You can’t just call an entire unit who is fighting and dying defending their country “Nazis” because of a shitty orgin story.

what do we call the actual historic Nazis then hahaha

I hate the 'You just think America is bad, so you can't possible see how [insert America's enemies here] could be bad, too!' response you can get from pretty much everyone. It's not a belief they had previously scrutinized but one they usually come up with in the moment, literal confabulation because you've raised too many points about the true evils of imperialism.

And I'm talking really hate it, bros. You will receive this response if you're being a glib asshole making hot memes, or if you've delivered a painful dissertation on your extremely niche area of special interest in which they've never even read a wiki article on. It is, from the school of thought that defaults to Harry Potter and Star Wars to understand the world, a tacit attempt to pass their refusal to engage as an enlightened wisdom, as them truly understanding the greys of the world and yourself, simply a stooge for having read more than a CNN article about the topic.

It's probably my biggest challenge in educating potential comrades because it's a cognitive hurdle for me. I'm already fighting against my brain shutting down from rage when they bring up this halfhearted debate pervert logic, how am I meant to engineer the conversation back to somewhere productive? Nine times out of ten I can't.

Reminds me of this junk article about scary North Koreans infiltrating the remote work pipeline.

Basically, North Koreans are so poor they are stealing remote jobs from Americans. This is actually very scary, because they're spies for the North Korean government. But, also, the North Korean government is lacking behind in their cyber-capabilities. Though, they're also using cutting-edge AI tactics regular people can't detect.

The article is functionally a remote working hit piece but implies many different, conflicting things about NK.

everyone has to be actively falling victim to one logical fallacy or another - dismay or disgust at western imperialism and us centric politics cannot simply be the result of an educated and considered analysis - no, it must be some sort of intellectual failing that I, very smart centered liberal man, did not fall for.

He must have thought that was so cool. I wonder how embarrassing it is to be a statesmen and have to deal with tim pool?

don't worry OP you can just adopt a survivalist lifestyle. just build a bunker lmao it's not hard. if you're in the states you're double ok because there's a billion guns so everyone can have a decent kit and operate to their hearts content. just remember to bulk order canned food and an israeli civilian gas mask. it will be just like fallout!! or maybe even stalker. how epic would that be?

something about the pronouns guy I don't think people talk about enough is that he streamed Starfield for six hours and enjoyed himself. Like he had no ill-will towards the game until he came across the clone character and had the chance for a pronouns rant. He enjoyed something, he had moments where he felt connected to the art, but the siren call of the culture war beckoned him over, and now he's still screaming about pronouns for money.
