All this needs is to make the indigenous person a golden eagle, may not be such a direct relation to the supposed ancient ancestors but certainly more of a descendant than a lizard.

STEM folks having low comphrehension of the world around them is very near the bottom of the west’s problems. A much bigger issue is most people specialising in history, philosophy, economics, international relations etc. not having a clue about their field. One can spend decades studying this or that monetary theory, but without reading the foremost critics of the system of economics, or even realising this system isn’t a natural thing given to us by a metaphor-god, it’s absolutely worthless. Studying history without a proper understanding of materialism is like building a brick wall, making massive holes and then filling them with foam.

Worst of all in my opinion is that westerners can’t differentiate between theory, conjecture and speculation, regardless of education. Something’s only true or false based on one’s preconceived notions.

Weird question bit when’s the botton picture from? There he looks like he’s got more blood in his face than the corpse of Biden has ever had in at least 4 years.

The absolute gall to call us usians in such a vat of ignorance is fucking appalling.

You want to see a Palestine without Hamas? Look at the West Bank. There’s no Hamas there. What a utopia it is, right?

You made sure people know what that is, right? I’m picturing the misunderstanding right now, they think you mean you’re an ace pilot, suddenly they imagine you two having become soulmates when they hear the news that you got into a dogfight and didn’t make it. They’re already devastated, so they cut their losses and leave.

Their approach to game design is as simplistic as their approach to politics or ehatever this moron was thinking. The top 4 best selling video games are as follows:

Minecraft: Enemies don’t direct you towards shit, they spawn in every direction.

GTA5: In level design the claim sort of holds up but normally the enemies are pigs and again, they come from every which way.

Tetris: No ”enemies” to fight.

Wii sports: You don’t move around so moot point.

#6 is Mario and that feels like it might be true but then again, the game forces you to go in that direction and shortcuts aren’t advertised by enemies.

This isn’t my list of best games or anything, but to take a small level/dungeon design concept and to generalise it first to all games and then to life, vaguely, isn’t clever. This isn’t theology dear fellow, your starting position with a western education, some games and 0 books doesn’t grant authority for shit. I know this is just the musings of some kid, but most westerners are uneducated idealists who approach the world this way, and I’ve lost patience for it years ago.

I’m sure many were just as hopeful in the 50s and to some extent into the 60s. A proper socialist bloc forming, the USSR making friends and allies all around, imperialists resorting to lying, distortions and hypocricy to retain their power. The US is on the brink of societal collapse due to the contradictions of its racial policies, colonies breaking their shackles and so on.

I’m not saying the things you’ve lissted aren’t supposed to give you hope, but they’re not supposed to give false hope. In 2020 the US went through an extreme economic instability and through a pittance to the common folk and a media campaign they survived without a hitch. They aren’t collapsing any more than they were in the decade prior, they’re merely deteriorating at pace. Same story in europe.

BRICS and multipolarity are similar in that respect. These are saplings that were planted decades ago and will bear fruit in the coming decades, not a unified socialist bloc that can act together rhe next day, or even the next year. Best case scenario in the short term is that we’ll see them rejection western advances and demands while reducing conflicts between each other in small steps year by year.

I’ll admit, one thing that gives me genuine, short-term hope is the developments in Niger and Gabon, on top of Mali and Burkina Faso of course. I wish to see a domino effect in other neo-colonies. I’m doubtful, yet living in hope.

They are cool as shit but aren’t grandma’s balaclavas also identifiable as shit? Unless they’re exchanging them every so often it might well defeat the purpose.

Although if the bourgeois dictatorship wants to find you given enough time they’re going to find you, so the question may be moot.

Even the attempt is hilarious because it’s not like we haven’t got a decent quality version of the image. I know it’s not 4k or whatever but you can clearly see Neo, unlike the “upscale”.

Did a quick 5 min search, it’s Steel Division series, post doesn’t mention a specific one. The games are RTS games, based on allied pushes during WW2. Like many other RTS games, the units/divisions have voice lines, in this case in their actual languages.

Essentially this fuckwit doesn’t want to fight nazis because the soldiers doing the job happen to be speaking russian.

“We hate the government, not the people!”

“I’ll not have those damn orcs in my game!”

“Individuals of an indigenous group committing individual crimes gives us free pass to commit institutional crimes on them.”

Some wights don’t deserve the capability for language, they just misuse it.

The hook could be better, here’s an idea:

In Capitalist Usia, conformism is valued above all else. Although they espouse the virtues of private property, agents of “HOA” scour neighbourhoods and kick people out of their homes if their lawn doesn’t meet the specific criteria of the area.

The west was still getting a good deal out of China 15 years ago, so they were walking the same tightrope as with the dictatorships they backed: circulating enough bad facts about them, true or false, without riling the people up too much, lest they demand action be taken against them.

What’s amazing about the current coverage is how they’ve mastered the big lie. Bourgeois information control is so great that people don’t think twice about the most ludicrous claims about China, Russia etc unless they’ve already got gripes about the capitalist system they live under.

The maps don’t bear out a lot of places with that sort of a temperature variety. Even they it did, -10⁰C and 40⁰C are just outside the norm for many steppe climates (an example off the top of my head), and there are whole cities of concrete in steppe climate regions.

Wood lasting centuries is even less credible, since wood can’t last decades. Buildings can last in a ship of theseus sense, but the wood itself breaks down for all manner of reasons.

It’s way funnier than that. There was a photo op in December 2021, the photos of which were re-used after the SMO started, often with the implication that they were recent.

Just posting what I found, didn’t watch the video.

Where the hell did you find the only literate youtube commenter?

Region is invaded by actual nazis who destroyed entire settlements

Big brain guy #1: The occupation can’t have been a large factor in depopulation. How about abortion?

Region that had stable population increase under socialism suffers population decline under capitalism

Big brain guy #2: Mhm, must be socialism’s fault.
