there's an entire genre of videos on social media and online (tiktok, youtube, instagram, etc) where it's comparing old western products like anvils and tools to modern Chinese ones, with the outcome always being that the modern chinese one is worse.

They're not comparing apples to apples though, they're comparing like $50 harbor freight anvils to old $1000 solid steel industrial anvils.

nope they are possibly the furthest from communism of anyone. They have woven intricate fantasies to insulate themselves from having to be leftwing. They are specifically anti-left and their ideology is handmade to innoculate peole against the left.

Just like the radlibs were the most fervent warmongers, and in fact the most dangerous imperialists in the USA, these are the most dangerous reactionaries.

no they definitely got sent to a death camp and communicated in morse code and peed themselves and got questioned about hexbear

so unbelievably based, why couldn't i live in this reality

If you support Ukraine you should support their immediate surrender because they have lost and you dragging this out is just killing thousands of them for no reason and making their situation worse by the day.

Your entire logic is "lesser of 2 evils" right?

The two choices with Ukraine is to keep pushing military support until their country collapses and hundreds of thousands more soldiers die, or surrender and take a deal where they disarm and stay neutral.

Guess which one is the "lesser evil"?

Louis was always good at this, just by being a disarming and shy nerd and giving others a platform to speak he's able to get so much out of people

I wasn’t familiar with the books, sorry. I was just referring to the movie where I don’t remember any mechanized space suits but guess that’s just a budget issue

Never said Warhammer had good plots either. There's no Space Marines in giant suits and Protoss (Eldar) in Aliens or Starship Troopers. It maps on pretty 1:1, and is further corroborated with Warcraft ripping off Warhammer 1:1 as well

Honestly Blizzard has never been particularly creative and has always been extremely derivative. They were good at making polished AAA games, but they were't good at world building or writing

there's a reason one of the first major CGI films was Toy Story. Early CGI looked like plastic

If you like Ultima you may also like Tibia, the other MMO from that time period that still is kicking.

Look at this sick art direction, used to love this game as a kid

It was never great. Like most Blizzard IPs it was just ripped off Warhammer with stock generic plots

Diablo 3's art direction was horrendous. Went from dark, gritty and offputting aesthetic to pixar.

Age of Wonders 4 is still going strong and one of the best 4x games out there IMO. Blows Civ out of the water

BG3's environments are so densely detailed and include so much verticality that it feels diorama-like. The camera controls add to this feeling, as you can zoom way out and rotate around from every angle and see "cut-outs" of the verticality from the side with x-ray

GOP are better on Ukraine than the Democrats are, at least admitting the reality of the situation - that it was a proxy war they lost and they now need to extract themselves from it. Democrats are still in kookoo land on this subject.

So if we're calling both American ruling parties support for a genocidal ethnostate a wash, since they both do it equally, and arbitrarily picking other topics instead why don't we use this criteria to argue the GOP are the "harm reduction" candidates since they won't zealously lead us into WW3 and nuclear war?

(I am not advocating voting for the GOP, just using an example to show you the flaw in your logic here)

You've basically already accepted defeat. You're admitting that the DNC will keep moving to the right regardless of our actions, and also that we have no alternative than to vote for them anyway. Have you game theoried that out to see where that ends? That's why I call it a dead-end.

You worldview is fundamentally an anti-human dead end with no path forward

Seems way harder than what i want to do which is use dems to crush gop then beytray DNC.

You don't use the Dems, they use you. The capitalists who own the party have complete control over it, it's a private corporation. You have absolutely 0 chances of taking it over or using it to your ends.

Also have you seen the Democrats dawg? They have like 20% approval rating, they are the most hated "brand" in the entire country. In what way do you think they could ever "crush the GOP"? It's laughable.

A revolution would be bad for the disabled

How is the increasingly fascist state for them? This shit is so bad faith it reeks. I know so many disabled comrades that would laugh this shit out the door

because America will invade you if you cut them out of your market, which is what would truly be necessary to stop American media propaganda
