Isn't that like the point? The whole movie is visualization of the propaganda speech that the narrator (Dilios) is making before the battle of Plataea.

Well, the guy is technically right that the gas chambers in Auschwitz today are fake - because they are replicas. None of the original chambers and crematories survived the liberation of the camp, so they were rebuilt for the museum based on the designs and blueprints the nazis had in their extensive document archive.

They never had an Empire as the Soviet Union.

But they did. That's why Mao called them social imperialists.

As for NATO, it's to ensure western imperialism stays intact. The US is the main beneficiary, but western Europe participates because they also profit from brutal exploitation of the global south.

That just brings into question how NATO is a threat to Russia then? The only way that would be true is that either a) Russia sees them as imperialist competition, or b) the threat is that Russia can't attack its neighbors without retribution.

Why do you think Russia invaded Ukraine? Like, what is their primary goal. The impetus that drove them to approve the invasion.

Because they want to become a global power once again. That is their dream. They want to be imperialists themselves, but unfortunately for them, they have failed to do so. In the past decades they have poked their noses into Africa and the Middle East, with some success. But simultaneously they have lost their grip on regions they previously considered to be under their imperialist umbrella. It started with Georgia, which they solved with violence. Next it was Ukraine, and then Syria. And then all the unrest in Belarus. They got spooked that their imperialist dream was failing, so they went in to change the regime in Ukraine. But that didn't work out as they planned. And to top that, they also lost their foothold in Syria completely. And now, just recently, they are losing Azerbaijan too.

Secondly, what do you think the functioning role of NATO is?

Honestly, it is to protect US geopolitical interests in Europe. Making Europe depend on the US for its defense. But it is not that bad of a deal for Europe, as it keeps the peace (in "western" Europe).

He titled himself as the chief engineer of SpaceX. And this is no joke.

The protagonist was wrongly imprisoned

The protagonist claimed to have been wrongly imprisoned. That's one of the greatest hooks of the film imo, we the audience want to believe he was innocent, but if looking at the case objectively, he could have been guilty as well. I would even say it was probable. Andy even admits he went to confront his wife, armed and intoxicated, but claims he fell asleep on the driveway, while some other guy went into the house and did the killings. With the same type of bullets his gun used, which also mysteriously disappeared from his possession.

That's not enough, still. It should directly affect the rank too. Get low on behavior score, not only everything they already do, you will also start going down. Because rank is everything to those toxic people, it is the only thing that drives their toxicity.

The problem with mobas, and most modern multiplayer games, is the visible rank system. Back in the day, with only community hosted servers, people were playing for fun. Then multiplayer shifted to publisher hosted servers where you started playing with one click on the menu. To keep the matches interesting, you needed a system to matchmake fair lobbies, so here comes the ranking. But they made a mistake by making the rank public, because now the players are no longer playing for fun, they are playing to raise their rank - and losing even lowers their rank.

Feminism is a tool of the ruling class, like racism. A way to turn the working class against each other instead of the ruling class, the owners. That's why they give feminism so much space in the media and in universities, because it doesn't really touch the real issues of the world, the billionaires and millionaires exploiting everyone and everything. It doesn't threaten their rule over the world, by design.

My sex wasn't allowed to vote in my country 120 years ago either - because only the nobles, the landowners, the priests and the bourgeois were allowed to. Most of the people, regardless of sex, were not allowed to vote.

Has a dual citizenship of Finland and the USA, so still a European citizen too.

Well, Nato did expand toward them, Sweden and Finland, and what did Russia do? Did they immediately start strengthening their defences against these new Nato countries? Nope, on the contrary, the baltic bases are near empty of forces. It is concrete proof that Russia does not see Nato as a real threat, they know fully well that Nato will not be the aggressor. The whole Nato expansion excuse is the propaganda, and you are eating it.

Remember Chamberlain? He made his allies submit to german concessions because that would maintain peace. Fast forward five years and we had 40+ million more dead Europeans and the continent bombed to rubble.

Valve isn't pulling any anticompetitive moves though.

Well, they are allegedly forcing price parity on publishers, so they can't sell cheaper on their own website or some other storefront that takes smaller cuts. That's anticompetitive as shit, and they are being sued over it.
