nerd excuse me, fam, but actually they're called snuggle sessions in order to rhyme more closely with maoist "struggle sessions"

nah you're fine jump right into it. you can interact a little with the world while in fortress mode, now. open a map and see rumors, send out squads to raid other sites, that kind of thing.

oh i see, musk just wants to create a servile class that lives in the pods and interacts with the whole world through vr, working during the day and then confined to virtual reality for their entertainment, controlling the robots that elon and his friends can turn off at a whim to protect themselves.

they think that will be enough, that they're smarter than their servants, but they'll simply be creating the conditions for actual cyber lenin.

cyber-lenin the smug bastard probably thinks this prevents the need to worry about a robot uprising and he's only ensuring a proletarian mechanical turk uprising

at first i was skeptical, but i see this isn't posted to c/fakenews, so it must be true

what would the world look like if the u.s./nato empire had not put so much effort, resources, and violence towards eliminating the "communist threat"? they pursued a deliberate strategy of containment throughout the cold war, inflicting untold suffering in order to prevent the success of socialism anywhere to the extent possible. domino theory was an expression of ruling class fears and the dictates of imperialism: if a working class revolution is successful somewhere, it will necessarily encourage working class revolutions elsewhere, and porky can't allow that. arguably the reason domino theory appears silly -- communism didn't spread and take over -- is because containment has so far been successful.

it's more expensive but has the advantage of being less likely to break when you're carting a wheelbarrow full of the code for your graduate thesis across the ziggurat at eridu and you stumble and they all spill out and fall down an entire tier don't ask me how i know that

yeah but scribing your code onto the tablets before feeding them into the computer to compile is a huge pain in the ass
