I’m talking in the context of the “capitalist rules”. If you say the aforementioned sentence, you remove the responsibility of the player by dismissing the fact that the winner makes the rules.

PS: Doesn’t work for every context: if the player aims to change the rules because he doesn’t like them, he might see winning as a way to change them. “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” I guess…

        Duh. You could just lie down and die, but here you are choosing to eat and drink and sleep.

        You silly goose, so fixated on surviving.

        Referring to yourself as a “player” usually implies that your goal is to outdo everyone else, not just get by.

          The one referring to themselves as a player, in this situation, is usually screwing over the person they’re talking to.

        Everything is a choice.

        True freedom is the realisation that you can literally do anything.
