      i also like that the second point calls for some kind of quantitative degeneracy meter like one would measure production output

      pop up message like "your nation has reached 82% degeneracy and cock rings are now mandatory"

        I want a Vicky 3 set in the 2000s with Degeneracy replacing Literacy. Imagine struggling to raise your backward ass country percent by percent into 30% degeneracy so you can Sickonize and become a Great Degenerate Power and exert a Cultural Marxist SOI on poor innocent Tradcountries.

    "SJW" apparently now means "anyone who isn't a full-bore Nazi"

    Oh wait, it always meant that

    "Increasing degeneracy in a country"

    These pasty nerds think Soviet Russia looked like what Pat Robertson imagines Pride Parades look like. What's the unit of measure for degeneracy anyway

      Is USSR austere concrete hellscapes where everyone trudges between the breadline, the factory and the cramped one room apartment with a dripping cileomg and eighteen other families or unproductive and degenerate? It's cause no church right? Yeeeeah

        Well, many European conservatives were horrified by such degeneracy like "gender equality", "education in native languages" and "universal healthcare".

          Which btw, they are still horrified by and activively working to remove everywhere they can. Except when they can use it to justify being racist, then they are all for that shit.

    does this person think ideologies like Strasserism and Integralism have ever had any historical relevance whatsoever outside of very small groups of fascist nerds

      At least the games have come leaps and bounds when it comes to representation since Vicky 2. Used to be extremely eurocentric.

      Still not great mind, but I think that there are people that are aware of the issues in the company.

    Realistic political compass style ideologies

    What the fuck is realistic about the political compass? It's all just vaguely defined bullshit, that's only popular because of memes.

      That is a pretty common canard. Women gaining influence gets attributed as the reason that Rome fell fairly often as well.

      that's what some academic weirdos like Camille Paglia and Jordan Peterson have made into their careers although they tend to flower up their language about it

      it's also a pretty common thing among right wing types to claim Rome collapsed because of too many powerful women and too much gay sex
