RedRagan: We know communism is a joke. Because it is.

Breja: No it's not. I think it's time you educate yourself a little.
LOL thank you for that video, that was hilarious. Also that jab at Trotsky was hilarious, yeah that's the first moment communism failed, when komrade turn against komrade.
The only true ism one must embrace is GOGunism, which I am obliged. I shall sleep whenever there is political stuff happening but I MUST BE WOKETH once a game that appears on GOG is not DRM free.

And why doesn't the trailer of the game even show anything. More than half the trailer is a nuke going up.

Zoidberg: Tonight we riot is fine but not deep enough.
Tonight We Riot was so shallow, boring and easy, its only redeeming point is I got it for free in the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. Even a Jail Break clone from the point of view of the rioters would have been better.

Yeah, right? I watched the trailer and still had no idea of what kind of game it was. What's even the point of making a trailer if it doesn't tell much about the game?

More like spectre of Trumanism, written by someone who's ancestors ruled USSR. )

To stop swimming in abstractions, understand that there are no bad nations, but there are morally bankrupt people - and apply the "logic of interests" when questioning every event, while using historic documents as base. I can supply four interesting questions: why Stalin outlawed Trotsky (who effortlessly traveled in the West), why Nikolai II family was not accepted as migrants, why before as well as after WW2 USSR was sanctioned by West (but not during), why did Rudolf Walter Richard Hess did his risky trip to London. If you dare.

Good and bad depends on perspective. So they definitively exist, but are subjective. And speaking about morally bankrupt people, I have found that majority of people everywhere are willing to do horrendous things to both their fellow countrymen, as well as foreigners, if their country/nation/rulers tell them to do so.

102% : )

Any ism supported with military is totalitarianism unless a country people are asking for military help themselves with natural or unnatural trouble..
Showing weapons to people can only bring fear and disapproval, unless these weapons belong to the army one is supporting. There are number of armies supported by different political systems, that will bring sure disagreement.

However I have strong feeling that playing all of those three games at once (not just one as a military fan), can uncover the truth about a war.

War is useless, it is always bringing another war and again and again and again until we are all fkd up, and there is no back-up planet yet.

Then again...it is so much better to play war games on a computer only.

To do this, we need God (Geo Observing Deity) to absolutely disarm all countries and powers, to ban all harmful weapons, to not produce any more weapons, and if any leader really want to fight, then bare knuckles on the green please or video games who is best` competition, or who is doing better art, or which philosophy is kicking most, or what cheese is best, or who is best in a sport or science or whatever unharmful creative activity. I guess peoples nature is to compete. This is a best moment to compete in good things. Any attempt to apply hate should be just banned with love and explanation. Some would say that we need something to hit potential asteroids, fair enough, but we are talking about completely different types of weapons.

To disarm all powers on Earth we would need trust, a lot of trust secured with external power able to instantly disarm any attempt of using, producing and encouraging to produce harmful weapons. Including ALL countries.

People, in general, are trying to be better, yet sadly better than other people, and not better than themselves.

Authoritarianism ? Monarchy ? Democracy ? There is no difference if Love is not applied.

What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Time to love one another, to finally understand that We people need to love to feel safe.

The Polish artist Kazik had a few brilliant moments in his career(possibly more to come),
and my favourite song is none of the political ones, my favourite song goes

"A jeśli ona (Miłość) jest - to dostoisz
I jeszcze raz proszę - posłuchać mnie chciej!
Im więcej nienawidzisz tym bardziej się boisz
Jeśli kochasz więcej to boisz się mniej"

"And if she (Love) is present - you will withstand
And again please - listen to me!
The more you hate the more you fear
If you love more, you fear less"


Peace ^ !

welp. Guess GOG won't be needing my support anymore.
It's funny how is gog persecuated here by some users. Just for game release.
You can hear "bring us more game" all around here. And if they bring you one, you blame them for whatever.
Popcorn ready:)

It can't be helped, (US)Americans right now is at their most feverish political pitch. They just voting between a spoiled orange vs wrinkling potato. Both sides, the candidates and their supporters are horrible people and there's also massive layoffs everywhere and wallstreet is acting like 2008 never happened, Federal bank keep riding an unicycle near overinflation cliff and the rest of the world is just sitting and waiting for the whole circus to unfold while Winnie the Pooh is just waiting while rubbing his hands.

In other word, business as usual. May I have some popcorn please?
This escalated pretty quickly into politics instead of discussion about the game.
I am closing this thread.
