I find it hard to believe that your family could starve to death just from some mistakes but I might be in the “too positively biased against AES” stage of my radicalization journey

    Reading these comments is hilarious.
    If any of you took two minutes to go to Wikipedia and actually read about the games design you wouldn’t need to make all of these assumptions.

    propaganda? Lmao It’s a little indie video game. If this is twisting all your panties in such knots I’m really afraid for you if you ever learn about the real world.

      Sounds like you’re the one who’s flabbergasted some people actually analyse the media they consume.

      Nothing is made without intent, and that includes “subconscious” intent such as repeating propaganda you have internalised, whether you realise it or not.

      If this is too difficult for you I’m afraid for you if you ever learn about the real world.

        Did you even read the wiki or you just wanted to reply with anger for no reason?

          You are telling people to go to a conservative misinformation site to read about how a game is not politically motivated to promote conservative anti-communist viewpoints. Do you see why that advice might be taken with a grain of salt?

            You are refusing to even entertain even the idea of learning why the game was made.

            I get your point, believe me.

            You boys go right back to circle jerking each other off and being willfully ignorant. Enjoy.

      Propaganda? Lmao It’s a little indie video game made by a guy in his spare time.

      You heard it comrades? Just make little pieces media on your spare time and no one can ever accuse you of making communist propaganda! How convenient!

      He crafted the fictional nation of Arstotzka, fashioned as a totalitarian, 1982 Eastern Bloc state, with the player guided to uphold the glory of this country by rigorously checking passports and defeating those that might infiltrate it.

      What was it that you wanted to show us from Wikipedia? Actually forgot it. We don’t need to know.

        Honestly it has gotten to the point where if anyone mentions “glory” or “gloriousness” in context to socialism, socialist leaders or socialist states, I write it off as anticommunist jibber jabber.

      Oh, I never knew if something was made by one person that it couldn’t be influenced by or contain propaganda. Very interesting that if only one person makes something they aren’t influenced by the propaganda that the society they live in is seeped in. Thanks for illuminating that for me.

        As one person who also makes things on my own, it is a big relief to know that everything I will ever make will be completely apolitical. As a individual person is apparently incapable of bias. Or…maybe not? I’m not really working in my spare time, maybe that’s the key to being non-political?

          What a ridiculous comment. Have you thought at all about what I meant before writing this? I highly doubt it. And saying comeback makes it doubly as funny with this being our instance that you are in.

                I think it’s great we show up on All often enough that they wander in here. Teach them what federation is and – the horror – they have to hear opinions they disagree with!

            Have you thought at all about reading a few words that explains the ideas for the game?
