I think some are disappointed because Gaza's not rescued or anything, but status quo does give Iran time to develop an actual nuclear weapon (which they need to do if they don't want to be glassed the next time Israel wants to exercise their bloodlust)

Duh. And I don't have to tell you that punitive torture isn't gonna magically stop the rest of the IDF, and that everyone on this site should oppose torture because of the many obvious reasons to. Unless I do have to educate you on basic principles because you joined Hexbear 12 days ago

Why don't we stick to discussing news in the news mega, not making comments that belong on 4-chan. Just because passions are (rightly) high doesn't mean we should make comments that run counter to our materialist analysis and beliefs

https://t.me/FFC_official_channel/482 🚨🚨The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white irritant substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio.

If you don't want to be baffled I recommend checking out c/theory and looking at the sidebar for reading recs

 

Plenty of games, especially strategy and simulator games, have game mechanics related to politics or economics. From Recettear’s “Capitalism Ho!” to Hearts of Iron 4’s focus trees, political descriptions can be added to flavor game mechanics, and because different game devs have endless variation in personal worldviews, these additions can be absurdly bad at times. Even if the mechanic itself is good, it can have dunk-worthy labelling. Post the worst that you can think of, even if they come from an otherwise great game.

I’ll start: In Civilization VI, different government types you choose have different slots for policy cards, which let you select political policy bonuses for your civilization. In the modern age, two of the government types you can choose are “Democracy” and “Communism”. Already this is liberal drivel conflating Communism with non-democracy and “authoritarianism”. But the policy slots for these governments are even dumber, as Democracy gets more “diplomatic” and “economic” policies, and Communism gets more “millitary” policies. Famously, America and the west (clearly what Democracy is inspired by) never destabilized the world with arms manufactoring and invasions, I guess.

 

Anyone got any VPNs to recommend? I know there's a lot of varying quality out there. I'll appreciate any recommendations, but I'm just looking to pirate games (in U.S.) and not get a letter from my ISP, so whatever is simple and easy for that purpose.

 

I wonder what those people are up to now.
