"Research" by US university says lemmygrad is the 4th most popular "tankie" website

We really owe it to the researcher for making themselves so easy to dunk on. My favorite to add to the list:

"there being stories of r/GenZedong users attacking Uyghurs and promoting violence against them in the press [ 27],"

which leads to this infamous source:

[27] Andrew R. Chow. 2022. Reddit failing to control hate speech on Global Forums: Mods. https://time.com/6121915/reddit-international-hate-speech/

Dunking on the Rushan Abbas AMA = attacking Uyghurs. Filter that narrative through enough reports and citations of articles citing reports that cite articles and you have the Truth™.

What the hell is up with Far Cry 6?

FC2 is a masterpiece of making the average chud feel like a piece of shit while playing it. Guns jam, malaria wrecks your ass, clearing outposts are quickly repopulated, and the game ends via suicide while rescuing some refugees and killing all of the other mercenaries you met along the way. It's definitely not a perfect game, but it succeeds in making the player feel like a horrible person for playing mercenary tourist, and I can appreciate that.
