Of course, when the evil commies suggest re-education or de-radicalization of far right elements they are being evil authoritarians and are brainwashing people. No way to win with these folk. their anti-communism overrides everything else.
Some of these dudes can be salvaged, having grown up and lived around them my whole life. Smoke a bowl, drop some historical fact that’s simple but mind-blowing for joeroganites. A fun one is talking about the reality of historical Sparta, e.g. the helots at Thermopylae, compared to popular depiction. If you do it right they’ll come back to you for more wild historical stuff and then you hit 'em with them the leftie jab.
If you want to play an evil route, I recommend the Dark Urge route. It does actually provide some fun mechanical rewards for being evil, and is tied pretty interestingly into the plot. Definitely pretty edgelordy, though.
Good playthrough does seem like it has more going for it overall if only because there are just more npcs to interact with as things go on.
Different people have different perspectives about the conflict? Different discussions have different topics and histories to bring up depending on the context?
Genocide obviously does matter (I’m not sure who you are insinuating says otherwise), the commenter was discussing how the concept of genocide has been watered down largely as a means to manufacture consent for western military operations. Some people claim that Ukraine was engaging in genocide against the russian minority esp. through violence (by far right military orgs) in the east of Ukraine and legislation that suppresses russian minorities.
If you are confused you should ask some actual questions (or use the search function, find some of the effort posts). You will get genuine answers if you ask in good faith.
They were engaging in a dang whataboutism
Its a cheeky joke that is wondering why the United States has the moral authority to hypocritically police another state for actions that the USA engages in regularly and yet does not receive a fraction of the pushback.
It’s also worth pointing out, however, that the USA has been stoking the flames of Russian-Ukraine conflict for decades beginning with Operation Aerodynamics.
But as far as I can tell, you made up the false flag thing entirely because of an image that disappeared. At least that’s what I can only assume based on your other comments. No one made that claim (as far as I can see). Please link the comment of someone saying the war in Ukraine is a false flag.
Yeah that’s fair, these threads aren’t great for getting a sense of what people’s ideas are here. Especially since folks end up fairly antagonistic and the comments pile up. If you are curious, Here is a pretty good comment on the war, and I do recommend using the search function and just perusing the longer (especially sourced, read the sources!) and more effortful comments.
Yeah, I’m not sure what that is on about. If it was actually someone commenting that the war was a false flag they’d probably end up getting roasted because I don’t really know what the mechanisms for that would be. It’s possible they were talking about the pipeline attack, which depending on how they define a false flag operation could make sense (I have not spent a lot of time looking into the pipeline stuff tbf).
