While We Wait: Part 2

[silver 2039]

If das ever changes his avatar the end of the world is neigh.

 

[Abaddon]

a little horse silver?

Soviet Canuckistanis

Actually, that was Fascist Canada.

And it was the Civ III Bismarck unit, I think.

Anyway, the chances of me changing my avatar any time soon are slim.

 

[Dachs]

Actually, that was Fascist Canada.

But...it's Red...???

Oh well. I'll change mine tomorrow, along with a lot of other stuff.

The Nazis had a red, white and black flag, why's red odd? It's a common colour in many countries' flags.

 

[das]

Indeed; if anything, the main communist colour should be gold. Besides, could you imagine Canadian ultranationalists letting go of such a colour as red? It's as close to a national colour there as it could get, IMHO.

But the point is that it's always been red. Forever. You don't call commies "Golds", you call them "Reds".

The republicans are also Red.

 

[Dachs]

The republicans are also Red.

Which is hilarious. But you can't argue with a better-than-average Warren Beatty movie title.

I could if I knew what it was. But why can't fascists use red?

 

[das]

The mounties are also red. So is the blood of squashed separatists trampled by an eeeevil (tm) version of said mounties.

 

[Dachs]

I could if I knew what it was.

FTW.

I'm not saying that, I'm saying that Communists are usually denoted by a red color and that normally one connects fascism with merely sheer evil, not just sheer evil plus red as communists are.

well its easy to argue with that title, i've already made one (the republican thing) and making a filming about communists a much more clear title would be "communists" or "dirty commies" so its obvious what the film is about. reds could also mean liverpool supporters.

well you need to overcome such prejudice.

I'm sorry, you're right! I must have been blind all these years to always equate red with communism in my mind, just like everyone else. It is now the sole object of my life to always think of the color blue when Communism is mentioned.

 

[das]

I seem to recall an althist novel where the slang term for socialists was "the blues" (siniye). Actually, there probably was some historical background for that one too.

Red is simply a very popular colour.

I guess he's not the only one with a prejudice to overcome.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

In Canada, the Socialists are Orange.

 

[JosefStalinator]

The only colors any of us need to learn to love are red, white, and blue.

Oh I'm so enraged by that comment... (no offence meant to any americaners here)

Even though you are encouraging it by learning English and associating with us Americans? And probably making our cell phones too?

You crazy foreigners need to stop fighting it. There's alot worse countries that could be slowly trying to take over the world.
