Yeah, I had to look really close to realize that there was no line actually connecting Quinine. Feels like they wanted to make things look more interconnected than they really are to make it look "complex".
oh fuck your right ! , then its not such a sick burn i have to say ...
Zelda, holder of the thesis of wisdom.
Ganon, holder of the antithesis of power
Link, holder of the synthesis of courage.
You fool, you have never even started to understand trialectics
I guess to represent the thesis, antithesis, and synthesis, but I've never seen a triforce used for that lol
Pharmaceuticals > Quinine > Anarchism
paradox does a little sectarianism
actually the line to anarchism comes from egalitarianism, just gets slightly overlapped by the quinine bubble lol
if it doesn't have quinine it isnt my anarchism :soviet-huff:
anarchists stay malaria free, sipping on gin and tonic rn :comfy-cool:
"Anarchism is egalitarianism without labor movement"
Syndicalists: Are we a joke to you?
I'm more offended by Pharmaceuticals and Nationalism not combining to produce Fascism.
This made me curious about what does "unlock" Fascism. It looks like it's the Political Agitation tech, which requires Anarchism, Socialism, and Pan-nationalism to be researched. Political Agitation raises the minimum expected standard of living for literate pops, and also unlocks the Outlawed Dissent law, and the Fascist political party
unlocks the Outlawed Dissent law
Ah, a thing that was invented in checks notes the 1930s.
God damn this game is lib-brained.
It's better than I expected in a lot of ways, but definitely not perfect lol, as evidenced by the research tree. The whole system of interest groups seems to work pretty well though. The way it effects and is effected by different material conditions in your country is pretty cool. Like where building up your industry moves pops from the peasant group to the laborer group, which in turn builds support for the trade union interest group, and increases demand for social and governmental changes, which can lead to a revolution if they reach a certain critical mass without being death with.
It kind of feels like they put in all their lib-brain stuff, but then had to fill in the blanks with a very watered-down version of historical materialism to make it all work properly lol
you need dialetics and a workers Movement for socialism
now check anarchism ..
It's implying anarchism lacks dialectics. Which is funny but not necessarily true (except when it is and then it's insufferable lib shit). It also implies that anarchism is divergent from any labor movement which is ahistorical.
It's also not that funny? As far as I know, anarchism isn't based on Hegel
How are you enjoying the game? Would you consider it worth picking up? I've gotten used to playing some other paradox games, but I've never delved into the EU or Victoria series.
