Since I am a Swedish communist and know plenty of them, I feel it might fall on me to say that you are just being ignorant and judgmental. There has been a fair share of naivety in the ranks of the left wing parties in Sweden, but that was much more notable during the 1970’s than it is today. I don’t know any communist or socialist in Sweden that argues in such simplistic terms like “not USA is automatically good”, that’s just an insane claim to make. And while we’re at it, most of the western world seem to agree that “not-Russia is automatically good” with all the head-in-the-sand shit the west is pulling over Ukraine. I believe you are touting prejudice against communists, like so many before you have done. It doesn’t do anyone any good.

I have just shy of 3,500 hours played on Cities Skylines, but I couldn’t keep up with the torrent of DLC’s which made me stop playing it. When they started selling things as DLC’s that moders hade previously released for free I just lost hope, but the modding community was a huge part of why I kept playing as long as I did, and I really hope they are allowed to be a part of it this time around too. Although I fear everything is being commercialized and monetized up the wazoo these days, I will probably have to give it a go eventually.

I’m sure history is full of people who all of a sudden was given rights because they were so darn polite, but I can’t seem to recall… well, any!

Honestly, what the hell is this person on about, have they any knowledge at all about the civil rights movement?

I’m here as a father of a soon-to-be teenage trans girl. Even though no one in our family every questioned the reality of this journey, I feel the need to educate myself and learn from the stories that people kindly share in places like this.

I can also add that if anyone needs a kind word from a dad, I’m here for you.
