    New Deal Coalition Retained Pt II: World on Fire

    Because this is clearly disgusting, goes beyond a question of mere dislike and actively engages in defending fascists and genocide. In a world where there's actual fascists on the march again glorifying them even in fiction is inexcusable. The Congressman is posting shit that needs calling out...

    New Deal Coalition Retained Pt II: World on Fire

    There's right-wing bias and then there's whitewashing neo-Nazis like George Lincoln Rockwell by making them best friends with MLK, far right German hardcore nationalists like Gerhard Frey who never got into the Bundestag due to his party having zero appeal or the neo-Imperial Japan founded by a...

    New Deal Coalition Retained Pt II: World on Fire

    All of this plus how the fuck are the mods so asleep at the wheel that they're just ignoring clear and obvious fascist, genocide and all kinds of awfulness apologia that would get shut down in under ten seconds in a Chat thread or any other TL that didn't dress up their Third Positionist (aka...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Usually the Commune of France if you escalate the situation with the FAU too rapidly. Germany usually doesn't play nice there and that's the greatest odds of kicking off the war too early. The Commune does best when it has the chance to build up and fight the war after doing all it can to win...

    Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    Somewhere between 1937 and 1939 usually because of something France does to piss off Germany or France hitting Germany first. It's entirely possible to start in 1936 but that requires either player suicide or a really bad decision made by the AI.

    Ooh cool! Is there more that can be shared?

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    Which, with the exception of hitting the Romanian oil fields, would've diluted strength best used for smashing up Germany proper.

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    Which was also a major factor in Japan's surrender in conjunction with the atomic bombs. No Soviet campaign+the known predilection for the Kwangtung Army to disobey orders and do what they wanted anyway means the Anglo-Americans now have to clear that out themselves. Plus the biggest factor in...

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    Exactly. It's also why those in-thread arguing that cutting Lend-Lease would somehow definitely guarantee the world would be a better are not proving their case. Their biggest instance (China) was a situation where Soviet involvement was minimal in putting Mao in charge in the first place and...

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    More like saying having to choose between Mao & Chiang Kai-Shek is like asking if you'd rather eat a turd sandwich or a glass salad. Saying Mao staying out of power would definitely be an improvement isn't supported by evidence of large-scale Nationalist political violence, corruption &...

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    Most of the deaths under Mao were due to collosal incompetence under the Great Leap Forward. I don't see how Nationalist incompetence prevents that from happening especially since the Nationalists weren't shy about instituting their own version of political purges in Taiwan known as the White...

    How to avoid and WI no 1973 Oil Shock

    Which doesn't change that such a climate was influencing decision-making in the period. Which was also true until the mid 60s. Some level of imports does not negate being a major net exporter especially when you take into account how much of global oil production was also controlled by an...

    How to avoid and WI no 1973 Oil Shock

    Yes it was. The US was the single largest oil producer in the world until 1968.

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    Anything that involves cutting back Lend-Lease means the Red Army moves more slowly, fights less effectively and that in turn means more Nazis for the Anglo-Americans to fight in France and Italy along with more time for the death camps to keep killing people. As to your fantasies of a...

    How to avoid and WI no 1973 Oil Shock

    The US was the world's largest oil producer & exporter until the late 1960s. There's no incentive for fracking in a US that's totally energy independent & then some.

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    Funny you bring up Mao and Pol Pot as justifications for how many more tens of millions would've died, both military and civilian along with victims of the death camps, considering America's role in both of their rise to power. In the case of Mao as many other posters have pointed out in-thread...

    In hindsight, should the WAllies not have helped the Soviets?

    Because that somehow excuses all of the brutality that took place in Latin America, Africa and elsewhere in the the world in the name of Western power or the very likely probability of at least a million more dying in the Holocaust. Any calculus that says a few million more Soviets dying...

    How to avoid and WI no 1973 Oil Shock

    Regardless of your opinion of these policies the way they were implemented and put in motion in the first place caused some serious economic panic as is present in period literature on the topic. Prior to the 1973 Oil Shock the 1971 Nixon Shock was seen as the most serious act of economic...

    Rosa's Reich - Red Germany

    The communists may have more umph than expected especially since it was largely the working class that just died in droves in the name of national pride and a few meters of bloody, cratered mud. I'd also imagine, while the upper classes will rally quickly to stamp out anything with a whiff of...

    Rosa's Reich - Red Germany

    That's before going into the knock-on effects of a German revolution that, by any outside observer's perspective, looks a lot like what the syndicalist movement was pushing for. Said movement was particularly strong in France but also had influence in Britain and with unrest now also spreading...
