I read a ton of Conservapedia for fun and it might've rubbed off on me.

It doesn't look this way, but I really do feel its awful to just pretend any one generation is full of people who're no good. Millennials get a bad rap from Baby Boomers and that's terrible. Just as it'd be bad for Millennials to trash those from generation Z. It is no one's fault when they were born. There are Millennials who're successful just as there are ones who've failed like I have.

The political interests and priorities of different age groups can diverge, but broadly speaking- younger and older people and anyone else in between should be able to get along.

But I do happen to object to the direction demographics in the US are taking and the current immigration trends there are. I'm not a big fan of there being few to no young people of my racial background around anymore. My sense is that White America is declining towards permanent displacement if not extinction.

What the actual fuck, how did I just agree with something you posted?

1. What the hell do you mean? There’s tons of white kids around.
2. Who the hell cares? If you really object that much to there being less white people, go join the KKK. They’ll be happy to take you. But answer this: WHY DOES IT MATTER? It’s not that important. Yes, you’re not getting your ethnostate any time soon. But what’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with non-whites? I’m not white. Should I go kill myself to make things easier for you?

It's been proven that video games actually serve as an outlet, so the opposite could be considered true

Is there a game where you can do that? Maybe that's why it's so common on NSG.

No, and politicians are well aware. It's a smokescreen meant to put the focus on a popular scapegoat so that no politicians have to risk their re-election by taking decisive action to solve the mass-shooting epidemic that might hurt the wallets of people who pay good money to ensure favorable lawmaking.

All I ask is for the majority non-White countries to stop reproducing abundantly so much, and for these peoples to stop mass immigrating to the majority White countries such that the net effect of their presence is for the majority White countries to not be majority White anymore. This diversity stuff being driven by globalization is pushing the White racial group towards extinction in my view.

If not extinction, then in part- permanent dillusion of White heredity or racial mixing with non-Whites.

I don't want any of that to be happening. The White skin color and European traits must remain White or European visually speaking. If Whites don't exist anymore in the far future, or were permanently changed by mass immigration from non-White countries- then all is lost.

How about it increases your hand/ eye coordination, it enhances your ability to react quickly, to filter important information better.
And some games even help to learn how choices can make a difference.

They also make following instructions and switching between interfaces/peripherals easier (For cross platform people).

No, as he doesn't think evolution works the way biologists, zoologists, and anthropologists say it does.
