I don't insist on continuing. I'm sticking to my word and leaving it there.

Before I too let the conversation die I just want to point out how much you devalue "political scare tactics" like they have no effect and can be basically ignored by its targets with no repercussions. I want you to think on that for a while. Figure out yourself why that is a self evidently silly thing to say when discussing how they redefined communist to mean traitor and how that means they actually didn't ban communism.

I bet your a real big fan of the children's game "I'm not touching you"

It's like burning down a house and asking what's the problem after the fire has gone out. Repercussions last a long time. The cultural changes produced go on for generations.

Anyways, none of that matters cause this is America. We just did the unconstitutional thing at the State level instead.

Please read and hit me with some more complaints. Maybe if I keep knocking them down you will eventually change your mind :)

Would it be? True it's not communist but also China doesn't claim to be. They claim it as an aspiration not as a current state of affairs. However we are random internet people. Are we really going to explain to every dumbass how China isn't communist, only a vanguard state hoping to evolve into one in the future according to the chain of events described in the communist manifesto?

No. Cause that's a waste of time. Being angry that all that context wasn't added is pedantic because we ain't operating with strict definitions that everyone agrees to. We are working with cultural vibe checks. And as far as culture is concerned, China is communist.

America overthrew the Australian government last time they did that. The balls remain firmly in place.

For all you folk who aren't big history nerds and didn't know that the US overthrew the government of AUSTRALIA, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional_crisis

It's really interesting

You can have disagreements within a single party. Like how in the US they banned communist parties because it didn't align with the capitalist ideals that all American parties are required to align with.

Maybe it's wider than where you would consider, however I would ask you why you are so willing to give fascists or people flirting with fascism a wide berth to do their fascism before you feel comfortable enough to call them on it.

My definitions and goal posts are pretty well set. It's not hard not to be called a fascist. Don't do fascist shit. Ez

[–] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They are fascists who are creating fake science and stealing identities to do it in order to justify their fascist plans to do more fascism. Yeah, it's fucking fascism

Hear me out. Maybe we consider the resources available directly rather than the made up paper system we have to abstract the concept of wealth. Aka, fuck money

 
 

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

 

Heyo, For anyone who want's I am streaming the Generations II modpack on twitch. That's where the dino hat came from, a T-Rex attacked the colony and surprisingly no one died (it was injured after munching on some more advanced visitors)

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.

Just like the bachelor to shove some Latin in the middle of important information.
