This is crazy. I played Tomb Raider 1-3 on PlayStation waaaay back in the day, and thought it was cool, although terrifying (that butler in 3 scared and haunted the shit out of me).

Fast forward to just a few months ago when I decided to re-watch some gameplay, it genuinely hurt to watch her killing endangered wildlife. I just couldn't feel any redeeming qualities in her after a deep reflection.

Isn't her whole thing supposed to be basically a pirate that steals indigenous artifacts from the hands and nations of the natives, while also showing no regard to the lives of such sensitive wildlife species? She does far more harm than anything else, that I've seen. Reminds me strongly of the legacy of the British Empire and British imperial plundering.

These fuckers live way too long, thanks to their access to the best healthcare money can buy.

Very sorry you had to put up with such abuse, and I'm glad you found your way here.

There was a whole heap of transphobia and ableism directed my way when I joined

This is referring to Blahaj, right?

Instead of getting banned for being a minority and wanting rights, I changed minds.

We have your back here fidel-salute

I hope you've been enjoying your stay heart-sickle

Haven't been here long enough to have witnessed too much domestic discourse, but there's something I've found endlessly hilarious.

Seeing Hexbear's federation and mere presence become a forcing move (like in chess) for instances to make it clear where their political and class loyalties lie.

We've seen the cookie cutter, big tent, generic "all are welcome" type instances speedrun into fascism and straight into their own graves. This trend has followed suit with spaces that claim to be "safe" for the sexually divergent (most notably trans), yet act effectively, in practice, as a flytrap or honeypot to reel in the vulnerable population and facilitate their bullying and abuse at the hands of the intolerant (Blahaj or 196 as it's most widely recognized now).

This type of shit is speeding up and intensifying contradictions and forcing off masks while elevating class consciousness, and also making it clear that currently all roads point to Hexbear for actual refuge as a vulnerable demographic. It's a win-win-win as we stand to benefit the most from the brain drain liberal instances always experience due to anti-communism. It's an irrefutable fact and immutable future that anti-communism leads to an inevitable concentration of the worst society has to offer and thus, naturally, an exodus from those instances since those types of people are time tested proven to be the people nobody wants to be around on the internet. They (victims of the abuse) see how we operate here and often seek asylum, which we're more than happy to provide. From there, exposure to our ideas and theory takes care of the rest and solidifies the delivering to their final political destinations (most prominently Marxism-Leninism).

Looking forward to the next Big Tech controversy delivering the next spike in Fediverse traffic, because this shit never gets old seeing capitalism failing in real-time while also cultivating healthy spaces of the internet I actually want to participate in and be part of. The trend is irreversibly in our favor. Reactionaries will end up on islands isolated from the wider Fediverse (a fate most likely to befall Blahaj), and continents will show a steady upward trend in quality of discourse and solidarity. Liberalism can't compete with what we've got, and they're forced to grapple with it now. They will find the only options are to capitulate or perish, because the world's tired of the liberal internet facilitating hate.

Us filthy "libs" are a bit more mobile than you lot. I've lived in a lot of countries, and I've visited half the world including China which is why I don't need to engage any further on this. clueless

This is a fantastic way to piss off poor and marginalized people, flaunting your privilege and using it in a context to assert some flavor of chauvinistic superiority over us. You're only digging the grave of your class further and further by being a jerk that thinks their own shit doesn't stink, which is fine with me as I enjoy skipping to the end of direct class conflict. The people you step on are the vast majority on this planet, and they recognize which class actually shares their interests based on how they are treated, so you're just giving us more comrades and bolstering solidarity by throwing them into our open arms, critical support to you in that regard.

You said you've "visited China"... When? When precisely did you visit China, and where did you actually go? What's your story here?

You are singing the praises of a country that is a living hell for 99% of its inhabitants, even moreso than filthy capitalist strongholds.

Complete projection here. Everything you said is basically true in regards to specifically the United States, but also the Western world in general, which is only worsening in living conditions for the working class as time goes on. You failed to elaborate on why you assert China to be a "living hell" for 99% of its inhabitants. Do you have any actual tangible examples, or is this just like all the other bullshit claims that are taken at face value as Gospel Truth because liberal media monopolies in the West, with the US at its core and main source, endlessly hammer these things into the heads of the population?

See, unlike you, a person who speaks, condescends and sneers from an ivory tower of privilege, the vast majority of us cannot afford to just take luxury vacations and go wherever we want. Your demographic treat the poor of other countries like zoo animals, finding it a good time to travel to poorer places and ooo and awe at the less fortunate to reinforce your confidence in grandstanding to flex and scoff at those that oppose your class interests and intend to fight against them.

Here. I may not have the wealth to travel around the world, but I'm resourceful enough to have found some concrete examples of this "living hell" you spoke of. Check it out:

Things You CAN Do in China (You CAN'T Do in America) Americans WON'T Believe It...
Apartment Tour in China | What can $300 a month get you? 🇨🇳
China vs USA - Please DON'T Compare... (Americans Crying) (CW for the vegans: meat carving/eating)
China LEADS the World in Electric Cars! (America Shocked)

Next time you want to talk about socialist nations being inferior to the living hell that capitalist nations have cultivated for their own people, bring receipts. If you refuse to engage in the concrete examples I have provided, don't even bother replying because I'm not interested in bad faith conversation.

The thing about leftists is we're correct, so I'm not worried about winning you over this second. As far as I'm concerned, now that you're realizing that maybe there's more to this whole "leftism" thing than youve been lead to believe, I know you're going to figure it out eventually.

Precisely. I don't stress over any interaction with anyone, because I know the truth always goes the distance.

Lies have very short legs, and therefore do not go very far. Time and personal experience will take care of the seeds you have planted, so there's no need to chase after anyone.
