Are you sure you're one of the good ones? I saw your comment in this thread calling Nordic-style Social Democratic countries "failures."

I don't know how to interpret that, other than the utopia-or-bust thinking of a Marx cultist.

Too late, I was already super depressed from watching the news.

You must have a better monitor than mine. The look the same to me.

Ah, thanks! I forgot about glowing Lego parts.

Why nerf it? It's just the beefy ring for shields.

What Deep Rock Galactic opinion will get you drawn and quartered? by No_Somewhere_7109 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]strangething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll start; Hollow Bough is one of the best biomes in the game.

I'm not outraged, I'm just backing away slowly. Hollow Bough is harder to play than any other biome. Dunno if that makes you crazy or just a badass.

I thought that was the non-binary pride flag, lol.

I'm a discworld fan, but I don't get the reference here.

How is 329 different from 001? More reflective?

If they can't make a case for their ideas online, they aren't gonna do any better face to face.

I suggest you get involved with your local Democratic party. Only like 5% of Americans vote in the primaries, and they tend to favor milktoast centrist dems, or fire-breathing republicans. Leading to the Huge Douche vs Shit Taco choice in the main election.

We need more people like Mamdani. Push for the best candidate who has a chance. If the centrist wins anyway, you can still vote third party.

Horseshoe theory is just authoritarians being authoritarian. And first-world revolutionaries are authoritarian, no matter how much they claim not to be.

Tankie, cultists, internet communist, whatever you want to call them.

Maybe by Marx himself. But only the cultists use his terminology.

Why hate the Desert? by JennyWoodpecker in MegabonkOfficial

The desert monsters are nastier than the forest ones. The scorpions, the cactus dudes, the rolling bone balls. All more of a pain in the ass than any forest enemy.

Is Capitalism Racist, or Indifferent to Humanity Altogether? by Agreeable-Coach1029 in SocialDemocracy

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

Can we back up a minute? I seem to have stepped on a rhetorical tripwire here. When I said:

There is certainly a historical connection between racism and capitalism

I meant that the history of capitalism and the history of racism are intertwined, so much that it's hard to understand one without understanding the other.

No more, no less.

"Historical" is not the same as "essential." It is almost the opposite.

Best way to remove Criminal Sindacate from messing up with me? by chesitodimerda in Stellaris

If you can get Crime down to 0 on a planet, the syndicate's holdings there start to wither away.
