animist posted:how long do modern skyscrapers last unattended? there's a lot of steel in there The empire statebuilding would fall quickly due to the necessity to pump millions of gallons of hidden river and spring water out of its sub basement because it was built over a very wet place. Many such cases. And don't even get started thinking about debris. an unmaintained sky scraper should not be considered safe to travel near

Crazycryodude posted:The whole barbarian invasion narrative is pretty suspect in general I think, it was Gibbon's analysis in the 1700's and has just kinda stuck in the popular consciousness ever since but professional history has moved on quite a bit since the 1770's this is correct. prevailing theory is that most average western citizens may not have even noticed a transition. the west had been a backwater of unprofitable and indefensible provinces 2 centuries before the supposed fall. one day you look up and the boss is odoacer who cares theres manure to shovel, its not like they never had a foreign emperor come in and seize the state before.

projecthalaxy posted:The FBI works for the president right? Don't they have like tanks and stuff by now? I seem recall the FBI using tanks at Waco, which is frequently considered US soil the fbi is law enforcement, regiments of soldiers arent. u can only use soldiers to attack/defend you cant serve a warrant with them. so they soldier up their agents and give them warmachines but they only have enough of them to terrorize a compound full of burning children and not enough to maintain order in a city/state, they need state governors on board to make state workers (cops, guardsmen) do that.

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:Michigan has been a hotbed of antigovernment paramilitaries since just before the Oklahoma City Bombing. at one point the single most organized group boasted a membership of over 10,000, but its heavily fragmented since then. A lot of these armed antigovernment groups are very heavily infiltrated by federal law enforcement. yeah in the 90s the group calked michigan militia was synonymous with rightwing terror for training mcvey. and lol they never got shut down and still exist

DrSunshine posted:What happens to Hawaii? I think that if balk happens the WSP will need to draw Hawaii into its union or sphere of influence. Losing a toehold on Hawaii means losing a vital "natural aircraft carrier" for exerting control over the Pacific. At the very least, the WSP will have to try extremely hard not to let Hawaii go loyalist lest there be a Federal (or whatever other union) friendly bastion from which to project power. hawaii either starves to death or remains californias bitch
