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

TNO opsec (HOI4 modding is a serious business) scores another point, but what's to expect if they can't (or don't want to?) get rid of one individual that's openly been a pain in their collective ass for like at least 2 and a half years?

He tried to gayop the local gayoppers on here, thats it.
Consistently was made fun of attempting.

John is former moderation lead, lardass whale, weeb and vtuber creep from 'straya who came crying here when he got kicked off the team for being a retarded weaboo.

I don't think it's necessarily that you get him the 80s but he's a path for the soviet union when you purge Beria and Stalin dies.

Personally, my shot-in-the-dark hope is they take inspiration from Ostalgie: The Berlin Wall and give East Germany a chance to not only remain separate from West Germany and thus prevent the 1990 Reunification, but also gain independence from the USSR at any point in the Cold War provided the DDR becomes strong enough, and maybe even become the new leader of what remains of the Socialist world in the event the USSR collapses.

I just feel like East Germany has so much potential post-1990 for a good alt-history scenario. Mechanics-wise, East Germany might be "weaker" than West Germany due to not having a Marshal Plan for quick growth in the 1950s, and fewer overall provinces to build up (even if Daddy Stalin gives you Polish territory), but every time I've played East Germany, I'm strong enough to stand on my own by 1978 or so. I'm completely resource independent, I have a GDP of around $200 billion, I have one of the strongest militaries in Europe and do not need to import military hardware, and I also have the possibility of becoming a nuclear-armed power.

I'm just saying, East Germany should get some reworked content to allow for it to either take over the reigns from a collapsing USSR, or break free entirely and become an independent Socialist nation. Unlike most of the Warsaw Pact nations, East Germany is definitely strong enough to do it.

So East Germany going down the North Korea route? Interesting, do you think East Germany could have embrace something similar to Juche?

I wouldn't put it quite that way, more like East Germany becoming a smaller version of the USSR. I don't see them embracing something like Juche, I'd see the SED adopting limited reforms to quell unrest and allow the economy to stretch its legs with some small free-market reforms while still remaining a very Marxist-Leninist country.

I think other things that would go in East Germany's favor are the facts it can have a nuclear arsenal (Suhl has, with no modifiers, 6 Nuclear Material), that in the 1980s it became a Semi-Recognized State by the United Nations while also opening up somewhat to the Western World, that East Germany was also the 2nd biggest and most developed economy in the Pact, and that East Germany never actually got involved in any armed conflicts during the Cold War.

With the collapse of the USSR, some minor reforms to roll back some of the more overtly repressive parts of society, active attempts at warming relations with the West, and getting a nuclear arsenal built to deter NATO militarily, East Germany would likely be seen in a much more positive light by the international community.
It'd be much harder to justify a "peacekeeping mission" against the DDR when the DDR's not actively antagonizing the West and liberalizing to some degree.
