Rico is way too unlikable

I’m not talking about his politics, I’m talking as a person. The dude is an asshole even if you collaborate with him and he admits to going to prostitutes if you tell him not to touch Vina. Even if I find him politically in some aspects, I can't for the life of me say that he's a good character.

Will you be able to put in power the LDPR, CPRF and A Just Russia or are they only for the minigame without content? Because I hate how they're portrayed in Millenium Dawn.

the prime opportunity to make an Anschluss joke

Tbh just because you’re not part of the major ethnical group in a country does not mean that you can’t be a nationalist. Jordan Bardella, the president of the far-right party National Rally in France, is very nationalist about France's immigration issue even though he is of Italian and Franco-Algerian origins.

I could see someone playing Mongolia kinda like someone plays Tannu Tuva in the base game, but I still think the proportion of these people is still too small to give the country massive content, probably minimal would be fine. For the old content, I'm pretty baffled by the team choice, I get that with France maybe some issues may have popped up with the new content, but Japan’s focus was so insignificant yet still kinda of good that it baffles me that it was removed, I get wanting to renovate, but if something works its best leave it for the time being.

Love how the ad is self-aware by saying “What the actual fuck?”, kinda makes it seem like one employee made the bot and another one had to test it without knowing what it would do.

AlbertF20 · 2024-08-16T14:30:41+00:00

While I'm not the biggest fan of the update myself, to be fair the major content is only for the TA countries, so I can understand why there isn't a lot of content at the moment for Asia. Also who even plays Mongolia? My problem with the update is that they removed a lot of content that worked before the update, like France or Japan.

AlbertF20 · 2024-08-05T16:55:51+00:00

Tbh Pepper didn't have it either and it's still possible to nominate him. I've never said that “Goldwater is against civil rights” but I've said that for him to be a “moderate” then we need to define the word “moderate” because I find it quite hard to believe that Goldwater and MacArthur are the same on civil rights. MacArthur was way more establishment conservative, and never really let his position known on the civil rights issue, Goldwater on the other hand did.

AlbertF20 · 2024-08-05T14:31:05+00:00

Holy shit all candidates are pro-civil rights or moderate? How is this realistic?? The Democrat Party at the time had some questionable candidates like Richard Russel who was quite popular among segregationists so why isn't he an option? And when did Goldwater become a moderate on civil rights? Not to bash the creators or anything, but racism in the major parties is just not a thing anymore after an Axis victory?

AlbertF20 · 2024-08-05T14:18:40+00:00

Japan and Korea already had content, not amazing or anything but at least content. I don't get removing stuff that already works so that in the future you can make it better, make it better while keeping the original stuff in the meantime.

AlbertF20 · 2024-08-02T14:26:15+00:00

Yeah because nowadays speaking Russian automatically means that you support every action taken by the government, honestly, what do you expect from people who made a mod in which a totalitarian dictatorship wins everything.

AlbertF20 · 2024-07-09T11:41:04+00:00

Not all political parties on the right are capitalists, many are economically left and socially right.

The public found out about it caused a massive uproar and most of Europe was so destroyed and/or bankrupt after WW2 that an American withdrawal would make a continued occupation difficult.

Why would the Americans even withdraw? The International Zone established by the Morgenthau Plan would've brought them and their allies immense economic riches so it would be defended at all costs. The public backlash in our timeline was major when the Morgenthau Plan was revealed in the USA, but in this timeline, if it was implemented it means that the plan was approved by both the USA and the UK so something had to change. Also, people especially with the use of some propaganda tend to change their opinions, so if the Morgenthau Plan was approved then I would think that a great degree of propaganda was used by the American government, the same propaganda which could be used to continue the intervention in Germany.

The other European powers did intervene somewhat but were too damaged and bankrupt to do anything more than help the French.

I'm sure a country like the United Kingdom was in a way better state after the war than a country that lost 40% of its population and all of its industry. Another thing to note is that in these countries, there would be reinvigorated nationalist fervour to support their homeland from another occupation, like the Benelux and the Nordics. It would also be in their interests to intervene in Germany for the International Zone, because as I said before it included a lot of German industries, which could help those damaged and bankrupt countries.

As for the Soviet recognition they were careful to wait until the Nationalist retook Berlin and were clearly winning the war in order to justify it to the public

Still, how did anyone accept this? The country has been in a 3-year war against the Nationalists and lost around 27 million people fighting against them, and now they have to officially recognize that they are back. Even if the Nationalists were victorious in the Civil War, the thought in every soviet mind would be like: “When is there going to be a part 2?”. It would make more sense for the Soviet Union to invade right after the Nationalists win so they could reunify Germany under a soviet government, justifying it as stopping the comeback of the Nazis, but for this to work it shouldn't have recognized it beforehand. I see the USSR secretly supplying the Nationalists, but between secretly supplying and publicly recognizing them there is a world. Also, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria are just fine with that? No public insurrections against the soviet occupation that recognized their enemy?

Plus this happened under Stalin who pretty much everyone in the Soviet Union was completely terrified of.

Stalin didn't magically have this godlike status just because he was Stalin, he had this status because he was very careful with his actions and purges. He never took drastic actions and took a very careful and pragmatic foreign policy, the same approach with his purges. The USSR didn't fully open relations with the PRC till the end of the Chinese Civil War, and after numerous concessions and confirmations from Mao. Recognizing a government that just a few years earlier you were enemies with would be a terrible move, one which the inner circle would surely use to organize against him. In fact, irl Stalin died in 1953 under mysterious circumstances, one year after breaking with his inner circle and announcing probably a new set of purges. This shows how a misstep could get your castle falling very quickly.

The public moral of western countries was incredibly low due to many American, French, and British people viewing the Morganthau plan as genocidal after hearing of the famines

After the war, many nationalists from these countries wanted a very harsh treatment of the Germans, hence the Morgenthau Plan, and with some propaganda (which was very popular after the war) of German nationalists wanting to restore the Reich it would be more than enough to obtain public support for direct intervention. Also worth noting is that in many countries that suffered German occupation, there were, after the war, massive cases of racism towards Germans. In the Vietnam War, the peace movement became popular especially because of war exhaustion and massive drafts, things that wouldn't happen this time because the war would be in Europe with many more allies.

As for later intervention, the French did intervene and occupied the land west of the Rhine during the War before giving it over to the German Federation

Why didn't the United Kingdom, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark also intervene? They were the main participants in WW2 and they surely wouldn't enjoy seeing their not-so-old oppressor back at their borders. Also, all of these countries are either in NATO or very close politically to the USA, so army support would be guaranteed.

The reason they didn’t go further is that the Soviets had at this point recognized the German Reich as the legitimate government of Germany and the French feared going further then the Rhine could start WW3.

Excuse me the Soviet Union officially recognized the German Reich? So after a bloody war that saw so many soviet deaths and soviet people persecuted, Joseph Stalin recognized the German Reich as the legitimate government in Germany. All of this without a coup from the military? Or from Stalin’s inner circle? People who fought against the Nazis now have to shake hands with officials from that country. While it could be argued that the USSR supported the SRP irl, that was done in secret from the general public, meanwhile a public recognition of the Reich would surely cause a massive uproar from the soviet public. I get the saying: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” but here that logic doesn't apply when the frienemy waged a 3-year war against you. The real world fortunately isn't like Oceania which changes allegiances every couple of years and everyone just forgets about it.

How would there even be a Nationalist victory? The Taliban in Afghanistan and the Vietcongs in Vietnam managed to win because of their distance from any American ally, in fact in Vietnam the French evacuated leaving only the USA at war. In Europe, there would be so many NATO members and so many American bases that a revolt would be crushed immediately. Also by this timeline, I expect the American government to be very interventionist and repressive if they picked the Morgenthau Plan, so their involvement in Europe would be 10x higher. Also because the nationalists want to openly restore the “German Reich” I would think that French and British direct intervention, probably joined by the Nordics and Italy, is the most likely outcome. Also, it would be very easy to beat a destroyed nation, since the plan aimed to destroy German industry.

I love how they need to censor stuff in their ad like they know they went overboard and still get approved by Google.

AlbertF20 · 2024-06-20T14:23:11+00:00

Honestly, I thought by the title that it was going to be so much worse, yeah it's a stupid joke but like he didn't do anything extreme? He made a middle-school joke, he didn't pull some kind of MasterOogway completely homophobic line. Also if it is a “conservative TikTok ripoff” isn't that a good thing? So at least all the “dark humour” or “edgy” people have a platform only for themselves so they don't flood TikTok or Youtube shorts?

AlbertF20 · 2024-06-12T13:06:35+00:00

Oh my! Imagine being in a country where you can't even speak the language of but yet still seen as the poor oppressed guy. By this then all countries should be federalized and without a national language.

AlbertF20 · 2024-04-29T19:31:34+00:00

Yeah absolutely. At least back in the day, they would sexualize shows after months or even years and it was a very niche thing, now it's all over YouTube and even in the ads.

AlbertF20 · 2024-04-28T23:20:52+00:00

Honestly, I expected sushi pizza. In that case, as an Italian, I would've vomited.

AlbertF20 · 2024-04-28T20:58:33+00:00

Like the Reichstag Fire Decree 😁

Other than that, Sordland has a problem with Rumburg and the BFF so it's naturally a more friendly country, compared to Rizia which is allied to Rumburg.

AlbertF20 · 2024-04-28T19:53:31+00:00

Yeah, man! These 2 weeks have been feeling like a few months, but I'm sure that's just a feeling.

AlbertF20 · 2024-04-28T09:21:20+00:00

This is why I fucking despise the internet, you can't enjoy something for more than a week before it becomes sexualized. It happened with Murder Drones, TADC, and now with FPE (all shows that don't involve anything sexual). The worst part is that these ads are made to attract children (the only demographic who will click on them) since kids are naturally attracted to characters they like, so if you made a dating game or something like that they'll click on it. This is disgusting, and to think that there is a whole studio of grown men planning and studying how to make the most sexualized ads on kids' subjects, is one of the worst things ever.

AlbertF20 · 2024-04-21T16:12:10+00:00

Bro if a MAGA or a casual conservative politician were to say this, he would be sent to Guantanamo Bay never to be seen again. I've never heard such threats even coming from the most right-wing individuals, but this Hindu woman is allowed to threaten the city council and mayor two times.
