I’ll say this though, plenty of the worst offenders are Gusano types, often children of people who grew up and benefited from some form of socialism. Somehow being born and raised long after the end of socialism, they believe it was the worst thing to even happen to their society.

They were all men, although not all white

I’m sure it will friend, and thanks for the kind words

Glad to be here

Thank you comrade Maeve!

Just posting to say I’m alive, just life being rough. Reading your posts still keeps me positive.

Yeah that alone makes me doubt the authenticity of this statement

So many people are brainwashed around me, and I have lost all hope in the average human growing a sense of morality until the bombs are falling on their own heads.

Today I had to finally make the difficult choice to cut off several friends and family who refuse to see the truth here. Barbaric.

I can’t fucking believe that there are people who were alive during Iraq, and STILL BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA ABOUT THIS.

Much appreciated

On my end I can’t see it. I use Lemmy off my phone, I wonder if there’s got something to do with it.

Thats unfortunate, I realise I no longer have my original profile image anywhere, guys I’ll have to set aside some time to make a new one

It doesn’t necessarily mean " no moderation " but rather decentralized and de corporatised, you know, like here on Lemmy

Good journalism. I particularly liked Blumenthal’s recent piece in remembrance of the late Michael Parenti.

Glad to see EU4 enjoyers staying strong on the grad. Give it a week and we’ll surpass eu5’s player numbers.

Still the best paradox game 13 years running

That’s like, your opinion man…

I remember back in the day when I was on the genzedobg subreddit, this was my favourite bot copypasta on there. When are we getting those here on lemmygrad?

As a fellow eu4 fan, I’m nearly certain they’ve removed 1444 start date solely to sell it back as DLC. They’ve done similarly in crusader Kings, and I don’t doubt it’s their plan here too. Also I agree wholeheartedly about your Victoria 3 experience. The game is so focused on its economy system, which is ironically less authentic than what was there in Victoria 2, all while every other aspect of the game was gutted out for rng based dice rolls. I can somewhat understand this for warfare (although the system is still atrocious), but the way you changed your laws by incrementally and endlessly rolling events in your parliament or whatever was mind numbing to the point it’s what put me off the game and modern paradox for good.

Also @Conselheiro@lemmygrad.ml is totally right about creamapi, must have for EU4 particularly.

The Epstein story is peanuts compared to WAR WITH IRAN. if anything the Epstein is the actual distraction too literal war and imperialism, you know the thing that could kill millions of people.

I believe they said “game”, you know, where you can actually do something
