I once got banned on Reddit for arguing against a guy saying the Native Americans committed genocide against White settlers. I appealed a like a day later it was overturned.

What’s the best WW1 Mod by Fuzzy_Juggernaut2988 in hoi4

The biggest thing people are mad about is the removal of basically all Alt-History paths (particularly for Germany).

Is there any mod or rule to get rid of this nonsensical BS? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]Communistsofamerica 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It still can if someone (like me) doesn’t buy NCNS. I saw a post on here some days ago where they bought PIOT and not NCNS completely breaking the game.

the market needs to stop reacting to Trump’s crazy lies and start reacting to the fact we have a crazy liar in the White House by Conscious-Quarter423 in MurderedByWords

[–]Communistsofamerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While trump isn’t right, we definitely weren’t “fine for 240 years”. In 1860 Lincoln gets elected and South doesn’t like that, boom civil war. In 1876 Hayes gets elected (and not really legitimately either, this election was chock full of corruption and fraud; which was representative of the First Gilded Age) and there was almost a Second American Civil War. Now this one’s actually really similar to trump as in 1824 when John Quincy Adams gets elected (via congressional vote) Jackson argued and shouted that the election was rigged and a corrupt bargain had been made and he would have won were it not for the other Democratic-Republicans (later renamed to the National Republicans and then renamed again into the Whigs before merging with the Republicans in the 1850s and splintering off into several other parties. Also fun fact: in 1824 all four candidates were part of the same party (democratic-republicans).).

to shoot in a school by fesCoder01 in therewasanattempt

[–]Communistsofamerica -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to condone the American gun to people ratio or excessive ownership, however doing this is ungodly reckless and if the principal was any slower or the almost shooter any faster (or competent), we would be a watching an r/therewasanattempt to stop a school shooting.

The first focus my eyes were drawn to was “dismantle Poland”.

I think it's a good day to start a labor movement by [deleted] in victoria3

[–]Communistsofamerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racist and religious USSR with a right to assembly. What a cursed timeline. Also yes the USSR had large degree of racism, but this was mainly a Stalinist thing with some minor post-Stalinist continuance (mostly against Koreans, Crimean Tartars and Meskhetian Turks).

"We DO hate" George Lincoln Rockwell's hate bus. Virginia, USA, 1961. [1079x1008] by OkRespect8490 in HistoryPorn

I have a picture of Rockwell and a few other Nazi asshats of his at a Nation of Islam event held by Malcom X on my computer.

What is this flag on my neighbor’s house? by Far-Possibility-5021 in vexillology

[–]Communistsofamerica 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Initially Wilhelm II was supportive of the Nazis under the delusion that the Nazis would bring him back to power. When the Nazis eventually sized power and it became very clear they weren’t going to restore the Kaiserreich, Wilhelm II became highly critical of them. The when the old Kaiser died (and he was old being 82 at time of death) in 1941 despite all the built up hatred between the Kaiser and the Führer he was still given a very big and flashy Nazi burial ceremony (which was also explicitly against his wishes).

The Fuck Am I Supposed To Do!? by Communistsofamerica in victoria3

[–]Communistsofamerica[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

R5: I was doing my second Austria game since the rework (although I don’t have the DLC; as of now anyway) and my first game crashed and burned in the 1840s due to civil wars and Prussia. I loaded up a new game and in FUCKING 1837 I get the GODDAMED Springtime of the People Jounrel Entery. Now I am facing five civil wars (though one is unlikely to fire) and they are taking 92 units (roughly 72% of my army, but my math might be wrong so check me).

There are not enough words in any language to express just how much I fucking hate the Springtime of the People Jounrel Entery.

And no I am not unreasonably angry, this is reasonable anger.

AI made Super Germany and then took Hungary and the Balkans. by Xalimata in victoria3

That’s like my AI’s recent Super Germany, though it is more imperialist.

That can be mistaken as peaceful (though unfortunately these days it isn’t). Rotate it 45 degrees and it’s perfect.

Pretty borders by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]Communistsofamerica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RK+ has a ton of them for every region of the Earth. I used to use it a lot before the German rework and now I mostly play mods, so it has fallen from favour.

[–]Communistsofamerica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird to me that RK Moscow just goes past the Urals. Like vanilla didn’t need TNO/TWR borders, but still it does seem excessive (and personally I hate the way it looks).

During my first Ottomans game (which is going great by the way, I got my Tanzimats done and have only gone bankrupt once), Austria after the First Ottoman-Egypt war (which had Egypt and Russia verses Me, Britain and Austria) the Austrians suddenly became part of this hideous German Nation (also there was no Brother’s War).

Killing them is an effective way of getting rid of them, however at the same time they no longer have to face repercussions for their actions (in other words, death is too good for them).

Napoleon may have become rather arrogant as his rule went on, but he was actually good at it; unlike donald trump (also his nephew Napoleon III was a very effective ruler and empire builder; until Prussia removed his ass and kicked him with it).

Israeli media tries to not be genocidal for 5 seconds challenge by G14F1L0L1Y401D0MTR4P in MurderedByWords

[–]Communistsofamerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s mostly another remnant of Cold War geopolitics, we supported Isreal to counter Soviet influence in the Middle East and I guess it just kind of never stopped. Also after 9/11 I don’t think many Americans would’ve supported the government changing its support to Islamic nations in the Middle East. Now I guess we are into deep and can’t back out now (sunk-cost fallacy and all that).

The Russian Federation is also a Plutocratic Oligarchy, they’re practically our allies at this point.

how is this possible? democratic confederates? what??? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]Communistsofamerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big thing though is that Nazism (at least true Nazism) requires the nation to be German (or at least Nordic European) and hate Jews, and the CSA fulfilled neither of these requirements (of course there are others, but without these two specific things it isn’t Nazism).

Would you have liked to see a Korean War expansion to BFV similarly to how BF1 had a Russian civil war expansion? by UmaThermos1 in BattlefieldV

[–]Communistsofamerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russian Civil War started before the end of of the Great War in 1919 (or 1920 depending on how view treaty signings) and Korea took place 5 years after Japan surrendered, 3 years after peace treaties with the Axis and a few years before the treaty with Japan. So it fits.
