See, here's the thing. It is 100% acceptable to hate white people if you are not. It is 100% acceptable to hate men if you are not. It is 100% acceptable to hate straight people if you are not. It is 100% acceptable to hate cis people if you are not. It is 100% acceptable to hate abled people if yo...

The debate if Macedonians were eventually considered greek proper or not is not something that can ever be decided really considering the sources for it are either written with the intent of proving they were greek (i.e. Phillip II. and Alexander's propaganda) or written with the intent of disprovin...

And I find it a typical example of toxic ethnic Balkan bullshit - in Europe you have examples like Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the independent state that is a EU member) vs the province of Luxembourg (largest Belgian province, to the south, with more population and land mass then the Grand Duchy), w...

Russia is the mastermind, a global enemy which is simultaneously very strong (capable of orchestrating regime change in the USA) and very weak (corrupt rump state, which only depends on oil, etc.). None of that is unprecedented in history, see for example the Ancien Régime for that, which was corru...

Trump: FBI spends too much time on collusion to stop school shootings.

Trump is the very definition of Backpfeifengesicht.

To make it more simple for others:

This is akin to modern France deciding to call itself the Roman Empire.

And here's what is extra crazy: France would probably have a better claim to the RE than FYROM does to Macedonia.

I suppose I've also noticed that, it's almost always called Taiwan, to the point that I'm guessing most English speakers in the West... well, at least in the USA... probably don't know or remember that it's actually the Republic of China. So yeah, it would be fairly unusual for most of 'us' to spon...

For our 7th Sea campaign, I'm playing a Germanic not-Witcher monster hunter. Can anyone point me to a decent source of European mythic creatures and monsters, particularly Germanic ones? I'm also looking for mountain-dwelling German monsters specifically. Go read the brother's grimm, the thidrekssa...

This show picked up a lot of goodwill from me with the way they handled the mirror universe part. Then they destroyed a huge chunk of it with their solution to the klingon war. Oh yeah it is going to work because nobody would ever dare rebel against some empress holding federation tech and nobody ha...

Just for interest, do you think both countries have a right to have Macedonia somewhere in the name of their respective regions, as long as its clear the Macedonia's are different, eg Upper Macedonia for the FYROM and Greece keeps a region simply called Macedonia. Sure they do - in the end of it ev...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQZr2NgKPiU (if you don't speak russian enable subtitles) Russsia just threatened to block youtube if this video is not removed. Russia has threatened to block access to YouTube and Instagram if the websites do not remove videos and photos of a Kremlin-linked oligarch...

I stated a fact. I did not speculate as to the reason for it, nor did I make any "accusation" beyond that which I stated directly (that I am subject, for whatever reason, to disproportionate criticism on this topic). Neither of those are facts, just your mistaken perception of being someh...

The mod response (in a public space) was to call it “dumb… [but he didn’t] actually come out and say it” and that’s that. This is how policing works culturally: Calling colonial violence good is allowed while saying ‘the categories that create the possibility of colonial violence and sustain it to ...

Yes, there are certain specific spelling errors that I habitually make unless I pay very close attention to what I am writing. Yes, I'm sure some people find it annoying. But I can't help but notice that nobody else gets their spelling and grammar nitpicked as much as I do (and I know I'm not the o...

That's a fair response. I think for purposes of the conversation writ large the question of respect for property and of the average Native person is what is important, which involved little to none and mass enslavement (only to be eventually undone in favor of African slavery) respectively. And I t...

Are we thinking of the same thing? Because it's been years since I studied the Conquest but the Dukes I remember came about a hundred years after the conquest. The elevation to Duke did, but the son of the dead Aztec emperor was already addressed as nobility and his son was elevated to Count, the g...

All of those groups were pre-existing inside the state. They were already under jurisdiction to the France/the Netherlands/et al. and then had rights taken away from them that recognized the continuity of both the Government they were under and also recognized that there was a rupture that allowed ...

He does not play himself and only rips content from others.

Tourism. There is a lot of worth in historical names for tourism and ad purposes.


As to my personal take, I do think the greeks have the better claim.

Me, I'll allow it.

So EU beat NA by 7:1 and then this happens. NA LUL.

A.) Historical acts of conquest involved, as a rule, a recognition of preexisting legal relationships to land and preexisting governmental structures. To use the example of Britain, the successive conquests all recognized that there were preexisting governments there and mostly simply replaced the ...
