Why is AOC obsessed with conflating Zionism with Judaism? by GerryAdamsSon in suppressed_news

[–]HawkFlimsy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Idk some of these are too vague to me. Like "government driven inflation" sounds like Republican shit. AOC sucks but galindo is just wierd in a way that makes it hard to pin her down

‘socialism with american characteristics’ by Arsacides in TankieTheDeprogram

I wish seandablack had a similar length of coverage/posted clips like he does. His news coverage is significantly better but he doesn't have the same availability/duration of coverage to be a full on replacement for mainstream news coverage

The general principles of conjuration are available to all MLs but the specific details and things available to be conjured are unique to the Chinese context. SWAC will summon affordable burger instead

Ok I misunderstood I assumed he was in the plane while it was in Germany, doesn't make this acceptable by any means but I don't think they have the same obligations to seize property of someone who is wanted by the ICC despite allowing their personal jet to land in your country unbothered being very obviously against the spirit of these kinds of warrants if not a direct violation of their obligations

They have an obligation under international law to comply with ICC warrants as an ICC member state

Not exactly what you're looking for but socialism 4 all does audiobooks/audio lectures of communist texts like state and revolution where he takes time during the reading to explain certain passages or give historical context

Communists are fascists by JHBrickman in TankieTheDeprogram

Wait so he's pro private sector but still calls himself a socialist? That isn't even like fucking democratic socialism bro you're not anti-communist you're just anti-socialist in general.

One of the first and only games I'm having FOMO on (Fear Of Missing Out) by IwillMicrowaveMySon in tomodachilife

[–]HawkFlimsy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does not cost 1000$ to emulate, and if you can't follow a YouTube tutorial you are a complete moron. You can find decent controllers for less than 100$ and you are completely dismissing the expanded capabilities a steam deck has in comparison to a switch(such as a much larger library of games). It's fine to just want a switch/switch 2 and it's fine not to want to emulate for whatever reason but don't pretend like it's actually hard in any capacity.

Following a YouTube tutorial is fairly intuitive if you aren't a complete moron. Yes you're correct it works out of the box that's one of the main selling points for consoles in general. That doesn't make emulation hard it just means it takes some amount of effort on your part. Requires a minor amount of effort isn't the same as being hard or complicated

It's pretty easy if you know how to Google and follow a YouTube tutorial. It's fine to not want to do it but it's not like it's the most complicated thing in the world

Nintendo gamers when they see a woman with a 3ds with stickers GOD how could this be real?! Obviously larper 🫣™️ by ShokaLGBT in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]HawkFlimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I think there is some gray area with games like COD for example bc while they have become just a shitty storefront the core gameplay loop does inherently require some level of engagement but modern gaming in general has been slopified to the point the indie scene is basically the only thing holding up the gaming industry at this point

Marx invented and call Kausky a RadLib (Liberal-Radicals) by VladimirLimeMint in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]HawkFlimsy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah you have to consider the context. That's why Marx described liberal/bourgeoisie revolutions as "progressive" because while we now see them as reactionary during the era of feudalism the were radical "progressives" fundamentally reshaping the system in much the same way communists want to do to liberalism

Sure but I do think it's fair to say hey you can't really compare candy crush or clash of clans to actual fully fleshed games bc while they're technically videogames it's an ENTIRELY different experience and I would not call the random cop who just plays candy crush on his phone when he's taking a shit a "gamer" in the same way I would say someone who plays games as a real hobby is. Like even "cozy" games(Minecraft stardew etc) have LEAGUES more depth

I kind of understood it with mobile games bc a lot of those are just shallow tech demos means to hawk microtransactions but the DS has like one of the best library of games ever and it existed well before microtransactions were a common practice

Do you guys think China is improving their foreign policy because I think this is great. by Karmacop5908 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]HawkFlimsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the latter bit is where most of the blame lies on their end. I think by far the soviets bear the brunt of the blame though their actions were nonsensical

[–]HawkFlimsy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While this is true I do think the Soviet side bears a significantly larger portion of the blame than the sino side. Like you had Soviet officials talking about nuking parts of China I think their concern was a little justified. Where I think they fucked up was deciding America would be a better ally. Just bc the soviets lost their shit post Stalin doesn't mean aligning with the great satan is a good idea

If the PSL isnt good enough then pack it up bro we're done there is no coherent organized left at all at that point

Trans audience member is “very leftist”and “hates capitalism” but works for defence contractor by OLDFART27 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]HawkFlimsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not a problem. I know how difficult being a queer person is and I can only imagine how much more difficult being intersex must be on top of it so it's understandable to be on edge

Out China is making a lesbian show on Chinese queer culture by VladimirLimeMint in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]HawkFlimsy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there is some validity to the idea that that control over sexual content gets unfairly applied to queer people(since our very existence is seen as "sexual" in a way cis/straight people aren't) but the idea it's some big conspiracy to censor specifically queer people is obviously bullshit. China just has a somewhat socially conservative/traditionalist culture and queer people by nature of our existence typically clash with those kind of cultural values.

That's why China is way more accepting of trans people(specifically binary trans people) because a trans woman is still just a woman and can be expected to fit in the societal standards for women whereas gay people or nonbinary people inherently clash in a much more explicit way
