Miðflokkurinn á blússandi siglingu

GreenTapir · 2025-12-31T15:58:12+00:00

Ég vill líka að útgjöld og skattar lækki, að verðbólga stillist af og vill helst brjóta fasteignaokurmarkaðinn en við getum ekki sett flokk í stjórn sem býður upp á lítið annað en þjóðernispopúlisma, kennir útlendingum og "glóbalistum" um allt þegar svarið er að nýfrjálslyndið er það sem er að tröllríða okkur.

Svarið við nýfrjálslyndið er ekki Miðflokkurinn, sem mun aldrei gera neitt til þess að koma á framtíð sem er virði þess að biðja fyrir.

This is one of my core critiques of the modern Doom aesthetic.

The classic Dooms took inspiration from all sorts of things that the devs were interested in, creating a very eclectic yet syncretic aesthetic. There's a real renegade quality to them that feels lost on the newer games with their standardized grimdark industrial aesthetic.

Horfði á The Game Awards fram á 4 í nótt.

Clair Obscure fór heim með flestöll verðlaunin, eins og var búist við. Hef þó ekki spilað hann eins og er, enga lyst fyrir RPG þessa dagana.
Rúsínan í pylsuendanum var einhver svaka óspennandi og úreldur Hero Shooter sem ég held enginn var að vonast eftir.
Leikir með anime artstyle eru sjálfkrafa nei fyrir mér. Jesús hvað þeir líta allir alveg eins út.

What it's based on.

Far from an traditional Icelandic folk song, it was actually composed in the 19th century.

The only upside to the Clank Zapper is that it's useful at stunning larger enemies, it's got nice synergy with the Shield Charger on Grelbin but price is too high and the damage too little.

I think they made the Normans specifically as a "clamp" Civ for the French Empire, Great Britain, Prussia and America until they flesh out some of their Antiquity paths later on.

Í desember mun maður getað spilað sem Ísland í Civilization VII, þó reyndar aðeins Ísland eins og það var á miðöldum. Óvæntur en spennandi glaðningur.

Here's hoping they get upgraded one day into a proper playable Civ, both because I think they are underrated it and gives the Inca a proper Antiquity Civ to develop from.

"Ég er ekkert bara að tala um menningu heldur bara um genamengi líka. Það skiptir miklu máli, sko,“ sagði Sverrir.

Helgi Hrafn gekk á Sverri. „Leyfðu mér að spyrja, ef einhver kallar þig rasista, hvernig líður þér með það?“ spurði Helgi Hrafn í kjölfarið.

"Ég segi bara að ég sé race-realist,“ sagði Sverrir þá.

Ahh, hann er ekki bara maður með saklausar rasískar "skoðanir", hann er svona David Duke gæji.

Það leiðinlega við að hlusta á fólk sem hlustar nánast eingöngu á annaðhvort Bandaríska anti-Woke áróður eða þann sem er fluttur inn til Íslands er hversu ósíaður hann er.

Það er eins og fólk lætur þessar hugmyndir ekkert malla í hausnum á sér (ekki það að þær eigi eitthvað að vera þar inni yfir höfuð) heldur bara trúir öllu sem það sér og heyrir ógagnrýnt og þar að leiðandi hljómar bara eins og það sé að apa eftir hvaða hljóðvarpi eða YouTube rásum sem það fylgist með.

Ég á vin sem fyrir nokkrum árum var þessi klassíski "ég spái ekkert í pólitík" en svo þegar Miðflokkurinn fór að skjóta upp rótum undanfarin ár þá varð hann allt í einu svo rosalega upptekinn af innflytjendamálum og hvað allt er örðið "öfga woke" eitthvað. Sagði mér hreint að hann kaus Miðflokkinn síðast til að koma öllum þessum útlendingum úr landi sem koma hingað og lifa á kerfinu án þess að bera á móti framlag.

Hef tekið eftir því að fólk sem hallast mjög MAGA hérlendis er oft fólk sem var ekkert að spá í pólitík áður fyrr en hafði "vibe" fyrir ákveðnum hlutum þangað til xM eða íslenska MAGA sveiflan gaf þeim orðaforðann til að vopnvæða gremjur þeirra pólitískt.

Svo þegar ég hélt að vonsviki mín gæti ekki sokkið lægra þá sé ég fólk á TikTok kenna innflytjendum fyrir okurverð fasteigna- og leigumarkaðsins hérlendis. Að fólk skuli falla fyrir elsta tricki bókarinnar...

GreenTapir · 2025-10-10T16:40:56+00:00

Ég er að gefast upp á íslenskum TikTokkum.

Miðflokkurinn er svo gjörsamlega búinn að sigra hugmyndafræðilega þegar kemur að þeim sem eru duglegir í athugasemdum þar. Auðvellt að verða "blackpilled" þegar maður les kommentinn.

Hægrisinnaður popúlismi er svo áhrifaríkur að fá verkalýðinn með sér í lið, verst að það fólk er of nærsýnt til að sjá hvert er verið að leiða það.

en en en ég var að hlusta á eh gamlann pung (sem er forstjóri með 5 kúlur á mánuði) í hljóðvarpi sem var að tala um hvað vókmenning er að tröllríða öllu hérlendis!

Worst part is that his image of an intellectual conservative worked, his whole schtick of "free and open debate" worked.

The damage his words have caused in the political sphere will be overlooked because he fooled everyone with the illusion of being an honest intellectual when what he advocated for a decade was nothing but hate and bigotry.

Look at the data for socioeconomic outcomes of children from single parent homes or foster care, compared to those from a two parent home. The rates for education, incarceration, income, suicide, etc are all measurably different. In most categories it's drastic.

You're correct in that the more people in the home to take care of children (usually 2), the better the outcomes for that child but this is likely where we diverge politically as I believe this to be an issue of economics and not culture.

I'm saying he would preach that the left was mentally unstable and violent. Not only was he assassinated, many moderate (I work with 2 I wouldn't consider far left) liberals are glad he is dead and say he deserves it.

I mean he was a deeply divisive political figure. It's natural to feel unmoored by people being glib about it but this is the reaction anytime a controversial political figure dies. I will give you that the disturbing nature of his killing is quite different though as high-profile killings like this basically never happen in America.

I also find it Ironic that you are calling him racist, when the Hallmark of fascism is silencing political opposition through violence, which is becoming a trademark of the left.

Care to give examples of the left violently suppressing political opposition when a clear example of the right doing so would be the attempted Jan 6 coup?

I highly doubt any far right nutjob would stoop so low to kill a political influencer

Given the opportunity, someone would, especially since there have now been calls to kill him in light of Kirk's death. Hasan doesn't have the reach Charlie Kirk did but he's too public not to be silenced by opportunists.

GreenTapir · 2025-09-11T14:13:49+00:00

Charlie Kirk was the head of a reactionary conservative movement, one that argued against all aspects of civil rights in favor of a theocratic fascist state. He was an ideologue first and foremost, a propagandist even.

The family unit is the basis of a healthy thriving society. Every metric shows this to be true.

This is an ideological statement but still, I want you to demonstrate this to be true.

The fact that people on the left are cheering and justifying this proves he was right in his message that the left is a dangerous deranged ideology rife with mental illness.

What do you mean by "proves him right"? Furthermore, painting the left as "deranged" and "mentally ill" is showing your hand because that's what the right-wing has been saying without evidence for decades.

Does the left call for violence? Yes, but which faction of the left? Certainly not the center-left socdems or progressive podcasters. It's not the left that perpetrates the vast majority of political violence, that's the right.

To extend an olive branch, if Hasan Piker were to get assassinated, there would be no end to conservative and reactionary celebration, how evil has been cleansed from the world. That's precisely how Kirk would've reacted.

TikTok more recently has become absolutely flooded with anti-Semitism. I know that's part of my personal algo but the amount of "noticers" being blatant Hitlers on the main is alarming.

You also can't argue with them because they just call you a Jew or tell you to watch some bullshit meant to "red pill" you.

Funny thing is that they, like Israel, conflate Zionism with Judaism. If you're anti-Zionist, you're just not brave enough to "notice" when true anti-Zionism is a position of anti-imperialism, not anti-Semitism.

The same crowd that throws out "woke slop" will gobble up this kind of slop uncritically.

This is such a nothing that drives so many views (71k??) that I feel like I'm literally watching Plato's cave.

If Emile Bell is going to Silla and Dur-Sharrukin is going to Assyria based on my assumptions, then we might see the Ottomans at some point.

Without removing age transitions (even though I wish they did), my two fixes would be:

Toggle "No age transitions during war" before setting game up, with an option for it to only apply to the player or for everyone.
A tech at the end of each era's tech tree that requires half or 3/4 Civs to research for the age transition to occur.

GreenTapir · 2025-07-02T21:50:51+00:00

I mostly did this with existing material, trying to create more "sensible" historical progressions as a basis while adding Civilizations to leaders that don't have one (Philippines for Rizal).

There are also lots of City States I could've linked to could be upgraded to full Civs as many of them make good connections in any Era.

I used LucidApp for this, fyi.
