I was literally just pointing out that he's a dictator, but you like him. The satire part was specifically in reference to the assertion that he wasn't/isn't an autocrat which I find laughable. I wasn't and didn't comment on whether he was the best choice for the Mojave, or who was and a such I genuinely don't see the relevance of rehashing the sociopolitical context of the game.
Bud you need to work on your reading comprehension .I never said he wasn't a dictator. What are you going off on. What do you think an autocrat is?
I said the choice between two dictators and a corrupt democracy was the one dictator that bent strongly libertarian.
You said that he's not an authoritarian dictator. That assertion is laughable, and so patently untrue as to approach ironic satire. What else is there to comprehend? I really don't get where you're coming from here.
So instead of boisterous noise, could you try using words to impart meaning to your argument instead of barking like a dog.
You realize that political identities are more than left, right politics? There's an entire spectrum of libertarian to authoritarian
What argument? What the actual fuck are you talking about?
You have asserted my claim that house is a libertarian autocrat and not a authoritarian dictator is untrue yet provided nothing to back it up but deriding statements.
House is not an expansionist empire, he is not unyielding in power and control. The major reason the strip is fucked up is he gives the three families his vassals too much freedom and power to self govern. Everyone on the strip is an employee or a customer he doesn't have true subjects. He leaves them all to their own devices unless it impacts his master plan. House is an autocratic ruler his prepensidency to negotiate in most areas sets him apart from the likes of Caesar (Edward Sallow), or Elder Maxim, or the Overseer's of vaults, all dictators of one type or another but not the same beast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Chart
