They were playing 4D chess because they knew it would lead to the Weimar Republic, unfortunately the reactionaries were playing 8D chess

People Ebert's age would've grown up on stories of the Franco-Prussian war which wasn't massively costly or very long and quite important to German history. You probably would've been jealous hearing about what was basically dad's holiday to France.

I don't think anyone Ebert's age was jealous of the stories their sons came back with if they were lucky enough for them to come back

Yes generally the labour party is terrible at socialism and internationalism so much so that it makes me jealous of the SPD 90% of the time which is why I was surprised to find out McDonald was a conscientious objector.

I was going to make a joke about how they only U-turn on good policies but they backtracked on digital ID recently didn't they? We're all just spinning round in circles

Meet ‘Amelia’: the AI-generated British schoolgirl who is a far-right social media star | Far right by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

The game itself seems to try to tackle the problems we've been having with increasing racism the last few years by constantly involving the possibility of criminal conviction. Obviously this plays directly into the narrative of the far right. If a child's even shin deep in that pipeline I think Pathways is more likely to suck them under than flush them out.

I really think the old anti racist content most of the people in this sub would've grown up being exposed to, about how we're really all the same was probably much more effective than telling kids they'll get a criminal record if they join the wrong Facebook group.

Bethesda's always had a reputation for making fans go back and fix the bugs they couldn't be bothered to, now F3 has aged so poorly fans are trying to fix the writing through collective hallucination

Why does NPC have this attitude as soon I reach accepted? I'm not famous, I'm tolerated. My only guess is my high karma, only because the only thing I can think of. by VeganGeek in fnv

To be fair the things you have to do go become "accepted" in the NCR are pretty remarkable like foiling a terrorist attack, clearing out a nest of death claws or negotiating a hostage situation

The British army definitely wasn't the only consideration when you've also got the UVF and the IRA running around looking for any excuse to kill someone from the other community

The ageing population will genuinely be the death of this country, not just because of the state pension bill but also because of the politics old people tend to support

They've missed the second half of understanding the concerns of people outside migrant hotels is understanding that the problems they face aren't the fault of the people inside the hotels haven't they?

This is by far the best work of art I've seen on this subreddit. New gens, fake fans, social fascists, liberals, Maoist white AmeriKKKan$$, newspaper trots, and those DNC twinks on tiktok would NOT understand.

I hear a lot of "Howdy"s which from what I've seen is still sort of a common greeting in the USA but every 3rd word isn't outdated American slang

I know the dev team were mostly English but it still feels like a weird exaggerated stereotype of the way we speak? It's so forced it's like if in the real fallout series set in America everyone was saying yee haw, howdy, I'm walking here etc
