@hexbear.netI had my brother play Deus Ex: Human Revolution and I remembered how much wacky fun I had.
America in 2027 is depicted a crumbling dystopia (basically what America will actually be in 3 years minus some fancy tech) where Musk types like Sarif are "creating" wealth by further segregating deindustrialized cities like Detroit.
There is literally a mission where you infiltrate a FEMA concentration camp in a deindustrialized region of Detroit that was built to house dissidents. And a literal tries to hire you to orchestrate a gang war to prevent people from finding out.
I find China's depiction in the game the most fascinating because China in HR is basically what the West fantasized China would become in the future. A neoliberal western vassal with a weak "Communist" party. There are Blackwater style PMCs in the game operating to protect Western sweatshops in China and brutalize the populace. Luckily, I had Jensen take them all out.
Also, Israel apparently got wiped out so maybe the Cyberpunk dystopia is kind of based.
Thinking about replaying Mass Effect again, is it better to save or let the council die? Which choice is best for advancing the cause of the galactic working class?
I don't really know much about the political and economic situation. For instance, why is their inflation so high?
Liberals literally believe that every American (and European) election is the most important election of their lives because the fascist Maga voters are about to seize power and recreate the handmaiden's Tale and send gay people to concentration camps so you have to vote Blue no matter who.....
...while simultaneously believing that liberal capitalist democracy is the best system and is superior to that of China, Russia, and Cuba and has to spread by force throughout the planet.

I'm curious what you guys think about what changes would occur in the USSR and the world.
Prior to the conflict, I wasn't a fan of liberals. But at least they were better than conservatives because they didn't want to glass the Middle East, protested against the Iraq war, made fun of right wing bullshit on Fox News, and didn't want to gun down Muslims or Hispanics. Or so I thought.
Liberals have gone full :frothingfash: and are literally regurgitating 1930s Nazi talking points about the Slavs. As I Russian speaker, I stopped going on most subreddits now due to the obscene racism. I've seen shit ranging from "Aktually, Ruzzians are not white or European" to "Lets break Russia up and commit mass ethnic cleansing". It's not even just Russians, I've seen a massive surge in racist posts about Chinese and Indian people since the war started.
Liberals are literally swallowing the most inane nonsense from Ukraine like "Russian orcs shocked at seeing toilets for the first time". And lets not forget the "Russian brainpan too smol to launch nukes so lets nuke them ourselves" posts all over :reddit-logo:
Anyone who even remotely suggests that we shouldn't arm and send 16 year old Ukrainians to be blown up in human wave attacks is called a Kremlin agent.
Amazingly, many right-wingers like Peterson or Candace Owens have better takes on the situation than liberals do. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
