  • Damn who could have predicted that Hungarians who mald over trianon and ukraine who tries to erase any local minorities, clashing? Ukraine is going to be a lot smaller in the future. Transcarpathia votes closer in line with russophone ukraine and is disproportionately used as a recruiting ground. Hungary has a real shot of annexing that territory.

  • Like trump is trump first, ideology second. Most of his internal faction in the bourgeoisie would reign him in quick, but if israel gets to pissy or doesnt defer to him, he would slap them down. Gods no because he cares about Palestinians, but because he is “petty like that”.

    Trump still causes a lot of death and violence, in my language however there is saying that can be roughly translated to mean that its better to have an end with terror, than a terror without end.

  • I have seen also libs praising the old man who was against "violent protests" because its an imperial trap and that it should be a lesson to "PSL idiots". Like Krennic basically made that conference to enforce "yeah we are going to genocide ghorman if we dont find an synthetic alternative". The death of millions of ghormans (remember it was only 800k who were in the direct way of the mining operation) was already pre-planned, they were just crafting a reason.

    No matter how civil the ghor were, they are lambs to the slaughter. Cassian vs Luthen's fight was about that, Both didnt know that Ghorman was lost either way really, yes, but thematically it was about using that situation to accentuate discontent in the imperial core vs trying to help ghormans survive (which was futile).

  • Well thats the point though, they found "empty" farmlands and villages due to the pandemic that hit northern england 3 years prior, they didnt build houses and farms (well maybe re-cultivate it, but thats much more easier than creating new farmland). They just came from the urban areas of Holland which was the progressive wealthy "utopia" of that time and were ignorant of the local weather.

  • But our shorthand for, say, Europe's Middle age doesn't actually replace anyone's understanding of European history

    That period is horrible misconstrued due to the victorian age propaganda. Half of the "medivial age" based media is a horrible mishmash of 17-19th century anglo-norman-centric cultural memory imposed on the 10th-13th century timeframe. Like there were regions of western europe that DIDNT have "feudalism" (which is an antiquated term nowdays) at all.

    Of course its nothing compared to non-western cultures and their treatment (or complete erasure).

  • OG Orientalism was about the Byzantines and the struggle for self-determination during the greek papacy, when rome was a backwater under east roman control. Especially once east rome adopted iconoclasm to stop the rise of islam, which raised an huge issue, since icons were a beloved tradition of roman culture. Of course romans believed in goldilocks "racism", with the south being nerdy frail femboys and the north being dumb overmanly brutes with big dicks (yes), and the romans being the perfect middle ground.

    This caused the fractured between the decadent effeminate emotional greeks vs the temperate stoic masculine latins. This was transferred to the muslims and then east asia. The tropes are basically the same across the times.
