I’m trying to show how it could be useful for you.

If you consider the risk vs reward of having a passport, it seems like a clear calculation to me. It sounds like we agree then. It’s an extra tool you can have, not the ultimate escape plan. As I say, I believe I am mentioning it for your benefit.

It’s a little relevant to the context, but doesn’t really move the discussion forward- I admit.

I found some sources for you, here’s one:

“The chances of fleeing now were slim. Germany had conquered most of western Europe and its ally Italy was invading France in the south. One of the few escape routes left was the long, eastward one, through the Soviet Union by train. Transportation was costly and official hurdles endless. Travelers needed passports or substitute papers stamped with several kinds of permissions: one for exiting the Soviet Union and others for countries of transit and of final destination. What country would accept Jewish refugees?”

I want you to be well prepared, friend 😊

I’m willing to admit that I don’t know a lot about anarchism. I’ve tried to learn more when I have the opportunity to talk to someone about it, but I never get anything insightful.

I’d love to know more about how an anarchist society could work.

Fair enough - I stand corrected

[–] silverlose@lemm.ee 4 points 4 weeks ago

Ehh yeah that’s a whole other can of worms. By “reviews”, for me, I mean a bunch of different sources.

And I do that because you’re correct! Trust in those is low.

So “reviews” maybe isn’t the right word. Just tryna keep the comment simple.

Thanks it’s interesting history, and a good question to ask an anarchist.

I’d be really surprised if you get an actual answer though. I asked him in another thread what his idea of justice is and all he said was “well it’s not locking people in cages”. So useful. What a platform..

Ultimately I know that no matter who comes out on top here, it ain’t gunna be anarchists (pretty much by definition)

I think what you’re saying is true but perhaps you’re both talking about different things. I think you’re speaking about the reality of the situation whereas the comment OP is talking about the risk averse nature of large game studios. I don’t think it’s the same thing.

Also, I think I’m part of a growing minority but if gta 6 reviews are bad I’m not buying it until I hear it’s been fixed. I’ve been burned so many times 😭

Oh that’s dark but accurate and perfect well done sir. Please take my upvote it is all I can offer you

Just want to leave this here so others don’t need to find it

A passport is one of the most important documents you can have. It has many uses, and is relatively easy to get… at least in my country where we have government efficiency with funding— so we get it in two weeks else it’s free.

Russia? Not as far as I can tell. They seem to lose 1-1.5k people a day to lose ground. Ukraine has more tanks than the start of the war, and more of their own land back.

I think the most critical thing is manpower. AFAIK we’re not sure how many Ukrainian soldiers are left (I couldn’t find anything if you do please link it).

Recently, actually. They have no idealogical allies, no plan, no nothing. They’re not a voting block anyone cares about, nor do they have any actual positions to argue. I do not take their opinions seriously.
