Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you already bought: Time-based a la carte charges come on top of the purchase price for the games themselves. (arstechnica.com)

If they did that, the technocapitalists would just make Chinese hardware illegal.

If Americans cannot get their treats and the bread and Circus stops, then they will resort to other means of expressing dissent.

The USA is highly individualistic and materialistic. If they can't get their treats, then stochastic crime will take place (not that I'm against that, fuck capital).

I totally agree, which is another reason we should not expect China to save us. Their ideal world is one where Americans finally take power from the capitalist class.

My ideal world is that but we immediately also start to undermine the Chinese as well through decentralized production and logistics so good it makes over seas shipping too expensive. Mind you I want that for the entire world, you cannot fathom the arousal I feel at the idea of a Trans-Berringia trains bridge to connect the logistics of the old and new world, also the Trans-African rail should be completed to such an extent that goods in the Congo are as cheap as goods in LA.

That's my ideal world too though. You say that like it's a bad thing.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Yes, it’s also my ideal world. Sorry if I came across as pro-capitalist 🤮

Exactly. And they will use the excuse that the chinese hardware might spy on us, all while the hardware they allow us to buy is doing that openly.
