“The White House just marked the end of the console wars; DHS is posting deep fried Halo memes. We are somewhere else entirely.”

        They’re above the economy. It’s really Microsoft and Nvidia holding the bubble up and round tripping all the AI companies stocks.

      Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has warned Trump that if he does this five or six more times, he will continue to provide felatio to Mr. Trump upon request, but he will no longer enjoy it.

    Racism doesn’t flourish because of racist behaviour … the world will always have a few racists around

    Racism flourishes when no one … or not enough people … stand up against it to say that it is wrong and to actually do something about it.

    America isn’t devolving to becoming racists because of some dumb politician … America is devolving because everyone is just standing around doing nothing about it all.

      There’s no “devolving” it’s just that the mask has slipped. The racism has always been there.

        Several years back when it seemed like there was a rash of news stories about cops killing black people and white people trying to get them swatted and the like, I think it was Will Smith who said “racism isn’t increasing, racism is being filmed

      I gotta push back on “there will always be racists around” racism is far from a biological unchangeable aspect of humanity especially because of the changing definition of “race” throughout time.

      The only thing that would have any effect on the situation is MASS VIOLENCE. Like an incredible amount of brutality and bloodlust directed at oppressors and racists.

    Master Chief helped with the Palestinian Genocide right?

    …Wow… what a torpedoing of the Halo franchise, Microsoft is a useless dumpsterfire that spies on you and serves you ads even as it engulfs you in its trashy flames.

    Just make a counter meme about the covenant. A militant band of religious zealots hell bent on bringing about the “great journey” that unwittingly also happens to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy.

    I wish I could say Microsoft ignoring this would make me drop their products and services, but I already do that.

      Essentially zombie like creatures in the halo universe. There’s a face hugging looking thing that as well.

      The poster implies some pretty gross things. In the game, the aliens would destroy a continent if there was even a hint of them. He is very much calling immigrants “sub human undesirables”. Very gross.
