when i used to play a lot of mappie games (not hoi4 i am cultured) there were 4 types of people that I ran into:

-really really smart people who were sort of left liberals

-really really dumb redditors who were mostly liberals

-communists

-and unironic fascists

it was really interesting to see how communities formed and changed, seeing which ones would survive, and which ones had the worst game rules
