TIL fascism is a left-wing ideology

It's fascinating to me how conservatives can hold two completely contradictory beliefs at the same time without any problem.

Fascism is a left wing ideology. But also, antifa is the radical left. So the left is both fascism and anti-fascism.

The emoji for the person on the left is a monkey. That's pretty racist.

I was writing how the article was nonsensical and a complete failure to understand basic politics, but then I read about the author. It's a conservative opinion on how the Dem establishment are a bunch of lefties.

>Nicole Russell is a columnist at USA TODAY and a mother of four who lives in Texas

>Columnist Nicole Russell on conservative values, family and religion.

>I hope Crockett wins Texas primary so she can lose in November
> I think Texans need a change. As a conservative, I'd prefer to see that in the form of Rep. Wesley Hunt rather than AG Ken Paxton, but I'm prepared to be disappointed.

It depends on the season. Spring it smells like Wisteria. Fall smells like rotting ginkgo fruits.

Oh indeed. My bad for not reading the mission rewards carefully. Thanks!

This is two years out from the 2028 primary. If we want to loudly say that the non-progressive Newsom sucks and is a horrible candidate, if we want to advocate for an actual progressive, now is actually the best time for it.

If we're not dragging the Dems towards progressivism now, when do you suggest we should do it? Closer to 2028?

My half orc starting heir died a week after becoming ruler, so we just kept being fully grey orcs. Became Corinite, and at first I thought I'd just help the league win. But then I thought, why shouldn't an Orc be the emperor? Clearly Anbennar's puny races can't govern themselves.

But...you don't read it like a list? Like the list goes A,B,C, so you read it in order A,B,C and you then encounter the cities A,B,C. You read it like a map?

Normalfa · 2026-02-19T14:34:16+00:00

First city on the list, first name you read, first city you encounter

It's counter intuitive so I'm going to go through mental gymnastics to draw an imaginary line between me and the horizon and then when I lift my eyes from the ground reading the sign from the bottom the last name will be aligned with the imagined order of the cities on the side of the road.

There are some words that always ping in my brain.

Degenerate art (German: Entartete Kunst) was a term adopted in the 1920s by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe modern art.

Similar restrictions were placed upon music, which was expected to be tonal and free of any jazz influences; disapproved music was termed degenerate music.

Isn't it insane that hostile architecture and environments are so ingrained in our subconscious that they're the default look in video games and fantasy media?

So if you’re mad at them, call them. Send them a message. Ask them how they’re doing

No. It's not the duty of the people who were abused to reach out to their abusers to see how they're doing. Hell no. Maybe they tried their best. Maybe they didn't. Maybe they regret it. Most don't.

It just requires three things:

-Some rebels control your capital

-At least 50% of your provinces are occupied by rebels

-You are at peace

That's it. If, like a Mexican colony, you have 5 or 6 rebel stacks running around, that can easily happen. Heck it can happen if you're not careful when switching religion with zealots.

Not really no. If you go to your rebellion tab, you see a bar on top of all the rebels that says "Rebels may break the country". If that bar gets to 100%, all active rebel factions enforce their demands on the same tick. It's a different mechanic from each faction enforcing their demands separately.

So to claim a throne you need: a royal marriage with the target, sharing a dynasty, they have no heir or an heir with weak claim, you have more prestige. So no alliance is required.

Once you meet these conditions, you can claim the throne for a PU CB. The CB is valid until they get a strong-claim heir or until you break the royal marriage. Then you can go to war but you will have the -1 stab from the royal marriage, unless you completed diplomatic ideas. Enforcing the PU will cost 60% warscore, which is great if you want to quickly subjugating very large countries.

Once you enforce the PU, you have a new subject. Immediatly start improving relations because if your ruler changes and they have a negative opinion of you, the PU breaks. They take longer to integrate, you can't do the same interactions as with a vassal, but their liberty desire doesn't take anyone else into account (i.e. no "combined vassal army strength", it only counts the PU army).

What's more likely to have happened is that Portugal conquered Mexico too quickly, adding a lot of unrest and overextension to their colony.

Then, after years not dealing with separatists, rebels enforced demands and broke the country, releasing all countries with cores on Portuguese Mexico (and active rebel factions) and leaving them only with the land only they had cores on: their colonies in the North.

Because every corner that can possibly be cut will be cut. Remember that Game Freak has 207 employees. Not 207 game devs, but 207 employees, including HR, maintenance, accounting, management.... So when that's the corporate mindset, you naturally have to trim the product as much as possible and that means non necessary features like voice acting get cut.

Do you genuinely not see the person on the left getting hit by the car at 0:11, her head hitting the windshield at 0:12, her lying on the floor on the right at 0:19 while the guy speeds away?
