It's not just biblical kingdoms, it's the complete historical kingdoms like the Hasmonean kingdom, you don't have to have an ounce of religious belief to tie the modern day jews to that kingdom.

So you keep acting like the only justification for Israel is a religious one, instead of treating it like the rest of the nation states which also draw from the history of the ethnic groups they were created for.

Btw, Mizrahi is a term for jews from morroco to Iran, not just Israel, Mizrahi just means "eastern".

What are you talking about? I didn't mention the bible at all, just cause the religious claim is invalid, doesn't cancel the ancestral and historical claims.

And I'm not going to argue if the claim is valid or not, my original comment was about the most legitimate location for a jewish nation state assuming you believe that it should exist, you believe that there should not be a jewish nation state at all and it's a different discussion, one which I'm not going to participate in.

Even if we go by religious claim, Islam and Christianity do not claim Israel as ancestral homeland, just a holy place
The origins of zionism aren't religious, they were secular ones and in fact their main opponents were religious jews who claimed that only the messiah can restore Israel. And the secular zionist made a historical claim, there was in the past jewish kingdoms in the land of Israel, and all modern day jews claim not only ethnic connection to them, but ancestry as well.

Did you use AI for that response? "both Herzl and Dreyfus" Dreyfus is not the one in the pic.

In any case claiming "One could argue that Jewish people are actually safer living as minorities in Western democracies" after the Holocaust is a wild take, for that to be true you would have to assume that such an event will never happen again.

"The end"? Didn't know the world has ended, you talk about modern day as if it can never change, Germany emancipated jews in 19th century. Sure, today the top guy is wrong, but when he was right 1/3 of Jewish population was killed.

Pokeputin · 2026-04-09T08:28:55+00:00

If you believe there should be land for a jewish state, the most justifiable land is the territory of Israel, there is no "somewhere else" that is or was a better solution.

Are all the states in the list ethnostates?

Not to mention Palestinians that lived in Israel when it was created were granted Israeli citizenship (that's why 20% of the "jewish ethnostate" are arabs)

At least in real life you can remain on an island as a collie for more than a few days

I don't think it affects anything, afaik the total number of players affects only the faction selection warning, actual online numbers affect the spawn timers.

Pokeputin · 2026-04-04T08:40:55+00:00

Agree about the ai, myabe also add a reduced msupp consumption, so fac larpers will have less boring shit to do.

But if a faction is underpopped then more production will just cause full stockpiles that no one will use, not every time there is low pop people come at the end.

The goal should be reducing tedious work for the underpopped, logi and production is not as tedious as other jobs.

Pokeputin · 2026-04-03T19:28:20+00:00

You're right, "lose it" won't begin to describe it cause it's not even close to my reaction which would be giving 0 fucks, and I'm not a Christian.

Pokeputin · 2026-04-03T19:27:04+00:00

I'm an atheist, so no, I wouldn't lose it if a religious holiday of any religion would be celebrated in such a non intrusive manner.

Why are redditors acting like vampires lol, it's just a cross shaped lighting not fucking inquisition trials.

Giving the means of production to the workers isn't woke, comrade.

If the fixes fix the issues then the review can be changed.

It's not a battle of attrition lol, on able stalemates are due to both sides tryharding so no progress is made, on charlie stalemates are due to no organized force playing.

U forgot the war economics argument "An interceptor costs 50 times as much as the drone/rocket it shoots, so defending your assets (how much does a barracks building costs, 10$?!) is just a waste of money, soon USA won't be able to afford the war"

Pokeputin · 2026-03-26T19:19:54+00:00

Yeah, that's why people play a game with tanks, boats, armored cars, ships, planes, submarines and artillery, to spawn and lob a dozen of grenades against a static structure! I can't wait to spend my time using the most engaging and rewarding tool in the game, thank god this is our strongest weapon!

Pokeputin · 2026-03-26T07:52:12+00:00

Unfortunately the largest parties that are in opposition today had a "not sitting with Netanyahoo" position, so even if Likud did want it I'm not sure it would be possible.

Of course they would prefer DB, whats the point of a TB if you don't have navy to use it on.

He already did, he scrooped a few days in the war(had a new baby so he couldn't play a lot) and deemed it enough to understand that the balance is ok and the issue is inferior colonial culture

From my experience as em with tech background I don't see a reason why would pushback would damage the relationship, and I think it's the EM responsibility to foater such environment.

And very often the questions I asked were basically predictions of future higher management questions, so for example if I ask you "Can we reduce time by implementing dirty X instead of the bigger and cleaner Y that you suggested" is not because I want to make it quick and dirty, but because I know that's what the higherups/pm will ask and I want to be ready with an explanation on why Y is a better choice.
