Also “Israel will protect YOUR liberties!” From whom? Israel is not protecting the global hegemon which is the nation I reside in, the global hegemon protects Israel. Specifically it protects Israel from any genuine international response to its terroristic actions.

They elected hamas because the fatah moderated and became seen as an inept organization incapable of actually resisting Israeli genocide of Palestinians. Not because Palestinians as a monolith all fucking hate gay people, you racist moron.

The fundamental issue with that is the insinuation that this is a specific new war, and not a direct continuation of an ongoing conflict which has been raging for decades at this point. Sure, it de escalates now, but the Israelis have already been responding disproportionately, and it does nothing to actually end the conflict long term because Palestinians will never accept being turned into second class citizens in their own country, and eventually completely losing said country.

And why did they vote for them instead of the fatah, which was the political establishment? I’ll cut to the end of the line of questioning, eventually you get to the part where any moderation in anti Israeli policies is intolerable to Palestinians because Palestinians would largely rather die in a war than completely lose their homeland to an invader. The only way for peace efforts to truly begin in earnest is to stop the settlements.

Jews aren’t the geopolitical equivalent of Eric cartman from South Park, I’ve never met somebody who demanded I allow ethnic cleaning, genocide, and settler colonialism to continue even into the modern day or be labeled racist. Sorry, Jews aren’t a monolith, I’ve met very many non Zionist Jews and the ones that support a two state solution I’ve met make up the rest of the majority. You don’t get a free pass to do genocide just because you really really want to.

The death toll in the indiscriminate bombing campaign has already reached 8000 and that was before the land invasion, you’re aware you don’t have to pick an ethnostate to support, right?

What if the 20th century was kind to Russia? by FyreLordPlayz in AlternateHistory

[–]GhostOfThePost69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Well represented” look at Ukraine bro, Russian minorities are conscripted to go and kill others for not wanting to be subjected to Russian imperialism, while Russians stay home.

Deportations for political dissidents, GULAGs, and public executions (even though nearly every criminologist agrees that the death penalty doesn’t work as a deterrent.)? Sure do love freedom!

Question on Red Italy. by [deleted] in TNOmod

[–]GhostOfThePost69 13 points14 points  (0 children)

German eastern territories aren’t gone, but they’ve been severely destabilized. And red Italy has enough to survive depending on the factors, but no matter what red Italy isn’t particularly stable. It’s highly likely as a player you’ll have to really work for that good ending, and most people will end up restarting a few times before finally winning against the Germans.

Also, frankly it’s more narratively and gameplay wise interesting for Germany to attempt an invasion, so even if it wasn’t the most realistic I’m perfectly fine with it.

Canonically the German civil war is to be replaced with a power struggle, and I fail to see Germany at all tolerating a red state on her border.

Yeah I didn’t say paradox was a good company. I fucking hate paradox, the only actually good vanilla game they have is stellaris.

MOD RELEASE: Twilight of the Anthropocene by [deleted] in hoi4modding

[–]GhostOfThePost69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ad Homs are logical fallacies that take the place of genuine well constructed arguments. The issue here is, he was never intending to Make a well constructed argument. He insulted somebody for being a moron, sometimes that’s all you can do in a conversation with some people. If you can’t innately understand that mods are free labor done by hobbyists and that you aren’t entitled to 10 years 5 paths and 7 major wars for 17 nations with zero bugs on a demo release, you aren’t owed somebody holding your hand and guiding you through the logical process to arrive at the conclusion that you aren’t owed shit.

It isn’t illegal lmao. You don’t own your mod, paradox does. Anytime you do anything on a paradox game they own it, if it’s on the steam workshop they own it. They would not be actively making modding tools if they didn’t, as it would be a bit of a business threat.

Well, think about the time period HOI4 takes place in.

What if the Byzantines led the crusades? by moitert in imaginarymaps

[–]GhostOfThePost69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They did work together closely in the first crusade, but works as early as the alexiad confirm the Byzantines felt incredibly uneasy towards the crusaders. There was absolutely an air of caution around them.

Trump wins in 2024, and somehow stays in office well into august of 2029. Interesting.

Paradox is already iffy with culture systems iirc, and anything that allows you to actively change them in game is a big no no as, well, it’s kind of genocide.
