Starting to think they know the game is going to fail and not live up to the hype, so get as much money out of it as you can while you can.

The game is going to sell well, but I don’t think it’s going to be a cashcow like GTA V Online, they already tried that with RDR 2 and failed. It’s just another boring movie like game.

Wonder if they’ve used AI slop in development

They 100% did, which is why they layoff a lot of their workers who were trying to make a union.

I have seen one of these some days ago, and he was comparing the Soviet Union/Communism to Christianity (??), I guess he’s one of those esoteric pagan nazis?

These people don’t see Bengals or Asians as human beings, to them only White European people are humans.

On November 25, 1970, after a failed attempt to stage a coup at a military base in Tokyo, famed Japanese author Yukio Mishima committed seppuku (ritual disembowelment). Mishima’s designated kaishakunin (the assistant meant to behead him with a katana to end his agony) was a 25-year-old student and militia follower named Masakatsu Morita. Morita lacked experience, panicked, and struck Mishima’s shoulders repeatedly without severing his head.

After multiple failed attempts by Morita, another follower, Hiroyasu Koga, stepped in and cleanly decapitated Mishima. Distraught by his inability to successfully execute his duties, Morita then attempted seppuku himself but only managed a shallow cut. He too was subsequently beheaded by Koga so he wouldn’t suffer.

Yes. Afaik, the guy that was supposed to cut his head failed to do so and had to try again and again. And then the guy decided to commit seppuku himself after that.

Maradona was also pro-Palestine.

Do you think we should think of the catholic church as a possible ally or would that be counterproductive?

Very unlikely due to how conservative and reactionary the church currently is (they curbed any attempt by left-wing priests to reform the church in the 1970s - 1990s), but not impossible. The church influences the life of many people in the Global South.

Do you think anti-religion is fundamental to Marxism?

Do you think the anti-religious stance of the Soviets was a mistake?

Helder Camara had an opinion on that;

Câmara identified himself as a socialist and not as a Marxist, but while disagreeing with Marxism, had Marxist sympathies. In the Fallaci interview, he stated, “My socialism is special, it’s a socialism that respects the human person and goes back to the Gospels. My socialism is justice.” He said, concerning Marx, that while he disagreed with his conclusions, he agreed with his analysis of the capitalist society.

"Helder Camara never denied his communist sympathies and he openly supported dialogue with communists. He believed in the Fátima apparitions but he interpreted its call for the “conversion of Russia” as meaning that the Soviet Union would abandon its anti-religious policies but will not be rejecting communism. He wrote: “And what was the appeal of Fatima for? … Not for the annihilation of the USSR and China, but for their conversion … In 1967, the Russian Revolution will celebrate its jubilee … We must accelerate the pace, there is no more time to waste”.

In a poem dedicated to French Dominican priest Louis-Joseph Lebret, Câmara states his belief that Karl Marx is in Heaven, and has him decorating Lebret of behalf of Jesus Christ.

If you’re interested in the opinion of Catholic Socialists I recommend reading or looking for interviews of Hélder Câmara, Leonardo Boff, Gustavo Gutiérrez, Jon Sobrino. Theres also some left-wing Catholic Priests who got elected as presidents under a Democratic Socialist platform like Fernando Lugo (Paraguay) and Jean-Bertrand Aristide (Haiti).

Saddam sucked, he was way better than what came after him and did unite Iraq, but he was deeply involved with the US and the West in sabotaging Iran and regional left-wing movements. He is a bit like the Manuel Noriega of the Middle East, though Saddam was more genuine about his own ideology than Noriega.

For how he is viewed in LatAm, he was seen as a good president in the 1980s because he was “fighting radicals” and because he was one of the few leaders to give aid and trade with us during a time the US and Europe pulled out all money from here. After his fall, his position was mostly replaced by Iran and Erdogan, both still shares a good relation with the Latin American Left. Gaddafi still is seen positively to this day, unlike Saddam.

I think it was a weird false flag shit, they kept using that to create some weird conspiracy theory to say that the left-wing peronists were the “real terrorists” bc they were protecting Iran. Meanwhile they ignore the actual terrorism and massacre of jews by the Far-Right 1970s - 1980s juntas.

The Fate of the Furious (Fast & Furious 8, 2017) made history as one of the first major American studio films to shoot in Cuba following the easing of travel restrictions between the U.S. and Cuba. The production filmed intense, high-speed car racing scenes in Havana, featuring iconic local classic cars and utilizing the Malecón promenade as a, track. The Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC) worked to secure permissions, handling official requests with stamped letters to navigate governmental bureaucracy.

The government allowed the production to shut down multiple city blocks in Havana, including major thoroughfares like the Malecón for the “Cuban Mile” opening race. The government granted access to shoot at Hemingway’s home, a popular, restricted museum. While initially cautious, the government permitted the first American helicopter with a camera to fly over Havana for filming, notes director F. Gary Gray. The government facilitated the project by lending military weapons for specific scenes.

The production created jobs for Cubans, including drivers, producers, and personal assistants. ICAIC, which supports up to 15 foreign productions yearly, viewed the project as an opportunity to boost the local film industry.

The SPD, a party of social democrats and democratic socialists, had a fruitful period of cooperation with the KPD, the Communist party until the KPD received marching orders from their new boss in Moscow in 1928, the newly ascendant Stalin, to refuse to cooperate with the ‘social fascists’ of the SPD, under the bizarre notion that the Weimar Republic collapsing under the weight of the far-right would let the KPD smoothly assume power, as though the army and paramilitaries were already communist instead of, you know, conservative as fuck.

This ignores the fact the fucking SPD and their goverment signed multiple secret agreements with the Soviets, and both worked to restart their arms industry, that was literally the entire deal of the Treaty of Rapallo. The SPD was made up of idiots who fucked up the treaty though. An interesting fact is that friedrich ebert’s son was a founding member of East Germany.

I think Fidel genuinely didn’t knew Epstein. Epstein was huge buddies with Pastrana, I think Epstein left after staying one or two days in Cuba without Pastrana (Pastrana stayed there to talk about the Colombian Peace Process).

In 2019, former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana publicly confirmed that he traveled to Cuba in March 2003 aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express,” specifically to meet with Fidel Castro.

Pastrana’s name appeared in 2003 flight manifests showing a journey from New Jersey to Florida and then to the Bahamas. While the final leg to Cuba was not officially recorded—likely to bypass U.S. travel restrictions—Pastrana confirmed they traveled from Nassau to Havana. He maintains that he was in Cuba to discuss a book he was writing about the Colombian peace process and that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities at the time. He has emphasized that he never visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James.

Maxwell testified that she and Pastrana “just became friends” because they were both helicopter pilots. She claimed Pastrana was the one who actually organized the trip to Cuba to meet Castro. One of the biggest controversies involves photos of Maxwell wearing a Colombian Air Force flight suit. Maxwell claimed she used the uniform while piloting a Blackhawk helicopter in Colombia and even alleged she “fired a rocket at a terrorist camp”.

Extradited paramilitary leader Rodrigo Tovar Pupo (alias Jorge 40) stated that paramilitaries and drug dealers actively backed Pastrana’s candidacy in 1998. Reports from the time indicated that while the 1998 elections were generally transparent, they were marred by paramilitary intimidation and fraud in various regions to influence the outcome.

It’s exploding all over LatAm left and liberal social media tbh, lots of people linked with Epstein specially far-right people.

He groomed a child, he spent all his time and money making livestreams, and he wanted to remove all the sandbox stuff from the game to replace with boring shit. In the end the game just wasn’t that good in general and Hitman already exists.

Fallout 1 and 2 had only vaguely anti-communism stuff (stuff from the old world), the start of fallout 1 with a cutscene of US troops killing journalists/guerrilla fighters in Canada (In Fallout Tactics theres a joke about leftist guerrilla infighting in Canada over naming their organization). Bizarrely the Soviets and Americans were close enough in the Fallout universe that some russians still lived in America before the war.

I thought you meant as leader of the political party MAS not as president of Bolivia.

I think you’re confusing Quiroga with Paz a bit. Paz (he is mestizo not white) is the libertarian us bootlicker and Quiroga (he is white) is the openly racist far-right US bootlicker. Evo was replaced by Luis Arce who is a socdem and also native american. Evo’s vp was also a white Bolivian.

Don’t forget, every time a socialist goverment or even a social democrat goverment appears here the US does everything possible to destroy them.
