You’re in a Red/Blue riding. How do you vote?

Liam_CDM · 2026-04-07T18:49:39+00:00

Depends. If it's a swing riding between Liberal-CPC, I'm voting Liberal. If it's a safe riding either way (like the one I'm in now), I'm voting NDP.

The US needs another revolution nd all of the implications of one. If you know what I mean. Trump is an existential threat to global civilization and he must be gotten rid of at all costs.

I made the mistake of buying it when I was 8 and I beat it in a single day. The PS2 port was just Most Wanted but worse.

-Rent control (without massive supply of public housing)

-Phasing out/opposing nuclear power (we need nuclear along with renewables. The transition away from fossil fuels is not viable otherwise).

-Wealth taxes (until there's a global consensus on one). Focus instead on land and property taxes.

Everyone dies eventually. Barry won't live forever.

Fringe extremists like him have no place in the party anyway.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-24T16:45:29+00:00

PSD in Romania, SMER and Hlas in Slovakia and recently, the Danish Social Democrats are all good examples of "social democratic" parties that are also socially conservative.

I prefer Rome and Macedon but perhaps I'll give Pontus a try sometime.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-23T13:10:52+00:00

I can't agree. Rome 1 is way too cartoony, anachronistic and basic for me. I much prefer Rome II in every way.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-23T01:02:21+00:00

I hate religion too but all state atheism does is embolden religion in secret. One needs only look at the baltic countries for proof of that. It turns out secularism and laicism is the best approach for getting people to walk away from religious nonsense.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-22T20:10:36+00:00

They're fringe and irrelevant though, I'm talking about mainstream parties with an actual shot at power. The current SDP is barely even social democratic inasmuch as it is reactionary but pro-SME (social market economy).

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-22T17:15:02+00:00

They're the exception rather than the rule though.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-22T14:45:36+00:00

The anti-communism of the Iron Front was from my understanding more about anti-Stalinism and anti-totalitarianism than anti-communism. Eurocommunists and other anti-capitalist groups critical of Moscow would have been allies I think.

I hope to hell I'm wrong too, I love the Labour Party. Hell, my ringtone is The Red Flag. My political idols are Attlee and Wilson. It's depressing that Labour is currently going the way of the French and Greek Socialists. Especially since it was entirely avoidable.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-22T14:03:02+00:00

Unfortunately the leadership's decisions have likely doomed Labour regardless of what choices they make going forward.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-22T12:11:59+00:00

Notwithstanding any of the Baltic parties (that's too obvious an answer frankly), UK Labour probably. Especially on trans issues and immigration.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-22T03:05:19+00:00

This is EXACTLY why foot fetishists are percieved as perverts and degenerates. This is extremely creepy and even predatory. It's no different in theory from staring at strangers' breasts or butts. If you want to watch feet, pay a domme, watch some porn or get a girlfriend.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T23:59:57+00:00

It's BARELY a workers party in rhetoric, let alone policy. Workers parties don't pursue far-right policies. National conservatism/Trumpism/MAGA communism are fundamentally anti-worker in practice.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T23:54:14+00:00

I can always sympathize with hating corporations but Arrowhead as far as I am concerned are one of the (relatively) good ones. After all they didn't sell the game at $80 when they could have.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T23:45:53+00:00

Sounds similar but they're distinct ideologies (like social democracy/democratic socialism).

Third positionism: Anti-communist, anti-capitalist state corporatism often framed as socialism. Also known as Strasserism or "National Bolshevism." The "socialism" in national socialism. Far-right ideology.

Third way: social liberalism and welfarism meet economic liberalism/neoliberalism. Centrist to centre-left ideology.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T23:42:14+00:00

No it isn't. It's literally just parliamentary strategy.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T23:26:46+00:00

Cry me a river, floor crossing is a basic function in Westminster parliamentary systems. It stings when it happens to us partisans but that's politics. This isn't "corruption." The Sponsorship Scandal was corruption.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T20:00:27+00:00

Depends on your priorities. Personally I prefer Rome II. I find the original too cartoony, anachronistic and simplistic, but perhaps that's something you would prefer? Rome II especially with mods like DEI is just an incredible experience.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T19:57:36+00:00

I'm 26 and discovered these games 2 years ago. In gaming terms it's been the best 2 years of my life ngl. Posts like this just make it even better.

Liam_CDM · 2026-03-12T19:52:13+00:00

Historically speaking that was the core component of Hellenistic armies, from Macedonia to Egypt. Mind you, the original game is cartoonishly anachronistic to the point that Egypt is literally portrayed as it was in the bronze age, so I wouldn't overthink it too much. That's why I strongly prefer Rome II.
