All we have to do is nuke them, and we'll be greeted as liberators

tankies seem wildly unaware of deng xiaoping’s purge of maoism and leftism in China

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHbreathHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The only places where it's possible to have any kind of informed, intelligent, and nuanced discussion of Deng's reforms are Hexbear and Lemmygrad, where they are frequently discussed and debated. I've posed questions about it to people on other servers, and the only responses I ever get are people attacking me as a tankie for even considering the question of whether China was better off before or after Deng's reforms, or what should've been done differently, regardless of which position I take - assuming they don't just ignore it or give a "tl;dr" for having the audacity to ask them a question that requires them to actually engage their brains instead of mindlessly reciting their preferred bumper sticker ideology.

It is kinda funny that the rating implies the Arbalest is included in "front-line combatants" despite being one of the most strictly back-line units in the game.

Correct! Darkest Dungeon's rating:

"NOT RECOMMENDED. Contains overtly DEI messaging. Features multiple female heroes who are front-line combatants, including the Arbalest, a WOC wearing full plate armor and wielding a giant crossbow."

Just think, in another universe, he could be called Vladimir Flannel.

Democrats studying the working class like Jack Skellington studying Christmas (kinda unfair, since Jack actually likes Christmas)

Trying to get Germans to not do genocide is erasing their culture, and trying to erase a culture is genocide

It also used to be used in "birb" memes, but that also died when it started taking on the Nazi meaning

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

If you pressed him on it, he'd just say, "Who said anything about Jews? Why are you bringing Jews into this? What, you just automatically assume that if someone's a sinister, manipulative puppetmaster, they have to be Jewish? That sounds kinda racist if you ask me." I cannot describe the degree of bad faith this person uses, like his brain operates in permanent bad faith. My center-right brother mentioned that Robespierre was called, "The Incorruptible" (because he was a true believer) and also, "The Angel of Death," and my fash brother started attacking him, like, "Oh, so you think Robespierre was an 'incorruptible angel,' why do you love Robespierre so much?" I'm 100% sure he didn't even know who Robespierre was before the conversation.

I always try to remind myself that all the suffering he's caused me and my family, the worst trauma we've experienced, is a fraction of the harm he inflicted on families overseas.
