Here's a reply on this same post where I do just that. My problem isn't "communists don't do propaganda" that's silly. My problem is calling out ideological use of propaganda without also mentioning liberal propaganda, the one we are immersed in so completely.

Shoulda read more than the very first comment before commenting on what I was and wasn't doing. :)

Hey bit biter, that's my line.

Also, it's just fun to point out when people mention propaganda with "fascists and communists" as if doing propaganda is an evil manipulation of the public but fails to mention the most successful ideology to use propaganda, liberals.

Wait until this guy finds out about the entire USSR film industry.

You ever seen Stalker? Good movie.

The state of this sad world butthurt me. Do you not have a passion? Taking pride in your lack of emotion? What a weird flex

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Who said that? Communist propaganda has a big history in film. USSR had a huge film industry and artists tend to be leftist.

Howmstever, it's funny to call it propaganda, a typically derogatory term but I'm gonna say your not the kinda guy who would recognize propaganda as such if it belongs to things you consider "regular"

That's the point I was making. Would you like it explained again?

That's a lot of opinion for someone who doesn't know what's going on.

"not how it works in Germany" we ain't talking laws, we talking morality. We are talking how things should be. Laws are irrelevant to morality and if that's your argument then you are lost.

Armed gang of men show up to a peaceful protest to commit violence and are surprised when they are retaliated against. Gtfo

Saying we don't agree doesn't justify holding a morally abhorrent position. Just means you're done trying to have a good reason. You opened this whole convo with "someone tell me who's right in this" and I did and all you did was justify a genocide you said you knew nothing about.

You can't "not agree" you have no opinion with any basis. You defaulted to the genociders side for some ungodforsaken reason and took a stand there while also self proclaiming your ignorance.

You asked for an explanation. You got one. And yet somehow with literally everyone who replied to you telling you what the fuck is up you somehow still went from no opinion to "fuck it, I'm actually pro genocide at this point. No half measures"

Go fuck yourself

It's not an insult to compare a genocide to a genocide. It's a genocide. An extermination. The point is to put that weight of history on you. If you cannot bring yourself to see the wholesale slaughter of a people as the same due to who those people are and who's committing it, that's a issue.

Brother in Christ, do you want to just be pro genocide at that rate? No reason to stop the Holocaust now, it's basically over, might as well let them finish? Is that the actual position you want to take

 
 

We were streaming a lil "end of the year awards" and toast walked in. She is not supposed to be upstairs so ran the moment she saw we noticed her. https://www.twitch.tv/smilingsolaris

 

I added the trait BUT STILL! Settled in Trout's Mistake Forest and on spawn there is a RANDOMLY GENERATED WILD MAN NAMED TROUT. He is in the colony now. You can come revel in his mistakes on stream as well. https://www.twitch.tv/smilingsolaris

So I want to say that I have tried to get into FFXIV many many times over a few years. I always got bounced off by how dense the dialogue is and how long it was taking to get anywhere and anything done. I would quit and come back in a few months to try again at my friends behest. The amount of times I've had to stop and google a new word the dialogue said. lol.

But I didn't want to start skipping dialogue and cutscenes and whatnot cause then what am I even playing for? So I took my time, played when I wanted and slowly made it through ARR over the course of 2 years.

And by god was it worth it. By the end I felt I really understood this world, and its people and politics. I started seeing callbacks, referencing previous quests that I had just almost forgot about. I cried when the thing that would be spoilers to talk about happened at the end of ARR. I have become attached to my grand companies and my city.

My wife plays too but they got socially anxious about all the dungeons so now they spend all their time in the golden saucer running fates. I love that they are around.

The community on Farie as well has been amazing. I have not a single bad experience. I play tank for the record and come from WoW so when I fucked up I expected straight vitriol. But never once did I ever experience any kinda toxicity whatsoever. One time I was fiddling with my settings before a dungeon labeled (hard) and accidently left battle effects on full. I load into the dungeon and my eyes glaze over with the amount of stuff flying around the screen so i ask the crew to stop and let me turn it down. They do but the healer immediately just leaves the party. The other two commiserated with me and stuck around waiting for the replacement rather than abandoning the party as well. And the new healer was cool! fun guy in the chat!

I just wanted to share this with yall. It's the best MMO experience I've ever had and I cant wait to actually be doing the MMO stuff I love like hard AF raids and endgame stuff. But i will not rush the expansions. I will continue taking it at the pace that i feel comfortable with and only hope i outpace the release of new content. I'll catch up eventually.

 

This was in Lemmy world politics.
