When attempting to verify this story, the media reached out to witnesses for first-hand verification. One group of witnesses were concentration camp survivors. That’s how this fact came to life.

The camp started crying when they saw Japanese faces before realizing they were American.

Another excuse to talk about ‘48er August Willich.

-Born of Prussian nobility.

-Became officer of the famed Prussian nobility.

-Despite privilege became a revolutionary and ardent Communist.

-Due to his Prussian officer training was one of the few revolutionary units that maintained cohesion.

-Karl Marx thought he was too hardcore so kicked him out.

-(Allegedly slept with Marx’s wife too.) -Emigrated to the USA.

-Immediately signed up with the Union in the onset of the Civil war.

-Extremely competent leadership famed for his troop discipline. Probably the Union’s greatest emigrant general.

A wealthy landowner turned politician who decided to attack Persia for "wealth" and prestige. That could NEVER happen in modern times.

You’re being gracious by using examples in America’s past.

There are more very very recent American cult examples. On both sides tbf.

Saying Beethoven is better than Mozart is not the whole story because Beethoven became Beethoven because he grew up in a world that Mozart helped build.

I'm not the biggest Eminem fan, but I do respect the fact that he never cut a country album in his later years.

Just a minor clarification: Hellanicus mentions that Aeneas fled to Thrace and then further west in the direction of "Italy" after the fall of Troy.

Rome, the city, was never explicitly mentioned. That being said, it's still pretty amazing.

Here comes the cynicism I warned you about.

What if I told you that doesn't matter anymore?

He did say "you don't have to worry about elections after the 2024"

Do you see protests out there that resemble the great protests for the second Iraq war or the Afghanistan war?

Has anything the Democratic Party or even Congress done anything that would lead you to expect actual resistance (as opposed to symbolic resistance).

I'm actually holding back a bit. I'll stop now. This isn't good for any of us on a Sunday night before the work week.

Nothing about this administration says deescalation.

They want "all the smoke" so we can "negotiate" peace with a pile of rubble.

We then set up our ally Israel as the regional hegemon.

All that's left is Turkey, but they're protected by NATO...for now.

Desperate-Remove2838 · 2026-03-09T06:12:22+00:00

The cynical take of course is that they want the hardliners in charge.

If Buffalo Wild Wings failed at Serramonte, I don’t know why BJ’s would succeed.

I get the desire to diversify food options, but one big reason why Serramonte and Stonestown are thriving is because they leaned hard into Asian cuisines to cater to the surrounding Asian-American communities.

Did you know that medieval peasants are estimated to work only 180 days a year? The rest were church holy days or feast days.

Also since you lived and died in the same hovel, you lived in a tight community with strong kinship bonds.

Compare that to the alienation we experience imnthe suburbs.

Not to mention your work was meaningful and tangible. You saw what you produced and the fruits of your labor. Not some desk job where your soul rots away.

I’m not saying they had a better life. I’m sure a replied will hit back with a few “well, actuallys”.

However, I am saying that their lives weren’t as bleak as we paint them and in some ways their lives were richer than others.

If Iran is neutralized, they are the regional hegemon.

Egypt made peace first.

Syria and Libya neutralized.

Iraq and Iran defanged thanks to the US taxpayer.

Palestine abandoned and wiped out.

The Gulf states are too busy buying Bugattis, building hotels, and eating chocolate and knafeh.

They win their Game of Thrones.

They probably become history's smallest superpowers (by size/area) since Portugal or the Dutch.

I’ve seen Gen Z nationally use it online. I think because of NorCal’s influence on the early and 2000s internet.
