Why would they pokemon be on the side of the government during riots? Are pokemon stupid?
I mean, why would pokemon be on the side of team rocket or whatever other villainous (often apocalyptic) group the games have? They just follow whoever catches them no matter what.
Exactly. In game, Pokemon follow people of a certain strength.
There’s a documentary that may help explain this, iirc it’s called Paw Patrol
Have you never heard of police dogs?
Why wouldn't they? Team Rocket/MagmAqua/Galactic/Plasma/Flare all have pokemon fighting with them. They listen to the trainer, not the moral obligation of the society.
Yeah but they get less healthcare then, because now it costs money.
Federal thugs get free Healthcare because they act as the enforcement arm of the capitalist state.
Sign me up!
And that's why cops and pokemon betray the working class
Well they got me at "thugs".
There are many people who have jobs they hate because they get good benefits, like healthcare & dental.
The Pokemon are just the abused working class.
Why are suffering lower/middle class people opposed to protests for better social security and medical systems? Are they stupid?
But fr tho sometimes people are just blind. If you have been a slave (pokemon) for life then its hard to break your chains.
Yo, the last major outbreak of violence against the government was when the far right lost an election. This is pretty damn on the ball.
A price on healing means my trainer won't be so inclined to make me fight!
Pokemon in all versions of Pokemon are literal slaves. They have no free will if they are in a Poke Bowl. And depending on the movie - that free will can be overwritten again by a Psychic Type Pokemon.
Tell me what the "pokemon" should do.
Join in the revolution against the capitalist government.
