I have never understood why people anticipate game realeases - I mean, people have learned how the AAA game industry works by now, right?

Yeah… tons of bribe money will do that to the governments of weak nations - it’s almost like Cuba had the correct idea.

I just think you’re a lazy anti-intellectual

How can I be an “anti-intelectual” when there are only pretend-intelectuals around?

Last time I checked, big foreign corporations are still looting and pillaging all over Africa as if independence never happened… I wonder why?

edit: This includes Shell, a Dutch corporation, btw.

but the US knew Saddam had chemical weapons

Yes, I know… the US knew about every gallon of mustard gas and sarin Saddam had - not only did the US provide intelligence to Saddam to specifically help his use of the stuff during the Iran-Iraq War be more effective, they could also literally read almost every damn ciphered communique of the Iraqi army at the highest levels thanks to the fact that Iraq used compromised ciphering machines bought from the CIA front company Crypto AG in Switzerland.

They knew perfectly well Saddam had destroyed all his stockpiles - if he hadn’t, Bush would have never dared to invade Iraq.

Oh look… the tankies are starting to talk in pictures again because all the copium robs them of the ability to form coherent sentences.

You do remember why we call you tankies, right? Hungary?

At this point, I’m amazed at any tankie that can even spell liberal… despite my low expectations, you still manage to mostly disappoint, though.

TLDR… “Anyone that doesn’t worship Stalin must be a liberal!”

Lol.

Yeah, that’s your ideology, tankie… repressing the working class “for their own good.” There’s no need to explain it to me - I already know.

What’s the matter? Snorting copium because all the anti-colonialist movements in the 3rd world only paid lip service to your garbage ideology?

Bullcrap. Since when does genocidal European colonial-settler states have “natural rights” to the land the are perpetrating genocide upon?

If I was a tankie I’d hate being called a tankie, too. Grifting becomes difficult if people actually have a word to describe your grifting, no?

With whom are you “together,” tankie? The workers that have been rejecting you since Kronstadt?

And what would this (alleged) “third option” be? This?

When was this nationalist hokum ever in date? Nationality has always been a piss-poor substitute for actual cultural identities… that’s the whole reason classical liberal nation states had to be forced onto people through state brutality.

What about confronting it’s colonial present? Last time I checked, the colonialist world order that underpins the wealth of the Global North hasn’t ended.
