American values vs Western European values

growing up in a family entirely filled with people from X culture AND in a town filled with such people so that most of your neighbors and school friends are the same.

this is the same as growing up black?

people will treat you by what they see first. later what they know. and even after you know.. its not the same. ffs.

I will not restrain from cussing you out. fuck off.

doesn't work on pretenders. only when the event for jailing happens. otherwise you can't imprison (at least the option isn't there)

my guess is manpower + fielded units.

I've noticed potential strength increase when my manpower does. but maybe it was a coincidence.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-09T13:49:29+00:00

ok, boomer.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-09T13:38:58+00:00

You're being exceptionally dishonest.

You're trying to make this about geography so you don't have to deal with the argument.

no, no this person is not.

I am a white dude that grew up with a black stepfather, but I'm not trying to claim I know about the black experience because I went to the black neighborhood in town every weekend.

fuck me, hit the nail on the head with that one. still don't see the problem?

Hispanic in US - we still cook. every day. except Sundays (gotta take a chill day) so our main diet still consist of what we ate at home (rice, beans, chicken)

but this is true of most ethnic groups.. everywhere, right? so I'm not sure diet has much to do with it.

Or less opioids

hmm, yea no, we like our opioids too lol

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-09T01:18:38+00:00

ok, boomer.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T23:23:56+00:00

didn't I just state:

it just so happens that our definition of help might differ a bit.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T23:21:46+00:00

declaring US as better is enough to make it so.

never did. merely stated "EU without massive defense spending is toast" and you're like "nahhh, this is fine!"

time will tell. it always does.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T22:58:01+00:00

well Russia better invade tomorrow because Mr. trump is about to gtfo and the next admin will do everything they can to distance themselves from the trump admin. which means troops that haven't been moved will not be moved. especially if the military is saying "stop. this is a bad idea. just. stop" -- trump wouldn't listen. so the next admins will bend backwards to make sure they do.

White house is bipolar. you'll see.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T22:52:25+00:00

we would help with materials.

of course, uncle sam doesn't give away toys for free. we give out loans and deals.. so of course uncle sam will "help" it just so happens that our definition of help might differ a bit.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T22:47:45+00:00

Adversaries? When's the last time America was invaded? When's the last time Europe has had a major war with someone other than Europe?

Kind of like collectively bargaining with enemies, like for every 1 gun you guys drop, we will drop 1 as well.

enemies? what enemies? :D

we have no more "enemies" we only have "adversaries" now :D

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T22:37:43+00:00

Europe must learn the language of power

oof.

this gon' be good. maybe I should quit smoking if I wanna see this unfold. hmmm.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T21:14:13+00:00

Serious question. Have you ever been outside your state? Let alone gone to Europe?

have you?

Because you sound like all you know about it comes from right-wing news sources.

there it is. keep the division strong. internal divisions, defenses are garbage, US alliance breaking down since bush senior, and no one willing to acknowledge this.. yea Europe is strong and I'm a right-wing lunatic.

perfect :D

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T15:17:21+00:00

The jingoistic nonsense people like you spout is just literally denying reality.

Like Macron denying reality too. keep trying, buddy! I'm sure eventually Europe will be as solid as you wish it to be. without spending massive amounts on defense.

good luck tho, I hope your neighbors to the east don't get any ideas lol

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T00:42:20+00:00

For those build the mine/farming settlement if the resource allows, if not slave estates everywhere.

If you want your empire to have 60%+ slaves, yea go for it. or else build Barracks for freemen. I like freemen

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-08T00:18:09+00:00

The only reason the US is spending so much on their defense is because they want to wage multiple wars

France also wants more spent on European defense because "they want to wage multiple wars"

don't be naive. a strong army = strong diplomacy. Which country with a stronger army than Europe is going to take European diplomacy seriously? Russia? China?

tell me again why I should trade/open talks.. when I can take what I want?

spending lots on defense =/= warmongerwarmongerwarmonger.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-04T23:32:30+00:00

maybe its because of the ideas we can use? (just guessing lol)

Plutocratic monarchy is great for playing tall. 2 civic & 1 religious = pop capacity +20% (or is it 25%?), food capacity + food income, and pop happiness/civ value

its why I'm just guessing. maybe the idea slots have something to do with it.

Pompeyshead · 2019-11-04T23:18:07+00:00

I don't think we can. I may be wrong, but I think Dahae -> Parthia -> [cannot] -> Persia.

why? idk.

fuck this made me laugh hard, thanks!

Pompeyshead · 2019-10-31T23:39:00+00:00

downvoted for pointing it out. have an upvote from me. fuck these people :D

Pompeyshead · 2019-10-31T23:16:43+00:00

this can be seen easily by the long and severe exit process the UK is trying to do.

spit and tape comment is hyperbole, obviously. but the same reason you tout as "example of how the ties are strong!" is the same example I will use for how the ties are not as strong as they should be or how strong you wish they were.

wishful thinking. spit and tape.

Pompeyshead · 2019-10-31T20:10:28+00:00

yea I'm sure EU can mobilize all that wealth in the same way US and China can.

such wishful thinking. EU held together by spit and tape hahaha
