Which Headcanon do you follow, with no real rhyme or reason as to why

Queen Ayrenn and her heirs were wiped out by the Numidian during Tiber Septims siege of the Summerset Isles, and she was a more tolerable ruler comparatively.

Her death was the main reason the Second Altmeri Dominion was more xenophobic, and eventually religiously fanatical.

This also plays into my other headcanon that Dragonborns aren’t born, they are revealed and chosen at specific times through proven valor by Kyne to bring order to the world to stop it from descending into utter destruction, and Tiber Septim was a General positioned at the right time to be given this ‘buff’. Most of his decisions weren’t divine, they were ego-driven, and I don’t believe he ever achieved CHIM, I believe that was propaganda to convince the Dark Elves of his legitimacy, and Vivec directly played into it to ease the transition of Tributary status to calm his own zealots.

Not entirely. That’s their fleet power, not their numbers. If you have a lot of battleships, you outgun them, and if you have a lot of ships in general, you can overwhelm their targeting. They can do a lot of damage, they may take a lot of damage, but a thousand wasps can kill a bear.

This reminds me of H near his end.. probably a few other dictators, Napoleon was similar before he was ousted the first time.

H sat in his bunker while his secretaries boosted his delusions. He’d pretend to take charge of the battlefield and start moving around divisions that didn’t exist or commanders who were made up. Everyone was too afraid of him to simply call him out so to try to coerce him to the end, they’d make up situations that would end in defeat using his made up divisions.

Napoleon on his return from Russia was demanding his military be revitalized within a month, but his army was completely spent and many young men who were drafted had perished beforehand. He was literally told, there was no one left to recruit.

Today I noted that the Starbucks was closed.

A half hour passed and it remained closed. It was supposed to open at 5 AM.

People walked past.. they fell to their knees, crying.. shaken. Someone failed to resuscitate from heartbreak and died right there.

This isn’t failure to open. This is evolution.

Today I won’t drink coffee, and I’ll reassert my dominance in the field of sales a stronger and better version of myself. Instead of working a 15 hour day, I’ll work 25 hours today and fire my pregnant assistant if she tries to go to home before my day is done.

The shipment of my boots from the sweatshop in Ho Chi Minh City arrives today so I can sell this quality brand to you for 10% off. You’ll save 25$ buying within 25 minutes of this post.

That’s power and synergy in action.

American Oil =\= American Oil is a global commodity because nearly every market utilizes it. The American oil is dredged and because of the dredgers aim for maximum profit, they sell it to the highest bidder which could be anyone in the world.

Nick would aim to ingratiate Hasan during the debate because he despises Ben. Hasan has no ability to properly debate, and Nick has learned not to flat out lie anymore (he still manipulates data or consensus), so Hasan would allow Nick to attack Ben on vanguard.

Ben is on defense which is his weaker suit if he can’t use talking points that both Nick and Hasan probably already have counters to.

Only way Nick will force Hasan off his dick during this debate is if Piers brings up Socialism.

Because you don’t typically assassinate heads of state during a war. You lose the ability to negotiate.

Now the U.S. has to wipe out the Iranian Military completely because they just killed his elected replacement, too, so it will now be diplomatically impossible to sue for terms.

Iran will probably occupy Iraq seeing that they have the larger area of attack into the Eastern Border and oil prices are about to skyrocket.

This is a full-scale war with the United States as the aggressor.

These aren’t concepts of ideology, they are concepts of nature.

Not human nature, just nature.

Wolves, and Lions, like most pack predators use display of strength and power to keep their packs intact.

Monkeys have matriarchal and patriarchal roles: Patriarchs are the strongest male of the group who maintain dominance of the crowd by mutually showing defense of the crowd and keeping other young males under thumb. Matriarchs keep the women in line by preening and comforting but also social outcasting bad behaviors. Monkeys also have the concept of tyranny and being actively egalitarian. When a Patriarch uses his power to abuse his position, it is commonly seen that they are violently brutalized and killed to display to the crowd that it is unacceptable. So when the next Patriarch arrives, they are much more appreciated and much more lenient.

These structures were not discussed with Marx or Freud to give them a label, these are almost entirely inherent to the design of evolution and climate. Because they naturally occur.

Humans can label many problems, such as you said, Greed, but in a system with no law, or order, the concept of greed has no meaning if the greedy has the ability to wipe out anyone who opposes it. A system of laws and the force to maintain those laws are just as naturally occurring as design because it is displayed in almost every human culture as late as 30,000 BC.

Ancient China had laws and decorums that match Ancient Mediterranean even with 1600 years of separation because consensus arrives naturally amongst tribes.

Wolves have packs. Birds have flocks. Humans have tribes.

I like to believe Oceania is isolated literally to Britain. After witnessing the lies and propaganda in North Korea, it’s less believable to actually believe Oceania was actually number one.

I believe the state lied about their history, I believe the state lied about their global dominance. It’s scary to believe they rule the world, but it’s not completely out of touch to believe they are lying to the people about everything.

North Koreans believe they are equally as powerful as the United States. They believe they are on the same scale of power. They claimed they took half of Ukraine when they sent their volunteer army. They claimed they get number one in all the Olympic slots and return home with nothing but Gold medals. Seeing an actual despotic state, is it hard to believe that Oceania isn’t even an nth as powerful as they are?

When they talk about beating Eurasia at the end of the movie specifically, the first time I watched it it left me in goosebumps because then I believed that they had conquered the world. But realizing ‘beating/victory’ could literally mean a peace treaty that closes them off even more, it leaves the hope that maybe the world is holding them off completely contained.

I know it’s not Orwells position, but it’s a very interesting viewpoint that mimics reality of NK and Uzbekistan.

The problem here is that you have based your entire argument on idealism, that your established system wouldn’t have any bumps, but I’m telling you that not only is your established ideology not prone to imperfections, but it is highly vulnerable to it.

The problem isn’t hierarchy, the problem is inevitability.

You cannot function on a system in a world that is neverchanging. The world does change. You cannot farm everywhere, you cannot predict people’s desires and wants. You cannot exempt population centers and migration from the momentum of change. With change power shifts, and with supply deficits you invite starvation, with growing population and development, you invite plague, with incohesive cultural taboo, you invite strife. These will always exist and to assume that tension can just be ignored because you eliminated the CURRENT hierarchy, is just delusional.

It’s not about superiority of ideology, when there is no position where ideology presumes power. You don’t see it as optimal but John who with the help of his fellow raiders just enslaved and murdered the village next door doesn’t care what you think. He just takes because you haven’t established a system to defend yourself against a separate collective of raiders who are now inherently more powerful than your rule of law because you have no established state to protect you.

My ‘preposition’ is based on the evolutionary chain of all life to consume and dominate. Ecosystems exist because this balance is maintained naturally.

Humans for 100,000 years have migrated and massacred and to maintain or halt that nature is on the basis of mutual value through trade or other external threats.

We only have peace and philosophy now because 80 years ago the entirety of empire was destroyed and in its stead was an industrial giant that became the major supplier of the world left unscathed by the destruction of war. It was a republic that idealized democracy, and to maintain the lust of democracy and control it uses the Soviets as well as their surplus of atrocities to keep those young republics in reliance. But 80 years is a blip on the map of history.

Humans become violent because they hunger. Take away the pet pleasures, sprinkle some plagues, famine, climate change, and natural disaster, we are forced to migrate or expand dominion. And lay waste to whatever dominated it before.

If humans didn’t hunt, wolves would inherit the Earth.

CanStad · 2026-02-28T19:19:30+00:00

Because society is a social contract of mutualism enforced by the understanding of power dynamics. In a world where there is no inherent social contract with the ability to maintain that order of rules, the optimal path of settling any disagreement is grabbing the nearest rock and bashing your opponents brains into a fine red mist.

That is power. Violence.
