    Why do people look up to fictional character Andrew Ryan from the hit game Bioshock? -is it the “man chooses , slave obeys” thing?

      Considering what Russia was like before and after the USSR, and considering that the Nazis threw everything at destroying the USSR and then the US put all it’s weight on strangling the USSR… Communism is actually kind of incredible in a lot of ways. It turned Russia from a shithole into a global super power and then it did the same for China

        Yeah, not ragging on communism. I’m actually a huge fan of Marx, including his tidbit about an armed proletariat. But the country was considered “red” at the time.

        Also, good on you for defending the system! I only wish you disparaged the leader a little. Cause, conceptually, the USSR would’ve lasted a whole lot longer if it wasn’t for that murderous prick.

    Double bed in the corner? Pillows with no covers? You matched with a child.

    Oh yeah, and the Nazi pictures. That’s bad too.

      I wondered if I was the only one who had this take. Mattress on the floor. Must be 18yo. I can cut them some slack cause I had the same at 18yo. And that explains the childlike hero-worship of jackasses (and I really like Steve Jobs as a product guy).

      Were I a young woman, I wouldn’t consider this person safe to be alone with. Not because of the shitty bed. Because of the psychotic worship of shitty men.

      Now I’ll be the first one to hate on organ thief Steve Jobs, but I don’t think he was a nazi, more of a hippy psycho cult leader.

        Yeah, Jobs wasn’t a Nazi, he was mostly an asshole that stole the surplus value from his employees and also credit for the work his employees did

        I was talking about the posters of Nazis. I should’ve been more clear.

        EDIT - To be perfectly clear. There are two pictures of Nazis, and one picture of someone who would have been a Nazi supporter if he didn’t prematurely die of hubris.

    I don’t think you’d see as many red flags as this unless you walked into Morocco in the 1800s.
