Yeah, I’m right here with you. I’ve explored hundreds of systems in Elite. I get excited when I find an interesting planet. It would be really weird and immersion breaking for me if every planet was interesting.

I’m not really into playing 4x games multiplayer. But I did play Stellaris multiplayer. It can get pretty frantic if you don’t pause every now and then, but a far cry from boring.

And they have the absolute gall to blather on about how communism kills. The propaganda is infuriating.

Your country commited ethnic cleansing on my people, and you gloss over it like this while preaching about humanitarianism? Fuck you.

Do you have anything to say other than completely unfounded claims based on nationalistic nonsense?

“Kill every buffalo you can! Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone”

Oh, they knew.

I did not. The US purposefully starved my people. I don’t see that as a great contribution to global aid.

1. Because shit happens. Why isn’t everyone in the US fed? Half of your GDP should surely feed the people.
2. I read in a book once that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
3. You’re a fucking idiot.

They aren’t.

1. Why do you think they didn’t? They just voted for it at the UN.
2. Okay then, China if you want most overall.
3. Yes

Stop lying and be a better person.

1. Their own.
2. Norway.
3. The US.

EDIT: Yeah, you’re right. It is obvious.

I didn’t spend too much time on it, and it could probably be done better. I just used free web tools to download the video and autogenerate subtitles. The text at the section I mentioned says this:

с азиатами наизусть меньше и меньше культура и

ценности нашей ключевой минус России.

Fed into google translate, we get this:

with Asians by heart less and less culture and

the values ​​of our key disadvantage of Russia.

Again, results weren’t great (which is why I didn’t post them the first time. Someone with more time on their hands could do better). But it hits a lot of the same words as the native speaker’s quote, and it seems to indicate something racist is being said. The first auto-subtitler I used was completely useless, the second was “good enough” for my purposes. I have no reason at all to believe that the original translation was fake, and this didn’t contradict the original translation.

If I were to try a third time, I would probably upload it to youtube and try using their tools, but I didn’t really want to upload it to my youtube account. Google’s natural language processing is pretty good.

Now you see, THIS is whataboutism. The point here is that we have a leader in the current Ukrainian government who comes out and says that he considers Russians to be subhuman. You come up with a baseless claim that we think all Ukrainians are nazis. We think that the current government of Ukraine is dangerously far right and descended from actual nazi collaborators. You don’t want to hear it because it doesn’t fit your world view.

You might also be interested that I translated it using AI. Results weren’t great, but language used around the 26 second mark matches the translation in the tweet pretty well. You can do this yourself instead of just calling it fake and lashing out at the left.

I think this is my favourite comment in this thread. The clear logical fallacy of it without a shred of self reflection legitimately made me laugh for minutes. Well done.

What, the truth?

You said the quiet part out loud. The USA really does represent a gangster.

Listing data for 2023 as proof of me lying. Cute. How about going back a couple of years? But no, I’m lying about everything, and Cuba not being able to buy parts they needed is totally their fault. I’m done with this. You can continue defending your murderous country in peace.

Not being able to trade in USD is a huge issue, as it means you are blocked from SWIFT. When it’s stated that you have to use a different currency, it means a whole different trading mechanism. Which may or may not exist/work for your business. And if the US decides to cut your access to SWIFT completely, then you’re effectively out of business.

You could argue that the US should not have this much power over world trade, and I would agree with you. But you’re not. You’re blaming the Cubans for not being able to buy the replacement parts they needed, because the US totally isn’t interfering with their trade. Not to mention the absolute inhumanity of this position. When the US suffered from hurrican Katrina, Cuba didn’t hesitate to offer aid. When Cuba’s main oxygen plant breaks during a pandemic? Apparently the American people show their humanity by cheering. And you feel this is just. I feel like you’re just being willfully obtuse at this point.
