Dude I wanna live in your world where the dems dominate anything.

I support free speech, but man do people like you make it tough.

The main difference between a prime minister and a president is the fact that they’re appointed, not elected, no? Little difference when you consider the state of national primaries in the states, but still.

How’d that work out for Johansson?

Realistic as in “this is a believable real person” not “this is exactly what everyone looks like”

Souls games are literally just rhythm games. 90% of boss fights are watching for when the enemy commits to moving forward and pressing the roll button, once they stop for a bit, give em a tickle. Repeat until god is dead.

Ubisoft as a company deserved to fail though. It sure sucks for the poor bastards working there but something tells me the tune would be a lot different if this was just another round of layoffs.

“Chinese Imperialism threatens U.S. Imperialism”

Cope and seethe troll

Youtube itself is the reason everybody uses these headlines. If they don’t title their videos like a 4 year old, you don’t see it. Simple.

Huh, neat! Had no idea. Seems like an odd exception.

That’s not what monopoly means? The merger should absolutely be scrutinized for the potential anti-competitive ramifications, but vertical integration isn’t immediately not allowed.

“Socialism will transition to communism” is just a communism thing. Social democracy is different. It doesn’t involve communism. Because communism is cringe.

Because exclusively that’s the communist viewpoint. There are different socialist ideologies than communism. It’s a rectangle vs square situation.

That’s neither exclusive to communism nor has it been achieved in most purportedly communist states (I hear Vietnam’s actually been having a good run of things but I can’t speak to specifics).

Socialism != communism.

They’re mask off on hexbear/lemmygrad, they try to be subversive on lemmy.ml. I have in fact instance blocked the first two, you can usually dodge them on .ml. Lemmy is far less enjoyable if you have not blocked them.

Commune-ism sounds like a lovely idea on a small scale, you gotta solve a lot of political problems to make it work on anything bigger. Social democracies like the scandinavians seem to be the best way we currently know to run a humanitarian society.

“America does bad things, so I should support china/russia instead!”

“Stalin/mao were (anything besides utterly reprehensible dictators)”

“Communism could’ve worked if-“

Honorable mention to thinking this coy “I’m going to act all hyper respectful and yet also like I know more than anyone about anything” bullshit gets you anywhere.

Op sounds less surprised more disappointed.

the Malvinas were colonized for resources

What resources do the Falklands have exactly? Fucking fish?

It was a convenient and well situated naval base historically, and now is perfectly able to declare independence if the population so wishes -the falklands just, shockingly, overall benefit from being a part of a larger and richer national entity.

Essequibo was disputed in colonial times, with the dispute being settled by an international tribunal. First it was about gold, now it’s about oil.
