In the political aspect HOI3 and HOI4 are absolute opposites, each one terrible for their own reasons. The former because you cannot have an ideology switch at all unless you keep switching tags with the console to use espionage on yourself with another country and also maybe having a 2% chance to coup another country with espionage maxxed (which changes absolutely nothing historically, enjoy communist Romania joining Barbarossa on the side of Germany); the latter because politics is made of “press button to turn Japan into a proletarian dictatorship in 1937” and “choose decision to restore ridiculously anachronistic state”.

“A man’s ability may be great or small, but if he has this spirit [of selflessness], he is already noble-minded and pure, a man of moral integrity and above vulgar interests, a man who is of value to the people.”

Oh, the hours I must have spent playing HOI3. All I know for sure is that they are less than the ones I have spent learning how to play HOI3. Loved the combat and logisitics mechanics, hated the fact that there is little to no flavor in making a post-war Europe (the tags stay the same regardless of ideology, not even the flags change); HOI2 DH was the best in that aspect.
And then Bethesda turns around to develop another totally non-political Wolfenstein sequel.
As always, ‘too close to real-world politics’ is just an euphemism for ‘outside western liberalism’s Overton window’.

The average weight of a Chinese person (average between male and female) is of 64’3 kg, which multiplied by 850 million makes 54.655.000.000 kg. If one were to lift the weight of 850 million Chinese people in the form of 3-plate squats, one would have to do around 390 million reps.
Imagine those quads.

Ah sure, the brave and noble Finnish warriors would have never taken anything else other than what was theirs in 1939. The very righteous cause of Finland can be seen over the fact that they never engaged in any acts such as assisting in the slaughter of one million Soviet citizens or putting and starving Russians living in land that had always been Russian, most of them elderly and children, in concentration camps.

There is also this one:
“During the cold war, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. […] What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.” – Michael Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds
It is disappointing however that we have none from the great comrade Wisconson as we used to.
