    I already proved it, you just keep denying it. As I said it is okay if your country is not what you think it is.

    I suppose most people would not agree the US is fascist. It is and has been ever since corporations took hold. It was always proto-fascists though. They just didn’t invent a word for it yet.

    Mussolini said fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. People seem to link it Nazism, but in reality it is not about that.

    You see the Nazi modeled their final solution after what the US had done to the Native Americans. They admired the fascist state the US had created and how they murdered the Native Americans en masse.

    To top it off a bunch of wealthy US people were bankrolling the Nazi. US business was even helping them. IBM used their computing power to number the Jews for extermination.

    Of course the US went on to spread fascism all over the world. They called it “Democracy” but it is just authoritarianism coupled with unchecked capitalism using the wealthy’s favorite proxy, the corporation.

    I get why you get all defensive. I am clearly not going to convince you that your country is fascist, but it definitely is. Most people will disagree with me, but they are wrong.

    Fascism, as I pointed out, is when authoritarianism meets corporations. This unchecked capitalism brings out the worst of people. It produces billionaires and soon to be the first trillionaire.

    It doesn’t have to be wrapped up in Nazism, it has many flavors like fascism lite with the first women president who is here to change things aka maintain the stays quo for the wealthy.

    Until this is reigned in we are all living in a fascist world controlled by government infested with corporations directed by the wealthy. The is no democracy just more breads and circuses for you. And boy do you eat it up!

    Trust me, I come from a very fascist society. I can sense this stuff a mile away. The Mexican people are wonderful, but their government is beyond corrupt.

    I hope you prove me wrong and everything magically changes from this point on for Mexico because their track record is looking bleak. The statistics don’t lie.

    I have no doubt the US will also pull Mexico down as it already has and will continue to. Once you realize the truth it sets you free. You no longer wonder why you have militarized police or why people disappear. It is the corruption inherent in the system.

    For me it brings a certain amount of peace. I am no longer gaslight by everyone all around me. It begins to make sense. Then I can start working on real solutions.


  • No surprise, a conservative in denial. You really believe Mexico suddenly changed and is not a dystopia of corruption, income inequality, and cartel fiefdoms. This is exactly what the US will be looking like soon.

    But, hey I get it. Ignore reality because your life is pretty okay, maybe even good. I got mine and oh look at this tasty propaganda that will make me feel like there is change for the better.

    You think this is some game, but it is just you in denial this whole time. First, that the world isn’t already fascist. It is.

    Second, that your country is not also into fascism. It is.

    Your counterpoint is we elected a leftist!? The reality is this leftist is a prop so the wealthy can go on denying your countrymen healthcare, taking bribes from the cartels, and turning your people against each other.

    It is okay that you don’t get it.

    Typical right winger talking point, starts whining about respect when they have no answers.

    I will not disrespect my son-in-law the way you disrespect everyone who has been used and abused by Mexico. His family home had dirt floors.

    The fact that a lot of Mexico’s problems come directly from the US is also no surprise. Two nations fucking over their citizens in the name of fascism.

    You know why the US didn’t turn Mexico into US States after the Mexican American war right? Yeah, I didn’t think you actually paid attention to history let alone what is currently happening.

    No clue about history or the future but bold enough to demand the proof right in front of their eyes. Fascist apologist class traitor, but you got free Internets! It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

    Oh look who has their feathers in a bunch, sorry not sorry for calling you out.

    We both know you know jack shit about fascism, so please do everyone a favor and just stop talking about it. You are the definition of clueless.

    You gave 14 points of bullshit propaganda. As I said from the start.

    I have family from Mexico and they have backed up everything I said. Antonio thinks you are full of shit.

    You keep pretending this administration is different!? Are they going to demilitarize the police? You are so naive it hurts. I will happily eat my words if I am wrong. Here is the rub though, I am not.

    I don’t need to apologize for Mexico. I don’t need to apologize for the US. They are both fucked. Your nationalist pride is the perfect example of what fascism is. Denial of the truth.

    Now the state is not even responsible for the police!? You are literally running with the goal post now. Pathetic.

    You definitely moved the goalpost.

    You don’t even understand fascism, please stop pretending.

    We all know Mexico was very corrupt and continues to be very corrupt. Two-thirds of your countrymen agree. Your opinions make you an outlier.

    You have not provided any evidence or even a good train of logic other than “things are better now” which is objectively false. Things are very bad which you deny because you have bought into propaganda around a few watered down reforms and a popular “hope” President.

    This is bread and circus for you. You are the definition of a cheap date. Impressed with a few words and no real action.

    https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2025/country-chapters/mexico

    Over half the people detained report being physically abused. You literally blow the US out of the water. The more I read the more it looks like you live in a much worse fascist state than the US. I thought we were bad.

    100,000 people disappeared!? You would make any fascist blush with this shit.

    38 percent of people confessed to a crime after being beaten!? Oh God you are seriously fucked up for denying this.

    One of the highest rates of income inequality in the motherfucking world which is one of the biggest predictors for fascism btw.

    Yeah, you are a fascist enabler in denial no question about it.






  • If higher price points were truly affordable for most people I would agree with you. I don’t, because they are not.

    I am of course okay with you paying whatever you want within reason. I am not okay with companies who are failing to innovate charging progressively more money because of a monopoly they have created.

    I think it breaks and unspoken agreement between the parties around value. This is why I chose not to get a Switch 2. I sensed that Nintendo was doing yet another money grab without the development work they should have.

    The lack of Switch 2 games really highlight this and it is very disappointing. I am hoping they can pull out of this greed induced slump and really spend a lot more on development of their IP.

    I really do like Nintendo IP. I wish they would go to other platforms now though. If someone were to break up Nintendo (hint, hint) we would all experience a lot more of what we love.


  • I am sure you can find a marginalized person in Mexico to disagree with you on many of these points like, for instance, an indigenous person.

    Like I said before, you can’t see it. You live in denial and you fall for all the propaganda you are receiving. Every narrative, especially the ones you like are propaganda.

    Fascism is the result of unfettered capitalism where money and power pervert and corrupt every human being. It is the corporate evolution of authoritarianism.

    Why do you think that the AntiFa existed in modern times as an answer to corporate trade law taking control of nations. Nothing has changed and it is way worse.

    So yes Mexico is most definitely on the fascism scale. You even have a polarizing populist. Just like when the US elected Obama it didn’t suddenly make the US not a fascist state.

    As I was saying, you are a liability when you can’t see through the propaganda. Fascism is reality all over the world and we have to address it.

    I will happily give you a downvote only because you asked for it and you are basically justifying charging high prices for games that have not been truly added to or remastered other than higher resolution.

    Also the game is US $59.99 at stores locally which to me is also overpriced for what you are getting. All Switch games are overpriced, but that still doesn’t justify it.

    I think a good digital price point would be $10 or less for each of the games. Obviously a physical copy would need to add $5-10 for distribution.

    I could see $29.99.
