Well, they're probably killed if they refuse the order. And more importantly even, their family and relatives are probably threatened too.

They're dead the moment they sign for the job. And they probably discover it rather fast.

Horse archers, or skirmishing units in general, are countered by archers or siege units. Unless the game is wildly unbalanced it always works.

One exception to it : fascists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it's good for them too.

You might as well warn about the sun eating the earth and turning it into hell. It's not too soon, only 5 billion years left.

And yet 2 centuries ago some people were already thinking, exactly like you, that there was too many humans for the earth to sustain them. You can see how wrong he was. The fact that you refuse to learn from past mistakes is quite telling though.

You know who thought like you? Thomas Malthus. 2 centuries ago.

No nuclear accident has the ability to end life on earth. It is not a possibility.

And humans in the past would regularly suffer from famine and epidemic, and child death was crazy (as was mother death during birth).

You probably missed the part were current AI are reproducing inequalities already.

Meanwhile middle age fantasy had black knights and it was fine.

Racists are gonna be racists is all there is.

No, a language is not just a language. I fact, it's a bunch of compilers. How many there are and the hardware they work on is what matters.

And as a matter of fact, rust isn't as much of an industry standard as C++ is.

It makes it more dangerous : the sting is attach to the venom bag, so the venom bag gets to empty itself whole if it stays. Evolution would have chosen the survival of the hive, not the survival of the bee.

One thing is weird though : you can extract the sting of a wasp with a pincer. The wasp will live through it. Why do the bee dies when it loses it's sting and not the wasp?

Your mistake is to consider an election is a rational competition. It's not. Not anymore, because medias make it impossible to know the truth. So it is more like a football match. People have the team they support, and for most nothing will change their mind because there's too much propaganda. When almost everything is propaganda, you get to choose the reality you "prefer".

So the point of the campaign is more about convincing people to vote in order to defeat the opposing team. Or to persuade the other team to concede.
