Artillerija Bosanac sam bekrija

[lean oasis]

She was very cool

[dense sleet]

nah

[amber crest]

@lean oasis how are you doing

I’m at work rn but I was playing Medivial 2 as France earlier (I’m allied to Poland to deter the HRE)

[mortal thunder]

Is it actually her birthday?

Oh damn

It is

[lean oasis]

Yah

[lean oasis]

Pretty good, nothing much happened today

[dense sleet]

https://klipy.com/gifs/german-soldier

[amber crest]

Wasn’t she friends with Pilduski

Ironically

Before Pilduski became nationalist

[dense sleet]

Pilsudski is the best leader

[crisp wadi]

The Social Democrats send their regards 🌹

[dense sleet]

the german nationalist are sending more lead

[amber crest]

HRE in medivial 2 when played by the player 💪 HRE when played by the AI 😭

I’m probably gonna invade England

As they are really pissing me off as France

Also Caen is a strategic liability for me

Might play Poland after I win as France

Breslau and Prague should be my first targets because of how the borders are more defensible

And Thorn too

[meager patrol]

@worldly rose you are the cutest thing ever

[amber crest]

What to do as Poland in Medival 2 @lean oasis
Consolidate the west first then the east also leave Russia alive because they are a good bulwark against the Mongols and later timurids

[analog roost]

never ask a freikorp what they did with her 👀

[molten topaz]

kinda enjoyed this game

[lean oasis]

Probably yeah consolidate the west first

[lean oasis]

Not very cash money of them to have her slimed out

[crisp wadi]

Did the right thing, Soc Dem W.

[amber crest]

I killed Russia one time as Poland and it bit me in the ass as the mongols crushed me

[lean oasis]

Well no I'd say collaborating with a far right paramilitary group to fight off Communists (while your party's goal is eventually establishing socialism) doesn't seem like a W.

Like logically it'd make more sense for "socialists" to collaborate with communists instead of a far right paramilitary group, no?

[crisp wadi]

yet those so called 'far rightists' voted SPD, or became Bolsheviks and had Jewish soldiers amongst their ranks.

The Freikorps is not a monolith.

[lean oasis]

Not according to Google

[crisp wadi]

"Not according to Google AI"

https://tenor.com/view/ahem-shit-loser-seriously-gif-5731140

Read a book on the Weimar Republic before speaking on this.

[lean oasis]

Not ai, it's quoting an article, and the second ss is Wikipedia

[crisp wadi]

I really do not like the Wiki space at all.

[lean oasis]

Hell, even if theoretically the Freikorps were socialists, then it makes even less sense for them to fight off people who wanted to liberate the working class and instead continue with a capitalist economy

[crisp wadi]

Ben Scotts "Re-evaulation of the Freikorps" dispels those cliches pushed by Wikipedia and online encyclopedia.

Dalberg and Sgt. Weinstein come to mind. Not to mention Freikorps and German Army relationship too.

I would believe primary sources and good secondary sources over wikipedia anyday.

[lean oasis]

Okay then, why would socialists fight against communists in order to preserve capitalism? How is that a W?

[amber crest]

I’m gonna end this here

[crisp wadi]

Socialists and Communists infighting has been there since forever, ever since the battle between 'revisionists' and 'partisan vanguardists' in 1919.

The line was drawn in 1919, with the Third Internationale, and more likely earlier.

Especcially when Lenin started to kill off socialists and shut down their Soviets in 1918.

[amber crest]

His reacting to loosing a democratic election in 1917

[crisp wadi]

That too.

the Left SRs and Mensheviks were way more popular.

[mortal thunder]

Technically they aren't breaking any rules since it isn't modern Politics

[amber crest]

I’m gonna be on standby incase it gets heated

[crisp wadi]

Hence thats why in the Soviets with the Menshevik Majority, he sneakily introduced ways to give more voting weight to Bolsheviks, etc

or outright just kicking everyone out to place Bolshevik yes men.

[lean oasis]

Doesn't really explain why they'd keep capitalism, like okay I guess I can understand the infighting but why would they then preserve capitalism?

[mortal thunder]

Yeah I think that's for the better since it can and probably will escalate

[crisp wadi]

Maybe because if you enforce socialism in a famine ridden Germany with unemployed people

more would die and cause a similar economic disaster like War communism did?

https://tenor.com/view/druski-shrug-hands-up-druski-shrug-druski-idk-meme-gif-7093177929627107381

[lean oasis]

And how do you think capitalism would solve that issue? This argument is just based on the idea that "socialism = starvation"

[crisp wadi]

there is a reason why Lenin did the NEP after seeing the absolute failure of War Communism...also, bro doesn't get the point

[crisp wadi]

Maybe because it would give everyone work and mature the means of production with investments and the proletarian population would increase?

[amber crest]

As one historian put it the industrial proletariat after the civil war in Russia ceased to exist during the aftermath

Because of how devastated the country was

[crisp wadi]

Someone has not read Marx or Lenin even.

[amber crest]

Communism is achieved acording to Marx Feudalism then capitalism then socialism then communism

Problem was Lenin skipped two steps

[mortal thunder]

Feudalism was crazy in Bosnia

[lean oasis]

Okay that's fair I guess

[crisp wadi]

The inherent contradictions and flaws of socialism I will not go into.

[mortal thunder]

Usually the feudals (Nobility n stuff) would have stronger influence than the king himself 😭

[amber crest]

France had the same problem until the 1200s like the French Crown only controlled the area around Paris

[crisp wadi]

Either way, thats besides the point.

What do you think of the Bavarian Soviet/People's Republic?

[zinc island]

oyun cok zor

the game very hard

[mortal thunder]

Bosnia had the same problem until Tvrtko came in and just said "no"

[zinc island]

im new player

[mortal thunder]

Yeah it's pretty complicated when ur new

You'll get better eventually

[amber crest]

Philip II Augustus arguably France’s greatest king alongside Napoleon and Charlamange solved that

He destroyed the Avengin Empire too

[zinc island]

I'm trying to learn on my own without watching tutorial videos. How long will it take? I start in Germany and always attack Poland and get defeated.

[mortal thunder]

True he was good

[mortal thunder]

Trust me watching tutorials will help ALOT

I watched tutorials and sometimes learned off my own mistakes

Don't be afraid to lose

[amber crest]

https://youtu.be/OTr9hqak8tI?si=mFnK0uPfX61yFNNQ

[mortal thunder]

If you lose you can only improve

[zinc island]

how many days did you learn the game in

[mortal thunder]

I learned how to play in day 1

I got good at the game like

Idk

Around 600 hours

But depends on how you define being good at the end

[zinc island]

In how short a time will they be able to conquer all of Europe?

[mortal thunder]

Conquering all of Europe is ez

You just Snowball most of the continent

While at war with the allies

But again

Depends on how much experience you have

Some may struggle

But it's fine

Since you can learn from ur mistakes

[zinc island]

okay thank you

[crisp wadi]

I am seeing two different Chats for some reason...

[amber crest]

France in Medivial II is basically Germany in vanilla hoi4

Both are overpowered

And focused on mobile warfare armored knights(France) tanks (Germany)

And have strong economies

[latent heath]

do they also have a spirit that can reach 100% consumer goods factory factor?

[amber crest]

No but they can go bankrupt

Like go into the negatives money which is hard because of how economically robust they are

[analog roost]

u mean esat frrancia ?

[amber crest]

It’s the HRE in medivial 2

[analog roost]

oh

i thought

charlamagne francia breakup

[amber crest]

Because it covers such a wide period and doesn’t have the change nation name ability

HRE is fun though

They aren’t as strong as England or France in the end game though

Still quite powerful

[umbral ingot]

I love dumb comments

[amber crest]

Hey Austro I’m watching a Medivial 2 faction tierlist

HRE is s tier

[umbral ingot]

Day 261 of posting Teto every day in off-topic 🩷

[umbral ingot]

Since the HRE looks unified

Makes sense

[amber crest]

It’s only unified because the Medivial 2 engine is limited to 31 factions

[molten topaz]

yay

[analog roost]

rabit si not a humna 💔

[umbral ingot]

Yes Sherlock Holmes

They are not human

[meager patrol]

Bnuy

So if it wasn't limited it would been an F tier lmao

History, i had to do something and so i chose the thing i knew the most about. now i regret ever choosing it.

[vocal fiber]

Why not?

[analog roost]

welp

[amber crest]

I wrote a whole essay on Justinians military campaigns in 12th grade

Had a lot of fun doing it

[analog roost]

in a normal school studying sum so detailed? 💔 i would understand if it was some military academy lol

[amber crest]

Also the reconquests of Italy and Spain were useless

[timid heron]

i consider myself lucky i have to only do the capital ships (+the heavy cruisers) and its "only" the german navy

[amber crest]

Africa was the only one that really paid off

[vocal fiber]

Most of the time I spend in school is designing invasions for different countries in the world

[amber crest]

Eastern Roman forces crushed the vandal kingdom in 9 months and captured so much loot that it paid the conquest off itself

[timid heron]

why the ever loving f- would you have to learn of ship armaments of over 70-90 year old vessels in military academy

[amber crest]

Compare that to Italy which lasted 20 years and destroyed it

[timid heron]

i have at this point studied every single strat to invade france in every game at this point- 🤣

[amber crest]

Like Italy was devastated after the Gothic war

And it’s the reason why Italy didn’t unify until 1861

[vocal fiber]

The best thing you can do

[timid heron]

that includes games like risk lol-

[timid heron]

i have somehow managed to push through the maginot without any CAS or bombers 🤣

anyways, time to get some sleep cause me eppy

[vocal fiber]

Good night

[timid heron]

luckily i have "some" time left

[umbral ingot]

Not a hoi 4 dc

Wheres the hoi3 channel

Probably where the history and meme channels are at

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gone-reduced-to-atoms-end-game-infinity-war-gif-15573921

we had those. Key word had

[meager patrol]

I can remember that game

I hated it

[amber crest]

soon...

[royal mantle]

There used to be one but it was used like once every 4-5 months

so you can just put it in the #hoi4-general chat instead if you play it

[vocal fiber]

CHAK

After months of not seeing it

Please

[amber crest]

YES!!!!

I control the Papacy

[vocal fiber]

Chak, I remember you told us you were ill, have you recovered?

[royal mantle]

You have your square foot of grace don't act like I'm that cruel*

[meager patrol]

So everybody can use it at any time?

Interesting

[meager patrol]

May i remind you

I can still remember it

[vocal fiber]

Using imperial units?
You have disappointed me

[meager patrol]

It was about me being a robot (before)

Or a murder puppet

[royal mantle]

I'm canadian, we literally use both interchangeably

[vocal fiber]

True

[royal mantle]

Just because I have the capacity to be worse doesn't mean I usually am

[meager patrol]

True

And now i capitulate

And look how my 3d printer prints cool stuff for me

[vocal fiber]

Chak, I wanna know something about you and Hoi4
What's your favourite country?
I'm so curious

[meager patrol]

After that im gonna look whats wrong with the fan

Its pretty Loud

Compared to the other

[vocal fiber]

He won't answer 😞

It's raining so hard it's like bullets

[royal mantle]

Depends on the game setup, but I prefer playing smaller nations and being supportive rather than the Major.

I tend to play things like Canada/Congo or if I am feeling spicier, Italy (where I use my units to support Germany where I have to)

Not refusing to answer, 10 minutes is hardly a won't answer, its just pretty late in the day for me after waking up at 5

in the morning, that is

[vocal fiber]

YES YOU DID

[drifting hornet]

Clicking simulator

Good god

HOI3 is atleast better than this

[vocal fiber]

Interesting

Are you tired?

Well I am too

And it's midnight here

So good night everyone

Specially for Chak

I guess good afternoon for you

[meager patrol]

But not for me

Rude

[vocal fiber]

No, because you don't let me in your basement

[meager patrol]

Bc you are too freaky

[vocal fiber]

I wanna appeal to Chak and he decides if I can

[worldly rose]

Aha, support nations 📝

Ive heard many positive things about Congo for that role ^^

[meager patrol]

Dont play it

https://tenor.com/view/stewie-rocking-shocked-trauma-family-guy-gif-3629549

[worldly rose]

I wont, I like playing majors in SP and just chilling usually

[frail fable]

we should rename it to hoi-general then

[royal mantle]

I think leaving it as hoi4 gen is more appropriate, considering that was the original purpose of the channel, we're just allowing other HOI's to be chatted about there as well

[spice wraith]

Remember #other-pdx-games

Or whatever it was

woooh! Greater Hungary! Every hungarians dream

The Romanians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Austrians and Serbs will surely enjoy this

[latent heath]

yes, they can have burgenland

we dont care about it anyways

[worldly rose]

xd

fair enough

You can get Urk from us

[latent heath]

no, but we would definitely take that flag

[latent heath]

its not big enough

you need galicia

and bucovina

[timid heron]

i am talking about ships which arent in service, why would you need to know what the ships had for weaponry back then?

[umbral ingot]

I need Croatia Bosnia Galicia and Bukovina

All of them except Bukovina I can get by joining the axis

[stiff agate]

indeed I dont

[umbral ingot]

Okey so I was given the list of students participating at the olympiad

There are 12 in the same year as me

Thats... more then I expected but at the same time, its a lot less then normal

Only 12 out of 80 students across 5 years

So I have a good chance of making it to the nationals

I just need a good enough grade

[timid heron]

half way done.

Playing as France in Medieval 2 total war

[fading geode]

oh

why

[amber crest]

Fun and powerful faction that has powerful heavy Calvary (I played Byzantium to the point I got bored)

[amber crest]

I also forgot to mention Byzantium has the worst late game roster easily in that game

In vanilla

They have 1 gunpowder unit they can recruit which is the smallest cannon unit

And you have to rely on mercenaries for gunpowder units which is actually historically accurate

Cs go is back

Thats so peak

I always knew that you could play it from cs2

But I dont want cs2 anywhere near my storage devices

[molten topaz]

no official matchmaking

but still cool

i do not need to download 70gb cs2

for 13gb cs go

[lament timber]

sad

but I mostly played again bots anyway

[molten topaz]

nice

[molten topaz]

community servers are still alive

[lament timber]

Peak

so cs go became a thing

more like 1.6

That

Would be a very weird universe

Of a democratic korea sandwiched between 2 communists

[amber crest]

They would be more prosperous as they would have inherited the industrial and resource rich half

[stiff agate]

But they would be sandwiched

Between 2 enemies and the sea

True

Soo either a) they die in a 2 front war

B) collapse and join the p.r.k

C) make the P.R.K

Collapse

That game used to be ok now its bad

[trim birch]

https://tenor.com/view/hans-landa-gif-13588332054919988806

Me when I like milk:

[trim birch]

True, it kinda fell off

[lament timber]

It tried way to hard to be hoi4

I liked it when it was simple

Its a simple game with way to much going on

[trim birch]

It's way too easy for countries to puppet others in that game

I once had one small island country in South America puppet the whole map

Idk how they even did that

[lament timber]

Never seen that before

But I also havent played it for a year

almost 2

[stuck agate]

But like that could happen. The devs haven’t really mentioned it

[umbral ingot]

Time for the olympiad

ok,that's fine

[worldly rose]

There are Reddits with Discord servers

[molten topaz]

ig MapCorn reddit has Discord server

[stiff agate]

nahhh

[stiff agate]

how were you banned

also just make a new account

[stiff agate]

and dont act like yourself on it

[turbid pilot]

imagine getting banned on reddit

thts insan

[stiff agate]

like the second most random platform to get banned from

[turbid pilot]

number one would be youtube

how do u even get banned on youtube

gotta be spamming schizoid videos

[stiff agate]

meh

uploading nsfw on youtube

the most random one is instagram

[toxic pivot]

i need new email then

[stiff agate]

then make one

[toxic pivot]

🧐

I tried to create new account a few months ago
One was linked to my previous mail, so that's probably why it was banned just instantly
Then I took new mail and although I was not "officially" banned it was very difficult to do something, like post or even just upvote.

so i dunno

i don't like it anyway

[rare star]

js create a new one...

[molten topaz]

it is literally impossible

[worldly rose]

that too

[rare star]

i’m exhausted. 🫩

[molten topaz]

why?

(I ment this in a sarcastic way how that line could be used to spread your own message)

[worldly rose]

Fallout 4 BoS is blatantly racist just like Fallout 3 Enclave

I like doing Minutemen+Institute in Fallout 4 and then prioritize Institute in the final part, cant really combine them smoothly

the people of the enclave are made in gods image

mutants are just a false immitation

[meager patrol]

What about vault residents

They shoot them

[turbid pilot]

literally almost every faction is racist in fallout

BoS hates ghouls

[night cairn]

you talk like racism is bad in fallout

[meager patrol]

And mutents are nice people

[turbid pilot]

parts of NCR hates ghouls

the enclave just hate false immitations of gods image

[meager patrol]

Racism is always bad

[turbid pilot]

ghoul lover

this person is a supermutant and ghoul lover

[meager patrol]

Marijn is no ghoul

[turbid pilot]

i am racist to anything that isnt human

i support whichever side leads us to a human only world

[meager patrol]

Admitting that you are a racist smart

[stiff agate]

I agree with the enclave

because the ghouls can just

go nuts and murder ya

[turbid pilot]

see this guy gets it

wrong video mb

i need to organise my files

[stiff agate]

and the ai in fallout is usualy trieng to kill you

[turbid pilot]

i should really reorganise my files

[turbid pilot]

the wasteland needs purifying

[stiff agate]

but most humans are trieng to kill you too

soo suport the master

[turbid pilot]

wrang

all surface dwellers are mutants

only pure humans are from vaults n the enclave

[worldly rose]

Institute

[turbid pilot]

i mean yeah?

they dont really leave doe

and they kidnap vault dwellers

[worldly rose]

Mhm

[turbid pilot]

see even marijn understands

we gotta unite under the enclave to bring humanity back

[white raft]

if it isn't human or cute it's gotta go

[stiff agate]

... turns to fog

[meager patrol]

Well

Mutents are humans too

And ghouls

[turbid pilot]

disgusting mutant lover

also they arnt btw

the radiation changed their dna

[meager patrol]

They are

[meager patrol]

They still can talk and have inteligance

t's simply a sped up evolutionary process

[turbid pilot]

they have extra fingers and toes some genetic defects and very obviously dumber

[meager patrol]

Here in the irl world humans have that too

[turbid pilot]

only successful wasteland cities that werent trash came from vault dwellers btw

shady sands was created by vault dwellers

[turbid pilot]

theirs is worse

[meager patrol]

But still human

[turbid pilot]

no

[meager patrol]

Yes

[turbid pilot]

ncr has clouded your mind

[white raft]

@turbid pilot who's your favorite character in fallout new vegas

[meager patrol]

Rather the enclave has clouded your mind

[turbid pilot]

joshua is human btw

descended from a morman community that survived by being in the canyons

[turbid pilot]

the instituite opened my eyes and the enclave guided my hand

i was a minuteman fan until i realised they supported ghoul rights

[meager patrol]

They are rather fashist

[turbid pilot]

so is the ncr

the ncr is imperialistic btw

[meager patrol]

Nope they are an imperialistic democracy

Not fashist

Huge difference

[turbid pilot]

the enclave isnt facist by definition either

its still a democracy

[meager patrol]

Rather just a Military dictatorship since one time the president is elected they can stay how long they want

[lofty gull]

heya have a a good weekend

[meager patrol]

Thank you

You too

[turbid pilot]

erm actually

thats just the mariposa base

the enclave has alot of rogue and break away branches

rn the series is leading to the real enclave

thats still fully operational

[meager patrol]

And In Fallout 2, President Richardson was brought into office through political pressure from his father

[white raft]

do they actually hold elections

[turbid pilot]

yes however not the real enclave again

so far we only seen rogue and break aways

next season gon be so good

[turbid pilot]

we saw em do a few but all the enclave break aways we are aware of are now eliminated

[meager patrol]

Yes, in the world of Fallout, the Enclave officially holds elections, but in practice these are neither free nor truly democratic The Enclave primarily uses the concept of elections to maintain its power

[white raft]

managed democracy

[meager patrol]

With alot of election fraud

Like Thomas Eckhart, he hacked the election system in the Whitespring bunker to make himself president and eliminate his competitors.

[echo sedge]

???

Whats wrong wit da ghouls

[meager patrol]

And bunch of Declared presidentship without ever having been elected.

[turbid pilot]

ghoul lover

[meager patrol]

Nothing

He is just racist

[echo sedge]

???

Yeah?

The ghouls do good cosplays

[turbid pilot]

alright ncr bot

[meager patrol]

He ran out of arguments

https://tenor.com/view/frenedol-gif-2209218097821193177

[echo sedge]

Idk anything about the fallout lore

How well done is the racism metaphor

[turbid pilot]

ghouls literally can just go insane at any moment

[echo sedge]

I hope this isnt a racism metaphor

[turbid pilot]

its not even like propaganda or anything they just go crazy after sometime

[echo sedge]

Probably just abelism or smth

[meager patrol]

Bos: okay
Ncr: best thing ever
Enclave: fashists
Minuteman: Citizen assistance
Institute: ai
Railrod: protecting ai

[turbid pilot]

new fallout fans

dont understand

fallout isnt meant to be a full commentary on real life

[echo sedge]

Oh so it just has shit?

Neat

[turbid pilot]

alot of its topics are very exaggerated and cant be equated to real life stuff

[echo sedge]

Lowkey love when media has shit that i dont have to analyze the meaning of

[turbid pilot]

and the creators them selves says its not really a parody of any one thing

it is parody on some stuff but not everything

[echo sedge]

"Oh yeah what is this meant to mean" theres dragons in it waoeew

The dragons arent even parodies of the monarchs theyre just thereee

This is peak

[turbid pilot]

and the ghoul hatred is very loosely based on racism and more on if their not human anymore but were human are they human

[echo sedge]

So theyre more of a question?

[turbid pilot]

cause ghouls are not genetically human anymore but some still retain human memories but most go feral

[echo sedge]

I say theyre like people n shit

How do they go feral😭

[turbid pilot]

they literally just go crazy thats part of being a ghoul

[meager patrol]

They are still human

[turbid pilot]

ghouls are humans so irradiated their dna changes

and cause of that they go insane

most go insane

some dont

[echo sedge]

Oh yeah you have a group of people literally considered subhuman by most of society i doubt its inherint to being a ghoul (correct me if im wrong im probably bullshitting just give mr the lore pls)

[turbid pilot]

and some that dont will eventualy

[turbid pilot]

you say that until a ghoul goes crazy and tears u apart

you say that until this guy goes feral next to you on the train

[meager patrol]

Most are still humans the feral ones just where too radicated that there brainst just are toast

[echo sedge]

Enclave propaganda

[white raft]

the original fallout and fallout 2 were social commentaries on political and corporate corruption

[turbid pilot]

wym most

cannonically not going feral is the exception

[white raft]

the "vice president" of the Enclave is a reference to an unpopular vice president at the time

[turbid pilot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1ezebky/original_fallout_cocreator_tim_cain_says_critique/

[echo sedge]

Idk fallout is one of those games that i see as alarmingly close to nowadats

[turbid pilot]

its just loosely based as satire

[echo sedge]

Fair

[turbid pilot]

but isnt very serious and dont contain real answers or ideas

[echo sedge]

Yeah

Idk

[turbid pilot]

most of fallout is just 1950 americana but it never ended

the creators just wanted cold war game but not in the 1900s

who knew fallout was about the fallout

[white raft]

also fallout has a massive "running out of fossil fuels" theme

[turbid pilot]

yeah but it is possible so far every branch of the enclave we have met is just break aways

which is suggested

by the series

[meager patrol]

There isn't enough evidence to say for sure, as some became feral very quickly and some didn't; we know that some haven't become feral for 240 years (or so). There are rumors that with highly radioactive materials, the chance or the process is accelerated. But some have still retained their senses in those same areas.

[turbid pilot]

the vault tec guy didnt go feral even doe he didnt have the medicine but some people go insane very fast like the miners in fallout4

if they have any place in the world its away from the general public

[white raft]

the original fallout and fallout 2 were satire

[turbid pilot]

not commentaries

satire

[meager patrol]

No since they are still humans

[turbid pilot]

very important to note

some people are dumb ash and dont recognise the difference

[meager patrol]

Even the ones who lost there senses

Still human

Nothing changes that

[turbid pilot]

the rights of barely human creatures to live amongst regular humans do not triumph the right of regular people to not get torn apart by a feral ghoul

[white raft]

i didn't know there was a difference

[turbid pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-4372156584801469333

benry what language is your native tongue

just curious

[white raft]

English

[meager patrol]

And here is the fashism again. The feral ghouls are Dangerous and need to be Eliminated, as same as normal not ghouls humans who lost there senses

[turbid pilot]

ok how do you not know the difference

[meager patrol]

And raiders

[white raft]

In my country the words are used interchangeably

[turbid pilot]

which is

[white raft]

USA

[turbid pilot]

ok satire is basically using comedy to represent a issue and because of that are inaccurate and not reliable sources to base your political views on since its exaggerated

commentaries follow the real topic as closely as it can and its better to base your views off that since its more closely representing the real issue

its like basing your view on politics relating to addictions using family guy v an actual study on addicts

[meager patrol]

And again ran out of Arguments

https://tenor.com/view/snob-rich-spongebob-squarepants-gif-13899241

[white raft]

oh ok then i would say fallout is satire

[turbid pilot]

this doesnt relate to fallout

[echo sedge]

Idk i feel like all of jokage's solutions are just human rights violatiojs

[turbid pilot]

ghouls arnt humans

[echo sedge]

Like yeah i admit the concerns are actually valid unlike irl

[turbid pilot]

like in universe

ghouls going feral is a legit concern

a ghoul could just go feral randomly

[white raft]

ghouls are overpowered in fallout

they get to live forever and they have a regeneration factor

[turbid pilot]

that too they are hard to kill cannonically

they feed of radiation

and can regenerate deadly wounds

[turbid pilot]

exactly its important to note because there are some people who actually use fallout to layout their political views

which is really stupid

[echo sedge]

Idkk are werewolves humans?

[turbid pilot]

you cant base your politics on an imaginary world with insane concepts because it has themes of politics

[turbid pilot]

i would say their mythical creatures and are not

[echo sedge]

Idkkk i think they are

[turbid pilot]

also ghouls are just memories of humanity fighting to cling on they are barely human in appearance and lose their humanity overtime

[echo sedge]

Who cares about appearance

Appearance should only be important in the first 5-20 minuted of talking to someone

[turbid pilot]

ok ts is not human

[echo sedge]

Capable of human intellegence?

[turbid pilot]

no

this is a feral ghoul

once they hit feral stage

they lose their mind

as the name implies

[serene nest]

COME OUTTTTTT

[turbid pilot]

ghouls are just a type of mutant btw we havent even gotten to supermutants ts does not deserve to live amongst humans their legit almost all insanely violent

like canonically only pure humans become intelligent super mutants and they are almost extinct the world mostly only have hyper violent insane supermutants left
