Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 27/09/2026absolutely, it's a good quote to bring. I'm just a bit irked by that oversight (?) in the song itself 110
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 27/09/2026yeah I know the one, but that whole song never really goes into the whole "running a concentration camp to manufacture rockets that killed more people than the rockets" thing 3180

Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 03/09/2026yeah the absolute numbers are too low, very clear with "infantry equipment" as well. But the relative amounts you're expected to produce are not that far off at least 040
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 03/09/2026considering the Luftwaffe was perhaps slightly better than Hoi4 systems allow you to be at playing the weaker hand and its expenses were even higher than you model here this doesn't seem terribly unreasonable Definitely highlights the scale of the air war though 140
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Going by Tooze's wages of destruction, if you assume factories model GDP and you have a mil/civ ratio of roughly 50/50 (which I don't think makes sense to read as mobilization, that's what the economy law is for), that's still less than the 40% of war expenses going to the Luftwaffe during ww2 150

Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I understand that you're outspoken and published in liberal papers, but man if the military reasearch structure is that hostile even to your conservative liberalism that's not a good sign 190
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Ofc I agree with both, but if you can't tolerate man made famine and mass oppression on the soviet side it's hard to see how you could in the British empire 000
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 04/08/2026You can't single out the Soviets (the nazis are clear enough) and then not also extend the filter to the British and the french empires as well. 300
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 04/08/2026excagerated and at odds with the Islamic messaging and imagery, but they showed women without Hijab and had a couple female presenters across the channels, at least when we tuned in. No need to fall for the obvious bait, but it shows that they are thinking about the broader politics in the world 0220
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I have an Iranian friend (Also a German, but you cannot renounce Iranian citizenship so alas) and watched some Iranian news recently. With his translation we both agreed they were talking nonsense, but the image they presented however was of an intact and modern state, increasingly inclusive as well 1180

Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Nothing has changed, it's "obviously disastrous and costly ground invasion" or "really uncomofortable peace, worse than s.q.a.b., but still better than more war". Maybe both as well, but neither isn't an option- 020
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I think we shouldn't underestimate the radicalism of our time when discussing the realism of the most horrific options 181

Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 13/07/2026At least where I live it's going to be mostly smooth sailing through climate change up until like 4° or so, but if we go that far we'll simply have to make room for more people unless we want to slaughter them all 2130
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 13/07/2026That's what I keep finding so disastrous about migration discourse in Europe. Guys if you think a few million Syrians and various African nationals are gonna be an issue we are not going to make it in the next decades 1310

Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 12/04/2026this is also projection, Trump clearly does have that view, the others are balancing between the Gulf states, Iran and Israel 020
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 12/04/2026And if you seriously consider Iran and China to be "allies", which they clearly don't do themselves, you're still missing the forest of Chinas weight in the world. 030
Edrial @edrial.bsky.social · 12/04/2026The "democracies" who have signed a formal alliance are still in recoil from threatened invasion by one of their own. The president of that particular "democracy" also then went on screeching about lack of loyalty. 130
