xcom and Stellaris

you might like terra invicta. i think its even made by former devs of a xcom mod.

as opposed to having a single one, which is how you get Rhodesia.

sure. The world is a hostile place. Plenty of forces want you robbed to your last cent at best, raped and dying in a ditch at worst (or, not even at worst, they have plenty of imagination).

The basic design of every society implies that you, as an adult, are capable of identifying, and brushing aside the crude obviously hostile manipulative "social engineering" shit.

It is supposed to be the job of churches, unions, clubs and all other low-level groups to help you with this. Instead, they all sold us out.

churches, I blame the most for this. They're the ones suposed to have the most stable moral compass. When all else fails, a beacon of meaning in a sea of despair. And they squandered it all on bullshit crusades.

so, what you're saying is, there is no obvious added value compared to titillating videos on a screen ?

that doesnt sound like a counterargument.

i'm just amazed at the magnitude of the fuckup by the "cultural stewards of society". how the fuck do you make the value proposition of getting a partner so bad, that even with all the 20-yo male hormone storm putting the finger on the scales on your side, more and more men still go "eh. not worth the trouble".

no reason to be confused. they view self defense as "right wing political violence", it makes perfect sense.

Syria’s “moderate rebels” are dragging civilians by car to their death.

well, someone must've told them that being woke means doing drag shows.

thy will also have a Turkish-sponsored Islamist breeding ground at their northern border. Time will tell how much of a win this is.

Assad also didn't help the situation, by letting his army revert to peacetime levels of corruption. The Russians didnt help the situation by using their Syrian contingent as a parking ground for retarded command staff (so that they stay out of the way of more important things going on in Ukraine). Of all the states that lost here, only Iran maybe didnt deserve it as much as the others. The kurds came out pretty much unscathed, which i guess is not unexpected because they didnt actually let their army rot(and being a sort-of-US-proxy probably also helped)

another thing he lost by calling these early elections... is the ability to threaten the parliament to call an early parliamentary election.

parliamentary elections can only be called once a year.

so now he can't threaten them into not kicking out his prime minister. and what do you know, on the first opportunity they got, they voted the government out.

so, you suggest hitting their daily standup meeting with a cruise missile?

i mean, objecively, there is no need for tags. if a game released in $current_year has somewhat human characters vaguely involved in gameplay, has a "diverse" cast and no cute and gratuitously sexy chick in the promo material - its likely to be woke and can be reasonably written off.

though I can think of a few examples breaking this rule, its probably 98% correct. thats good enough in my book.

its not indicator of a good game, mind you- steam is full of tittyslop. but its a game not made by people who hate you, want you dead, and your kids raped and/or sterilised.

it already has LGBTQ+ as steam tag, thats close enough.

I am aware he is not actually Jewish

then again a decent share of Israel population come from what is now Ukraine. cause "wait, I can leave the soviet union for Israel if I'm jewish?!! sure, my greatgrandma was totally a Jew, here, look at this document from the defunct russian empire that no one alive can reasonably claim is a fake!"

necklacing is a culturally enriching practice, right ?

pareidumbia

Pistols at dawn.

How disgustingly colonialist. let everyone use their culturally appropriate weapons.

Every day I see more evidence that asylums firing squads are an important component of a functional society.

ftfy

I'm really annoyed at the idea that criticism is somehow invalid or useless, if it doesn't offer solutions. This is just not true, though if it were, it would make my job as a software engineer waay easier. IMO its just a manipulative trick to dismiss nontrivial, hard-to-address criticism.

I'm allowed to go see my mechanic saying my car is making weird noises, without providing him a solution. I'm allowed to say some piece of software is shit without providing guidance beyond "stop hiring cheap moron devs from India".

Similarly, anyone, including political commentators, is allowed to say that there is a problem without drawing up a full action plan to deal with it. It is supposed to be the Politicians' job.. We give them a problem, they offer us a solution, if we like it we vote for them. Thats how its supposed to work.

If everyone around you tells you $problem is getting serious, its not meant to blackpill you, its meant to make you support politicians who offer solutions.

you have to be more innovative about it. put the execution rights to auction.

its too expensive to deal with criminals

fine. firing squad it is...

well, yeah they have a purpose. how else would I know what woke shit not to buy?

south Korean feminazi sect

both of them are good at their jobs if they are good at inducing completely manufactured emotions. it makes total sense.

its not anti-theatre sentiment, you moron. its anti-actor.

you really cant figure out why a society would not want to grant social cred to people whose job is to lie and pretend? you really cant figure out why a society would want to send the message that lying and pretending, is stuff biotrash does?

not you, op, "you" the dumbass redditor.
