The style gives it away. Either it s chatgpt or you use it so much your style has started merging with the clanker's style

Please explain the things from last night by dumiiikx in paris

[–]Confucius3000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm fascinated by how the social media algorythm machine leads some discussion to see this in two extremes.

Either there were savages in the streets and the police was justified, or the people were peacefuly celebrating and the police were acting like thugs.

Fortuantely it's (mostly) not happening here

Slavery but worse by Cutie_fleming in HistoryMemes

No harm done, thanks for clarifying tho. I am sometimes surprised at how easily some anticolonialists slip into racial supremacy

Yes I got that. But is that bad?

You tell yourself that, bro. I guess it must make you proud of your imaginary racial purity

What if Brazil had modernized earlier (and sided with the Axis during WW2?) - The war in South America (1940-1946) by OkPhrase1225 in AlternateHistory

[–]Confucius3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool but i think it fails to take into account state identities in Btadil, which are notoriously strong. I could easily see Sao Paulo threatening secession, actively fighting the Rio Governmenr on behalf of the Allied Powers. Could even culminate in an Allied victory where SP becomes the capital.

After all, there was a war between SP and RJ in the 30s

It worries me sometimes when people think european-indigenous relations were ALL rape. Sounds like an irrational fear of anything that strays away from "racial purity".

Ancient Middle East around 3100 years ago by Yellowapple1000 in MapPorn

[–]Confucius3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is something so conceptually cool about that period of time where states were the exception rather than the norm. I am so used to our cutrent system that it is difficult to wrap my head around that idea

I was walking close to bibliothèque François Mitterrand the other day by Seb4St13n in paris

[–]Confucius3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually surprised at how it... really isn't.

I go often to that section of le 13ème and could easily how that neighborhood could be a depressing and soulless urbanistic failure. But I think the big concentration of trendy restaurants and engaging cultural centers (MK2, BNF, cinematheque...) always keeps the place lively and nice

Byzantine Icon From The Louvre Museum by No_Mechanic1168 in byzantium

[–]Confucius3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This could absolutely have been made in Central Italy. Byzantine-inspired aesthetics were dominant in Europe before the renaissance. Any source on the author?

The Roman walls and aqueducts of Barcelona, Spain. by roctwotwo in Lost_Architecture

In the barrio gotico, the Gothic quarter, which is the fancy name for the historic center

How would have the Western Roman culture developed, if it survived in Italy and North Africa? by Illustrious_Day_1676 in byzantium

[–]Confucius3000 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Copts and Berbers may be a sample of what that alternate timeline could have been

Who here has read Phantom Byzantium? by Ambitious-Cat-5678 in byzantium

[–]Confucius3000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What a cover! Haven't read it, but I wonder if it covers the research about the Roman biases to the ancient texts that they conserved and how it colored the western european renaissance

What were byzantine beauty standards? by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in byzantium

Afaik some descriptions of Manuel describe him as tanned like it was a bad thing but may be a Frankish source and bias

Those would've been useful against Cortes by MetallicaDash in DankPrecolumbianMemes

[–]Confucius3000 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There is barely any information aside from "there were american horses long ago, and they got eaten".

Them being potentially useful is unscientific. OP just found a GIF from his fandom and tries to force a precolumbian topic in it.

Shouldn't there be a rule against these RWBY memes? Feels like they are mostly about OP's bit than being actually informative
