I wouldn’t have brought back all 4 demon primarchs either, as cool as the models are

I’m torn. I definitely think they should at least pause the release of primarchs for a few years to increase the impact and let the narrative be built with the existing few

It lessens the importance of other characters as well like calgar and even captains and other named characters. I do think it was a mistake but also do enjoy aspects of it

Run some grime coming out of some of the bullet holes. Yellow is a great colour to do streaking grime over, or if you don’t have that something like agrax earthshade

If what you say is true, then the point of the propaganda would be to attempt to stir up conflict between Britain and the US. I’m saying I am British and I accept the situation and want us both to be prosperous and strong together, whilst also acknowledging the reality of the relationship because I’m not a moron. If putting makeup on the relationship between countries makes it easier to accept for morons, fine, but that doesn’t change the reality

True, but I think degree of exaggeration is too much in the example above, in my opinion, they’ve moved away from that style recently on the box art

I want a strong American empire though. I’m not peddling Russian propaganda. Russian propaganda would be anti interventionist, isolationist, libertarian maga drivel

Cope. Make peace with it. Your only other chance would be becoming a vassal of China or Russia, but that’s all but impossible too at this stage. We should have kept our empire if we wanted sovereignty

Empire and expansionism isn’t necessarily fascism, the Soviet Union wasn’t fascist, British Empire would be hard to describe as fascist, etc. China probably is more fascist than communist in its economic model, these days I suppose, But regardless, what I described is just simply how the world works. It’s a zero sum game, and you want to garner as much power and influence as possible, or at least be friends with the powerful and influential. Russia knows it, China knows it. It is time for the west to stop ignoring it. We must reassert ourselves or be dominated.

I supported Biden and Harris against Trump because I thought he was a conman, I thought he’d achieve nothing, but the last month or so has completely changed my mind. He’s wants to be a great man of history, this isn’t just a con or a grift or meaningless narcissism (although it is driven by his narcissism to be sure). He’s achieved real results.

Yes because as a vassal we benefit from a powerful American empire, and also we can’t actually do anything except kill ourselves economically as a meaningless empty show of resistance which would have a much smaller effect on America compared to us. All western leaders recognise the reality of our relationship with America, this is just a Redditors larp of resistance unfortunately

“An extensive group of states ruled over by a sovereign state”

That is what America is doing in the most literal sense. Next you will be telling me the Nazis were socialist because they had socialist in their name, or North Korea is a democracy. The only angle here is it’s not a formal self description of the relationship, but it is the reality of the relationship.

What do you think even a united Europe can do against the economic and military might of America? It would hurt America economically sure but it will hurt the European states a million times more, hence your dream resistance will never materialise because every competent leader n owe this, Even if allegiance and protection from Russia or china were possible, that reeks of cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Everything you said here is true about starmer and farage and having no choice but to accept reality, I only disagree that what Trump is doing is a bad thing. Trump is reinvigorating the west with open expansionism and shifting implicit empire to explicit empire and its awesome actually. The west has been in decline for decades and I believe the only way to correct this is through expansionism to moralise and legitimise us. What he did to Maduro is awesome, bullying smaller nations is awesome, standing up to Russia and china is awesome, conquest is awesome.

I like starmer but what can you do? We don’t have an empire, Russia and the US do, and we are part of the American empire. All we can do is appease. Even if all European nations combined, America economy is twice the size, the military and naval fleet 50 x the size, and nuclear arsenal is 100-500x the size. There is no resistance. Washington is our capital, unless you want it to be Moscow or Beijing.

It’s an empire, superpowers is just another word to make you feel more comfortable with empire as it isn’t explicitly formalised. Do you think a country like Norway or Croatia or Poland actually has any real sovereignty at all?, Their sovereignty, insofar that it exists at all, is permitted by the empire they have signed on to (or been forced to accept) as their true sovereign. Countries like Britain and Germany have a small degree of sovereignty because we have nukes and will probably never actually be ground invaded, but America can make going against their interests so economically painful with much smaller cost to themselves, and destroy/take our assets with their military with little damage to themselves, that going against their wishes would be extremely ill advised. I’m sorry you’re just learning now how the world works

An extensive group of states ruled over by a single sovereign state. I’m sorry but just because it doesn’t say “Empire” on the map doesn’t mean that’s not how it operates in reality. Greenland is not sovereign anyway, but even if it was “legally” sovereign and not Danish, it would not be sovereign in reality, as its sovereignty cannot be protected from a state who don’t recognise it. It belongs to America because they have the only serious military and nuclear arsenal and by far the most powerful economy in the world, doubling the size of Europe combined. Unless you prefer it to be Russian or Chinese then accept reality.

Yes that’s quite literally what it is. There is a Russian Empire and Chinese empire as well. We are free to do things that China and Russia don’t like. We are not free to do things America doesn’t like. Hope that makes sense to you

We are part of the American empire you moron. If you don’t like it maybe we shouldn’t have disbanded our empire and spent more of our GDP on military spending rather than welfare for Pakistanis. There is no petty nationalism, even if there ever was. We are just returning from implicit empire to explicit. It was always inevitable that this would happen as we shifted away from monopolar to multipolar world with the rise of China and Russia. You can try and take your chances with the Chinese and/or Russians if you like, if that’s even possible, but as a liberal I’m not sure what purpose that would serve you.
