Top Comments of this video!! :3
What I'd like to say about my opinion on euphemism after watching the video is that I think there can be value in euphemism in names, but I don't there there should be any in description. What I mean is that when describing our ideas we should always be upfront and honest, for example when talking about homelessness simply state that you want to take empty house and give them to the homeless, but whether you call that socialism or communism depends on who you're talking to.
What you said about "Will people would really use the tools on their own if we we're euphemistic?" really resonated and I really agree that when talking about those tools we must be honest and upfront, but I do think there is some leeway in how we call those tools.
A really interesting video. Thank you very much for making this.

Okay, the last ten minutes of this are maybe the most effective criticism of Generation X disillusionment I have ever encountered. I say that as an actual member of the Gen X cohort. We had/have our idealists and collapsed under the “obvious” impossibility of these ideals over time. This really helps me put in context the frustration younger people have tried to communicate to me. Thank you SO MUCH for framing this so clearly through the medium of... media.

I have the board game Class Struggle, gathering dust along with my other board games on account of nobody I know wants to play board games. So my memory might be faulty, but I think I remember those Tarot cards from that game. Which is cool, since nobody plays that game and people need to read those cards. I understand that the game is now a "collector's item" - meaning that its exchange value is much higher than its use value. Ironic.

I know game devs who use subtext. They're all cowards.
