how dumb is Sean McElwee to have watched the last 2 years unfold and not realize how much of the battleground is going to be cultural as opposed to anything regarding policy, it doesn't matter how good your policy sounds and will materially be for a chud if you present it while standing on top of a burned out NASCAR and wiping your rear end with the confederate flag. there needs to be some type of meaningful reconciliation between major population centers and rural folks

i dunno what can be done about it, but there's plenty of people living out here in the rural areas who have leftist sympathies. a while back i wrote a letter to the editor for the local paper about how we need universal healthcare and for the next week i had people, even folks who are chuds, telling me they agreed and that medical bills are a huge problem for them

They run fine until you realize that the country you're invading has a different track gauge than the one that you're using. Which is still one of the funniest refutations of the whole hypercompetent German army myth - motherfuckers didn't even bother checking something that obvious.

technically they did realize this and had labor battalions to tear up and regauge the tracks. what they forgot was that wider gauge = bigger locomotive = more fuel capacity = longer gaps between refueling stations. and it turns out refueling stations are kinda hard to build

That said, it is psychologically softer than the reality, that the German way over-stretched their front-lines, and despite the clear initial successes of Barbarossa...there was pretty much no way to take Moscow and therefore actually defeat the Soviet Union. Better to think "oh drat if we had those winter coats we could have breached Moscow's ridiculous defenses and somehow deal with a massive counter-attack."

Company of Heroes 2 pretty much links everyone of those type of theories together in one game.

the 1917 revolution was centered around petrograd. really, you only need to focus on the northeast megapolis at most, but the dmv is probably enough

is venture captialist socialism just funding insurgent marxist groups with the hope one of them pays off and hits the bigtime?

No, it’s promising all the insurgent groups you’ll help, then waiting until one is just about to win and providing the least amount of assistance possible while taking all the credit.

it was in the fifth year of comrade mcdonalds' iron-fisted reign that he turned to the problem of brooklyn. but instead of repeating the mistakes of the past, he found a solution -- not shoot the brooklynites -- but shoot them into space in the first wave of space communists to inhabit a space station obnoxiously designed in the shape of a hammer and sickle, complete with a fully-automated craft brewery to smooth over any anxiety about their (non-optional) mission.

we will not hear from them in the meantime until the completion of the first five-year space plan. we hope everything works out until then, and when we get a report back, we expect it to be snappy!
