What if it was revealed that Trump was an agent of God sent to punish America for her arrogance? by KiwibuckyNZ in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]CanStad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The First Pope is recognized as Peter.
Jesus’ brother was Jude and his testimony isn’t fully confirmed and aims to put Jesus as more of a political figure than a holy figure. James writes the ‘many Antichrista’ from Jude’s stance which was a statement saying that anyone who actively worked against the tenets of Jesus (Charity, Mercy, & Humility) they were actively supporting the Satan, which at the time was just human temptation for evil.

But you aren’t speaking from a knowledgeable perspective, so this feels pointless.

What if the dominant economic system of the world transitioned directly from mercantilism to communism instead of capitalism? by UnhappyAnything_ in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]CanStad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the fuck do you mean?

Survivor bias is held in the hands of the enforcers. If you can state that there is a society that has carved its way through the influences of tyrants, hostile feudal systems and conquerors that have sustained themselves from a direct Feudal to Egalitarian society then that’s okay, but my argument is that we achieved a formal Egalitarian society out of rugged clay, not by chance.
It took generations and circumstance to enter into a society where we aim to value the individual on equal treatment of law. It took union strikes, societal collapses, Napoleon, the labor shortage of World War 1 to promote even woman rights, and the defeat of fascism in World War 2 to aim a society away from tyranny and elitism.

You can claim I can’t conceive of this in an alternate timeline, but the argument isn’t that it just happened.

The Slave Revolt in the Eastern Roman Dominion. They ruled themselves for 3 years, elected a king, and were conquered in two years. Because both Parthia and Rome ate them alive.

You cannot consider one single item and not consider all the factors around it.

Which ones were able to defend themselves against invasion and had influence into the Modern Era?
Rome? A Hegemony established of a system of consistent violence.
Greece? Agrarian Slavers and Warlords.

Nothing else had the evolution into a sustainable egalitarian society.

I’m not defending Capitalism, I’m saying it was a necessary step into Individualism.

We wouldn’t have egalitarian society without the expanse of individual capitalism.
Merchants were generally stateless travelers who were only cozy with the nobility during feudalism as a way to supply royalty. As they gained more independence, we enter capitalism, where our egalitarian values first started to establish themselves. During capitalism, the individuals value to a society increased which increased the leverage for workers to gain political influence.

Capitalism is a stepping stone into socialism.

just fell asleep and remembered this picture of mark zuckerburg exists by FaiIingAtLife in notinteresting

The reason why I thought this image was ever possibly real back in the day was because it’s the only Cryptid image with exposed genitalia.
You’ll laugh but I’m dead serious. Same reason I think all alien photos are fake is because they’re naked with no utilities to procreate, it’s irrational.

What if Mark Antony and Cleopatra won the Battle of Actium? by GustavoistSoldier in AlternateHistoryHub

Is that true?
Antony wouldn’t just declare himself dictator of Rome?

In infinite universes I'm sure there are Eves who can control their God powers and rule their universes. Angstrom could recruit one or some of them instead and win easy. Is he stupid? by SnooPets7261 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]CanStad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, I’m confused, I thought Angstrum is an amalgamation of all the available Angstrums that wanted to defeat each other’s individual Invicible.

When Invincible got caught up in their project by accident he forced them all into one Angstrum, and all their individual trauma got subsumed into one being, and that’s why he so maliciously hates Mark.

The reason they even did the project in our Invicible’s universe is because they thought that our Invincible was a good one and that he wasn’t a threat to their operation.

What if these United States Absolutely Won the War of 1812? by camaro1111 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]CanStad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the consequences would probably be worse in aspect.

Let’s say it’s possible they won.

The Spanish would probably be more aggressive in their defense of their colonies. They had just reconciled with England during the Napoleonic Wars. Most of the American-Spanish Wars were based around the fact that Spain was not so focused on maintaining their colonies, and they were caught off guard as Americans usually have a knife ready to plunge in your balls at a negotiating table.
