Hero move is for someone to bullet point the most interesting parts in the comments for us

Urbanism focused approach can work with liberals, ease in to talking about how capitalism makes things so isolating and all the community is sucked out of our environment.

Others I usually don't bother with too much.

I kinda suck at persuasion regardless of the way I try to approach political conversations. I just draw a blank when confronted with dumb lib takes and figure out what to say after the fact

In a way you need to "ease yourself into it". If you're on here arguing with people about the finer points of the Iranian response to Israeli aggression or Chinese economic policy, it's hard to shift gears to defusing liberal brainworms when you go offline. In this case it can be easier to just put your succdem hat on since you'll at least be in some proximity to one another ideologically.

I'd almost say you can still call yourself a communist and argue from a socdem perspective, but that's probably just confusing to people in the long term so actually don't.

Outbound Israeli flotilla awkwardly floating past the humanitarian flotilla coming the other direction.

The org I went with for several hundred new sign ups yesterday, PSL had a table set up too, had a good chat with them.

It's true that it's 90% liberals who think their sign-making contest is peak activism. It's about hitting the 10% who literally don't know how to do any better. It's very convenient to have that 10% all in one place.

Neither, Iran is somewhere in the middle, but steady pressure will wear down Israel faster than it would against Iran, so they have an upper hand with this tactic. That was how I understood it.

Yeah it might be ok to have it behind a spoiler

This is what Hasan was just saying on stream, Iran doesn't need to blow them out, just keep the population close to the shelters and feeling unsafe because Israeli society can't bear that, unlike Yemen where a round of missile strikes or bombings is just Tuesday.

Thank u @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net for making sure we don't get caught by that one again these past several weeks

 

Against the Storm

I don't remember seeing this one mentioned.

It's a survival city builder like frostpunk with industry and resource management. You have three different species of woodland creatures, with their own unique needs a and abilities. It is rogue-lite as well.

Rums excellent on the steam deck and would highly recommend.

Trackmania

Classic game, runs well on the deck, fun couch-multiplayer too, although I wish they would fine tune a few things.
