  • "As a Eastern European, does this Soviet city builder let me build a historically accurate totalitarian dystopia"

    Jump

  • This reminds me of the time that I encountered one of my cousins whom I hadn't talked to in 10 years at a family event. When he asked me what I had been up to, I told him that I was really into the Tropico series, and how I've been building a little communist island society and was having a lot of fun. His first response was, "Oh cool, so you have bread lines, secret police, and all of your citizens are poor af?"

  • There's really only two reasons why someone would hate communism:

    1. You have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo because you benefit from it (either from a class or race perspective)
    2. You're really fucking stupid and easily propagandized.

  • I think it originated with Matt Christman calling him that a few years ago.

  • Fartlow back with another banger

  • Genuine question: Is it Holocaust denial because Fartlow is comparing the widespread and organized violent persecution of Jewish people to something that is not at all comparable, thus downplaying the actual significance of the Kristallnacht?

  • I know very little about Mexican politics, but AMLO seems like a pretty good dude. Are any of the 3 main candidates close to being a decent replacement for him?

  • Two Doctors, Six Others Quarantined Amid Bird Flu Outbreak in Ranchi

    Jump

  • I hope this isn't a dumb question, but if the mortality rate of this flu is so aggressive, could it end up burning out before it spreads too widely?

  • Early tests of H5N1 prevalence in milk suggest U.S. bird flu outbreak in cows is widespread

  • PCR testing at OSU revealed three of those 22 products to be positive for viral RNA. Bowman sent them to Webby to inject into plates of mammalian cells and embryonated chicken eggs and look for any signs of active viral replication. In order to do that, Webby needed a negative control, so he went and bought milk at a store near his lab in Memphis. But PCR testing found H5N1 RNA in that sample too, making it useless as a negative control, but an additional data point showing a lack of live virus.

    God damn it, lmao.

  • I realized that we as a community have no idea how each of us look like irl, so feel free to post your selfies, I'll start:

  • This is the only good selfie I've taken in awhile.

  • Yes, the totalitarians are...20 year old college students who hold no actual power besides collectively being loud and demonstrating in the hopes that it's disruptive enough to invoke change. Not the jackbooted thugs beating them with billy clubs and throwing them in a van.

  • The front page of /r/politics during a week with nationwide protests in solidarity with Palestine and police crackdowns on said protests

    Jump

  • That's pretty accurate, really. Libs only see politics as all the stuffy white dudes in the Capitol and Donald Trump falling asleep in court.

  • Meanwhile on Tiktok, videos of the protests have 150k+ likes, and any comments like that get ratio'd into oblivion. Wonder why the government hates it so much.

  • I'ma be honest, I'm really glad that /r/chapotraphouse started coming across my feed when it did and got me out of liberal politics. I was a /r/politics user for like 6 years and probably would've kept going if I wasn't exposed to leftist politics.

  • Biden has signed a TikTok ban into law. Here’s what this really means

    Jump

  • That's a good point! TikTok's algorithm adjusts itself extremely fast, so it only takes a few interactions with leftist creators to dial it in.

  • G4 was my favorite thing to watch in the early 2000s when I was like 14. I haven't thought about this guy since then, but holy shit he sucks lmao.

  • I tell them I'll probably vote for Claudia because she aligns most closely with my political tendencies, and they STILL get mad at me. Bruh, you told me to vote lmao

  • Not acknowledging any election other than the presidential general

    I check out every ballot in my local district. But all of the Democratic candidates support Israel, cops, and the military, so I don't bother voting for them.
