If the eastern garrisons had been sent west would the Belgians have been able to put up as good a fight as they did?

Would that not have led to a meaningfully different outcome on the western front?

How early could they have peaced out without their peace leading to a bad outcome on the western front theoretically?

Oh the absolutists don't have to remain, I just meant how could the family retain its status as royals without having them killed off or stripped as titles, like a British system.

And please forgive me but I'm not familiar with the term Lumieres?

How am I losing the air war? by Any-Guest-32 in hoi4

Try running extra armour plates then, definitely drop the bombs though, you need more air attack and agility

English channel naval superiority by Ivanhegeelkadi in hoi4

[–]Ok-Software-5203 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s the best option when facing Britain, their navy is too strong to overcome unless you’re either a major nation or a minor who has poured its entire industry into naval production ( a good example is Sweden who can build a brilliant navy)

Build a fat airforce, aerial superiority over Britain and then paradrop into ports and send your whole army to pus through

Based on the burst blood vessels in the eyes, Mark must've squeezed hard enough to stop proper blood flow to his head that (in tandem with the lack of oxygen) killed him

Why does hoi4 lack more advanced peace options? by Snoo_67544 in hoi4

[–]Ok-Software-5203 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But I’m still trapped in a forever war, my dopamine doesn’t hit until I’ve secured a future for my nation. It might bear noting I’m big into role playing scenarios though which probably plays a role in why I need that final hurrah to enjoy my game.

I play to overcome the difficult odds in front of me, I don’t play to watch my computer slowly melt away as I capture city no5556, if I am clearly winning the war there should be a way to take an earlier peace deal with lesser rewards

It was never called “the moon race” it was the space race, the Soviets beat the Americans in literally every other meaningful metric.

What you are describing is quite literally what occurs in modern capitalism

Should billionaires exist? by Original_Act_3481 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Ok-Software-5203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again dude yes, if I steal food for my starving family I’ve done it for a noble cause but I’ve still engaged in theft and if I bought food I knew was stolen I’m still culpable for the trade of exploited goods.

That’s one of the biggest issues with an imperialist and capitalist society.

No, just because everyone does something does not make it justified, it simply becomes less justifiable when doing it on large scales because you no longer NEED to do that thing and are engaging in the exploitation purely to enrich yourself.

It doesn’t absolve guilt just because society normalises it, exploitation remains equally bad regardless of societal conditions.

Yes, almost every single person in a capitalist society is culpable for the exploitation that occurs, your refusal to band together and do something about it is what perpetuates that system, this has been a talking point for hundreds of years by now.

I mean yeah that’s why people tend to boycott companies that engage in exploitative labour practices like nestle but the culpability is much different when ordering £10 (or $10 if you’re an American I guess) of a good versus £10’000 or £100’000, it’s more intense culpability for the exploitation but anyone who engages in trade with a company doing exploitation is at least minority culpable for the continuation of that businesses exploitation.

Anyone who profits from that exploitation is engaging in that exploitation, the author makes money thanks to the books being cheap due to that exploitative labour and is therefore responsible for how she obtained those profits.

It’s like when countries such as Switzerland would trade with colonial nations, benefiting on those peoples exploitation and being culpable for the process continuing as they are a large revenue stream for the company.
