Well, racism is still very much part of the equation alongside all the other bigotry. It is a buffet of bigotry, allowing bigots to pick their favourite one as a reason to vote for them.

Because they voted for hatred, they just didn't vote for that hatred to target themselves. This is not people realising they were wrong, this is just a "he isn't hurting the right people" moment by an asshole.

Usually nowhere near being bankruptcy risk sized though.

Fascists International.

It watches everything everyone else does as well.

That is a sacrifice their rulers are willing to make.

Of course we can't really know what goes on behind the scenes. But obviously these kinds of games are designed by committee (namely board members). So every single detail is going to be dictated from above, and as new games are released by other publishers with new succesful features these dictates changes mid-production. I can't but imagine that the development of live service games are a complete shitshow from start to finish.

So perhaps at some point they decide to get rid of the entire mess and start afresh, only for the process to beging again of course.

They know they can do that sort of shit because they hold the power. They can blatantly and unconvincingly lie, their followers will regurgitate those lies, but neither of them really believe them. They are just posturing and having fun with words, just like fascists always have done.

Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Yes, you are indeed a real spectacle.

No, that is not how words or logic or anything really works. But it is unsurprising that a fascist like you wouldn't know that, considering you don't really care about words.

It is funny how the video clearly disproves your lying claim.
