When given the choice of conservative techbro brainworms on Twitter, and lib blue MAGA brainworms on bluesky, I'll just stick with Lemmy.

Very skeptical, I see a lot of libs jumping over because they want to distance themselves from Twitter.

Just one day? How much does that affect video game development anyway? I'm not overly familiar with digital media development procedures but this seems like a pretty weak strike.

Theres way fewer Baltic people. The whole of Estonia has less people than one single city in most other European states. It's a lot easier to propagandize such a small population.

I think MAGA knows exactly what it wants, to get rid of the Democratic party. They don't have many goals beyond this, because that's as far as they've thought out the plan.

Yeah, pinkwashing definitely. They'll use this as a cultural wedge until the rest of the world ends up on the same page, after which they'll happily throw these communities under the bus.

I recently attempted to try out Heart's of Iron TNO, after it's most recent update. And if you can look past the eye burning UI, It's got a fairly okay storyline with a firmly anti-fascist narrative. Although if you're specifically looking to trash on the US, then for strategy games I could recommend Eugen system's Wargame and Warno series. I remember playing one of them way back in the day, and it was pretty good. They released the latest entry this year, I haven't played it but it seems to have good reviews.

Come now, dear American, we've already got our Thermonuclear Statsian Hoxha.

Not sure if you are taking the piss, but it's clear they meant to say "On our behalf" and fat fingered their keys.

Is it fair to list Croatia for Nikola Tesla when there was no such country when he was born? And everyone contemporaneously knew him as a Serb?

 

I'm sick of seeing so many drive-by liberals in every post comment smugly saying that "Trump worse" bullshit whenever someone here mentions how terrible Kamala Harris is.

I don't doubt Trump is a zionist POS as well, but the US media does enough to demonize him that it's only Blue MAGA that we see turning up around here. Although they hate him for shit reasons, like trying to negotiate with Kim Jong Un. While they seem fine with him murdering Iranian generals and almost provoking war.

If we don't have some sort of existing resource to list all the horrible shit Harris has done, which makes her just as bad if not worse than Trump in any meaningful way, we should put it front and center for easy reference.

 

During an unrelated discussion about something or the other (sports or something), I brought up a list of Asian countries, and instinctively accidentally said "DPRK" instead of "North Korea" during an actual conversation irl with a liberal that I often talk to. And after a little bit he produced the quote in the title. Referencing Voltaire's "Not Roman, not holy nor an empire" quip.

In this context our liberal here was clearly taking a jab at the DPRK and how it supposedly doesn't live up to it's name.

At the time it annoyed me but I said nothing of it and laughed it off and got back on topic.

But thinking back I'm wondering if it could have been an opportunity to perhaps break some of the conditioning and maybe have him reflect on his preconceived notions. What would have been the best way to actually explain how the name is actually rather fitting, without risking triggering a liberal brain malfunction that defaults to spouting propaganda?

 

Was curious if there were any quotes that we'd like to share.

It's pretty hard to find anything from Stalin for example that isn't blatantly made up to demonize him.
