It's not out yet (spring 2025) but it's called "Freedom to Change Nothing: The Spectrum of Managed Democracy and What Makes the US Different", which will probably delve into ideas that Tony has been talking about on his channel and on Sheldon Wollin's idea of the american system as "Inverted Totalitarianism".

Very excited by Tony1Dime's book on how America is a uniquely anti-democratic liberal democracy, which nevertheless (through shit like how bombastic and seemingly consequential the electoral cycle is, especially recently after trump) produces enough legitimacy in its people to keep going.

Like, this ballot access restriction is the type of shit they accuse venezuela of doing

Apparently people could buy the original game, on discount, and upgrade to the remaster which was cheaper than just buying the remaster, so they're plugging the hole by just not making the original available for purchase?

Nevertheless, Horizon feels like a "pirate it, beat it while doing some extra content, uninstall it" game to me, or it did before I saw some gameplay and watched some of the cutscenes of the first game, it just looks boring

Booked him to do what? Be fat and stupid? They could've booked me for that!

Sweden's rep as a lefty country is so undeserved. Cool you have no national minimum wage because unions are so big they can still negotiate minimum wages sector-wise, big deal, you also love israel and nato apparently

Feels like something Trueanon would tell you to do before the feds take your phone

Death stranding was announced in 2016 (probably been in dev since 2015) and released in 2019, that's 3-4 years. With the basic gameplay already done, and a lot of systems already locked down, how the fuck does Death Stranding 2 take 5-6 years to make? What are they making?

German music sounds so wrong to me, like it's not even music just people yelling

Someone here posted a git and I got it already

Weeks there are and decades happen there happen weeks decades where where

If I were Diaz-Canel here I'd punch Boric in his right eye

Is it just me or does their download page not work anymore? Also, kinda funny Nintendo is going balls out at the end of the console's lifecycle lol

Someone reply to this telling me what's going on!!!

His hair looks like ps2

I saw it in the last megathread but going back to it it seemed to just be allegations so it may not be true

Iran didn't really retaliate against israel killing the leader of hamas on iranian soil, apparently this was because israel proposed that if they didn't retaliate there would be a ceasefire in gaza, a proposal which iran seemed to have accepted, since hezbollah probably knew about this deal it's speculated that they might've relaxed security a bit and left israel an opening to attack them and, of course, there's no ceasefire in gaza so they lied. And iran believed

May god protect the party of god
