Capitalists don't like it when China "steals" their IP, but never seem to want to pay back royalties on gunpowder, paper, printing, and the compass.

Curious.

illegally 'arrested

That's kidnapping. You're describing kidnapping.

The West must immediately repay the Global South for centuries of imperialism and colonialism, with interest and punitive damages.

Idk, the COVID "I'm just as right as the doctors" idiots have come pretty close. What was probably quite a containable virus is now just something we'll have to deal with forever.

In the dystopian Soviet Union, the state will arrest you on trumped up charges and send you to work in a Gulag.

It'd probably grate on me the second time I do it. Doesn't mean that it's not more interesting than the generic "this settlement needs you to shoot some dudes" FO4 encounter.

Amateurs play Tactical Waifu. Professionals play Logistical Waifu.

wants to safeguard the nuclear launch codes which will crash the economy.

This is just the later Soviet Union.

Or, at least, this seemed to work for the cishet white ones.

Unfortunately, some minority communities have had to adopt boot licking as a basic survival mechanism.

Lemmy.ml get mad at people who don't like the Democracy Party. We must all support Prime Minister Biden Robinette or else the Party of the Republic will win the next Voting.

Yes but this game is political because it lets you pick pronouns. Give me back my wholesome, unpolitical, giant stars and stripes robot spouting anticommunist catchphrases, Bethesda game!

Yeah the interface is awful.

On the other hand, I came across pirates boarding a freighter yesterday. I shot down the pirate ship and boarded the freighter. The gravity generator was malfunctioning so it would sometimes have gravity and sometimes be zero g. There were navigation puzzles, some of which could only be done in normal grav and some in zero-g.

None of the random side content in FO4 is anywhere near that interesting.

I like the game, but reviews are pretty unreliable these days. Cyberpunk 2077 also got a load of 8/9/10s on release and that game ran like shit and was full of bugs.

I searched for her name and despite the RFE article being a week old, no other more credible outlets have picked up on it. Maybe other outlets are using a different romanization of her name but this is certainly a red flag.

I at least speak for one Chinese person, me. You claim not to be Chinese, so you speak for zero Chinese people.

As an Asian/Taiwanese, I do not understand why Hexbearians feel the need to point out what's racist for us.

You dont speak for billions of Chinese people. The fact that you chose to refer to Chinese people in the third person speaks to that.

Thank you for telling on yourself and your separatist friends for using racist memes in social media though.

Takes so dogshit that even Reddit won't engage. Never would have thought it possible.

Even by you'd definition of "socialism" being public infrastructure spending, how is the US highway system more successful than the Chinese High Speed Rail system?

Don't bother friend. I know from long experience that they will insist on defining the terms of the discussion on their own, as if some whack job fringe theorist is somehow to be accorded the final word in adjudicating our use of language.

Ahh right, why should adherents of an ideology have any say in how that ideology is defined and how terminology specific to that ideology means?

The problem therein is of course that when your opponent gets to set the parameters of meaning and discussion

Your opponents shouldn't get to set the definitions, but the opponents of socialism should get to set the definition of socialism. Makes sense.

you aren't really exchanging ideas on an intellectually even playing field.

Correct, thought the intellectual disparity clearly cleaves in the opposite direction to what you believe.
