With me it seemed to be something she had resolved a while before she told me about it. It's complicated because she constantly switched between friendly and hostile behavior over a many year period.

Re: French politics thread

The problem is that Macron's government is liberal in a sense that in America is called libertarian. Macron believes in social progressivism, but he also pisses on the workers and unemployed.

Re: Native American survival scenario

Danes establish a factory in Tranquebar as in real life. They also make a trade post in western Ghana's coast which is often frequented by Scottish and English slave companies. They then made an alliance with a neighbouring kingdom in eastern Ivory Coast against the expanding Ashanti.
