason to ban something.

Our laws should protect people from doing harm to others. I couldn’t care less if someone wants to smoke themselves to death. I care a lot if that person is near me blowing second-hand smoke at my face!

Join the club. I’ve been called an “abomination” all my life :)

One last thing: Where does the “vice” label come from anyway? Why are some activities labeled “vices” and others are not? I have a feeling there’s a religious component behind this. I hate that religion has made so many people poke and prod into other people’s personal lives. It’s none of your business what’s in my pants, or how I dress, or what I want to do in my free time. I’m sick and tired of Christians and other religious types always trying to force their lifestyle on me! Leave me alone, and I’ll leave you alone.

One other point: I think pushing to ban things like gambling or alcohol is BAD political strategy! I want a working class movement to overthrow the current U.S. system. We need this movement badly. The last thing the movement needs is to split or fracture because some people want to be nosy about how other people choose to spend their after-bills money. The fact is the left isn’t growing at the rate it needs to, and we should take a long look at why. I don’t believe any tendency has the complete picture. Try something different.

It’s not politically consistent to say on one hand we should liberate the workers from the chains of capitalism, but then turn around and go, “no smoking, no drinking, no casinos, no gacha mechanics in video games, etc.” Right-wingers take away peoples’ choices. You win people over by protecting their treats, protecting their choices, and trusting them to live authentic lives. Even if that means doing things you personally don’t approve of! If you’re not hurting someone else and you are taking care of yourself, go blow that $50 on slots! Go buy that $300 Funko, or blow that money on a new XboxStation 6, whatever. Have fun, I don’t care!
