Along with also saying that the game will definitely be propaganda, after having just regurgitated the “America did the majority of everything” propaganda line and almost certainly being unironic fans of Call of Duty

Surely now that they did this, and seemingly in the heat of the moment too if that story about the soldiers discovering the plan is true, they’ve completely burned this vector of attack, right? Like, surely any anti-western actors paying attention are never going to use devices from western countries or their puppets ever again because of this, and that shouldnt end up being a major problem since China is already at technological pairity or surpassing the west in this sector.

just vibin

Probably not objectively the worst movie I’ve seen, but Enemy at the Gates has been taken so literally by so many historically illiterate people that I’ve grown a burning hatred for the movie for basically slandering the entire Red Army and a few real people who were characters in the story. Kay and Skittles has a really good video on just how bad it is even beyond the “every other person gets a rifle” and “barrier troops gunning down retreating soldiers” shit.

Deleting all cookies from hexbear/chapochat was the fix iirc. I had to use an addon called EditThisCookie2 in order to do it properly though

The Americans was really good. I’ve been working my way through Babylon Berlin which has been very good so far.

I’ve really enjoyed Divinity Original Sin 2. The combat is really engaging, especially with a lot of the creative class mods on the workshop. I’ve heard great things about Baldur’s Gate 3, but unfortunately I don’t have the hardware for it yet.

Barbara pit would be too kind for these monsters

Brainworm guy for cia director??? lmfao, combined with that other list of potential cabinet choices, it sounds like trump’s admin would be hilariously dysfunctional

Fair point. He’s my problematic fav I guess because of his unhinged bullying of the worst people imaginable.

A lifetime bitch.

The tl;dr version is that by the 80’s the GDR was becoming aware that the marginalized status of queer people made them vulnerable targets for blackmail and exploitation by Western powers in what they termed the “political misuse of homosexuals”. A kind of goofy phrase, but it does capture the nature of the situation, as the legal and social status of queerness in the GDR meant that Western agents could force queer people to become informants or assets under the threat of forcibly outing them and ruining their lives (something that the West does everywhere I would imagine, the most salient example currently being how Zionists do this to Palestinians). The SED ordered the Stasi to develop a solution and they ended up proposing several. Many of them being the usual ramping up of surveillance (as at the time queer people were ironically organizing alongside the church), but one suggestion was to “find resolution[s] to homosexuals’ humanitarian problems.” And so they literally just did that, almost over night. They launched massive education campaigns, opened up state-run queer clubs in major cities, allowed personals for queer people to be run in newspapers, legalized queer marriage, allowed state-funded gender transitions, allowed queer people to adopt. This all happened around 1985 or so, which meant that for a brief period the GDR was (legally) the most progressive place in the world on queer issues. Culture obviously lags behind considerably, so it was no paradise, but there was a significant effort by the government to combat that with education about queerness for the wider public. Unfortunately, pretty much all of this was swept away when the GDR was basically annexed by the FRG, and modern Germany still, almost 40 years later, has not come close to what the GDR offered to queer people.

Living on the same planet as America must be like trying to have a nice meal in the vicinity of someone experiencing hyper roid rage.

Is this implying you’re not from Earth? If so, get me the fuck out of here please

Desperately, relentlessly shouting at the remaining AES states to learn the lessons the GDR did in it’s final years

Endorsement of genocide aside, seems like every institution in this shit hole is trying really hard lately to make sure the next pandemic (or the current one ) is as deadly as possible
