Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so the shock rifle does hold a special place in my heart.

I'm with you, I'm having a blast, but I think the reactions are because of the idea that it would be a Skyrim type game and... It's not really even trying to be that. Like you said, it's an ARPG, the roleplaying is basically just dialogue and most of the game is really well done exploration and combat.
Ground level infrastructure meaning the ability to get people out to do anything from marching to rioting to picketing to canvassing to voting. The Civil Rights movement wouldn't have gotten anywhere if it hadn't actually mobilized people and thus made people aware of / afraid of organized resistance. The Black Panthers deserve a lot of credit as well for being the armed hard core of the movement.
We'd get a lot more of what we want peacefully if oligarchs were afraid we'd rally and fuck up their businesses bottom lines AND that they might get assassinated by radicals.
Sure, whatever. I just think the way shit is credited actually matters, e.g. "Run the Jewels" isn't a Killer Mike album even though he's on every track, just like "Kid A" isn't a Thom Yorke album. Shobaleader One's work is separate from Squarepusher even though it's literally the same person.
Artists make subtle choices when crediting their work, but yeah it's ultimately subjective so do you.
I know you think it's pedantic, it's just that the artist determines what is his personal work and what isn't. If you look up Aesop Rock's discography, Malibu Ken isn't on it, but Garbology is.
It's different because MK is a duo, where Garbology is an Aesop album that basically feats. Blockhead on every track.
What are you going to criticize Republicans for? Sure, they're morally bankrupt and destroying the country, but they're doing exactly what their dipshit voters asked for and succeeding beyond their wildest dreams.
Democrats are the ones who are being laughably inept at what they claim to want.
