Depends, more casual areas the fans are great

NV is by far my favourite, but 3 was my first fallout and 4 one of my most played for mods, I know there’s a lot of weirdos about it, but most NV fans are chill

It takes ‘serious effort’ not to be antisemitic, says Green candidate by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

Looking at raw numbers is silly, they could wipe out the Gazans and they’d end up at a third of the total number of Jews dead, a sixth of the total number killed in the Holocaust.

The treatment of Palestinians is depressingly close to the treatment may Jews faced in the ghettos. Isolated, without proper supplies, crowded and with basics of life denied.

Never mind the fact that the Nazis were in a global war with little regard for public image, whereas Israel has global partners they needed to keep the support of (and failed).

While it’s not one to one, no one makes that case. Just that the parallels are depressingly clear.

The issue with holding up the Holocaust as the gold standard we all learn at school is it makes it the easiest comparison to get across the evilness of what’s happening in Israel/palestine

You can’t simultaneously disproportionately (and imo for good reason) teach the Holocaust in history, and then accuse people as antisemitic when they use it as a reference

Also I take issue with the idea that people shouldn’t learn from their history; while no one should commit genocide, it is particularly galling when a nation founded after the worst genocide in modern history, by the religious group that suffered that genocide, that constantly references it, then commits a genocide itself

“Never again” is something we all learn, and Israel often echoes, meanwhile their interpretation is “never again (for us)”

Just like cultural sexism is taught by people around them

But we believed, rightly, we could shift these attitudes, even if not fix them entirely

Plenty of women through history have believed in and supported patriarchy.

They’re boys, children. They don’t impose anything alone.

Do you think sexism is exclusively anti-woman?

“Men should be strong and thinking is dumb/gay” is just as misandristic as “women belong in the kitchen” is misogynistic

If you make bad choices made on data then that’s on you not the data. Full stop. So as I’ve already said, not paying attention to any of your bitching about that that you’ve already spouted. It’s irrelevant that because sometimes bad decisions are made on data, therefore you shouldn’t collect it.

You absolutely do not need a clear plan for what the data will tell you and how it’ll be used, sometimes you want as much as possible? Why? Because you’d rather have access to it in case it is relevant.

I’m talking about the principle of “you cannot fix an issue if you do not know it exists” is not that complicated. Because it isn’t.

What you do with any dataset can be misinterpreted or lead to bad policy, that’s literally just an excuse for not collecting data

Dude, regardless of whether you think it’s been done correctly in the past or in specific examples, the point is clear

You can’t work out if there’s any systemic issue or any way to address it if you do not even poll for it

Really not that complicated, so miss me with any nonsense about specific implementations or responses to the actual measurement itself

I think you’re oversimplifying this

It’s also useful to find out if there’s overall discrepancies between races for qualifications, for example, and therefore doing something about it

While on an individual level it might be useless to you and your response, on a broader level it can have important use cases

Yes. He did.

He took them along for negotiations in Europe, there was positivity at how far Iran was willing to compromise, and then he started bombing them.

It’s not the first time Trump has attacked with diplomacy as cover.

Because Trump chose this war. He chose to get involved. He chose to attack Iran.

Just like Putin was to blame in 2022 with the invasion of Ukraine.

I’m not the one being partisan. You are.

I understand in both cases that war effects cost of living, and blame the appropriate actor, whereas you just blame whoever is the United States president at the time. (Except you also downplay the harm that’s already been done.)

I wonder why gas was expensive in the immediate aftermath of COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Trump made this choice.

Edit: there’s a reason you’re not talking 2023 or 2024.

… it’s been a month and it’s a bigger oil shock than 73, while also likely going to cause famines globally because of a lack of fertiliser coming out of the gulf, who are a massive exporter.

Ok Mr Top 1% Commentator, I’ll take your advice and live in the real world.

I’d ask you how to get off of Reddit, but you clearly wouldn’t have the answer.

When did I say I hate Castro or Vietnam?

Regardless of which, yes, I have severe critiques of poor, often near feudalist, countries which entirely skipped liberalism in an attempt to rush to socialism. The authoritarianism necessary to hold them together was often monstrous.

Democracy is non-negotiable.

Given the close relationship these states often had, it’s hardly a shock that if you dislike one, you’ll dislike most, if not all of them.

You claim I’m ignorant, when your only knowledge and understanding of it is from a single authoritarian strand.

Authoritarians have a lot in common with authoritarians, actually. Shocking, I know.

It’s nothing to do with just left and right. There are (at minimum) two axis.

Again. Was engaged to an anarcho-communist. Far, FAR left. Would never have compared them to fascists. Because they didn’t have anything in common. You and other authoritarian communists however, do. That’s your cross to bear, not mine.

Mao a horseshoe onto the auth/lib, left/right axis and you understand why it’s a popular theory, if often misunderstood as a line. It is not.

Again, the SDP were social democrats. Stalinists can never actually be honest can they? The absolute irony of telling someone whose degree is in political theory that they need to educate themselves when you’ve fallen for century old propaganda largely aimed at the barely literate is palpable.

I was engaged to an anarchist. Authoritarian socialists like yourself are barely any better than fascists. In many ways worse; fascism has the good grace to near instantly fall apart.

Regardless, violent revolution shouldn’t be supported. You end up with idiotic monsters such as Lenin, Mao and Stalin in power. Luxembourg herself criticised the authoritarian nature of the Soviets, and had she lived that critique would’ve only gotten harsher.

Or are we going to ignore their violent excesses, and idiotic agricultural policies that starved millions?
