The interviews he did with Oliver Stone were better

When I see a bunch of white kids wearing kaffiyehs I can’t help wonder whatever happened to the whole anti-cultural appropriation thing. When someone drones on about “solidarity,” all I hear is, “Get in line.” When there’s no room for dissent from the dissent, there’s no room for me. Color me an anti-fan of performative politics, particularly if it means I’d be part of the show that features bigots posing as bleeding hearts. Plus, all that earnestness! It brings out my ironic and impish side, inclined to correct typos on signage or foment some kind of peripheral debate. Every time someone at one of those encampments cried out “Free Palestine” I’d be tempted to yell “From Hamas!” I’d surely get kicked out of the group that wants to kick other people out. They don’t want troublemakers

Someone could go through this and pick this shit pile apart. But all I can say is: to gutless, spineless, bloodless liberals that think their nuance is anything but the blinders they wear to ignore the charnel house they built and live in, were-gonna-kill-you

However it is the correct direction to increase the mass of aggregate profits

Rowe takes what should be seen as a poignant contradiction in the workplace (and one that can be used to agitate) and instead goes "Hmm well the boss wants to make money and the worker seems to be willing to change falling off scaffolding. This is perfectly equal and good and nothing more to see here."

There's a small kernel of truth in what he's saying, and he doesn't touch on it because the implications are not good for a boot licker like him. Construction workers are not "willing to take risks" , they are

  1. Propagandised to see safety as a time wasting useless function

  2. Demoralised by what safety measures are in place because most exist to punish workers on the ground for mistakes and not reward continual success

  3. Disciplined by deadlines, piecework, their bosses to go as fast as possible.

Ironically enough the same people on site that tell everyone to be as safe as possible are also the same ones pushing improbable finish dates for work, workers see this hypocrisy and understand that, without some kind of mass backing them, if they are going to be firm on workplace rules there's a good chance they're next when layoffs come around.

Understand this, bourgeois, the NLRB is a compromise that was created for your own protection too.

ZA/UM's post-Disco projects

Y12: Cancelled. Full sequel to Disco Elysium, shelved after the departure of Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere.

P1: Cancelled. Sci-fi game headed by Disco Elysium producer and former ZA/UM shareholder Kaur Kender, who sued the studio after his departure. Staff folded into X7 following cancellation.

X7: Cancelled. Disco Elysium spin off/standalone expansion headed by Dora Klindžić and Argo Tuulik.

M0: In development. A smaller-scale Elysium game targeting touchscreen devices.

C4: In development. ZA/UM's primary remaining project, a large-scale RPG that is not part of the Elysium setting.

so the only disco Elysium content being developed is a mobile app. What happened to the original 3 devs, have they just disappeared or something

I just googled who the CEO was and volozh popped up. didn't know about the other one

Considering that he was born in the USSR but immigrated to Israel later in life, yes it does matter that he is Israeli. He is of the opinion that it's good to settle in a country that floats on top of Palestinian blood.

Select hits from his profile

Well current government of russian federation is trying to whitewash the facts and alter history history as always. I mean they even have their own name for the war - The “great patriotic war” to hide the fact they’ve been allies with Hitler between 1939 and 1941, so I think it’s quite important to remind them of that. Just look at r/pikabu dweebs downvoting away at a simple historical truth.

And

There are documented instances of soviet squads dressed as Ukrainian freedom fighters during WWII committing warcrimes against civilian population, Poles and Jews to rob them of support from the populace. Good thing about these kind of affairs is that if they get captured they don't get the benefits of Geneva convention.

Please replace the relatively sane soldiers with these guys

I mean if we're really gonna use the Titanic argument, let's also note that communists knew the iceberg was coming since the boat left port, have drawn up plans for everyone to safely evacuate the boat, and have outlined a totally new iceberg proof boat that we can all sail in.

Meanwhile the liberals barricaded in the control room have been busy sipping champagne and shooting anyone trying to steer the ship on a new course.

Is there a source for this? In the news mega someone also claimed that they raised the salaries of workers and cut political salaries but that turned out to be bogus unfortunately

Ok I found one source, apparently it was a bank first established as a joint venture with Libya in the 80s https://libyaobserver.ly/inbrief/burkina-faso-nationalizes-libyan-arab-bank-commerce-and-development
