“Power-ups” can instantly add to the life, armor, strength or score of a videogame player — but how does this apply to the games politicians have created?
Uttering a “shopping list” of cant phrases; politicians have blown apart the barriers that protected us from oppression, and designed a game where all differences can be treated differently.
These societal “power-ups” can add markedly to the wealth and perceived worth of those people who are designated; by their race, their gender, or by any categorization or profiling that politicians decide.
They make the rules.
Power-ups can be given — but they can also be taken away.
Maybe the rules will be changed to produce a game you have no chance of winning.
They’ll decide.
