"Open society"

Pure liberal idealism in theory, the most virulent NATO-NGO financial imperialism in practice.

The Open Society Foundation was literally founded by George Soros to, when you strip it right down to its core, try and avenge himself on China for not letting him destroy their currency the way he had done to other South East Asian countries.

By contrast, since Ukraine is doing so well, it should be perfectly safe for you to go join their volksturm.

I guess that's true from their perspective, when the border moves past their corpse

It's less filled with Nazis than it was previously

I like in DS2, parrying the Pursuer in front of the ballista and deleting it in a hail of bolts.

In general I like boss arena features that act like puzzle pieces (more so than bosses whose entire fight is just a puzzle) and Pursuer is one of the few that really has something like that... but it does so much damage, I have to consider it cheesing.

at least then in multiplayer I could play as the 'bad guys' (anti-imperialists)

The original Modern Warfare, playing as Spetsnaz and being greeted on the victory screen by the anthem of the USSR stalin-feels-good

Even as a kid without any context at all, hearing that theme definitely planted a seed at the back of my mind that these guys were cool.

Comrade, I want you to know your posts are some of the highest quality on the site and indeed on the internet, I have a lot of them saved and bookmarked and I find them an invaluable resource.

I don't think I can offer you what you're seeking, but I can at least tell you that someone out there is reading your words (even just selected quotations from books) and learning a lot from them.

I've never been more bemused/annoyed by a popular indie games depiction of a communist dictatorship since Papers Please.

You may know this already, but one tidbit I like (hate) about that game is the developer was inspired to make it by his experience of going through passport control in... Singapore

 

now that it turns out it's 'racist white men'.

Also just learned it's a quote from a white nationalist neonazi in 1993, I never saw it used for anything other than antisemitic dogwhistling but I assumed the phrase was stolen from some liberal philosopher and taken out of a specific historical context... but no, just a neonazi.

 

Lo, did King Georgius of the Hedge, second of his name, perforce, in expansion of his realm, commission that this deed be done.

 

This story sets my blood absolutely boiling every time it comes up. A 15 year old girl was sex trafficked to Syrian extremists, by a people-smuggling ring run by a man later discovered to be a Canadian intelligence asset, was "married" within 10 days of arriving in Syria, had three children before she was 19 all of whom died, and the day after she was discovered alive in a refugee camp and expressed her wish to come home, she was illegally made stateless by the Home Secretary revoking her British passport in the name of """protecting national security""".

And these savages are literally baying for her blood, gleefully pointing out "It's not illegal because she's not stateless, she can go to Bangladesh, oh but they dispute that she's a citizen and they've said if she goes there they'll hang her for terrorism! Hahaha! pLaY sTuPid GaMeS " smuglord

but she still has extremist beliefs and won't condemn ISIS

OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES, SHE'S LIVED IN A TENT IN THE DESERT SINCE SHE WAS 15. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DERADICALIZED?? Oh, some fucking "anonymous source" in the Telegraph says she was "an 'enforcer' in IS's 'morality police'"? That's fucked up, did she like do anything or kill anyone though? No? Of course not.

These same fucking people will then turn around and shed their crocodile tears about oppression in Xinjiang. If she was Chinese she'd have been brought back, put in a deradicalization center for a few months to a year, given teaching on why her extreme beliefs were wrong along with some education and training, and now she'd be working in a garment factory or something, with a long and normal life ahead of her. Instead the compassionate, civilized West has condemned her to a legal black hole, trapped with no future in the desert camp that her children died in, for the crime of being kidnapped as a child by our own spies, to an extremist organization that, as we all know here, is a US project.

The whole thing is a perfect encapsulation of the inherent brutal, savage cruelty and criminality of western regimes and the bootlickers in their population. I try to remind myself that there are good people here who also think this is a travesty, but when I read this thread I can only get a few comments in before I get the urge, like bile rising up my throat, to scream UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD.

inshallah-script the forgiveness they have shown her, will in turn one day be shown to them.

 

Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

Video: the most normal city ever filmed

Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks... wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! avgn-horror

Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel! phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-1


Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies kim-salute

 

Laugh! Laugh at the inferiority of the untermenschen-crafted weapon! soypoint-2

Featuring such golden comment chains as:

One a/c on the assembly line. Look at manufacturing sites for F-35 and F-22. Dozens of aircraft lined up. That’s the difference.

That’s the first thing I noticed. Russian industrial capacity has literally collapsed, I never realized they were this weak. Compare that to their Chinese allies who have been able to produce an impressive number of J20s pretty fast even though the SU57 had its test flight earlier

Too many people stealing money and limiting their capabilities. Good lol*

*not like our trustworthy Raytheons and Northrop-Grummans, of course edgeworth-smug

 

For when you spy that fash-on-fash violence.

(Great minds think alike but this one has no background)
