Yes! They patched it out of the directors cut, though. Personally I think much of the personality of the game was stripped away when we could no longer make Norman Reedus drink three full heart attack potions between each mission.

Any and all gaming projects, be they full game releases or some dudes personal mod, will be hounded by JAQing off about how communism is actually bad. There's a real smugness to it, too. Like, "whao guys I know you're having fun over here but we're all on the same page that stalin murdered my grandparents with a giant spoon, right??"

we fully atomized now son, don't got no social spaces free of the ever present pressures of modern economic system. can't even sit down to play a game or read a book without wondering if you're wasting valuable money-making time.

i have been keenly aware of how passionless and directionless i've been since i was a teenager. used to think I was just depressed but it took me a long time to realize the system is letting me down, and i shouldn't be expected to change my very human wants and needs to conform to the soul crushing market-driven system we're cursed in

Nothing gets me more 'oh great commie forefathers we have failed you' than seeing old soviet propaganda about uplifting and empowering women. I geniuenly believe we still need that to this day and absolutely loathe the placification of feminism under liberal ideologies

they're cool hacker guys who exist outside of hegemonic ideology. they're after the big guys, real cyber robin hood types. so anyway that's why they wanted to bully poorer nation :)

dudes bragging like the DoD are so impressed and 'want to know how he did it,' mf I'm sure if the US wanted to they could bully their internet as well, probably a good reason they didn't want to though

anarchism is a handy tool for radicalization. lots of people get attracted to the cool aesthetics of anarchism and that feeling of intellectual superiority you get when you can recite some obscure untested and unfounded political theory

so it's ineffective outside of the individual's ego but it does position them firmly against capital and modern statehood. if you sit in that long enough you start to build genuine hatred for the status quo. genuine hatred leads to genuine curiosity which leads to actually reading theory and uncovering the utterly absurd idealism of anarchist theory

this isn't like a codified pipeline and anarchist theory still poisons the well of a lot of western leftist discussion, but most commies I know in real life had personal brushes with anarchism in their past. and if all else fails they're still useful idiots when things get spicy. that whole 'you're alright now, it's after the revolution we'll have problems' meme.

it's not your fault that sort of crushing labor is poisonous to your soul. we're all a product of our material conditions and yours are different to others.

i struggled a lot with work myself, feeling useless for most of my life because i couldn't enjoy or even tolerate most types of labor that were available to me. there was no easy solution for me but it's not an impossible situation to escape.

the support you're going to get from your comrades on grad won't be as helpful as support you can get from your co-workers or other people immediate in your life. when I worked a factory, we had union reps visiting throughout the week. even just talking to those guys made me feel sane, though the trade union situation in my local area meant they weren't effective help, they were firm commies (that just couldn't say so in as many words.)

i hate the whole 'white women have sex with dogs' meme

it's disgusting, obviously, but it's so mean-spirited as well. like it's resentful, geniuenly hateful, due to a perceived trend that women have sex with dogs

of course almost all fetish content with animals is made at the behest of, with the involvement of, or specifically to appeal to, men.
