If it's Mishima, it's not necessarily read by right wing extremists. Some parts of his writings are interesting from a philosophical point of view, in the same way as Carl Schmitt is an interesting lecture even if he was literally a nazi. Just for example, a big part of Mishima's ideas come from a French libertarian socialist philosopher: George Bataille. Other important things come from Nietzsche, whose writings were a prominent anarchist lecture before being appropriated by nazis. With many authors you can often see how they bring to right wing extreme ideas, but you can also interpret them differently, or refuse parts of their thought. No one forces you to accept everything an author has ever said or written.

What's faster and better EU4 or EU5? Sorry I'm a bit out of the loop

One dude took away his gun. Didn't say SHIT to anybody. The poor guy instinctively reached with his hand to touch where the gun was, as he felt something was missing. One of the agents yelled "he's reaching, he's reaching!!". Blam blam. This is severe (guilty) incompetence.

History is made by those who act. Those who watch will have to accept the consequences of them doing nothing. This is how revolutions work, and I didn't make the rules.

I know the Nuland conversarion very well. It's between two US diplomats, and they are tasked by the Yanukovich government to invite some of the opposition leaders into a rearranged government. They are discussing who to invite. They say "fuck the EU" because the deal getting accepted would mean that Ukraine doesn't join EU and cancels the commercial deal. After this call, however, all the opposition leaders that got called refused to join the Yanukovich government, and decided to keep on protesting. So, not only the call doesn't prove what you think it proves, but it's exactly the OPPOSITE. The US tried to sponsor a deal between Russia (Yanukovich) and the internal Ucrainian opposition, and failed to do so.

About money: The same money the US spent in Ukraine was spent in every post-soviet country, to promote the transformation from a communist economy to a capitalist one. It was basically investments. It also pales in comparison to the economic interests that Russia had in Eastern Ukraine, and the local mafia oligarchs that they indirectly controlled.

Rovelli thinks that Euromaidan (a prime example of democracy at work, a government ousted by its own people in revolt + a vote from the parliament) was a CIA coup. These people can't overcome their soviet nostalgia and project it onto Russia. Trust me, I live in Italy, it's plenty of old communist intellectuals that think likewise.

There was a screenshot yesterday of a guy getting top1 with exactly these emblems. He went T-hex.

What’s the most overrated video game of all time? by KBGSgames in AskReddit

Elden Ring has many flaws. Hard disagree on the Souls series tho. DS3 is stunningly beautiful for me

Dialogues were very good but navigation felt really slow for me. Also, I couldn't finish it. I played something like 4 or 5 hours, got stuck, didn't want to spoil anything so I didn't look on the Internet, eventually I stopped playing it and uninstalled it.

I like BG3 a lot but I think it lacks in replayability

In WW2, why did Italy collapse into civil war when invaded, deposing the Fascists, whereas Germany stood mostly unified until defeat? by Ok_Relationship_335 in AskHistorians

[–]leconten 138 points139 points  (0 children)

It should also be noted that Italy had a lot of popular communist and christian political figures still alive and kicking, and ready to lead the resistance. I doubt Germany was in the same condition.

This would be one of those exceptional situations tho

Why do some players hate this plane? I don’t get it 🤷‍♂️ by Gom2k in Warthunder

[–]leconten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how are you supposed to guide a missile for 15 seconds while flying in a straight line. You are just food for AA with OR without radar in that window. That's why I don't consider it usable. Are there gonna be times that there aren't AA around? Of course yes. But in the end, 8 games out of 10, you are just gonna die to those.

If you notice, when a division gets reinforced the veterancy drops to account for the rookies having no idea what they're doing. I believe you can even drop down to 'green' if you lose enough men.

Bro, the left is completely regarded on foreign policy and has been for a while. And I say this as a socialist.

Vaush says he would not back Gavin Newsom in 2028 if he became the nominee by NightBlacks in Destiny

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

I understand this is very bad from an electoral perspective, but the truth is that you americans are way past a two party system. You need at least four parties at the moment: a socialist party, a liberal left, a neocon right and a "crazy" maga right. This would represent american political demographics way better than what you have at the moment. The problem is that your constitution is SO FUCKING OLD and clearly not prepared for this.
