That's why I said "unsurprisingly," and considering South Korea has developed far more recently, it's also important to recognize that their social progress is behind much of other developed countries. I wasn't implying that Korea has anything specific about them that made them especially misogynistic, rather, it's pointing at their current conditions and trajectories.

Odd to call it "winning," but the answer is "historical total." The US has murdered tens of millions more over its several hundred year history than Nazi Germany killed in the less than half a century it existed.

It isn't sanity to pretend that hundreds of years of brutal history are equally comparable to an extremely condensed period of the single most brutal country to exist in modern history. Nazism is far more evil than liberalism, even if liberalism is still inevitably evil.

Negotiating collectively is the only way to negotiate with a Capitalist. Individually, you are a replaceable cog, collectively you're the machine.

Hot take: Starfield isn't "dated," it's actually a much better RPG than anything they've made since Morrowind. However, because they can't rely on the world building and writing of people who have either left the company or worked for a different company they acquired the IP for, Starfield has highlighted just how bad Bethesda game design and writing truly is when done in a wholly original manner.

It's still going to be a modder paradise.

What history? What economics? Vague gesturing and feigning superiority without actually saying anything is peak.

Edit: turns out the economics was just Sowell all along, lol. Guess we have an AnCap over here.

Republicans are a minority, but the right is the overwhelming majority. America has no mainstream left, its firmly center-right with a center-right party and a fascist party.

It's also the worst. It was the backbone of both Nazi Germany, and modern Social Democracies. Capitalism is incredibly broad, both the most evil and most benign states in history have relied on Capitalism.

Socialism similarly is broad, and isn't at all synonymous with Stalinism or Maoism.

The game isn't hard to level up, there are numerous no-issue, fast grinding spots. It doesn't take hours to level, it takes going to a quick position, swinging your weapon a few times, and then leveling up.

The lack of a difficulty option is a good thing, it prevents elitism and allows the game to be properly balanced without resorting to artificial difficulty increases like blanket damage changes.

All in all, I don't see what your issue is. Are you arguing that ER shouldn't have leveling at the pace the player chooses, and instead increases in level based on what area you have unlocked, or something?

That's not really true, in my experience. They see Nazis as Nazis, and Liberals as misguided and naive.

Why are you surprised that there's huge overlap between FOSS and Leftist beliefs? They go hand in hand.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

People clearly support that, and it makes sense, considering Lemmy's founder is a Communist and decentralization appeals to Leftists.

Pretty sure that's everyone's ideal, across all forms of leftism, except perhaps Le Guin's Anarchist societies she writes about.
