I find it very strange that it mentions cracking down on anti-Imperialism, as it admits that there is an Empire, and it's authoritarian. Like, isn't the whole game pretending that we're in a liberal democracy?

I mean, the past year here in Germany has been a real eye-opener for me as a reasonably well integrated white immigrant. It's fucking gross, to be honest.

I am German and I feel the same. It's incredible.

Not gonna lie, that 88 in your username is a bit disconcerting all things considered.

I'm sorry about the "88".

When I made the account some 14 years ago, I had no idea about the meaning of "88".

My GF at the time was Japanese, "koi" is a symbol of luck in Japan and "8" or "88" are considered lucky numbers in East Asia.

I didn't expect Nazis would rise again.

My grandmother said "The Germans may be stupid, but they will not be that stupid to follow Nazis again." Yet here we are.

It's definitely shitty when shit people coopt symbols and cultural things. The swastika being a symbol for peace, for example. 

In a better timeline your username would be such a simple and nice thing, but yes, here we are again. Shit people causing normal people to mistrust each other over innocuous things.

I don't hold your username against you, it was just a shitty reaction brought on by so many bots online with all these numbers in their names and literal nazis posting garbage constantly. I'm just so over it, tbh.
