I'd say staying on topic is the best bet (even though anonymous mediums where you can make ideological rants while falling under site rule protections is your safe space).

Isn't that what its always been about?

And this isn't something that would have much affect on anyone's well-being.
Yeah... the difference is that those "right leaning" people you're talking about are being block from private services by those services, not the government. Frankly, Twitter has every right to deny service to anyone they please. They're not here to be a platform for views they disagree with.
My god, dude, why are you even here? And I would challenge your assertion that games are worthless by the fact that you are, in fact, here. Games brought you to a community with shared interests. There's a social benefit in that. Games can be inspirational, therapeutic, or even something as simple as helping you unwind at the end of the day. Just because your time playing a game is "unproductive" is meaningless. People are not meant to be productive 100% of the time.
How about this - every single writer you see posting on this site and countless others has turned their passion *into* something productive. Others have taken their games as a launching point to create their own art or deepen their relationships. So rather than throw stones at games - a group who you certainly "know not what they want/need/desire" - why don't you TURN your interest into something productive?
Only thing i want to say is, you cant go complain about choices your own goverment makes when the majority of your country have made the choice to elect that person/party during election time, so in my opinion its kinda their own fault in a weird way.
I don't know if you will watch this or if you can outside of the UK but i will post it anyway.
A name people might want to google or search on Youtube is Alexei Navalny.
I don't think that's fair.

I think my post was clear I 100% agree with you if you wish to discuss this issue it is a far large issue than gaming. Like I said right now we have social media megacorps like facebook and twitter controlling the flow of information of hundreds of millions of people censoring those who present information contrary to those companies political agendas. You remain dead silent on that even larger issue while trying to demonize another country and culture you know little about who by trying to control an app that is abused by terror organizations incidentally limited access to gaming for some people.
You have deep sorrow for those losing out on a few weeks of gaming but again I ask what about the people who are victimized by the evil doers using that app? It was clear the government was not trying to implement mass controls over people to prevent tham from gaming it was a unexpected side effect of trying to prevent terrorist activities and this is bad how?

lol wut? Hillary was an awful candidate, Bill clinton was a sexual predator (100% documented and verfied), while some metrics of his presidency were favorable in a very short term outlook its clear most of them were VERY detrimental long term, he actually was not a very good president. The reason all of america's jobs were moved overseas was because of bill clinton, the reason almost all news media outlets are controlled by 5-6 mega corps now who use their platforms as propaganda machines was because of new law change introduced by bill clinton.
You are entittled to your opinion but to suggest Trump beat Hillary due to ignorance of voters is simply wrong, in fact you could make a far stronger argument the fact he didnt win by an utter epic landslide shows the ignorance if anything. We have immense information now which is verified showing how utterly corrupt hillary and the democratic party have been conducting themselves for the last few years. You can blame the mega media complex that came to exist because of bill clinton for the perception of how trump is some awful person as they spew endless unbased lies to slander him just for example "he hates jews" because of the Clash in SC because he equally condemns both parties for all of their poor behavior "anti semite" yet Trump has unilaterally provided Israel ten times more support than Obama ever did yet not once did the media suggest Obama was an anti semite while he is buddies with louis farakhan (they even suppressed a photo of Obama and Farakhan arm in arm to ensure Obama was elected). Wanna talk about voter ignorance ?? lol.
