    Communist Party of China, CPC. The country that they are in is China (PRC). A billion people do not live in the “CCP”, that’s like saying Japanese people live in the LDP, and your imprecise use of these terms makes you look uninformed. Unless, of course, you just constantly say “CCP” because you don’t want to recognize that they are the legitimate and popular government of China, you know, a country.

    I speak of russia generally so I can include USSR and the current state of affairs. I realize they are different but they are both authoritarian. They be capitalist but they call themselves communists.

    This is a meaningless statement. Any government that wields power to accomplish things is “authoritarian”. It’s silly to equate the USSR with the Russian Federation when they are two very different administrations with distinct ideology and policies. Russia for the past 30 years is a capitalist country with an administration originally installed by the US. Putin is a right-wing figure and an anti-communist. I don’t like Putin and the other rightists in charge of Russia, but I hope NATO doesn’t win out in the East because I don’t want the US Empire ruling over the whole world.

    We aren’t uncritical of the USSR, China, and the DPRK, we just think they broadly did (and do) much more good than bad.

    Also, “CCP” isn’t a country or even a party (CPC), it’s China or the PRC. I assume when you say “Russia” you mean the Soviet Union that hasn’t existed in thirty years as Russia is a capitalist country now.

    Post your credit card number and DLN while you’re at it.

    So a mod didn’t like a comment you made which was interpreted as encouraging anti-homeless hate. Instead of just moving on you decided to make this about “tankies” despite no one saying anything about Marxist ideology, China, or anything related. I think you’re just looking to pick a fight with us because we’re dirty pinko commies or something.







  • your meme still sucks. what does this have to do with NATO? do you want NATO to use its military to enforce gay marriage? should it start with its own members? what about ukraine?

    i hope to see it legalized in all socialist countries (like it is in Cuba!) but do you think things happen instantly? most western countries have only legalized it in the last 5-10 years and in many countries further from the western core conservative social views can be more of a problem to overcome.





  • I really doubt that the problem is with your actual graphic drivers, but with the wine version of directx. first, make sure you have Vulkan and DXVK installed and working on your computer as it’s required for directx 11. you could also try older wine versions, or you can see if you can force hearthstone to run under directx9 if it’s still supported:

    In the Game Settings (in the Battle.net app) you need to enable the command line argument and then type this into it: -force-d3d9

    a few years ago when i didn’t have a Vulkan-capable GPU i would have to make a lot of windows games run in D3D9
