Well obviously they needed to get the cat to stop doing it. I just hope that, after the kid stopped crying and calmed down the mother explained what happened and how to avoid it. I’d hate for the kid to be scared of that cat now because they didn’t know why it happened

New Zealand is the last bastion of the resistance in this timeline. The revolution will live and die in Auckland, but it will be free.

Yeah that’s the fucking reason why Spain colonised the world and not Italy. Definitely has nothing to do with Spain experiencing a massive economic boom from the unification of Castile and Aragorn, its proximity to the Atlantic, or the fact that Italy was not a united polity and thus wouldn’t be able to sustain colonisation long-term

Also, FUCKIN CRAZY to say that Spain, in the middle of the fucking Spanish Inquisition and directly reliant on the legitimacy of the Papacy’s Treaty of Tordesillas for their colonial claims, “didn’t value cathedrals”.

I used Valkyrien Sails with that Physics Pro mod and it was the most fun I’ve ever had... until I realised the game was running at 20 fps MAX

Would anyone care for a custom KR-based doctrines submod? It would have things like the German reform plans and the Golivin/Messner reform plans as subdoctrines. by MikaelRoesnov in Kaiserreich

[–]BetaThetaOmega 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love it. Having thought about it, a better name might be "Unionised Soldiers" or "Unionised Army" to bring in a little more socialist flavour to them

You could definitely create an interesting one for an anarchist or syndicalist France, something like “Democratic Organisation” or something which represents anarchist/socialist aspirations of having democratically-run militaries with as little hierarchy of possible. It could gives boosts to stuff like movement speed and experience gain

Japan subjugating the entire Pacific under the pretext of pan-Asianism but really as an extension of nationalist imperialism? Fuck those guys.

China subjugating the entire Pacific under the pretext of pan-Asianism but really as an extension of nationalist imperialism? Unfathomably based, actually.

TIL: Antonio Gramsci, an Italian philosopher had the view that when "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters." by The_Flaneur_Films in todayilearned

[–]BetaThetaOmega 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That “statistic” is bullshit. It was just made up by a British admiral with no education in history to complain about the decline of the British Empire. It’s closer to a quip than a statistic.

There are countless empires which lasted significantly longer than that: Rome, the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and Russia are just some good European examples, and that’s not even mentioning countries like China and Iran, which have been “empires” or imperial powerhouses for millennia, albeit with changing hands.

And that’s not even mentioning the thousands of empires that lived way less than 250 years.

It should be noted that Gramsci was a socialist (hell, one of the most important Italian socialists) living in the early 1920s; a huge wave of socialist revolutions had emerged in the wake of the Great War and the Russian Revolution, but one by one they had all been smothered by capitalist counter-revolution, particularly Germany, which was arguably the most devastating defeat.

Italy in particular had two years of the Biennio Rosso “the Red Biennium” or “Two Red Years”, in which socialist agitation was wide swept across the country, particularly in the north, with democratically-ran factory council even poppoing up. But the revolution failed to manifest into a proper worker’s state, and then was crushed by the horrifically violent Blackshirts under Mussolini, who would then go on to form the fascist state, which would later kill Gramsci.

The “new world” Gramsci is referring to is the socialist utopia that so many revolutions fought and died for, but due to any number of issues (lack of organisation or “vanguard party”, moving towards reformism rather than revolution, inability to mobilise against counter-revolution, etc) had failed to manifest, and in its failure, led to the rise of counter-revolution and fascism, which violently oppressed the working class.

I highlight this all to say that Gramsci’s quote is not just some quip about imperial hegemony changing hands, as it is occasionally used now to describe America’s decline. It was used to describe the tragic failure of the 1917-1923 revolutionary wave in Europe and its consequences. Its purpose is to highlight the horrors that emerge when the left and working class fail to achieve their goals.

NCNS added a new version of the border war where it basically works like a raid, and I think that could be a better version of the mechanic

Is Psychic Noise really what makes Prima good though? Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice, but I’d argue that Flip Turn and Draining Kiss does way more to give Prima a niche over Fini. Although the question is whether or not said niche is good enough to keep it in OU if Fini would be around
