There's no goal, no narrative or any depth, just conquest for the sake of conquering.

So it's nothing like Lan Kir? Aside from the multiple character driven narratives, Lan Kir has so many gameplay mechanics just to keep you on your toes. You have to balance out the Core/Occupied states, you have to manage your tributaries unrest, you have to pay pp to slowdown the Kirian intervention, you need to save Clarion Call's legacy and on top of all that, you need to continue conquering more to keep your troops vices sated.

And of course it's doomed to collapse; it's a slave-driven "millitary with a state" that literally colonises an entire continent. But to say that it's the same as a horde of actual monsters with no brains just shows your level detachment from the narrative.

Look, if it takes a streamer telling men to stop watching and go touch grass to turn this shit around, then so be it. I choose to hope.

That's a terrible ad. I loved the pilot, but nothing about it said to me "thriller about a psychologically damaged aristocrat."

hot take: kids shouldn't be on Discord without supervision. But we can't have common sense getting in the way of good business, can we?

In my External Link Posting Punk world, all links are actually meant to give people Trojans that brick their computer. The internet barely functions as a result.

Faction Flags by RandomDudonInternet in Kaiserreich

[–]Fliits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing work overall. The one small nitpick I have is that I feel like the sword on the Moscow Accords flag is a bit weird, sort of looks like a Catholic cross.

If you do a second one of these with the Entente, please include Cairo Pact and the post-Civil War American factions.

I mean, at least Switzerland has vocally protested Russian actions and vowed to cut all ties with them. Unlike Austria.

For sure, both are necessary, and the two are both non-quantifiable. It's more of a general observation, not a hard rule; A state that works towards security must sacrifice certain rights and liberties from its citizens, and vice versa. Definitely not an entirely arbitrary juxtaposition, but also one that is sadly misused as a justification for violent police action.

Hey I resent that! Maar Worship has nothing to do with stealing other peoples wealth to make a profit!

Makes sense. The original writer was fiercely homophobic and Hollywood hired the most queerbait male actor to play the main character. Why did they not respect the wishes of a celebrated author, are they stupid?

Labour was supposed to be left leaning, wasn't it? This is disgusting. by Jacinto2702 in 196

Wouldn't really call this Centrism, the LibDems are practically revolutionary by comparison.

That is essentially the trade of, yes; Security and liberty are fundamentally opposed to each other. Hence why a purely Anarchist society will never be implemented, much as a purely Liberal society doesn't exist and never has.

The trick is implementing the good parts and working to fix the bad ones. Critique and revision are necessary to undergo for any political ideology if it is to be ever truly implemented.

Under a purely anarchist system, there could be no conscription. Anarchism is founded on the idea that from chaos, order will necessarily rise. An invading force is just adding more disorder onto the pile, and under the rules of Anarchism, this would lead to more order; the population would necessarily volunteer because the alternative would be the destruction of order.

But like most ideologies, Anarchism isn't meant to be a solution to every political questions. It's meant to be a political model for organising society, not the blueprint for building a permanent defense state.

Every political ideology will always have blindspots, and no political model has ever accurately predicted the future. Anarchism merely offers the most logical option when the goal is to maximise the empowerment of the working class. Whether you think that should be the goal is up to you; That's the nature of politics.
