:1984: ugh it doesn't do a whole lot but the devs said your police go plant bugs and stuff. i mean they are surprisingly pacifist otherwise, no arrests, you just blacklist reactionaries from important jobs (or those that aren't "loyal to the state"). it does take some of the pure socialist urban/nation planning away from an otherwise good game. not sure how historically accurate it is, but if bug planting and removal of responsibilities is as "police state stasi" as this gets i won't be too upset in the long run. beats murdering citizens in the streets for minor crimes

    Sounds hilarious, actually. Imagine if every college Republican failed all their classes.

    Honestly especially appropriate in post-WWII Germany.

      I think they thought I meant little kids in school rather than, you know, this.

      As always, I'm sure there were overreaches of authority, and I'm sure there were also times when they were correct (as you say, post-WW2 Germany certainly wouldn't have produced ideal conditions). This is from a half-remembered passage I read in Stasi State or Socialist Paradise, so take it all with a grain of salt regardless.

      Edit: they did not. I think they're just angry and taking it out here by interpreting everything I say in the most uncharitable possible way.
