Yep, whenever someone says this shit it's just a pretense for austerity.

This is just like how it'll be at the end times... me and miss page three.

I think pretty much all of Morrison's cape comics are great, though I wouldn't exactly say they're materialist or anything.

The one on the left reminds of Leo Dicaprio, for some reason.

You know, they call them fingers, but I ain't ever seen 'em fing...

Oh, there they go.

I really can't agree with that, it's just so clearly setting up a sequel that I'd be really disappointed if we never get a proper one.

Ironically, I got radicalised by a book written by a Milquetoast centrist, Capital In The 21st Century.

It's essentially a capitalist thinking through the fundamental implications of capitalism, especially that the market demands that the rate of return must be higher than the rate off growth. Piketty goes through the history of the 20th century and how the post-war boom came about, and how it's equality was dismantled in the eighties in order to fuel greater returns.

Then he comes up with his policy recommendations, and it's.... a wealth tax. Which you know, I'm not opposed to, but the idea that's going to have the same sort of impact as the creation of the welfare state and WW2 is insane. Never mind that there's nothing in place to prevent the rise of austerity again. At that point I knew the only way to proceed was to dismantle the capital class in it's entirety.

How are Owls doing in the future?

Living in a heavily industrialised/post-industrial nation is better than living in medieval pastoralism.

It's not even original, it's just Horseshoe theory with a lot of extra crap.

No, the worst part is the damn ads,

I'd mostly agree with this, with the exception of the capital, you want it in Moscow for that sweet MAPI bonus. Also, be aware that, as a country with serfdom, low literacy and little unemployment, you actually might have trouble getting people into factories. The main culprit is Serfdom, but you can also mitigate it by building in areas that already have large non-peasant populations and by increasing literacy.

You can also get a little bit of iron construction up right away, thanks to the 16 iron mines you start off with.

There's also an exploit you can use if you have Voice of the People. Have the Tsar abdicate, have the new guy become a general, fire all over Landowner generals, then exile your Landowner head. You'll get your new Tsar as the landowner leader, and he's a Market Liberal, so it's trivial to switch to Homesteading/Laissez Faire/Free Trade.

That still leaves the question of how she's "burnt and bodiless" when she later burns her body at the Giant's Kiln.

Kind of, it's probably as complex as Vanilla Eu4, IF you include all the DLCs.

You can also just a lot of things to be automatic, so a lot of the complexity is optional.

Play Eu4, but only with MEIOU 3.0, it's a much more material version of the game.

Didn't they jump on the Maupin wagon just minutes after his sex crimes were revealed?

If Trains were invented today, they'd be really useful, because we wouldn't have invented Cars either.
