Followed an earlier Kaiserreich LP and this one looks just as good. Can we get a bit of an overview next time though? I guess if you're familiar with American geography it makes more sense but I honestly have very little idea of how much you control.

Hmmm, odd that there'd be no Syndies in the east. I forget, what's the state of the Ottoman empire right now? Are they mostly about dealing with Arab nationalism or? Btw best LP for how cathartic it is to imagine a left wing victory in the US. Dang.

"Freedom" is relative. Is the person who is assigned a job relative his merits, who is free of worries of hunger, free of debt and guaranteed employment, more or less free than the person who is free to starve on the street and get shot by gangs, but doesn't have to pay taxes or gets to vote for mayor?

Hah, I missed the first movie actually, where I'm told he's humanized a lot and the other two are coloured by the fact that to me, Iron Man will always pretty much be "80's Capitalism is great, viva Neoliberalism" the super'hero'. I haven't seen the movies in years, but from what I remember the second one was the corporate sleazebag getting the burd russian to help him. Burd Russians dad had worked with Starks dad to develop the tech that Stark jr uses but because he wanted to weaponize it and sell it, Stark dad sells him out to the Soviet who send him to the gulag and he then dies in poverty and pain. I would characterize this as "a huge loving dick move". He also steals all the credit, which is a further dick move. Stark jr then proceeds to use the exact same tech to make his weapon, that he doesn't want "the darn gubmint" to have because uhh, gubmint is always incompetent and bad. Except instead of being punished he gets to enjoy the wads of cash he inherited from his dad and continue to be a worthless parasite on mankind. I saw the movie as the story of a man seeking just revenge for the sins of the father, in the son, whos fortune was not only built on the stolen effort of the two but actually did what Stark sr condemned russia dad to the gulag for: Weaponized the tech. He then cleverly uses the resources of a man no different from Stark to try and accomplish his goals. But in he's so focused on revenge he goes too far, but on the other hand I've seen movies like that; it adds to the drama where you're so out for revenge you start doing evil. Money can't pay for his lost childhood, his lost father, the lost credit for the world-changing invention. Stark is living a lie and he deserves to die for it. Or something, I´m being intentionally over-dramatic. I barely remember the third movie except for that all the poo poo that the Mandarin said was true from what I remember and the movie started with the song "I'M BLUE" because I've been getting more and more sick of being dragged to every Marvel movie and have therefore prepared better and better with vodka. I still thought of him as a villain after 2. I guess it was another one of those "oh i guess america is bad but lets make the villain say it so we can disregard it" thing. Also if he's seeking redemption, what the gently caress has he been doing? I don't see how helping a kid have a nice christmas or not being a poo poo-heel is anything that near makes up for being a drunken corporate overlord. Just being rich is already bad, being so via inherited wealth and then furthermore spending lots of it on conspicuous consumption bullshit just furthers my contempt for him. And to be honest, if they hadn't made the perfect choice in Robert Downey Jr I think people would be a lot less accepting of him. He's drat good in that role. Anyway, this was DP talks about that movie he once saw and it really annoyed him also he saw the 3rd movie in that trilogy and he dislikes the character in a few hundred words.

Really, I'd like for Africa in general, as well as the Ottomans to do more. It's sorta conspicuous how unimportant they usually are compared to the rest. I'm fine with Australia and SE-Asia just being a hinterland for the Japanese to conquer though.

The great socialist Maolini is the reason why S-Italy turned so leftist; he thought up this radical idea that it is not the worker who is the foundation of the revolution but the farmer.

And a nice sidestep of what would otherwise be a huge thing I mean, the whole situation of the Balfour Deceleration never happening and not the Shoah either, would there really be the same intense international pressure to create a separate national state of Israel as a homeland? How would anarcho-syndicalists feel about trying to create a nation state, about decolonization? Agean90 posted:lol at implying that america will never be religious is some fashion

Btw, I'd like to add how great your balance of fiction and actual gameplay has been. After reading some LPs here on the forum and some, usually even worse on the Paradox ones, it feels less like it's an LP and more like it's fan fiction that occasionally mentions the game, something you avoid very nicely.

I do not understand how they mess it up even in CK2, where naval warfare is nonexistent and they literally just have to have enough boats to ferry them roughly near where they're supposed to engage in war but no, somehow even that doesn't go right.
