I'm not going to argue this unless you can provide me a definition of fascism (I.e. not "Must call their ruling party "The fascist party") that is useful and doesn't include the Russian government. Actually let me rephrase: Come up with a definition that includes Chile, the RoC under the KMT, South Korea, et al, but does not include Russia.

Such a definition does not exist, and cannot exist. Classic definitions of fascism promulgated by people like Robert Paxton fit Russia, definitions of fascism like a decaying capitalist state run by a bourgeois lashing promulgated by people like Clara Zetkin fit Russia, definitions like Dmitrov's definition of fascism as the most reactionary forces of finance capitalism having control over the capitalist state fit Russia. But apparently Russia isn't fascist because fascism is more than just being fascist.

What makes Russia fascist?

The embrace of fascism by its ruling political party, the fascist political structure, the fact that it's built in the image of another fascist state (Namely the US), its embrace of anti-communism, anti-minority (whether those be gender and sexual minorities or religious and ethnic minorities), all the fucking nazis and fascists involved with or connected to the ruling party. Is this place doing a bit right now?

When did it become fascist?

Somewhere around the time Yeltsin took power, did away with the soviet union and any communist project, suppressed left wing resistance to this. And I would say the fascist didn't end when he then handed power over to the guy who is still in charge being a fascist and basically doing the exact same thing more competently.

"Hah yeah. People acting like idiots and basically deliberately infecting people with a deadly disease? The government would crack right down on that"

You're telling me. Folks. You're telling me that some people. Not naming any names but it's crooked Joe Biden. Would have the Clay ask he who is forming it, what he's making. It's a disgrace let me tell you.

I'm not arguing that Nimoy wasn't good in 4. But I don't know if he was an actor known specifically for his voice. If you think otherwise, or I'm just wrong, that's cool, but that just gets us back to the issue that I can't think of a woman known for her voice that could get cast for this. (Except Shohreh Aghdashloo)

i can't think of an older English language actress known for their voice that isn't either the type of person who gets oscar noms (And is therefore out-of the price range) or a voice actor who does silly voices or voices children. I mean I guess there's Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Then again I suppose people didn't really know Nimoy for his distinctive voice.

Obviously a woman because that's what communism is. But which woman?

So she literally just said no so he killed her.

The fact that the article finds it necessary to list his professional Ls after just revealing him to be a murderer is weird, but I'm not inherently opposed.

You can't kill what was never alive

Can't say. Might be. I just know about the 2019 act

[-] CamillePagliacci@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

It was signed into law in 2019.

The National POW/MIA Flag Act ensures that the POW/MIA Flag is displayed whenever the U.S. flag is displayed at certain locations. Those locations include the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, every national cemetery, the buildings containing the official offices of the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Veterans Affairs, the office of the Director of the Selective Service System, each major military installation (as designated by the Secretary of Defense), each Department of Veterans Affairs medical center, clinics and Veterans Benefits Administration offices and each United States Postal Service post office

They're a big nosed race that run the banks and the government secretly who funds revolution to get rid of the traditional order that threatened them, they subvert other races specifically using lesser races to threaten the otherwise dominant racial group. They're all, universally, in on it, it's all planned, it's all a big conspiracy those who find out are silenced and made to look like fools, those who oppose them are clandestinely gotten rid of.

All of that is 100% canon, it's in the game, it's not an interpretation. It's just there. The most openly antisemitic shit I've seen. Now you can say its satire, and I would tend to agree, but I also think the fact that it isn't even played as a little bit funny sort of undermines that.

I don't know man, the gnomish conspiracy still wigs me out. The fact that they made antisemitism correct in this game is a choice.
