This. The South Korean military is literally subordinate to the US' (on paper, "only in times of war"). Maybe they could break free, but until then the idea the US wasn't involved in the motions of declaring and enforcing martial law, etc. is pretty laughable.

What an absolutely beautiful smile. It must be protected 🫡
I get it sucks that they are walling us off from there users, however we cannot do much
Does it suck? Personally it sucks more to breathe the same air or exist in the same spaces as these libs. Let them wall themselves off, eventually they will be walled off from the vast majority of humanity that is looking on in disgust at them- and then hopefully in time that wall will close in, and those who cannot develop the human decency to leave their wretched spaces will go straight to the dustbin of history.
Agreed, liberals always are a direct enemy of the left- and not merely a "lesser evil" to fascists, but equal and with no meaningful difference from fascists (which just happen to be their mask-off honest selves).
Kindred Spirits on the Roof is an absolutely cozy yuri VN! And for a more- interesting one I have to infinitely reccomend Seabed, which is a kinetic (linear) novel dealing with- mystery and grief to best explain it without spoilers (I think). Seabed is so absolutely lovely, I played it on the Switch and had to get it on Steam as well and- IDK, it just sticks with me even years later.
We Know the Devil is another wonderful, if short, queer VN.
Faerie's Bargain: The Price of Business is also peak goblin merchant energy and queer AF.
And Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is awesome as well, with working-class and (accurate history to what I recall? anyways touching on the ugly subjects so CW maybe) Americana IMO.
CWs
With major CWs as well for SA/misogyny/etc- I have to reccomend Analogue: a Hate Story.
Other than that have to agree with 999... played it literally over a decade back as a kid but it was fun. I have a few of the other games mentioned here on my to-do list or wishlist.
Others on my to-do list (good enough I already own no less) among many others would include: Amelie, Heaven Will Be Mine, Scarlet Hollow, Mamiya, I was a Teenage Exocolonist, Lay a Beauty to Rest: the Darkness Peach Blossom Spring, and Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk. And AI: the Somnium Files, which my partner really enjoyed from my library, though I've not played yet 😅
And while you probably also know them already, I gotta recommend the Ace Attorney and Monster Prom series. And while it's not quite a VN, I have to infinitely recommend Disco Elysium (but you've also probs heard of it)
While they certainly exist, the Communist Party of Britain thankfully is not among them: https://archive.ph/F1Ow4
The Communist Party of Britain affirmed that it supports transgender people’s right to “live equal, full and meaningful lives” after J.K. Rowling, almost as well known at this point for her hatred of trans women as for penning the mega-popular Harry Potter series, expressed tacit support for its candidates. On Saturday, Rowling encouraged her social media followers to vote Communist, a move made in response to the anti-trans feminist group For Women Scotland tweeting that a party spokesperson had told them it stood “in support of [recognizing] the nature of biological sex.” A day later, a statement was released on the party’s official X account clarifying the matter. “For avoidance of doubt, the Communist Party supports the right of trans people to medically transition, to have access to healthcare and live equal, full and meaningful lives, socially, economically and politically,” it said. “We believe that such liberation will only be possible under socialism.” Rowling’s blessing, likely now to be rescinded, came after she published an op-ed in The Times of London on Friday disavowing the Labour Party over its support for trans rights.
Please, prepare the nukes, President Putin... My people long for freedom...
Seriously though, if it all comes down on our heads it may be more of a relief than anything else. Still better if it doesn't get to that point of course, but whatever happens will be entirely the west's fault and the result of the rest of humanity's hands being forced into action, something that is even rather overdue.
Big "people die when they are killed" energy. Or considering Gaza, perhaps "people starve when they are prevented from accessing food..."
Well, let's wait and see which fails first- this power plant once it starts up, or your shithole genocide-reich of a country :D
Fingers crossed, maybe in a few years you won't even have the internet access to spew your garbage anymore.
Imagine the money that went into consulting about these anti-homeless measures*, designing them*, going through the processes of manufacturing and installing them, and disposing of the perfectly usable and superior benches afterwards.
*(not actually difficult, but it's capitalism, we all know whatever was responsible for this was grifting on the side)
Real ~~king~~ prole shit right there. Keep them coming, Comrade Kim! The peddlers of imperialist lies deserve all this and so much more!
