Probably the most popular game ever here in the Balkans. It's a thing where we were so little here and obviously didn't know a lick of English, we would just type in cheats and blow shit up. It's so culturally relevant, there are still Balkan multiplayer servers even to this day.

Take care of your mental health first and foremost. You'll probably need it much more for actual revolutionary action in the future. Even as an optimist who is willing to entertain the thought of converting liberals to our cause, these people are I'm afraid too far gone in their Putin/China derangement syndrome. The best antidote for posts shitting on hexbear, is to just come here, lurk on it for awhile, and make up their own minds. It certainly helped me when at first, I too as an anarchist was quite skeptical of this place and thought it was some exclusive hangout of dem dirty "tankies". But after lurking here for awhile, I realized this place was not only good, but much better than shit like .world and other instances. Not to mention being a history buff, and reevaluating my positions based on a lot of comments I saw here, realizing that although mistakes certainly were made among socialist movements throughout history (famines in ukraine, the four pests) ultimately these movements did a lot more good than bad throughout and ultimately caught up to the west, even though the aforementioned had a 100 year head start and exploited and pillaged half the world to get where they are now.

Don't let their idiocy stress you out for even a millisecond of your life. At this point, I genuinely think you would have an easier time convincing hillbilly rednecks who actually deny us imperialism, rather than these liberals with cognitive dissonance who know all too well, but the just say "at least we're not the gommunists who killed 74 quadrillion uyghurs in tiananmen square!".

To quote Uncle June, "Some people are so behind in a race that they actually think that they're leading"

The most diabolical was the one to whom you literally linked sources, yet he literally just refused to use his brain and read (he actually can't and/or he has an attention span of less than 5 seconds)

I would just like to salute comrade Cowbee for embarking on a Herculean, dare I say Sisyphean task of arguing with liberals in lemmy.world. During his quest of trying to find out if liberals have even just one functional, many of his brain cells fell.

Isn't Trump kinda the one to bring that about tho? Idk much about howard dean, but I assume he was at least somewhat respected as a politician beforehand. With that scream, in a kind of patriarchical society creating a mythos of education and prestige around politicians, revolving around political etiquette that scream is simply seen as infantile and unserious. Trump entered politics as that kind of infantile and unserious candidate in the first place, being a cartoonish, stereotypical, Saul Goodman-esque figure. In the end, it's all about expectations that people set. Nobody believed agent orange would win, but in the end he did because he represented a kind of tonal shift in american politics, not to mention straight up saying what all these bourgeois politicians already believed anyway. In the same way LGBTQIA+ want to practice their sexuality without the fear of being killed, beaten or prosecuted, that is the same way in the opposite direction in which fascists want to freely express their racist, sexist, homophobic views without any consequences. Trump said these things out loud, and republicans found him 'cool' because he didn't beat around the bush, at least in the public, about their true beliefs.

Ultimately, Trump isn't some anomaly. He's just a natural unmasking of the fascist paradigm of amerikkka.

I mean, I had to optimize my playstyle in eu4 to actually use all the money I always accumulate lol, and realized mana is a much better resource. I also tried playing M&T 3.0, which is also very econ heavy, but my main problem outside of the lag is the UI being an absolute clusterfuck and not really being able to navigate it. EU4 just really isn't designed for that type of shit, so with EU5 being centered around pops and not mana, it's hopefully gonna be a lot more complex in a good way, with a UI you will actually be able to understand.

 

Basically title. Ever since my father died when I was at the young age of 9, my life has been on a downward trajectory. I got bullied at my middle school. I contracted some unknown disease related to my stomach which manifests itself through taking my energy away and making me depressed (also a lot of growling, gasses, diarrhea cuz of nervousness when I went to school and had an exam etc.). Of course the healthcare system in my third world prison has no idea what the fuck is going on. I tried both private and public healthcare, and both of them basically told me to fuck off.

Then after that, because I at the time lived with my grandma, and she got some unknown virus that caused her liver to shut down, even though she made it in the end, I was still forced to relocate to my mom and stepdad's house. This probably was the worst period of my life, mainly because of this asshole. First off, he didn't physically assault me, at least not until the very end. No, he instead constantly kept arguing with me about absurd conspiracy theories, even forcing me to stay late into the night, even though I had school early in the morning. Like, it got so bad, I kept avoiding eye contact with him at all costs, lest I wanted to trigger an unskippable NPC cutscene, filled with gay lobbies and anti-vax nonsense. Then he gradually started restricting stuff like the PC, not because I did anything bad, but because I correctly pointed out that no, warmups wouldn't have made a difference in my ankle sprain when I landed awkwardly. At the end he pushed me because of some stupid lie I made up so I wouldn't have to talk with him, causing me to start planning to get out of there as soon as I can.

And I ended up doing so, in fact, I went out with style, as I was going to first celebrate New Year's eve with my friends in the capital city, and only then would I relocate to my old home. That was, in the last 10 years, probably the only point where I thought I might actually be able to have a normal life, friends, a girlfriend, confidence in myself and maybe even figure out what the fuck was happening in my guts. But of course, If that did happen, I wouldn't be writing this story now, would I? So of course after about 2-3 months of me arriving from that trip and back home, I get into a spat with my friends because of, as Tony Soprano would say, "normal teenage shit". I didn't do so well being on alcohol the last 2 times we went out, so they thought I couldn't control myself and whatnot (completely ignoring the 2 other times where I was completely fine). We make up in the end, but they basically ice me out of the friend group, giving me no choice but to cut them off completely.

And so, here we are. After all that I really was already starting to feel pretty fucked up. No father, health, friends etc. But what really got me deep in depressing thoughts was the fact I was basically forced to enroll in some dipshit local college, which I was pretty much SPECIFICALLY trying to avoid. I simply can't fucking stand going to this same fucking town for 4 more fucking years after high school. It's like, at this point I have nothing to cling on to. Even my education, where I was pretty much a straight A (except we grade with numbers 1-5, so a 5) student throughout, which I thought would give me at least some form of agency over my life, has proven to be completely useless due to some bullshit, random factors outside my control.

TL:DR - I'm not really sure what to do. At this point, I just want someone to talk to, and not exactly some reactionary lib morons from reddit-logo. Basically, in my rural area, there really aren't any jobs except seasonal ones. So I would really like some help in that sense, especially in tech, since I'm already pretty deep in and I use linux pretty much everywhere (also reading Linux for beginners, but goddamn if I didn't start it like 3 times and never finished it, at least I kept notes last time so I can just catch up). Any help is sincerely appreciated. meow-hug
