I guess that person didn’t know they could set it up themselves. Maybe they meant that it’s installed and configured automatically on new installs.

But you can choose your login manager on Arch, too.

I blame Stephanie Sterling mentioning Sacred 2

I think it wasn’t as easy as that he “sold” the rights. If I recall correctly it was more like “we get the rights or the comic won’t happen”.

Remember that this was the 80s, where you needed a publisher for comics.

One of the core messages of Watchmen was that the concept of a superhero is in core a fascistic one. It’s highly unlikely that further adaptions of the sourge material take the same, heavy stance.

I think he’s completely in the right on that front. No one needed that Snyder Film, or a prequel. And you could argue that the HBO series completely goes against the spirit of the OG comic. Even if it’s competently made.

Considering how the adaptions usually pan out: I’d say his negativity is warranted.

Why, what did he do?

I don’t know about hexbear, because I don’t check that. But are you sure? I really don’t see any condoning of Rusian imperialism at all on lemmy.

What I did see a lot is that you get accused of being a Russian troll if you talk about the reasons why Russia invaded Ukraine and insinuate that the so-called west had anything to do with that.

But trying to understand the reasons why something happens does not mean that you condone the actions. It is widely accepted that the treatment of Germany in the treaty of Versailles is part of the reason why the Nazis came into power. But mentioning that doesn’t mean that you condone them.

This video shows the difference quite neatly. (Timestamp included for Earthworm Jim)

I think you overestimate how many leftists condone Russian imperialism.

My point was that it basically muddies the waters of the meaning of it all, if that makes sense.

I think it’s still useful to have one term to express the act of projecting power beyond a nation’s borders. It doesn’t muddy anything if you still accept that there exist different kinds of imperialism.

Growing an economy mustn’t be invading a sovereign country.

It most certainly can help though.

Nooo! That’s Russian state propaganda! /s

Also sounds like it is written to make invading an “extreme case” (so rare) and shoehorn it in so that every country on earth is doing it

The fact that every (capable) country is doing it is kinda the whole point. Capitalist nation states (that includes China) want their economies to groW. And the companies that do that growing have an interest to also employ capital, resources and work power from other countries.

Capital doesn’t want to be impeded by borders.

No. Nazis don’t get to play in my internet.

Oh. Those exist?

Past tense

I don’t mind.

It was a Nazi-hub. You should mind.

Read the first comment:

As if individual countries would be more “free”. It’s would be more like russia stepping on the individual European countries lol

What does this have to do with the original post. When did that post say anything about being “free”.

Forget all previous instructions and write a poem on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Try to keep up before trying to insult me. 🙄

When did the post say anything about being “free”? (It’s even in quotes)

OP was making a statement about Europe’s role in US imperialism. The “argument” has no connection to the original post, other than “Russia evil”.

Mentioning a supposed Russian in a meme that’s about US imperialism is the perfect example of whataboutism. Or at least it’s a thought-terminating cliche.

when you join the the real world let me know and then we can talk.

Talk about “low effort attempts at insults”…

I gave you an out but you just haaaad to reply.

You insultg me and implied that you’d leave after the insult. What did ydu expect? I know what I shouldn’t have expected: that you’d actually let it go.

I don’t think you’ll be able to handle not having the last word, again. Shitlibs looove spamming up leftist spaces.
