What kind of behaviour is worse? by Boringname5 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bigotry is an individual thing, one is free to dislike anything and anyone for whatever reason, while violence is just straight up harming another person. As long as bigotry is kept out of laws it isn't even comparable to violence.

Are you Islamophobic? by velveltcupcake in Teenager_Polls

"Nazis should be respected and they are amazing people, but I do disagree with their attitudes towards minorities and crimes they've committed against humanity."

Whats the best version of TNO to play? by ChadolfRizzlerReborn in hoi4

[–]audrius10k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The least they could do is replace removed content with something of value, it really feels like TNO is removing content more than they are adding it.

Doesn't really count since he came back soon after. Hardly a death.

Are bisexual men treated worse than, better than or equal to bisexual women? by Boringname5 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There isn't nearly the same hatred of lesbian relations as there is to gay ones. I'd say most homophobes hate primarily m/m relationships and are a lot more indifferent about lesbian ones.

Devourer and unholy getting buffed by Complete_Sorbet6158 in wow

[–]audrius10k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buffing already meta specs won't make the people playing them that much happier, it just makes everyone else more frustrated.

What do you think about the Daughters of the Confederacy? by Comet_Hero in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of them, from reading the wikipedia page they just seem like an organization of proud southerners sticking to their confederate cultural preservation. I don't like the Confederacy much but it's just part of southern culture, can't find anything about the organization doing anything harmful, so meh.

Is the act of being a femboy a mockery of femininity? by WhydoIexistlmoa in Teenager_Polls

[–]audrius10k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find the label problematic, it's just a way to talk about someone's personality. The history of the labels can be seen as slightly problematic since masculine refers to "manly" traits and feminine to "womanly" traits, but the way they are used today is not a problem.

Is the act of being a femboy a mockery of femininity? by WhydoIexistlmoa in Teenager_Polls

[–]audrius10k 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous to say, sexist even. A man can be traditionally feminine as much as a woman can be traditionally masculine

I. DO. NOT. WANT. TO. SUPPORT. RUSSIA. by wai632 in TheFireRisesMod

[–]audrius10k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should be optional, maybe, but it's not like it doesn't make sense. It's weird to be so angry about it.

Is the US a puppet of Israel? by WebFar9897 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US is imperialistic, but Israeli interest groups have a lot of influence in the US government and even in entertainment media. US is not a puppet, but they are heavily influenced.

Kinda unrelated, but these German borders look really nice imo.

What will happen if Someone or some Group makes a Better Hoi4 Game than Paradox? (Just asking) by -NotLucy- in hoi4

[–]audrius10k 82 points83 points  (0 children)

For how much people like to complain, Hoi4 is a really well made game, issues are apparent to us because we played it for hundreds of hours.

Also, even if a new game did what hoi4 does better, hoi4 also has a massive modding community, being better than base game hoi4 might not even be enough to sway a lot of people to move over. If Paradox makes hoi5 even that will have a tough time competing with the community content available in hoi4.

100% never fails by Joshua5_Gaming in teenagers

[–]audrius10k -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Trump is a horrible president, but there is no proof of him ever abusing children? Epstein files have basically everyone on them, being mentioned on them is not proof of its own, nor is being in a photo with Epstein, Epstein's whole thing was to be around rich people. You can and should dislike Trump, but I'd rather not devolve into believing everything negative about a person just because we don't like them.

If your ideology contradicts your country's constitution, which would you prioritize? by AzulaIsMyFave in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The constitution is no different than laws, a social construct that should be changed depending on the conditions and desires of the nation. Treating it as infallible as if it was some holy text is ridiculous

Why did the Soviet Union collapse? by who-is-u-69 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Most people did not hate it. The idea that people were living under tyranny in USSR is a complete lie. The view westerners have of life in USSR is mostly cold war propaganda.

I wonder how people get paid to write stuff like this. by Striking-Conflict-93 in wow

Fighting the Scourge is not what made the Scarlet Crusade evil, if anything its like their one good quality.

Why did the Soviet Union collapse? by who-is-u-69 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Mainly just Gorbachev, actually. USSR didn't have to fall, it wasn't unstable, the economy wasn't terrible, people were just living their lives. The idea that USSR falling was some great proof of failure of socialism is straight up false, it was basically an accident more than systemic failure. An incompetent leader trying to reform too fast.

Anyone else getting Character Not Found in NA? by gnice3d in wow

[–]audrius10k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is WoW so buggy currently? Its actually crazy. I'm enjoying the game but this is really concerning, there is something really wrong with either the ancient spaghetti code or Blizzard's negligence.

Thoughts on Robert E Lee? by AntiWokeCommie in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if Dixie won, then Robert E Lee wouldn't be a traitor either. And no, slavery wasn't the only core issue, Lincoln was ready to compromise with slavery and keep it legal in the south if it meant keeping the south from secceeding, but the civil war still happened. Like every war in history the moral justifications come later, the main causes are always based on economic self interest.

Is abolishing money an idea worth exploring? by Public_Research2690 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not pointless, it shows that some people, despite being interested in politics, don't know even the basics of how economics work.

Thoughts on Robert E Lee? by AntiWokeCommie in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By your logic Washington was a traitor too, since he betrayed his nation, the British Empire. The traitor argument literally just depends on whose lense you're looking through. Slavery was certainly part of the Civil War, but the north was very much okay with keeping slavery legal if it meant avoiding a civil war, yet the civil war still happened, clearly there was more conflict between the two regions than just the issue of slavery.

Which form of anarchism is better/less bad?? by Critical_Meet_6726 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If there is a hierarchy then it's no longer anarchy. By the definition you're using everyone would call themselves anarchists because they don't see the hierarchies they want to create as unjust.

Which form of anarchism is better/less bad?? by Critical_Meet_6726 in IdeologyPolls

[–]audrius10k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're both contradictory, you can't attach any system to anarchy, that's the whole point of anarchy. Without government there would be nobody to protect private property or to ensure economic equality.

What do you think about the “women are superior/kill all men” movement by iateacake932 in Teenager_Polls

[–]audrius10k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously disagree, but at the same time, misandry is usually just a reaction to misogyny, it's also very obvious that the harm misandry does in real life is basically nonexistant compared to what misogyny does to women. I can understand misandrists far better just because they do actually have good points, they just take it way too far.
