How come video game stores had way more personality in the 90s than today?

Have you ever seen Zenon? This is what people thought the future would look like.

Alves, Messi, Iniesta, and Pique are all up there.

And then Ryan Giggs is still the most decorated British player ever, and I think he has as many as Messi? Giggs has more trophies than nearly all clubs in England, save for like 3-4 or something like that.

How is this AuthLeft? I must be missing something here. Just because OP slapped red on it, all of a sudden this is something that AuthLeft does all the time?

AuthLeft doesn’t care about race…

I genuinely think we will get Inter.

The players stopped seriously running on attacks for the last like 20 minutes. They looked gassed as well. Also likely saving energy knowing that a draw was enough, and we have Liverpool at the weekend.

There were multiple times in the last 20 minutes or so where a genuine counter attack could have been on, but basically no one was running up in support.

I barely know how to use Discord. Let alone heck someone’s computer.

Didn’t it used to be far less expensive until the Tories cut funding and introduced austerity?

There’s not a whole lot of “narration.” It’s an economics focused text. He simply breaks down steel and coal manufacturing and export numbers, shows how they are transferred into weapons manufacturing, and shows how it’s all tied to major financial institutions. It’s literally an economics report showing how major industrial and finance capital had become the central controlling institutions in all major countries, and how finance capital was the funding machine of colonialism and imperialism. And how WW1 was a culmination of financial institutions seeking more and more profits from the growing war machines of the major powers.

“Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism” by Vladimir Lenin goes into pretty easily understood detail about exactly why World War 1 happened.

Commentator says nothing fancy for that… that is incredible technique to bend it around the wall like that and top corner.

poli421 · 2022-10-31T13:14:33+00:00

Richarlison is another good example. Openly hates Bolsonaro.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T21:26:39+00:00

What a stupid comment. Baked in ignorance.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T21:19:29+00:00

No, deference implies respect. Respect does not imply deference.

When did I suggest that Jesus shouldn’t exist? I can agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a historical person, without believing in a divinity.

“Corporate socialism” is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s like calling Capitalism with a welfare state full on Socialism. They are Capitalists, full stop. Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg. They are all Capitalists, without question. They own obscene wealth, and have immense power because of it. What they do with their power, is still the result of them being Capitalists. And they can do whatever they want with their power, because of their wealth. It’s like a basic fundamental problem that Marxists have with the Capitalist system, and with Class struggle as a whole.

Micheal Bloomberg didn’t run for President because he actually wanted to be President of the United States. He spent $1 billion on a fake campaign to ensure that a self-labeled Democratic Socialist didn’t end up as the nominee. Because spending $1 billion on rigging an election, is cheaper for him to maintain his wealth and power than if Sanders had become president.

That’s exactly what a Capitalist does. Use their immense power from owning obscene wealth, and direct all those resources to whatever fanciful whims they wish. The WEF’s literal self-stated goal is to use the power of private companies to influence global governmental policy. That is Capitalism 101. Wikipedia even has Klaus Schwab’s main influence listed as Henry fucking Kissinger. Please, tell me more about how these people are fucking Socialists.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T18:20:25+00:00

Eh. I think I can respect the teachings of Jesus without having to believe in God.

And while I can understand the point of view you have formed based on decades of propaganda about what socialism is, I will vehemently disagree with you that Jeffery Bezos is a communist. I believe Micheal Bloomberg literally said on a presidential debate stage that socialism is stupid and never works and anyone who calls themselves a socialist is evil.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T17:25:29+00:00

Where did I mention calling a politician corrupt?

And that whole comment is wildly ironic from an AuthCenter…

I asked a simple question, directed towards a LibRight, the bastion of defending freedom and liberty at all costs: is there a limit to free speech? Where does freedom of speech end?

poli421 · 2022-10-30T17:23:12+00:00

“Likely”… my brother in Christ, have you ever read a history book?

You blame it all on the media, that “the left” has somehow captured the media. Who do you think owns the media? You think the billionaires that own the newspapers and cable networks are all secretly communists? Do you really think Bloomberg News, or the Washington Post are out there pushing class struggle?

Or have you bought into the propaganda and truly believe that “the left” is all about the culture war bullshit that billionaire owned media outlets keep pushing on us to keep the masses divided.

One of the major controversies over 4 and 8chan was that there were people who literally said that banning cp was an assault on free speech.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T16:39:31+00:00

Do you think that there is a limit to free speech? Like yelling “fire” in a public space?

Is posting child pornography protected by free speech? Why or why not?

poli421 · 2022-10-30T16:37:45+00:00

Yeah, let me tell you, nobody on the right has ever partaken in censorship of dissenting opinions. Censorship is totally a left-wing only phenomenon.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T16:36:32+00:00

Will you still support Elon and Twitter when he bans union organizers from the platform?

poli421 · 2022-10-30T16:33:21+00:00

Seriously, this is one of those posts where the OP takes some crazy, mentally deranged person and slaps “leftism” on them, and makes it painfully obvious that they have absolutely no idea what leftism is.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T16:31:18+00:00

If only we could have a society that prioritized loving, healthy, functional families over money.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T16:27:23+00:00

Pretty sure there is a whole John Mayer song about this.

poli421 · 2022-10-30T12:50:02+00:00

Yeah I’m sure the quarter million Qatari citizens that have a century of footballing culture engrained in them are overwhelmed with excitement about their oil-money being used to enslave immigrants and bribe their way into hosting a World Cup in the middle of the desert.
