if i start doing this how much time will it take out of my day

Really depends on how active you want to be.

If you're involved in a big alliance or major world development, you'll probably end up spending 45-15 minutes a day managing your nation, probably more coordinating with your alliance members and stuff.

If you're in a small alliance/not really involved in world affairs, maybe 10-5 minutes a day.

Turns end every day at 12 AM and 12PM CST.

If anybody would do me a favor and sell lend me weapons, that'd be really swell.

Hell, all I need to do is borrow weapons for a war. I'll, give them back to you, and pay interest on them. Think of it as being lend lease.

But remember, it wasn't only racial purity that made them power-hungry. It was the desire to control, to dominate. I still fail to see your logic. It's not to say that they joined to promote and realize racial purity. I see how, technically, the military was under the control of the government, which the national socialist party happened to have control of. However, that does not automatically make each individual tribal, because the point of the military is to better and defend the country, not necessarily to realize an agenda. Take it from the guy who was there.

The guy... who was part of the SS, you mean? The Waffen SS. The German SS. The military arm of the national socialist political party. The person who has the most potential to be biased or otherwise irrationally hostile, tribal, or despotic.

Yeah, no.

I'd also like to point out that nobody (no German anyways) was drafted into the SS before 1943.

At least I know that "you are a idiot" is not proper English, it should be "you are an idiot". Also I could give you lists of dozens of attempted attacks (mainly in NYC) which were prevented because of these programs designed specifically for social media.

please. enlighten me.

if there's one thing you can count on, though, it's for the forums to run a fad into the ground nearly a week later. it happened with fsjal, it happened with brainslugs, it's gonna happen here. can't wait for it to happen, fads are stupid anyways.

gee that hasn't happened before

that totally makes it funny

like, at the same time i know nobody cares and that nothing will change anything

but a lot of this stuff just isn't funny. where's the humor in calling somebody handicapped. at least go through some effort to make it clever or funny or witty or something.

How do you know that? If it weren't for counter intelligence practices, many attacks wouldn't of been prevented.

your logic is loving awful and you should be ashamed of it.

by your same logic, the counter intelligence practices may not have found anything. no further justification of qualification. if you're arguing with no evidence, you are a I D I O T.

So you wouldn't be concerned if some radical were to blow up an American landmark?

you"re not even trying. stop fearmongering.

Yes, and that order made him a war criminal, according to his Wikipedia biography page. Again, there is a difference between what the orders were and what the soldiers believed. You're practically saying, "one guy gave the order, therefore most national socialists were tribal." That logic doesn't really work. Again, we're not talking about what the soldiers were told, and what they believed. Therefore, the rest of your argument is irrelevant in this case.

it's not what they believed, it's that "protecting germany" in the way national socialist propaganda explained it is inherently tribal. if they, as you say, joined out a sense of protecting their country, and if "protecting their country" as espoused by the national socialist was inherently tribal, wouldn't that make the soldiers tribal? sure, you could say that the soldiers were ignorant/didn't regard poles, russians, jews, or the myriad other groups the massacred human, but that doesn't mean they aren't tribal.

Of course that is not to say that no soldiers were tribal. There were those that actually believed the Jews were a problem, but as someone earlier said, the youth that signed up to fight were attracted by their sense of German nationalism that the army provided, not necessarily racism. Chances are, he signed up not to exterminate the Jews, but to defend his country.

the two are one and the same. national socialist doctrine said that jews and bolsheviks were the ones who were attacking germany, and as von reichenau said,

"The most important objective of this campaign against the Jewish-Bolshevik system is the complete destruction of its sources of power and the extermination of the Asiatic influence in European civilization."

this was an official order from the top general on the eastern front. there's no way that it could be taken any other way (because it's a loving military order, lol). sure, unofficially german soldiers may not be convinced of this ideology. but officially, they were obliged to through explicit military orders that used racism and anti-semitism as justification.
