@JaneyIsPresent He’d lose so hard to Reagan in 1972 when he withdraws from Vietnam and the Republicans convince the country that he’s a commie coward.

@NekoKirito7 Wehrmacht soldiers tended to be pretty pro-Nazi themselves. They certainly weren’t apolitical.

@ProudBavaria Countries rapidly industrializing in EU5 annoys me. This is not vic3! Peasants should remain a large part, if not the majority, of a nation’s population through the game!

Guess it mostly comes down to how quickly you run out of peasants

Criticising Russia in ww1 on the tactical level kinda misses the point, when you have 1 officer for every 100 illiterate grunts what tactical sophistication can you have other than in the artillery plan. Criticise Russia for fighting like they had their 1914 army in 1915

@LylePSchmee @ZaidJilani Even if that were true (it isn’t) it would still make Talarico a better person than the guy who takes bribes and cheats on his wife.

TXSEN is so funny to me, because by any normal person's definition John Cornyn is a reliable conservative Senator but Texas Republicans still want to throw him out for a guy mostly known for corruption and adultery.

@surikee_ @The_Clermontian Colonialism/imperialism are not exclusively rw. China was basically colonialist towards the Tibetans in the 1950s. And the Arab rebels were tribal warriors who fought against Ottoman imperialism during WW1 and established a religious Caliphate afterwards.

@JosephBForaker @The_Clermontian i don't know much about the arab revolt but i looked it up and i didn't see anything that would characterise it as particularly right wing. imperialism and colonialism on the other hand, are pretty closely tied to right wing ideology

@surikee_ @The_Clermontian I’m just trying to show how someone could view Andor through a rw lens, not that I personally do so. Though, historically, there have been rw anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist movements as well. The Arab revolt, for example.

@JosephBForaker @The_Clermontian yeah not quite, the ghor were actually resisting a fascistic colonial empire from subjugating their planet and extracting its natural resources. which is a pretty strong anti-colonial and anti-fascist plotline

@surikee_ @The_Clermontian Andor is fundamentally anti-authoritarian art and not necessarily just anti-fascist. Left auth governments do things like cultural erasure/genocide all the time. The Ghor were trying to protect their traditional way of life from the internationalist dictatorship.
