  • Patriotism is a tool Communists can use to bring the backwards masses forward.

    Mao Zedong was speaking from a colonized country where nationalism and patriotism took the form of a national liberation struggle against colonial forces like the Japanese, British, French, etc… In the United States, nationalism and patriotism (footnote) is of the same chauvinist settler-colonial variety that we see in Israel, but on a larger scale.

You couldn’t swim until San Andreas and they didn’t even get good at combat mechanics until 4. give a younger person the original Vice City and they’ll say it’s unplayable. It’s like trying to play Morrowind with its tanky controls and random missing mechanics when you’re used to Skyrim.
