I think meanings of words just change. Liberal 100 years ago is different from a liberal today, so usually when we say liberal, we probably mean neoliberal. Is it academically correct? No, but it’s an internet forum, we don’t need to use as precise language as possible.

But don’t take my word for it. I could be completely wrong and there might be another reason.

Increasing tariffs by 60% while your population can’t even afford a loaf of bread is a fucking genius idea, bro. Keep it up, Ukraine will be rebuilt in no time.

I LOVE how he says: “Stalin was a murderous dictator who slaughtered tens of millions of people, including his own”. Yeah right, like there’s much difference between killing your own people and people elsewhere, sounds so amerikkkan.

Wonderful, now I get to speak in my second language, but ironically, not the first…

Dude, what the fuck. Why does it have millions of views and tens (or rather hundreds) of thousands of likes? The comments are repulsive too, I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT.

Okay, so I wanted to make a comment saying that a shit ton, if not the majority of g*mers (in the triple-A industry) are anti-woke racist fuckers, but I’m not sure how true that sentiment is.

The reason why I wanted to say that is because the overall narrative that I see among “woke”, sweet baby topics is dominated by these kinds of people. And the other side is represented, maybe, only among the developers and a small portion of not braindead gamers, who don’t play only Sony AAA exclusives.

But I hesitated because sales numbers don’t usually lie. Those scary “woke” games still made a shit ton of money, so I could probably just be exaggerating the number of people who actually care about this.

What do you think?

Fascism < Territory

Liberals got their priorities straight, probably why they were giving up Europe to Nazis so easily… Oh wait, well, war could have started, so then peace probably is more important than Territory.

Fascism < Territory < Peace

But USSR wanted to help out France and Britain in case of German expansion and they didn’t took this proposal, so it probably looks like this.

Being allies with Soviets < Fascism < Territory < Peace

Got it, Soviets are evil, case closed.

Did you try to change sort type in settings?

What app are you using? Or is it on the website?

It’s not that hard to switch browsers since most of them are pretty much the same. Sure, you need some time to adjust, but I think it’s much easier than enduring shit that google forces upon you.

Well I’m not going in completely blind + I can’t know everything about every topic. But I’m seeking more knowledge, thus the reason why I made a post.

Thank you so much for the links! Started with Another View of Stalin

No no, don’t get me wrong, I totally get it. While I think that the statement is true, it’s not the only way I tried to explain my position. Like I said, we are having respectful discussions with one another and I try to not be overly emotional. It’s very important to find a nicer footing in the dialogue in order to convey your thoughts more clearly.

It’s unbelievable how the whole prequel trilogy was about liberal democracy being turned into a fascist empire and Star Wars fans still don’t get it.

Sorry if I confused any of you, should’ve clarified that I’m straight, now I feel kind of shitty because I probably tricked a lot of people into thinking otherwise. Not that only LGBTQ+ people can comment under the post, but still.

Saying that, because of the mobilisation, male population is still under a shit ton of pressure in Ukraine, only multiplied if you’re queer, but I don’t think much will change under Russia’s rule, if there will be one. For liberals, Ukraine might appear as western rainbow utopia where LGBTQ+ people are widely accepted, but considering how many Nazis are here… I have my fair share of doubts about this perspective.

People are so confused, in fact, that in my university I have a person, who is an open Bandera supporter, while being gay and friends with a Jewish girl. Pretty crazy mind fuck if I ever saw one.

If we’re talking about the future of Ukraine, man, I just want all of this to end as fast as possible. I don’t care whether it be Russia or Ukraine, because at the end of the day, what’s the difference? (except that Russia is anti-west, sort of, and Ukraine is pro-west)

I wish we took that deal at the start, many people would still be alive, economy and morale wouldn’t be so fucked and I probably could’ve returned home, now I’m not sure about that no more.

I’m curious, what other regimes are on that list?

Thank you so much, comrade! While it is stressful, especially for her, and I have no doubt the psychological impact won’t be fun, we are in a pretty safe spot compared to the region of the country we fled from. It’s much safer and not as dangerous and we hope it stays that way.

Fuck that’s heartbreaking. Double for me because having a girlfriend and living in Ukraine reinforces pretty hard the fear of losing loved ones, but I can’t even imagine how awful it is in Gaza where it’s 10-100 times worse than here…

The US, Japan, South Korea are the best examples

You know, the US that were so democratic to genocide the native population of the continent, using slave labor to build their economy while being systematically racist for their whole existence. The country that didn’t have a single war on their soil, brought wars, despair and poverty to the other regions of the world.

Or fucking Japan that was just dumped with money and US control to become their satellite state, just like South Korea. So in order to be a democracy, and not to be the US, you need to totally give up your sovereignty? Is that how it works?

Is that the price that you need to pay to be a democracy? The one of the best examples of it? What the fuck is this guy thinking.

His response is interesting.

It also leads to racial hatred and division and doesn’t actually address the issues. It’s like Nazis saying that black people commit so much crime because of biology. It’s false, leads needlessly to hate, and nothing gets done.

He basically created a straw man because I rarely/ever see “woke” media that is genially racist towards white people. But then he’s trying to compare “white struggle” in the MEDIA to a real life struggle of black people, which is really fucked up. And what’s funny, he’s saying that “Nazis” say that, when people that are generally on the right are keen to be racist and make those claims, but he doesn’t want to associate with them, to not seem like he is battling one racism with the other, so he says that exclusively Nazis say this shit.
