Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

I'm also frustrated with this desire by HoI4 modders to have their mods decend into just clicking on focus trees while things happen automatically on the map. But to be fair, that's a symptom of a greater problem. Before Vicky 3 I would say HoI4 was the most dumbed down and casualized of Paradox's games. All you really do in vanilla is map paint. Maybe you play Germany or a smaller nation for a little challenge but the base game is just painfully dull with fuck all to do other than read focus tree stuff anyway.

Bring The War Home has dropped a small new teaser right before the end of January. Namely, they've reworked ideologies for the 3rd time:

This was the oldest ideology set, originally posted to r/BTWHmod in December of 2019.

Sometime in 2020-2021, 'Fascist' was changed to Fundamentalist and Libertarian Socialism got pushed to be the furthest-left ideology.

Long story short, I think these guys have manifested the purest vision of the American ideological spectrum as seen through glasses made of soy & Internet communism, combined with a complete and malicious misunderstanding of anyone to the right of Hubert Humphrey. Anarchists are worse than Stalinists/Maoists because they want to kill their enemies rather than brainwash them, Lyndon LaRouche and Elijah Muhammad share an ideological group, Liberals are the real Moderates (so I guess there's no such thing as a 'moderate conservative' to them), and the normie Conservatives are put on the same level as military dictators (the old Militarist ideology having been split between Conservative & Traditionalist, with the juntas falling in one category or the other depending on how racist they are) because to quote one of the devs directly, "Basically, wanting to keep or return America to a white and Christian supremacist republic dominated by a wealthy elite isn't radically changing what America is. That's what it's historically been and to a certain extent has always been."

Also, Reactionary doesn't actually mean 'reactionary' to the devs (even though its dictionary definition pretty much comes down to 'wanting to go back to how things were') but rather 'all the crazy evil genocidal nazis' with the objective of 'destroying the existing system and build a new one', which is why the Dixiecrats & KKK are classified as Traditionalist while CSAL, neo-Nazis and the like are now Reactionary in BTWH. Previously they would've been Fascist/Fundamentalist and the Dixiecrats/KKK were the Reactionaries, which made more sense.

That guy who got linked, btw? One look at his Wiki article tells me he's the first black guy to make the rank of four-star general in the US Armed Forces, despite having been born to poverty & being homeschooled by his mom in Florida, c. 1920 (the 'nadir of race relations'). He was fighter ace Robin Olds' second-in-command and helped the latter out during Operation Bolo, the biggest massacre of MiGs by the USAF during the Vietnam War. No doubt this man could've snapped both Fred Hampton & Huey Newton like twigs in a fight despite being twice their age & having heart problems which would eventually kill him before he turned 60.

Still some Internet commies dare call him a 'janissary' (that is, a brainwashed slave-soldier!) for the temerity of being a patriot, and presumably also because outright calling him a 'house nigger' would still get you banned from the BTWH server (they must still keep up appearances for other lefties, after all). Chalk this up to another case of the woke left really being no less racist than the KKK, just at least 50 times more condescending about it.

It unironically feels that way, tbh. James' Wiki article also mentions that he participated in the Freeman Field mutiny, a 1945 protest by black airmen for better treatment & an end to segregated officers' clubs (not actually an armed mutiny, the airmen just walked into a whites-only club and refused to leave when ordered, so they were put under arrest). So it's not even like he was a mindless bootlicker, he was plenty willing to break the rules and challenge authority (in a sensible, non-pointlessly-destructive manner!) when given a good enough reason, in the statement he delivered after the MLK riots he just denounced the younger generation of black activists for living down to the role of niggers and sacking their own neighborhoods in insanely destructive riots which have left scars or outright crippled those 'hoods to the present day because, well - how does any of that help? (Also being a patriot, he's obligated to ask where the fuck the likes of H. Rap Brown get off slandering the US of A when if they'd pulled their shit in one of their commie idols like Mao's China, they'd be struggle session'd into a breakdown or just literally eaten by a mob at the direction of the local political officer)

Ah, but if blacks actually managed to get their shit together, they'd be less receptive of race hustlers and commie fucks telling them to hate whitey, hate their country and chimp out against everything around them. They wouldn't be quite as eager to become the footsoldiers of the Revolution™, because why would they want to tear things down when they've become happy with the way things are and respect the Stars and Stripes, as Chappie James did? And commies of any stripe can't have that, they'd rather blacks remain feral, mindlessly destructive and easily manipulated niggers trapped in squalid conditions forever so as to remain more malleable and will go out of their way to slam any black person who rises above that squalor & advocates for productive change as another Uncle Tom, or 'janissary' in this case. If they don't just outright cheer for their death, as the ghouls also did for the murder of David Dorn during the 2020 Summer of Love.

Can't believe I missed this but holy fuck. Leftoids keep finding new woke ways to be racist every day.

It's my fault for expecting internet commies to respect anything. A lot of these people are built out of disdain for everyone and everything. the only reason they "care" for minorities is because they believe it will inflate their own self worth. If they truly cared they'd be hailing his success but of course not!!

TNO Italy team just announced they're cutting the Red Italy paths from 9 to 6. This decision was made months ago but announced now ? Weird but okay.

I wonder who the third mystery guy is. The leaked Red Italy doc had details for all potential leaders.

I don't get why they are even going all the way to 1930 though. There's already two World War I mods, what is the point?
