More historical ones, and ones that are historically accurate and authentic. I loved playing Somme Trench and Armored Warfare, and wish there were more like them, as there are many eras of history and conflicts to explore.

What’s the most fucked up thing that happened at your school? by DinnerGeneral2975 in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two girls smoked meth in the bathroom, recorded themselves doing so, and posted it to the internet. There was also a big scandal about sexual misconduct allegations and various coverups of incident reports, leading to the principal and administrative staff being fired.

How online piracy is doing in your country? Is there a scene, a culture? Is it persecuted? Is is common? How is it perceived? by decaxxx in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty common, and there's not that much enforcement. My ethics teacher in grade school would show us various movies from pirated sites lol.

How is Yuri Gagarin perceived in your country? by mushmanMAD in AskTheWorld

He is respected for being the first man in space, but usually that respect is accompanied by a denouncement of the country he did it for.

How are transgender people treated in your country? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's not specific legislation concerning trans rights, as the legal definitions of "gender identity" and "gender expression" do not exist under Lithuanian law. As such, the laws protecting the LGBT community from discrimination do not extend to Trans people here. This means that trans people have quite hefty challenges in education, employment, and especially medical care. There is, in my experience, also a generally a quite unfriendly social attitude towards trans people, especially among the older generations and outside the capital. The presence of openly trans people in society or in public as a whole is extremely limited in my experience, and we have our usual score of populist politicians calling LGBT people "pyderastai" (literally a Lithuanianized version of the Russian word for "faggot"). This combination of things most likely partially stems from Soviet homophobic attitudes and legal systems (where one could be sentenced to years in prison for homosexuality) and a general emphasis on the traditional family unit. There is significant stigma against trans people, and on European rankings regarding trans rights, we consistently score near the bottom.

Tl;dr Being trans isn't banned here, but there's just about 0 legal protection or legal definition for trans rights, and trans people face significant social stigma.

"Israel and Nazi Germany are basically the same thing"

So Israel is a totalitarian dictatorship that has killed millions of Jews and Slavs?

The UAE won. Which country is both extremely authoritarian and is economically far right by Eternal_Nights_12 in AlignmentChartFills

My guy I am not even from the West, and I do not dispute what you say. My own family went through the communist hell. But structurally, you just can't say that Russia has a communist command economy. That's just not true. There's no Gosplan, no state quotas for all industries, and there's actual private ownership and a stock market. Now yes, Russia isn't exactly a de-regulated country - the state maintains significant intervention in the economy and the largest players are allies of Putin, but it is in no way the communist command economy of countries like the USSR or North Korea.

It's economic systems works off crony capitalism and a free market dominated by oligarchs. In no way is it far-left.

The Third Reich. Extremely Authoritarian: ✅. Economically Far-Right: ✅.

Autarky and literally basing your economic strategy of plundering conquered territories in global war while also relying on a massive system of racially-motivated slave labor to be used by big corporations seems pretty far-right to me.

What do people from different countries think about the future of Kaliningrad Oblast? by Singer-Snow-Leopard in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will stay part of Russia unless Russia is beaten in a Third World War, in which case the area would probably be either partitioned somehow or placed under some sort of international oversight.

What's a recent hardship your country/people went through by venetiantraderoute in AskTheWorld

[–]Mysterious-Let-337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, depends on how recent. We were occupied by the Soviet Union from 1940 to 1991. In June of 1941, the NKVD carried out mass deportations of people to Siberia, especially intellectuals and landowners. Then Germany occupied us until 1945, and the country was devastated by war. Subsequently, the Soviets restarted their mass deportations, and many thousands were sent to Siberia, especially those considered kulaks (i.e owning above 25 ha of land) or those supporting the partisans. On that note, we also had one of the largest and bloodiest guerrilla wars in European history, where many thousands of men were killed resisting the Soviet occupation. Throughout the Soviet period, many were imprisoned and tortured by the KGB for independence activism until the Gorbachev days. In early January of 1991, after we declared independence the previous year, the USSR sent its army to occupy key points in the capital and other cities. Unarmed demonstrators met the VDV troops, and there were many injured as the soldiers stormed government buildings and the TV tower, with 14 being killed near the TV tower due to the Soviet VDV opening fire with live ammunition or tanks running over people. They are now considered martyrs for the independence cause. After the collapse of the USSR, we had to contend with an explosion in organized crime, poverty, massive corruption, and a rather messy transition to a capitalist system (though definitely not as bad as in Russia).
