@PunishedAlbert @Igi_POLCOM Oh it used to be a great word and it’s been wholly ruined but give it like 10 years maybe less and we can reclaim it

@BrianMerris @Igi_POLCOM Unironically I hate this tho because goon was such an active part of my vocabulary before it became what it is now.
English
Side note but I need to find a bunch of goons to force into playing DnD again.
Side side note but I hate that I can’t even use the word goon anymore without having to add an addendum that I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU DISGUSTING FUCKS.

Easily worldbuilding in literature. Fuck IR, fuck politics, fuck all of that shit bro my ass needs a break.

@PunishedAlbert “People” say that about Russia all the time but with China it’s a tougher sell cause their eyes are squinty

You know, something is telling me that Iran probably doesn’t want to be an ally to the USA.
We are one step removed from people just saying “huh the US and China would make for great allies!”
Retro Coast@RetroCoast
Iran would be a better ally for the USA than Israel. Iran produces oil, technology, and food. Israel produces nothing.

@ArchysLife Nazi I guess. Every Nazi was of course an esoteric theorist of the ancient Nordic order and 95% of them totally weren’t just your typical venal authoritarian motivated by little else but self-interest, consumption and sadism or anything.

@ArchysLife Their name does sound like that’s what they would be intuitively lol but a simple google search was probably in order

How even do you mess your history so bad that you think kulaks were (1) Central Asian and (2) nomads?
Zac B 🇺🇦🇵🇸@ZacB_MN
Why do you think the “Kulaks” (poor central Asian nomads) killed their own livestock? For fun?

@KaiserKat04 @ArchysLife Old communist propaganda doesn’t resonate with me but I agree it was among the best
English
@ArchysLife Communists used to be better at propaganda smh. Some might say the best, even!
English
Chinese propaganda is just embarrassing at this point lol

Don’t be nervous, bro. You’re in China, not the UK. Our honor guards won’t yell at you "Make Way" and push you aside. They’ll just go around you.

@ArchysLife I don’t know why that turned into a Trump impression at the end 😅

I hope this couple is still together bc this video really cracks me up every time I see it 😂😂😂 this is my type of carrying on

@ArchysLife I didn’t even know there was a debate I just thought it was Osman lol
English
Might be of interest to the Turkish history nerds who follow me - the debate over whether the name of the founder of the Ottoman dynasty was "Osman" or "Ataman" seems to have been decidedly resolved in favor of the already-predominant "Osman" theory.

Osman - Ataman cedeli artık tamamen bitti, diyebiliriz. Yıldırım'da gerçekleşen Osmanlı'nın Kuruluşu sempozyumunda Dr. Betül Teoman, ilk defa sunduğu bir Orhan Gazi sikkesinde 'noktalı peltek se ve ayn harfli' Osman ismini net bir şekilde gösterdi.

The 1887s was the first time I understood what something broken was in a video game. 9 year old me got clapped from across the screen exactly like this and I watched that killcam entirely convinced it was utter bullshit

@Localist132215 @RacePopeIII Yeah I agree with that. For what it’s worth I think English should be codified as the national language of America, I just took issue with the idea of totally rewriting our legal and civic language when Latin is like, *the* foundation of it all across the West.
English
@BrianMerris @RacePopeIII It’s hardly the only source, but it is the original, & as the original has not just a right but a need to conform the rest in large part. You can’t promote spanish or German as an alternative American language just cuz both are European, and likewise the same notion applies.
English
I swear these people are politically raped whipping boys not fit for any kind of political power.
English
@Localist132215 @RacePopeIII Not a bad point tbh. Like my background is Italian and German and yet I feel I’d be much more comfortable and “at home” living in Britain than in Italy or Germany so I suppose the “Saxonization” kind of worked lol
English
@BrianMerris @RacePopeIII Thats a false dichotomy. The mindset behind the migration of the 19th century and early 20th, was to saxonize other Europeans, and then this was connected further to Frontier Thesis where it took on an indigenization element. You start with the Anglo-Saxon and then move outward
English
@Localist132215 @RacePopeIII Anglo-Saxon identity should remain highly respected and valued as the root of our founding, of course, but the reality is it is simply no longer viable as the *only* source of our values. Just my read on the current state of affairs, anyway.
English
@Localist132215 @RacePopeIII I totally agree that what you’re describing is *the* foundational ethos of America, but with the way things went, upholding it above all others *today* just seems like clinging to an idea of America that was lost a century ago.
English
@Localist132215 @RacePopeIII And not to appeal to history but with the way the American nation developed in the 19th and 20th centuries with broader European immigration it seems that this more pan-European approach was just the right way to go.
English
@Localist132215 @RacePopeIII I understand the appeal of that but at the end of the day I suppose im sympathetic to a more “pan-Western” identity for America rather than a specifically English one, and Latin is the perfect fit for that. It’s already a foundational pillar of the English language anyway.
