This divide is characterized by the demonization and privatization of public services, including schools, the military, prisons, and even policing; by the growing use of prison as our primary resolution for social contradictions; by the degradation and even debasement of the public sphere and all those who would seek to democratically occupy it; by an almost complete abandonment of the welfare state; by a nearly religious reverence for marketized solutions to public problems;

ok im in a community for a game, & someone joins and is like "please ignore the name & appearance i made this account before i came out" and the first two people to respond, one of them is like "the devs have changed characters' genders before, here's how to get in touch with them" and the other is like "if that doesn't fix all the problems i can give you a chunk of [premium currency] to use for e.g. name change & such"

Holy crap, now I'm even more glad I didn't get on board the WoW Classic hype train.
Blizzard, in response to a Hearthstone grandmaster from Hong Kong using a slogan from the pro-democracy movement, pulls all his tournament winnings, bans him from competing for a year, *and* fires both casters who were hosting the event, who likely didn't even know he was going to say it.
