    distinction between historically-common conscript armies and modern professionalized militaries

    parts of the professional noble officer corps of the tsarist army ended up in the reds' camp. there's absolutely no time for looking gift horses in the mouth in wartime (keep a commissar on their ass though). until there's a war on though---we can have a little harrassing troops, as a treat

      Yeah people are forgetting that isn't fucking WWII. Everyone is just posting on a fucking website. You can talk to me about overlooking supposedly changed imperialists' history when bullets and bombs are flying. Tired of this larping shit.

      Same with the whole "you don't get to choose who's your anti war allies" red/brown bullshit. This isn't 1993 Russia. We're not communists and monarchists fighting side by side to overthrow the neoliberal state. We're not Soviets trying to buy more time by making deals with Nazis. We're not Chinese communists working with the KMT to defeat the Japanese. Until then, don't tell me I need to look at these fucks in the eye and say "you're forgiven, i 100% trust you" after they've done nothing to convince me
