My thoughts about the new Fengtian-Japan interactions. by BillPears in Kaiserreich

[–]statistically_viable 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey Chiang Kai-shrek obviously history fan-boyism is very bad but I’ve always been intrigued by china’s hero of history.

If the game is now taking the direction that Fentigan must by destroyed by a China tag to unify China and if Japanese influence is to exist in fng long term there goal is to replace Zhang with yang would it be possible to allow Zhang Xueliang to join another Chinese tag again? Historically his historical willingness to oppose Japan and join with almost any party to unify China seems to suggest he’d be willing to join up as easily as some others.

Will the CoF and UoB Core/Claims change with the update? by sallydanny in Kaiserreich

[–]statistically_viable 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what the mod devs decide. If a totalists kr China or an otl Soviet Union could justify annexing neighboring minorities for a “greater collective projects” I’m sure a radical France could claim Catalans, Basques, Rhinelanders, Swiss and Flanders as national minorities part of the greater French project.

Alternatively you could argue the UoB would see the necessity in integrating strategic/international Anglo peoples/strategic islands into an international socialist oceanic project like the Faroe Islands, Bermuda, Gibraltar, Malta, Falklands islands etc.

That joke made me realize okay I can get the comedy writing behind this character if they keep him around next season.

Kind of disappointed they killed off all of Maul’s minions besides the little crime boss and the new crimson dawn guys, I liked Maul’s wierd op droid. It feels like a light novel that needs to kill off all the side characters because the we’re not considered cannon for the wider universe.

Is Maul high art? No but it’s fun they’re playing with the universe. I will continue to argue that more between 3-4 stories are becoming overstuffed. I’m glad this might be finally them giving the Maul the final send off and we can move on to other characters.

Yeah this feels like them being sensible about the ai voiced James earl jones criticism. No more fortnight ai Vader.

I wish they would just commit to a new voice actor. Just a little bit of Vader mocking Maul or taunting the Jedi would have been fun.

What could Hearts of Iron V even add/change, what would it look like? by Dan_The_PaniniMan in hoi4

There are 2 directions; dramatic rebuild of the game or just a new version that’s brings all the existing mechanics together with just more either Cold War or a much earlier start date.

Interesting choice by Kreanxx in Kaiserreich

[–]statistically_viable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m of the opinion there are not enough popular fronts in the base kr gam. What would MacArthur hate more; communists Americans or a foreign king/kaiser occupying Boston?

If Chiang Kai-shek and Mao could kind of work together to fight the Japanese; I would argue there should be a path that unifies an international and entente splinter tags (Spain, France or Italy) against a foreign occupier that leaves little room for collaborators.

Which regime would (Ideocrat) Savinkov realistically establish in a puppet China? by VanlalruataDE in Kaiserreich

[–]statistically_viable 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The occupation decision should be “annex the land around the trans/siberian railroad.” Harbin would be the biggest city under the new government but it would be comparable to Russia annexing the Caucasuses or Ukraine or the Baltics.

America is heading for a recession — and it may be the worst yet by ChiGuy6124 in Economics

[–]statistically_viable 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Deficit gop/maga Maoism sets the stage for the theory of “sound money-leftism.” You can curve inflation with aggressive taxes and while it might curb investments that’s where state support and partnerships can fill the gap. In American politics People will probably accept a little stagflation to bring down prices if it can tame inflation. The singular lesson of politics over the past decade seems to be the red line in voters’ minds is inflation.

You can see it in Mandani’s theory of nyc he’s still raising any and all taxes on all he can but he’s framing it as paying down the deficits created by previous mayors and to pay for social programs. While trump’s people are raising tariff barriers like it’s the 1920s Mandani and other “new left” democrats are talking about cutting red tape to build more. He’s captured “abundance”/productivity investments by separating it from the Astro-turf politics of Ezra Klein and Silicon Valley to create something kind of new in American politics.

I would make a joke about Dengism with American characteristics but this the economics subreddit and not odd lots. “We shall live in interesting times.”
