Right-Wing Discussion Thread XVIII: Hyena Central Command 憶ラ

Neither Attila or Genghis did anything wrong. They were punishments sent by God to punish the hubris of men.

[The East Marches II]

I always procrastinate on doing my laundry. I should hire a maid.

How much would that run you? Can you trust them in the house?

[The Liberated Territories]

I do my laundry at 3am in the morning. Get on my level.

Idk about all that, but Genghis was a great ruler.

I agree, for different reasons:

[Neanderthaland]

Well, Attila probably shouldn't have gotten so drunk he choked to death from a nosebleed...

[Dumb Ideologies]

Idk about all that, but Genghis was a great ruler.

He was the greatest lover and the strongest man of his day.

[Totally Not OEP]

Let them fear...

[United Muscovite Nations]

Idk about all that, but Genghis was a great ruler.

He was the greatest lover and the strongest man of his day.

And we have heard that all the women fell for him, so they say.

Genghis is like the Futurama robot “The world must learn of our peaceful ways…by force!”

Been a while since I did some history speculation, so I'm cross-posting this from LWDT:

First, I think Harry Truman had the right idea during WWII; we should've let the Soviets and Germans beat the hell out of each other. Withholding aid and our own military attacks should've been so organized as to either side from gaining an upperhand as much as possible, while in the process exhausting each other. Once this became unsustainable or it became clear one side was going to win regardless, we could've then jumped in and ended the whole thing. Given we were going to inevitably end facing one or the other in a Cold War, this seems like the smartest strategy to me.

Next, I likewise think General Powell and LeMay were right during the Cuban Crisis. Strategically, the USSR was beyond weak with U.S. intelligence at the time speculating the U.S. had a 17 to 1 advantage in nuclear arms; the reality was actually much higher in favor of the United States. The Soviets had only recently deployed the SS-7, their only missile capable of intercontinental ranges, and only had 20 in total. With a CEP measured in miles combined with a 15-30% failure rate, it's unlikely more than a few-if any-could even reach the United States particularly thanks to all the NIKE missile batteries around strategic American targets in the day. Likewise, the Soviets had about 165 bombers capable of reaching the United States.....against over 1,000 interceptors of the Air Defense Command, three radar lines, Texas Towers and the like. Also, NIKE and BOMARC could be used against bombers too.

We could've crushed the Sino-Soviet Bloc within 24 hours, ending the Cold War and Communism right there with minimal American losses.

Seeing what has happened after the Cold War and all the degeneracy and decline that has followed I don’t think ending the Cold War that early on would have been a good idea

Is Bane OEP or is OEP Bane?

I have some of the RWDT: Apocalypse Edition map made, so that's cool I guess?



So you support the Thalmor's useful idiot? Smh.

I take it I am one of the technobarbarian warlords in the Prairies. Because, if so.

> I take it I am one of the technobarbarian warlords in the Prairies.

Yep. You and your loyal band of reavers and cutthroats are currently preparing for a harsh winter, as predicted by the shamans and wise ones. This means that you're demanding greater tribute than usual from "vassal" settlements within your turf. The residents of the settlements are becoming displeased, and rumors abound that some are plotting to take up arms and drive you away. Also of concern are rapidly dwindling supplies of usable pre-Collapse oil reserves; adopting horses, however, is well within the realm of possibility.

[Thermodolia]

Is Bane OEP or is OEP Bane?

OEP is Bane

[Xuloqoia]

Is Bane OEP or is OEP Bane?

Neither. OEP is OEP, and Bane is Bane. OEP != Bane, and Bane != OEP.

I will never ever hire someone to clean my house. Fuck that I got too much shit that I can’t trust randos with

Neither. OEP is OEP, and Bane is Bane. OEP != Bane, and Bane != OEP.

Actually, assuming that the Collapse happened circa 2050 or so, wouldn't that mean that all of the pre-Collapse oil would've either expired or been used already? IIRC, gasoline has an expiration date. I mean, the setting's [CURRENT YEAR] is 2525, so it might be a tad late for motor vehicles. I mean, I can see the usage of bicycles and horses and such, even trains in the few industrialized countries of North America, like the Pennsylvanian Hive. I can't see cars and motorcycles, though.

Biofuels and horses mi amigo. Would still posses access to firearms to boot.

Gunsmiths would exist, yes, although perhaps the firearms of 2525 would be a tad... simpler than what we have nowadays. A "blast from the past" if you will. At most, I can see WWI and (maybe) WWII era firearms as (relatively, mind you) common among "civilized" factions.

Til that Rojava must be destroyed.

How’ve complete was this collapse?

Tbh 500 years is too long to make any kind of prediction. But the most absurd prediction is believe that civilization would be able to remain relatively static for 500 years.

Somebody would be building something that is better than what we have now.

Yes. Because that would just make the 60s like the 90s.

We do not want to destroy all our rival, because we NEED a rival.
We must always be ahead of them, BUT not so far ahead we get complacent.

The Cold War was better than the post Cold War era for us.
The mistake was not openly continuing it even after the Soviet Union fell (but against the PRC).
