Yeah but good luck getting it working reliably on modern Windows. Runs great on Linux. It’s probably the last truly great C&C game, if you ask me. C&C 3 was alright too I guess…

They exist in several countries but are most active in the US, the UK, Canada, Oceania, and Europe. Which is still, indeed, a disproportionately problematic but still relatively small part of the world, but also probably most of the userbase of Lemmy

I’m not appealing to authority at all, I was just explaining that I was a leftist because your comment seemed to suggest I was encouraging people to “give up”, which is the exact opposite of what I want. I want people to get involved in direct action, civil resistance, and yes, acts of sabotage against the regime.
I am firmly of the opinion that violence never makes anything better, but I completely understand why people, even leftists, advocate for violence. I don’t think they’re fake, or bots, I just think they are leftists who have been socialised in our mainstream media environment which teaches us that violence is a solution to our problems.
I think your response was a bit silly, and jumped to a lot of conclusions, but it didn’t hurt my feelings. I want to continue to reiterate that reforms to capitalism merely prolong it, and misuses the energy of activists which could be far better spent on actually unionizing, organizing, building solidarity, and direct action.

Yeah, you got me, clearly the only way that someone could disagree with you, is because they’re a fake bot shill with a fake account history because that’s the only plausible reality in which you could be wrong about something.
There’s definitely no way that I spent hours last week arguing against violence in a leftist memes community, because I am clearly a bot.
Give me a break.
- Comment on Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy! 6 days ago:
I am a leftist and I am advocating, as always, for solidarity across the working class, unionizing, getting organized, and participating in direct action. I encourage collective acts of sabotage and resistance against the authoritarian regime.
You can believe in false hope, or accept the reality of your situation and work towards goals which actually have a chance of succeeding, it’s up to you.

The total abolition of capitalism is the only thing that will end enshittification and fascism. Everything else is just cope and/or baby steps.
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
Whatever your beliefs are, we should all agree that nobody deserves to suffer. Even people who have done terrible things, I wish for them to be swiftly and mercifully removed from power or brought to justice with minimal suffering.
Most people in Ukraine are just powerless nobodies going about their lives. They don’t deserve to be subjected to a war. They have no real choice in how that war is waged, or if it is at all.
If anyone deserves comeuppance, it’s the ruling class who actually choose to let these events play out.

the law is optional for corporations and the rich
the law is for oppressing the poor and justifying it

He’s generating profit, that’s all that matters to the shareholders.
Is he?
Have a look at the MSFT share price
My only point is that share price and profit are not necessarily correlated, people mix them up all the time, so I try to correct that when I see it. I’m not disagreeing with your overall point - I would agree that most investors only care about the share price.
- Comment on "Microslop" trends in backlash to Microsoft's AI obsession 1 week ago:
Share price and profit are two very different beasts and only really have a loose connection to one another. Plenty of companies lose money left and right but still have high share prices.
The share price is just what the stock market feels a company is worth. It’s almost 100% vibe-based.

Yes, it’s illegal, the law absolutely would defend nazis, which is why it does not deserve our respect. Anyone who publicly breaks the law to do a good thing is a hero and deserves our respect.

Garry’s Mod is genuinely a pretty good idea, might give that a shot!

I’ve been playing through Return to Castle Wolfenstein which does go some way towards scratching that itch, ideally I’d like to have something set in a bit more of a modern era though… with that said, are the newer Wolfenstein games worth playing?

Calling Labour and/or US Democrats “captured opposition” takes away their complicity and agency.
They are just both right wing parties which do not represent your interests, and they never will.
Politics is a dead end. The only true change we will see in this world will come from revolution.

Actually, it’s stupider, the original meth subreddit made rules against posting images of drug use because reddit admins were breathing down their necks, some of the userbase deemed that censorship to be communist because something something 1984. Except, obviously, it was done because advertisers don’t want to advertise next to drug use. So it’s literally classic Americans calling the negative consequences of capitalism communism
- Comment on London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig 4 weeks ago:
it sounds a lot more like you’re the one letting israel direct your messaging than literally anyone else involved
i literally don’t give a shit what israel cries about, if I see something is from an israeli source, i reduce the amount of confidence i have in it by 99%. if i hear that something is anti-semitic, that means I need to check if it’s really anti-semitic or if it’s just thinly-veiled bullshit again. if I’m too busy, I just assume it’s bullshit.
honestly, if nothing else, it’s free press, and it might make some zionists wonder why everyone is calling them genocidal and comparing them to nazis
anyways, wishing israel a very dissolved and a happy new execution for war crimes for their state

that assumes every business which invests in AI would be bailed out, which is a huge assumption. I would guess the only businesses that would receive bailouts would be those with personal ties to the government

Under any system where people have power over others, power will begin to concentrate into fewer and fewer hands, until it becomes a problem. The only solution is anarchism.

I’m a mobility scooter user - don’t feel bad for us, these devices are incredibly liberating, in a really life-changing way.
Movies and stuff love to show disabled people as unhappy to be “stuck in a chair” but in the real world most disabled people are very thankful for their assistive technology because the alternative is never going anywhere or doing anything.
