  • Political labels are pointless. Because the meaning changes depending on the perspective of the person giving the definition.

  Words do have meaning, political labels included, changing meaning of them depending on the context is usually a sign of dishonest arguments. ‘Left’, ‘right’, ‘progessive’ ’ conservative’ and the like are defined terms that carry meaning. People trying to change those are most often trying to shift the perception of reality, for example calling Hitler ’ left wing’ is clearly revisionist nonsense trying to white wash their own agenda.

  • “Conservatives” ala Donald Trump, MAGA, Ted Cruz. Would be better described as "Regressives ". (Because they pine for time that didn’t really exist in the 20th Century).

  From Wikipedia: Conservatism has varied considerably as it has adapted itself to existing traditions and national cultures.[…] Conservatism may be either libertarian or authoritarian,[14] populist or elitist,[15] progressive or reactionary,[16] moderate or extreme.[17]

  Simply put ‘Conservative’ is just the family name, the currently governing conservative flavor in the US you could call regressive, true, but in other areas of the world you might not.

  • Dismissive terms are all that you need to sway the opinion of a trumper (call something “woke” and BAM!. You’ve convinced them.).

  No argument here. Punchlines are always easy especially if they meet frustrated minds.

  • All USA media talking heads (specifically talking about podcasters and news shows, not talking about non verbal). Are propaganda which its users are addicted to. (Outrage addiction)

  It’s a lot more complicated than that I’d say, but a lot of it fits the description, fair enough.

  • The word “Christian” is now synonymous with hate and bigotry. I’ve made the distinction to now call people who are religious (Christianity) “Followers of Christ”.

  Similar to the first point ‘Christian’ is just the family name, I think what you’re trying to describe are ‘Christian nationalists’, with emphasis on nationalist.

  I haven’t paid much attention but from what I can gather it used to be a ‘legitimate’ conservative community, where some people posted outrageous bs, think of reddit s r/thedonald sub. A couple of days ago some people noticed that there are no mods anymore in the community, for whatever reason, so the shit posting, cons trolling began and the community all of a sudden bloomed.

  I’d reckon there aren’t many of them original folks around anymore, thankfully. Just scroll down, it was a very trashy community, celebrating deaths from miscarriages and such.

  I had that in Germany once or twice, but it was always that I’ve put the request in on short notice, we were a pretty small team, so three people at once wasn’t quite possible. But it was always the young parents planning a vacation during school holidays with their kids, so I understand that this collided and took my vacation outside those holidays.

  It even runs much better on the same hardware.

  That’s great news, I was worried about performance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Kingdom Come Deliverance II releases, what are your memories of the first title?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The beginning, where you are fleeing on horseback along that creek into the valley. I was amazed how real the terrain felt to me, it wasn’t just designed terrain, with random hills, valleys and forests, it felt naturally, alive to me.

  The creek split the valley, which was in the beginning soft hills with a light forest on them, the deeper you got into that valley the terrain gradually became rougher, with big boulders and cliffs. RDR2 had a similar feel of terrain that just felt more naturally than in most games.
