White House directs officials to draft proposal to lift US sanctions on Russia

Jump

  • True

    • White House directs officials to draft proposal to lift US sanctions on Russia

    Jump

  • Maybe that's cause Russia hasn't been communist in a long while.

    • Fascism is un-American

    Jump

  • Nope. The Nordic countries are still controlled by capitalists, they (akd most of western Europe as well) just have given the workers some welfare policies in order to appease them and stop any revolutionary ideas. It's no coincidence that these policies were in place while the Eastern bloc was around and they began to dismantle the welfare state as soon as the USSR fell and they felt they could get away with it.

    (Disclaimer: I'm not saying that the welfare state is evil, and that we'd be better with the shitty US way of doing things)

    • Fascism is un-American

    Jump

  • It's whitewashing because it's implying that genocide, leftist suppression, etc are the exclusive characteristics of a fascistic system instead of business as usual under capitalism. This removes the bad aspects of capitalism ("if this is happening it's because the US has turned fash, it's not capitalism's fault").

    Jump

  • He's right tho. The stuff in the meme are just things that happened under capitalism.

    Let's not whitewash capitalism by blaming its atrocities on fascism.

    • Fascism is un-American

    Jump

  • Fascism is the takeover of the state by the capitalists.

    What. Capitalism is already the takeover of the state by capitalists. The state apparatus is just the means by which the dominant class exerts its power.

    • Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!

  • The Simpsons: hit & run, Shinobido, GoW, Destroy all humans.

    I spent a ton of time playing the two towers, bit I don't know if it has aged well.

    Also, war of the monsters was campy and fun.

    • Rheinmetall goes brrrrrrrrrrr

    Jump

  • Nah. "Anti-democratic", for the EU, is also anything left of van Der Leyden.

  • This is my exact setup, too. It works without any problem using either thunderbird or their web UI.

    • Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion

    Jump

  • I liked (and still like) nearly all these mechanics đŸ€·

    The only thing I modded out is the to hit chance, but I'll leave it untouched in my next playthrough.

  • Other than the roll to hit mechanic (which would be pretty cool if paired with parry and dodge animations), which mechanics were "absolute shit"?

    • XDG_CONFIG_HOME

    Jump

  • Because it makes reinstalls really easy. You can just nuke your OS but everything else remains there safely.

    • ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners

    Jump

  • It's because you have control over your browser, but they control their app and all its trackers, ads, etc

    • Trump taunted over ‘most powerless image of a president’ ever

    Jump

  • Denethor was a good man.

    • EU says it will retaliate immediately if Trump imposes new tariffs

    Jump

  • Tbh if this finally gets the European governments to stop being the US' female dogs I will dedicate a shrine to Trump.

    • Why I am not impressed by A.I.

    Jump

  • It didn't? StRawbeRy has 2 rs. StRawbeRRy has 3.

    • Trudeau announces 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods starting Tuesday

    Jump

  • How is this whataboutism? They only pointed out that the US has a long history of doing shitty things without being controlled by some foreign actor. It's perfectly plausible that Trump is doing shitty things because he thinks he will personally gain something out of it, without anyone pulling his strings. He just doesn't care if the rest of the country goes up in flames.

    • Trump's strict foreign funding freeze sparks panic among international aid groups

  • Xi continues to win by doing nothing.

    • Do you wash your nice jeans?

    Jump

  • Yes. I also wash my nice boxers, my nice t-shirts, and dry clean my suits.
