I wonder if modern "enlightened, tolerant" people will ever realize they're in the throes of an unreasoning tribal hatred greater than any ever practiced by the "primitives" in Babylon or Sumeria. All of the hatred Christians reserved for the devil, they've placed on enemies of the neoliberal western state, but without the mercy and pragmatism.
The modern world hasn't made people better. It's made them feel grander, which has allowed them to devolve into filth without noticing.
The social media war is horrifying. Every individual feels it necessary to engage in geopolitical posturing, which has resulted in a never-ending feedback loop of escalation. President Biden, who won without evidence, is even encouraging Ukrainian civilians to throw their bodies in front of Russian tanks. These people are needlessly agitating to get as many civilians massacred as possible.
If you removed the democratic force that is activating every individual as a political actor and the social media which is allowing them vicariously participate, this conflict would have already been resolved.
Throw yourself in front of tanks to protect o̶u̶r̶ your globohomo government, goy. (who will replace you in a couple of decades anyway. )
Honestly, this really is the progressives turning towards their bad old ways.
This is very reminiscent of the Anti-German sentiment of WW1 during the Progressive Era.
We're not quite at the levels of Anti-German sentiment post-WW2 yet though. I learned yesterday that in certain countries, Germans had to wear white stars on their clothes, were severely limited in their mobility and were a constant target of harassment, violence and murder.
Well, that's pretty far away. Somewhere between 40,000 and 150,000 Germans were killed post-war due to reprisals. It's not an accident that Germans were being forced to wear stars and face open discrimination. The people conquered by Germany during the war had Germans forced into their communities that the locals were intentionally displaced from. This occupying Germans treated all the people they subjugated badly, which is why these reprisal measures were put into place.
It's not a surprise that people who survived the Holocaust in occupied countries would go on to take reprisal attacks against ethnic Germans as a result of the actions done against them.
What I'm talking about is the level of discrimination during the war in America.
It must be nice- it must be nice- to have every godless satanic corporation on your side.
Those corpos seem to be trying get as many slavs killed as possible without any sacrifice on the part of the corps.
Isn't this is like their template for BLM? Corporate virtue signal PR statement generator.

Black->Ukraine.Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed.
NPC don't notice though, they just see this and receive this as an update to their subroutines.
I saw an email that was passed around through upper-management today.
An alphabet agency is "scrutinizing" any company which has 'Russian Nationals' (read: Russians) in positions of authority for possible 'money laundering'.
This could easily be expanded and weaponized against ethnic-russians generally. I feel like that is also where this is going.
"China virus" is apparently an attack on all Asians, and yet we're banning and 'scrutinizing' ethnic Russians for existing in the west.
Because Russians are White and Asians are diverse.
Yet if you try to use words to distinguish between diverse Asians (such as "oriental"), they flip out.
I'm just waiting for them to implement the "random player heart attack" game dynamics to more closely model the "modern" sport.
Might want to check out Football Manager 2022 and check out steam workshop, perhaps something will be uploaded there in the near future.
What a brilliant idea for a mechanic!
"The league requires players to be vaccinated. However when a player is vaccinated, they have a 1% chance of dying on the field per game. That risk increases by 1 additional percent every three games. Choose your bench carefully."
I’m sure they’ll do the same to Chinese teams when they invade Taiwan.
Right lol
Didn't Ice Hockey on the NES have the USSR as a playable option?
Reminds me of that Extra Credits where they suggested being able to play as a Nazi was bad unless you were working against them from the inside.
Don't read that book, it's hate speech.
Don't watch that show, it doesn't have representation.
Don't think that thought, it's your privilege shining through.
It's not hard to see why nobody gave a shit when a Democrat president literally rounded up every Jap and stuffed them into domestic concentration camps.
In fairness we were at war with Japan when he did it, we aren't at war with Russia (yet). We probably would have rounded up every German if we could have but 25% of Americans had German ancestry/heritage.
Canada had lots of Germans, and we still interred people with German citizenship as well as people with Japanese citizenship.
And gee, we're so horrible that people from both countries interred at POW Camp 133 came right back to the area after the war (legally). Many of them had been allowed to work around the area; there wasn't anywhere to run to at the time, see. A German might have gotten further than a Jap - until he had to speak.
The original Civilization had Stalin as Russia's leader ....
To be fair, Stalin never warred with post-USSR Ukraine.
I believe so yes, and maybe it's my imagination but I think they were harder than the other teams.
I remember the hardest AI opponent was Czechoslovakia, which stood out as BS even to us kids.
Of course, what do some Japanese programmers know about 1980s hockey?
Cancel culture has finally progressed into cancelling an entire country.
EA needs to be removed from existence
Oh lord. It's the BLM bullshit all over again.
WE SUPPORT $CURRENT_TOPIC$
We've always been at war with Eurasia!
Are people refunded, since this should include microtransaction purchases?
Definitely rational to punish sports teams for the military actions of their country. I'm sure most of these damned grass gnats moonlight as high ranking military officials.
Ukrainian Lives Matter?
Is that a White Fist with a Swastika tattoo?
This shit is just so utterly fake and gay. When will people wake up?
Globalist machine at work
As if we needed another reason to tell EA to get fucked

Let's be honest, I doubt many Russians are buying this garbage anyway.
This is insane
2018 canceling gay frogs
2022 canceling countries
I think these corpos are pressuring russians to overthrow putin. Its what it seems like to me.
Putin is finished
Beyond stupid. If globohomo is 100% behind Ukraine, you know something is wrong.
That is just downright excessive and absurd. Fine with sanctions against Russia and all, but we are now moving into the terrain of absolute stupidity.
