Another point to add:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/79224443

This organization conducted a poll among 1400 registered voters and found a plurality of them to be in support of storming the capital. Perhaps the sampling is biased, but this is the only evidence I've seen on the matter. This suggests that support for what happens yesterday is hardly a small minority in the Republican wing.

I think that just proves my point?
That's 55% of Republicans that were not in support of storming. It also mirrors the votes in Congress during the election hearing, where about half of Republicans supported opposing the election win

I didn't say this or really anything else in your post. When I see "Trump supporter", I interpret that as somebody who supports Trump being in power and would vote to do so. You seem to be using the term to only refer to extremists, so this is just a semantics thing.

not everyone shares that perception. From what I'm seeing here, anyone who votes Trump is completely hateable and deserves to be <insert negative action>

They're a group. They just don't have centralized leadership. Some chapters even have websites, but they are also definitely a boogeyman for the right, since most antifa members are more likely to be young college kids LARPing about being revolutionaries than actual adults willing and able to cause real violence. The moment you form networks, coalitions, organized events, and rally under a flag I think it's a little silly to claim that you're not a group.

For example:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_City_Antifa
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torch_Network

https://www.adl.org/antifa

to be fair, Republicans calling out Democrats' anifa and communists is no different from Democrats calling out Republicans as 'white supermacists ' and facists. The latter hate being called that too. It's the same as using the boogeyman term.

You can clearly see the reality is far from that. If you look at the Trump rallies, there are a very significant number of black Trump supporters in the mixes too. I think this political divide is just messed up. It's like both sides can't actually see who each other really are.

I was under the impression that polls showed most Republicans support Trump. Am I mistaken?

them supporting Trump doesn't mean they are fully support him, or to say, approve of his actions and persona completely.

Many may vote Trump simply because they're only presented with two options. Obviously, pick the lesser of two evils in their perception. If they're Christian, anti-China, anti-globalist etc. all these are reasons to stand by supporting Trump. The other s*** Trump does? Well, not their concern.

Same how Democrats are tolerating Biden even if they don't fully like him, no??

You can't just group everyone who voted for Trump together and call them 'evil' and whatnot. Every voter has their own personal reason for supporting their candidate, sometimes with total disregard for the other major flaws of said candidate. Of course, you also have the Trump blind sheep supporters. Those are like a cult. I'd say a good example are the ones that breached Capitol yesterday

Anifa is NOT a group. It's just a BS term used to refer to a very generalised population you hate. It's like saying incels is an organisation or what, weeaboos is an orgainsation.

They're not. The far-left political movement is simply called anifa but there's no one group. It's just a disenfranchise of factions, cells and any group against fascism.

There's some you should condemn though, like those far off in the political spectrum into promoting communism and Marxist ideologies. These are the ones republicans are taught to fear but obviously doesn't encapsulate most liberal-leaning democrats. Same way how Trump supporters shouldn't encapsulate most conservative-leaning republicans.

and BTW I think this board is way too liberal-biased that they mistakenly think Anifa doesnt exist at all.

No, they definitely do. The media just doesn't report them because y'know, they're liberal-biased too. But there are strong and legitimate criticisms of Anifa, like how they resort to violence and intimidation to get their message across.

There is not ONE single shred of evidence or even indication of evidence whatsoever throughout history till now, nor communication signals we've ever had with any form of extraterrestial.

I find this argument weird in that it is basically trying to elevate anecdotal evidence into scientific fact.

You don't meet 1 person of an ethnicity and assume everyone of that ethinicity is like that one person.
But apparently 1 planet with life means we can assume there are a bunch more out there just like it.
Or said in a better way, if we find water, we find life. That is a bias.

finally someone got it right. We have zero trace or any evidence whatsoever of actual alien existence now or throughout history.

All we have is the flimsy basis we somehow are made to believe in that:

1. Abiogenesis is true and life forms out of inorganic matter given the right circumstances.

2. There is no divine intervention or from that of any pre-existing intellectual being whatsoever.

3. 'Alien' life forms based on the same assumptions we have set out on how life on Earth forms. Aliens could exist out of some other ways that breaks the laws of physics as we know it but that would mean scientists disregarding their very own studies

Lastly there is the strongest evidence actually, of aliens not existing. See Fermi Paradox. Literally almost all alien theories out there have been by scientists just trying to explain the Fermi Paradox to begin with. And so far there is no one theory that is universally accepted on.

It's funny how scientists consider completely wild speculations based on the existence of aliens as true as "theories" and sometimes even the existence of aliens as facts, but anything in the speculations based on existence of a deity like intelligent design considered pseudoscience or merely 'arguments'.

Theories like panspermia, wild zoo (aliens spying on us) and multiverses are utter BS in the same realms as scientists would love to call religion 'fiction' yet they dont.

7/10 isn't a negative score. It literally says "good". Anyway I only skimmed the review but it seemed ok to me. Thinking the games has too many superficial elements or choices that add nothing to the game are reasonable complaints. You can disagree with those complaints, but they are still valid complaints.

Given how important actors are to a movie that seems like a reasonable complaint.

I mean the critic not liking the actor herself and not her performance in the movie.

Actually I would find that review very inciteful because it would establish some much needed context to who the reviewer is and where their biases lie. Just like how when I see dunkey hates a JRPG it doesn't mean the game sucks, because I know dunkey hates those things.

I think the problem here isn't that gamespot gave Cyberpunk a 7/10 (which btw, is still a good score). It's that for some reason Gamers (with a capital G) expect these big review houses to pat every game they like on the head and any deviation from a 9 causes this kind of reaction.

For one thing, why do we paint the entire company because of what one guy who worked there said? Do you have everything in common with your colleagues? All like the same music the same amount?

If you wanted it to be an official company position and not the personal opinion of the person who reviewed it, warts and all, does it have any credibility at all?

because they chose the person to review the game. And this is crucially important. If you choose someone who hates driving games to review a driving game, wtf do you expect? We see this sometimes in the movie critic industry too, like how critics always pan spoofs because they simply hate spoof movies in general.
Another example, I hate Pokemon. So if Gamespot ask me to review the Pokemon games and I'll give everything a 1/0 and defend myself by saying "it's my personal opinion, go suck it losers", you call that fair? Well, maybe some CE users too high up sucking gamespot's arse may think so, who knows

Actually I would find that review very inciteful because it would establish some much needed context to who the reviewer is and where their biases lie. Just like how when I see dunkey hates a JRPG it doesn't mean the game sucks, because I know dunkey hates those things.

first of all, please establish what the intention of a major game reviewer that thousands of people rely on is for?
Is it to inform audiences about the quality of the game in the most fair, unbiased way, or is it just your personal blog for venting narrow-viewed frustrations of your own? you tell me.

like I said before. Nobody expects that. Gamespot gave Miles Morales a 7/10 for example, while all other reviewers gave around 9/10 and honestly I agree with Gamespot's review there (eg. the complaint on how the sequel plays too similiarly to the first game). It all depends on the reasonable points raised in the review.

you don't need to play the game to read a review and judge it as reasonable or not.
It's like reading a movie review and the critic complains the movie sucks because he doesn't like Jennifer Lawrence as an actress.
