If you wanna know the state of Yugioh TCG collecting in the wake of Overframes in the core game…

baddyzarc

The situation is so funny man

Basically, Mr grifter announced that he might be getting into the collecting side of yugioh, which would lead to the scalping hell that now plagues the Pokémon and One Piece TCGs

As a joke, MBTYugioh gave them pointers on what to “invest in”, recommending some of the WORST shit products that this game released in the years

He then followed up with a tongue-in-cheek, clearly trolling video recommending shit like Legendary Duelists sets, Duelist of Deep and Synchro Storm, and the Platinum cards, and exclusive COINS before ending the video with “Don’t invest in yugioh. You will lose money due to this game’s reprint policies”

Like, it was very obvious for anyone with half-a-brain cell and is familiar with Yugioh that the video is a joke

BUT a bunch of scalping bots took the video at face value and bought out these doodoo, worthless products immediately after his fuckass video came out

Now they’re sitting on unsellable trash. 100% deserved, I hope everyone whose trying to grift this game like Pokémon loses their money

Yu-Gi-Oh fans really saw the scalpers coming and said "You've activated my trap card".

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

i will never get over this one i’m afraid

“Why do Americans not simply overthrow their government?”

Well have you ever tried to overthrow the American government? Why aren’t you doing it if it’s so easy, wise guy?

Also given the state of the country right now the people who do take over after the smoke clears are uncomfortably likely to be fascists anyways.

what-even-is-thiss

The people in this country right now that are willing and crazy enough to attempt an overthrow of the US government already tried and failed, if you’ve somehow blocked January 6, 2021 from your memory. Somebody died during their attempt, actually.

Who the fuck says simply? Nobody is surprised that it's hard but from Europe it looks like Americans are doing next to nothing to end their fascist government.

No organising. No waves of new party members. No violence against ICE. There hasn't even been any repression and you still won't even fight back. I can understand the reason people don't want to put themselves in these situations. I don't understand why someone would make a post defending inaction. To me you sound like a German in 1933: "Yes the NSDAP is bad but let's not do anything against them because it might be dangerous to us".

Did you really think that would sound like a good argument?

what-even-is-thiss

People are organizing to protect their neighbors from ICE all the time and protesting both small and large things constantly. A lot of people and local governments are suing the current administration and almost 90% end up winning their lawsuits. Investigative journalists continue to do their work despite threats from the feds. We are doing stuff constantly. You just haven’t heard about it because it’s hard daily work that doesn’t make for fun and flashy international headlines.

aro-pancake

But we don't hear about it.

I think that's the whole point of what @spackotutto was saying.

I'm in Brazil, and I only learn about the bigger actions because I have friends from the US, but I also hear a lot about how they're scared of the whole situation (revolution rarely comes without bloodshed), and I still didn't know about half the stuff you mentioned up here.

It's a matter of what gets to us outside the US rather than "simply"

what-even-is-thiss

Within the US if you pay attention you notice a constant stream of lawsuits and protests and investigations. Right now we’re preparing for the congressional midterm elections and some gubernatorial elections which could be huge. If we can manage to flip both the senate and House of Representatives to being majority Democrat they can block a lot of the more harmful things this administration is attempting.

These aren’t the sorts of stories that make it to international news but they’re happening constantly. New progressive candidates, voting districts being rewritten, lawsuits blocking harmful actions, investigations exposing the corruption, people delivering groceries for their immigrant neighbors.

These are all things that are happening constantly but they’re also kind of local news.

So know that we’re getting shit done.

We’re not fighting the US military though.

The two upper pictures are from Minneapolis, MN. Bottom left is San Francisco, CA; bottom right is New York, NY. These are anti-ICE protests. Here's an article from The Irish Times reporting on some of what's going on, with specific focus on Minnesota. Also on the topic of organizing, the people of Chicago have organized aganist ICE through neighborhood watches and whistle signals. Here's an article from Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, a German political education institution, focusing on Chicago's efforts. Other cities have been following their example.

As for "no waves of new party members," Mississippi flipped a few seats recently. Florida. Texas. They aren't the only ones but it's midnight here and I'm crawling into bed. If you're actually interested in doing literally any digging at all, you'll find more information along these lines in other states. We're working on it.

As for "no violence against ICE," their agents are scared to show their faces. There's a reason they wear masks. Going after them while they're in uniform and armed is basically suicide, but the ones whose names have been leaked are looking over their shoulders whenever they step outside. From CBS News, "The Department of Homeland Security announced last fall that its officers have experienced a 1,000% increase in assaults, and a sniper attack on the Dallas ICE field office in September was believed to be motivated by anti-ICE views."

"You guys still aren't fighting back" several of us have been killed fighting back.

Even if none of this were true, making a post about why we haven't gone for the big one (tried to overthrow our federal government) isn't 'making a post defending inaction.' Those are two different things. I'm really not sure where you got the idea that the only action worth anything at all is if we all throw ourselves against the meat grinder of the US military-- that's the implication of your statement, so I can only assume that's your belief-- but I heartily fucking disagree.
