Decline of the western society #2

Three days. 10 mass shootings. More than 50 victims. US sees worst weekend of 2023.

Nine children were shot at Georgia gas station.

Six people were killed in a Mississippi town.

Eleven people were shot in Memphis.

Five people were injured near a parade in New Orleans.

Six people were shot on a Chicago expressway.

That's just half of the reported mass shooting violence over the weekend.

There were 10 mass shootings from Feb. 17 through Feb. 19 – the most of any weekend so far this year, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive. That’s considering all shootings from Friday to Sunday in which four or more people were shot, not including the shooter or shooters.

Although Russia has a significant amount of Indian students (20-25k), the overwhelming majority of them return to India after studies

Yet you suggest that there are not too many immigrants? Re Indians and Africans not all of them are students. A large segment comprises of illegals who entered Russia from either Central Asia or China. MVD had mentioned this in several of their reports.

If Israel today is a developed state it's because of decades of hard work put in by White/Ashkenazi Jews, especially those from Russia & Ukraine.

Freeloader African and Indian jews were never liked by locals. They contributed nothing to Israel's development.

Israel's chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef had described these coloured Jews as "descendants of monkeys" just a few years ago, before the woke Jews shut him down.

But if Israel has decided to dig its own grave by importing these Jews of colour, so be it

I can understand gun grabbing mentality. If Americans are no longer capable of the responsibility of our freedoms, we will inevitably sink into servility. Freedom these days is seen as licence and not duty. What happens if we are no longer responsible citizens? What happens when nanny types see the state as all powerful and all nourishing? We lose our God given rights thru soft tyranny.

2a along with freedom of speech, religion and freedom of association cannot be discarded. We are not Europeans. We must face the burdens of irresponsible and dangerous acts, and fix society itself. Defanging and making a population docile in order to protect it from itself only leads to terrible despotism. Weimar and clockwork orange tier neoliberal nightmare that will only become more overtly despotic and hateful of it's own people.

Never heard of it. Just about some Africans who stayed or tried to stay after the World Cup and their tourism visa expired.

Doesnt look like he was referring to Ethiopian Jews specifically here.
But

Okay

He was referring to Jews of colour not just Ethiopian Jews.

Most of these Jews of colour are of non Jewish descent. Previously the registering rabbi investigated the lineage of the applicant from Asia and Africa for possible non-Jewish descent. But, with the huge increase in the population of purported Jews of colour they forced the authorities to discontinue this practice.

Most criminals in Israel are also from these various Jewish communities of Asian and African descent. Many Russian Jews who had migrated to Israel came back because they were at the receiving end of violent attacks carried out by Jews of colour. Several of these Russian Jews settled in Moscow Oblast an area with a considerable central asian migrant population consider that area to be in orders of magnitude more safer than any city in Israel.

What a shock... zionist jews not able to get along with others...

I mean I appreciate a Palestinian getting upset living in Israel because when robbers and criminals harass them the jewish police likely wont give a shit, but if the jews can't call the police to deal with illegal behaviour then it sounds like their country is not really a country... but a construct... an ideology gone wrong.

Fundamental racism at the heart of the Jewish faith does not surprise me... racism is at the heart of many religions, it goes hand in hand with their very conservative views and racism is not a conservative view.... ironically racism is also part of liberal views but often in reverse... they tend to promote affirmative action which is just more racism of course.

Of course it is well known that all Russian criminals are not really criminals and in fact most are freedom fighters who just got on the wrong side of Putin... heroes like Navalny and Pussy Riot...

Pussy riot is as Russian as I am Zimbabwean. Lusy Sthein who ran the show sounds very russian too

FBI investigating genderfluid former nuclear official – media

Sam Brinton, a ‘kink’ practitioner who worked in the Biden administration, is accused of stealing luggage at multiple airports

The FBI is investigating allegations that Sam Brinton, a nuclear engineer recently fired from US President Joe Biden's administration, stole clothes from a Tanzanian fashion designer at a Texas airport, Fox News has reported.

The designer, Asya Khamsin, lost a suitcase full of custom-designed clothing while traveling from Houston, Texas, to Washington DC in 2018. The theft went unsolved at the time, but Khamsin reported it again to Houston Police Department in December when she spotted photographs of Brinton wearing her designs.

Khamsin posted pictures of herself and Brinton wearing the same clothes to Twitter last month.

Officers in Houston have since handed the case over to the FBI, Fox News reported on Tuesday.

Biden’s latest hire has an openly deviant lifestyle. A sign of progress, or moral decay?

Brinton, a man who uses they/them pronouns, has been in hot water over similar thefts before. He is currently facing felony charges after allegedly stealing a woman’s suitcase from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport last September, and for allegedly stealing a suitcase from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas earlier that summer.

Brinton was released on bail in both cases, but lost his job as deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the Office of Nuclear Energy in December.

Before the theft allegations surfaced, Briton’s appointment by President Joe Biden last February was controversial in itself. While Brinton has two masters degrees and has advised Congress on nuclear policy, he is an open “kink” practitioner, and has spoken at universities about his lifestyle – which involves relationships with gay men pretending to be dogs.

Remember that NATO propaganda piece written by the political officer of PC Gamer attacking the new Atomic Heart game made by Russian developers that I put in the Western propaganda thread?

Well it seems the game got itself mired into some more controversy as well.
This time because of its alleged racism

Atomic Heart's Save Room Cartoon Contains A Racist Caricature

https://www.pcgamer.com/atomic-heart-devs-apologise-for-racist-cartoon-clip-and-promise-edits/

Atomic Heart devs apologise for racist cartoon clip and promise edits

The 'racist cartoon clip' they are referring to comes from the Soviet cartoon Nu Pogodi, which plays on a TV in the save room of the game.

Here it is. The racist cartoon

With the offending caricature at around 1:23-1:24. Only don't blink, else you'll miss it  

I did not even wish to put this info in the Western propaganda thread.
I think it better fits in the 'Decline of the western society' thread.

None of them want to hold the creators of Bioshock infinite accountable?

To be quite honest, Russia and Russian developers are doing really good work. Just a few years ago our stuff wouldn't be allowed to western markets but now everyone wants Russian products. You hear constantly Russian music overlaid of social media videos and more and more games are making it to the market. Compare it to the AAA titles of the West like CoD, Battlefield, and they are destroying them single handed. Yes, there are still many great games but you can see and sense how Russians and Chinese are going to make it to the market.

Eagle Dynamics, developers of military aviation simulation the best on the market by a gigantic shot with no rival and it is loved all over the globe. Even if it is a niche it is still loved and high quality product. Hell one Russian was even jailed for 1 year for obtaining F-16 manuals for developement of high fidelity module of their Digital Combat Simulator. He did a good deed not just as a dedicated enthusiastic developer but also military wise great effort for his country.

The Metro books as well as the games are great quality and have left a good impression on Russian Game developers.

War Thunder, hell even my russophobic lite colleague is playing that game since years.

A few series of Heroes of Might and Magic, which did leave a positive impression from  rookie game studios.

Escape from Tarkov, another example of a game that is known in every country. It has it's bugs since it is in BETA yet, but has positive ratings.

Now Atomic Heart which receives a lot of attention despite all the Salo-guilt trip warfare and crocodile tears. They directly show some elements of our culture and are attracting people.

This is exactly softpower that we need to support and should be focused on much more than it is by Russia.
Many Africans have a positive attitude and a genuine curiosity towards Russia and Russian culture.

The irony is that if you watched that properly they rated the fat guy as negative one million...

Being fat is unhealthy, being as big as those people shown in those images will create problems for those people as they get older... it is hard work for their hearts and other organs and of course all their joints will suffer and deteriorate faster when carrying around more weight.

My sister works in admin in a hospital and she said they introduced a new policy to require patients to be below a certain weight before they would do any operations on them.

Being over weight creates all sorts of extra risks involving the use of drugs and pain killing medication.

What they found was quite amusing... most of the people needing operations on joints like knees and ankles and hips didn't need operations after they lost the excess weight they were carrying...

She was just doing female social affirmation in relation to the women.. they inflate up each other's confidence and then gossip on the ensuing drama when that extra confidence doesn't go so well  
Of course privately they all know who the hotties are and who aren't

While when it comes to the opposite sex people by default assess in terms of sexual attractiveness to themselves, whether consciously or subconsciously. Which is why she rated the shirtless fat guy -1,000,000 without a second thought, and why she couldn't answer off the top of her head why she gave him such a low mark

I think if she found out the fat guy was some media mogul in some foreign country worth billions of dollars his score would go up, but her rejection of the ripped men is interesting... clearly someone who works hard and does that to themselves every day to get like that and stay like that does not appeal to her... maybe she is gay?

Most straight girls find such male model types appealing even just to walk into a room with them on their arm and watch their friends turn jelly jealous...

I would guess she is gay, but she just might like black guys or other types... it is clearly not the case she likes fat guys... so I think on balance she probably like girls.

The best test would be to post a photo of a thin reedy nerdy bookish guy that femenists seem to like...

I doubt she's lesbian, or that she's into black dudes - I've known ladies who are into black dudes.
She just doesn't find the gym-monkey try-hards hot well that's her right.
She's probably more into the K-Pop stars or maybe that Benedict Cumberbatch from the Sherlock Holmes series look. Some girls are into that profile and she looks like the type.

But you know we are kinda talking about a girl who's like, a 1st year college student at most, so yeah, how did we even get into this conversation

Metro games are Ukrainian product

Also, books are anti-Russian wank fest written by ultra liberal whacko

I don't need to remind you of big plot twist in third one?

Bioshock series is also extremely overrated. As I saw the steampunkish aesthetic glommed onto in the 2000s I knew only cancer could come of the style. One thing I also get annoyed by eastern euopean games is the neverending alternate reality/dystopia sci fi. Roadside picknick tier clones. There are some good ones but dang it is as annoying as the neverending zombie craze was here for over a decade.

How could they. Russian developers are needed in the West, big time. So western companies, Chinese and South Korean companies are paying big money to get hold of Russian developers.
