This is the most leftest view I've ever seen.
Not at all. First it's merely a statement of fact and a fact does not have any political bias. A is A after all.
Second, the issue is not, as you allege, that you prioritize your group over another's. The issue is the dehumanization. That rather than treating Non-Eldia as individuals with equal right to live their life peacefully as the Eldia, you treat them as inferiors who can only exist at your whim. That turning them into vassal slaves is not objectionable or morally wrong because they are essentially aliens.
I am all for prioritizing the interests of one's own group over others. That's the entire backbone of America First after all, a government should reflect the interests and concerns of its people rather than, say, some global oligarchy. The issue is the particular interests you've chosen to prioritize and your either ignorance of their implication or your chilling indifference to them.
Third, my argument is rooted in uplifting the individual and inalienable rights. It is the very bedrock upon which any right of center argument could be forged. In contrast your argument is rooted in collectivism from singular Volk to guilt being tied to identity rather than actions which are all just warmed over flavors of Leftist thought.
It's not beyond the sane definition of self preservation. Attack on Titan shows us that the rest of the world WILL gang up and wipe out the Eldians, so the best thing to do is to wipe them all out first.
Once again dehumanizing the "Other" into a single-minded, gestalt entity incapable of change. Condemning them for attempted genocide but applauding yourself for attempting the exact same thing.
Also you say only soldiers should be sold. Why?
Not exactly. I said selling the soldiers into slavery would have been at least one thing. For the record I'm strongly opposed to this entire proposal of yours but was attempting to play Devil's advocate.
As for why, I explained that quite well. The entire thing was that it was tied to them attacking you. They stop, you stop. While one could of course extend that into reprisals against their cities, as an analogue of strategic bombing, that's really splitting hairs on what I was saying. Namely that this slavery be tied to your actual self-preservation as opposed to a Final Solution to punish your enemies.
To be fair it'd be more like 98% since I want to spare Japan. Also the reason I'm leaning towards the machines instead of regular rumbling is because the machines will at least make sure to not destroy the eco system and other species.
Which doesn't affect my point at all.
No it is relavent because the whole reason I'm opening a portal to the machines is because Marley and the rest of the world is coming to genocide us, and this is given as an alternative to the rumbling which will send millions of giants to destroy the world and living things it would turn everything into a barren desert. If those nations did not plan to invade or genocide us then I would be against the rumbling and against opening a portal to the machines.
That's your excuse but if self-preservation was your primary concern you wouldn't condone harvesting people *after* they are no longer a threat. You wouldn't be inclined to cozy up with a race which has already wiped out humanity and turned it into a cattle race.
What you want is power to punish your enemies. That's the only thing that sounds genuine is when you're talking about punishing others. Your claims that you just want to genocide 98% of your planet's population but then you'll live in harmony in contrast sounds cartoonishly silly.
It's not more advantageous to keep them alive, in fact I'd like to ask you Mr. Robot to stop the battery farm idea because you don't need it our world unlike the Matrix world has a visible sun you can use solar power and we can just kill all the Marleyans to make sure they don't rise up in the future and genocide us.
1.) Yes, it was. Your entire plan was to enslave the Non-Eldia to sell to the Machines. To essentially farm them.
2.) In addition to proving you are untrust worthy you now want to try and weasel out of paying what you're owed to the Machines. All in order to destroy what the Machines value. Which will likely make them rethink this alliance, assuming they ever intended to honor it in the first place.
No 500 people from a post apocalpytic modern society is not enough to stop 1 million men.
It's 500 plus the upteched Eldia and I think you are underestimating what modern mobility and firepower can do. Your not fighting 1 million men. You are using your assets like helicopters to ferry small, hard hitting units to disrupt key segments of the larger advance.
Since you are familiar with Warhammer, fight like the Tau not the IG.

What's the concencus on the NCR contribution?
The NCR was my second choice. My primary concerns was 1.) their price of 10 million gallons of water per year seemed steep to me. Admittedly I'm unused to waters in such quantities so I'm not absolute how truely large that is. 2.) Being in less desperate stakes than the Commonwealth, I felt there was a greater chance of them betraying me
