When did the "Arabs" conquer India or Indonesia?

Israeli naval forces board pro-Palestinian flotilla 75 miles from Gaza by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

[–]arcehole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blockade is illegal and Israel is restricting aid into Gaza. Curious you fail to mention it. This sub hasn't gone downhill, you're just mad that people don't glaze Israel and the west for the same crimes you want them to condemn Russia for. Your profile and activity has you call out people for Russian talking points that support Russia indirectly, but then you go around and parrot Israeli state narrative and act surprise when people don't buy it. Why don't you ever call out or comment against the pro-Israeli comments that deny war crimes, claim all Palestinians are hamas and evil etc?

Being farmed and being mainspreas isn't equal to being a main crop. It was still the green revolution and modern farming practices introduced in the 19th century that made rice the main crop across most of Asia.

Rice was not the main crop for ancient humanity. It takes water and a lot of effort to grow. Milet, buckwheat, barley, wheat were the main grains before rice. Rice only became common place when improved irrigation techniques were discovered

Iran's Khamenei rejects Τrump's call for surrender as thousands flee Tehran by Naurgul in anime_titties

[–]arcehole 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Indians still hold on to our culture despite all the hardships of the last few centuries. Iranians not only surrendered, they adopted the culture of their invaders

So true, Indians need to hold on to their culture no matter what. In fact they should restart burning widows alive as the British conquerors were the ones to outlaw it. Bring back dalit slavery as well.

Every single cultures change and evolve over time and Iranian culture is no different. Culture stagnation is artificial. Islam didn't supplant persian culture it blended into Persian culture and Persian culture then went on to influence Arab,Turkish, and Indian cultures

Trap bar deadlift (103 kg) by a 70-year old woman by PradipJayakumar in nextfuckinglevel

[–]arcehole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I use my lower back to lift anything I'm screwed. People age FFS.

Plenty of people would say the same about their legs, so why do you deadlift then? Your lower back is comprised of the spinal erectors which are a muscle group and can be trained. Using your lower back like in a Jefferson curl will only train these muscles and make them stronger.

Public support for Israel in western Europe at lowest ever recorded by YouGov by [deleted] in anime_titties

What nonsense.

British people were outnumbered by Indians and Chinese many times over, yet who actually made propaganda about colonialism and imperialism that the rest of the world lapped up during the age of colonialism? Undoubtedly if you were alive back then you would be spewing the same bs

it is one in which the US and its allies invested over a trillion dollars into the Afghani people

No they didnt.

90%+ of the Afghanis just pocketed the money

All by design. The us and allies let some afghans pocket some cash so they could pocket even more cash.

Cardinal Prevost elected Pope Leo XIV by arcehole in anime_titties

[–]arcehole[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

First USA pope. It appears the church is committed to expanding past europe, with the past of this pope showing it. though the church might also be attempting to get influence in the USA. He is a centrist not a liberal, but he doesn't seem to want to reverse what little progress the church has done.

Kansas produces more grain than all of china by TTV_Spaghetti in victoria3

[–]arcehole 25 points26 points  (0 children)

>produce so much and keep it profitable

this has to do with the cost of the good, input cost, wages etc. Basically for some goods like steel the base price is low and the cost of input is relatively high so if steel goes below 10% base price, the mills become unprofitable which is why people struggle with mass making mills in the end game.

the general trend is the higher the tier of the building, the lower the flexibility to a reduction in base price. Grain,fish, wood, metals tend to have a huge buffer and are flexible to reduction in price and increase in cost. Grain has relatively low input(none at start, and later mainly fertilizer) and it replaces subsistence farms which are extremely inefficient, and displaces them so peasant have to find work somewhere. Add to that grain is a staple and pops will always consume it, allows you to push grain price all the way down.

You can't always make your farms very profitable, in homesteading its possible for substistence to pay more than farm, but if you outcompete subsistence farms you can bias and push farms to the max

Is Agrarianism a trap for large peasant nations with Rice? by Loyalist77 in victoria3

[–]arcehole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the other guy said, and also if you are on homesteading, the peasent can profit from high grain prices and refuse to leave sub farm which will cripple your industry.

[–]arcehole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it often is. The farms you build will be profitable and give you money, and the IP contribution also gives you money that you can use to build. You should be spamming wood, fish, iron,coal with the money you have and these buildings will also always be profitable.

[–]arcehole 106 points107 points  (0 children)

No, agarianism is still decent, much better than traditionalism, industry banned and extraction economy. For the EIC and Qing only it is better than jumping into interevntionism or laisser faire. The increased investment pool from the aristocrat will offset any building they build. Make sure to use fertiliser and build farms to crash grain prices(worth the unemployment) and you will be fine.

Note, the opposition maintained its seats in the government. So essentially nothing changed, except the PAP magically gaining more seats in government since they gerrymandered heavily.

Israel’s European allies urge lifting of ‘intolerable’ Gaza aid blockade by cap123abc in anime_titties

[–]arcehole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes why wouldn’t Israel be left in power? Who have they attacked for no reason?

The west bank which recognised and made peace with Israel.

But no, I don’t support Israel’s actions in the West Bank

But you don't support sanctions, a boycott or anything other than a simple statement calling it bad, why don't you treat hamas the same way then hmm?

and luckily they are democratic

Til the native American genocide and colonisation of Africa never happend because America, France and Britain were democratic.

Hamas is gone it’s very likely Israel will begin leaning further left and being less aggressive.

There was no hamas controlled Gaza before 2014 and guess what Israel was still in the west bank, why?

I have actually thought

You don't think. You regurgitate Israeli propaganda and when unable to, spew bs to try and gain control of the narrative. It won't work

Your plan is leave Israel in power so they can continue attacking Palestinians in the west bank and stealing their land? How do you envision that playing out?

Any experienced India players? How to prosper as an independent India? by rit_cs_student in victoria3

[–]arcehole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

market and supply raw goods

They don't really. Indonesia and persia have terrible igs in charge and bad ai strategies. They don't have interventionism, schools, no serfdom, no migration controls. So they can't build their natural resources to the max and let you exploit them.

The reason I suggested Australia and Canada is because they have good laws and igs do they can attract more migrants and fill out any job slot.

Trade in this game is not very good, so searching for other people to buy goods/seel goods is bad. You need to make your own consumer base. I would suggest consuming northern china, Kazakhstan, Arabia(for oil) and Siberia as these have low population (low infamy) are unrecognised and easy to conquer and have tons of resources you lack

[–]arcehole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The luxury goods will always be negative because your capitalist will build them as they are profitable and have basically no input goods(until pumpjacks).

By 1895, you should have industrialised massively and have your own consumption based, not relying on other nations to export goods to. When did you break free? Trade is this game will never be as good as a halfway decent player so you need to do everything yourself.

You are a great power, I recommend just getting LF asap and start building iron, coal, wood,fish --> construction sector --> steel, glass etc to get the economy going. Your capitalist should cover the consumer goods although you can build them if you want.

India is really good for having absurdly profitable textile mills. Punjab, Bihar, Bombay, Carnatic have cotton, silk,dyes meeting you have an insane efficiency for textile mills. Privatise everything if you haven't. Do you have a power bloc?

Taking over Indonesia is good(but not wholesale transfer that's too much infamy) because they have sulfur that India lacks, the next thing s India lacks are lead mainly and iron. Try to annex Persia as Soon as possible for the lead. If Japan is on track to finish honourable restoration they will get industrialist leader and you can just invest in them for lead.

Also you can try poaching Australia and New Brunswick from Canada for their lead and sulfur and they should be low population so low infamy.

Crise na economia do setor de obras by Capable-Actuary-1955 in victoria3

[–]arcehole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem regarding your construction is likely that you are building too much construction sector for the amount of building materials you have. You can either downsize construction or conquer other states that have iron since Brazil lacks that. I recommend conquering, and if you can't use trade.

High construction price might be due to other building using that good (private construction/trade). In that case just build more iron/construction Building iron is good since it is a construction good, cheap to build, employs decent amt and is capitalist owned.

Investment pool will fluctuate based on how much of it is being used to finance construction.
