That is an unfair comparison, Cuba is a sovereign state, unlike Tiwan, This would be like Russia bringing Hawaii under its nuclear umbrella.


It is, thats my bad, I didn’t release they had shut down. I would still place money on it being “Meh Evil Tankies” as the overall reason.


I am going to go with number 1 because woolfballs isnt banned





Have you seen the giant spoon? I am trying to find it before grain eater notices I lost it

TL;DR dispite it being in the 23rd century on a space station, it feels like nothing has changed though the show seems to be fraimed that we have progressed so far. this world is like my perfect idea of a dystopia


Well a few things, first its in the 23rd century, and still VERY capitalist, of the main 5 nations talked about I know for a fact 3 of them capitalists. of the remaining 2 their entire plot point is that they are secretive and no one knows what they want, and the other has a cast system with a religious, warior and the Wiki says worker but I have yet to see it in the show because I am early on, but they are still a maybe.

For one of the 3 I can confirm I dont know much about their society or economy so I will not say much,

The second I know still has slavery, and is otherwise a dieing empire, though they call it a republic yet its very clearly based on the roman empire.

The 3rd is the humans, this is where I have found the most amount. First as far as I can tell its as if the United States annexed the rest of the world then abolished the house of representatives, and the US has not fixed any of its problems instead activly making it worse, in one episode its mentioned a doctor providing free medical care is illegal, I cannot stress enough that this is the 23rd century on a Space Station, and there are slums, and homeless people, but it is never shown as a “bad” thing but as a fact of life, and there are mentions of just exicuting all the poors as a way to lower crime. and please note, that the humans do not have any “free air”/“free soil” laws that automaticly free slaves when they enter their territory or space stations, and are willing to hold diplomatic relations with said nation, without bringing this point up, it was almost brought up like a throw away plot point.

There are large corperations that are given near governmental powers or greater.

My final gripe needs a direct comparison to DS9, both of them had a Unionism episode, where workers where pushed to the breaking point, both of them the strike was technically illegal, in DS9 the Union and the men in the Union where the Heros, as they “Where more than heros [they] where union [men]” and they had “Nothing to lose but there chains” the fact it was illegal was used to set the stakes, in B5 the union is there, and they mention multiple times that it is an illegal strike as a way to disparage the strike, the hero is the commander of the station for generously lessening his budget to give a minimal increase on the prevision they would start work immediately, there was no proper negotiations it was take it or everyone arrested, and the Union was a villan all be it the more sympathetic one of the 2 in the episode, where the correct answer was the middle, that more helps capital.


So, I have been trying to scratch a SciFi itch for quite some time, and I finally broke down and started watching Babbalon 5, it is the pure essence of the world will end before capitalism thinking, it feels like they are trying to fraim it as “look how far we have come” but all I see is absolutly nothing has changed.


You mean to tell me you dont regularly eat copious amounts of grain? I am heart broken,



Its very similar to my other usernames, but more communist. My dog at the time l created my username tempate was named Ivy, for the story behind the username that inspired this one


I feel like this is missleading, Last I checked it was signed already when I was born.


the 200,000 is the Ukrainian number of Russians they have killed, no one has been able to verify as far as I can tell


But the profit motive is always higer in the short term if they destroy the enviroment

So I just learned that according to everyone’s favorate Wikipedia the DPRK is considered "None Marxist-Lenninist socialist state"under the principles of “Kimilsungism–Kimjongilism” this puts them in the same “socialist” catagory as Portugal, India, Algeria ect.


I start to hand out red flags to all comrades in the chat.


To our Comrades in the United States, happy workers memorial days, one of the few days that celebrates the sacrifice of the working class, and that is hardly ever talked about



If you have an android, I would recommend Scrambled Exif to remove meta data

Wait, we have 2 credit scores in the US? Was the one not bad enough?


I see we still live rent free in their heads as Mao Intended.


@GrainEater must be feeling pretty embarrassed right now



I can only see one of them happening, everything in your first paragraph is just so omnipresent and pushed hard enough that I dont think they will ever be able to backtrack


Comrade, Eater of the Grain, you forgot to put your witty text.


That was fast, the peace deal has not even been signed, the US has just started to sabatoge the process



I think it is a little harsh to compare The United States to pirates, I mean Pirates where out there deviding the loot they made equally among the crew, deciding leadership and decisions through votes, holding what could be called workers trials of the crowns captians of captured vessles all things america does not do.



So you mean I am not the alt? what a relief.


Well, you see I am going to blow this case wide open, I am accusing Critical Resist 9 of being the alt … either that or I am the alt, look I cannot find the alt, at this point I am starting to worry I am the alt.



Because they are a communist nation, at war with the ROK (and therefor the US), that has nukes.
