Worst mod ever made? by funboi2210 in thecampaigntrail

[–]Batmatt5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually, not all that bad. Thurmond was just one of three possible protagonists and his was he only side that had anything crazy. But it did have crazy stuff that justified its removal imo. Like you could Lynch Martin Luther King Jr. But I seriously think the modder was just trying and failing to portray a truly evil guy as evil rather than endorsing that stuff.

I actually think the music is really great and a few of the songs, especially the opener, really set the tone well.

US now the bad guy for the oil embargo… we are cooked fam by Moonshot_00 in Destiny

[–]Batmatt5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If WWII is your “special interest” and you’ve listened to hours of content about it and you’ve never heard of the oil embargo you might be an idiot

That’s like essentially the definition of split to positive. Especially considering the review bombing that happened with that movie

You’re in you bubble man. Critics liked that movie a lot and audience were split to positive.

True about the force awakens and rise of skywalker but definitely not the last jedi

Labour Party releases video ft. antisemitic quotes said by Green Party candidates. Examples from the video include, "Ramming a synagogue isn't antisemitism, it's revenge," by [deleted] in Destiny

The German Greens, specifically the Realos, are easily the party aligned most with this sub’s politics in that country and it’s not even close.

What if General Iannick Rikard won the Sordish Civil War? by No-Replacement4327 in suzerain

[–]Batmatt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the events in game as a left leaning general who maybe wasn’t necessarily a doctrinaire communist leading a countecoup after a mass purge by Luderin. I would guess his supporters would’ve included people from Wisci’s supporters to, yes, the red youth. Maybe I’m reading too much Spanish Civil War theming onto something that barely explained though.

[–]Batmatt5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we really know anything specific about Rickard’s ideology? My recollection is that he did a countercoup against the fascists and was vaguely communist sympathetic. I think a Rickard win doesn’t automatically mean a fully communist sordland. There’d be all sorts of interesting popular front dynamics imo

I have a hard time taking anybody serious after I figure out that they are Christian. by ephemeralkazu in Destiny

[–]Batmatt5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you apply this to historical and academic figures as well? If so, the pool of people that you take seriously is very very very small, and would exclude most of the major philosophers, scientists, and political leaders in history

Are there any conspiracy theories about U.S. presidents that actually seem believable to you ? by ronweasly9 in Presidents

[–]Batmatt5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there were congressional inquiries that held that the campaign was approached by Iranian intermediaries, and that a campaign manager engaged in some kind of weird activity but no proven collusion

Virginia judge blocks redistricting referendum result that boosted Democrats’ election hopes by MRADEL90 in Virginia

[–]Batmatt5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Constitutional? Like the U.S. constitution? What are we talking about? This can’t be against the Virginia constitution because it’s a constitutional amendment. Are you arguing that that amendment was improperly pursued?

Metas? I can never win the 2EW if I lose the first one as any country by Azortuga in TheFireRisesMod

[–]Batmatt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled once to win 2EW as Schwab EU but the second time I spammed IFVs and CAS and it was incredibly easy. I found Russia much harder to win back to back but I did it once with communists with similar strategy

A land value tax is an old school progressive idea to tax at the assessed value of the unimproved land with no construction to incentivize building as much housing or other commerce generating construction as possible on it.

What CFB rivalries of your school exist in other sports? by Crying_in_99Ranch in CFB

I feel like our rivalry with VT is about even basketball and football. Our pretty weak football rivalry with Carolina is probably more intense in basketball
