This is massive "A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy" energy, except far more powerful.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

As much as I love the series, Civilization has done irreparable harm to the public's understanding of history and how technology develops. People seriously think you can just invent saddles for horseback riding even if you're in a place without horses. G*mers are going to need serious re-education after the revolution.
I still can't get over Civ II having a "corruption" stat that only appears around the time communism is invented, but if you switch to "democracy" the corruption stat is nullified.
The series is still stuck in the '90s. Belief in the End of History, Great Man, and so on. The least they could do is look into more systemic analysis and archeological discoveries involving our prehistoric ancestors.
Even the typical "science victory" ideology is propaganda, unexamined ideology that only feeds into
grifts. Go to other planet, plant flag, win, roll credits, show score.
Whitoids can't help it. In the face of interstellar travel, all they can think about is new places to colonize and settle.
One of my dearest childhood dreams and wishes was to explore the stars.
Watching that dream get monetized and monopolized by techbro manchildren trying to sell that dream back to me was crushing to watch over the years.
Communism is OP in civ 6 because it is only system which focuses on production, and production is and always was OP in Civ.
