Charlie Manson Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) If you arent really communist than why do you have a communist alliance? 'Cause it's a bloody simulation game! I'm not really a king when I choose monarchy for my governemnt. I'm not really buddhist when I choose Buddhism for my national religion. I don't really use franks or roubles or pounds. I'm a libertarian in real life, but that didn't stop me from joining that fascist nordreich alliance a while back (EDIT: on a different nation)! I am simulating because I am playing a freakin' simulation game, for chrissakes! Lol. Sorry if I seem a bit angry; other events in my life aren't so chipper, so I have to take 'em out on you. roflmao.

Charlie Manson Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) BTW, Andrew, your Soviet propaganda pics are FTW! Especially that futuristic Soviet one. It's just t!ts. Edited May 9, 2008 by Charlie Manson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Its retarded. Some people might be offended. Hence why I am here, watching this mockery. This "silly but fun alliance" is not stereotyping communism, it's stereotyping Russians based on yanky Cold War propaganda. The "In Soviet Russia" jokes imply Russia being a backwards country. I am offended by those jokes, I am offended by this alliances existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this statement I am uessing you are as offended as I am seeing the great Russian Carrier Kiev be sold to China after the Cold War and then be turned into an amusement park by the Chinese. And you call this a mockery. However, that being said, I do agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you call this a mockery. Well I was referring to CN, not real world, in the real world I find lots of things to be a mockery, including the matter which you mentioned. CN wise, this alliance is the biggest mockery, that offends me personally, I seen yet. Edited May 9, 2008 by Silent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have to be a complete fool to actually believe these stereotypes are true, wouldn't they though? Hell, anyone could go to Wikipedia right now and see that Russia is far from backwards. If anything, it's on track to become a potential superpower again. Edited May 9, 2008 by Darth Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, anyone could go to Wikipedia right now and see that Russia is far from backwards. If anything, it's on track to become a potential superpower again. Wikipedia also says Czar Ivan the IV (his title misleadingly translated as "The Terrible") was a bloodthirsty savage who used Oprichnina to kill innocent people. Wikipedia is not the proper source for political and historical information. And stereotypes don't work directly, that is not their design, they influence a person on a different, none-direct level, and regardless, if people believe them or not, I still find it offensive.

Dr Kshatriya Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I must say that I understand Silent on this issue. What is the purpose of creating an alliance with a theme based on stereotyping and mockery of an entire RL nation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Nationality are you? Guess when black people get offended at the word !@#$%*, they are just bored. How about you make an alliance stereotyping black people? I don't think that will go well. So don't be surprised if I would introduce your face to my fist in real life, if that was possible, if you keep insisting on this being fine - I am just bored.
