White House Launches Arcade.Gov, a Minigame Site Where You Catch Immigrants, Build a Tetris Border Wall, and 'Fill Your Kids' Trump Accounts' With Bitcoin

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.

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

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. 🤷

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.

He's not saying skin color matters. It's just that most people would associate that phrase with Muslims, or middle east. It's not racism, it's just how it is. He was just riffing on that.

Of course you vote for the viable non fascist candidate. What else to do, if you do not intend to be a fascist enabler?

I always vote for the most left-leaning viable candidate. There isn't much else we can do.

What? I think you misunderstood. I meant I voted for Harris and I don't like being lumped in with Trump supporters because of my nationality. What did you think I meant?

Edit: I was upset because it sounded to me like you called all Americans dumb cunts.

You could slap that same comment on nearly any article about Trump since his entry into politics. We live in a fucking circus.

Looks like you won't miss out on anything. These look like cheap Ai slop generated slop slop.

I read a Kotaku article about them. They are basically clones of classic Atari style games with a racist angle.

Like Snake, but you are an ICE agent collecting "illegals" to deport in a snake line.

Or a Flappy Bird clone.

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.

lemmy.world

“How is this even legal?” betrays a certain out-of-the-loopness. Trump’s is a post-law administration.

I saw their statement basically disowning the affair, but didn't see they are actually suing. Do you have a source?

20

Even ignoring that whole parody is protected speech thing, it's only illegal if there's someone doing something about it

8

Simple: Any company who sues gets sanctioned. It‘s a fascist oligarch government run by the Epstein class.

You see the trick is to fill the entire justice system with stooges who won't prosecute you for anything. Then everything is legal.

Jews Out! Board Game

Force the Jews beyond the medieval walls and out the city. The first player to rid the city of six Jews wins.

With illustrations of a ‘typical’ Jewish family on the move accompanied by the text, Off to Palestine!

Interestingly, that game was never sanctioned by the Nazis and leading figures actually disliked it for trivialising their serious goal of ... genocide. It was a money grab product by a company that wanted to cash in on the jew hate. At least that is what is written about the game.

lemmy.world

Yes. The trump administration with their antiimmigrant propaganda game are literally worse than Himmler.

Jiralreply
lemmy.world

Clearly not in their mass murdering so far but while the Nazis were masters of propaganda that were bathing in blood, some of them at least resented the commercial exploitation of something they considered a crucial and very serious pillar of their ideology. Not sure what to make of that but it is what it is.

Gamergate was the worst thing to happen to this world

27

no. the worst thing to happen to this world is that we didn't execute every single nazi and israeli filth the first time around. the second worst thing is that we didn't make a law that made it illegal to be a nazi. the third worst thing to happen is that we didn't execute filthy nazis on sight when they popped up in America.

Very Christian of them, indeed. Exactly the opposite of what the bible dictates.

Tinfoil hat time-

They want the lawsuits. They've stacked the courts already, they'll win and as a hedge the worst they'll get is told to stop it.

They want the legal precedent from those smaller lawsuits, so Elon and Altman can just start wholesale ripping off games with Grok and GPT-6.

18

That would really be 4d chess. I’m not sure they are that smart.

I’m going to propose an alternative theory. I think the real reason is because they are childish, immature trolls and revel in causing other people’s misery. Although these two theories are not mutually exclusive.

10

Have you seen my AI generated parody of the live action Moana? We just added some Nazi tattoos to the Rock and called it good, it's a statement on the duality of man, not copyright infringement or hate speech, trust me.

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.

I think they just seek to create controversy. They don't care for young people or people at all.

I would not dismiss their influence so cavalierly. The shift right among male youth is very concerning and real.

They are also working on teenage girls with the “TERF” thing. Pink fascism and SAHM trade wife propaganda is huge on Pinterest.

Yes, this season of Earth is satire. The writers have pivoted away from the Drama genre and gone for something more fun. The Medical Thriller seasons were really unpopular with most demographics.

Many are disappointed by this tired sequel to the Gulf War movies as well, it doesn't even have a cool name.

Doing a game about a border wall using tetris, where every time you do a good row it disappears, is very MAGA coded, NGL...

Also, don't let this distract you that Trump has raped little kids.

I’m confused as to how “MAGA”, a party political slogan, is allowed on a .gov domain. Seems like it should be illegal?

You’re confused how our government is doing illegal things? Have you not been paying attention?

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.

I...um...this timeline has gotten worse in the worst possible way.

I'm at a loss for words.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if AI DDOS'd this site? Since it's "going rogue" and all that.

In México we have a term to refer to this kind of people. NyE. That's what MAGA is. Naco y Estúpido.

Somebody should do a remake of Hudson Island. It'll be exactly the same but it'll be called Epstein Island and at the end of each stage you rescue a child from a cage.

The one thing I enjoy in all this is watching a corporation being powerless to sue.

i'd have more respect for that site and the people behind it if they were launching emulators with the entire rom libraries and said to nintendo 'fuck off and sue me.'

shows how pussy they actually are when it comes down to it.

also, think about how people went to college/graduate school to code these games lol.

waste of life.

I remember there was an awful computer game decades ago which had the player torture and kill some prisoners in a concentration camp.
