Raskolnikov38 posted:what cult and/or collection of nazis is soka gakkai They're a kind of weird sect of Japanese Buddhism, they're generally fine, though they have their own political party, which is generally has earned them suspicion by the rest of the public. The generally caucus with the LDP, which sucks, but is the only way to get anything done there. They're kind of on the borderline between a cult and an organized religion. Contrary to what you might expect, they have genuinely tolerant, anti-racist politics, which is also something of a rarity. I've met some genuinely good Soka Gakkai people, but they do act a little cult-y. I think it's more of a function of the time and place they came out of, (getting repressed in the Imperial period) and cult-y is just kind of the vibe you get when you create an organized religion in Japan. They're not my bag, but they're pretty chill, don't do forced marriages, don't believe their leader is the reincarnation of Christ, and (as far as I know) don't have ties to the CIA. So if you were forced to join a cult, you could do worse.

I'm not familiar with the second one but it's that one. Evangelion Japan will just turn into orange goo the second you ask anything of them.

I've asked this question to a few reddit armchair general raving about how NATO could roll on Moscow within 2 weeks and never got an answer.

I think at that point Russia's well into "coup is likely" territory. That's my working assumption in the event of most hypothetical nuclear launches though. It helps keep me calm.

Regarde Aduck posted:I don't think they're gonna coup over a defensive nuking I think if Russia is doing so badly that Ukraine invades to the degree that a nuclear strike within Russia’s own borders is on the table, the generals are going to say “yeah no, Putin is bad at this, we’re taking the wheel now.” Note that this is not a “good” outcome, nor is it remotely likely.

The USSR famously overthrew Stalin and the communist party when their German liberators showed up. Many such cases!

Slavvy posted:The USSR famously overthrew Stalin and the communist party when their German liberators showed up. Many such cases! The military certainly helped overthrow the tsar and Kerensky when both started losing the war extremely badly. That would probably be a closer analogy to what we would be seeing in the "Ukraine crushes the Russian military and invades Russia" scenario than Operation Barbarossa. Note that again, Ukraine making it within Russia-proper’s borders is exceedingly unlikely. e for clarity Majorian has issued a correction as of 08:22 on Apr 6, 2023 |

Us at the moment: Yeah we know things are going very badly for The West (tm) but what if they weren't? We are the Roman mobility drinking wine and eating grapes as the Gauls advance relentlessly. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Some of their films were already upscaled, but it seems like Mosfilm is now relasing more Soviet films in redone 1080p/4k (possibly with an AI upscaler from the source?, they look pretty good) with cleaned up audio on their youtube channel. It really helps.

sum posted:I was trying to make sense of the problems Ukraine is having with mobilization in light of the fact that they should nominally have a population of millions to draw from. Also I was bored at work. The TL;DR is that Ukraine has probably already mobilized a significant fraction of all the men they can ever hope to, and depending how you crunch the numbers the remaining manpower pool might be from between around 1 million to almost no men. This is how Bernie can still win

DancingShade posted:Probably. My mind goes to Asterix books pretty easily. Understandably, and to be fair, a lot of Gauls sort of folded into the Visigoths and the Franks and the Vandals etc, who all went on to gently caress Rome's poo poo up at one point or another.

Key difference is that they didn't really intend to gently caress up Rome the way they did.
