If you ever feel like doing a second playthrough (the side quests and DLCs are fun) then train with captain Bernard, the captain in Ratttay, he teaches you some combos and blocks that make combat a whole lot more manageable.

Stunt by who? Prigozhin? Definitely. Putin? There’s no way in hell.

Ignorant American here, is that not what the Green Party is supposed to be? Is there a reason why Corbyn and the left wing labor/independent MP’s shouldn’t just join the Greens?

No. It was communist.

The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not “socialists seeking communism.” When people say a country was/is “communist,” they mean it’s being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it’s achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.

The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

Probably just paying them to stay on message about Ukraine and stop rambling about random culture war issues like alleged elementary school litter boxes.

A general strike would be one example.

It’s hard to have an army without an economy, and it’s hard to effectively enslave a nation by forcing them to work at gunpoint.

I guess Mexican drug cartels are pretty much the libertarian wet dream.

Ooo, that one’s good, I’ve never thought of that before. I bet “So you want a weak government like Mexico?” would short circuit many libertarian’s brains.

Even then, it was only legally abolished, some plantations never had any Union soldiers come, so they never freed their slaves, just kept them in “sharecropping” agreements but they weren’t allowed to leave. Actual share cropping was also horrific and also sometimes had slavelike conditions.

Some of these fake “sharecropping” agreements stayed in place till the mid 1900s.

Here’s a very excellent video by Knowing Better on Neoslavery.

than 50% of the US realizes there’s still an embargo.

Oh trust me, enough of the Republican base still remembers it enough to screech any time there’s any talk of ending it.

Several wounded soldiers interviewed by The Post explained how they suffered injuries in battle before capture, including one who said he injured himself with his own grenade in hopes he would die and not be taken prisoner. Ukrainian soldiers provided him first aid, he said, and then evacuated him to a clinic where he was X-rayed and had surgery to remove shrapnel from his wounds.

Wow, Russia really must be feeding them with propaganda about what being a POW in Ukraine is like, glad he survived to see it wasn’t true.

One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.

Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.

Skyblivion actually has a confirmed release date in 2025 already.

This war sure has produced a ton of clips that have made me say, “Damn, we’re living in the future.”

Nice misinformation Vatnik.

More weapons than money, but yes that’s what you have to do when your country is being invaded and you don’t have the industrial base to suddenly build an army from nowhere.

Yes, the man who has been leading his country in a war for survival and winning is the real clown! /s

The Vice President actually doesn’t use the White House as their official residence.

Ignorant American here, are any of the parties in Brazil trying to defend Maduro? I was very surprised to see even Lula take a stand against him.

It’s like the inverse of American exceptionalism,

Yes that’s definitely it. It’s people who have heard the stupid overly-patriotic American exceptionalism “America can do no wrong”, they know it’s obviously not true and so they switch to the reverse position of “America does all wrong” like it’s somehow more true.
