goddamnedtwisto posted:It's baffling because almost all of my Twitter follows are deranged UK lefties and I'm not seeing that at all, I can only assume to him that anyone not calling for instant thermonuclear annihilation is part of Putin's neo Stalinist cyber hordes. I mean they definitely exist, I ran into two like yesterday. Here's one, I blocked the other: https://twitter.com/PolitsturmInter/status/1500071544659267587 Other hits from this one include "The Soviet Union wasn't totalitarian, all the workers loved it, actually" and "The Soviet Union loved minority ethnic groups and definitely didn't raise Russians above all others" (ask the Crimean Tatars about that one). And have some more, go on, you've been good. https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/1501453398234832898 E: The one I blocked was posting poo poo like "The only thing Stalin did wrong was not going far enough" and "When they call you a tankie, that just means the tanks are on your side, and I love sending in the tanks" Dabir fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Mar 9, 2022 |

forkboy84 posted:gently caress that, "not my beat" is a garbage excuse for ignoring the rampant misogyny & racism of Gudio until it impacted her personally. She's a typical liberal who only gives a gently caress about anything that directly impacts her. Leaving the EU? Raaaaargh mad. Folk being sanctioned by the DWP & literally starving to death, not figuratively but literally dying because the state found some minor fault and punished them for it? Not my beat. I think you've misread her here, I took that as her acknowledging it was a bad reason to not speak up. She's basically paraphrasing that "First they came for" poem.

Suspending them until the war ends, because their leadership was abducting and trying to replace elected candidates in the occupied regions? I mean if that's actually happening then I'd call that proportional.

Biggest number +1 is a safer and easier way to do things than trying to go back and fill in gaps. It's probably better for a link to be broken than valid but completely wrong.

keep punching joe posted:looks like someone doesn't really care for music. Nonsense. It would be sheer ignorance to deny that the Chrono Cross soundtrack is anything but the magnum opus of vidcon music; its lifting and oftentimes hauntingly peaceful guitar melodies soothe all but the most savage of beasts while its tense battle themes and mysterious donjon tunes ignite a blazing passion that can be quenched only by the vidcon's profound story and gameplay. It is a wonder that anyone can listen to anything besides vidcon musical compositions after listening to Mitsuda-san's immensely powerful soundtrack, but given that the primitive thuds of hip hop are America's current choice of 'music' (I use the term music liberally), one can see little hope in the mass appreciation of Mitsuda-san's work.
