  • Again, you’re minimizing when faced with an inherent contradiction.

    The US is not “one country”, it is the entire security apparatus of the modern imperial core of minority nations. Every western leader is aligned with the US for legitimacy and resources. US policy dictates the global climate. The rise of reactionary fascist politics in Western Europe under Trump was not a coincidence.

    Would it surprise you to learn that the DPRK has repeatedly petioned the US to mutually dearm its nukes and the US has refused? The nuclear “button” is the entire point of this thread. It is also the way the US threatens the integrity of the entire world.



  • Are you sure that Steam is uninstalled completely from your filesystem. Steam creates a “.steam” user directory and leftover data in the directory may be conflicting with the flatpak. Delete it if it exists and then try restarting your computer. The flatpak version of steam sandboxes the .steam directory.


    As always, Steam is proprietary software and doesn’t bother to follow freedesktop standards. The support I can give can only go so far. GOG is always a better solution as it can be used with a libre client like Heroic Games Launcher or Lutris without DRM or invasive anti features. You do not need Steam to leverage Valve’s contributions with Proton and Vulkan.



  • I’ve grown up under a communist government in a socialist republic…

    Huh? That’s a very roundabout way of describing a communist state. Where do you come from specifically? You can count communist states on your fingertips.

    ideology, like all ideologies, is scary for its intolerance and disregard of human nature…

    I don’t think that’s what the word “ideology” means. Also it’s dangerous and unproductive to off-handedly remark on “human nature.” It’s a bad faith psuedoscientific buzzword that’s rooted in uncontextualized historical analysis. Nothing happens in a vacuum.

    I will therefore gatekeep any pure ideolog, just to save my own faith in humanity.

    Again, I’m not quite sure what this means. I think you’re conflating a lot of things here that just don’t make sense and I dont want to make any assumptions about you. No community can ever be immune to reactionary politics, but thats not the same as rejecting “pure ideology”




  • To most of us, we see “dictator” before we see “asian guy”. You’re not attacking the picture.

    Damn you just didn’t “see” the racism so therefore it cannot be problematic. But since President Xi is a “dictator” that must mean that people who are calling me out for racism must be the ones at fault because they’re protecting a big evil man. Most people “agree” with you so therefore it must be “not racist”.

    I can tell you never worked through dismantling racist imagery that wasn’t spoon fed to you by a 24/7 news entertainment cycle.


  • image in question

    Ah, so this is the person you’re referring to. In that case, yeah his arrest was warranted. It turns out you can’t just spread fatphobic and racist imagery around in American social media networks and not expect to eat shit.

    Posting three of the same headline piece is also meaningless, all three of them are obvious western sources. Your first post of RFA also ruined your credibility. We don’t overlook that.

    The CPC take measures to prevent reactionary content from being proliferated. This is normal for a country.

    He was also only sentenced to 6 months, hardly life shattering. Meanwhile rabid disinformation campaigns in the US are facilitated or outright encouraged by standing political officials.
