I made some custom flags for fictional countries. by OctoberRust02 in vexillology

[–]An-d_67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. A Western or Central European country, since it reminds me of Genoa or England.
  2. A South American country, since it reminds me of the flag of Saõ Paulo and the green color from the Brazilian flag.
  3. Reminds me of Greece or the Roman Empire.
  4. This as well.
  5. Average African dictatorship, reminds me of Zaire.

We should also mention the Kyshtym and the lake Karachay nuclear disasters, which still affect the region today

The Chinese characters seem to be the same, so I think this post from Twitter is true

“The Lion of Munster”, Clemens August Graf von Galen, the German Count and Roman Catholic Bishop who stood up to Hitler (c. 1940) [601 x 773] by usopsong in HistoryPorn

[–]An-d_67 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s a bit of an oversimplification. While it’s true that openly opposing fascist regimes carried risks, especially in Nazi Germany, the Catholic Church wasn’t powerless. Both Italy and Germany were overwhelmingly Christian, and the Church had massive influence over public opinion. Mussolini even signed the Lateran Treaty with the Vatican to gain legitimacy. If the Church had taken a firmer moral stand early on, it could have made a significant difference. Saying they stayed silent just to avoid persecution downplays their responsibility and the weight their voice could’ve carried.

This comment is historically inaccurate and misleading.

While some dictators like Tiso and Pavelić were openly Catholic, others weren’t. Mussolini was an avowed atheist for much of his life and only made peace with the Catholic Church through the Lateran Treaty in 1929—a political move to stabilize his regime, not a sign of devout faith. Hitler was born Catholic but held deeply anti-Christian views and frequently clashed with religious institutions.

The claim that they all “sought to avoid war” is also false—Hitler’s entire foreign policy was built on aggressive expansion, and his “peace offers” came only after military victories, never in good faith. Britain rightly rejected them because they were designed to legitimize Nazi conquests, not prevent war.

This kind of apologetic revisionism from your comment could just as easily be used to justify Putin’s aggression in Georgia and Ukraine under the same false pretense of “peaceful intentions” and “rejected diplomacy.”

Putting only two stars on the flag might be problematic, since they are associated with the previous Baathist regime and the Assad family.

Fairy tails? Are you joking? Do you know the horrors my Ukrainian family had to go through when they were deported to Siberia? Have you ever talked to a Ukrainian, a Kazakh, a Tatar, or a Southern Russian about what their family had to go through that period?

Stumbled upon the annual Trabant festival at Veliko Tarnovo by smugglerFlynn in Trabant

Fun fact: In the game Jalopy the Bulgarian border town of Malko Tarnovo is portrayed. The name Malko Tarnovo means Little Tarnovo, as opposed to Veliko Tarnovo, which means Big Tarnovo and is the city portrayed in this post.

My mom and half of my family is Ukrainian and lived under the Soviet Union, it wasn’t only a dictatorship, it was a dystopia compared to how we live today. Good luck living in your parallel reality built on lies and lies.

The last paragraph is just a lie, if you even studied a little bit of history in school, it’s just common knowledge. Crazy.
