@Jchoneandonly @jbandit91 @cliffsacord @RazorFist @KSC3971 I understand yeah it's just we were discussing whether the regime's forces remain domestically powerful so whether the US should escalate is a different topic. It seems we're on the same page about the original topic!

@Jchoneandonly @jbandit91 @cliffsacord @RazorFist @KSC3971 Huh? I'm not sure that quite responds to what I posted

[father karras @FatherKarrasT2]

@Jchoneandonly @jbandit91 @cliffsacord @RazorFist @KSC3971 Are you saying Iran doesn't have the irgc anymore? Trump's campaign severely degraded irgc external capacities, but domestic power projection stands very strong

@penis_beast I like the cyberpsychotic noises that are always going off. It contributes to overwhelming your senses as you also try to manage the simulationy controls and interface, especially in the original with no mouselook It's got some nice actual music though

@blondebombf12 All of my favorite games that are also 'old' feel very natural to me. It's easy to have a bit of patience, learn the system, and eventually acclimatize to it. So I'm not sure how you can love a game but struggle to actually play it. Same goes for older films, novels, etc.

@tragic_endings_ Wealthy diaspora that are neither white or black make things more difficult. 'White passing'? Wealthy but *not* as a result of benefiting from the settler system? Some options I guess

[father karras @FatherKarrasT2]

@tragic_endings_ I see it as analogous to how a group/system can be crudely called 'racist'. We say police are racist akin to how white people are settlers despite edge cases

I do think my attempt to steelman the woke position breaks down if we fixate on dubbing individuals as settlers

[father karras @FatherKarrasT2]

@tragic_endings_ I would add though that we recognize that there are vague boundaries for what materially counts for what is or isn't racist. We easily say that a system can be racist, such as policing, even though black people can cops. So you can make a similar argument for the term 'settler'

[father karras @FatherKarrasT2]

@tragic_endings_ Yeah, poor white people and wealthy black people are cases that make the maximal woke approach counterintuitive. It's similar to moves that redefine racism in terms of relative power so only white people can be racist which does not track how almost anyone uses the term

Cet artiste suédois, célèbre pour ses illustrations de contes, représentait des forêts mystérieuses, des trolls, des princesses et de jeunes héros partis à l'aventure. Cela ne vous rappelle rien ?

John Bauer (1882-1918) nous plonge dans un univers enchanteur, où chaque forêt semble cacher un secret et un chemin détourné, une promesse d'aventure...

[father karras @FatherKarrasT2]

@tragic_endings_ of course whether the maximal woke approach matches ordinary facts or intuition is another matter

[father karras @FatherKarrasT2]

@tragic_endings_ If we go maximally woke I guess you could say that in this sense 'settler' would be shorthand for whether you continue to reap the material benefits of the settler structure whereas black people were and remain comparatively disadvantaged as a result of that settler structure

@mhar4 Anyone that focuses on the avoidance of the risk of conflict should also be candid on how it would negatively bear on our ability to actually enact agency and sovereignty in our own region
