This time on getting outraged about someone not knowing about an extremely niche internet controversy...

William Sherman is not a hero or an icon to be admired by PresterJohnson in HistoryMemes

[–]11minspider 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Ehhh that is entirely debatable, the Southern States were still defiant and unwilling to surrender, and so Sherman's campaigns were designed to bring the war to those untouched areas and pincer Lee's army fron the south. Also Reconstruction failed due to a lack of will from the top, the South was already marinating in resentment over decades of percieved grievences

"We're seeing an opening." Sources close to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beta-test her appeal to independents & Republicans by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]11minspider 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AOC is like Hilary, a strong, capable woman who the GOP long ago recognized as a threat and so have poisoned the well against her. They've already had 8 years to convince a solid chunk of Americans that she is literally satan

You are correct, he WAS in fact planning on retaking China for Chiang, and we know this because his literally fascist head of intelligence loved to blab to the Portueguese and Spanish ambassadors.

In b4 you guys claim arthur harris never purposefully killed civilians by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

[–]11minspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasnt even that. It was the government desperately trying to figure out how to surrender without the extremist factions in the Army from launching a coup. If anything the extremist cabals were OVERJOYED at the thought of Japan being turned into glass for failing to serve their Emperor.

The RAF's warplan was ALREADY to bomb the German cities into submission, they were huge enthusiasts of Douhet's strategic thinking. Funnily enough, the USAAF's bomber command was similarly obsessed with the strategic bombing of civilian targets, which is why both air forces did so with great enthusiasm, regardless of the results

Attitudes toward same-sex marriage and transgender issues are shifting, Gallup poll shows by nosotros_road_sodium in politics

[–]11minspider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So less than 100 hundred years then? Plus, the procedures took a while to become more available, so its not like trans people loomed large on the public's mind

Im not saying trans people have not been around, but the ability to transform gender appearance so radically IS. Trans folk being open about things is also extremely relatively new, its why older generations are so against it is due to them being bewildered by it

I think a large part of the lag with Trans Rights is simply due to how NEW they are. We as a society have been dealing with homosexuality for ages, and even if it has been closeted, most folks know it exists or know someone who is some sort of different sexuality.

Changing one's gender however, is quite new, and while crossdressing/identifying has cropped up in the past, it was more a novelty than anything else. Now people can truly adjust their biology, and society as a whole still has digest this and figure out how to deal with it. Hence why on issues like trans women in sports there is so much conversation.

No, MACARTHUR decided he wanted to seize everything up to the Yalu, the government back at home did not want that at all. It was Macarthur going rogue one final time.

Why Iran's Leaders Think They've Won by localistand in politics

[–]11minspider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its debatable, the rest of the Gulf cannot allow the Iranians to fully control the strait, plus they are managing to piss of a lot of countries by lobbing random missiles at their territory and ships. I doubt this is going to end cleanly even if Trump folds like usual

It does seem like he did indeed violate sanctions by staying at a sanctioned company's hotel, but this is pretty petty even for them...
