  • Why?

    That’s complicated.

    People see a lot of immigrants coming into their area, and taking jobs. It’s not hard to see how people would draw a connection between the above statement and connect it to “that’s why I couldn’t get a job”. There’s a natural push back there.

    Some companies see the influx of immigrants and realize they can get cheaper labor, and those that don’t get the job (the ones who already lived in that area) get disgruntled. It’s easy to talk some of them into joining a side that pushes back on immigration.

    One of the things the far right looks at is immigration.

    The left typically asks for bigger government and more social welfare programs (more taxes).

    The right is typically smaller government and less social welfare programs (less taxes).

    At a time when we are drowning in debt and can’t afford to buy food, have less taxes and more money in our pocket is an enticing idea. Easy to pull people to the right.

    The worse the above problems get, the further to the right people go.

    The further to the right they go, the less they hear from the left. Now they only see and hear one side. It becomes a vicious cycle at that point.










  • Try Guild Wars 2.

    You can play basically the entire game solo if you want. It would take you years to play all the solo material. They have mass battles to take down huge bosses. You can literally join without talking to anyone. As long as you cause at least 1 hit point of damage you get the chest at the end of the battle.

    You don’t have to do those mass battles (meta events) if you don’t want to.

    My guild has a discord server but no one is required to use it. You can use the in game text chat if you want. If you want you literally don’t even have to talk to anyone.

    There are multi players areas, but I just spoke to someone who played for 9 years only doing player vs enemy. He just started player vs player.

    If at some point you want to use discord someone will help you, but again no requirement.

    Just to get the mount called skyscale (if you wanted to go nuts could be done in a week) I’ve been working on it for a couple months now. Like I said there is a TON to do in that game.

    Game is pc only it’s about eleven years old.
