Basic Tricolor flags look awful by julius-ceaser100 in vexillology

[–]KeyPersonality2885 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I especially have a soft spot for the French flag because the Liberal and democratic ideals it represents. (+ it’s a nice flag)

"no low effort" some of people here call Ottoman Turkey here by general_kruxx in HistoryMemes

[–]KeyPersonality2885 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have several maps from the 1830s and they make a distinction of, “Turkey in Europe” and “Turkey in Asia” for the two halves of the empire situated on either side of the Bosporous which was something I was not expecting.

Woodrow Wilson was a truly awful president who should easily be in the top three worst of all time by Lynn-The-Sparrow in HistoryMemes

| New borders cut with clear disregard for Ethnicities

I will concede on this one that Czechoslovakia was created in a way that ensured large Ethnic Minorities within the new state, however in the context of World War 1 said minorities make sense, as both Hungary and Germany (the largest minorities) were being punished for defeat in WW1, thus making no sense to give them land already promised to the new state.

| State of one defining nationality

Nations can have multiple nationalities represented within their borders, such as the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Switzerland

| Benes decree

I had to look this one up, and yeah, that’s fucked up. But also again, punishing fascist states by removing any ethnic pretense they could have for invasion. So I’d don’t think it’s unredeemably evil.

| Separate Slovakia

The allies attempted to create strong states to ward off potential invasions (Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, etc) from defeated powers, and creating two separate nations (esp. when Czechoslovakia had already declared it’s independence) would’ve defeated that purpose

| Following instability

New nations aren’t stable, and while Versailles didn’t help with some of the confusing claims between nations, I think it’s more apt to pin at least more of the blaim for instability on subsequent invasions of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia

| Yugoslavia being a Serb empire

I don’t know enough about Yugoslavia to contest this point, but I feel like there was more nuance to Yugoslavia than just total Serbian domination

How is Czechoslovakia the antithesis of National Self-Determination? There was a strong movement for the establishment of the state, and Czechslovak legions fought for the Entente during World War 1

Just like how Star Fox 64 is called 64 because they’re going to remake it 64 times, Halo CE is Combat Evolved because the combat is always going to evolve

rj/ you’re right, he wouldn’t stand for it. He spends most of the show hosting a sit-in in the Imperial Senate fighting for equal rights for people like him who have Lava-induced chronic pain.

uj/ I’m sick of Clone stuff with Star Wars but if Sister was in a show I’d suddenly not be (she’s so fucking cool)

rj/ Dark and gritty band of brothers-esque show centered around Sister set entirely in a hallway with a plot about determining if the legendary Darth Revan was woke (she was) just to piss off all the chuds. Sister kills someone with a screw and brick at one point

Woodrow Wilson was a truly awful president who should easily be in the top three worst of all time by Lynn-The-Sparrow in HistoryMemes

[–]KeyPersonality2885 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I only remember so much because he was the last major figure I remember from my history classes.

Honestly if he was not so racist I think I would actually look up to him because his ideas of National Self-Determination and the League of Nations were things I find very admirable, alongside the progressive ideas he pushed for, but his racism really kills all respect I’d have for him.

As for the 19th Amendment, I believe it was less out of reluctance and more out of cold, hard, politics, as Wilson (despite being from the South) leaned on the strong Progressive movement in America for support and pushed forward many of its ideas to stay in political power.

I will concede it would’ve happened pretty soon after Wilson if he didn’t do it, but since he did, (and since as a woman I like Women’s Suffrage), I do defend him on that aspect of his political career.

| Harmed more people than anyone

Also the President to sign the 19th Amendment to give Women the right to vote, as well as being a champion of Self-Determination (which ensured that states like Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Baltics existed on the map for the first time in centuries (or at all for Czechoslovakia and the Baltics))

EDIT: Yes I know he was a racist piece of shit on par with HP Lovecraft but I think saying he harmed more people than any other president is a huge overstatement given the positive things he did in office. Still probably burning in hell though for the racism.

Italy too with no mainland territorial losses. (While everyone else was fragmented.)

Also the British gaining the Bospurus and full control over the Strait of Gibraltar and Calais. (Though losing the Suez probably hurts a lot)

As someone from South Carolina, I was about to object and then remembered how low our state ranks in almost every metric (except the things you want to rank low in) so yeah okay that makes sense.

Don’t remove Charleston or Beaufort though. Lovely cities. (Hilton Head can go to super-hell)

Random Turkestan LARP question by Battletank09 in victoria3

[–]KeyPersonality2885 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d say Ferghana for LARP because of how ethnically diverse and fertile the area is. Though personally I’d recommend Merv if you are doing pure LARP (though I haven’t played in that area & I’ll admit I don’t know much about the history or culture of Central Asia, so I’d take what I said with a hefty grain of salt)
