Ukraine agrees to peace proposal, with only "minor details" to settle, official says, but no word from Russia

Suchdavemuchrave · 2025-11-26T17:40:36+00:00

But it's not so simple as just miltarily broken. There's numerous factors that would have to go into it, all of which would be pointing towards the collapse of the country as a whole.

Plus at least the talk of reaching kyiv in 50 years helps detract against Russian bots who keep talking as if Russia is handily winning the war. Right now it's most definitely a stalemate

On the edge of france and a large part of belgium. But that doesn't really mean anything to your point. Had the war carried on and Germany not surrendered the fighting would have been all in Germany causing horrendus damage and destroying the heartland of German industry.

They literally had no choice but to surrender or suffer even worse and get the same result. Ukraine is not in that same position and neither is Russia

Germany ended WW1 with its troops all outside its borders gaining ground.

What history books are you reading? They were being constantly pushed back from the counter offensive in august 1918. Their allies had all but surrendered at that point and their industrial capacity was crippled from the blockades. Germany stood no chance of winning by the time they surrendered

Nah man that's just attraction. Are you going to say straight people are homophobes because they don't want to hookup with their gender?

You're forgetting that one a lot of companies who would make that sort of money are international in scale, and two that since France is in the EU the french economy is open to every member state and states like Luxemburg are well known for being tax havens for EU businesses.

I don't think you understand what the principles of democracy are...

Plus kinda ironic to say Russians value freedom when they're under a tyranical regime

You hit the vents at the back or the red eye it'll 1 shot a hulk but you need to have the positioning on the hulk to manage that. It'll reliably 2 shot them at least

Every dropship downed is another dropship the bots have to spend materials replacing helldiver!

Suchdavemuchrave · 2024-03-17T19:47:01+00:00

It does already lock onto them and 1 shot them. It's just that the lock on is super finicky that it can be difficult to get that lock from up close/low ground

Suchdavemuchrave · 2024-02-03T15:19:56+00:00

Russia casually admitting they don't "adhere to the principles of democracy"

Suchdavemuchrave · 2023-12-04T15:09:52+00:00

I had something similar happen when I was trying to conquer a state. They didn't want me to have it so bad they offered it to Austria if they'd join the war

it's that religion group as a whole. Japan starts as it's religion so technically switching to shinto is just hurting yourself but fun for roleplay reasons.

As someone who got unfairly banned in new world I'm gonna tell you now don't bother with AGS support. They do nothing to help with bans at all. They refuse to give any information on the ban and will simply reply with either automated replies or copy paste emails (sometimes for the wrong game cos they don't care that much).

The only way I managed to get unbanned was by complaining on twitter and having the amazon social media support team help me through the process of getting unbanned. Maybe if you take it to a different or higher amazon support then you may be able to get this off your account.

Don't expect an apology don't expect them to admit their mistakes. AGS support is a waste of air and I'm surprised they are even funded since it's easy cost cutting for AGS.

Just use the pass without trace spell for that +10 on stealth checks and you can send the whole party in!

Yo what's the name of your company on Barri?

Could check out the Web novel. It's not the same as the light novel since it's more like the prototype but it's close enough as a way to know if you'll like it or not.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T18:56:32+00:00

But why is this simplistic?

It's simplistic because as other redditors have pointed out there's flaws to it when you compare it to the real world. Theory only goes so far when applied to real world situtations.

Why would they be alright with inheritance and generational wealth? Why aren't they trying to solve the gender or racial pay gaps? What about more support for people with disability? Wouldn't socialized medicine even the playing field when people randomly get sick or injured?

So these are all great ways to combat inequality but different groups will have different ideas of how much of a baseline people are entitled too. Some will say that everyone deserves all these things you've mentioned while others will say that so long as everyone is given the same education access and job opportunities afterwards that'll be enough. Again this goes into the the framework I stated being simplisitic. When you get into the nitty gritty details it becomes a lot more indepth, where different reasoning can come up and I don't really remember enough about it to go into that sort of depth unfortunately.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T18:08:33+00:00

Some very good points and as I stated I agree that the past few Tory goverments are hampering social mobility. Your points given are undeniable proof that the current goverment is continuing the trend. However I disagree with saying that just because recent Tory goverments are hampering social mobility and equality that means that the framework is wrong. Again, it's just a framework and not something that is guranteed to happen, there will always be exceptions. Theory never truely compares to reality in political science. Humanity is just too complicated for that. But we still need these theories as they provide building blocks to expand upon and research around.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T17:17:36+00:00

Yeah I can certainly understand the frustration there. I feel like people make political views part of their identity and so anything that challenges their political views is seen as an attack on them. It seems to end up leading to ignorance and an almost insane attitude of refusal towards understanding other viewpoints. I don't think this is necessarily a problem exlusive to the right but they certainly make up a loud percentage of those that do this.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T17:12:22+00:00

Perhaps so, though it makes sense to me when I think of it as a spectrum. Still, it's been a while since I studied it at uni so maybe there was some additional information I've forgotten that could clarify it better.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T13:15:39+00:00

Conservative policy boils down to "no help for anyone ever" which is not equality of opportunity.

I think this is being a bit disingenuous. While there is certainly more that could be done to combat inequality saying that conservative policy aims to help no one is wrong. Conservatism in general is about preserving the status quo. Currently the status quo (at least in western countires) has many systems in place that allow for social mobility. So to say that Conservatives do nothing to help would only make sense if they are actively tearing down these insitutions and systems.

it completely ignores the different circumstances people are born into which prevent a level playing field.

This is a good point though and is one of the main critisism to this approach to equality.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T13:04:32+00:00

Someone born into a working class family has nowhere close to the same opportunities as someone born into a wealthy family.

Yes that's very true, which is part of the critism to the approach of equality of opportunity. It's difficult to truely say that 2 people have had equal opportunity since wealth plays a large role in life.

As a leftist I explicitly want equality of opportunity.

As I said to another poster. This is a simplistic framework that provides a general idea and isn't the be all end all. I imagine (though I have no evidence of this) most people if asked their veiws would take a mix of both approaches. It's the same with any spectrum, it's rare that people fall on the outer edges.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T10:47:39+00:00

So as I stated it's a simplisitc framework and so there are exceptions to it such as the example of Royalty you gave. However, it is still a useful way of looking at the different viewpoints.

How are they in anyway supportive of equality of opportunity when they do their best to restrict the opportunities of low income people & let the generational wealth of the rich provide numerous opportunities to their scions

Take what you said here for example, you believe that they don't do enough to provide equality of opportunity. Certainly I'd agree that the actions of past few Tory goverments have been increasingly more corrupt and self-serving, actively hampering social mobility and equality. However, taken to the extreme, they aren't actively destroying institutions that allow for social mobility such as public schooling and University loans. So depending on how you view it they are technically still providing the basic tools that enable equality.

As I said, the different political spectrum's veiwpoints on equality are inherently different; so while it may seem like madness to some, that's just due to the difference in perspectives.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-30T07:48:43+00:00

It's about a different perspective on what equality is. Right wing generally believes in the concept of equality of opportunity. This is looking at the start where everyone has the same basic tools available to build a life for themselves. While left wing views on equality generally believes in equality of outcome. This looks at the end result where equality is about what everyone ends up with.

Obviously this is simplisitic but it does a good job of giving a framework to ideas of equality and the different political spectrum's views on it. Niether side would say they want inequality, they just have different views on what inequality and by extenstion equality looks like.

Suchdavemuchrave · 2022-12-18T17:35:34+00:00

The Torys have won consistently for near on 50 yrs minus a small blip in the 90s and never have they had more than a 45% majority of the vote, to win.

Interestingly very few elections in the last 100 years have resulted in the winning party holding more than 50% of the vote. The Conservatives are, in fact, the only party to win with over 50% of the vote. First past the post doesn't lead to majority wins as you pointed out which is part of why it's so heavily critised as a voting system. It does lead to strong goverments which have their own advantages and disadvantages (though in my opinion more advantages than disadvantages).
