  • The UK has neither the right to free speech nor the right to protest without explicit permission from the government.

    The UK, does, on the other hand have a massive manufacturing and tech deficit in literally all industries since leaving the EU, something China can fix overnight as long as they move away from Trump and the US who, let's face it, will abandon them as soon as they stop being useful.

  • Liberals were never left wing, equality nor equity can happen under capitalism. The rainbow capitalism liberals advocate for only extends as far as their use to the liberal hierarchy. See: trans and undocumented people getting thrown away by the Harris admin as soon as they no longer saw any bumps in polls for supporting them.

    The problem you're having is you live in a place with such a far right Overton window that the thought of even a tenuous equality amongst the under class is a progressive idea. It's not. But it's an easy tool to divide the underclass, and even acceptance of 'controversial' humans is used to divide the underclass.

    Liberal was a good thing to be in the early 1700s, when it was the only alternative to divine right feudalism; but we've evolved since then. We don't have to settle for capital based feudalism, which is all liberalism amounts to.

    Tl;Dr liberal infighting caused you to think liberalism and conservatism is different ideologies, and you're using the conservative definition of liberal to define yourself and getting mad.

  • If you want to play 6,7 & 8 play the might and magic merged mod and just roll with the slight scuff. It's worth not having the original experience for the most part. The two xeen games also serve as a stand in for all games before them and you can pretty much skip the early ones.

    Do not play 9. Even as a curiosity. It was the death of the studio, was half finished, and will just be one of the most frustrating games you will play if you even slightly try to play as intended. I still feel the disappointment of booting it up, having just finished a playthrough of 8 in preparation, and getting an hour in and realizing that maybe crusaders of might and magic was a sign that the magic of the studio was gone forever.

    10 is okay if you manage to like world of xeen, but you'll hate it if you like the 6, 7, 8 trilogy.

  • Well recognized! And yes. Compared to a lot of story types that try to avoid Mary sues, it's nice to just give in occasionally. 这一世我要当至尊 is pretty fun overall, even if it gets a bit too DBZ levels of ridiculous in terms of strict power scaling definitions that it immediately ignores anyway.

  • FYI for anyone that comes across, this here is an example of a conservative capitalist supporter who spends hours a day posting about imaginary tankies that fucked his wife or whatever weird shit pops into their head.

    Individuals like this use the word tankie in the same way liberals use the word Nazi or conservatives use the word commie or how maga use the word dei or how toddlers use the word icky. It means whatever they want it to mean at the time, in most cases just being anything unpleasant to their delicate sensibilities.

    Anyone using the term tankie on a left wing site is deeply unserious and solely exists to sow division and troll.

  • Azov brigade and the long history of Ukrainians enthusiastically helping the Nazis in WWII, both are on wikipedia, citing western sources.

    We shouldn't help Russia either, given they're just as bad these days, but treating one better than the other is categorically insane... Unless one is willing to sign over pretty much all their mineral and agriculture rights to us companies.

  • The near future? Yes. Absolutely. The have the best economic and political system so far, and are now building out their military to step into the role of hegemon.

    The far future?

    Assuming China can crack down on global coal and oil usage and figure out climate change, they'll be paving the way for communism in a couple of generations. If they can successfully solve these issues, crush the capitalist markets, and still maintain or lower their current level of corruption then communism is inevitable by 2100 at the latest.

    This will be the last century of kings and ceos. Either the world ends due to climate change and capitalist greed, or humanity prevails through communism. There isn't another option left.
