Don’t believe in Russiagate but he was definitely cosier with Putin than other US presidents. It would have been interesting to see how he would have handled this “dilemma”. My guess is he would have had no choice but to support Ukraine and alienate Putin. No way he would have been allowed to impede this war.

Erosion of democracy under BJP has been cranked up to 11 but I feel like saying that India is not a democracy anymore ignores that India since independence has not been very democratic to begin with. Political power was then concentrated in the hands of high caste Hindus, the wealthy, the landowners, etc. and it’s the same now except worse.

The reason I bring this up is because it is important to understand how we ended up in this genocidal cesspit and harbouring delusions about a bygone “democracy” gets in the way of that. Every political and economic step taken since independence is what brings us to where we are now:

• Congress’ failed dirigistic setup under Nehru where the Indian capitalist class was protected against foreign competition to a ridiculous extent. Indian capitalists’ wealth was incubated at the cost of the Indian proletariat while the country was running deficit after deficit.
• Opening up of the economy to foreign investment by Congress under IMF auspices. It lead to an increase in total wealth but the level of inequality it created was insane.

This is how the country slid in fascism. The common denominator in all these eras is that the working people get shafted hard. The numbers for malnutrition and unemployment/underemployment have been shameful throughout. This is also why the clowns in the INDIA alliance have no answer to BJP. People like them are what created this mess in the first place.

The common thread between all these “adult in the room” detractors of communism is that they have never bothered to read Marx.

Who’s the guy on the right? (Our right.)

G20 leaders have failed to condemn

Real “I’m not owned” energy

They don’t cite any sources because they are not a journalistic outlet

Very weird how you are “bantering” about this like it’s a sports game

The problem with DU is the contamination of the environment with heavy metal.

They are being centrally planned but from Washington

Yeah it’s just this strange urge I feel to talk about it because of how hyped it was, how good the reviews were and on the flipside how mediocre the game actually feels.

Just gonna reiterate: Do not talk to them. Block them if they try to talk to you. Good luck.

Russiagate has always been copium for Western liberals who cannot accept the fact reactionary tendencies are weaved into the fabric of their culture and institutions so they tell themselves fabrications like how their redneck racist uncle voted for Trump and is anti-abortion because Putin seductively whispered some sorcery to them. In truth Russia’s propaganda is not very effectual

• In 2017 before RT was shut down in the UK, it accounted for 0.04 percent of the UK’s total TV audience.[1]
• A New York University study published earlier this year found that the supposed Russian Twitter influence campaign ahead of the 2016 election which dominated headlines for years had had “no measurable impact in changing minds or influencing voter behavior”.[2]
• An earlier study found that suspected Russian accounts showing up in Facebook’s news feed during that time amounted to “approximately 1 out of 23,000 pieces of content.”[3]
• A study by Adelaide University found that despite headline after headline warning us about a massive wave of Russian bots manipulating online discourse after the invasion of Ukraine began last year, the overwhelming majority of fake accounts they examined (more than 90 percent) were pro-Ukraine accounts.[4]

I am not sure if you are making fun of me which I don’t mind but it took me a long time to figure out because it clearly looked like the ship was moving and I wasn’t sure if the celestial body was really far away or just not coming closer to me at all.

The bigger point is that the USA is pretty much the technological leader of the world and a frontrunner in information warfare. All the major social media companies have to have close ties with the US state department to be able to function at the scale at which they do. So why is it that Russo-Chinese bots and shills are running circles around Americans?

You don’t like the wholesome British Elon Musk trillionaire CEO funding your space exploits?

Beginning to think that Americans on social media are feeble minded babies with no agency of their own swayed in whichever direction foreign shills and bots want to take them in.

What makes Morrowind good? It is a bit dated but I wanna try playing it someday.

Disco Elysium also had a lot of work done post initial release. I consider myself incredibly blessed that I only paid attention to it after the Final Cut was out. The voice acting is stellar.
