Left: AI sucks. It kills the planet. It's anti-art. Go fuck yourself.
Right: we found a great new way to brainwash teenagers and ensure we'll stay in power for another hundred years.
It's hard to be effective and have morals. We need to solve for this.
Bold of you to assume this planet can sustain our societies another hundred years, while being conducted by even more conservative leaders.
It won't sustain our societies. It'll sustain their society, and who counts as a valid part of that society will keep shrinking. One by one they won't be white enough, or rich enough, or devout enough. Fascism is a game of musical chairs.
By using a character from a very left leaning game and showing how correct she is.
How correct the fictional racist is?
From the game’s perspective, yes. Though short, it’s clear the game diminishes the main character’s independent thoughts while preaching conformity to the message. The best thing to do is go against the message and establish yourself independent of both sides, which you can do by balancing your choices between Amelia and the adult figures. In the end it doesn’t matter becaue the game gives the same ending of reaching out and joining a workshop, but blindly trusting either side is wrong.
I mean the fictional racist is wrong even if she non-conformist too...
Always has been.
