Probably just using Texas_Hangover's lack of logic against them

Nah I wouldn't want Lemmy to attract anti-piracy bootlickers (specially considering why we left Reddit for Lemmy in the first place). This being the largest community is a good filter imo.

It was originally your average fascist democrat "meme"

spoiler

"Uniteagainsttheright" it says lmao not realizing they're already a fascist right-winger. Surprisingly even reddit had the decency to remove it

It is always morally correct to pirate nintendo products.

Or anything by megacorps in general really

Fascism is when you oppose fascism.

Do you even understand what the words you're using mean?

would have to do something pretty wild to prompt all the people getting free college educations and all basic needs guaranteed to try and kill him.

Almost like it was instigated by US/UK interference after forcing them to give up their nuclear deterrence, as they have done and continue to do to Socialist and leftist governments in Latin America and Africa to justify invasion and intervention. This is nothing new.

Feel free to cite a source with evidence for those claims about Gaddafi btw. Afaik there are none aside from anonymous sources with no evidence, which is the most common way the US and its allies make propaganda.

Your reply was to my comment pointing out that the destabilization and then the invasion of Libya by NATO was wholly unjustified, as all imperial core invasions are. If you agree with that what are you even trying to argue about?

Source: Imperial core propaganda

Even in an alternate timeline where that's not just war propaganda, does this in any way justify fucking invading and destroying a country on another continent?

Ig you probably wouldn't enjoy it as much if you're not familiar with political speak.

My favourite part of the game was the worldbuilding and history. Enhanced by the amazing artwork and voice acting.

NATO only got involved in Libya after the civil war was in full swing

"The country was already in a terrible state after we funded countless insurgencies in it since forcing them to give up self-defence programs. We just went in and finished the job."

Libya had gone from one of the poorest countries in the world to having the highest human development index of any country in Africa by 2010 under the Socialist government, and became a powerful anti-capitalist force in Africa. The US and UK forced Libya to give up their nuclear weapons program in 2003 and used the resulting lack of a deterrent to fund insugencies in the country, then used that as a casus belli to invade and destroy it in 2011.

Come on, we've seen this play out time and time again with the US and its allies (or the Imperial core in general). Be it the wars in Vietnam, Cuba, Afganistan or the countless coup's against leftist governments in Africa and Latin America. Every single time saying that their governments are bad or something as an excuse to invade and destroy a threat to imperialism, as if them waging wars and killing people on the other side of the world is supposed to improve something.

We're literally watching this happen in Palestine right now with the US-backed "israel" forcing Palestinians to use armed resistance against their oppressors, then using that as a casus belli by calling it "terrorism" to invade and commit the ongoing genocide.
