When the evil protagonist turns to the camera and says “I’m the evil protagonist” but the audience goes “Hell yeah, women suck.”

In the "everyone is an asshole" universe, Bretonnia oppressing its peasants isn't actually that bad by comparison.

Every interview with a right-wing politician is like: "Mr. Hitler is adamant: If we sacrifice enough children, Santa Claus will come back and deliver 5% GDP growth. But I have to ask him: Do you ever worry that your relentless advocacy for working folks offends the rootless cosmopolitan parasites?"

OK, so for the next few hours, I will be answering questions on Reddit's AskHistorians forum about my new book -- feel free to pop over there if you are so inclined! reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

"You have not written a satire of fascism, you have written a gonzo story with cool fascist aesthetics that the CHUDs will love" is a message that applies to 95% of "satire of fascism" media.

The simplest lesson one can draw about the rise of fascism in the 20th century is this:

Take people who openly state their intention to do great evil at their word. You can't afford to be dismissive on the off-chance it is bluster or hyperbole.

It's really impressive what a failure the Biden admin was by not tackling these people as the existential threat to society globally that they are.

Less than a year in and foreign policy is just variations on 4chan Great Replacement posts.

OK, yes, this abandoned station where I take my train is spooky, but have you considered that there are a dozen fat cats that provide protection?

This is just the 14 Words but slightly longer. What the fuck are we doing here, man. How the hell did we allow this to happen? Why did my fellow citizens think electing this guy was okay?

You aren’t going to believe this. But there’s an important distinction between detaining someone as a law enforcement action in an interdiction and summarily killing them.

going to war with venezuela would be stupid and evil and also i think allying with russian stooges and weird cults is not a good way to make that point

That was never on the table, but they did scrap a WWI TW, which was pretty tragic.

Oh, it was a big hit. They’re just--how to put it nicely--kind of dumb.

Are you one of the manic depressives who is still holding out for more Three Kingdoms content? My condolences.

I’m surprised they’re committing resources to it, given that they’re simultaneously working on another large TW game. No prizes for guessing what it is.

Most sub‑par releases occurred when they tackled several large projects, leaving neither team with the necessary budget and time.

Yep, Medieval III is happening. It wasn't really greenlit as such while I was still with the company, but they were playing around with some concept art and ideas as far back as 2022.

"The Most Awful Responsibility" My new book on Truman and the bomb will be released next week

So, hey, my new book on Truman and the Bomb comes out NEXT WEEK! In this post on Doomsday Machines, I give a rundown of WHAT IT IS ABOUT, and other useful information, including the talk I am giving about it on December 16. doomsdaymachines.net/p/the-most-a...

Bully them into agreeing to the dismemberment of their country so that we can strike business deals with the enemy is apparently not US foreign policy right now.

I must be hallucinating our current reality, where the US betrays Ukraine daily.

I can't wait for everyone to sound like this after a few more years of being hooked up to the slop generators 24/7.

It seems like in each age we are doomed to have a Guy who rises to 'intellectual' prominence simply on the thesis that "the people with wealth and power are actually better and deserve wealth and power" and yet Curtis Yarvin is somehow the dumbest of these guys yet to have arrived.
