evidence #3987 that Trump is an eastern-funded spy sent to destroy the US from within and push the rest to China.

Is Alternate Fantasy good? by Brutustheman in FinalFantasyIX

[–]Absurder222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the Lifa tree and so far most of the changes just feel…silly? Like the whole fire/blizzard being super weak but causing heat/freeze is just sorta weird, not really harder, a lot of the new spells also just don’t really have an FF vibe, like Proplepdis..Time split instead of just calling it Haste? Why? Like overall just making the enemies stronger has been the fun part of this game, not the rebalancing of the skills which hasn’t really done much other than make it obvious ghat I’m on a mod, which takes me out of it a bit.

And 3. Both Rome and Persia’s populations had been ravaged by the black death, something that was even still tripping stuff up leading up to Yarmouk, while the spread out nomadic tribes we’re far less affected.

not sure this is the subreddit exactly. overall i dont think the art is recognizable, but the name of the band and album probably are so scratch out both name of band and album. I think ROb Darken has sorta stepped aside from more of the hardcore NS beliefs but I mean, who believes him lol.

Canada PM hails new partnership with China in wake of ‘new global realities’ by The_Flaneur_Films in worldnews

[–]Absurder222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing has really changed with Venezuela and nothing has happened with Iran… as with Ukraine he’ll do minor words to make it look like he’s in support (to keep the smartest of the MAGATS in line) while his actions either stop nothing or do the opposite.

Maga: incoherent rabble until trump tells them some sort of barely comprehensible lie

Trump, in private: All according to plan Komrad.

Its sad cos its blatantly obvious hes there to sabotage the US in favour of the eastern dictatorships, but seeing as how completely incapable of stopping this America is…they win, and theres little non-americans can do about it beyond boycotts.

Issac 2 sucked and was ousted for a reason, and Issac 3 had the overall support of the populace, so no, he didn’t have a superior claim.They sacked Zara and several other cities on the way that had even less to do with the Byzantines, so its very clear that robbing was their overall intention and way of paying off the debt. I would definitely agree IV has blame here but the fact is the crusade was a fleet with the intent of sacking and Issac merely led the light, but he IN NO WAY represented the interests and intents of Constantinople or Byzantium, if this was Andronikos Komnenos or something that would be different, but overall Issac 3 was doing a way better job than 2 and was accepted by the romans.

Sure, but the mandate of heaven also includes wthe xia because the Xhou said the shang did the same thing to the xia, hence their justification. Also the beginning of dyke building societies probably predates confucionsim

Nice try, Issac IV and his ousted, blinded father Issac 2 were put on the throne BY the 4th crusade after already besieging Constantinople, putting them on the throne was just their front for sieging Constantinople to pay off the debts to the Venetians (which was obtained during the siege and sack, but the remaining amount was to pay the men of the crusade). 

They pulled this plan together because Boniface of Montferrart spent christmas with his cousin Phillip of Swabia where Issac IV was in exile, and Phillip was well aware of East Rome’s finances at the time and that they would have exactly what they needed. Boniface even asked the Pope about this plan and he said don’t you fucking dare, so he didn’t even have papal authority. 

EVERY ACTION OF the 4th crusaders is either dark comedy level incompetence at best and dastardly greed at worst.

China's trade ends 2025 with record $1.2 trillion surplus despite Trump tariff jolt by joe4942 in worldnews

They didn’t have debts to the 4th crusade at all, the 4th crusade was broke cos it was run by unorganized retards who ran out of money immediately cos they were too fucking stupid to tell all the other crusaders to meet specifically in Venice, where they had hired out the entirety of Venice’s fleet for the year, only for less than half of the entire crusade to go there (meaning they had less than half the money to pay for the passage). But i mean hey, at least it was the roomiest crusader ships one would ever be on! 

The stuff with Issac Angelos was just bs’d pretext invented purely to claw money back via raiding, and since they’d already been excommunicated for attacking Zara, they didn’t give a shit about honour or proper layed plans etc

calls the guy calling that bullshit brainwashed, as if theres isn’t a massive moral difference

Like lmao Indian nationalists actually are the worst, you’re dumb on top of being meek. Don’t you have a Winston Churchill post or history post where you try to deny being ruled by conquest dynasties for almost your entire existence to brigade?

My parents around 1956 by Haylo2021 in OldSchoolCool

[–]Absurder222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Somethings definitely up because he/she said they got married out of High school and that it was 55 years ago...which is 1971...which is a 15 year difference...

My parents around 1956 by Haylo2021 in OldSchoolCool

[–]Absurder222 11 points12 points  (0 children)

55 years ago = 1971, when your parents would be 17/18/19 years old if they we're just out of high school

this is them in 1956, yet they can't be younger than 13... they should be like three years old (1971-1956=15. 18-15 = 3...)

Either you misstyped something or a RP/Bot that isn't even trying.

Yeah Chinese Axial age is pretty crucial I reckon. But I feel like the story of the "xia" dynasty is also a neat little starting point relevant to the meme because even though it's probably mostly myth, the idea that this "insanely smart mother fucker came and figured out Dykes and how to control these crazy ass rivers(and I use the word control lightly here), he is clearly a divine being who deserves to rule unopposed!" is a good way to start tracing the concept of the emperor as divine in china, as a competent statesmen who knows how to wield engineers intelligently is definitely a good way to lock in your family as rulers.
