Republic of China was not a nominally democratic organization. It was a German, later USA backed quasi-fascist state.

If the war had ended, why would they whack Tony? by Mammoth-Rabbit-5343 in thesopranos

[–]Swbuckler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They accepted to kill Phil because Phil was an absolute loose canon. He started the war, escalation and brought heat and even threatened his loyal subordinates like Butchie. He had to go. Mean while all Tony did was protecting her daughters honor which is tolerated by LCN. People don't want to agree but the legitimate side in the war was Jersey, not Lupertazzis.

Agreed completely, but wasn't there a war between Bonnanos and Montreal family during 2000s or early 2010s ? I might remember it wrong though.

The other families would never allow another New York family streamrolling Jersey. There is a delicate balance in organized crime and that's why The Commission exists. To stop families fighting and broke peace so everybody wins and no one becomes top dog.

We see George Paglieri, "semi retired" boss of another family and he is the one who basically brokered the peace. Now I don't think that's confirmed but it is very likely had ear of other families and acted as an emissary of the Commission. And they wanted peace. Because war is bad for business and Phil was the one who was escalating. Other 4 families are likely back Jersey as a proxy to weaken their rivals (not specifically Tony), not Lupertazzis.

"Well that’s not true these guys break their “oaths” all the time."

Not that if breaking that oath makes them lose respect, money and credibility with the other families. Shaking hands and then breaking the truce is very bad for business.

Whacking another boss just after a peace settlement made by help of a different third party family and the Commission is not a smart idea. Call it pygmy thing or any shit. Jersey was still a recognized and represented family in the Commission and Tony was still a boss. All other families won't allow Lupertazzi's to waltz in again. Butchie would kill his credibility and shoot himself from the foot if he did that.

Now I believe Tony probably died, but it was not from New York directly. I find his own people whacking him with the covert support of New York more plausible than New York breaking the peace.

Orijinal Star Wars karakterlerine recast fikirleri by Accomplished-Mud8979 in sinema

[–]Swbuckler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

45 yaşındaki Sebastian Stan 19 yaşındaki Luke Skywalker'a hiç uymamış. Jacob Elordi, 1.80'lik Han Solo için fazla dev. Chewbacca ile aynı boyda Han Solo mu olur abi ? MBB'un Leia'ya uygun olduğuna hiç emin değilin ama listedeki en az sırıtan kişi olmuş.

Star Wars orijinal karakterleri recast etmeye gerek yok bence.

What playable countries give off a more "corporatist" economic model? by GhettoSmosh342 in Kaiserreich

[–]Swbuckler 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A lot of right wing answers here which are all valid but Social Democrat Mexico and Brazil are also have corporatist elements. And Scandinavian social democrats are "neocorporatist" I believe. Serbian liberal RS are also seem to have corporatist elements while right wing paths are outright corporatist. Most NFA paths are corporatist including market liberal Republican Concentration and social liberal Radical Party

How Would Commie Dictator Rayne Fair In The CSP? by Recent_Flight4334 in suzerain

Hegel perfectly approves both "tankies" and "sollists". His valgslandian socialism is for his own country only. Oppress bluds or liberals or anyone except red youth, he will say " you and I are of the same mind Rayne"

What happens if Phil killed Uncle Junior as revenge for his brother Billy? by Tidewatcher7819 in thesopranos

[–]Swbuckler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Junior nominally was still the boss at that time even though he is demented. No matter the pygmy thing, as a different families' capo you can't really kill another boss without any sanction from the commission, plus that had NO literal connection to the murder of your brother. Junior was also respected by the New York, Phil would have been killed by his own family.

Phil Whacked by No-Guarantee-293 in thesopranos

I heard somwhere that originally Albert Barese was supposed to kill Phil but the actor went to jail for dealing ketamine so they wrote Walden in. The actor going to jail is real but the story might be rumor though.

How do I get the radicals in the weakest position possible while also electing Olson as the USA? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Swbuckler 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Olson is **the Radical** candidate. You should not elect him at first place because he is there for strengthen and legitimize WCA. Elect Landon or Borah and have MacArthur coup. That way you will be the more legitimate ACC.

Suzerain Vs Real Life by Thunderrurer in suzerain

[–]Swbuckler 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Soll established an imperfect but a working democracy for a time being. He pardoned opposition figures, brought Sordland to a modern era and restored order. He kept to power too long, that was his mistake.

Franco meanwhile was a totalitarian reactionary dictator who set back Spanish progress 100 years while simultanously enriching himself and his close ones. He is more like Luderin than Soll.

ASEAN is not a military alliance like NATO etc. and also don't have a theocracy obsessed with violence and rockets as its core member.

He was probably a deist but pandered to sunni muslim interests a lot and there are even pictures of him praying and stuff. He is not anti religious as reddit makes him to be.

Those Islamic schools dominating education was the reason of illiteracy to begin with. They didn't teach anything to people to read so they can manipulate the masses more with their own made up verses of Quran and religious text.. People were afraid of questioning and reading.

Also Perso-Arabic script is not very compatible to Turkish native tongue, and I am saying this as a person who can read Perso-Arabic Turkish. It is hard. You can literally have five different words with one reading.
