Kumikommunism [comrade/them, any]

That article is actually a pretty great source on it being a fairy tale. What’s your disagreement? And if you disagree with the Wikipedia article, why are you linking it with no commentary?

No, you are a part of something much bigger than yourself. Again, I’m addressing you as a western liberal. If any part of that is wrong, feel free to correct me. But if you are using the term “whataboutism” and crying about policies in China that you have admitted you have no idea about, then you are pushing western liberal ideals, and are a part of the same problem. Also, I did not mention America at all. If you think what I’m talking about is limited to America, I don’t know. You need to read more.

No, you can’t criticize the Chinese social credit score, because it doesn’t exist.

And it’s not “whataboutism” to tell westerners to stop trying to “fix” other countries while living in a world ruled by pedophile billionaires and pretending they have “freedom”.

Your “solution” to everything is to invade, kill a bunch of innocent people, and install a worse, unelected government. So stop trying to analyze problems with other countries, real or fake. (In this case very fake)

Yeah, and the Big Bad Wolf is bad, but it’s also a western fairy tale.

No, you are assigning a moral value to complexity. Things are not more materially or morally correct by being more complex. That is the thinking of someone who thinks they are smart by really isn’t. Simple truths exist. One of which is that genocide is bad. Adding any “context” to that is pro-genocide. Which Germans have a long history of being.

You all are very high and mighty about the apparent lessons you learned from committing the most complex genocide in history (I can tell you are one of those). But the lesson you all learned is that you need to hire other people to do it. It allows you to maintain your smugness and innocence to anyone who doesn’t pay attention to anything.

German comes along to explain why being anti-genocide makes you bad. German thinks your human rights don’t matter if you’re the wrong kind of person. Pretty typical.

Could you explain how invading a country is treason and then point to a time where the president of the US wasn’t commiting treason?

It’s strange how you ignored that this is primarily about software piracy and he makes a living off software. I think he understands.

This “just asking questions” thing is just pure intellectual cowardice from you.

This isn’t a scientific study, which is what most people will assume when they read that.

75% of respondents were senior managers of C-suite level

And from the “white paper”:

All respondents are managers

There is no evidence that any respondents are game developers. Working as a manager in the same building where people actually develop games doesn’t mean you are a “dev”.

Here’s the actual “white paper”, btw: https://cdn.rokky.com/products-content/docs/TheStateofPCGameDistribution_rokky_com.pdf

They are able to, that doesn’t mean they are. I cannot find any data on residential recycling rates, and I have to assume, given the track record, that capitalist countries are doing the most wasteful thing that is the worst for the environment.

Trash recycling is a scam advertised by plastics companies so they wouldn’t be regulated by tricking gullible people like you. Most trash that is “recycled” is put into a landfill with no processing.

It’s not “more effective”, producing less waste would be the only solution. Which we aren’t doing because, again, plastics companies paid for decades of propaganda.

Liberals love to not solve problems and then throw themselves dramatically onto phrases like “whataboutism”.

Lmao, yeah you should buy a small-batch, artisan checks notes modern smartphone instead.

You will rip my Gruvbox from my cold, dead hands

That’s exactly why I posted the comment. I agree with you, but the other replies are taking it the other way.

I can’t tell which way you mean this. It can either be:

The Democrat party are doing exactly what they plan: be controlled opposition and not actually challenge any move rightward.

or

People just need to actually vote and the Democrats will fix all the problems!

You should probably elaborate.

This comment is funny because I don’t even know what you’re trying to say, but it’s so wrong anyway. It used to be a genocide? It’s never been a genocide? “At this point”?

The national level party ’s pigheaded “seniority above all else”, “don’t cut in line” thinking really needs to go.

He literally said as much in his recent publicity stunt. Don’t really need to wonder.

When a Democrat admits to “mistakes” in their past, it’s always something like advocating for the mass-murder of brown children, and you can rest assured that they will not miss the next chance to advocate for the same thing again.

Edit: Oh, actually, he devoted part of this rant to being pro-genocide. Nevermind, as usual, Dems are even worse than you can imagine.
