And just like that, a new day and a new way of censorship on this dystopian little rock

Silica Pathways

First time out of the vault
Visa/Mastercard duopolists taking another step to the left by starting censoring porn games. Porn was already censored in USSR as you probably remember. Not that porn itself has any value, but freedom of speech and expression does. Since this isn't the first time Visa/Mastercard duopolists are actively partaking leftist politics, I obviously encourage folks to simply boycott Visa/Mastercard, if able. Yes, it's hard to boycott them due to the duopoly, a lot of online merchants may become unusable to you, but would you rarely shop online then it is definitely doable to simply switch to a more politically neutral type of banking card.
 
funny, it seems to me, that it's usually - including now in many places - been the christian right wing screaming about pornography in all forms. Along with masturbation and sex work.

Depends on your definition of "Christian right wing". Technically back in WWII the so called "allies" were made up of commies + "Christian right wing", were they not? Therefore back in those days Western right wing Christians were quite good buddies with the communists. They were even such a love birds to share nuke technology later on (whether with or without consent matters not, as in other love stories), which in turn lead us to the endless problems with Russia's imperialism up til this day. Therefore it's no surprise they ended up sharing their attitude to porn too.

Okay, few things:

1. I don't think it's historically fair to clump all the allies as either communists, or the "christian right wiing". That leaves out plenty of nuance, or are you claiming that Churchill and the British are either one of the two? Or the Chinese? Or the French?

I feel like Evangelist christians as a political actor and/or movement is pretty fundamentally an american thing. Elsewhere in the world such movements exist obviously, but they're not nearly as politically minded, or large, as in america. And while American politics in the 1930s and 40's are not something that I'm necessarily knowledgeable of, if memory serves, there was no "christian right wing" party in the americas at that time.

2. Historically almost none of the allies were very good buddies with communists. I mean, Stalin tried to warn the western powers (at that point Britain and France) about Hitler and his war aims in the 1930s, but neither really listened, partly because they underestimated Hitler, and partly because they did not want to ally with Communists. Remember that all of these powers intervened in the russian civil war against communists, or supported anti-communist factions.

3. if I'm not completely mistaken, the nuclear secrets were gained from America by espionage, i.e. Spying, rather than americans freely giving the secrets away to Moscow because they were "such good buddies" You try to claim that it doesn't matter weather they were leaked by spies or freely given, as if those two are remotely the same thing. Especially when your further claim states that this is an assumed act of friendship between the two.

In fact, you essentially destroy your own claim here. At the same time you claim that communists and the rest of the allies were such good friends that they shared the secrets of the atom, but also you aknowledge the cold war. So which one is it? Were they such good friends that they shared state secrets, or such good friends that the releationship broke down immediately after a common enemy was defeated?

4. What exactly does this have anything to do with porn?

Additionally, while it's true that pornography (and possibly sex work too) were banned in Soviet union, do not assume that the soviet union is some grand leftist dream. It's a dream to lunatic tankies. That place was an authotarian hell hole, by the end.

If you were to study modern socialist or anarchist thought, they're most often than not proclaiming sexual liberation, legalized sex work, and as much pornography and masturbation as you are want to indulge in.

It's not the left wing that wants to ban or limit pornography and sex work, bud. You're barking at the wrong tree.

Espionage becomes easier if the mutual relationships are warmer/better. When they are better, you have more representatives on ground, you have more allowances, your faux pas'es get overlooked more etc, etc. This thing is even depicted in the games, why do I need to explain that in a forum with gamers?

Remember that all of these powers intervened in the russian civil war against communists, or supported anti-communist factions.
And they also happen to be democracies. Where government's change more often than Joe the Redneck changes his socks. And where nobody takes responsibility of anything, even more so of the actions of past governments.

Are you assuming leftists DO NOT want an authoritarian hellhole? If so, why do they take away every freedom they can at the first opportunity? Just look at the covid affair - good opportunity for even "moderate" leftists to stomp down on freedoms of the masses and, oh, they did that with such an enthusiasm, didn't they.

It's not the left wing that wants to ban or limit pornography and sex work, bud. You're barking at the wrong tree.
If they don't want to do that, why did they do exactly that? Two leftist corporations, going down the same path as the USSR.

1. On the espionage matter. that was not what you first claimed.

2. On Democracy and Russian civil war: Democracies and governments changing has nothing to do with the allied intervention in the russian civil war

3. On leftists: yes, I am assuming most leftists do not want an authotarian hellhole, as I actually speak with them quite often. Though obviously nutjobs exist in every grouping.

5. On 'leftist corporations': what makes Visa, and Mastercard lefist?

1) Imperialism has nothing to do with nuclear technology. Absolutely nothing.
2) Fuchs, the Rosenbergs and other Manhattan Project physicists who stole the plans for Soviet intelligence were never right-wingers, and not all of them were Christians, many were Jews and Marxist atheists. They were leftists, with great sympathy for the USSR and socialism.

The very idea that a megacorporation can be leftist is...well, beyond contradictiry.

USSR and China are examples of countries that are simultaneously leftist mega-corporations, regardless of their prospects

So who's this unhinged lady causing this then?
Anyone have this article?
 
itch.io removes games from people's libraries apparently.

"extremist ideologies", a.k.a., anything that isn't part of leftism :V

Guess we ain't so far from having a mandatory portrait of the great leader on the wall :kharn:

not all of them were Christians, many were Jews
Mooricans would say 'tis the same. Not that I disagree with you, I happen to be on the best side of the pond, thank God.

Meaning, you claim that no matter what people vote for in democracies, it has no actual effect on their government policies? Very dystopian view. Then again there are a lot of very stagnant democracies these days, so I don't doubt you have your reasons to think so.

Their actions. Support of censorship, dodging state laws (US specific, but perhaps elsewhere too). Could be more. I really don't care to dig more, I'm not paid to prove anything, I simply invite to boycott any company that displays obviously leftist actions. You can research more yourself, if you want.
