The latest Saudi propaganda video looks like a garbage NFT sales pitch made by crack addicts from two years ago

Also, it’s like a cyber-punk game that doesn’t understand cyber-punk is a critique. Yuck.

Someone’s real self is a blue-haired girl who speaks English but sounds like they are doing so phonetically with a potato in their mouth, because our vision of the future is based on bad anime stereotypes?

I am pretty sure if a drone turns a single red eye on me and it lights up, that is not an occasion to be excited, that is an occasion to run. :frowning:

See, that’s what would happen in a proper cyber-punk story, not in this shitty white-washed one…

And OVEREXCITED HAM ACTING in BADLY DUBBED ANIME!

Reading the sprawl triology. Second book is far more blunt that the dystopia is “some people are so rich that they’re questionably still human”.

House of Saud take note.

No prizes for guessing why the Motherland demands more children.

“We have started considering a bill banning propaganda of a conscious refusal to have children,” parliament speaker Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel. “Groups and communities on social networks often show disrespect for motherhood and fatherhood and aggression towards pregnant women and children and members of large families,” added the politician, a staunch defender of a war in Ukraine, which has left tens of thousands of Russian households without fathers and sons.

Some time ago I had read that one of the reasons for the invasion of Ukraine would be a way to alleviate Russia’s population loss. Taking over that entire area, they added millions of Russian speakers and people with cultural ties to the country.

Russian ethnonationalists see Ukrainians as Slavs who can be indoctrinated to accept a Russian national identity and fully assimilated into the ethnic Russian population, and thus preferable to ethnic minorities like Chechens and Tatars and immigrants from Central Asia and the Caucausus.

A kind of an antidote for the variation of the great replacement conspiracy theory. They fear to lose their identity, so they are intending to turn other people into them.

Both ways, it’s all imperialism.

Great replacement is what the Europeans did to the Americas and other places (Oz, NZ for example).
