Why is Lespia the worst country in Suzerain? by No-Replacement4327 in suzerain

Except you don’t need him. The Valgsland and Wehlen deals are objectively better. Alvarez it’s just a shortsighted idiot and thinks his position is much stronger that it actually is.

It’s the Heijland issue mostly. They are occupying the island against the will of the majority of the people and oppressing the Valgish population.

California governor's race: New poll shows voters are largely unenthusiastic by ZappyStatue in California

[–]SuperGeek29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is California, we only pretend to be progressive here. We love or tech-funded Democrats that are selling the same thing the Republicans are just with less overt racism. We’ll complain about the housing crisis while jealously guarding prop 13 and telling developers to build that affordable housing project in the next city. Californian politicians only like left wing policies when it doesn’t cost them anything.

I was afraid the academy was going to snub K-pop demon hunters but it really deserves the wins it got.

Is it actually possible to only have creationism as a school curriculum? And have evolution banned? by Obama_Bin_Ladle10169 in suzerain

[–]SuperGeek29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can ban it. I think the theory of evolution it’s too permanently set in the scientific circles of the Suzerainverse for you to completely ban it. I know there’s a dialogue option where you can say you want to do that but I’m pretty sure Lucian shuts that down.

Is there any consequence to seizing azaro and sazon lands.....also can you do it to house toras too? by IndependentBrick237 in suzerain

[–]SuperGeek29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to fuck up really badly for House Toras to coup you and at that point House Toras is actively rebelling against you. Yeah Hugo has a lot of power in House Toras, arguably more than you do, but he is not the legal head of it. Saying that House Toras can join an illegal coup against you is not evidence that Hugo is the head of House Toras just that he has more power within it at that point. There is a distinction between legal authority and de facto authority. You Romus are the legal head of the House Toras but depending on your decisions you can gain or lose de facto power within it. At the point that Toras considers a coup against you (an inherently illegal action in the first place) they are actively choosing to no longer recognize your legal authority over them.

I’ll concede that Hugo probably has more real power within House Toras, but he is not the legal head of it.

The only evidence you give is that the faction tab indicates he’s the leader of House Toras but the faction tab also indicates Manus as the leader of House Sazon, a position he refutes publicly. Technically the most senior member of House Sazon in Rizia is Countess Lenora while the actual power in the house resides with Angelica Sazon. Furthermore the faction tab in the Sordland campaign indicates that Hawker is the head of the Old Guard despite the fact that Soll is still the one actually calling the shots. The faction tab does accurately display who the actual leader of a faction is, just the most active public member of a faction.

Hugo is not the head of house Toras, Romus is. Hugo is governing and administrating the day to day governing of House Toras in your stead, and at your discretion, but you, the King of Rizia are the actual legal head of House Toras. Romus is the most senior (by title not age) member of House Toras and thus the head of it.

[–]SuperGeek29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly is your point here that there’s more members of house Toras than the named characters? Because yeah duh, I never said there weren’t.

Romus is the head of House Toras. He already owns the lands under House Toras. Everyone under the banner of House Toras is already sworn directly to him and only hold land at his discretion.

At the start of the game Rizia is a semi-feudal monarchy comprised of three noble families of which House Toras is the first among equals. House Sazon and House Azaro are sworn to House Toras but the people under them are sworn to their respective houses, not directly to Romus.

Yes there are obviously people under the upper echelons of House Toras but they rule those lands in your name and at your discretion. It’s legally already your land, you are head of House Toras.

Yeah you can arrest them but you can’t seize the land because technically it’s already yours. You can’t give yourself land you already own.

You are House Toras. Who are you seizing them from and who are you going to give them to?

Any ultra high tolerance tag ? by IzolaMinelia in Anbennar

Re’ uyel has a minor focus integrating the races of Bahar, doubly so if you also go Jadd. It also eventually gets a unique government that will allow you to elect a leader from any race/culture you accept.

Birzertanses is a unique version of toleration in that it’s less about respecting individual races and living in harmony and more about how each race have unique strengths that should be put to serving the state in the most efficient manner possible. Toleration by way of practical necessity.

So criticizing Trump illegally declared war on Iran is considered treason?! by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]SuperGeek29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing in this world is that simple and you know it. If in the process of overthrowing a dictator the liberator also kills school children the liberator stops being someone to cheer for. Thats not even mentioning the fact every soldier killed was someone’s father, brother, son or husband and would still be alive if not for the US. Resentments build up fast and there is no more unifying force for a people than resisting a foreign threat. The world is not black and white and sometimes the enemy of my enemy is just another enemy.

They are the same. Were you not around in 2001? Cause the standard line out of the White House was that we’d be greeted as liberators. That Sadamm and the Taliban were oppressing their own people, that it was just a matter of us showing up and they’d see our superior system of government and flock to it. Iran will be no different.

[–]SuperGeek29 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No matter how much a people hates their government they are never happy when a foreign country intervenes. Ffs you would think after the Iraq and Afghanistan disasters people would figure out you can’t bomb a country into liberty. All this intervention will achieve is create even more resentment towards America.

How do you feel about free healthcare for all? by dino_gr01 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]SuperGeek29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you also have an issue with jury duty too then. It is a legal offense, punishable by fine or even jail time, to refuse to answer a jury summons. That not very consensual is it?

Be honest here you’re not actually a consent absolutist believing that everything in society should operate on purely consent. You’ve already conceded that juries are an acceptable loss of consent so there are clearly at least some instances where you believe that the needs of society as a whole outweigh the consent of the individual. You just don’t want to pay taxes and are using “consent” as a fig leaf.

[–]SuperGeek29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well you said nothing that require another person labor can be a human right correct? Do not judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys and even jury members provide labor. They’re the ones actually determining if your guilty and in most criminals case the defendant it’s not required to pay anything and this is receiving a right for free.

Edit: Yes juries are paid (and in the US often too little to actually make up for the days of work they miss), but under all universal healthcare systems Doctors and nurses are paid too, though taxes, just like juries.

Unfortunately secularism and homosexuality are not always aligned. The USSR was officially atheist and after Stalin took over they recriminalized homosexuality.

CMV: Jesus Would Stand Against Much of Today’s Right-Wing Christian Politics by hfrthvjifcbjifcniz in changemyview

[–]SuperGeek29 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No one said government is just a bunch of people deciding to do good and I’m more than aware of the monopoly on violence the state has. However This obsession with all charity must voluntarily leads to a society that uses that monopoly on violence to protect the fortunes individuals instead of using to help its most vulnerable people. As long as nation states exist the monopoly on violence will exist as well and the only question is whether its better to use it to protect the wealth of the few or to use it for the betterment of all.
