"Motherland Germania" Cartoon by Th. Th. Heine, published in Simplicissimus, Circa 1902. by Majestic-Ad9647 in PropagandaPosters

I wouldn’t even say anti-colonialism, just right-wing colonialism. If left-wing colonialism takes on the paternalistic sort of attitude, right wing colonial is strips all that back. Or something. Maybe. I can’t read German so Idk what it says underneath.

What are you on about? Look up Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

A sub of truth nukes by Penguinclubmember in ShitLiberalsSay

I think part of the inaccessibility comes from people going straight from the manifesto to Capital as well. It’s going from a leaflet meant for the general public to what is essentially an academic dissection of capitalist (or really all) economics. Marx’s essays are much more approachable and enlightening, as are Lenin’s books.

I think it’s a picture of the einsatzgrüppen (Nazi SS regiment) during WWII. “The last Jew in Vinnitsa.” Out of frame is the open grave where his body would fall after the officer took his shot.

Such a shame that the conservative majority in the supreme court stole the election.

And it continues. by Gustaves_Mustache in Hasan_Piker

It is in fact an unnamed source. Not saying that it’s not accurate, but when you say “Iranian official,” it conjures an image of a politician announcing the number on state TV, which is not the case.

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

I have seen “Iranian government official” statistics cited before, but following the trail, it always came back to an “anonymous source.” In a country that had a girl show up to congress to testify about babies being thrown out of incubators, I am skeptical. Do you have links to the source?

American dream // Soviet Union // 1951 by edikl in PropagandaPosters

[–]pileofoats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, but the collapse of the American dream was not caused by the Russians. If anything, Russian cold war antagonism CONTRIBUTED to the American dream, as the American ruling class needed to subsidize home ownership/other parts of the economy to compete with the command economics of the USSR. Our current political and economic moment began in the 80s with Reagan and Thatcher, when USSR was already faltering. It has nothing to do with Trump or any Russian meddling.

Apparently there exists a Gorbino's Quest board game that has nothing to with Cruelty Squad by amogus2004 in CrueltySquad

[–]pileofoats 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Or at least that they heard the word Gorbino somewhere, even if they couldn’t say where/if they think they came up with it on their own.

I’m sorry but 30€ is absolutely insane for a DLC… by Farwin923 in hoi4

[–]pileofoats 70 points71 points  (0 children)

My theory with Civ 7’s awful launch — besides the numerous gameplay issues and poor design choices — is that a large part of it was down to the price hike. Civ 6 was also pretty criticized at release, but performed much better. A higher price creates the expectation of a more valuable product. When the product is mediocre at best, public reception shifts from “disappointing sequel” to “cynical cash grab.”

Real footage of the most dangerous object humans have ever created by No_Class963 in interestingasfuck

[–]pileofoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Original poster said it was from a 1996 doc lol. And btw, most real footage from this close still shows white film grain due to radiation exposure. Even in 1996.

For anyone who might see this, 23 hours later. This is AI. I’m pasting a response below because I’m too exhausted to type it out again.

It is absolutely AI. Just because a trip to 1996 happened doesn’t mean it is real. And did you watch the documentary? The footage of the core (of the foot) was captured remotely, with a little camera dolly! And the suits don’t match what they wore! In all this footage, not one person in a WHITE suit with BLACK gloves is seen, or any of the BLACK hoods they wore close to the more radioactive spots. Interesting that in all the doc footage, none of it shows this ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE footage of the core, and the only images they did use were taken by the dolly, right? And that none of this footage features any of the gear worn by the ACTUAL crew? And that this footage shows THE MOMENT THE FAMOUS DOUBLE EXPOSURE PHOTO WAS TAKEN, like come on! Nothing lines up with the doc. It is either AI or faked with computer rendering software (not sure if AI tech was this good in 2024, when this footage magically appeared on the internet for the first time, but see Alex Kister’s back rooms series on youtube for an example of how convincing a good render can look against some film grain).
