If what we do and who we are in someone else's home is really a fuckin' issue, then give us our own houses and we'll do whatever the fuck we want in the privacy of them.

Nobody wants to live with strangers anyways, and we've got shit we wanna finally be able to do without having to answer to "daddy".

Very valid concern. I suppose we can't be too sure at the moment. The fact that Mali and Burkina Faso jointly back the new Nigerien coup looks promising. They've also jointly declared that any attack on Niger is a declaration of war on them all.

We should follow it closely.

From what I know so far, no. We'll have to see where this goes. I'm not convinced that Western plans for military intervention are cancelled.

More like a space chase, since the US has only ever chased after AES states once they start making serious progress.

China also has far larger ambitions for space than just landing on a rock. They want to utilize asteroids and, perhaps also the moon, for mining and possibly more, since that type of activity wouldn't harm our ecosystems back home.

Happy to hear it! Best of luck with the new person in your life

It's a pretty interesting little game, no doubt.

There's also https://vede.itch.io/the-communist-dogifesto, which I adore for the replayability, the lore, as well as the System Shock-like experience.

I would also like to know this, if anyone knows.

These are stressful times indeed. I've been quite worried in particular about the cluster munitions and depleted uranium rounds handed over to Ukraine by the West, which will effectively result in a permanent danger long after the war has ended. Just look at Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam as examples of nations peppered with unexploded ordnance, to which the legacy is something the US is still very grateful for. It's a way to continue war without being visibly involved anymore, which is quite clever.

As far as RU/CN/DPRK action in response to the tightening military circles of the West's NATO/Quad, I'm hoping this never comes in the form of hot war. The empire is dying with the rejuvenation and liberation of the Global South, but it's a slow choke. Dragging this on as long as possible until that fucker (US empire) is choked out is the safest bet. In other words, endure while continuing to accelerate de-dollarization and the development of national sovereignty in a multi-polar world. We have to do this while at the same time minimizing the fallout from climate change, which is a monumental task.

We're stuck in a real shitty time, and it's especially awful if you're young.

Missile command was historically one of the games that showcased the terror of the first Cold War's threat of nuclear annihilation.

Now, we've got something like this: Simulation of US and Russia Nuclear War - Nuclear War simulation

It's so bone chilling because not only are tensions increasing, but the technology to carry warheads continues to cut ICBM travel times down, making decisions on whether or not to respond to potentially false alarms all the more perilous. We narrowly escaped nuclear annihilation thanks to a Soviet man that chose not to respond to what was detected as incoming nuclear warheads, but turned out to be sunshine coming up over a hill.

Not too sure. Perhaps the uploader hasn't seen those teardowns themselves and has a little catching up to do.

The US is a failed state. These trends only continue to make land/agrarian reform sexier and sexier to the proletarianized masses.

Nobody wants to spend their youth kicking the can down the road for the next 5000 years. Eventually this will become an armed struggle, because we're tired of working to pay our landlords their kickbacks. Fuckin' move out of our parents house after putting up with their shit for nearly 20 years and then straight into another vertical hierarchy where we still aren't the masters of our own living spaces. Sometimes we can't even have that because it's too expensive to move out, or, like here, affordable apartments are just outright blocked in the interest of housing barons. We want to get on with our lives and can't do that when we have to answer to "daddy".

On a positive note, this buys China more and more time to show the housing situation that those in the US want to see. One look at Chinese infrastructure and the fact that the vast majority of the population owns homes, coupled with having been able to peacefully get on with their lives and enjoy positive social trends is enough to radicalize quite a lot of very hungry people. Even rent is far more reasonable in China.

Reforms can’t come fast enough. “Every time you think you scrape the bottom of the barrel, you get something like this,” William Sterling, one of the lawyers representing the developers in the builder’s remedy case, told me.

Reforms are meaningless under dictatorship of the capitalist class. The only way to secure them is to depose the ruling class and oppress their remnants.

If the state doesn’t take strong action soon, we may discover that the bottom is even deeper than we thought.

This is the US. Over a million people died of COVID because it was a big ass experiment and session of torture porn for the capitalists. The bottom is infinite.
