Adding to that, what they call unity is just a demand for obedience. When they demand "unity" what they really mean is "shut up and toe the line or else".
You're playing Civilization against ai opponents. One has been an asshole for the past 60 turns. Denouncing your work, making demands of your economy, threatening to invade. Eventually they declare war. You crank out an army, start smashing their cities one by one. You have their final city under siege, knowing that the next turn will give you the attack to wipe them out completely. At the start of that turn, the diplomacy window opens. They offer a cease fire and 36 gold but the leader's avatar still looks pissed off.
This is where we're at. A condescending "We're willing to let you stop what you're about to do even though we deserve it."
It's weird in VI, the AI's have agendas and they usually follow them, if you're even strength and in line with their agenda they like you, if you're superior and against their agenda (or winning) they'll denounce you and do nothing. If you're weaker than them and they want your stuff, they'll declare.
I'd like to extend a "go fuck yourself, commie" cos they haven't won yet, I sincerely hope they don't either, gropey joe's proposed cabinet looks hella treasonous to me
If I take that branch will you agree to a massive reduction in immigration, an expansion in 1A and 2A protections, and massive taxes and tariffs on Chinese and other offshored labor?
No to all of the above?
Take that stick and shove it right up next to the one that's already there.
Good to know. I'd hate to be like MovieBlob and try to sound "smart" by describing something so obscurely that even people familiar with it aren't entirely sure what I'm talking about.
None of these "healing" requests ever include apologies for their atrocious behavior ... which is the only thing that might make "healing" possible.
Leftist translations:
Conversation = sit quietly while we lecture you
Healing = we won the election so stop fighting us

She can fuck off into the Pacific and keep fucking off until she hits China.
A dream come true if that happens!

Okay.

She must have gotten some new meds.
Why Alyssa, thank you for this bouquet of a hundred flowers! Campaign on!
(edit: I don't need to explain the joke, do I? I mean, I ripped it almost verbatim from our last heal-the-divide discussion.)
