  • Depends how you count counter-revolutions, in which case most of the former USSR, Chile, maybe Spain.

  • For anyone curious, these are characters from the mobile game Arknights, where Marx and Lenin are both (somehow) canon. Istina's (the character on the right) base skin has her holding a book titled "Marxism-Leninism".

    Sadly the game is a gacha, and not communist at all.

  • New Evangelion Series Announced

    Jump

  • The rebuilds are about how you need to stop watching evangelion and touch grass so they've kinda done that already.

  • Do you think the way the Epstein stuff gets memeified normalises the horror too much?

    Jump

  • I think the thing that normalises the horror more is the fact that all this info came out and now nothing's going to be done about it because those in power are more or less fine with their fellow bourgeois being pedos.

    Imo the memes are a result of this: powerless people trying to cope with the horrors in ways that are available to them.

  • Six years later I finally finished getting every Hades 1 achievement. I would like to say fuck you to Achilles and Patroclus in particular for taking so damn long.

    Played a little bit of Megabonk but nothing much. They added a lot of content with that halloween update apparently.

    Finished Brotato's new update as well.

    Played some more of my coop Nioh 1 campaign with a friend (no we can't start with the better game(s) that'd be ridiculous). It's fun, wearing all light armor and using the ninja weapons is a very different (and dangerous) way to play. Just finished Sekigahara and Sekigahara 2 so I think we have like one more region and then the DLC. DLC is going to be fun, he has no idea of the difficulty spike.

    As always more Warframe. Got Atlas Prime through resurgence and once he's done building I'll finally have one of every frame.

  • Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too

  • I agree, in order to remain morally consistent we should remove all the most energy-intensive humans as well. Oh look, it's the billionaires. Well, you guys had a good run, time to get in the pit

  • Don't forget interest! Given credit card interest is ~20%APR, I think it's fair to say that after 6 years he owes us around $2k.

  • -100k whatever for all the electors seems odd. Gotta say, paradox seems to be slipping with recent releases. Vicky 3 and this were just busted on launch, but I remember CK3 being solid.

  • "This is Not a Dress Rehearsal": U.S. Engaged in Massive Military Buildup as Threat To Bomb Iran Grows

    Jump

  • I think it's about 50/50. I'm still pretty surprised Venezuela ended up working as well as it did, so that's a point in its favor, but that doesn't mean it'll work every time. Obviously public sentiment is against a ground invasion but when has that stopped anything Trump has done in the past? If his supporters can pardon him being a pedophile they certainly won't care about another invasion of some distant country.

    If I had to guess I think most likely is they try to do another kidnapping campaign that then fails and turns into a prolonged invasion.

  • "This is Not a Dress Rehearsal": U.S. Engaged in Massive Military Buildup as Threat To Bomb Iran Grows

    Jump

  • The invasion of Afghanistan began with a wave of bombings/air strikes that killed thousands of civilians and destroyed infrastructure because the Taliban/Al Qaeda were located in areas in which other people lived. Especially the Taliban, as they were the ruling government. A decent analogy is actually 9/11: sure, they targeted the white house and pentagon, but also the WTC which were civilians. Given what we know of US intel, I would actually wager that 2/3 of the hijackerss targets being military installations makes them more precise than the US forces. There are then second-order deaths, such as from starvation and disease, due to disruption of infrastructure, power being cut, factories shutting down, etc.

    Likewise, the "Shock and Awe" phase of the invasion of Iraq was a terror bombing campaign that aimed (and failed) to cause Saddam's government to be overthrown by popular uprising due to mass civilian death and destruction of infrastructure. IIRC Iraq's power grid still hasn't been repaired to pre-war levels over 20 years later.

    We can get semantic about what the phrase "bombing to pieces" means, but come on. The invasions kill over a million people, primarily due to second-order deaths from the initial and ongoing bombing campaigns. Seriously, look at the history of how the US wages war. It always relies on having air superiority and bombing the shit out of the countries it invades and then following up with special forces. Nowadays, that'd be JSOC because that branch of the special forces are directly controlled by the president.

    As far as ground invasion, that depends on what their goals are. If they want to use the playbook from Venezuela and kidnap (or assassinate) all leadership then "no" because while they'll have special forces on the ground they won't be staying long-term. If they want to use the playbook from Iraq and Afghanistan, then yes, they will have to do a ground invasion as strategic terror bombings never actually succeed at causing the popular uprisings (see: Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc). The only place it allegedly ever worked was Japan in WWII, but that seems to have been largely incorrect and their surrender was much more due to the soviets declaring war on them.
