I don't even think about is as like a branding or optics thing, I just find it uncomfortable to knowingly want mass innocent deaths for people you've decided are guilty by proximity.
death to X is not what I am talking about. like you can see my username obviously, I know what those slogans mean. I am talking about fro western leftists who want mass death of westerners as punishment for things. and also like genuinely if you even ask Hamas and so on 'do you think we should mass kill Americans' they say no
everybody knows those sentiments are not 'kill everybody' but are 'we should destroy the system and state that takes out violence upon people'
https://hexbear.net/post/194269/comment/2438894 I mean for one here's literally a comment from a few hours ago in the mega that is the kinda stuff I am talking about
I know, I'm talking about the edgy gleeful embrace of divine smite rather than the smaller scale
some people are mad it goes through protected green areas, and at points it also goes through peoples houses that need to b demolished. which like, both are touchy points. protecting green spaces is good, but sometimes you do need new infrastructure especially stuff that lets us cut down on cars which obviously do the most to take up green spaces with massive fuck off roads. and the housing thing is like there are times and places like Robert Moses who tore down poor and PoC neighbourhoods for freeways but also some times you can't just completely paralyse infrastructure development because of housing, it's about who is being effected and how, and then how we should recompensate those people
we literally have an emoji asking for a nuclear war :xi-plz: that murders billions
we already have enough death cultists murdering babies for The Line god, we don't need to join them in cheering for a sea of blood or nuclear hellfire to own the people who dislike us
federations is pretty good, it fleshes out federations as the name suggests which do shape a lot of the galactic politics in the mid to late game. the story packs are neat in they add fun event chains and stuff but only worth picking up on sale imo. nemesis is very fun in it lets you become the endgame crisis and centralise power in the galactic senate to stop the crisis too, but idk if I would call that vital. apocalypse is another that's eh in that you get new mega ships and planet crackers but it's not vital content. megacorps is honestly kinda annoying as crime empires can set up shop on your planets and cause so much issues that you need to focus on squashing, and as a communist I never have had the desire to play a megacorp empire
honestly, strike up conversations with homeless people if you can. so many people try to buy feeling morally good just paying them and walking away in a very dehumanising manner, you'll honestly be doing a lot to show a person you see them as a person who you talk to. a lot of them are really nice and will appreciate a lot you giving them time and attention
Tik Tok now thinks I'm Jewish. it just goes through these phases where it's like oh you have schizophrenia here's a bunch of videos of people talking about that, or you're Jewish, ect and I'm always like :jesse-wtf: I'm literally none of these things why did you suddenly presume this???
they're p much all over South England by this point. I've seen them in Cornwall before
my dad keeps getting really fucking annoying about me spending my fucking money helping homeless people. I go to work for 8 hours plus lunch every day for 5 days a week, I pay my rent to him on time, and I'll spend my fucking money how I fucking like. "oh but the economy is so bad right now, you should be wiser with it, we might need that" bruv if it comes down to that, then obvious I will cut back how much I spend, but it being so hard right now means people need more shit. like I just hate this kind of hording mentality that we might need it, so you can't give it away
people seemed shocked by Macron dropping the redditor act of Ukraine simpage, but he was one of the major voices in brokering the Minsk agreements. I don't like the fucker obviously, but this is hardly some weird uturn, he's been invested in the Ukraine situation for years
the tories have outflanked Starmer from the left many times. it's so pathetic
inshallah Putin wipes them out on the train back to Kyyyyyyv
Russian troops pulling back to the Volga any second now
