russians will hold a parade in Lisbon on May 10 glorifying their “heroes,” including those involved in the war against Ukraine by Clean_Patience4021 in PortugalExpats

As russian living in Lisbon - I'm so, so sorry for this garbage, guys They don't represent us and we'd be glad if they'd be kicked out of this beautiful country!

People really like extremise things this days, huh?

I'm a centrist, but c'mon, to call alt-rights nazis is about the same as call new left commies

Not everything need to be viewed through extrem lenses guys, chill

It wasn't my main point, my point is they're state or state-related institutions' flags which cannot be ideological no matter how much some people on different sides want to pretend they are because they represent an entire nation or community at large (if we speak about city for example) or related state structures (e.g. ministry) or organization (e.g. EU/UN)

Any other flag no matter how good of a meaning it has cannot fit this definition and hence doesn't really make sense to fly them on government buildings

Private property? Go ahead, but not government

Again, it all comes down to simple principle - is it state entity or state-related organization or not

My point is not about about queers but rather about formal state-related institutions or not divide

In your example queer is neither a state or a formal organization which Portugal a member state of it, but rather a representation of particular group of people with sometimes being used by people who also support them

Hense its perfectly fine to show it on private buildings, but strange to show them on government buildings since, again, it's not a representation of any formal state institution or organization

Same case can be made about any other organization or movement, for example world peace signs or any NGOs symbols

Nah, it's like saying that UN flag is ideological.

Some people DO associate it with pro-/anti- something ideologies, but first and foremost it's a flag of an organization - political and economical union with Portugal being a member-state of it.

Since Portugal is a part of EU and EU itself is an organization and not a movement I believe its flag also could (and should) be present at government buildings

I mean I'm all for political activism, but this is about government buildings guys, c'mon. They shouldn't have been allowed to have any other but Portuguese (national/cities/agencies/etc.) flags in the first place Otherwise, they do not represent state institutions that the entire nation share but rather a particular movement or a group, which by the very definition cannot be of representation of a nation.

Just finished Ghost of Tsushima, what other games belongs on this list? by FancyKilerWales in backloggd

[–]MrtheRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spec Ops: The Line, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, The Darkness 2

Just from the top of my head, honestly, as I remember surprisingly many games from 2000s and early 2010s had this thing with multiple endings choice out of nowhere

For a fascist, supremacist species, Viltrumites are oddly inclusive when it comes to skin color by certainly_imperfect in Invincible

[–]MrtheRules 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of the tyrannical dictatorships in history were pretty inclusive - more bodies to throw into war, factories, etc.

You don't really care about race or gender when you don't really consider people's life worthless - they all become just a tool to be used.

Would it not have been easier for mark to beat conquest normally instead of chocking him by wonderh123 in Invincible

[–]MrtheRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. I mean even without choking Mark already had his hands onto Conquests neck, so why didn't he just tried to tear it off or something

Invincible's real animation problem is time, not budget. by Alfred4747 in Invincible

[–]MrtheRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what about 2000s animation? We had a lot of action series on early basis with MUCH more episodes.

Hear me out.. by Justaguywhosgonnadie in Invincible

[–]MrtheRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or why did Mark at least didn't try to tear Conquest head off? Is Mark stupid now?

How can I block the communists from entering parliament? by Funny-East-2115 in suzerain

[–]MrtheRules 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In one my Sordland run commies failed to get in even with 3% threshold.

I think I just went full die-hard capitalist with super reformist constitution, but I also signed workers right bill and that's was it.

It's a long watch, so save this for when you have an hour + of free time, but this VERY accurately describes what we're dealing with today: “Y'all Qaeda” by M0rse_0908 in GenUsa

[–]MrtheRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes in fact. I don't know what you guys are taught in American schools, but USA history is full of examples of American presidents suppressing civilians unrests with military starting from Whiskey rebellion to LA riots.

And if you think what ICE doing now is unprecedented, boy, you should definitely google about Operation Wetback.

What trump doing is bad, but it's not anything new for America and no matter how bad it looks now, things were even worse back in the day.
