Fact
https://www.hvst.com/posts/the-clash-of ... s-wl2TQBpY

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Either way it's still "Estados Unidos".

I don't think that is a hot take. The establishment rehabilitates their own and always paints such people in a positive light, and McConnell would obviously be replaced with someone even more insane and grotesque when it is time for him to be replaced.

People often complain about works of fiction being too preachy, which is valid, but there are some works that need to be preachy because they have an important message that no one will listen to.

Historical grand-strategy games have been a net detriment towards people's understanding of how politics and history works.

And I say that as someone with numerous hours on multiple Paradox games.
Community of skeletons trying to rediscover things like "functioning government" and "standards of living". Somewhere out there a necromancy student is wondering what went wrong.

Not reflective of irl views.

I think it’s a hot take because Kowani is telling the stone cold truth. The next crop of me elected Republicans are going to be far-right fanatics.

((This is sort of similar to my belief that the RCC is going to take a hard, sharp turn to the right when millennials and zoomers take the helms. With the possibility of revoking either most or all of Vatican II reforms))

It’s either having “corrupt pragmatists“ or people like Rashida Tlaib will be on the left and people on the right will be MTG

Hot Take: Virginia should be owned by Alabama. In fact the entire United States should be owned by Alabama. No even better the entire world should be owned by Alabama.
