I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.
Anyone calling out his mental decline in 2020 was accused of being a Russian bot and that whole discourse was silenced outside of places like this.

It's closely related to "always the same map," but essentially the anglospehere and western europe primarily, fake korea and japan can be included depending on the context.
Yeah it’s not an inherently fascist take to want a game that simulates running a country to allow a fascist play through to be viable. The people that complain about the fascist power level and real fascists are mostly the same, but not by definition.
There was probably some rationale where actually vaccinating people would have meant involving other departments or some shit and they didn’t want to risk blowing their op.

I've been fortunate enough to have seen my material conditions improve as I've entered my mid-thirties which has let me start a family and buy a home. I've also watched my incredibly talented and hard working friends/acquaintances/neighbours be ground into dust under the cruel rule of capitalism. I got lucky, they didn't, this has radicalized me far more than any naive idealism ever could.
Criticizing this article isn’t the same as supporting Russia lol.
