It's just a 4chan meme. And now 4chan is on the Right. Ergo, everything that 4chan does is Natzee. See: PooPoo the Toad.

Quote from: that guy
People who disagree with me are just trolls!

I guess if we've degenerated to that point in the discussion, I'm going to leave and go back to writing some more constructive posts about dwarves.

Aah, historical games... Of course, the great charm of Paradox titles is to find ways to utterly derail history from its original course.


That is one of my biggest peeves of the Hearts of Iron games. They do too much to encourage a historical path, both in the outbreak of the war and in the technology system (which penalizes you for being "ahead" of history, even though quite a few technologies were only introduced so late because they were being ignored), making the alternate history potential much weaker.

Yeah, really. I can have Nationalist Spain be 80% Falangist, but the Civil War will go down just the same no matter what.

I have a sneaking suspicion that any response I make will get me banned for "racism".

guess what native americans were?
A bunch of primarily nomadic and constantly warring primitive tribes?

Despite only receiving two divisions of volunteers from Italy and one from Germany, I was able to crush los Rojos inside of six months. I Took the north almost immediately, and began my push towards Barcelona in order to deprive the commie bastards of a crucial port. In the South, I took Malaga, before finally breaking the back of the rebellion with a quick thrust towards Valencia. ˇCara Al Sol!

I know you weren't intending the changes to increase the amount of people voting for Trump, certainly, but beyond that I really have no idea. Allowing non-citizens to vote seems crazy to me, so if you want to advocate that idea you'd do well to explain it clearly along with whatever limits (if any) you are proposing.
READ BEFORE POSTING

Lemme help:
Ultimately I would rather someone I disagree with be allowed to vote than anyone be prevented from taking part in government when they wish to do so.
Citzenship right now involves arbitrary hoops and standards, people who fall out of other people while here gain it, even when many act like they don't want it, while others who work and strive simply to come here are arbitrarily blocked because why? Dey tuk ar jerbs?

This is a land of illegal immigrants--who murdered the residents so they could call it legal--sorry, I meant colonists, later legal immigrants, and slaves.

Declaring that it's ok to come kill people who live somewhere and set up walmarts on their graves but it's not ok for others to come here to harvest produce for shitty pay so we have something to pass over and ultimately throw away from that walmart is fucked.

The colonists weren't "immigrants" because there was no nation for them to immigrate to. They created one for themselves.

Not at all like a guild.

See, that model lasted quite a while in Spain during the Franco era. They called such organizations "Vertical trade unions". The "reasoning" behind this: merge employer's associations with trade unions, and   class warfare is eliminated.

Now, I guess you can imagine how much say did workers actually have in such organizations. At the end of the day they were run by regimee stooges and businessmen. So it was actually some big fish sitting together and deciding how to fuck over their workers with little chance of reply from the latter.
Was referring to Mosley's idea of it, in which the workers play an active role in the government of the Corporation. I'm not too familiar with the internal economic politics of the Falange, so I couldn't comment. I'll do some reading on the OSE and get back to you.

If you wanna talk suffrage, it's interesting to note that only 1.3 percent of the population voted in the first American Presidential election in 1787. The 1792 election was even smaller, with 0.5 percent of the population voting.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's going on in your fort?
« on: April 14, 2017, 11:53:39 am »
I had two were-infected dwarves walled off from the rest of the fort. Finally, one killed the other. Now I've got one dwarf starving and thirsting every month until he transforms. I'm considering infecting a bunch of dwarves, storing them individually, and weaponizing them.

Also top kek at the edit.
Yes, somewhat like a guild.

As a Fascist, I believe in equal voting rights for everyone.

That is to say, none.

I'd imagine that the only limit he'd want to put on it is if said non-citizens were in any way conservative or patriotic, they would not be allowed to vote, because then they might vote for the wrong person.
