      America just lost a huge amount of federal workers, Elon has broken into the treasury, and Trump ended our foreign relations for no good reason.

      America is splitting apart, and corporations will have to pick a side. Considering that Microsoft controls the most common OS in the world, it would be very strange if DOGE didn’t try to take control.

          Think of it this way: Microsoft can use Copilot down the road to monitor what games and media you have. Considering that the Trump Regime has literally forced the disbanding of military cultural clubs, removal of posters featuring minorities or women, established a DEI watchlist, and so on…as someone who plays a great deal of Japanese games, I wouldn’t feel safe. Plus my PC has all of my passwords, documents, and so forth.

          Ask yourself this: “Am I safe from persecution?”

          Just because you have no interest in politics, it doesn’t mean that politics aren’t interested in you.

      From what’s been seen checks and balances no longer exists in the US and is moving towards authoritarianism, and threatening allies is not normal. And enemy in the west is more of a concern for a lot of people due to proximity.

      Any country undergoing a huge purge and closures would be raising alarms, and it is more worrying because of the huge military and economic influence and power of the US.
