  • Let me use an example. Let's say you're my partner, and it's movie night. I give you a choice between two movies: Star Wars, and Harry Potter. However, if you choose Harry Potter for movie night, I will actually break both your hands with a sledgehammer.

    I say I'm giving you a choice, but do you actually have a fair choice?

  • Only because fascists inevitably eat each other. Nazi fascists and red fascists worked together until one turned on the other.

    Say what you want about the US, but they could go right to the Nazi beating without having to cooperate with them first.

    And Stalin literally did not kill Hitler. Hitler killed Hitler, in true fascist self-imploding fashion.

  • Are we just going to ignore the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, wherein Stalin let Hitler invade Poland as long as he got half of Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia?

    You know what the US never did? Call Hilter and agree to a joint imperialist effort in carving up sovereign nations.

    Edit:

    "there is one common element in the ideology of Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies" or that "it seems to us rather unnatural that a socialist state would stand on the side of the western democracies".

  • You can download a copy of the encrypted partition and attempt to crack it locally.

    Which depending on how deep your cascade encryption goes can require a huge amount of computation. If you're a small business owner running a restaurant or a student, that's plenty of security. If you're the lawyer for a former POTUS in a history-defining trial that might decide the future of the entire planet, I hope to God you're not relying on that encryption.

    Then again it might be the same dirt that foreign intelligence already has on Trump, so maybe it doesn't matter either way.

  • Nazis dogwhistle opposition to the US during WW2 Germany, the one time where the US was absolutely on the right side of history.

    Literally every time someone goes hard on the anti-America, they're just ass-sore that they kicked their asses back in WW2.

    Well I can take your logic and easily condemn all criticism of America as being Nazi dog whistles.

  • Socialism in principle sounds great, but most times it's been implemented it's suffered from the same problem as capitalism - the people with power are greedy and use their power to manipulate and oppress the populace.

    This is true, the "dictatorship of the proletariat" is self-contradictory and impossible IMHO. Because as soon as a member of the proletariat is a dictator, they are now no longer a member of the proletariat.

    Now you don't need a dictator, you can enact socialist policies democratically. This is very slow and kind of difficult, because the capitalists will lobby and fight so hard against it, and you need to maintain public support.

  • PL brought a trait system overhaul, cyberware overhaul, and combat overhaul that dramatically changed up the gameplay loop even in the core game.

    The story was always amazingly crafted, but the game never warranted a second play through. Now it does.
