Did they really? If you look up his name via a search engine and grab results dating a month back and beyond, there's plenty of articles giving non-negative spotlights of him. If the establishment media were all trying to unanimously sabotage him, all they'd have to do is the opposite - stop reporting on him, given how politics is just money + media competition.
Fitgirl is a repacker, not a cracker so this really depends what kind of a release is it, so you'd have to test by yourself.
It should work when it comes to launching the game, I've done it before in the past. But in theory, it's unlikely to work with achievements given how cracks tend to overwrite the steam api dll files and hooks, likely disabling achievements in the process as part of the crack.
Something you could try is to copy the steam dll files like steam_api64.dll from the original copy on steam to the cracked one and see if that does the trick.
The problem with democracy as it is right now isn't that it's "the majority rule" (it isn't), but the fact that it's a tool of legitimizing class rule.
You get a bunch of pre-approved bourgeois candidates and parties who will either bring about further entrenchment into Capitalism (with people like Trump) or literally nothing (as seen with socdems around the world), and the parties that usually win are determined by the amount of control they have over media or "the loudest voice" aka money.
BG3 is pretty good for that to be honest - good character customization, there's a learning curve to be sure so its not a power fantasy until you get past that.
I really do hope more people (such as progressive leftists) can get around their preconceived notion that capitalism, commodity production and value-forms is the only way a society can organize productive forces. Many of the issues of today aren't the result of us having the "wrong kind of currency", but the fact that currency is necessary in the first place.
Showering only every 2 weeks during summer back when I was living in a peasantoid lodge where getting water and a bath/shower ready is a major pain in the ass.
The right also has some prominent socio-economic writers such as Thomas Sowell and other writers adjacent to Austrian school thought, so it's not just media slop but also book slop.
It's just a bit unfortunate that the right doesn't read any theory, even ones that agree with their worldview, they just like talking about the authors because book = smart. Same with the left - there's lots of people who proclaim themselves to have some theoretically heavy position (e.g. communism or anarchism) then proceed to say the most stupid shit.
