Except for the “constantly having to worry whether one of them will finally succumb to their right wing extremist parties” part.
- Comment on To be fair, Napoleon did ended up disappointing in 1802 when he reinstated slavery in the French colonies, but even so, this was a big W from his part 1 week ago:
That is how it went in the other colonial empires, including Britain though. In fact while the UK abolished slavery in 1837, it only finished paying off its debt of reparation to slaveowners in 2015.
But it should be mentioned that Napoleon also reinstated slavery after he became emperor, so I highly doubt he abolished it on Malta for personal convictions.
- Comment on The Empire is Responsible for the Imperial System 1 week ago:
And by “making their own” they put a wig and a pair of sunglasses on the British Imperial system.
- Comment on The real Atlantis was the metaphors we ignored 1 week ago:
The problem with Thera being Atlantis is that both Herodotus (who lived and wrote some decades before Plato was born) and other ancient writers mentions the island, but they don’t mention anything about it being connected to the myth of Atlantis. Which is something you would have expected especially Herodotus to have mentioned if that was the general belief at the time.

All of it gobbled up by AI data centers.
- Comment on GOG sending emails with Nazi symbolism now? 2 weeks ago:
What a pathetic excuse.
- Comment on Modern day monarch. 2 weeks ago:
It’s a joke. It is not actually an AI picture, but a photo of some random guy who slightly resembles him.

Not a lot of blitzkrieg would be going on. The tanks would be rolling along, and then someone yells “Stop! we have to wait for the AT-AT to catch up!”.
