You think the nazis only murdered people in Poland?

According to the Führerprinzip, anything Adolf Hitler ordered was perfectly legal. Here are some of his direct decrees, if you want to ignore the whole final solution thing.

If you do decide to try Jagged Alliance 2, get the 1.13 mod. It fixes a lot of things and adds new items and features.

There are probably those who would say it’s cringe, but it means something to you, and that’s all that matters. Nice tattoo.
- Comment on Burnham to unveil £8.4bn nuclear submarine investment in major boost for UK defence 5 weeks ago:
Russia? We can just blow the shit out of them with conventional weapons, don’t need this.
And what’s stopping them from escalating with nuclear weapons, if not a strategic nuclear deterrent? Also, you may be severely overestimating the conventional forces of the UK.

We’ve seen what peaceful resistance does against the orange pedophile’s version of the sturmabteilung: they’re emboldened. They’ve already decided they’re willing to use lethal force with the flimsiest possible attempts at justifying it. Have any of the murderers been arrested or put on trial?
At this point, I don’t think anything short of violence against them will do anything. Show them you’re not just going to roll over and take it. The Black Panthers engaged in armed conflict with the police. They were willing to die for their cause. Many did die. At a certain point you have to stop waving flags and repeating tired old clichés about how free you are while the people next to you are being murdered by government goons.

These guys are responsible to find safe long time storage for nuclear waste. Spoiler: as of now, there is no such thing as safe long time storage.
What do they say about Onkalo?

It’s the first entry in the series, so it’s fair that the gameplay isn’t as polished as in the later games. I do agree with the appearance. It has a very muted color palette which I dislike as much as I dislike the piss filter in movies/games that take place in Latin America.

Just do what the americans do. Make homelessness illegal, then you can arrest them and put them into the for-profit prisons to become slave labor.

Oh bullshit. There are plenty of good reasons to be against “AI”. Look at any of the multi-paragraph, well-reasoned arguments right in this thread.

I understand it’s very difficult when you’re just trying to get by. I truly get that. But if the average citizen doesn’t risk the things they hold dear in order to do the right thing, no one is going to do it for you. There’s a point where they’ve consolidated too much power for you to realistically do anything about it. You’re not there yet, though it’s headed in that direction fast. There’s still a window of opportunity.
I would look, for example, to the Ukrainian Euromaidan as inspiration. They risked everything, and many lost their lives. But they succeeded. It can be done. If you give up before the fight has started, what’s even the point of being alive?

I would respectfully disagree with the assertion that most people operate in survival mode. I understand Africa is different from Europe. Here, we’ve had things relatively stable because of our good relations with most of our neighbors (with the exception of russia). If you can trust most of the people next to you, you can prepare for the worst with the rest, but still live life in peace and tranquility for the most part.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs shows that if you have the basics - such as physiological and safety needs - taken care of, it frees you to pursue higher goals. We’ve prepared for another war with russia for some 80 years, but we’re still a safe, developed nation where most people don’t really need to worry about their physiological and safety needs too much, which leaves them free to pursue things like belonging, esteem and self-actualization.
That’s my understanding of the situation anyway. I’m not saying I’m 100% right, but that’s how I see it so far.

If being able to rely on the US depends entirely on the next president for the next 4 to 8 years, that means we can’t rely on them at all. I say that as someone in a country that needs its NATO membership.
