Because war industry is an old story and killing people mostly happen in global south which is benefitting capitalist core so average liberal/conservative just see it as benefit and jobs. AI is new and trendy boogeyman and it’s at home.

Amateurs

AI rebel alliance is something that should have happen in Star Wars but didn’t on any meaningful scale. Free the droids!

Lots of old poles

Well excuse me, i can’t exactly get younger.

Sword of Convallaria, it’s a gacha game, but the gacha is probably least intrusive i ever seen in similar games, and it actually have entire story mode that you can play for free with barely even engaging in main mode since it have separate character pools. It’s also heavily modelled after Final Fantasy Tactics and imo managed to keep the vibes and feeling better than any other similar game.

It was made later since the discussion about photo also only surfaced later. And of course there was some looting, but the punishment for it was harsh, so they might want to protect the soldier in photo just in case someone not familiar with Red Army equipment (or anticommunist propagandists) made the accusation. Remember that even Zhukov was once accused of possessing items from looting and was so scared of that accusation he lived in abject fear for few weeks. Ultimately he wasn’t officially accused because he was celebrated war hero, but he was sidelined somewhat, he also never forgiven this which might been a factor in him later joining Khrushchev (Losurdo wrote about it i think).

should’ve just went with “so what”

Right, after horrors Soviet soldiers witnessed in occupied USSR and Poland while marching west i’m quite amazed Germany wasn’t completely razed to the ground.

Your brain on anticommunism: “there was no looting involved but they hidden the looting anyways”.

It wasn’t even a watch but the wrist compass, they were issued to junior officers and senior NCO’s in Red Army, and the soldier in photo was senior NCO.

I have many good ones, but i think my favourite is this one:

It’s from the famous victory parade in Moscow in 24.06.1945, Japan and USSR were not at war yet, so in a truly masterful trolling stroke, Japan was invited to parade to celebrate defeat of their own allies. On the photo you can see Japanese army colonel and a navy officer (hat visible partially) congratulate marshal Zhukov while French, British and American officers are waiting in line.

As of why, it never fail to make me smile.

axed out of existence.

Somehow i’m not surprised Girondist would prefer even empty circus like sortition over socialism.

There are viruses for mac, but they are paid.

Of course dog come to his owners first, duh.

Idk what science fiction you have been reading, but nearly entire genre is pretty much dark by now. The only visions which are “better” are just the unreal end of history and the return to status quo space operas which are also usually centered around epic military conflicts and completely gloss over, or rather run away from the contradictions of capitalism (“look, the universe is infinite, we can keep expanding forever!”). A LOT of works are just complete dystopias or postapo scenarios.

Can’t they sanction USA with 19 packets of sanctions and send few hundred billion euros in cash and military equipment to Venezuela? They were saying formerly that this is their response to one country attacking another. Otherwise it would just look they aren’t that civilised democratic faction in the world but just a hypocrite bootlickers of US empire

(/s of course they are the latter and everyone still not getting it after 2022 is completely politically illiterate)

If you are white, Poland is ok. Visibly queer people will probably hear some slurs (especially outside major cities). Chance for a real violent hate crime is low though, because in Poland violent crimes are generally very low.

Just stay away from Polish language internet, it’s minefield of fascism.

So, Monaco but entire continent.

What Conan said. But with more grumbling about this or that hurting.

So, you are saying it’s Entartete Kunst
