Ukraine was fine being on the russian sphere, but their economy was kinda shit and the EU was right there and joining it would probably fix a bunch of their problems Russia couldn't accept ukraine joining a foreign economic sphere and ukraine wasn't going to stay poor just to keep russia happy

The horse and his boy is probably my favorite one and I'm disappointed the world wasn't explored in more depth We already have the Book of Revelation, we didn't need the lion jesus edition

Impossible, I've been assured by movies and games that suppressors make guns so silent a guy ten meters away won't hear them

I mean if you have the gun and have the bullets you might as well If I had a gun, regular bullets, silver bullets and an angry werewolf in front of me I'm shooting every bullet I have, I'm not going to be picky with the thing right on my face

This is a great example of how I think most lies (and especially in the realm of politics) work, the liar doesn't care because even if they know it's false they believe it might as well be true You say something you believe is in essence true in place of the literal truth because it sounds better

This is my average vic3 egypt run map But yeah, the first three decades or so of that century were wild and set them up pretty well for future development. Sadly they didn't manage to pull that off There are a bunch of stories like that of proto industrialization just not panning out

Gafe @gafez.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yeah, I'm talking about the current state of things The non-german austrian identity is a post war development (in part to distance themselves from the nazis)

Gafe @gafez.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Are the swiss and austrians even interested? Like, they built their whole national identity around not being german

Gafe @gafez.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I don't think so, but it's not a big reach There's enough overlap to make them fit together nicely with C&T and bebop being pre and post disaster respectively, but it also might be that watanabe just likes having overlap between his shows and you can just find more with these two than with others

Even (and maybe especially) the first one, the *successful* one, is embarrassing and only got as far as it did through dumb luck

Still kinda wild that it's set in the cowboy bebop world

Fine compared to the hyperinflation of the years previous and the famine of the war years "Fine" as in "doing on par with other industrialized economies of the period" not "doing reasonably well"

Gafe @gafez.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

The role of the economy in the rise of naziism is particularly darkly funny, the economy was fine by the time they took over, they "solved" the remaining issues through completely unsustainable spending and messing with the workforce and avoid the fallout by starting the biggest war in history

What about influencer v. human?

I think it's not unlikely you'd also see that kind of terrorism forming under a 2SS Those same israelis are opposed to any kind of palestinian sovereignty and will probably react violently to any solution that isn't "they win everything"

We're probably in the interwar period, with a lot of behind the scenes doctrinal theorizing and development

I figure a lot of this is courtiers trying to gain favor by doing stuff they think the higher ups will be happy with if they succeed Just a lot of autonomous actors doing evil shit because they might succeed while the higher ups are free to state vague objectives and sacrifice whoever messes up

He came out the sole leader of China after decades of people trying and failing, it needed those contingencies but also real skills Skills that didn't necessarily transfer to leading china in peacetime effectively

I mean he won the civil war, he pretty much nailed that one

The navy having complete control over supply hub motorization is also an inspired choice

Gafe @gafez.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I like that the government has de jure control over focuses, but the army and navy will de facto fight over who will get to make the actual decision

And they tried to keep it small, that's the whole reason habsburg inbreeding was a thing

I think this is ultimately correct, but that one very important variable is the overall power imbalance Israel Katz is closer to removing palestinians from Gaza than Mohammed Deif is of removing all jews from israel/palestine

And the german government managed to handle the whole thing pretty effectively By the time the nazis took over the germans didn't have much to really complain about regarding versailles

Gafe @gafez.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It was kinda bad for the austrians who got stuck with a state without an identity and with a dysfunctional economy since it had developed to work within a larger empire that didn't exist anymore

I don't think a binary is/isn't democracy is a good framework considering puerto rico Looking at degrees of democratization is more useful

I'd still say it was needed short term to make the transition go as smoothly as possible

I think the chilean perspective here is a bit different, we've never felt the threat of the bear coming to maul us, we're just too far away. But the presence is felt, the bear looms over the horizon and considers us part of his domain And it has exerted its bloody influence within living memory

The blood's former owner probably feels the same way

Idk, santiago has a pretty effective transit system but I wouldn't call us a high trust society It's just hard to get everything needed to change a city comprehensively and some fixes need to be exactly that to make sense
