depending on how you do string comparisons they can be. See Java's Collator class.

Didn't realize it had a name. Love that it has an extremely short Wikipedia page which just happens to say "By 1976, Operation Bloodstone was no longer a closely guarded secret". Except it has an extremely short wiki page lol.

no dense urban dwellings either, that's also an escapist part because the US has actual dystopian infrastructure (sprawl designed to force you to use a car). Even here in Seattle everything feels to sparse. Too wide of roads, too many roads, nothing is actually "dense" in any way, and the businesses are always in a different spot than most of the housing (whereas other cities might have housing with more interspersed businesses).

Technically correct, the worst kind of correct.

Skyrim has about the most interesting intro to any game I've played. A lot of games start off with some extremely boring tutorial junk. And then when you leave the fort and the game just opens up :stalin-feels-good:

Why do you hate us for our freedoms?

Not sure I'd trust a random Hexbear user more than people who at least don't seem to be mouthpieces for the US government. North Korea has good relations with Eritrea, and Eritrea seems to be siding with the Ethiopian government. Doesn't really matter if the Ethiopian government has been cozy with the US in the past. It seems like another pseudo-proxy-war in Africa where the more violence there is the worse off everyone but western governments are. Eritrea obviously isn't a western puppet government, so I wouldn't support anything that weakens them ~~although they're not a central entity in this from what I gather~~ . But there is obviously a propaganda war going on right now. Anyways, I'd rather side with literally anyone other than the US government and I don't support US sanctions under any circumstances. If anything, western governments just want to extract concessions from governments and make them beg. And it was the TPLF that broke the last ceasefire (although under certain circumstances there could be reasons someone would do that).

when you keep your soldiers as slaves and refuse to even pretend to hold elections for 20 years, you will get sanctioned without any ulterior motives

Pretty big red flag in your post considering the US never sanctions anyone without ulterior motives.

But yeah, it's obviously more complicated than Ethiopia and Eritrea being the objective good guys. But I don't know. The propaganda war is intense enough that it seems impossible to figure out who's backing who, not even sure if governments themselves know.

I'll probably just support whatever China is doing lol. They want to have Ethiopia firmly in their camp I guess. But like I said, it's another thing where every big country is trying to figure out how to come out on top.

Because the lyrics are so esoteric and all over the place that chuds can be fans of theirs. They're turning exactly zero people from liberals into communists. I feel like Immortal Technique, Bambu, etc. are a lot clearer in the message to the point that it can't be ignored, and they seem a little less well known. And RATM is only a little less "left-wing-as-an-aesthetic" than Run the Jewels (which isn't really left wing at all). Any "dissent" is mostly an aesthetic that adds a tiny bit of meaning to something that is otherwise just silly.
