Yeah thats definitely true, I think the only way you can even attempt to manipulate it is by going to lanius sectors when given the choice. That being said, you basically dont even need more crew if you run the Lani B boarding build, because two goons that suck oxygen out of the room they go in is enough to destroy like 95% of the ships you encounter, even on hard. At least until the later sectors. But by then, the additional money from boarding kills will usually lead to you having a cracked ship, so it doesnt even matter. Basically I love those little scrap metal buddies, especially that event where your Lanius crew member just eats a computer to get rid of a harmful virus.

Another reason the Lanius B is the best ship in the game, if your crew dont need oxygen then your ship can be like 99% fire proof all the time.

Let me put the tinfoil hat on for a second and say, I have noticed this as well and I’m 99% sure its Black Propaganda (if im using that phrase correctly).

Someone else in the thread correctly points out that there are lots of uncritical “multipolarity enthusiasts” all over the internet, but personally I think that can only explain who is liking and sharing the videos. The real question at hand: who is making these posts in the first place?

The only satisfying answer ive come to is that its something resembling black propaganda. Although, instead of the idea being that the propaganda is abhorrent and turns the viewer away from being pro-China or pro-Traore with its ugly content, I think the idea is instead for the aforementioned enthusiastic multipolarity enjoyers to love the video, share it, and then get smacked down by an enlightened lib going “umm, thats actually fake”. We all understand that ideology is a bit like dominos; confidently sharing something that subsequently gets disproven doesnt just make you question that specific fact, it makes you question the ENTIRE ideological framework that led you to believe in that thing in the first place. The goal is to make these people go “Huh maybe the libs are right and everything good about china is a lie and they are an authoritarian hellhole”. That fake China airdrop video was literally everywhere, even Gustavo Petro (the fucking president of columbia) was reposting it uncritically on his twitter. His post is a good example of the phenomenon im talking about. He attached a commentary to it that said something like (some countries help (China) other countries create misery (US/Israel)). This is a powerful message, one that should be a thorn in the side for libs and zionists, and yet the entire thing is disarmed because the comments can just go “Umm, actually, that videos fake” and ignore the message entirely. Its not like we need to invent examples of China being more helpful to Gaza than the fucking USA, who are the perpetrators of the genocide in the first place. Any actual comrade would never dream of mislabeling a video of previous US aid, because the Chinese DO give aid (on the ground), so you could just find an article talking about that and use it as your evidence. The only person who has a vested interest in lying about this is someone who wants to HARM the reputation of the Chinese with respect to Gaza, not help it. Thats my two cents.

Your comments in this thread are bewildering, to say the least. The fact you respond to someone questioning your critique with “you must be roderic on an alt account” is laughably stupid. If you were lambasting The Shining and someone questioned your argument, would you immediately assume it was Stanley Kubrick on an alt account? More importantly, your unsupported accusation that his trans friend is a “sockpuppet” is the same kind of reasoning that lemmy dorks apply when they say that all of our trans comrades on hexbear are simply faking it. Terrible post, do better comrade.

Is this even true though? I assume the “imperial core peers” you are referring to are Europeans, and if so, I would categorically reject the idea that they are “orders of magnitude” less brainwashed. What is your reasoning behind this statement? Because to me, the way europeans talk about muslim immigrants, or the roma, or the legacy of the soviet union, echoes all the same brainrot that seems to inflict the burgerlanders.

Which ultra did he platform, do you remember the title of the article? Im curious. As far as “fairly wrong most of the time”, that seems like a pretty harsh critique against someone who is fairly recognized on this website for producing good works on a number of subjects, could you share more specifically some examples of this wrongness? Personally, I like most of what I have read on redsails.
