He thinks he stopped 8 wars? Which 8 wars?

You mean pirated Photoshop, right? :D

… You mean pirated Photoshop… Right? :|

Me; neither.

I’m incredibly sick and tired of videogames usually picking just two lanes:

• Super photoreal graphics, optimisation be damned, that’ll look dated in just a few years.
• Pixelated nostalgia tripping for people still stuck in the past.

American “reassurance” is a “trust me bro” with no backing and no consequences for them if they break it.

I mean… Palantir showed Denethor false images of doom and despair fed by Sauron. It drove him to become a completely mad tyrant.

I think Palantir is a very apt name. They just don’t realise why.

There are plenty of Americans who worship Trump… In a literal sense… And are perfectly fine with ICE indiscriminately shooting people.

Are you trying to make a point?

Sure, but what does this have to do with the riots in Iran?

And my dad just went to visit Iran for two months…

I can ask the Iranian side of my family to explain exactly how full of shit you are. Wouldn’t be for constructive reasons; I doubt you can be taught anything. But it sure would be entertaining.

Haven’t seen that happen yet.

They tend to pool in a certain subset of lemmy instances, and some of the main instances have defederated them, because at one point it got pretty bad.

I’m keeping it around because at some point in the future the Switch 2 will get hacked, and boy am I going to have some sailing to do.

A tankie is a kind of person who likes Imperialism and expansionism so long as it comes from something related to, as the other user said, Marxist-Leninism.

The origin of Marxist-Leninism is Russia, so they support Russia invading things, and committing warcrimes, and make all sorts of excuses for such acts.

Today they’re primarily in support of the Russian side in the Russo-Ukranian war, do not consider it an invasion of a sovereign nation, and consider it fully justified as an act to oppose “NATO expansion”.

Essentially, to a tankie, nothing “goes too far” if they can somehow connect it to a Marxist-Leninist agenda, and behave the same way about Putin as a right-wing American behaves about Trump.

Nearly forgot; the name “tankie” comes from how Russia overwhelmingly uses tanks to invade territories.

You really just want to read what you want, huh?

Didn’t i just answer this question?

Yes…? Crusifying people is what Romans did to those they considered criminals.

I’m guessing English isn’t your first language?

The sheer coincidence of finding this right after reading your comment.

“I am bad at managing my finances, and eventually need to get bailed out by the government, or end up next to the homeless guy I used to make fun of”.

The people who build your roads, teach your children, and take care of you when you’re sick have a right to a living wage.

Taxes pay their wages.

If there is a disparity in the taxes you pay, the wages of these workers, and the rich people of your country, then it’s time to do something about it. And lo, it’ll probably end up in violence.
