“Ever since man first left his cave and met a stranger with a different language and a new way of looking at things, the human race has had a dream: to kill him, so we don’t have to learn his language or his new way of looking at things.“

This is unironically true

As a fellow Floridian all the facts stated in this video are 100% true.
SHHHH! Don't give away our secrets!
*secret Floridian handshake and meth-fueled screech of acceptance*
Perhaps it is not wise to reveal our secret plans for world domination, sure, but the Florida man lifestyle is one of chaos and poor decisions, so it's only natural it would happen eventually, such is our way of life, and our Patriotic Duty

Clearly you've never seen the worm man Zomboid series. GOOD DAY, SIR!
Love the video as always. Don’t know if you care about this or not but generally if you want to succeed in this game I recommend putting down as many research labs as possible on your homeworld as soon as possible. By 2280 you could have battleships by this point playing on normal settings if you do this. Research is always good because even when you research everything there is repeatable technologies which you can continue to research for infinitely scaling power (you can infinitely research upgrades to pretty much all aspects of economy, you can upgrade shields, armor, weapons, and I think hull infinitely).
This is great, but have you seen Rimworld series?
Oh hi Mark
You! Here, didn't expect that
I've heard if you live in Florida long enough you gain the passive ability to ride alligators
that's actually an useful ability, unlike my spaghetti mastery.

You can either start the game looking for friends and only finding fanatic purifiers, it you can start the game looking for targets and finding push overs.
@@gabrielclark1425 Painfully accurate. Or you can become a fanatic xenophile and get to say stupid things like, "You will like us or else!"
As a non American, I find this particularly hilarious yet terrifying regardless
Submit or be conquered
No such thing as a non-American.
Just a future American.
America is irregardless
USA USA USA
As a none American with almost Net Zero rights and half my income being taken via partial slave labor aka Income Tax , not counting sales tax property tax etc.
While they give people who aren't even my countrymen, more benefits than the needy already here .
I'd much prefer to be an American , at least I could protect myself from the next home invasion.
( it's happened before and the useless cops took 40 minutes, when I could sprint to their station 3 minutes away if I wasn't pre occupied with an invader ).
Basically you're country and mine suck, unless it's the states.
I once beat Stellaris without participating in a single war. I did it by rushing the economy and research, and paying off neighboring nations as I discover them so they'd like me. When I had a decent territory and a large treasury, I focused all of my nation's resources on building a massive fleet. Then a devouring swarm showed up so I declared the Independence of all the nations surrounding it. It took a few decades before the devouring swarm finally managed to starve itself, but hey, I beat it without fighting.
I just went fanatic xenophile and used diplomats so literally the whole galaxy liked me. You don't get declared war on if you're friendly.
...How did the swarm starve itself? That shouldn`t happen.
@@samueltrusik3251 Probably because he had a lot more fleet power than everyone else due to high research and then he guaranteed the independence of every nation surrounding the devouring swarm, meaning they’d have a lot more on their dinner plate than just a tasty neighboring empire.
You may be wondering: “How exactly could Florida conquer so much so fast?”
Though few documents were saved (as most were rolled into joints and smoked away), one quote from an adversary to Florida’s aggressive liberation gives us a small glimpse into Florida’s military doctrine and tactical strategy.
“One serious problem in planning against Floridian doctrine is that Floridians do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligation to foll… -Ahhh!! he’s eating my face!!-“ - Normal person; killed in action by a homeless meth addict
Truly a remarkable find.
Death Santis
The fact that the Floridian Empire might weaponize their homeless meth addicts into lethal bio-mechanical killing machines that eat alien faces is both ingenious, terrifying, funny and kind of amazing. Will they be riding alligators into combat? Will they uplift and genetically engineer them into a warrior race? Will they face off against the Emu Empire secretly building itself up after its great victory over Australia?
Only time will tell...
We were so concerned with the Aliens taking our jobs, we didn't think to look at enemies coming from within

AA: Cool, let me just use *none of the features of the expansion*
You can barely see the game in the video, just tiny glimpses being randomly zoomed into constantly.
I guess that's what his audience enjoys after they go through a couple edibles and smoke a few joints, so more power to them.
AA gets more esoteric very video.
Like, watching his older Kenshi stuff is trippy just by how little psychodrama he rambled about.
In like two months he will be posting videos of pure abstract mindscapes narrating the end of all possible versions of humanity.
He's a prophet
The last time I watched this channel was the Kenshi series. I feel like I'm watching the same CZcamsr, but from an alternate timeline
@@XxXMrSisterFisterXxX I saw him a few years ago when he was doing the Torso solo Kenshi streams. They were like 1-3 hours long. Hideous pain throughout. I noticed that his stream of thought narration style and mercury voice type fit quite well with Szeth's videos, so I linked it to him and said if he tried this type of video, he would make the most of his talents. He was still at a couple of thousand subs.
Now he is almost a million, heh.
The only thing that was missing from Stellaris was America™ and now we are fulfilled.
I like how he says "realistic Star Fox" because there's an outfit and phenotype selection in Stellaris that will make the leader look exactly like Fox McCloud
"And literally Polyphemous."
I appreciated that

I would like to greet all the fans from Poland. Author, you don't even know what a great gift you made to us!
It should be more yellow in my opinion
You guys really don't like John Paul II, huh?
@@tissuepaper9962 No, it's a joke because that pope was polish.
@@tissuepaper9962 I wouldn't think of it as a lack of respect to the polish Pope. I think it has more in common with a youth counterculture of overly cleric country and a little bit of trolling the older generation. From my observations, most young people don't give a shit about JP2, but some religious zealots are totally bonkers when they hear about JP2 controversies (like hiding child abuse). I find this phenomena somewhat fascinating.
Imagine cenzopapas becoming new "export memes" after the spinning toilet.

I feel the Military size to research spending was far too balanced than the US really is
How else are we going to invent bigger guns with which to Yee Haw with??
Most of our budget goes to pensions and the garbage educational system we're stuck with.
Military budget is far less then you think and a decent chunk of that is spent studying ayylmao starships that are kept locked up in secure storage by the pentagon.
@@adept151 So much grift, too, if the U.S. Army paid $20,000 for a batch of rifles, you could have gotten the same for $5,000.
I did a USA run in Stellaris like 1 or 2 years ago. The objective was to integrate the entire galaxy into the federal republic as equal ctiizens. The finest moment was when three of my vasals, all fromer autocracies, were annexed ("integrated into the union after a democratic transition") in 2276- the 5th centenial of the United States.
Would love to have seen a video of this. You should post a guide.

There is no equal society without class consciousness and justice. The US is a gerontocratic oligarchy heading into fascist theocracy, hardly a democracy.

Except that, for silly gameplay reasons, they have the weakest ships of all the major houses, stats-wise. Still like their aesthetic. EFF THE NOMADS.

I was gonna upvote you but was wondering what the heck "blue blooded" means in this situation.
Are there Harry Potter style wizards that severely dislike muggles in Texas?
Is a 2nd or later generation Hispanic or Latino/Latina America who has lived his/her whole life in Texas a "pure blooded Texan"?
What if an adult Texan had moved from say Arkansas with his parents when he was very young?

i feel those florida guys returning to fatherland to find their leader dead after a century of his wise reign...
i also was once trying to play "high" (or whatever that's called) and suddenly realized upon leader's death that it was the same guy for the whole game... and not only that but he was just so absurdly old he witnessed some half a century before his race even became spacefaring civilisation.
that's ridiculous.
While from a gameplay point of view I'm disgusted it took you so long to clear the Sprawling Slums (thus denying an entire pop that could be working this whole time and more than paying off the mere 300 energy cost) is it AGGRESSIVELY AMERICAN to ignore the homeless for as long as possible so 10/10 for roleplaying.
The year 2137 is not a coincidence
Year 2137... I see what you did there xD
This is some of your best work I've ever seen when you pop into my recommended every now and then. Love it. Subbed.

Who remembers when in the year of our Lord 2243 when President George WashingSTAR used advanced rocket systems to fling the entire state of California out into the stars and crash it into a planet thousands of lightyears awhile?
I thought it was a strange policy to campaign on but I think we can all agree it was for the best.
The beginning of this video is exactly why I love your content. That lizard wants me to watch your videos.
I often forget you were an English major, but then you have an intro that pokes the surface of a few philosophical quandaries in a video about spacemerica. I am promptly corrected, then reminded i'm in the presence of an amphibian and a scholar.
I agree, hence why I immediately found it sus that he tried to appeal to our emotions with a...lizard... Some type of amphibian recommending LIZARDS?! 🤔
That Polyphemus joke was good

Thanks for the video AA! This was a joy to wake up to, your space odysseys are always the stuff of legend.
This conquest isn't dissimilar to the Imperium of Man's from the 40k universe
I for one welcome our new Florida overlords!
Played Stellaris in it's beta. Used to be so simple, stopped for a while, and when I returned after a NUMBER of updates; It was clear you have to be a diabolical maniac to play it effectively.
As someone that immediately enslaves all my neighbors right at the start of a campaign, I can agree.
Its pretty fun casually on lower difficulties, playing around with different government types. But yeah, sometimes it just feels like a clusterfuck past that.
If you’re playing on high difficulties, maybe. On normal mode it’s pretty easy
Do not forget the MODS?
As a Texan I’m fine with us having a solar system
Triple the stars, triple the gain!
''Whoever they are, we don't like them'' You can't get more american than this

Your videos on PZ, Kenshi and others got me interested in your channel, this got me to subscribe. Keep up the good work man, your videos are some of the most entertaining I've seen.
The mods are worth getting into. Being able to literally reinact the plot of the original starwars trilogy is pretty fun.
That felt actually totally super realistic. no joke.
Such a beautiful narration of what is to come. I can only hope I live to see the beginning of the Flordia takeover, if not the result.
