Also, they said they'd fix the United States in a new update but it looks like this isn't the one.

Bought with my Pakistani card and paid 19.99 dollars on Steam... Was 60 with my American one.

right, and in instituting colonizing structures and the subjugation of these other peoples for the sake of exploitative capitalist enterprise, it was not very much in the interest of capitalists to actually provide meaningful infrastructure for the exploited peoples, lest they find a foothold to or...

now the european isnt even better at violence just better at manipulating xD This is also academic fact lmao.

Oh yeah. Thanks for that reminder. That was really dumb of me. Im taking the Dropbox link down. Sorry folks.

lotta white folks seem to think lookin at and appraisin history amounts to "anti-white" sentiment hmm This is pretty much it tbh. There is such a massive gulf between the white people I interact with on a daily basis (Professors, colleagues, classmates, friends, romantic partners) and the...

slightly off topic but curious, [mention]u12985[/mention] do you despise white people or feel like they should apologise for the past? Oh god I feel like Ill sound like THAT guy but a lot of my closest friends are white, I live in a very white environment at a university where a lot of the faces ar...

what else is there to say? [mention]u13[/mention] i simply node in agreement and put it in my simple words or as it was already so eloquently put: "Military might came from innovation, which occurred because Europe was a collection of small states that were constantly at war with each other (w...

okay you've convinced me. europe didnt contribute to anything (other than its own self interest). everyone lived in peace and harmony before the europeans started to innovate their military might and someone had the mindblowing idea to start using military might to plunder other places. Is this sar...

above sentiment suggests that you believe that rich countries basically have robbed/ exploited poor countries - alluding to zero sum game basically. industrial revolution taking place in europe for example one can make an argument contributed greatly to the creation of wealth in these countries. Lo...

It probably isn't a pure zero-sum game no. You are right that the industrial revolution or similar examples could be seen as pareto-efficient even, that does not disqualifiy them from being eploitative. If i am unemployed and straving, even badly paid work might be better for me than not working. T...

the most privileged, richest white countries that built their wealth on the exploitation and destruction of indigenous people around the world i hear or read this sentiment quite frequently. i'd be genuinely interested if u could elaborate on this a bit Hi, absolutely, yes. Id prefer to use a singu...

Also how do you not see how obvious what you're doing is. Drowning out these conversations with talk of civility, rational/unemotional dialogue and "we're all one people" is a tactic with hundreds of years of painful history behind it.

I think you're taking things too personally. Not really, and accusations of "this person is taking things too personally" when discussing race are a pretty easy way to stifle any conversation. The classic trope of the rational white man and the irrational colored person. It's not an accus...

[mention]u12985[/mention] You were the first one to address insults to other posters here. Bram was quite insulting in the first place, so not quite This is not to defend bram, but there is a difference between his ridiculing point on the devs inconsistencies and actual insults.

In other words, I feel like folks like [mention]u55[/mention] are using the Dutch example as a red herring to attack any conversation about race or representation for marginalized indigenous groups. This is the kind of classic white victimhood you find across Europe and the southern United States, w...
