Thats kind of the point, they’re so (deliberately) underfunded they have to farm out jobs to subcontractors which boil down to “vigilante goes to place, murders a bunch of people”.

Yeah my first run (Reformist but lost the war) I funded Health and Education thinking I would get prompted for a new budget annually and initial investments there would pay off Keynesian-style.

But funding Law Enforcement is actually extremely important if you intend to

Which I did to a maximalist extent in my second, successful run.

Lmao you went Dictator, defunded the military, joined CSP, didnt promote Lucian, and didn’t form the Anti-Corruption Police, didn’t you?

I’m pretty sure thats the route you have to take to alienate literally everyone in the cabinet and have every possible bid to overthrow you go off.

You mean the police procedural, right?

Because classic mystery stories focus way more on what actually solves murders - detective grunt work like alibis, motives, timelines, etc

Picture after this was told to the Coal Mining Enjoyer:gigachad:

Anyone on this site who genuinely believes Vladimir Putin does “anti-imperialism” out of any motive other than supremely cynical, convenient, competing imperialist interest seriously needs to re-evaluate their stances and sources. Or, otherwise, go join the fucking Maupinite/Hazite clowns who are basically doing the most cringe reactionary shit imaginable, because they are your people.

I say this as someone who has for a while tried to stay out of the dogmatic factionalist bullshit in favor of just shitposting when it comes to this site. If you’ve been suckered into believing a siloviki-dominated hyper-capitalist kleptocracy like Russia is a genuine force for “anti-imperialism”, you’ve been fucking had in the worst way possible. Even the most mindless simping for modern Dengist China has a more rational basis.

I mean real talk I suspect the two leads are animated using some measure of rotoscoping or motion capture and that’s the main reason for it

Also funny thing about this, the real message of the film is about why all forms of public transportation are bad, so yes this is one of the most lib films ever

No they’re not named. But what it does explicitly state is that the discontent against the noble Romanovs was literally fermented by demons, and the male lead in one of the palace servants and helps her and her mother escape. Then in the next scene the opening musical number is the people of St Petersburg Petrograd Leningrad singing and dancing in the streets at the rumor that a Romanov princess survived, and they quickly shut up when a commissar (hammer and sickle on his cap) looks at them angrily.

I also have to say, it’s a really strange choice that the two leads (and members of the royal family) are the only characters designed to look like real uncanny people, and everyone else looks like a caricature.

CPRF stop being shit ass nationalists debasing a corpse challenge (Difficulty: Impossible)

The satire of ideologies in DE is genuinely some of the most biting satire in that regard anywhere. The satire of communism hits particularly hard because it comes from a place of real experience and affection.
