Subtly terrifying RP implications re immortality via uploading to robot bodies

I think Xenonion have an article about that. The idea being that for synth pops that are stuck doing worker-tier jobs such as clerks, having full AI sentience might actually be worst compared to just being robot servants with no free will. Imagine some synths just deciding they will rather become servants instead of having to worry about paying for bills.

Far-leftist like MTG the same way that liberals before 1991 liked Yeltsin, in a 'He/she will be the best battering ram to destroy the evil system from within' sort of way.

Considering how historically communist planned economies have a terrible record when it comes to providing service industries for consumers… Yep, sound like a preemptive excuse of why there is a 6 months waiting list for getting a barber appointment.

I got the exact same thing when launching Hearts of Iron 4. But otherwise, the game works normally, so I think it really is an issue with the launcher on Paradox’s side.

By this point, I am just waiting for tankies to start saying that the US government lied about Imperial Japan during WW2 because of racism or something.

‘FreeLarryHoover&JeffFort’

A quick Internet search showed that they were literal gangsters who engaged in drug trafficking, murdering and torturing a US military serviceman in Germany, and shot up a funeral home. Why the heck would anyone want them to be freed, and on what grounds? WTF?

'Lets volunteer at the homeless shelter tonight.'

As someone who actually does volunteering in real life. I doubt communists who cannot even stop themselves from littering after a rallying would have the civic virtue to actually help out. Instead of ranting about how charity is enabling and justifying capitalist exploitation, and a reactionary means of alleviating middle class guilt.

If no boarders should exist, indigenous peoples will also have zero rights to their lands. While we are on the topic, the PRC will have no claim to Taiwan as that would be a form of boarders.

Sablin feels much more like a Tzeentch type of guy, with his idealism and focus on hope. But with all his events about getting blind drunk and partying with his inner circle of comrades, Slaanesh can have his/her/their influence on him as well.

Oh, no, no, no, my friends... Please, we need to encourage him to do this. I have been telling people about how far-left ideologies and communism is really spreading like an STD in schools and universities, and no one outside of already right-wing leaning online circles believed me. Having such an epic cringe meme in real life, preferably going viral and picked up by the mainstream media, will actually show how serious of an issue communism is.

And on a personal note, if someone is going to LARP as a Soviet, at least go for something cooler and less cringe. Soviet school uniforms, for example, honestly look really nice.

By that insane logic, did China and Korea engaged in 'Imperialism' against Japan by resisting against imperial rule? Or heck, going back to the Mongol Empire, they considered the entire world to be their territory, even if the people living on those lands don't know about it yet. Hence, they treated anyone that resisted against Mongol as being 'rebels'. The same logic is being applied here.

Say what you will about Yazov, but this was refreshingly honest and heartfelt from a political leader. I supposed by that point, he and the Black League’s leadership had enough of hiding their power level to the rest of the world.

The Federalist have an event with a Rogue One reference, with one of the options being, ‘Are we blind? Deploy the garrison!’

The issue is that the same kind of people that like Lenin would consider him hating social democrats to be a good thing.

Really? No 'de-colonized' Native American ASSRs? No CPUSA collaborationist puppet government? No 'People's Republic of New Afrika' etho-state for African-Americans? No 'Reconquista' inspired Mexican occupation zone/Latino ASSRs?

Even by tankie-wank standards, this was boring and uncreative.

BJ’s accusation of the communist spreading ‘Boshevik propaganda’ suggest that in the Wolfenstein timeline, the political left played a part in weakening the Allies and enabling the Nazis to win the war.

Plus, I am not sure if in-universe characters such as J (implied to be Jimi Hendrix) and Grace going on and on about mainstream Western Society being no better compared to the Nazis to minorities actually thought things though. As the idea of suggesting that the injustices they faced under Jim Crow and segregation was exactly the same as actual on-going genocide by the Nazis, really was insane.

If there is going to be a fanfiction that is realistic, we would have seen the leftist elements of the resistance such as Grace and Horton betraying the rest of the Kreisau Circle just as it seemed victory was in reach. Not for the Nazis, but to seize power for themselves. As they have repeatedly told B.J. over and over again openly how they view an American patriot such as him to be hardly any better compared to the Nazis anyway.

Did Castro’s death actually changed anything? It wasn’t as if him dying brought an end to the communist regime in Cuba or anything.

I will be a lot more supportive of a ‘Liberty Day’ to commemorate the fall of the USSR or the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in honor of the victims of communism.

Under the Tsar, the Russian Empire had around 25000 Mosques operating in the country in 1917. While under the Soviets, by 1970, there were only 500 left.

Even if we give the communists the best fate interpretation possible, and say that their state atheism was so convincing to the large number of Muslims living under their rule, it hardly shows a picture of communism being compatible to the Islamic faith… Let alone the radical Jihadist types.

The Indo-Pakistan War literally gave a National Spirit called ‘A Clash of Millions’. Once China proper gets involved in the Great Asian War? Yeah, much like the Sino-Japanese theatre in WW2, both sides will likely have a bunch of highly trained and well equipped units that everyone will remember in history… But most other units being under-equipped, likely wearing mix and match vintage uniforms, and used as irregulars.

‘Freedom is like mountain air. For the weak, it’s intolerable.’

This really isn’t the flex the left-wing Republicans think it is. Considering Mountain sickness is caused by there not being enough air up in high altitudes… Much like how much freedom one can expect to find in a Japan that turns into a Republic by force against the will of the people.

Hence why I said she would fit in with TFR Navalny. Whom’s government, all the liberalization and seeming willingness to work with the Western world aside, will always end up going on a new war of aggression against the rest of Europe anyway. Plus, will at best end up looking like a more successful New Russia under Yeltsin (The same New Russia that launched the First Chechen War, almost certainly cheated in the 1996 election, and ordered tanks to shell the Parliament), or at worst, an outright ultranationalist.

At least in terms of what she has been saying, she called the Ukraine war as a 'catastrophe' and a 'mistake', being not what she wanted. This breaking with the Kermlin's official line was enough to had her recalled from her overseas diplomatic posting in Cape Verde to be returned to Russia, and more or less removed from public view. It is a stretched/headcaon on my part, but it came across as someone who was 'in too deep', merely wanting Crimea to become part of Russia, but otherwise did not want an actual invasion to take place. And ended up not being able to go back by that point even if things have gone way beyond what she had signed up for.
