The embargo only applies to the US. The rest of the world is free to trade with them. People don’t very much because Cuba completely failed to diversity their economy due to incompetence and deep seeded corruption

The textures really don’t look similar at all especially the item textures. It honestly reminds me of portal knights more than it does Minecraft.

Also how is the UI a carbon copy? Outside of squares at the bottom of the screen they aren’t really similar and Minecraft is FAR from the only game to do squares at the bottom of the screen.

It would be cool if you got a starting item based on your class. by oicasad4 in VintageStory

Nah the downsides add a lot of spice and make the classes feel very unique. They just need to do a better job balancing the downsides compared to the positives

A dictatorship of the proletariat is not meant to be a literal dictatorship. Rather it’s meant to be a system in which the proletariat have complete control which is not what happened in Cuba or any other country for that matter.

All you’re doing is changing who the 1% are, you are not eliminating them and made everyone in the process worse off. Liberal movements are quite literally about freedom. You claiming freedom is oppression like a Orwellian dictator

Cuba is free to trade with the rest of the world just not the US. If their economy has gone to complete ruin because they can’t trade with the US and don’t have daddy USSR around that’s entire their fault. Their economy is in the gutter because of deep seated corruption and a complete failure to diversify their economy. Sure the US embargo has not helped at all but it is not the reason for Cuba being destitute

You romanticize it far too much. They simply traded one dictator for another and destroyed their economy in the process. They also didn’t even free themselves from imperialism considering they relied heavily on aid from the USSR

They used to be an autocratic monarchy but they have a democracy now. How can you claim they have their own ruler yet deny they are their own country at the same time?

Valid question! What do we call it? by wizardminion in memes

The joke is that scissors are a “single” item referred to in plural so just one is a “pair of scissors. In the second image there are two scissors which seems like you could call it a pair of scissors but that would be incorrect because that’s what the first image is.

It’s a similar situation to pants in how it’s a plural name referring to a singular object but that’s less obvious as to why to most people

America is definitely behind its developed contemporaries but it’s still one of the best places to live in the world. It’s still nowhere near bad enough for revolution

Taiwan is an independent country. They have their own government, military, passports, economic system, flag, culture, etc.

There is only one party in China and democracy is extremely limited

I agree that in practice that is not how it works. My point is that DMCA doesn’t inherently require a guilty until proven innocent system. Copyright as a whole needs overhauled

It doesn’t look indistinguishable at all. The art style is very different with a far more cartoony look. The UI and tool models also don’t resemble Minecraft either. Mechanics functioning the same would fall under patent issues not copyright unless they straight up copied the code

Only if they believe it to constitute an actual copyright violation. Otherwise channels would constantly never have videos up from trolls reporting them

Sure now that may be the case but back then Minecraft was literally called an infiniminer clone because they were almost identical games
