Christ, Putin has signed a decree yoinking St Petersburg airport. Qatar and UAE had a share in the airport after investing in it. Good job making GBS threads on future investors for Russia who probably would go back once this war is over. What a moron

Most of these dudes think that the master race theory was correct, except that Hitler was wrong in thinking it is the germans instead of [insert nationality]. See Mongolian neonazis for example.

The DooM one probably was a Nazi reference (because the creators' previous project was about shooting lots of Nazis and the Nazi swastika showed up a lot in it), so the fact that it's the "wrong" swastika just sort of proves the point.

Prolly doesn't apply to the videogame example, but a logo designer in a YouTube video once said: "You'd work really hard on a logo, then show it to a coworker for feedback, and they'd be like, 'yep, looks like a swastika', and right back to the drawing board you go"

I haven't been following for a while for my own mental well-being but I'm trying to catch up again. Is this correct: Bakhmut is still ongoing. Despite this Ukraine and Russia are also doing a similar stalemate fight at Adiivka which has been going on for a few months now with no sign of ending. Ukraine is appealing for more ammunition and guns from supporting countries but supplies aren't coming as fast as they used to. Both Russia and Ukraine are taking horrendous losses and still putting more and more men into the fight. The summer offensive petered out and now it's back to trenches and mass guns and drones. Is that about right?

Arc Hammer posted:I haven't been following for a while for my own mental well-being but I'm trying to catch up again. Is this correct: Broadly, yeah. I wouldn't say "still ongoing" because they're not really fighting in the city anymore, and I'm sure there are cities they would want to retake before Bakhmut given the choice - I'm not trying to be picky about wording, I just want to be clear about what I'm agreeing with. Similarly I think "ran out of time" might be more accurate than "petered out", but whatever. Russia's recent losses are shockingly bad - routinely 1000+ men a day, for the past six weeks or something equally horrifying. Doubtlessly Ukraine is also experiencing casualties, but far fewer since they're not doing "meat assaults" into prepared positions. Arguably, said meat assaults speak to desperation, but I have no real basis with which to push the needle either way. There is also developing news of a Ukrainian foothold on the left bank at Kherson. As far as I know they're not charging across undefended fields in the Russian-occupied back line at this point, but Russia has also proved unable to dislodge them so far, so maybe that will turn into something.

Arc Hammer posted:I haven't been following for a while for my own mental well-being but I'm trying to catch up again. Is this correct: Russia has turned Ukraine back from some of their recent gains in Bakhmut and is threatening to push out and into the rear of Ukraine's foiled attempt to pass Bakhmut in the south. Russia is slowly advancing in Avdiivka with ridiculous losses. They have the initiative across the entire front line and are making tiny gains in several locations. The only place where things look okay currently for Ukraine is Krynky, their river crossing, and that can swing wildly. Across the board Russia is taking some of the highest sustained losses of the war. I think Ukraine's best hope currently is that political reasoning pushes Russia past exhaustion in an attempt to score a concrete victory for the election.

Jasper Tin Neck posted:Some even sign up despite having enough Jewish ancestry to have moved to Israel. even orwell already complained about the word 'fascist' had lost its meaning “The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies "something not desirable"...In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.”
