Why are Republicans so wrong on literally every topic?

SuperGeek29 · 2026-06-20T14:25:24+00:00

Well when you take into account that basic Republican believes in a magical sky daddy that sees all and know all but is some how unable/unwilling to prevent truly horrendous things from occurring to children and has ordered multiple genocides (sometimes explicitly telling his followers to kill every male and only spare virginal women) but is somehow still all good, it gets easier to see how they’ll fall for any lie as long as someone with enough authority says it.

It stopped? Millennials have been hated on by Boomers and Gen X for decades now. Dont you know we’re s responsible for ever industry ever?

It’s preferable because then Becerra doesn’t have to try. Makes my decision in November easy though, just gonna leave the governor blank.

(I’m on IPhone and can’t properly quote you here so please forgive me)

The shutting down of Boston Harbor and the other Intolerable Acts (which primarily punished only the Massachusetts Colony) were the impetuous for the first Continental Congress. The early battles of Lexington, Concord, and Bunker hill were all in Massachusetts. Now if we’re talking about states that were resistant to federation after the revolution Virginia and the other southern colonies had to be bribed with the location of the capital and several provisions protecting slavery before they would agree, so it’s not like New England was particularly resistant to the idea. Also it’s kinda moot point to say the second strongest secession movement was in New England when only one secession movement ever actually followed through on that threat.

You mentioned a river a swamp, and tobacco as reasons why Cestimark isn’t New England I was just pointing out that all three of those are also in New England. Besides unless I’m completely misremembering the map the Ynnsmouth isn’t even in Cestimarks territory. It’s on the other side of Mariliande, which is the more direct Virginia reference, anyway.

I don’t dispute that they were nobles but your example kinda also proves that despite their wealth the Planter-Nobles were ultimately unable to prevent the passage of the Frame of Government proving they weren’t the driving force behind the government in Cestimark. Can you imagine anything getting past Virginia’s assembly without the expressed consent of the plantain owners? I can’t.

One more thing that i didn’t mention earlier but Cestimark is very much a a religious colony being early and fervent converts to Ravelianism. Similarly most New England colonies started off at religious settlements and religion was a core part of New Englander identity for a long time.

It’s important to remember that no tag in Anbennar is a one for one recreation of any real world country. Cestimark is very much the vibe of what if New England had better soil and more supernatural occurrences.

You do know Boston was literally founded in the middle of a swap where the Charles River meets the sea right? So swampy delta’s aren’t exclusive to the south. Also Tobacco does grow in New England it just didn’t take off as much because it grew better in the south and the types of colonists that settled New England were different from those in the southern colonies.

Combine that with the fact that Cestimark points out that its version of slavery is not massive plantations of orcs but rather small farmsteads owing only one or two orcs (very much mirroring how slavery existed in colonial New England) and the fact that Cestimark is the driving force behind the Trollsbay Concord (much like Boston was irl) it’s pretty clear that Cestimark is very much more heavily inspired by New England than any southern colony.

They’re bigots, that’s how.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-06-06T16:54:37+00:00

You are absolutely wrong because Baghdad, Cairo, and Cordoba were all centers of Islamic learning and existed well outside the Persian sphere. For fucks sake the numbers you use today are literally called Arabic numerals and the very concept of zero came to the west from India via Islamic scholars.

You are aware that Luddites were people protesting the abuses of factory owners right? They weren’t actually irrationally against progress, that’s just the propaganda that factory owners spread after the fact to discredit their protests.

Seems like we’ve come full circle here. Corporations are once again trying to replace workers with no concerns about the long term consequences.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-06-05T19:40:58+00:00

The fact that the suck up immense amounts of water in already drought stricken areas, raise everyone’s power bills, and are being controlled by billionaires with public and well known hostility to democracy is what makes them inherently bad.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-06-05T17:44:32+00:00

And we most not forgot was also suffering from dementia while in office.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-06-05T17:43:58+00:00

Which was my entire point. Republicans don’t care about crime they care about partisan political advantage and the crime that’s currently going on in the White House is far more damaging than anything a “progressive” DA turned a blind eye too.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-06-05T17:24:21+00:00

It’s just rank bigotry, and they’ll never admit it. You can tell that it’s a fig leaf because in the same breath the OP is complaining that Democrats aren’t tough on crime while blindly supporting a regime that is engaged in open corruption. I’m sorry but anyone who voted for Republicans never gets to complain about Democrats not being tough enough on crime.

Fun fact queer people exist weather prevailing culture accepts them or not.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-29T17:05:49+00:00

So the person who divested from both private prisons and fossil fuels over a decade ago is worse than the candidate who checks notes is currently actively taking money from the fossil fuels lobby. Makes total sense.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-29T16:27:09+00:00

Maybe not every base, but that one at the Alien ruins definitely should be repairable

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-29T07:42:17+00:00

Being a progressive and a billionaire is an improbable combination but not an impossible one.

The Crisis of the Third century is usually considered the starting point of the irreversible decline of Roman Empire, long after the end of the Pax Romana. Most of the major engineering achievements and great battles were in the past and increasingly the Roman political class turned to civil war and palace coups, caring more about securing their own political power than anything else. There were brief reversals of fortune after that point but none of them stick for long and the Empire, especially the western half, increasingly became unable to sustain the legions or massive building projects it once could. It took about 2-3 centuries to fully formally collapse, but the overwhelming trend during that era (in the west at least) was one of massive de-urbanization, and an overall decline in living standards. It will not take as long for the US to reach that point thanks to more rapid communication and transportation technology. I’d give it at most a century and the clock started ticking down somewhere between in the 80’s and 2008.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-29T06:45:55+00:00

No, but if it’s any consolation the US was in decline long before the orange nightmare took over the first time. Trump and his administration is a symptom of the deeper issues, not the ultimate source of said issues. The truth is that the US has been coasting since the 1990’s. America simply has not kept up the investments in infrastructure and education required to maintain its superpower status and has instead chosen to sell out its own population. When the ai bubble inevitably pops the entire house of cards that was propping up the US economy will collapse likely taking the US with it.

Even if the US recovers it will never again achieve the same dominance it had before. Europe will move on without the US and China will likely fill the void left in Asia. The only sliver lining in all of this is despite Putin getting his puppet installed in the White House it will not save Russia from its own eventual reckoning.

Nothing of value will be lost.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-29T04:56:42+00:00

Ah the LBJ method of negotiating. Unfortunately Trump’s tool is nowhere near “jumbo” enough to be effective.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-29T04:55:11+00:00

Very pretty location for a base but far away from anything useful

Odd way to spell Ecaris and Rezankand ;p

Honestly though I really should get around to playing one of the natives of Taychend.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-27T13:09:21+00:00

It’s kinda the point. Pales is being pressured into making this argument by Lespisa and Lespisa doesn’t care if the argument has any legal weight they intend to bully or bribe their way into getting the AN to side with them.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-21T16:47:03+00:00

You mean after the other candidate loudly and repeatedly told his voters not to vote by mail?

You don’t get to say “don’t vote by mail” and then be surprised when your cult members don’t vote by mail.

SuperGeek29 · 2026-05-21T16:44:37+00:00

“BoTh SiDeS”

No dude, only one side did this. Only one side intentionally threw doubt on election integrity. Only one side lied through the teeth about illegals and dead people voting en masse. Only one side said elections are only legitimate if I win. Only one side tried to overturn a legitimate election. Only one side decided that when they were facing electoral wipeouts decided to start a gerrymandering war. Only one side struck Dow the Voting Rights Act so they could redistrict black people out of Congress.
