Greetings. I am looking for strategy games, preferably grand strategy, that will help hone my political abilities and train me for my future career in politics. I am looking for accurate simulations that allow access to all policies, do not enforce socialism as the default winning strategy (all Paradox games are excluded here), and do not have alt history rubbish like Latvia forming the Kurgan Empire or whatever. Just pure strategy, that will sort strong politics from weak.Thank you for your suggestions.
>I am looking for accurate simulations>do not enforce socialism as the default winning strategyYou can't have it both ways brother.
>>2316284No video game simulates politics with anything even approaching any level of applicability to real life>>2316293this is true Victoria 3 is the ultimate arbiter of geopolitical truth and the USSR is the current global hegemon
>>2316284>>2316317>No video game simulates politics with anything even approaching any level of applicability to real lifeThis is 100% correct! Video games are just extremely simplified and extremely predictable mathematical models you can manipulate for entertainment.IRL Politics is complicated, chaotic, unreliable, and unpredictable it is almost the exact opposite of games. Furthermore IRL politics you have to deal with real life people, lots of people, deal with lots of people on a daily basis all day every day. In video games you do not deal with IRL people at all. If you want to get into politics you gotta learn to deal with people.Video games are almost the exact antithesis of what you are looking for friendo.

Greetings! I am looking for children's television programming, preferably cartoons, that will help me hone my emotional intelligemce and train me for my future relationships with the opposite sex. I am looking for relevant lessons that will allow approaches to all types of relationships, do not force equality as the default winning strategy (all iterations of MLP are excluded here), and do not have non-traditional rubbish like women being as capable as men or whatever. Just pure dating strategy, that will sort strong players from the weak.
>>2316284>>2316375seems like you two are vying for the biggest faggot of the week award
>>2316284Geopolitical simulator is by far the best political simulation, but is unplayable because of various game breaking bugs and the graphics and ui are stuck in the 90s
>>2316284Among Us unironically.
>>2316284Openfront.>But accurate simulationYou are mistaking ideology with politics, which is no different from having a certain username to game other players preconceived notion.
>>2316284CK2 with secret societies enabled.
>>2316284>do not enforce socialism as the default winning strategy (all Paradox games are excluded here)no paradox game does this tough you fucking retardin fact the main lesson thier games promote is simply "might makes right"
>>2316284I know this is bait but for a future career in politics in this day and age, unironically Foxhole. If you can't machiavelli your way to the top of a tranny clan then you are never going to make it in politics IRL.Alternatively Suzerain is all right as a visual novel with light strategy elements showing how the sausage is made in politics
>>2316284You faggot. If you want to learn politics, scoop the pozzed neo-nazi jew semen out of your asshole and pick up a fucking book.
>>2316284Seems like Diplomacy series is exactly what you are looking.
>>2316284Aight step oneStop playing video games.
>>2316284Daily reminder you must be 18 to use this site
>>2316284>do not enforce socialism as the default winning strategy (all Paradox games are excluded here)Weak bait, neoliberal fascist technocracy has been meta for ages now
>>2316637this, or Rust if you wan to simulate unironic gang simulation and poltics
>>2316284Fucking larper politics is about lying to people. Learn to be more narcissistic. Read Stirner.
>>2316499>>2316403These two and also pick up Democracy 3 or Battle for Wesnoth
>>2316990Also old school runescape to pick up a sense of economics and banking management, it will help you learn how to understand ordinary scams and will make you more prepared for life>>2316934TF2 to view how ordinary people behave

>>2316590>no paradox game does thisVictoria 2: Capitalists in the late game have so much money that they have nothing left to invest in so the only way to make their wealth productive is to tax it (even implying that you can just tax billionaires is funny af). Education and healthcare doesn't work unless the state institutes it.Victoria 3: Wages never go up past a certain point unless you pass socialist laws. Again, the government can just choose to tax the super rich and redistribute their wealth. Other countries don't ever think its unfair that another state appropriates their investments, they never react.EU4: Yea I guess this one doesn't promote reddit gay communism since the game has 0 economic or political gameplay.EU5: Nothing in this game happens without state interference. There even is a "tax efficiency" modifier that multiplies state tax income. Profit generated in locations with 0 state control gets straight up deleted.HoI4: The US has a national focus called "guarantee the american dream" that you can just click on, and it just happens. I wonder why my country isn't passing state issued american dream irl.
>>2316375Naruto. Although its pretty dull but it has what you asked for. Naruto gets ignored by hot stacy (Sakura) so he self improves to become chad by the end but he picks a trad girl who knows when to shut up (Hinata).
Join an MMO and try join a large scale guild/raiding team/faction/whatever. Rise the ranks from a lowly grunt to a serious contender. Take on responsibilities and leadership/management roles. By the time you get to the top you don't even need to be playing the game.
>>2316284I can actually answer this QPlay Hidden Agenda, one of the greatest games ever made. It is for DOS but there are websites that just host DOS games these days. You run a Latin American country during the 1980s (when the game was made). Your goal is ostensibly to bring the country safely to democracy, but - instead - try to figure out what the Hidden Agenda is and enact it.The game lets you be socialist or capitalist, but socialism is much harder and you, at best, end up like Cuba and in mega debt.
>>2320882>Education and healthcare doesn't work unless the state institutes ittrue thoughbeit
>>2321043which is why anyone who can afford it goes to private practice
>>2316284You could try out the various iterations of the political machine. Its not as flashy or theatrical as grand strategy games but its a lot closer to the reality of what it takes to become an elected official. How to sway voters, how to manage coalition, how to raise and distribute campaign funds, how to game the system using gerrymandering and the electoral college.You know things that actually help you get elected.
>>2321141>anyone who can afford a Lamborghini buys one>and thats why poor people dont deserve to driveBrilliant argument Socrates. I hope you or a loved one of yours never gets cancer and goes into medical bankruptcy trying desperately to stay alive. But then again people like you always think thats something that only happens to the other guy. Im sure you are going to be perfectly healthy forever.
>>2316284Dominions is good for this as you're playing with other humans that are looking out for themselves in the long term as there can only be one winner, but you can use diplomacy to try to influence things in your favor.
>>2320888Uhm, actually, I asked for real cartoons with real animation, not some oriental slideshows masquerading as animated shows. Blocked and reported.
>>2321497Korea has been animating all our cartoons for decades
>>2316760Came here to say this. Diplomacy and social manipulation games like Werewolf/Town of Salem/Among Us are the best tests of negotiation and political acumen I've ever seen.
there is a real life game like you meet in person the game is you pretend to be a ambassador and negotiate with other fake ambassadors lying and bluffing just like in real politics #EatTheRich literally

I want exactly the opposite Tell me everything I need to read, train, exercise, practice, participate, get into, whatever; to maximise my gains in strategy, politics, diplomacy, war, management, economy, etc.I want to learn and be capable in everything RTS, grand strategy, 4x, etc. says they emulate and improve, but not play the games ever again.Just reading won't cut it. You need to train your brain to solve stuff and get through shit while keeping enemies down.
>wants out
>>2316284Diplomacy is a good one. Based on trust and building rapport with other players to achieve victory.
>>2321208rich people don't daily drive Lamborghinis, dipshit. false equivalence. it's physical investment like a fancy painting as far as they're concerned.
>>2320906Holy fuck this is exactly what I did.>realize that most guilds lack basic political structure and standard operating procedures.>or if they do its vague and inefficient>so I create explicit structures and systems, everything is spelled out>dont like it? then leave, cunt>begin recruiting, and also poaching from poorly organized guilds>my guild becomes wildly successful>people like strong leadership with sensible rules>enables them to get the biggest gains and enjoyment>people begging to be let in because we function so well>become too big so I begin leadership mentoring and split up into several new guilds, each with a new leader loyal to me>have systems in place to ensure loyalty>introduce a government lead by guild leaders>they now have some say in how things are run, with me exercising right of veto>set up unique political system that guarantees maximum individual player freedom while keeping mavericks in check>basically write a fucking constitution and legal system outlining exactly what to do in any situation, how to cooperate, how to resolve conflicts, how to deal with troublemakers>allow small differences to build up between guilds but still united as parts of an Empire.>end up with an Empire of many guilds all linked with a common cause, the same internal structures, the same procedures, the same laws>too busy with guild politics to actually play the game anymore>at this point I am so remote from the Empire's members that most have only heard of me through others.>my "Empire" now dominates the game>but now I have achieved everything I set out to do>gets boring, nothing left to do>too much busy work now>so I engineer a civil war and leave them to it>fucking chaos ensues, lol>surprisingly though they eventually get through it and remain mostly intact, but stop expanding anymore.>holy fuck I created a political system so resilient even I couldn't destroy it>my name is still cursed to this day.It was fun.
