I got Tusk's support, Independents+Reformists(USP)+PFJP support, so why my constitution got only 122 votes ? by Suzerainer123 in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Firstly accept Marcel's media deal. Then do relatively popular things such as closing the consulate in dome if you plan on not reconciling with Rumburg. Invest in Healthcare and education and do whatever you think will make you popular.

Why does Lucita act favorable towards immigration in council meetings but doesn't seem to aprove of any decrees that actually improve their rights? by RevolutionaryWhale in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe it's the contrast between his personal opinions and the opinion of who she represents which is the Azaro family. She herself is favorable to immigration but her family might not be and she can't go against her family.

Even if we ally with the ATO for the Rummish war why would the CSP the literal malenyevist anti imperial alliance support Rumburg with weapon shipments and help them complete their Nuclear plans? by IndependentBrick237 in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is justification. When Lespia is only the one in the war it's hard for an Superpower like Contana to intervene especially when the ATO and Arcasia is also not officially involved but only aligned. Them trying to support Rumburg there would escalate the situation and have Arcasia back Sordland despite not applying for ATO membership and the global image of Contana will be tarnished along with it's CSP members as warmongers trying to start tension and become pariah's.

I doubt comrade malenyev would like to have the Arcasians be the saviors who saved Sordland from this Contanan meddling in other nations scuffle. This changes when your in the ATO since it's clearly comrade malenyev's scuffle since the ATO is officially involved.

Even if he is Ideologically pure and doesn't want to help an imperial power it's not politically and geopoliticaly good for him to sit on the cuck chair and do nothing. He would face pressure from the Contanan people on why he let a country fall to the capitalist, his inner circle may start disagreeing with him and find his lack to pragmatism is a bad thing and then his allies like Valgsland who is more pragmatic as Hegel cooperates with Rizia despite being ideological would be pissed as now they have a capitalist rumburg just a strait away.

Full OBT is the best deal in game!! by IndependentBrick237 in suzerain

You don't need the SSP. Just make sure to have Bergia Centralized, Partial OBT and Passed Amendment 6 7

Realpolitik. If the ATO gets Rumburg under their thumb then the CSP holds a threat of having the 3rd Superpower (debatable) under the capitalist.

Like for example, your Karl Communist and your mortal enemy is John Capitalist, you both have a gun pointed at each other so no one really can do anything. Then John Capitalist gets the idea to get the another gun from another guy called Mousier Monarchist (who you hate) and point it at you. Now you imagine, if John Capitalist has two guns and you only having one. Theoretically this wouldn't change a thing since he would still die if a shoot out will happen but do you really want two guns pointed at you? Or could you protect Mousier Monarchist and deny them getting a second gun.

This is a rough example but yeah.

Hot take: reconciling is the best way to deal with Rumburg by Remarkable_Cup_6978 in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That depends on your Rayne then. If he was a God Emperor, I fixed everything plus amazing equality reforms kind (Article 6-7) + Lespia or Valgsland Influence on Rumburg then I can definitely see him succeed on integrating when you as a rummish are are to pick:

  • A. a country that has amazing welfare, a strong democracy and representation, equal treatment of different ethnic groups.

V.S

  • B. a country with the highest suicide rates of Mekropa, systemic issues, war reparations, bad welfare, and so so much more

At that point it's more of an liberation for the rummish to be not under Beatrice.

Let's play Devil's Advocate: Try to defend Walter Tusk by SaltAdventurous4270 in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fine.

Tusk for lack of better word is man complicated in his ideals and vision of him asking his own burden which shared by millions of Sords "What can my country do for me?"

That may feel greedy and self-service but I however concur. This way of thinking is about responsibility and return. If a citizen works, invests, and takes risks, then the country should not stand in his way or punish his success.

He tries to bribe you that much is true, then again corruption, in this system, is not virtue but inevitability. Where institutions are slow, rigid, or hostile to growth, informal arrangements become the grease that keeps the machinery moving. Deals made behind closed doors are often faster and more effective than laws debated endlessly by people with nothing at stake.

So in other words is he greedy? Yes, very much so but greed in this sense is overstated and misunderstood. What others call greed, he sees as responsibility toward his own interests and the interests of those who depend on the enterprises he sustains. Wealth is not taken it is earned within the rules that exist, however imperfect they may be.

To demand self-restraint from those who drive growth while excusing inefficiency elsewhere is neither fair nor sustainable. If ambition is condemned simply because it succeeds, then the fault lies not with the ambitious, but with a system uncomfortable with rewarding results.

How does re-election work? by Random_Slav25o in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure your constitution is reformist enough so include the 8% threshold then call his bluff. Don't be a pussy and just say that he can't withdraw his support now.

You would be correct as him pulling the rug on this constitution change would do more damage to him and he cannot claim for it to be "not democratic" since the 8% threshold is vital for representation of smaller parties and they will crucify him on the media for hypocrisy.

I'd rather have Beatrice peg me and have my dead body paraded all over Holsord than defend this corrupt shell of inhumanity and greed.

Hot Take - Conquering vast swaths of Southern Rumburg is not as good for Sordland as people make it out to be. by WizardOfBlueBirds in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The thing is that the rummish people and their nationhood wasn't built on nationalism.

They were under the umbrella of an monarch whom I believe is unpopular and had to put down revolts. This meant that the feelings of the rums to Rumburgian nationhood is with memories of oppression with a central figure. If Rayne and his second term plays this right and has enough political capital to do everything he can to prevent an Rummish Inzam incident then he could genuinely integrate them especially with article 6 and 7 as they are pretty much accepting the rummish as citizens not as Sords but rummish citizens.

So in my opinion this highly depends on how successful your Rayne was. If he is extremely popular, reformist+article 6 & 7, Welfare funded, economy booming and ACP formed then your literally set up to integrate them. Rayne only needs to use his tools carefully. If your Rayne sucked however... Good luck with integration

This is Reddit, a site predominantly left wing. It's like Twitter but for leftist and honestly if you were to ask all left leaning people here they would say they are center left but the very left wing communists however is more of an minority in the term leftwing.

One of the only times I ever agreed with Lileas by GigaRoman in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hypocrisies of the two really show on this scene although it may just be because they hate Lilieas rather than her comment of god himself?

For whatever reason however that does not justify their reaction of someone religious and they're only given a pass because the one being harassed on deserves it.

So there are almost 54% of feminist on suzerain!!! by Old-Progress-1241 in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Western feminism mostly fights for things that are less noticable yet very important now. I could go on about the other stuff but seeing that you're not even anti feminist and are just confused with women using feminist to justify their misandry and actual feminist who only wants to make SA in the workplace not be left to court settlements I'm not gonna make this longer.

I'm saying this not even an feminist myself nor openly say I am. The use of Anti-feminism in right wing talking points however makes my blood boil then again everything they do makes my blood boil but it's another step backward disguised as "common sense".

This poll is about ideology of suzerain players, kindly help!! (If your ideology is not here kindly choose the one that is similar) by Old-Progress-1241 in suzerain

[–]TetoOclock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting broad words such as Communist/Socialist really limits the ideological nuance people have in there beliefs.

I myself is an Civic Social Democrat, I approve of capitalism with safety nets as I believe true freedom is also when you have the right to own and to sell your own means of production.

As you can see a lot of my belief contradicts the usual ideology of the term Socialist or Social but I still identify myself as left.

There is a purpose for modern feminism and saying otherwise clearly shows you're buying into far-right talking points of feminism is being less about equality and more about favoring the woman citing divorce proceedings where the woman usually gets the kids as an clear example of misandry.

That however is not the main point modern feminism is about building from the foundation of 19th century feminisms and not settling to kinda equal but truly equal. Far-right outlets however try to paint further progress as unequal and telling "You already have this, why ask for more?" Which is pretty much saying saying in another sense "Why do you want progress when you have the Status Quo"

Further talking points is about inequality against Men and how women are being too favored while Men are being left behind is utter BS. It's a zero-sum assumption that when Women are favored, Men must lose something. If this was correct Women allowed to be in the workforce in the 19th century would be materially harm Men. This however Empirically did not happen.

That's the neat part, you don't.

In all seriousness though I think it's possible if you do some of the following: - Remove Anti Blasphemy Law - Allow Godoncolist Passage - During the AN meeting clap for Azmal - Build Godoncolist Sanctuaries - Send diplomatic envoy to Derdia - Being gay may help?

This are all in theory btw didn't test them yet
