🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<Dersh in the Fuhrerbunker Edition


Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid. 🏈 💵
Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™ 🌭 🍔

How are we feeling about it?

I am cautiously optimistic from the all the gameplay footage released. It genuinely looks like it will be a fun multifaceted game.

Will my i5 7400 with 4 cores and 3.6 ghz be able to run it, or is eu5 a slog?? the thing that pisses me off is how on the timelapse the game looks like trash, the AI cannot form spain or russia, no polish lithuanian expansion, no ottoman takeover, there is no central european power, austria is stuck forever, the HRE does not have strong centralized nations, france never pushes to south rhine and alscace, and great britain never exists, as also chinese AI being exceptionally stupid and muscovy being exceptionally dumb.
the game looks like in a state of permanent 1337 considering no meaningful territorial changes happen for LEGIT 500 years, making even on hard dificulties, so that the player is allowed to conquer everything easily

>that'd just look ugly
wut, why the fuck would a realistic planet rather than a map be ugly

>it doesnt really fit into the time period

Im pretty sure the rulers and scholars were aware earth was round, fucking ancient greeks knew it already

>it looks better as a map

purely subjective I guess cause I disagree

anyway, they had their big marketing push and some youtube ppl got it, the systems look good to me, if they work and are not too horribly broken

First impressions:
- UI is truly bad, busy and difficult to read. Buttons have all shapes and sizes, there are UI elements that look like buttons that aren't buttons, and vice versa. It is insane. Font size varies wildly, everywhere. Not every menu needs a painted background! It would be OK to have Vic2 spreadsheet style UI if that's the best way to convey information. The tech tree, or "advances" tab is exceptionally horrible with so much empty space and big trees with no obvious layout or categories. Some tooltips are just useless, like "Pops with needs" - OK which pops? I need to click around in an entirely different menu to find out. There are also many typos, even in menus.

- I don't think that Goods system had to be so granular… it seems easily trivialized by expanding RGOs to solve shortages, which is quite cheap, but tedious. My Greek peasants need 0.00023 Masonry! Feels like a lot of additional clicking when system could have just been abstracted away to begin with for the same effect. IDK, I suppose it enables different gameplay for building-only polities but it doesn't seem necessary for the traditional gameplay, which is around consolidation of states. The game shows me 10 options but immediately points out which is the most profitable/viable - so why would I ever choose anything else? Even if the optimal choice changes situationally, I will always know what it is!

-Game seems rather easy, which again makes the econ micro seem like busywork. It isn't difficult to snowball or get ahistorical populations early on. Effect stacking curse from other PDS games is present here, too. Event spam is also here, with the same kind of boring +10% this -20 that effects. The events are not anywhere near as bad as CK3, however, so that is forgivable. Religions and cultures seem less sticky than even EU4.

-Situations absolutely do not provide the uniqueness that mission trees (even barebones ones in Imperator) did. That was gaslighting on the part of PDS and paid marketers (youtubers). They took the time to put in mission trees with the HOI4-like national focus window, and right now these are totally unused except for tutorial content. It seems obvious to me that this will be a vehicle for DLCs as well as Situations. Make no mistake, gameplay will be very repetitive between countries, especially econ busywork and clicking to build the same buildings (or slightly different ones) 100 times.

-International organizatioPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>44766
Positives:
- I do appreciate the fidelity of the simulation. Many components of it are great: trade capacity, transportation costs, estates building things, foreign investment, minting, inflation, laws, control. I just don't understand how they fucked up the UI so badly, it makes the systems seem more complex than they are.
- The military system is realistic and good. AI doesn't manage wars properly but that's a perennial problem.
- Diplomacy is good. Dynastic politics are actually possible.
- I really like laws and voting for international organizations. I can imagine some mod creating a full United Nations or NATO with this system.
- The mana-like systems are tolerable because they are tied and grounded to the simulation aspects.

isntalled the game and played for some time with 8gb ram plus rx 550 on lowest specs and flat mapmode
first time loading takes forever, afterwards it boots up normally
it's 2 or 3 days in-game per second at speed 5
you can learn the mechanics but it's too slow for gameplay

>it presupposes a substance called "value" which exists codependently of price, rather than simply itself being a price
before a value becomes a price tag it accumulates in the production process. If iron ore were laying around everywhere you wouldn't pay someone to fetch iron ore. You pay someone to go into the mines and bring the iron back out. The value is in that action, before a price tag is even hung on it. Value is socially necessary labor time. Price is the expression of that socially necessary labor time in measurable quantities of money. But if this is too abstract for you, suffice it to say that value is just the natural price.

I will leave this answer for anyone who has doubts and is falling for the austerity propaganda of neoliberals wanting to blame the unemployed for the decline in productivity in the United Kingdom.

The UK’s long-term productivity crisis is a direct product of capitalist decay such as falling profitability, financialisation, and rent-seeking, not state spending or welfare. Michael Roberts and other Marxist economists have been writing about this for over a decade.

<In the case of the UK, there is another particular problem: the UK is increasingly a rentier economy, relying on finance, business services and real estate. These are unproductive activities that do not boost the productivity of labour, but do reduce available profits for productive investment. Indeed, the relative fall-back in UK productivity compared to Germany and France etc can be particularly discerned from the early 2000s, when the oil revenues dissipated and investment increasingly went into a credit fuelled real estate boom.


<A detailed sectoral analysis by the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence has shown that three-fifths of the drop in productivity growth stems from sectors representing only a fifth of output, including finance, utilities, pharmaceuticals, computing and professional services. The Bank of England did a similar analysis found that it is the top ones that have become the slackers. The most productive groups are “failing to improve on each other at the same rate as their predecessors did”, according to its research. The best companies still improved their productivity faster than the rest, but productivity growth among the best has sharply fallen and this has hurt the UK’s growth rate.


<Investment in a capitalist economy depends on its profitability as I have argued ad nauseam in this blog. And there is still relatively low profitability and a continued overhang of debt, particularly corporate debt, in the major economies. In the case of the UK, the profitability of the non-financial sector is st

there's a certain anon who calls Michael Hudson antisemitic for noticing these consequences of deindustrialization in the imperial core

hey guys do you think AI will reset the falling rate of profit? also why do we need robots for ubi why cant we just do ubi with computers we already have. like think about it wages decoupled from productivity right when computers happened we could all have ubi right now and then when the ai comes we can have universal maximum income.

>i asked for clarification
You said >>2547113 was wrong. How can you disagree with a statement that you are incapable of paraphrasing and expect to be compelling?

Let me paraphrase it:
Do you believe that among companies producing the same commodity there is a value transfer from companies with less efficient tech to companies with more efficient tech? There. That is what was denied in >>2547113 and >>2548248 and none of the Marx quotes in the wall of text you posted in "response" (to the argument you could not paraphrase…) was about that.

There are people who are claiming exactly that, that for example less efficient wheat farmers in the third world transfer value to the more efficient wheat farmers in the US. Do you believe this?

>>2548694
yeah i dont think a capitalists luxury consumption changes the dynamic. indeed why would he buy his own products? this makes no sense. how would a capitalist buying a yacht disprove unequal exchange? what does his personal consumption have to do with the creation and appropriation of value in the production of his enterprise? you arent making any sense

Can someone give me non-bullshit explanation of how exactly Western PROLETARIAT benefits from imperialism?

The West exported their investments and know-how and helped in the industrialization of the third world. Not just China, but also SEA, Asian tigers, India, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia etc. This resulted in the exact opposite of what happened in colonialism. The Western industries were hollowed out this time, and outsourced to the third world. Now sure, the Western bourgie benefited from this, but the money didnt trickle down much. That's why in the 1970s you could support a family and live a decent life doing a simple blue collar job and now you cant. So where exactly did the Western PROLETARIAT benefit from this imperialism?

It's valid because existence itself is suffering, even if you're on the top, to think communism or being rich will magically turn your life into blissful contentment is naive utopianism, sure it would improve life but it doesn't resolve existential angst and the problem of evil.

The bullying of chuds would ironically be worse under fascism because half of them are weak, out of shape, unattractive, or have some disorder and would be seen as inherently weak and sick and worthy of being ostracized. The SS required you to be like 5'9'' to join, and half of these guys complain about being short, and Gretchel will still fuck chad, and in fact be rewarded with multiple wives if Himmler got what he wanted

It wasn't even because of that - Marx dabbled in phrenology and the stock market himself while Engels was a bourgeois - but because she tried to hijack the north american section of the international for what is very lilely purely reformist electoral purposes which led to her expulsion and also the expulsion of many other members. Basically the proto socdems were purged for being revisionist and opportunist, and now the retards (who probably love "communist" reformist electoral parties themselves!) think Marx was a based sexist because they interpret his sassiness for a political statement. Wait until they learn about what he said about jewish niggers…

Marx was 100% correct. Glowipedia omits the identity of these purged elements for great reason. These supposed "anti-racists" were in fact petty'bourgeois spring street anarchists. The feminazis were bourgeois who hated workers and black people so they had to be purged.

Trump Weighs Options, and Risks, for Attacks on Venezuela
The Trump administration has developed a range of options for military action in Venezuela, including direct attacks on military units that protect President Nicolás Maduro and moves to seize control of the country’s oil fields, according to multiple U.S. officials.

President Trump has yet to make a decision about how or even whether to proceed. Officials said he was reluctant to approve operations that may place American troops at risk or could turn into an embarrassing failure. But many of his senior advisers are pressing for one of the most aggressive options: ousting Mr. Maduro from power.

Mr. Trump’s aides have asked the Justice Department for additional guidance that could provide a legal basis for any military action beyond the current campaign of striking boats that the administration says are trafficking narcotics, without providing evidence. Such guidance could include a legal rationale for targeting Mr. Maduro without creating the need for congressional authorization for the use of military force, much less a declaration of war.

While the guidance is still being drafted, some administration officials expect it will argue that Mr. Maduro and his top security officials are central figures in the Cartel de los Soles, which the administration has designated as a narco-terrorist group. The Justice Department is expected to contend that designation makes Mr. Maduro a legitimate target despite long standing American legal prohibitions on assassinating national leaders.

The Justice Department declined to comment. But the move to justify targeting Mr. Maduro would constitute another effort by the administration to stretch its legal authorities. It has already engaged in targeted killings of suspected drug smugglers who, until September, were pursued and arrested at sea rather than killed in drone strikes. Any effort to remove Mr. Maduro would place the administration under further scrutiny over whatever legal rationale it does offer, given the hazy mix of reasons it has presented so far for confronting Mr. Maduro. Among them are drug trafficking, the need for American access to oil and Mr. Trump’s claims that the Venezuelan government released prisoners into the United States.

Mr. Trump has issued a series of contradictory public messages about his intentions, and the goals and justification for any future military actioPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>We can eat animals as we are top of the food chain
this is no different to holding a religious belief, only your religion determines that whoever is at the top of the constructed idea of a "food chain" is arbitrarily exempt from moral wrongdoings (you might say morals are a religion if you haven't had this conversation before, but that's wrong, you are nothing without morals, i won't explain this to you but you can research it, or figure out what a moral means)

animals are living creatures capable of feeling. humans are living creatures capable of feeling. what separates these two? is it the fact that humans can express information? because animals express information to eachother too. so it can't be that. your distinction likely comes from the fact of humans being significantly more intelligent. in which case, a moral argument could be made there. but don't treat animals like they aren't intelligent too, because that's ignoring material reality. elephants and dolphins in particular could rival human intelligence, only they don't have thumbs. as a materialist you must remember, humans came from the same earth that every other animal did too. the only reason for our particular success is largely attributed to a combination of our language + our thumbs

In an unusual turn of events, arguably the most well-organized opposition to the ballot question has come not from the Democratic Party, but from Graham Platner’s upstart Senate campaign—which is still less than three months old. By the end of this weekend, more than 3,000 volunteers across 23 locations had attended an organizing training event put on by Platner’s campaign. Platner, an oysterman and military veteran from eastern Maine, is vying for the Democratic nomination to take on Republican Sen.

Jasper Nathaniel is back with another report from the occupied West Bank. He tells us about a band of West Bank settlers attacking him and locals in the olive fields of Turmus’ayya, including an old woman who was beaten unconscious on camera. He then talks about the Israeli military and intelligence’s response to the crime, the footage actually breaking through to the mainstream Anglophone press, and various U.S. Senators’ response to the attack. Finally, he closes with speculation about Trump and Netanyahu’s refusal to sign on to an official West Bank annexation.

Bill Gates Wants Us to Do Less About the Climate Crisis
When Bill Gates speaks about climate change, the world listens. That’s why his new essay, “Three Tough Truths About Climate,” is so troubling. Gates argues there’s “too much” emphasis on “near-term emissions goals,” ostensibly for humanitarian reasons. He says we should focus instead on the more serious issues of “poverty and disease,” in part because technology will solve the most severe climate impacts. Yet the points in his essay are neither “tough” nor “true,” but belie the same ideology that has sabotaged climate action for half a century: a refusal to confront power. When billionaires preach tech fixes and innovation, they’re not offering hard truths; they’re just aiming to avoid regulation and protect their freedom to pollute and profit. Gates’s advocacy for breakthroughs — fusion, carbon capture, “clean” cement — as a way to reconcile rising living standards with a stable planet is just a rebrand of the fossil fuel industry’s favorite myth. If salvation lies in carbon capture or advanced reactors, then drilling today becomes an act of faith in tomorrow’s miracles. Consider Occidental Petroleum. The oil major is building “Stratos,” a vast carbon capture operation in Texas touted as a model of “climate progress.” Yet its CEO has been explicit: the technology’s purpose is to “preserve our industry over time,” giving it “a license to continue to operate for the next 60, 70, 80 years.” These schemes aren’t designed to reduce emissions — they’re designed to ePost too long.

I made a typo and forgot a word. meant to say rightists don’t hold purity-tests on ‘former leftists’ because of how desperate they are for advocates and then how it plays into the christian-cult idea of ‘repenting’ .

Ideally you want people to believe they are allowed to stop being reactionaries and that often means they won’t face harsh consequences for being a turncoat either way. You don’t have to ‘reward’ people for it, but social shame is still a punishment. If you wanted everyone to lie about who they used to be they look worse if they were unable to cover it up. So then everyone has to stress about living a lie, and have even less proclivity to defect. I don’t see how that’s a good thing unless you are retarded.

I feel like we need to discuss why MMOs as a genre were never good, but how they were also fucking amazing. This is all due to when MMOs became a thing.
Most if not all MMOs people actually care about were from the early 2000s. They were all pushing the boundaries of capitalism over video games with either a subscription or whatever the hell is wrong with the korean industry, but, and I must stress this, but…they came out during the ONLY MOMENT they would've been successful.
They were social spaces, social WORLDS in fact, they were by definition larping sims. In an era where that was still a new thing. From 2003-2012, MMOs had THIS as their main wow factor. This is also their only staying power in media ABOUT video games, their sense of community and ability to break barriers…of course, all those external pieces of media also made it about how MMO players were losers, but nontheless, that was why they became a genre.
After social media became a permanent staple of human life, MMOs had practically no point anymore. Most of them were already garbage gameplay wise. This is why we all want classic wow, or classic maple, or the return of wonderking (which, by the way, looks like actual garbage, to my dismay).
We didn't "grow out" of MMOs, that is what idiots with no argument say to shut you up, the WORLD outgrew MMOs, and sadly, we have been conditioned to not be impressed or enamoured.
>what the fuck are you saying OP??
I'm saying what I mean, anon. Maybe I was groomed by this industry to endure capitalism, but DAMN IT, there was a time talking to someone as your personal chibi avatar was cool and FUN! Now it's a fucking bore, I cannot understand why anyone would play an MMO in 2025, almost all of them are bad wow clones.

I miss the MMO part, but most certainly not the RPG part. Levelling systems are annoying, they either mess up the balancing for non-linear games or render null the difficulty curve for linear games.
I could see a MMOMV (Massive Multiplayer Online MetroidVania) having potential.

I used to play Mabinogi when I was a broke ass kid hopping from f2p mmo to f2p. It grabbed at the time due to how different it felt from everything else. The setting being based on irish mythology, the combat being a weird offshoot of typical mmo combat where now individual hits cause hitstun and knock back and skills having a rps relationship where certain ones can counter and stop others (though nowadays this aspect of the game is getting sanded off), your character aging overtime, all the sandbox elements like there not being any set classes or an entire system to creating custom music, I could go on. However the game is a massive grindfest and those who're willing to open up the wallets will always be ahead of you in it. I heard it's getting remade in UE5 or something but I don't think I have the time or patience to play it (or any other mmo) whenever that happens. Regardless, it was a fun experience even if I managed to not make friends in an mmo because I was scared of people thinking I was ass at the game.

>bad wow clone
funny considering wow is probably the worst of the currently popular ones in terms of gameplay

It was never going to work.
Corbyn is a stubborn Bennite autistmo goat who is surrounded by completely cynical Labour staffers who simply are stuck with the fact they picked the losing horse in the Labour civil war.
Sultana is a fucking delusional turbo wokie who's entire platform is functionally decided by GreenandPleasant and Tiktok, who also delusionally thinks that most Muslims are like her, rather than the fact she's lucky she came from a middle class liberal family compared the 80% of the rest of UK muslim households that would have shipped her off to an arranged marraige with her cousin in the hinterlands of Pakistan for being an "uppity feminist bitch who doesn't know her place".
Then the rest of the party leadership are just cynical Muslim idpollers who are simply riding the left to get into positions of power, so they can backstab the left and institute Sharia law.
A leftist party to really get off the ground needs to be a extremely well oiled and serious political party and show they are willing to make the hard calls, especially on issues the left is seen as pathetically weak on like foreign policy, policing, borders etc.
>"But muh Greens are going up in polling"
Because they are being artifically boosted to drag the left into a fucking bear trap that they will close on come election time to make the left look even more like a joke. Any time you see the media give POSITIVE coverage to anything left wing, you can 99.999% of the time be sure that it's a trap. The left could cure cancer and the media would say Cancer is actually good, so why is Polanski getting such positive coverage from the BBC and Guardian and the New Statesman and even the Telegraph and the like?
Because many of the Greens policies are truly batshit to the electorate and they will be used to smear the entire left as a joke come election time, it also functionally kneecaps Your Party which the establishment see more as a threat, while also splitting the left vote between three parties.
That said, the entire Western left has absolute complete and total actual fucking shit for brains when it comes to political tactics and messaging or noticing obvious fucking traps so i'm just going to shaudenfreude enjoy the inevitable outcome of the elections when Reform absolutely thrash everyone and the left learns no Post too long.
