I was wondering which line is most likely to come in. I think the middle row is a good bet in the earlier seasons (they had the CG inside body thing in basically every one)
Also maybe the top left to bottom right diagonal, but the blurry patient vision thing is not that common
There are a bunch of voters so wishy washy that they go from voting republican to voting democrat from election to election (even post 2016!), and centrists’ solution is to be just as wishy washy to attract them?
These people shift with the god damn wind. Don’t be a weather vane, be a fucking hurricane.
Yeah I was expecting a much worse price. Unfortunately I’m not ready to update my console yet, so I won’t buy on release like I did with V. But you can bet I’ll get it as soon as I upgrade.
To the people complaining about the stories in GTA games:
Rockstar made Red Dead 2. Great characters. Great story. Great writing. You haven’t played VI yet, the story could be awesome.
Some people just like to have fun. I play loads of story-focused games, narrative based, lore-rich, all types. But it’s still fun to drive around and shoot shit while listening to silly fake radio stations sometimes. Not everything has to be a thought-provoking artistic experience. Give me sticky bombs and a rock/punk station and I’ll be happy for hours.
Yes it’s overhyped. But it will be fucking awesome nonetheless
“And yet, I will still say that stopping this war and getting out of it is the best that we can do at this point,” he continued. “And so that’s why we are still hoping for a deal, even though we have to admit it’s a losing deal for America.”
So he doesn’t want it to continue. He just decided to publicly insult Trump’s fragile little ego as a way to… get him to commit to the deal?
Anyway in about 4 days Trump will be threatening to blow them back to the stone age again so it doesn’t even matter
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and your ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Av a proper gander at that word innit
“Extending” is the key word here. You aren’t extending any power if it’s your own nation, it would be the other party who did that.
Anyway, thanks for the link, I’ll check it out!
Kicking someone out is not “extending power over foreign nations.” That is “resisting foreign nations trying to extend power over you.”
You’re being ridiculous and clearly not taking the definition as intended. Your definition is the problem here
Ok thanks.
Your definition seems a little cherry picky. Ignoring the obvious role of hard power and over-focusing on capital seems like a mistake. But I don’t know enough anyway. Wiki’s definition makes more sense to me
Would Russia be imperialist if everything was the same except they had more finance capital and less commodities trade?
Hmm OK. I don’t think you really addressed my question but it’s fine. Everyone’s imperialist. Except Russia of course, famously progressive Russia.
Anyway, thanks for explaining what you meant
So Russia with more finance capital and less commodities trade would be imperialist, but the way it is, they aren’t?
I think I get what you’re saying now. But it seems so arbitrary. Why should I give a shit who’s imperialist by this specific definition? It would basically make 0% difference to how much Russia is a problem for the world
I see where you’re coming from now. I think if you define imperialism in that way, it makes sense that you would consider all of those countries imperialist.
When markets are fully saturated domestically, capital expands outward. Once industrial and bank capital grow, they merge and dominate the entire economy, resulting in the dominance of finance capital in the economy …
But this whole description seems weird to me. Are there any powerful capitalist countries that could avoid this?
And I still don’t think Russia could possibly escape this definition. They have BRICS and are a major oil trader. They physically are trying to occupy another country right now. They use Russian language and state media to influence Eastern European countries in particular.
The EU is a coaliton of right-wing imperialist states, this is true.
Not really all right wing but perhaps compared to your politics. Or mine tbh
Russia isn’t imperialist
I’m confused about this. I checked to see if I had the right definition, just in case, and this is wikipedia’s:
imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power and soft power.
How does this not perfectly describe what Russia is doing in Ukraine?
Do you have an alternative definition you’re working with?
“Many of them”
“Either in power or coming to power”
“Rely on”
The claims have changed so much it seems that you also disagree with the meme at this point.
If you felt the need to add all those qualifiers (not wrong, btw), then it’s clear that you wouldn’t describe the EU as an “imperialist nazi state” either.
And that’s before we ask other things, eg why Ukraine and not Russia?
Because it’s dumb propaganda
“Nazi state”
Looks inside
Contains 27 states, most of which are not nazi-run
Completely and utterly stupid.
Clearly the EU is an imperialist nazi state made up of multiple different independent nations generally not following fascism and being members on a purely voluntary basis. Did you not receive your shipment of tankie crack this week, comrade?
Yeah literally.
Although depending on context it may also be that you did something really bad, lol
Otherwise it means they think you can take a joke and probably like you at least a bit. If you’re out drinking and it’s said with a smile, you’re officially one of the boys for the night
The worst thing about this is when you actually get the money together but then afterwards you’re too broke to get the run off the ground. It needs something good to copy or it’s just dead weight.
Baron is definitely the worst offender for this because it sucks on a new run
