"I think colonialism gets a bad rap"
  • angrytoadnoises angrytoadnoises 2mo ago 100%

    This is a ridiculous quote but probably only to us. This is the ideology I was taught. We learned all about colonialism and its horrors in school, but the conclusion was never that colonialism was bad. The conclusion the kids reached based off the information provided, the take away the teachers wanted to leave, and of course our governments position boils down to - 'it sucked, but we wouldn't have our great amazing world now without it :^)'

    why are the cons resorting to the comrade harris thing, more than any other democrat I can remember they are leaning on this weird marxist angle where they make shit post tier commie posters of kamala

    this is going to be laughable on the face of it to any center leftie and the further left you go the more you're just creating a subconscious connection between kamala and communism that might even rouse a communist to give a shit just for the sick prop posters alone

    I guess it's just for the cons to share and updoot each other

  • Extremely specific game request thread. I love what I've come to call 'Semi-Idle' games. I work from home and am determined to act my wage so I like to have fun while on the clock. I'm not going to disregard work entirely but I want to play video games. So I leave a game running on my third monitor. Enter my need for a game that doesn't demand all of my attention, but is a little more hands-on than a screen saver with increasing numbers. A game where you are rewarded for letting things run, but it's not the entire point of the game. Some examples of what I consider 'Semi-Idle' with justifications: -**Project Zomboid**: Game incentivizes basically sitting around and passing the time. I like to loot in spurts and then leave my character eating/working out/reading while I work. -**Super WorldBox** Godsim sandbox. I can spend time setting up a world which I then let play out on its own, occasionally jumping in to disturb the peace. -**Fallout 76** Fallout 76 lets you set up a player-made camp where others can visit and buy from your stores. I find it enjoyable to leave it running and see who comes through. -**Sonic Adventure 1/2** I'll play a level or two and then idle in the chao garden, just taking in the vibes and watching my chao do what they do. Clicker games and other idle-genre giants aren't really my thing, but if you know of a clicker/idle game that might fit the description, feel free to recommend those, too.

    it's a weird premise for a political comic because like your average communist is just not going to participate in electoralism, you can figuratively drag them kicking and screaming and they're still not going to vote for you lol

    That's sad, man. He is so confident that everyone else shares his innate incuriosity towards one of the most ancient and prevalent forms of art/expression that humanity knows. Because he's so incurious and ambivalent towards reading he geniuenly doesn't understand the unique benefits of sitting down and directly engaging with something in a purely cognitive way. He thinks everyone is like him and, funnily enough, reading a bunch of non-fiction is the best way to get yourself out of that headspace.

    As an aside, and not breaking new ground here: this guy is intolerable to listen to? he has a really arrogant/smug personality that he can't stop from shining through. He has terrible camera presence and I think he's kind of embarrassing to listen to. How does he have a fan base?

    Was there really a game with a button that made Norman Reedus loudly slurp down a Monster(Tm) at the camera or did I imagine it?
  • angrytoadnoises angrytoadnoises 4mo ago 100%

    Yes! They patched it out of the directors cut, though. Personally I think much of the personality of the game was stripped away when we could no longer make Norman Reedus drink three full heart attack potions between each mission.

    we fully atomized now son, don't got no social spaces free of the ever present pressures of modern economic system. can't even sit down to play a game or read a book without wondering if you're wasting valuable money-making time.

    i have been keenly aware of how passionless and directionless i've been since i was a teenager. used to think I was just depressed but it took me a long time to realize the system is letting me down, and i shouldn't be expected to change my very human wants and needs to conform to the soul crushing market-driven system we're cursed in

    For All Mankind Renewed for Fifth Season, Soviet-Focused Spin Off 'Star City' Announced
    www.thewrap.com

    I really, really like For All Mankind. It's a good sci-fi show. It's not winning any awards for its depiction of the USSR, but it firmly puts the Russians in the antagonist seat, not necessarily the 'irredeemable evil' seat. FAM getting a spin off entirely focused on the Soviet's perspective during its alternate history is not something I ever expected to see. Considering that the latest season of FAM establishes the USSR outliving its real-life point of collapse, while retaining its communist values, I hope that this 'Star City' spin off is going to be an even more humanizing look at the Soviets.

    I've never talked about anything that could even be considered close to Marxism with that side of the family. This MF has a sixth sense or something. His previous book suggestion to me was 'How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization.' I don't have any purpose to sharing this. I just thought it was funny.

    For All Mankind: Accidentally Making Communism Seem Really Cool

    For All Mankind is an AppleTV original that shows an alternate history retelling of the space race. In this AU, the Soviets land on the moon first, which extends the space race into a decades-long conflict. The show currently covers about 30 years of alternate history showing the US and the Soviets establish a moon base, new propulsion systems, and eventually landing on Mars. This show is *really* good. It's excellent hard sci-fi. It really sticks out to me, though, for its depiction of the Soviets. See, in this universe, the Soviet Union doesn't collapse. At least not at the same time it collapsed in our own history. Instead, they stick around and consolidate significant power, winning victories they lost in our own timeline. This means that by the 90s, communism has essentially rooted itself as a dominant ideology in most of the world. Now, don't get me wrong: this show depicts the soviets as evil, with the KGB boogyman following every Russian character. But the show doesn't do a great job at depicting this. Instead, the Soviet Union ends up being an absolute economic powerhouse that consistently keeps up with the US at every turn, only starting to fall behind technologically for unclear reasons in the latest season. Hell, Mexico is communist in the FAM timeline. I think this is telling. If you construct a universe where the Soviets 'don't lose,' they end up winning. Half of the world is communist and it's gotten to the point where it seems internally inconsistent that the US is managing to keep up. I just wanted to post about one of my favorite TV shows. Anyone else watch FAM?
