Oh I was wondering if someone had uploaded that series for free! Thanks!

All this game’s sprites are incredible. There’s some other bangers with cops in the same area.

Well said!

That’s exactly the revolutionary strategy I think about regarding electoralism! Cool to see it in someone else’s words, very well put.

It’s a strange game. You sometimes have to join these movements because they can motivate and educate “regular people”, ie. people that aren’t yet as politically educated and radicalised as you might be. You have to go where people are, if it’s useful. You have to be with them, not condescending, not a bitter asshole, not pestering or complaining all the time, you have to do the work and stand with them, so they respect and trust you.

BUT, you also know electoralism almost certainly won’t succeed or won’t do much. Your goal is to educate and agitate, by genuinely being there and helping out. You also shouldn’t hide your views and your opinions. You can be polite, diplomatic about it, but you shouldn’t lie, you have to be honest about what you think will happen, what will or won’t work.

BUT, if you’re just helping cynically expecting everything to fail and you’re just there opportunistically to agitate and nothing else, people will know, they’ll notice or feel it. You have to, somehow, genuinely help these local things and genuinely try to win, even partially. Push as hard as you can. Even if you know it won’t work, but just because you are here to help other people fight, to activate them and educate them.

If you lose, they’ll learn from their mistakes and get wiser, and they’ll trust you for having stood shoulder to shoulder with them despite your disagreements or misgivings.

If you win, a lot of people will get incredible motivation and hope, and you’ve got some energetic and trained people that can do good work. Some of them won’t go further, some of them will stop caring, but every little crumb of improvement you can get, every little fight you can win, brings people with you.

No i’m not against the criticism and electoralism is extremely limited and mostly dumb, I’m just tired of seeing everyone frothing at the mouth on this topic every time. I really do not care THAT much about Mamdani, I’ll see if he’s elected and what he does/is pressured to do after that. All the media theater can be important but the defending AND the criticism seems kind of obsessive, like both people critiquing and defending are putting way too much energy and importance into those little things.

I don’t have a stake in this tho so maybe it’s very important, idk.

From outside the US, i think people need to log off. He’s literally not “done” anything, there’s no falling for anything (yet). But it certainly doesn’t seem very useful to panic every time he shows that he’s… a demsoc. I never saw anyone pretend he was anything more than that.

Your elections are pretty fucked, best you can expect is to educate and agitate, and find relatively better footholds locally by improving local laws and conditions, as best as you’re able. All the political theater of election cycles and all the media stuff before someone is elected, that’s all pretty dumb imo. It’s theater, it’s media strategy, it’s fucking tiring and it’s not very productive to obsess about.

So happy. Finally! Huge thanks to all the comrades in france who have fought for his liberation for years, decades, relentlessly. Thanks to LFI especially for being part of that fight massively in recent years.

I don’t remember, but we may have been in different timeslots, I was in VC in western Europe hours.

Wait was it a report from the FBI or cops and them struggling to get into those groups because they had to read theory? I do remember that!

Oh shit I was a regular in the voice chat that birthed TPP, wonder how everyone is doing nowadays! Singing communes song and reading theory was fun.

Been here since the start, was on the ark discord before

cool quote, where’s it from?

In the final analysis, no matter how radically anti-system the thinker appears to be, understanding society in terms of on the one hand rebels and on the other masses controlled by elites turns out to be a particular instance of a more general tendency: liberalism.

Edit: Ah i fucking knew it sounded familiar, it’s red sails of course : https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/

Yea i basically have stopped using any specific site/thing for discovery. I just kinda look around when I fancy, hear something somewhere and find it, check out the discography of that band, look into what people also like, etc. I don’t rely on algorithms basically. Maybe the emails I get from bandcamp sometimes based on stuff i’ve already bought or groups/people I already follow.

The downside is that since I don’t even listen to radio or follow specific influencers/recommendations, I feel like a weird hermit, I don’t really know of an artist or their music unless i’ve randomly come across them, even extremely popular stuff everyone’s heard about. But it’s no big deal, I still find plenty of cool things.

This is basically aimed at preventing second hand smoking for children, so its public places where children tend to be.

Good honestly

Yep, that palestinian MEP is Rima Hassan from LFI! God I love her. Hope they all make it out okay.

Man I hated star wars before and had to be convinced multiple times to watch this. One of the best tv shows i’ve ever watched, abolutely incredible. Star wars will never be this good again.

I will remember Nemik’s manifesto. And I keep coming back to the Past/Present Suite.

What? That’s his name, i don’t know what else to call him, mister piker? I barely watch a part of a stream once in a blue moon, sheesh.

Maybe this is being said in a joking way but i’m gonna be real I really don’t appreciate this kind of comment, weird thing to say and a weird way to say it, not the vibes i’m used to on hexbear.

same, i sometimes put on his stream if there’s something interesting going on but mostly that type of content and the constant derailment by chat annoys me. His message is good and i’m glad he gets people on the right track.

I don’t think he’s lenin at all. I think he does a good job agitating and educating, that’s it. That’s much more than most people can claim to do. I disagree that he leads leftists back into the democratic party, then again i’m not american, but that sounds nonsensical to me.

It’s when I see people here say shit like “he’s a fed” and thinking he may be “making this up” that I’m reminded a lot of people here need to touch grass and do a bit of a reality check lmao.

Hasan is good. This is not surprising. He’s doing well to talk about it and make noise about it.

If its on sale maybe I’ll try, if its not too long tho. RPGs basically have to have perfect writing and a very interesting and original plot/concept for me to enjoy them, otherwise I get bored pretty quick.

Gameplay looks cool and like it tries to avoid being grindy and repetitive which is rad.

But yea I guess my writing standard for rpgs is very high, that or it has to be very short.
