In their struggle to defeat German and Japanese espionage efforts, the Allied intelligence agencies of the KGB, CIA, MI6 and DGSE are all transformed into modern, global, espionage forces. But even as East and West work together to defat the Axis, they are fighting the first underground battles of a new Cold War against one another.

I mean, thousands of international volunteers traveled to Spain to help during the Spanish Civil war. The same is true for Ukraine and to a lesser extent, Rojava.

Try taking a look at !combatfootage@sh.itjust.works or !combatvideos@sh.itjust.works for a while, watch some Ukraine war footage, and realize that as bloody and horrific that war is: Both side are nearly at parity in military strength, and neither side is capable of air superiority.

Now imagine civilians with hand weapons going up against the most advanced, funded, and well trained volunteer military in the world with an unlimited budget and legendary logistics.

Your suggestion is only remotely possible if the military and the industial complex behind it fractures and joins the rebellion in a sizeable amount, otherwise it's suicide.

Union dues fund a strike fund that is used to pay workers while they strike, that's why unions are so important to be able to strike.

F1 Spirit is a surprisingly good racing game with a killer soundtrack. Metal Gear 1 and 2 are also quite excellent.

Well that's embarrassing (and something I really should've known!). Cheers for the heads up 😅

Hm, isn't Airvpn based in Italy?

Probably to make people click on the link to find out. You make a good point though, so I changed the post title.

Anarchy in this case is not implying random chaos, but Anarchist political theory. Or in practical terms, how Catalonia organized during the Spanish Civil War.

It's a bug repellent, and the bugs are fascists, so Anarchy is fascist repellent.

I love the organic plant barrel, and especially Agent Log's face, like he realizes he's in someone's sights but is absolutely f'ed anyway.

Well done! ^^
