  • Aside from politcal compasses themselves being intrinsically stupid, especially when you transparently make your favorite section the 'correct' one (even though 'authoritarian leftist' is in general the closest to being the correct one in real life) - they've included the LGBT flag in the liberal but NOT the communist section, while they've included patsocs and national chauvinists amongst actual anti-imperialists.

    It basically spells out a specific set of brainworms, the 'social conservative' who believes all LGBT rights are bourgeoise inventions rather than being crucial to the struggle of the working class, and who also buys in to the idea of 'redeeming the USA' by just turning it communist instead of needing to tear the whole thing down and build new structures in its ashes.

    In 2014 a bunch of Ukrainian nazis couped the democratically elected government and started ethnically cleansing the Russian population in the Donbas. Some sections of the Ukrainian military rebelled and formed militia units to protect the population from being murdered by nazis, leading to a low level civil war stretching on for years. Ukrainian nazi paramilitaries continued persecuting ethnic Russian Ukrainians civilians as well as shelling Donetsk and Lugansk

    During this time Russia tried repeatedly to conduct diplomacy with the nazis western handlers, the US and the UK, as well as interested third parties such as Germany and France. However, it was pointless as the US never intended to back down and continuously goaded the Ukrainian nazis into attacks on the Donbas, all the while supplying them with money and weapons. When the war seemed to be escalating to the point NATO forces might join in, Russia - understanding that any actual direct combat between Russian and NATO soldiers would lead to a global nuclear holocaust - jumped in with its troops first... after spending three days voting to formally recognize the independence of the DPR and LPR, of course, because Putin is a bureaucrat to the core and these things must be done properly.

    And now, the people of Donetsk and Luhansk can live quietly without fear of nazi missiles blowing up their city centers for no reason.









  • I've just finished reading the whole of Hunter x Hunter and

    spoilers

    the last 80 chapters since the end of the election arc have been unbearable agony-immense

    Oh my god, just this fractal regression of side stories and characters, all wrapped up in a truly, utterly miserable atmosphere!!

    I cannot imagine the people who've been waiting ten years to find out what's on the Dark Continent, but instead it's been a recursive digression upon digression of these hopelessly tangled political intrigue story threads that lead nowhere, and people getting pointlessly murdered in horrible ways over and over again, in different combinations of mafia and royal soldiers and prince guards and queen guards and the spiders, AAAAAGGH and it's all on the boat ride to the fake new continent, before they even set off for the real one!! This is not the manga of thrilling exploration and combat I was promised! Where are my protagonists?! How many more sets of a dozen new quirky miniboss faces do I have to remember?!! How long until I get to see the fourth prince get his stupid evil face punched in??!! SHOW ME ROCK GON!!!!
