At what point are we going step back as a society and realize this shit is pathetic? I’m sure our rivals don’t need to use softcore porn to meet their recruiting targets. This is some real imperial decay shit right here.

US military has been failing to hit it’s recruitment targets for years now. Mostly because American young people are too fat/insane/depressed/addicted to drugs to pass the basic physical and mental requirements, and not because of based reasons. It’s like only 20% of that age range is potentially healthy enough to serve which is kind of insane. Hope we won’t need to fight a big war soon lol

Maybe they think they can trick horny teenagers into getting into shape and joining the military if they believe there is some hot gurl waiting for them. I doubt it.

9/11 was an occult ritual to destroy gender

ah yes, the famous twin towers of gender

I’ll go ahead and say it was worse in Stalin’s Russia

wow so brave. It was worse to live in a unindustrialized backwater that was recovering from invasion and civil war than it is to live 100 years later in a modern western service economy where your every want is catered to. Thank you liberalism for your insightful conclusions.

what we consider the foundations of modern liberalism (multiculturalism acceptance of gender and sexual minorities), is seen in Eastern Europe (specifically Russia/former USSR) as a controversial “western import”. It’s like the culture war in America, there are two different general cultural factions: westernizers and slavophiles. The disastrous economic changes the “westernizer” liberals brought to some parts of eastern Europe really soured their reputation. The Soviet Union and nostalgia for it are firmly culturally linked to the slavophiles, which are also consistently socially conservative on other issues (they are strongly tied to the Orthodox Church). In other eastern European countries like Poland the Catholic Church is still very dominant politically.

So I guess the answer to your question is that a lot of eastern Europeans are homophobic and racist because they think these ideas are just more western attempts to destroy their culture. People who are nostalgic for the Soviet Union tend to be anti-western for obvious reasons, and unfortunately cultural conditioning pushes them towards these backwards views.

part of that is that the whole faction is half-baked because it was rushed to release. Legion got the most cut from it, multiple towns beyond the Colorado were scrapped. And siding with the legion locks you out of a lot of other quests, so why bother?

Gorbachev wasn’t a full liberal he was a reformist and basically wanted social democracy. The liberal opposition that he at first championed with glastnost quickly outflanked him while the Soviet conservatives also hated him. His naivete and ineptitude destroyed the country by allowing liberal and nationalist forces (Yeltsin and his cronies) to tear the union apart from under his unsteady feet. The August coup was an attempt by the conservatives to force Gorbachev to fucking do something to save the country (several states had already declared independence at this point), but he couldn’t even be assed to take a side so the conservative had to try to throw together a new government overnight.

So he’s less of a sell out (that fits Yeltsin better) and more of a person who was just completely incapable of recognizing the situation and was overcome by more decisive forces.

gonna open an AroAce theatre where I fast forward through all of the romantic subplots to get to the good stuff and instantly cancel (worse than death) anyone who complains

Sorry for the inconvenience :ace-heart:

yes but also hella nationalist which sometimes conflicted with the genocidal goals of the Nazis. Nazi used them early on as useful idiots.

guard is great you get to be like those historically incorrect descriptions of the Soviet Union, sending unarmed masses to soak up the bullets with their cheap bodies while your commissars shoot everyone who even thinks of running away. Great fun.

while I think joining an org is worthwhile and you should try, everyone should also know that not every org is worth your time and energy. Many are just lib shit door knocking for the Democrats, but even some “hard communist” ones will just make you sell stupid newspapers on the corner to teenagers. These orgs make you feel used, exploited for free labor even. Also especially with the communist orgs you run a good chance of befriending a undercover police officer who will fuck with you and the org, often undercovers get into the leadership position because it’s literally their job to be there unlike everyone else. So make sure you feel like you are actually participating in something you feel is meaningful. Maybe look for mutual aid like food not bombs

just take Leningrad immediately but also “zurge rush” (lmao) Stalingrad at the same time. Like yeah okay I’m sure the Nazis (famous for Blitzkrieg not close combat) can handle two of the most intense urban warfare battles at once hundreds of kilometers apart without getting their ass owned.

taking Stalingrad wouldn’t even cut off the oil either the Soviets had made preparations to ship Caucasian oil across the Caspian Sea to Astrakhan to keep the military fueled. It would have been awfully inefficient logistically but they would have been able to do it.

that is the risk you take when you run the country as a tyrannical hereditary monarchy. Your whole family becomes a problem.

goddamn it why did the fucking Europeans have to find the Incas when they were in the middle of a civil war such awful timing. I hate this person for reminding me of this tragedy because the Inca Empire was incredible before the Spanish burned it all down and looted an entire civilization.

The Indochinese/Vietnamese Communist Party actually considered inter-party fucking to be incest. Party members called each other “brother” and “sister” not just as a sign of respect but also to forge sibling-like egalitarian bonds. Other types of relationships in Vietnam were very hierarchical, including husband-wife back then. Sleeping with your fellow party members was definitely as frowned upon as incest and could get you in serious trouble if you were in a leadership position.

In one story I read, an underground local city committee discovered their regional commander had pressured one of female guerillas into sleeping with him, so the other members of the city committee found their commander and slit his throat. Normally this would have had them killed themselves but when the city committee explained the situation the party agreed that the commander had indeed committed the crime of incest so his killers were forgiven.

Point of this: DSA needs to introduce the death penalty for sex pests in their ranks.
