Surely there won't be any negative consequences from arming, training and emboldening Ukrainian Nazis and then Stabbing Them in the Back™ because Israel needs money.

Idk, I've never gotten scratched while pulling my hand away, and the one time I did get scratched I didn't pull my hand away, since I didn't think she was about to scratch me.

True, but to me "Collectivism" is even more ridiculous than those because when applied to communists it refers to class struggle and when applied to fascists it refers to class collaborationism. These two things are literally the opposite! What the fuck liberals :agony-mescaline:

Rise of Nations lets you pick between "consensus" (Republic, Democracy and Capitalism :agony:) and "totalitarian" (Despotism, Monarchy and Socialism) governments, which give you different bonuses. This is how the game describes both:

"Consensus governments are dedicated to the economical and scientific development of a nation. Their Patriots offer production and defense bonuses and provide healing to nearby units and buildings."

"Totalitarian governments are devoted to military development and warfare, benefiting nations fielding lots of units and often waging wars. Their Patriots are oriented to offensive warfare and always give the benefits of a Supply Wagon (eliminate attrition and provide supply for artillery units)."
