We need not concern ourselves with the fact that the capitalist liberals of the NGF would not do the same for us, this is the correct and moral thing to do and we must do it.

We're going to need to be ready to blitz through Austria and Polonia to link up with the NGF to keep them from getting overrun by the fash when the big one kicks off. We can hopefully use the Alps and the Caucuses as strong static defenses, and between the Brits and us control the seas. I can't imagine that Northern Germany is gonna be looking that great what with losing a million people in this war and with an industrialized war that marched across 2/3rds of the total area it'll control.

There's also much more gender equality and a long acceptance that women and men can do the same jobs, whereas OTL fascism is huge on "traditional" womanhood and the primacy of the patriarchy.

I took it as the cousin just not realizing Ioannis was trans, but it works as well or better if he knows Ioannis is FTM and still understands him as being a man but can't do the same for his cousin being MTF. What a dingus. He's probably going to end up head of the Austrian Christian Democrat party if he didn't commit many warcrimes.

Frankly, if it means we end up getting to wreck the Pangalists I'm actually OK with the alliance. Would be less pleased if it meant we ended up fighting the Allies instead.

Honestly, I think it's weird and metagame-y to ignore the blood and treasure Marathas have spent on the Red Rose Pact's behalf because we're worried they have claims to neighboring lands/are gross juche dickheads themselves. IRL the apartheid government of the United States and big I imperialist government of the United Kingdom allied very quickly with the literally Stalinist (derogatory) government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to beat the fascists. And that's without the fash being on the verge of the bomb.

Meanwhile, in this timeline we've peeked into the future to know that Sharqi has declaring war on the liberal democracies and basically also fascists in her ideas tree, and it seems like the majority has decided that we cannot possibly let Marathas join the RRP because no matter what those decisions will 100% happen. I joked about not wanting to disappoint future teenage edgelords by not letting Sharqi into the Red Rose Pact - but it is a good and proper thing that the US and UK and USSR allied to extirpate imperial Japan and the motherfucking Nazis.

When Rome and Athens and Byzantium are nuked by Valeria Postuma, will you tell those dying of acute radiation poisoning "oh, don't worry, we'll still win the war. Plus, now we won't have to fight against the Pangalists quite yet because we didn't ally with Sharqi and accept her offer of millions of extra troops that might have ended the war before you got to experience canned sunshine! And who cares that we're giving months if not years to the extermination camps for sexual minorities and Roma and 'Asiatics.' Never mind tens of thousands of Marathas volunteers died for us, as well as possibly a few of Sharqi's own children - those people are just as bad as the fascists."

You win the loving war first. Then you figure out what comes next.

It's a brutal calculus, but I'd take making this war drag on longer over the risk of being thrown straight into another one right after. And who's to say the fash and capitalists wouldn't also make their own alliance of convenience in response?

Like, this is what I'm talking about. I know the poster 100% does not want it to have taken longer for the Nazis to be crushed so their preferred ideology didn't have to team up with some legit villains, but that's the upshot of what they're advocating here. Maybe we think the WRE isn't running extermination camps? Or are "less bad than usual" fascists?

I've literally never played a single HOI game. If there were a way to tell Marathas that the RRP doesn't extend to offensive wars, I'd be very happy to make that a condition of them joining. I'm guessing it's not based upon how things have been described.

e: ah, so the bit about the ideas tree wasn't even in the update. It's entirely metagaming. And out of character metagaming at that.

e2: No, my error, the tree was in the update as per the post below.

I had imagined that there'd be some way to keep the entire RRP from getting hauled off into an offensive war against the Allies, or that the Marathas AI wouldn't immediately rush down an idea tree to start a war when they're already in a major one, but apparently that's not possible given the constraints of the game. Which sucks.

I maintain my vote, the fascists must be stopped, but I admit it may end up an error.

I can imagine a world where the Red Rose Pact and Allies aren't trying to exterminate each other. I can't imagine one where that's true for the Ming and the Red Rose Pact.
