Only Zionists have the audacity to use racist imagery of non-white men sexually assaulting white women to justify “retaliatory” violence (ranging from “individual” lynching to collective punishment/pogroms) and then act incredulous when someone from a group historically targeted by that violence doesn’t want to fuck with them.

(Yes, I know many non-white Israelis exist and can be just as much Zionist-fascist pigs. Doesn’t mean Israelis aren’t perceived to be whiter and more “Western” than Palestinians by Westoids, which is something that the Zionists themselves love to exploit)

“Tiny, little Hitlers” paraphrasing that one Donald Glover standup.

When Liberia was founded, the “Americo-Liberians” subjugated local Africans and placed them on the bottom of the social hierarchy even after “equality was formally mandated and the True Whigs’ dominance in politics lessened. It was one of several galvanizing factors of the Liberian Civil War.

So the fact that she made that comparison is interesting…

She also “subtly” implied Emmett Till had it coming

I remember when people thought it was going to happen around RDR2’s announcement only to get the usual rockstar disappointment lmao

Better 8 years late than never, I guess.

The Raid system seems interesting and might make strategic bombers more useful beyond supply drops and the occasional paratrooper operation.

The special weapons project system has me curious, especially w/r/t nukes. As of now, nukes are piss easy to get as any country and are only really useful as tactical weapons against armies. Now, it seems like there will be an actual challenge in acquiring them and they can be an actual game changer diplomatically (they also mentioned late game content so it would be really neat to see the start of an early Cold War system).

Also, urban warfare is getting expanded to be an actual meat grinder (a la Stalingrad), but idk how much of that is part of the free update.

In fairness, it means “Twilight of the Gods” and is a fancy byword for apocalypse. Funny thing is that the word is commonly associated with Nazi Germany’s downfall in the last days of the war before Addy made his greatest contribution to humanity in the Fuhrerbunker.

Ironically, it was lifted straight from Richard Wagner’s concluding musical act on the Nibelungenlied, which German nationalists used to evoke the “stab in the back” myth (specifically Siegfried’s betrayal at the hands of Hagen).

Songs of Conquest has been something I’ve been eye-ing but idk. Maybe someone here who has played it can get back to me.

The enemy operates like Orks in W40K where killing the Warboss causes them to all turn on each other

This one NPC has more personality than entire holds in Skyrim.

I assume the light red indicates coups as opposed to outright military invasions (but even then, there should be a lot more of that in that case).

Also, border conflicts aside, China literally invaded Vietnam for the crime of overthrowing their puppet butcher in Cambodia. It also invaded South Korea, regardless of how justified that was or wasn’t. Not sure why that’s omitted since it’s still a massive discrepancy between China and the US.

Tolkien doin cartwheels in his grave

I’ve never felt the need to watch a game stream until now.

Temple of Dibella, you mean? Or maybe you meant the Witch Covens.

People liked SAII for the “gritty” story but honestly I remember III the most for just going off the rails in a way that was unique from GTA.

Game was a lot more ambitious (and lewd) on the drawing board. There used to be a “Prostitutes” faction that was canned (alongside other minor factions representing professions that the player could engage in, like Bards and such) but the sprites (NSFW ofc) were left in the final release in random locations just because. Some of them made sense (like in Inns and Temples of Dibella) but others were… just there.

I still love the Daggerfall we got (the later versions cleaned up on UESP and released in Unity particular) but I sometimes wonder about what could have been.

Kinda gross (and expected) to see libs turn into mask-off “Not Stolen; Conquered” ethnonationalists whenever they try to reduce this situation into a “war”. Deep down they understand that nothing has fundamentally changed from the days when Imperialism was just taking off, but their solution is to just shrug their shoulders and act indifferent while trying to gaslight those who want better things.
