"evil see see pee has breadlines"

What? You mean that there are dedicated community services fully financed by the state to feed the community actual shelf-stable food that isn't spoiled or expired? It's free too and accessible to anyone not just church-members or specific townships? Sounds better than America.

"people disappear in evil see see pee"

woah, wonder what ICE is doing these days.

"You don't have freedom in evil see see pee"

Don't make any Charlie Kirk jokes or your employment is subject to scrutiny!

"social credit score"

economic credit score

"apartments are only 15ft by 15ft big, standing room evil see see pee"

sounds better than a closet you pay 200 dollars a month for to live in

Why is that evil china propaganda sounds better than most living conditions American proles live in?

Glad that CPUSA candidates won in local elections, especially in places like Texas.

Always a good thing to see.

how come the DPRK is insanely good at football but China sucks on all levels lol.

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I saw this niche documentary (if it even was that) on the DPRK years ago and in it the maker visited a football school at one point. As in, a legit school for football. Not sure how good the facilities are these days or if China doesn't have the same, but that could explain it. More investment is more result.

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 3 days ago

Dutch media, however, is saying they are good because the regime sees this as a perfect propaganda opportunity.

Which would not explain why the men's team is shit and the women's team isn't. Because having a men's team competing would arguably be better propaganda. Can't be better facilities in a country that sees women as equal.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Correct me if i'm wrong but i think China just isn't that into football as a culture. They have other sports they are very good at.

So my union might be taken over by capitalists. The member parliament didn't vote for a plan by the supervisory board that would basically turn the union into a company where the supervisory board would appoint the board of directors instead of the member parliament. So now the supervisory board is suing the member parliament. One of the people in the supervisory board is a former politician for the socialdemocratic party who helped implement austerity policy. Proves that socialdemocracy serves to destroy the workers movement from within.

[–] demerit@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 4 days ago

During the allied occupation of Germany, the us basically removed socialists from union leadership and put conservatives in their place, so nowdays unions just rubber stamp company policies. And remember it was polish unions that brought down their socialist republic.

[–] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Most unions (exceptions?) in the imperial core are not revolutionary in the slightest, their goal is securing overtime + wage stabilization for a select group of workers. You guys need land reform, capital controls + expropriation measures, employment & education provisions. None of that is a part of western leftist politics, including the stuff that postures as radical and antiimperialist. If it doesn't even educate people on the economic structure of imperialism, how can it be revolutionary because it quotes Sankara? Mamdani is easy to criticize. People need to see what the PSL, the FRSO, and others are doing by repainting failed Vietnam War era sheepdog tactics that coincided with the repression of armed movements and the successes of Ho Chi Minh, taking credit for the sacrifices of the latter

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah. Remember when the dock workers union shutdown for a while but carved an exception for military shipments lol. America is a joke with zero class conscience.

[–] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 5 days ago (5 children)

If you have no plans for Saturday, you can watch the football match between North Korea 🇰🇵 and the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Where could I watch it? Not even the Dutch tv will be showing it, it seems.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think they are scared to broadcast the Netherlands team loosing to the DPRK

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well looking at how the game goes that is an understandable choice

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Unfortunatly I cannot find a cast of the game so I only have the score update, I am going to take it the score is telling the whole story?

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Rainpizza linked the fifa one which is working alright for me

But yeah the DPRK is much better.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

happy anniversary of the october revolution!

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There's this neolib politician in Belgium who from time to time makes based comments by accident. He fully supported Palestine at one point and now with the new government failing to form he told the prime minister to call to Vietnam to see how they did things some time ago as he saw that as a great example of what to do.

Please, do adopt Vietnamese mindset.

Everytime a new drone pops up in Belgium, which is several times a day right now, I can't help but play 99 Luftballons in my head

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All I know is that its the brits fault and I'm pretty sure they are using the constant war and ethnic cleansing to hide their use of slave labor to mine gold and launder it through the UAE.

[–] demerit@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Israhell has also been fuelling every civil conflict in sudan (and the South Sudanese civil war), because Sudan used to host the largest communist party in the arab world and used to be an anti-imperialist aligned pan-Arab state. Sudanese socialists even co-wrote the green book.

I'm not good with computers and Europa Universalis V refuses to even launch, not giving me an error code, a crash report, or even anything. It launches, then immediately goes from stop on the play button to play again. Nothing else between. I was gifted the game.

For the past two days, I have been struggling for answers. Graphical drivers are updated. Windows is updated. BIOS shouldn't be a concern as I do not have a struggle playing any other single Paradox game or any game for that manner. I have decent specs and others with the same specs are able to play the game. I have attempted different launch options of -dx11 -dx12. I'm convinced rituals of incense and prayers would be more helpful than any of the suggestions from the developers or people on some of the forums.

It's a shame, really was looking forward to it.

[–] demerit@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What are your specs? EU5 has crazy high requirements. I think you need like at least 32GB RAM

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

16gb for minimum plus a mid-range i7 or ryzen 5

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

if my i7 is like a single gen below and it refuses to launch whatsoever w/ no error/crash report, that is crazy.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

yeah, that does suck, i wonder why the requirements are so high
i get that the map painting games are pretty cpu heavy but surely it shouldn't be that much more than the previous games

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Even then, what the hell happened to just being able to run the game with some chop/jank? Most of my early PC history was using scavenged machine shop computers (rust-belt) or thrown out college computers to play games and even if they were poor requirements it'd still run just run like shit.

[–] Onewhoexists@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Doubt it’s a performance thing, even my Steam Deck can run it at about 40 fps. Hope you find a solution somewhere.

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

32gb, 3050, later i7 series. Should be good, no? I'm not amazing with hardware stuff just using system info, most of my PC stuff was gifted or scavenged

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Paradox support, that you?
