More like “US: Continuing the imperialism we spend the entire 19th century doing”.

If you are literally starving or dying from a preventable disease without access to healthcare, it doesn’t really matter if it is happening now or 1000 years ago, the result is exactly the same.

Claiming that every human on Earth lives better than 100 years ago is not only objectively wrong, but rings of the “even our homeless here in the US lives better than the richest person in Africa” ignorant nonsense some people likes to spew.

It’s nostalgia if you enjoy them.

That is a curious biased claim while simultaneously trying to push subjectivity.

I think most people enjoy them because it is great music. You may not like them, that is also fine, but you claiming that people only like them because of nostalgia is some grade A bs.

They have the effect of massively increasing our energy consumption at a time when we desperately need to cut down on it. Just to mention one thing in the slew of disastrous things this AI bubble is causing to our ability to just do the bare minimal to counter our climate disaster.

It is pretty impressive that they apparently managed to get the ship moved into Jutland.

It varies depending on locality.

In Scandinavia for example the medieval period starts after the end of the Viking Age around the middle of the 11th century. 500-800 is the Germanic Iron Age (in Sweden it is called the Vendel period).

No such thing as an European inch. It varied from country to country.

More like an attempt at buying forgiveness. The fact that she waited to free her slave until she was dead pretty much cancels out any attempt at making this a benevolent action.

Same with “inuit”.

I think in another timeline it could have been one of the nation’s greatest accomplishments

How on Earth would an aggressive colonialist war ever have been one of the US greatest achievements in any way? The entire premise of the war was fundamentally flawed and wrong, a military and/or political victory would not have changed that in the slightest.

Sucked for the slaves, since instead of being freed in 1848 when France abolished slavery (for the second time), they had to wait until 1865, and even then they still had to live in the literal apartheid which was the Jim Crow South for a century more.

Danish disketter as well.

For Anglocentric Americans yeah, either Scottish or Irish.

Except for the “constantly having to worry whether one of them will finally succumb to their right wing extremist parties” part.

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.

And by “making their own” they put a wig and a pair of sunglasses on the British Imperial system.

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.

What a pathetic excuse.

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!”.
