Wow a person mentioned something about Warhammer and a European was insulted merely at the mention lol. I'm incredibly shocked.

Politics have no place in any fiction genre, spoilsport. Sorry

"One final solution for each minority" it's almost like that one power metal song...

okay. i'll take your thumbnail bait. instead of evil king vs good king it's going to be evil democracy vs good king.

Russia borders 4 NATO states (Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia) with mainland and 2 more NATO states (Lithuania and Poland) through Kaliningrad region and Belarus. Ukraine, besides that, borders another 3 NATO states (Slovakia, Hungary and Romania), and Georgia borders Turkey (also a NATO state). If by Connor's logic Russia is afraid o NATO, they should seek to border as least NATO states as possible. If Ukraine joins NATO, Russia will border not 6, but 7 NATO states. If Russia annexes Ukraine, it will border 9 NATO states. Also, Georgia is the least strategic country to potentially attack Russia. Its massive row of mountains makes it incredibly hard to attack. Why not invade through Estonia, or Finland, or Poland? Also, Connor is a massive propagandist. He is now telling the west that US should cut their financial support towards Ukraine because Russia is too powerful and cannot be stopped. When asked during this debate, he said Russia was afraid of the massive invasion and was a total victim of the situation. His hypocrisy is unbelievable. Correction: at the moment of the recording, Finland was not a member of NATO yet. Would it make sense for Russia to invade Finland instead to prevent their NATO membership?

From what I've learnt from Star Wars. Politics is FUCKING boring dude atleast when it's handled poorly. Maybe people just wanna write a fun book or a fun TV show and haven't thought about the GRAND SCHEMES of the Empire of "Will never show up or matter in the fucking story."

Justus and Connor are so annoying and primitive thinking. They don't seem to draw any conclusions from the history, don't have any respect towards other discussion members and don't seem to have any logical or critical thinking skills. They don't know and/or don't understand the history of USSR and post-USSR states, Kosovo and other states in question. They dodge the simplest questions and make unrelated arguments. I've seen it so, so, so many times, it's disgusting that people still deny logic and think like that. Their arguments are so bad they could be seen as anti-russian propaganda. Their entire argument is "war is bad but we'll do it anyway because reasons". Also, Adam was right they would play victims. No sign of intelligent life anywhere.

This isn't even that bad. You have a sidewalk wich you can ride on most of the time, yea its a bit tight near the beging of the video, but then it's fine.

priceless

Bread tuber teir whining

Imagine if it didnt explode and a Russian found "Subscribe to ..."

I see the point here, but I think we forget that the origins of fantasy have their base in mythos, not realism. The use of monarchies and dark lords make for vessels in discerning moral conflict as allegory. Take Tolkien, for example. His stories were about the triumph of general goodness and honor over great evil, and the world reflects that. Not all fantasy needs politics or anti-heroes to be interesting, though they have their place too.

I feel like you haven’t read any fantasy that came out after 2000

Spire. Heart. The Wildsea. Eat the Reich. Games are finally growing up...

How do you feel knowing it may have killed peapole.. do you have remorse or that's fine (cuz i consider doing that but im scared of what may happen

Just dont write fantasy at some point

Kraut talking to Adam Is like a human talking to a gorilla. One is someone which has a an actual approach to geo politics and is well versed in the history and provides balanced prospectives even when he doesn’t agree with them. Adam is an actual cry baby which only has the intellectual capability to say “hey America more lanes bad” and “hey Saudi , line city bad” kraut is wasting his time with this idiot lmao

Hasan is making a fool out of his audience and himself.

Some people like fantasy that it is very black and white because the real world is complicated enough already. Others like it for other reasons. The former group probably doesn't want complicated, "realistic" or immersive politics. They just want a good guy to cheer on and a bad guy to hate.

"What is the politics of Gondor?" You are not suppose to take stupid pills before writing or creating a video.

Getting oast the fact kingdoms wanting to just hold justice is actualy realistic to most monsrchies if want minarchy thats messy and filled political crap britain is best example after the barons wars england created a democracy under its monsrchy the hybrid system tjats still alive today its result Genicide colonialism and political infighting perfect for what u asking for

Your crigicism isnt even story their at end monarchies raise leaders who care for the people and dont want to play politics with peoples lives a monarch is subject to their own people a monarch is raised to rule to know if they make a bad decition people die A democratic politician is born decidd i want power and lies their way to the top democracies create two types leaders spinless cowards who only made it so far by being liked and sociopaths who wikk risk the desth of millions to push their own ideology

monarchies do tend be more stable than other systems even the founding fathers outright stated 99% of democracies go bad The kinds people who run to lead a democracy want power or have a goal they dont care for people they have a ideology or a cult backing them they are not good leaders democrscies encurage sociopaths to take power

The kill king causes anarchy is a american persoective of monsrchism As a brit who studied history i can honestly say o dont trust americans to write any sort poliyical system that isnt the democracy they have such a hard on for

While yea tolkien cant be criticised for not being subversive honestly it ient even saturation with me i just dont lioe overly black and white stories they were fun when i was five but by high school i just hated that style of story telling

If I wrote a fantasy story I would not invest that much time into developing politics because I would want to write an adventurous story. And for that there isn't a need for a deep dive into politics. Why should be? However a book series called "Game of Thrones" that would have a shallow view on politics would feel like a scam. So different stories have different kinds of focus. I think, what makes a story good, is tension and you can have that already on a personal level. No need to call someone a "baby brain", because politics is left out. Insertion of politics can also be misused to validate your own views and discredit others. So, before you implement it badly, write only about what is absolutely necessary.

It's silly to me how he accuses Adam of being racist against Turks when he's clearly poking fun at Americans if anything.

Author A: Only writes monarchies because he can't think of other government systems. Author B: "I think they're neat."

This video is pure stereotype, ignorance and stupidity. It is like you read literally three fantasy books

if gm was honest:

There is one glaring obvious fact that this video is ignoring is that Tolkien’s stories are not a political intrigue story like the Witcher. It’s an adventure story where war is on their doorstep. Why would you have plot lines about factions when the main point is to destroy the ring and fight this evil that has started the war? A complex political plot is not necessary to a story if it doesn’t need it. Tolkien’s politics work with the story because it’s not about politics. I know his works sound like tropes because he was a pioneer that literally was copied by many after him. It doesn’t make sense to compare two different types of stories. Instead it would make sense to compare the Witcher to stories like Game of Thrones or Dune that focus more on politics and not adventure. Maybe look for fantasy political intrigue stories to solve this problem and not fantasy adventure.

Destiny's mouth/ jaw is on methfire 😂

Adam, why are you taking all the protagonism that your cat deserves. We are here to watch your cat watch Netflix, not to get obsessed on how incredibly hot u are

For some reason there is no multiple kingdoms created by same race.One race can't have multiple countries in most of fantasies and usually don't fight eachother.

I'm in the process of writing a political fantasy novel. There is a monarchy, but there are political parties too. I love pushing the boundaries of the genre.

He's just another European supremacist trying to find faults in others people's lives while. He can't even get attention of people without talking about USA

Local adult man learns that not all of his yellow-colored tiny plastic toy soldiers have imaginary penises, promptly loses his mind

lol I always asked myselff how the face from Adam Something look. Now I know and thats a good thing I guess

I gotchu bro

To be fair, when this movie was made, It was the US democratic party that was doing this shit. The "inversion," as I like to call it, happened in the 90s

It is telling that GW rewrites the entire backstory of Necrons, brings back Squats (Votann) entirely back from being dead, yet somehow womem Custodes are the hill to die on lol.

Dude, not illegally driving on the sidewalk is like refusing to hold onto debris when on a sinking ship...
