Oh no I meant I had thought he had the burly men too, though that might’ve just been me assuming that the gay king did that.

His father was the one with all the burly men? Freddy GOATs was the arts patron and military genius who made sure his troops had a uniform that they looked hot in. The man who both made Prussia into Prussia and Berlin into Berlin

Wait, are the AFD really stanning the gayest king in European history?
But also based af, I’d love it if Prussia had built pagan temples back then just to welcome various religions.
- Comment on You wrote the history book vs You were in the history book 1 week ago:
Yeah it’s really hard to completely destroy history if your enemies are dedicated to preserving it. For example Franco couldn’t kill the republican narrative of his war, he could only drive it into secrecy.
Soldiers ensure your reign, but scholars legitimize it. Oh and minority groups have a vested interest in maintaining their own scholarship that’s proportional to how hard you try to stop it.

I’m shocked y’all’re including Rosa Parks in there. Like, she’s awesome, but she’s an American protestor
for a deeply American issue. Ok apparently the UK had segregation, just not on the level of the American south. But I guess it makes a lot of sense to compare that to the women’s sufferage movement. - Comment on Oh lord yes 1 week ago:
As one of the lucky few, yeah it’s awesome. My body basically says “oh you wanted that energy as muscle? You got it boss”
- Comment on Legalising cannabis increases use and addiction, unless it's tightly controlled. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah and if i can get less profit seeking in weed stores sure, but fuck having to go back to dealers
- Comment on Average day in the Classical era 2 weeks ago:
That more or less perfectly sums up my college experience
- Comment on Legalising cannabis increases use and addiction, unless it's tightly controlled. 2 weeks ago:
I stand by legalization being the correct choice
- Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 3 weeks ago:
That said, some planets that are visible with the naked eye have been long associated with deities. Notably Venus (sometimes called the Morningstar) was associated with beauty/love goddesses including Venus/Aphrodite and Ishtar/Inanna.

Yeah as an American I had no idea. Our main source of pride with space is the whole walking on the moon thing.
- Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 3 weeks ago:
The earth’s moon is an extreme outlier to our knowledge. Thea made our world weird
- Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 3 weeks ago:
It didn’t even get a single year
- Comment on For pride month, I thought I'd take a stab at mocking a historical case of circular reasoning. 4 weeks ago:
Yep, you can be as big of a freak as you want and get security clearance if you’re only really hiding it as a courtesy to others. Meanwhile totally socially acceptable things that you’re too ashamed of can cost you it.
- Comment on Unexpected Trans History 4 weeks ago:
We’ve always existed, and often we wind up existing in similar roles. The gallae of Rome are another example, though not respected.
Also, yeah the Scythians were cool as fuck
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 1 month ago:
One of my pet peeves has been stores blocking off half the self checkout except when there’s high volume of customers. I didn’t need to be waiting in line. You have perfectly fine self checkouts there, but no, I have to wait, and possibly walk to the other side of the store for no good reason.
