You wrote this, context is rather clear:

I blame him for turning Ukraine into his North Korea. I blame him for trapping people, who die trying to cross the border by mountains/rivers, or hide at homes afraid to leave. I blame him for kidnapping people from the streets and sending them to the meatgrinder (so, killing them).

I guess it’s probably as hard as let’s say getting a permit to travel to western country for a citizen of socialist Ukrainian SSR, but even if they were literally welded to place it would still be nowhere near as bad as in Ukraine where the main problem is not being unable to leave but getting kidnapped and thrown into artillery fire. Again not in the slightest similar thing.

The only thing mind bogging here is who the hell accepted USSF uniform design, it would be too embarrassing for C-class sci fi movie from 80’s

I mean they have a grand total of 3 borders of which one is shoot to kill zone, and while they have to get passport and probably visa too they can go to China and Russia, though the numbers aren’t that high afaik. This is the norm for cold war time in which they de facto still are thanks to the USA, and this is very far from what is currently happening in Ukraine, first and foremost there is no open war and they aren’t send up into the meat grinder.

Your mentions about North Korea are entirely baseless and fully in agreement with the likes like Zelensky and his US handlers.

Yes, a controlled dismantlement would be better than collapse, and proletarian revolution would be best, but currently there’s not much prospects for either of those, so:

“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” ― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court

Not in USA, they tested nuclear bombs on humans, in Japan and Bikini atoll.

but that in no justifies what China did.

Nice of you to support slavery and serfdom.

“Blinken said” is not an evidence. We all seen how much is his word worth when he blocked recognition of human rights violation in Palestine that would stop US weapon shipments. His mouth is a septic tank and people were hanged in Nuremburg for less.

I seen them once or twice? Not much overlap i guess. Yogthos on the other hand provided like half the content for entire lemmy before the reddit exodus.

First would be Yogthos, but i wouldn’t use the word “briefly” here

Third is definitely me. But i don’t think there could be any level of fondness for cats that could even be described as “excessive”

US: "Israel, did you do Horrifying’ Strike in Northern Gaza Kills Dozens?

Israel: “Yes, why do you ask?”

US: “Nvm, i’m gonna send you even more weapons”

8-10 mm lenght. There is at least one smaller frog species though and some fishes are in that sizes too, though weight much less.

Only 272 times? I sometimes listen to the same song for days.

There was also Doctor Bosconovitch in Tekken 3, age unknown but he looked around middle-late 70’s.

Idk what you precisely get as retro and how much level of aging you want, but:

• Ezio from Assassin Creed is in 3 games where he starts in his 20’s and at the end in 50’s.
• Geralt is around 94 in Witcher 3 and sure as hell sometimes behave like a cranky old man, topic of age also often came in talks especially with Vesemir.

Not protagonists but prominent characters:

• KotOR have Canderous Ordo who is at least 40 and Jolee Bindo who looks as he’s in his 60’s but might be older. Also Kreia in KotOR 2
• Mass Effect have: Zaeed - in 40’s and playing the part of old grizzled veteran, Liara - around 100 but as Asari barely an adult, Samara - 800 so entering old age for Asari, often mentions it, Thane 39, so while not particularly old for his species old for his job (assassin), Mordin - in his 30’s so very old for Salarian and this topic comes often, Wrex - over 1000 so ancient for a Krogan and plays part of the grumpy old man
• Planescape Toment, Dak’kon is old and that is mentioned. Protagonist of that game is also very old but due to amnesia and copious amounts of magic it’s not very relevant.
• Dynasty Warriors have some old playable characters like Zuo Ci, Huang Gai or Huang Zhong
• FF10 Auron is in 30’s but behave like he was much older

Can we start calling Amazon “AliExpress with American characteristics” now?

No, that would be a compliment.

Ever heard about Stepan Bandera? If let’s say Norwegians started to venerate Vidkun Quisling or French with Philippe Petain, similar comparisons would be immediate.

I see you still constantly talk about US, but don’t worry they won’t love you anyways, no matter how many Rorschach tests you fail for them. You should also drop the profascist youtube history and politics channels or whatever slop you’re ingesting to be like this, that amount of great man theory is really bad for your cognition.
