The profound alienation ultimately made me stronger (lol lol jk)

I've been going through details of recent #mapoli polling, and seeing what registered Rs believe. Severe alienation. Utter nationally-driven opinions. Complete loyalty to Trump. For example: Half think MA economy is bad? Only 14% good? Not one thinks it's excellent? MassGOP is dead.

The next development of capital (which I will remind people was specifically done to circumvent first sale rights) is the alienation of property. Where people have the full responsibility of ownership with the bare minimum of rights enshrined by the same.

Again.. If purchasing doesn't give you ownership... then piracy isn't theft.

Steam makes a valuable change to how it sells games, and the whole world will benefit

Getting ahead of the State of California making it happen anyway, you're now told exactly what it is you're buying.

I go on about it, but the party's absolute alienation from the professional and corporate classes is a real self-perpetuating disaster.
