well bioshock is probably not what you are looking for, maybe the first game is against wild capitalism but both 2 and infinite try very hard to do the “both sides bad” thing. still worth playing though, good games.

red faction 1 is an ancient game, and doesnt really have much of a story to tell, but you play as a miner that slaughters every capitalist guard on his way, eventually doing the same to mercs. so it gets points for the theme alone, even if the characters all suck. great fun if you like older fps games.

oddworld abes oddysey is another classic, it is heavily about worker exploitation and slavery. ratchet and clank trilogy also touches on such themes.

to be quite honest, you can find a lot of games where the capitalists/fascists and other bourgeois scum are the main villains, for example: fallout series, cyberpunk 2077, even star wars knights of the republic. but problem with these and many others is that they dont offer an in-game alternative. in fallout universe, capitalism literally ruined the world but for some reason there arent any powerful leftists factions. same with cyberpunk, corporations run the remains of america to the ground but all you care about is your own sorry ass and dont even attempt to do something good for the world. dissapointing but not unexpected from cdpr - they lost their political touch after witcher 1.

so it really is hard to recommend anything. it is best to shut your brain off and just enjoy games for what it is, trying to make sense out of it is rather pointless.

that cod mw reboot was actually a new low for call of duty propaganda. bunch of fucking drivel, of course false advertised beforehand about how “morally grey” it would be, lmao. other than that, good gunplay if they actually let you shoot and not do some scripted bullshit like these child sections. one of the most overrated cod campaigns ever.

one can say a lot (nothing good) about portrayal of soviets in black ops cold war, but the fact that they actually let you give a finger to the muricans was rather shocking, and gave me a huge grin on my face. the ending almost redeemed the game, almost. because sadly it was a mechanical downgrade from mw2019 in almost every way.

there are too many cars yes, but because how shit the public transportation is in most places, and that neolibs centralized all the wealth to big cities, the working class does not have a choice. not to mention that in this glorious time of wealth and prosperity you now need two adults on full time to provide a living of any kind to a family. that means two cars.

remote work can remedy this and all power to people who like that but i refuse to bring my work home, in any way.

the masters created the conditions and the slaves have to get the bread somehow. go figure. so dont blame us. the changes must come from the top. the leadership must take the charge and responsibility. this is how things work in most organizations. but of course, crapitalism must be the reverse, even if the bottom has 0 power. somehow every single fucking problem is our responsibility, never the bourgeois.

i mean look at that winning top tier public company strat

• raise the prices to oblivion
• take content away
• produce new original content of questionable quality
• region lock so many get to pay more for less
• introduce a fuckton of restrictions to extract even more money
• blindly follow other sheep-companies into the slaughter by sanctioning themselves out of lucrative markets for no reason

look how well its working, just look at them stonks

not far enough.

the concept of intellectual property should be abolished alltogether. the world kept spinning before it was a thing. we can live without it and save ourselves a lot of headache.

britain has the fucking audacity in general. they are the original fucking nazis before 3rd reich, for 300 years they went around the globe enslaving and destroying local people. starting and funding endless wars on the continent just to pit the european powers just like want it, while they sat cozily on their fucking island. they stole so much from everyone, they have 0 right to speak about any crime.

they got away with all this shit because they created this rotten world order. it all originates from them. and the only reason they still arent doing it is because they got outplayed by their successor and got turned into a little puppet state.

good, we desperately need that law in rest of europe but fat chance of that happening.

the amount of crypto-fascist balts and poles crying how soviets were as bad or worse than nazis is disturbing. none of these fuckers would have lived if nazis had their way, but try getting that through their stupid skulls.

this is some of the most infuriating shit i experience and i am powerless to do anything about it.

i just visit hobbiyst/tech news subs right now and avoid anything political like the plague itself, absolutely nothing of value to be found aside from just getting my blood levels high. i dont even login or comment anymore, i refuse to contribute

yankee propaganda has done its work and turned mainstream internet into something obscenely insufferable. you’d think after the totally botched covid response resulting in waste of life and worsening of mental conditions everywhere, antiwork debacle and decline of living conditions all over west people would start speaking up. but all it took was some sabre rattling and everyone collectively just go back to being blind.

forums died for this shit? for that one centralized toxic cesspool?

this right here is what makes this community truly different from that redditor horde.

if it were russians getting blasted and posted on a normie subreddit, and everyone would be celebrating. “8 dead orks [insert crab emoji]” or whatever.

this war is a tragedy for regular people, with select few benefitting from it and countless being manipulated to believe its somehow “good”.

all that aside, i see a potential for a fresh meme template here… lets pretend the guys on the picture are azov or banderists

yep, enter the post-truth era where you can’t prove anything. era where you can’t trust any of your senses, aside from the gut maybe.

this will shake the very foundations of human societies, not for the better. BUT COOL FUNNY MEME POTENTIAL YEAA!

my old lady is the same, bragging all about how bad communism was and how pis is good. shes also a big believer and tends to annoy her neighbors way too much with her moods and preaching. your typical polish babcia.

in her youth she was married to a cop (milicjant), and despite many slip ups like making jokes of local officials, she never lost her position as a office clerc. did she live in luxury? not really, she had a hard life from childhood and survived the nazi occupation, and i am not going to delude anyone that PRL was at any point some utopia, but she didnt exactly suffer and made do like most people who weren’t against the government. and i assure it was a more stable life than now, where she needs to be supported by her family to buy coal and food. she wont deny that at least, but she will eventually go back to ranting about bad russians again.

can’t say anything about tortures. i don’t know anyone who experienced them, beyond interrogations which were common at the time.

soviets “stealing” from poland, well again you have to keep in mind a lot of our history is heavily, and i mean heavily propagandized so dont believe what you read or hear. even if they were “stealing” resources, keep in mind that they rebuilt the nation and we were in a trade block after all - and the entire block had it hard.

one of my more controversial opinions, even in the leftist space, is that i am not that fond of USSR when it comes to the relations with PRL. i recognize their leader position and nature of being such a nation (a leader needs sometimes to step in hard and intervene to steer the course) but in my opinion they didn’t want us to become too influential. for example, we had a nuclear program going on but the mind behind it “suddenly” died in a car crash, and for some reason no one continued it. just like most of our history that is actually interesting, its largely fallen to obscurity. our politics were also pegged to whatever was happening in the kremlin (cough khruschev/destalinization/gomulka - how convinient), with few exceptions. my dream version of PRL would be a confidently socialist state, but just like TItos Yugoslavia outside the iron courtain. although i would have not been opposed with tight cooperation with the soviet bloc, unlike our southern non-alligned friend. unfortunately, we just werent in a position to pull that off after ww2, and after the fall of 1989 both the PZPR and solidarnosc scum sold us out to the west, bringing forth the horrors of the 90s and balcerowicz’s shock therapy. i am not sure how this community looks at the rare breed such as titoists but thats just where i stand.

you should respond by “you weren’t there, and your parents were little shits while the system was at its last legs. you don’t know jack, so stfu”

the entire history of poland as we poles are taught at school is fake, from head to toe. even in the darkest hours of the 80s, no one was going around starving in PRL. as for repression, it depends how you look at it. it wasn’t particularily brutal considering how other states, even western ones, handle violent protests nowadays. or you could claim it wasnt brutal enough, and the then-ruling elites caved over and sold out our country at the round table because they had no plans beyond saving their own ass. PRL should have been reformed, not dismantled.

they seem to be near-extinct on windows sadly, apart from “otter browser”. for something more up to date you are best off using one of the linux browsers like konqueror/gnome web via linux subsystem. that, or pale moon if one insists to not use firefox.

chrome is the new IE except no one gives a damn about monopolies anymore

firefox has its big flaws both as a product and as an organization (mozilla) but just by the virtue of not running chromium, it is the obvious choice. yeah yeah safari exists, but i dont own apple products so thats not a factor

imho? sorry for sounding like a lil defeatist here, but here is how i see it. be there for your local people when the time comes and lend them a hand. you know, the things shitlib trolls and script kiddies wont do because they will be too busy jacking off to their pile of worthless material possession and imaginary status rather than caring for their fellow comrade. judging by how things are heading in the worlds, might be sooner rather than later unfortunately.

that is our best bet for convincing people. stay down to earth and not spend too much time on games and schemes that hardly matter for the common man when shtf. only in hard times one can clearly see its true allies. and these trolls will not have anything to offer then.

still… if ya all wanna do it, its not like i am opposed. watching the seething is always fun. just dont lose sight of what actually matters and what we should stand for.

shitlibs unironically being homophobic to own them commies

seriously, why the fuck is doing things with “male genitialia” still an insult material? (whoops, triggered the filter here)

this [deleted] guy is spittin straight fax here

oh yeah i am so ready to split that canned edible plastic with my mates for the glory of free democractic world ! my investments in elon musk crypto will contribute to smashing dem wumaos amirite

site’s been rather slow today, sure smells like they are already trying something funny.

for a bunch of ppl simping for free market and 100h workweeks they sure like to spend a fuckton of time being completely useless and unproductive, wonder what their boss would think

right now they are trying to make the lower classes pay the price for western warmongering by telling them that all the price increases across the board are caused by evil russia and hitler reborn aka putin. and of course, it works. people who didnt give a single shit about ukraine or its people is now happily throwing cash at price gouging corps “because freedom”. the same people who just a couple of months ago probably lumped ukrainians together with other “dirty, uneducated, job and bicycle-stealing eastern europeans”. but now media tells them to play along, and oh boy do they obey.
