I've seen [[Enduring Ideal]] played in Battle of Wits decks!

...So, yes, they are not good.

I wish America had a memorandum of understanding with Trump and his administration. He's not even consistently following his own fucked up "Agenda 47" plans he posted to youtube (thank god, since one of them is enslaving immigrants to build 12 tax-haven megapolises on national parks...).

A person with the patience and knowledge of a scholar is in a better position to negotiate an international treaty between foreign powers with different cultural values than a sleazy real estate agent who couldn't qualify for a High School debate team.

The "rugged individualist" movement is just eugenics in a trench coat. They believe in social Darwinism to a problematic extent. It's why they want to imprison people with "mental conditions". And that sick line of thinking includes their belief about disease control. Namely, they believe we'd all be better off and have "better genes" if everyone got every disease and only the survivors were left to carry on their "superior genes".

Which is of course total horseshit because evolution doesn't work that way. Being resistant to a virus doesn't mean your as resistant to another virus everyone else might be resistant too. It doesn't mean your more or less prone to any number of random things because natural selection doesn't mean "the superior being survives", it means "the being that survives is the being that reproduces", which doesn't even mean that branch is more likely to "thrive" since conditions external of the one family's existence are also changing!

Yet they have this idea that in a billion years humanity will "evolve" (as in "improve") to become perfected beings because they want to believe in divine bloodline mythology to justify why they have so much privilege despite doing less work in a year than a minimum wage farm laborer does in an hour.

...But I'm probably preaching to the choir.

I have limited experience, but I've heard modern Yu-Gi-Oh! is also way less cringe at the competitive level. I've had to judge for Yu-Gi-Oh! back in the GX and 5Ds eras and you basically didn't get a chance to even sit down. It was a constant queue of players trying to shark each other because there was no way to prove intent and the rules were vague enough that cheating via misplays were reasonable.

I've also hard there are way fewer thieves now than back then, which is good to know. Every Yu-Gi-Boomer I know, myself included, has had cards stolen before...
