Neoliberals have no comradery and see each other as competition. They look for opportunities to tear each other down instead of supporting each other, thus making their community weaker as a whole.
Whereas the communists support one another and seek to help build their community as a whole, thus leading to a stronger, more supportive community.

TLDR- Sucks that you don’t have our level of solidarity, libs.
He very much is an undead Walt Disney, without the cute mascot. That being said, I have always really really really wanted to see a Fallout: Florida done by Obsidian, but I am pretty sure that is never going to happen, and if it does, Bethesda will just absolutely shit the bed on it. We got close in that one Fallout 4 expansion, but even then it was kinda half-assed, because it didn’t really deal with the actual living conditions of the people who operated the rides or the community surrounding it.
Omg, Florida Fallout would be perfect. I mean it’s already a dystopia. Can you imagine the Fallout version of Wastelanders rediscovering the Scientology building?
Oh yeah, I think the funniest possible thing is that the apocalypse actually makes Florida less dystopian. I mean, it’s still just as dangerous wildlife-wise, but the lack of a strong police state actually improves community conditions.
He’s the mecha version of a Necrarch aka, a vampire with lich characteristics. The vampire counts even have the mindless army going for them. (They ironically have lich underlings I think.)
I fucking hate that Warhammer already has a solution for this, but of course it does. Well played, but I wanted to argue using traditional DnD monster categories, because they are so damn vague.
Well it was New Vegas, clearly. Unless you like 1 or 2 cuz I haven’t played those and they are completely different styles of games and it’s okay to like them more.
We are united in spirit and purpose, comrade. We are one well-oiled shitposting machine. For every poster that falls, ten posters will take their place.
They say that Hexbear only has enough keyboards for half of its posters, so they send people into threads in pairs, and when the first poster is banned, the second picks up his keyboard and continues posting
Who could have imagine that Capitalist Liberalism, an ideology based on greed and low grade solipsism and would lead to a lack of community and solidarity.
When I’m forced to spend any amount of social time with liberals, especially the more reptilian ones you encounter in academia and managers, especially if they have an explicitly perverted ideology of neoliberalism, and even when they are suposedly best friends, I recognize after not much time that they actually don’t like eachother. They hate eachother. They are jealous, petty and envious. They are all insecure. Their understanding of generosity and sympathy is absolutely reducible to a market relation of exchange for profit in purely inhuman sense, and not even in a progressive social sense of reciprocity. They often dontunderstand that friendship can be good in and of itself, perhaps because they are so alienated and toxic that they’ve forgotten what actual friendship is, and that love is not reducible to material or economic dependence (fantastic scene which shows this in season 3 of Succession, in Italy between Tom and Greg).
I’ve had many ex-liberal friends become communists just because they were so alienated by their liberal friends that they started hanging out more with communists and were like “oh damn these people actually like eachother and don’t try to demean eachother”.
Almost all the communists I know who come to hate eachother do so cos of theoretical and practical political beefs.
a coworker explained to me that he was suing his sister in court because he loaned her money for rent and she hadn’t paid him back. I took a full 30 seconds to respond because I couldn’t fathom treating anyone, leave alone family, so transactionally. it’s not like he needed the money - he was just willing to trash his sister’s life because he felt entitled to.
Yeh when I hear shit like this I’m unable to treat the person in question as really human (in a normative sense). Someone must have really lost - or never had - some really basic moral and emotional capacities to be able to think like that about their sister. People like this need to be terrified into submission and shamed for ever having thought like that, and punished if they did it prior to a socialist society.
Sure. Although we both know as a matter of historical fact that’s very far from always being the case. Reeducation and reform are not inconsistent with facing consequences, taking one’s medicine, laying in the bed one has made, etc. Indeed the latter are likely part of the former imo. For me humans are an intrinsically social and political species, in virtue of our evolution and our capacities, and this determines what our material interests are as a species. When someone is so anti-social to the point of being willing to sue their own sister out of entitlement, they are actively contradicting the interests of humanity. It’s a sign of some of the most depraved transformations of human beings I can think of and should be cursed like the plague.
I think it’s a matter of social conditioning, though, not an intrinsic part of most of the people who behave this way (though this antisocial behavior leaves a lot of room for psychopaths to operate). “one must pay their debts” is ingrained in us as a truism from birth. I suspect many have never even considered the possibility that loaning money itself was considered a despicable act in many societies, or that it’s possible to relate to other human beings in a way that’s not transactional. this fact gives me hope that we can recondition most of these people - we must at least separate them from society and try. if they’re truly irredeemable, throw them in the volcano. but we must hold out hope for the possibility of human growth and change.

Yeah, this is probably one of the best online communities I’ve ever participated in
Much better than ceaselessly arguing about which Fallout game was the best
The answer is New VEGAS
And 2.
2 is also good
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Wanna join our polycule?
@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net I think this can be arranged.
Himbos, thembos and bimbos unite!
QUICK! EVERYONE TO THE CUDDLE PUDDLE
I know it babe

Look, in this house we ceaseless argue if Mr. House is closer to resembling a vampire or a lich.
I always thought of him as undead Walt Disney

I can solve this argument right fucking now.

Which one has a weakness to golf clubs to the skull
This is the only online community I feel comfortable enough to not just lurk but actively comment in. It’s great.

This is unironically the funniest post ever put here, I’m reporting you so the mods can read it
I hope this results in my second site tagline, I would be over the moon
I love this SO MUCH
this deserves to be a site tagline
They also don’t have their own owls

Neoliberals when it comes to posting
100%.

if the CPC managed to reform the former emperor of China, I hold out hope that all of these cretins can be reformed.
