Donald Trump's White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.
I know that this is potentially a spicy thing to post to this community, but I do think it is relevant to games and gaming. They are advertising it with using likenesses of major gaming brands.

You forgot to mention that it was made, built, shipped, sponsored by, and approved by pedophiles
Lots and lots of pedophiles

OK why are there so many pedophiles? There's way more than I thought.

Because we didn’t drag them out into the street for justice as we found them - for whatever reason these morons started electing them

This is something straight out of a parody movie, and even then, it would sound absurd.
What the heck is even going on in the US right now.

America is a fucking joke.
Those dumb cunts elected a clown whose destroyed the global world order as we know it, for the worse.
I hope they're proud that their leader not only rapes children and steals billions for himself, his family, and his friends, but have forsaken any ideals of saving this planet from the oncoming climate apocalypse that's bearing down on us.
As a white european, D**** to America.

Posting from aussie.zone? Ok, world traveler maybe, more power to ya, though a little concerning that being white seems to be noteworthy to you.
Gotta remind you that the US is a very large country, much bigger (in terms of population and infrastructure) than than even Australia. I agree the American experiment has failed, as this fascist takeover has played out slowly over something like 40 years with the goddamn neoliberals helping to pave the way. It's been supported by a vocal minority; the majority (including where I live in a 'swing state') are against it, but apparently even that's not enough to do anything of consequence. So yeah we're fucked. Push your countrymen as far from this toxicity as possible. That includes putting heavy restraints on capitalism. Please.
Also you don't have to censor the word death FYI

Yeah, I chose an instance on another continent to help with online anonymity.
For the number of times my comments get deleted by sook mods for stating that the world needed a violent revolution decades ago, it seems necessary on this platform now. It's not much better than Reddit.
P.s., the point of being white european being noteworthy is so that American users stumbling past my comment realise its other whites that want America do be destroyed, it's not just Iranian farmers.

Alles gut.
First point, well I hope it helps. I spend a lot of time thinking about OpSec and even I feel pretty screwed.
Second point... well that just sucks. For me the whole point of being here is to do better than reddit. I still think it's a lot more niche but sometimes that just means the sticks up the asses are different.
For your Postscript, I understand but to be blunt I don't think the audience who needs that is here at all. But maybe I'm just cynical and think the people who want skin color to matter are a total lost cause. 🤷
Insekticus@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 7h
In this coming dystopia of online surveillance and rogue AIs hacking into systems at speeds being deemed a national security threat globally, any bit of obscurity helps.
You're right, skin color shouldn't matter, and the people who do think that are no better than tribalist savages. But if I can convince even one user reading past my comments to realise that this global polycrisis goes beyond race and religion and is a matter of class war with human extinction on the line, then I consider myself to have tried to help in my own small individual way.

Do they have that one cool game where you play as a 15-year-old child trying to escape Epstein Island, or the other one where you mindlessly black out hundreds of thousands of lines of text while ironically mumbling “fidelity, bravery, integrity” to yourself over and over?

How is this even legal? They blatantly use styling and brand recognition to imitate popular brands for selling their products.
some_designer_dude@lemmy.world · 36 pts · 12h
“How is this even legal?” betrays a certain out-of-the-loopness. Trump’s is a post-law administration.

'Disgusting': Trump's taxpayer-funded 'deport' arcade sparks instant fury online
sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 4h
I'm so torn on headlines like this: on one hand, people should be angry and disgusted, vocally so. But on the other... like this is exactly the reaction they want.
The whole Trump social media team and administration are such chronically online 4chan losers that trolling is all they do, and people tend to fill up online chatter about these attention whore stunts instead of the ongoing ICE raids, the foreign interests buying up American assets, and the AI companies paying people to spread manufactured consent amongst local communities regarding approvals of data centers and surveillance tech.
The Harris campaign might have stopped calling them losers, but I never will.

So they decided that the best way to capture the attention of today's youth is with clones of games made 30 or 40 years ago. Sure, you know what, good job White House, have a cookie. Everybody clap for how well they understand the children and teenagers of 2026.
