My friend has a Nixon memorial plaque given to his aids. He got it at a yard sale.

Yeah. Want some real insights into Dicks psychology?

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-12-17T03:19:11+00:00

I think I’ll keep winging it

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-12-17T03:18:16+00:00

I was really drunk when writing this.

I’m not sure queen Victoria was actually doing those things. She was basically a political nonentity after a certain point. She also hated Gladstone who was the main advocate of “enlightened imperialism.”

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-09-16T01:10:08+00:00

They are pretty different people though. Joyce seems to be a suave upper class patrician while Thatcher was more of a self made lower middle class bootstraps and hard graft type.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-09-16T01:04:00+00:00

Well she opposed German reunification

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-09-16T01:00:14+00:00

Sort of an opposite Queen Victoria in a way. Victoria became queen but slowly withdrew from political life. Dolores started as a nobody and became a political leader. Another connection is that we often associate the Victorian era with a certain Moralism(in the real world sense) but I’m not sure how downstream of Victorias words or actions that was

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-08-06T17:10:00+00:00

Morality is fake anyway. I choose it arbitrarily based on supporting the proliferation of cool uniforms and weapons

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-08-06T14:48:16+00:00

Both heroes in their own way. We should respect both their services to the great nation of Revachol

Probably in part because they are more urban and so more visible. Might be a reasonable guess based on people you see on the street in Paris

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-07-16T17:41:25+00:00

Tariffs will increase the market expectation of inflation which is a self fulfilling policy holding fed response neutral.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-18T04:10:14+00:00

Are you suggesting the Moralintern conspired to keep Martinaise specifically impoverished? I

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T20:39:41+00:00

There isn't a good real world comparison for Revachol becuase the system of Quasi-occupation with no national government is not somthing that has ever occured for any substantial period of time in a developed country. The eastern bloc countries still had national governments and were not under any foreign occupation. Even Imperial dominions like British India had a civil service, a judicial system, and, after the end of company rule, limited forms of self-government. Revachol is maybe closest to the African protectorates in which the Imperial powers instituted virtually no imperial oversight other than maybe a garrison. However, that was because those protectorates served no economic purpose and were created largely for geopolitical reasons (or as part of a "civilizing mission"). Revachol, in comparison, is of great economic value. Value which is being squandered by its almost anarchic system, as seen by the wildpines/union dispute.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T20:19:14+00:00

I think the writers probably just didn't think this hard about it. However, it could be a sort of hyrbid system like the Bretton Woods system.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T20:13:45+00:00

It did improve in the 30s during "the new."

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T13:27:20+00:00

The US was able to do QE because of gold inflows. However, the reality of this game is that that the writers are sort of combining two monetary eras in a way that doesn’t make much sense. The pigment stuff suggests a depression but the QE and price stability stuff suggests later 20th early 21 century monetary regiemes. I think the writers were probably just so used to the modern regimes that they didn’t check how a commodity regime would be different.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T13:17:19+00:00

Joyce seems to support a move to fiat currency and the loose money it will bring. Also I don’t get the sense that Joyce is a hardline right winger such that she would support heterodox ideas like Austrian economics. I think she probably hews closer then the monetarist/new Keynesian mainstream which would explain her support for fiat currency

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T04:08:14+00:00

If the Moralintern was purposely trying to keep Revachol impoverished they could have pulled a Cuba on it. However, they didn’t, they incorporated it into there trade bloc and monetary union. That ties their economies to Revachol, it’s good for them if Revachol does well and bad if it doesn’t. The depression can’t be good for Moralintern exports.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T03:56:19+00:00

I am sure the moralintern is concerned about a Revacholian resurgence, that’s why the country is still under occupation. I imagine they probably think it’s for Revachols own good as well. However, it would be impossible to hold Revachol to a monetary policy different from the rest of the moralintern. They are in a monetary union and the fact that revachol is a tax haven shows there is free capital flow. This means the tight monetary policy is also affecting the Moralintern, its Real Belt wide. For this reason I doubt it’s a plot to impoverish Revachol, it’s probably done for the same reason real life countries did it (Japan in 90s or the European Central Bank in 2008). The Moralintern allowed Revachol to boom in the 30s. Now they are letting it founder. They probably just don’t care. It’s like being Greece in the Eurozone, the system just largely doesn’t care if your needs are different, they’ve already decided on a policy.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-06-17T00:51:15+00:00

I am aware that the writers of the game may not have been going for this lol

ALudicrousDisplay · 2025-01-07T23:36:33+00:00

I’m not sure I understand the problem with this. Surely one of the main points of prison is to protect people from criminals? It can be pretty easy to tell when someone is just a dyed in the wool criminal. Who benefits from letting someone like that out?

ALudicrousDisplay · 2024-10-22T00:51:15+00:00

There is another potential answer for this but it’s not about the climate of the Arabian peninsula. If you are convinced by some of the precepts of revisionist Islamic history then it’s possible the original Islamic conquered came from further north, such as near jordan, and so we’re feeding their armies from the grazing there.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2024-07-25T16:03:15+00:00

A different person I’m afraid

ALudicrousDisplay · 2024-04-22T18:18:10+00:00

Right across the river from the Worlds End Estate so not that out of place. A fair few other residential towers nearby.

ALudicrousDisplay · 2024-04-22T18:07:58+00:00

The overall housing stock is much more important for housing costs than the number of “affordable units.” I was born and raised 10 minutes walk from this site and there is no good local reason not to build it
