To be fair, Wellesley enacted the Catholic Emancipation which allowed Catholics to run for public office, which tacitly gave civil rights to the Irish.

Zelensky’s domestic policies are really bad and he’s not exactly above corruption. I always thought he is the Ukrainian Churchill.

I’m amazed that this bit is kept in the bible, despite the numerous revisions by early Christians.

Da Vinci’s design is meant for the wings to flap but that’s not how man-made flying contraptions work.

I’m convinced some people are masochists. In media, villains justify their attempt to control the world by stating people want to be ruled. I didn’t understand it before but the older I get, the more I understand that some people like to be followers. This is why totalitarianism persists.

Not sure what tankies are telling you, but everyone left USSR with Kazakhstan being technically the USSR for four days.

I love carrot cake!

I appreciate the reply but i posted on the wrong post for some reason 😂

I don’t know, being a hunter gatherer won’t let me live the power fantasy of being Batman. I can’t pull all those slick moves in real life!

Wehraboos should also understand that Nazi Germany is overrated. Most people don’t realise that the Nazis were extremely incompetent in handling the economy, so much so that Germany at the time was on the brink of another economic collapse just before Hitler invaded Poland. The economic collapse was held at bay for as long possible due to Nazis plundering the nations they conquered. But during peace time, they are absolutely idiots. If there had been no war, Nazi Germany would have already collapsed. That’s why my gripe with alternative history of Nazis winning is of it being rich. But in reality they had runaway government spending in just few years they had been in power.

Terminator Anime. It is surprisingly good but it had been cancelled because it wasn’t popular enough.

When I was in school, a question that comes up is how could anyone let fascism took place before. Our generation is finally seeing it again. A lot of people are sanewashing and still arguing whether we’re under fascism. There’s the answer: we’re frogs in boiling water.

This is why I tell people that life (not just history) is far more nuanced than we expect. We think we’re better, but I’m sure that future generations will judge us. I mean, we think we are lgbt tolerant now, but I distinctly remember growing up 10-15 years ago when a lot of people casually use “gay” to dismiss something they don’t like.
