I world disagree because vast majority of the posts from different countries are labeled so (e.g. “In Germany, we had so and so”). Posts from US are almost never labeled so, hence the “defaultism”

It’s more nuanced that that - he definitely doesn’t want USSR back in terms of economical or political system as is, but he does want to bring back USSR in the name (to get legacy and accomplishments association) and get the same consolidated power to build the totalitarian oligarchy somewhat similar to USSR, but without some checks and balances that were still present even in USSR

I dunno dude, I find “trying to stay human and fight off actively hostile part inside me that was forced upon me” pretty anti-fascist…

I believe Singapore is liberal authoritarian, many of the original policies are progressive even to this day

Valve also said they are not willing to sell hardware at a loss so there is that

Yeah I feel that Finals at least has a bit of style in it - basically a dystopian corporate unserious “we are quirky” “please the rich overlords” vibe

Which sounds annoying af considering that it’s a reflection of a real world but actually works pretty well for some reason

Also cosmetics are legitimately good - finger akimbo guns, stick revolver and bao buns grenade launcher are hilarious

I do think it’s one of the reasons why game is almost dead though - style is pretty bland on the surface which is why I skipped it initially until I tried to actually play it and was hooked
