Interesting. I guess it’s about cultural conditioning. Growing up in Scandinavia the “both sides” and subjectivist approach was more common for leftists. Especially the “your terrorist is my freedom fighter”. In contrast rightists and liberals usually insisted on exactly this two-plus-two-is-four rhetoric. As analyzing American discourse from the outside I’m still not sure if the right wingers of my Nordic childhood was right anyway, or if American leftism has regressed horrendously

I guess it’s all a matter of cultural conditioning but growing up in Scandinavia this kind of rhetoric was always associated with right-wingers and other liberals whereas “both sides” was more common for progressives and leftists. The most common I saw was the one-persons-terrorist-is-another-persons-freedom-fighter.

War crimes? Certainly. Completely disregarding civilians in a war zone? Certainly. Committing genocide? In that case it’s the most incompetent genocide of modern history. Look to Azerbaijan whose ethnic cleaning of Karabakh was extremely effective. They’ll have some ideas.

In other words you are instant banning those who deny the genocidal anti-Semitic progroms in the Levant which began in no later than the 1880’s? Fascism and supremacism should be fought in all its forms, whether Germanic, White American or Arab.

Those weren’t the first. The first modern attempt at organized expulsion of Jews were in the 1880’s. And it was quite gruesome.

I guess this means it’s fan service and doesn’t intend to tell the stories to a new audience which is fair

The criticism of SBI is often hyperbolic but there’s a real issue there. Rich people profiting off the puritanical sensibilities of the American upper middle class at time does have a negative impact on the writing of games. Management not trusting their own internal developers is usually frowned upon. That MAGA idiots are attempting to hijack this issue is not surprising, but honestly they are handed this one way too easily.

Twitter is no worse today than five years ago. But it’s certainly also no better. The discussion about which billionaires we want manipulating public discourse is outright insanity

Most of the time this exact meme is reposted by a red fascist zealot though

You’d find a lot of Scandinavians wanting this lmao

Not really. It isn’t as good as Far Harbor aeven though the world building is better and more interesting. Of course it’s way worse than Dragonborn. But it’s definitely better than Nuka World and Automaton. And also better than the Pitt and Mothership Zeta even though it’s difficult to make comparisons with Fallout 3
