@PunishedAlbert @Igi_POLCOM Oh it used to be a great word and itโs 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.

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 canโt 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 โPeopleโ say that about Russia all the time but with China itโs a tougher sell cause their eyes are squinty

You know, something is telling me that Iran probably doesnโt want to be an ally to the USA.
We are one step removed from people just saying โhuh the US and China would make for great allies!โ
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 werenโt just your typical venal authoritarian motivated by little else but self-interest, consumption and sadism or anything.

How even do you mess your history so bad that you think kulaks were (1) Central Asian and (2) nomads?
Zac B ๐บ๐ฆ๐ต๐ธ@ZacB_MN
Why do you think the โKulaksโ (poor central Asian nomads) killed their own livestock? For fun?

@KaiserKat04 @ArchysLife Old communist propaganda doesnโt resonate with me but I agree it was among the best

@ArchysLife Communists used to be better at propaganda smh. Some might say the best, even!

Chinese propaganda is just embarrassing at this point lol

Donโt be nervous, bro. Youโre in China, not the UK. Our honor guards wonโt yell at you "Make Way" and push you aside. Theyโll just go around you.

@ArchysLife I donโt know why that turned into a Trump impression at the end ๐

@ArchysLife I didnโt 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.

@Localist132215 @RacePopeIII Yeah I agree with that. For what itโs 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.

@BrianMerris @RacePopeIII Itโs 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 canโt 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 Iโd be much more comfortable and โat homeโ living in Britain than in Italy or Germany so I suppose the โSaxonizationโ kind of worked lol

@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 youโre 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 โpan-Westernโ identity for America rather than a specifically English one, and Latin is the perfect fit for that. Itโs already a foundational pillar of the English language anyway.
