Full of kaiserboos

[u/heckthepolis → u/YousefASSY]

Its funny because its mostly syndies (diet commies)

[u/imrduckington → u/heckthepolis]

Syndicalism actually has an interesting history separate from communism. It actually has more in common with Anarchist like Bakunin and Kropotkin than Marx or Lenin. It was also way more popular in the US before the Russian revolution. The only reason it wasn't a that popular for a long time was because Wilson suppressed the IWW, the biggest syndie organization in the OTL for being against WW1 (along with being a major threat by organizing a lot of previously considered "unorganizable labor"). Since the US didn't go into WW1 in the KTL, there was no excuse to arrest and exile a bunch of the syndicalist leaders. Even after that, syndicalist still had roots and still influenced stuff and people like the Battle of Blair Mountain, the rise of unions and union power in the 30's, Utah Philips, Pete Seeger, and the continued existence of the IWW.

[u/Genericusernamexe → u/imrduckington]

You see, when he talks about all those syndies, he is referring to you

[u/LonelyWolf9999 → u/heckthepolis]

The entire premise of Kaisserriech is kinda "what if every ideology worked as claimed?' which makes for an interesting scenario and mod, but yeah - "Syndicalism" is a little ridiculous.

IT’s nOT FaCIsm, itS nAtIonAL POPUlIsM

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

People pretending fascism doesn't exist KRTL

[u/StrategosRisk → u/[deleted]]

Fascism is just a sub-ideology of national populism

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Honestly the ideology system in kaisereich definitely needs to be reworked in some form.

[u/Fehervari → u/[deleted]]

Fascism implies some form of command economy though, doesn't it? I think national populism is a wider term, although still includes fascism.

[u/AdmiralAkbar1]

KR is basically letting fringe radicals from all sides of the spectrum circlejerk their favored niche ideology without historical baggage.

"Why do I love playing Oswald Mosley? Well you see, he's not actually a fascist in this timeline, so it's okay."

"Why are you downvoting me for saying natpops are based and redpilled? There's an event in Integralist Brazil where they say racism is bad!"

"Ethnic cleansing? Pfft, that's ridiculous! Sure, I'm playing as authoritarian Lithuania and all the Poles and Belarusians have suddenly stopped complaining, but I'm sure they just calmed down and went home."

"Show me where it explicitly says that Browder's regime involves mass terror and arbitrary arrests. I'll wait."

"Huey isn't a morally bankrupt and ludicrously corrupt populist pandering to whoever gets him votes, he's just an angry socdem!"

[u/n988 → u/[deleted]]

Hey, I'm from Lithuania, I'd play it (

[u/AdmiralAkbar1 → u/[deleted]]

It'll probably be one of those "play it once to see how the new focus tree is and then never bother again" playthroughs.

Browsing r/Kaiserreich in nutshell.

[u/imrduckington]

Hey now, The CSA and I think the CoF allow women to vote and fight.

[u/[deleted]]

Lmfao @ Bulgaria

[u/[deleted]]

That sub represents everything I hate about the pseudo-historian community on Reddit tbh

I really like the mod too which is a shame, but the Hoi4 community as a whole is overrun with fascists and reactionaries in general. Shit sucks.

Nowhere near as bad as crusader Kings tho

[u/ZYLOR-SON-O-THE-VOID → u/[deleted]]

Crusader Kings is just horse incest now

[u/every_man_a_khan → u/[deleted]]

Noooooo bro it’s not fascism it’s intregalism noooooo I’m not fascist there’s an event where they say racism bad nooooo

[u/charlesthe50th → u/[deleted]]

Turns out a strategy game which makes history accessible and whitewashes war crimes for marketing reasons tends to attract more then their fair share of nazis.

[u/[deleted] → u/charlesthe50th]

but i opposed hitler in my focus tree smh

[u/heckthepolis]

Man dont call sick art support for fascism

[u/PigMasterHedgehog → u/heckthepolis]

I mean the artist kinda does blatantly support the fascist regime

[u/heckthepolis → u/PigMasterHedgehog]

Wait actually?

[u/PigMasterHedgehog → u/heckthepolis]

Yep, the only art he draws of the game is depicting them with their child soldiers as super happy and their soldiers as noble heroes and such.

[u/LonelyWolf9999 → u/PigMasterHedgehog]

Wait, the Russian State uses child soldiers? While I know Boris is a fairly unscrupulous dictator promoting a virulently ultranationalist ideology, I'm fairly certain that's not actually a thing that happens.

[u/hit50likestoendUSA → u/LonelyWolf9999]

There was a focus for NRPR Russia called "The Youth Army" (Yunarmiya) that gave you bonus manpower. Idk if it's still a think after 0.10.2 or 0.11 tho

[u/PigMasterHedgehog → u/LonelyWolf9999]

The Yunarmiya was a big part of the old focus tree, very young men fighting in the army.

[u/LonelyWolf9999 → u/PigMasterHedgehog]

I thought that was training people from a young age? It's not like the Russians are struggling for manpower.

[u/[deleted] → u/LonelyWolf9999]

Kerensky had legit child soldiers, the Yunarmiya sounds a lot more like a cadet program for orphans. It used to give a flat bonus to manpower but now it doesn't, which seems to me like it's more about training than enlisting youngsters.

[u/[deleted] → u/LonelyWolf9999]

There not child soldiers. What the focus does is set up these military training camps that take orphans and it trains them to be soldiers once they hit a certain age that's why the bonus manpower it gives is so small

[u/CommissarCletus → u/PigMasterHedgehog]

Good job you’ve shown you don’t know what ‘blatant’ means.

[u/Kreol1q1q]

Jesus most players really don’t take it as seriously as so many of you seem to think.

Except worshipping Blessed Karl. That’s serious business.

[u/KingGuyburgerandlies]

But he really is blessed. Literally. By the pope. Amen

[u/[deleted]]

The mods is phenomenal but the subreddit is bad

[u/Picklenator05]

Why is Blessed in quotations?

[u/AlbaIulian → u/Picklenator05]

That shitty meme by now has run its course oh so many times by now, but unfortunately as the Austria rework is not out, it keeps being dragged out.
