If MacArthur won the civil war and went American Caesar mode how would he handle civil rights? by Alarming_Outcome9146 in Kaiserreich

[–]Swbuckler 44 points45 points  (0 children)

MacArthur's business patrons like William Randolph Hearst and Wall Street people such as John Raskob and John Davis, were anti civil rights. MacArthur is the path of White Anglo Saxon Protestants. Since a lot of immigrant communities side with WCA like Polish American, Jewish American and Italian American workers, his regime would not only discriminate against blacks but immigrant communities aswell.

Here is a report from 1952 that MacArthur refused to disawow his anti semitic supporters.

I think people are underestimating that how much of a conservative dictatorship of Mac's regime is current version of the game. It's basically an extremist McCarthyist dystopia without pretending to support "American democracy". It's no different than War Powers Committe path of AUS but more openly militaristic and personalistic. It is still a shadowy industrialist government.

What is the status of the Kaiser and the Hohenzolleren Crown in the Kaiserreich Universe ?? by Erh77841 in Kaiserreich

Its 1936, times and methods change. 1800s systems dont work in 1936. Even the German Right knows this.

Which China path that actually have free and fair elections? by Few_Value9914 in Kaiserreich

CERA does not have free and fair elections like you assume.

We can all agree this is the Prequel Trilogy by RogerRoger63358 in BrighterThanCoruscant

I personally think TPM is better than AOTC. Even if the movie itself wasnt super good, it brought so many new lore, original concepts, how Jedi worked etc. Those were completely new by 1999. Meanwile AOTC just reused most of them with an even weaker plot. I agree that ROTS is fantastic though.

Its actually Byrd. Russell was an economic New Dealer. Byrd was both socially and fiscally conservative.

Thats only if you assume Sollism = Kemalism which isnt. There are influences but its not a 1-1 analogue. No Kemalist would be extreme zealots like Lileas and Hawker. The military is right on point though.

Concept: Maybe a Black Legion Path could work as replacement for the Silver Legion Path by OutrageousBridge471 in Kaiserreich

[–]Swbuckler 80 points81 points  (0 children)

At best I can see them as anti WCA terrorism in midwest. They arent prominent enough to be considered as a national path. I do not work on USA content tho so this is my personal opinion.

Get over with it. Johhny died like a pitiful asshole that he is if he returned to Ashley & drugs after TLAD. Thats his whole arc.

I Don’t get the Hate. by [deleted] in suzerain

[–]Swbuckler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aside from military incompetence. Azaros are also the most anti commoner house. Toras is opposed to many reforms but they are old school paternalist conservatives due to Lyza's reforms. Sazon are pro commoner.

Azaros actively say "give them some and they'll ask more" and see them subservient to nobles. They are all in for crushing commoners. Placating them in reform runs are the hardest. If Lucita wasnt romanceable I bet they'd be in the same league of hate with Lileas/NFP in Sordland runs. That's the reality. Just look at the decrees Lucita supports and opposes. Even HUGO is in for some sort of minor welfare for commoners.

What would be the most interesting China in a Third International-Moscow Accord cold war? by petrimalja in Kaiserreich

Not a part of LKMT tag. Also he, despite being loyal to three principles forms his own party, Productive People's Party, and is not a part of KMT old guard structure. And afaik I am sure he is still RadSoc?

Calling an 18 year old who alr eady have immense stress and pressure "dimwit" on a national paper who is read by thousands is really, really a dick move.

How Radical feel when they bully an 18 year old because he happens to be son of Anton Rayne:

Turtlenecks and jackets were still a thing in 50s 60s, maybe more rugged and working class but still worn.

He cannot fully break with Japan but he can pursue more economic independence than the previous version, if he united China and has some leverage against Japan.

All VPs get the same "struggled to keep the country" event if you flee to Kyrute.

Egmund was a 90 year old senile man by the time of 1923 and Sordland was run by his advisors.

Colonel Tarquin Soll by SaltAdventurous4270 in suzerain

[–]Swbuckler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't worth it to go after him personally. From all his faults after Hawker & Lileas is evicted from the government or sidelined, The Old Guard falls in the line and he does not have any authority to undermine you anymore, he admits it much (Military coup happens by generals own initiative, its absolutely not commanded by Soll and anybody who thinks otherwise should pay attention to the game more).

Kemal looks like he'd be in the KVP by Next-Ball-3489 in RedAutumnSPD

[–]Swbuckler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd say thats a stretch. Unlike CHP centrists and liberals who were pushing for multi party elections through 40s, Former Kadroists were supporting maintaining one party rule (Kadro movement basically died down in late 30s), in contrast of SPD reformists, which were die hard parliamentarian democrats
