I'm glad to see the gatekeepers, get called out on their own bullshit and caught red handed.
Federal government worried extremists recruiting through video games
A briefing note on a popular modified game reveals another way terror groups spread their message online
Finally pulled the trigger on buying the game for this mod. Hopefully I get to play as a forever republic Bidenist and a benevolent Loji.
Note: I don’t actually want to be rule by AI no matter how kind is it as that means they have power over me and could stop radical life extension and human biotechnology to stop threats to its power. Also The forever republic means a less dynamic America in the long run as nothing lasts forever and we may get an evolved or different versions of democracy that may be better.
Oh hey, depending on your time zone, it's the 2nd of May, and thus the 71st anniversary of a rather large group of Soviets getting together and getting the Reichstag a new flag.
After they directly allied with the people in the Reichstag to steal Poland and only fighting them because Hitler betrayed them rather than because they had any objections to Germany’s evil. I’m faxt the evil was probably the part they liked.

Granted, though a big part of Hitler's evil was his desire (or at least stated desire he went through on possibly for political reasons) to kill communists, which they probably weren't so keen on, calling themselves communists and all. Regardless of everything else, the taking of the Reichstag, at least, gets a plus.
The Soviets wanted to assist Czechoslovakia in repulsing Nazi Germany; Poland decided it would rather take a piece of Czechoslovakia for itself.
Later, the Soviets wanted to construct an antifascist alliance with the UK and France; the UK and France said no and then, as if to underline their intention to let the Soviet Union fight Hitler alone, barely did anything before the French were entirely defeated. The Soviets defeated fascism, and Hades and bluegate will never forgive them for it.
The narrative where we Whitewash Russia's crimes to paint them as the great hero might have served a point once when we wanted to be friends with them or at least not in open conflict. But now Russia has become the main heir and spreader of fascism the point where that narrative had any use is long since gone. The very fact Russia can even degrade themselves into becoming the chief fascist country shows their problem with Germany was never ideological. They do not have a problem with Nazi's only with that time they attacked Russia.
And ultimately that changes nothing about them allying with the Nazi's to steal Poland and allowing Germany to bring its full might to bear against the rest of Europe. If the invasion of Poland was the starting point of the European front then Russia schemed with the Nazis to let it happen, and their non aggression pact escalated it beyond what it might have otherwise become. That is the aspect the world should never forgive Russia for. That and occupying half of Europe when the war was done.
Ask him about the other Allies from WWII. One can't help but notice they allied with all the capitalists (who are themselves fascist from Stalin's perspective), ushering in an era of capitalist (fascist?) dominance across the globe.
Starmer's basic plan is not unreasonable.
Plenty of evidence suggests that what provided an opening for the far right in Britain was the collapse of public services. The economic crash hammered the economy, but Reform's predecessor UKIP grew because of the Tory austerity 2010-2015 where they pared back the social services, healthcare, etc. People can understand things being shit to a degree, but when the government gives up supporting them, that's when they turn. So, in theory at least, fix this stuff again, people might be more content (they also might not, because it could be more like a dam being breached and that water isn't going back.)
Starmer could survive as a dull manager who delivered. However, he's not delivering, and has conspicuously made serious errors of judgement. I understand why he doesn't want to go: if he does, he will forever be deemed a failed PM, but he thinks if he can cling on, in a few years things will be better and he will be vindicated - even if he's sent packing anyway by his party or the wider electorate. But the point also comes that he's so damaged that there's no way back.
I would also not underestimate that a major problem is the backing that the far right have. There's massive money behind Reform: it's not just Elon Musk, dodgy crypto barons, nationalist grifters and the like, but it's the same logic that German business backed Hitler: backing corrupt authoritarians who say they'll give you what you want is better than leftists who suggest regulations and taxes. Plus all the toxic tech algorithms, and the fundamental degradation in the quality of information on which the public make political decisions.
They 'occupied' the then-socialist half of Europe in the same way that the United States did: by creating governments in their own image. Those same governments, after the restoration of capitalism, are not significantly more democratic than they were before that restoration. Indeed, if you look at the status of women in the German Democratic Republic vs. Germany after the fall of the Soviet Union, they took some steps backward.
But the reintroduction of a family structure in which women must depend financially on men quietly flies under the radar as an issue of 'democratic' concern in the West; the only question that matters is "can you vote for representatives"? This is a 'democracy' so tame and pacified that the capitalist class can be comfortable keeping it as a pet.
