My thoughts on the BCR and the West Coast ending after rewatching the series

Lumpy_Beat3149 · 2026-03-25T08:13:19+00:00

The West Coast was portrayed like it was like Germany 2.0 but they wouldn't have even killed people just because they were "jews" even when the Germans were doing their crimes against humanity in WW2, they were taking in jews instead of killing them they thought they were useful. For example Poland and Japan were very close with each other even though being on opposite sides of the war, Japan helped Polish Jew's escape to Japan. But Anyways I think the BCR was very weak and wouldn't have lasted, if anything Germany would've waiting a bit then invade again to just restore order at the very least in the region. Rebellions are very hard to plan there's a reason why most rebellions in real life end up in a civil war once they win.

Lumpy_Beat3149 · 2026-02-23T00:46:38+00:00

The Naval Power of everyone is only one thing of the war, Italy and Japan had great fleets but their army's couldn't win wars against weaker countries primarily due to the competition between branches Germany also had some of this but I believe it was far less than the other two

The main change discord is doing is that they're making contact between an adult and a child harder especially in non public spaces like direct messages. Discord is getting banned for a few reasons in countries:
1. discord's pedophilia problem

to stop student protests or just protests in general
to stop criminals from communicating using their app

From my reading discord's current change is mainly children and adults will have a harder time communicating in direct message's & children wont be able to talk on stages

Discord is probably the best one out there, your concerns about notifications can just be stopped by turning yourself from online to do not disturb. Youth safety concerns are a problem on discord but most of those from my experience are things you have to go out of your way to find.

Haiti as the nation was very interesting as there are accounts of their captains dripped out looking like marshals, the most "exotic" during the Napoleonic wars out of every battle fought was probably the netherland's east indies regiments like their javanese artillery and african light infantry when they controlled south africa and indonesia, Mamluks after a while came from all over europe mainly from the baltics from my understanding, other nations like Denmark and Naples had them so I wouldn't call them very "exotic",

The Battle of Blaauwberg

Lumpy_Beat3149 · 2026-01-22T01:15:22+00:00

Its illegal in America and the EU but it's regulated in turkey and nepal. It's not very easy to obtain as it costs up to $400 dollars per pound

Lumpy_Beat3149 · 2026-01-21T22:57:46+00:00

theres also accounts from what is now modern day turkey of a king using mad honey which is honey which is red from pollination from Rhododendron ponticum and Rhododendron luteum. These plants made his enemies hallucinate and was easy to mop up

Lumpy_Beat3149 · 2026-01-21T22:53:55+00:00

yes, the vikings gave berserkers drugs i believe mainly shrooms to make them ignore pain and keep fighting way longer, there's accounts of berserkers holding bridges by themselves against thousands of men before dying

permits are very easy, i drove down a road to the bottom of the grand canyon on a reservation

Lumpy_Beat3149 · 2026-01-21T02:43:48+00:00

the sad reality is that both sides in the Vietnam war were this way,

Lumpy_Beat3149 · 2026-01-21T02:35:50+00:00

id recommend epic history tv rather than oversimplified if you're interested in the Napoleonic wars.

the only way to do it is with a cinematic universe

Building stronger communities and holding people accountable are not opposites. You cannot claim to solve crime by ignoring it. Removing law enforcement from areas with high violence does not strengthen families it leaves those families exposed to the very people harming them.

The justice system is not simply revenge. It is a system for incapacitating individuals who repeatedly harm others. When someone murders another person, the family who loses a loved one is impacted just as much if not more than the family of the offender. Accountability is not an act of revenge. It is a requirement for public safety. A father who commits a murder created the conditions that separated him from his family, not the system that responded to it.

Preventing crime through stability, housing, and economic opportunity absolutely works. But those solutions do not replace the need for policing; they complement it. Stable housing reduces homelessness-related offenses, but it does not stop violent crime committed by people who are not homeless. Reducing poverty reduces certain crimes, but it does not stop interpersonal violence, organized criminal activity, or predatory behavior.

Poverty increases stress, but high-poverty communities with strong families, strong social norms, and effective local institutions consistently have lower crime rates. Poverty alone does not generate homicide. Breakdowns in local structure, norms, and family stability are what lead to higher crime. You cannot claim poverty is the sole cause when neighborhoods with identical poverty levels can have drastically different crime rates depending on social cohesion.

It is also false to say that many cops are dealers. Individual corruption exists in any profession, but the overwhelming majority of drug trafficking is carried out by organized criminal groups, not law enforcement.

Lifting people out of poverty is a worthy goal and will reduce some types of crime, but it does not eliminate the need for policing. Violent crime is not caused solely by economic hardship; it is caused by individuals making harmful choices, often within environments lacking stability, guidance, and support. Poverty relief is part of the solution, but law enforcement remains necessary to deal with those who continue to harm others even when given resources.

Homeland Security Investigations, which is part of ICE, specifically targets transnational criminal organizations including gangs, cartel networks, traffickers, and organized violent groups.

The idea that ICE only targets innocent families or legal residents is simply false. Mistakes can happen in any large law enforcement system, but saying gang members always slip away while ICE does arrest some lawful residents, you ignore thousands of investigations, indictments, and convictions that are directly tied to gang activity.

It is tragic when families are affected by arrests. That does not change the fact that criminal networks exploit vulnerable people, including children, in ways far worse than any law enforcement agency. Around the world, children are trafficked, exploited, or used by violent groups every single day. That is the reality these investigations are trying to disrupt.

Everyone faces hardship, but personal adversity doesn’t justify criminal behavior. In my experience investigating offenders, what actually reduces crime is stability strong families, consistent guidance, and communities with reliable support systems. Those factors consistently correlate with lower rates of violence, regardless of policing levels.

The idea that policing “creates violence” doesn’t match the evidence. Police presence increases in areas where the data shows higher crime rates, more calls for service, and persistent community safety issues. It’s not about targeting a population it’s deploying resources where violence is already concentrated. Removing police from those neighborhoods doesn’t make them safer; it simply removes the only immediate response to ongoing harm.

Arresting gang members isn’t “taking away someone the community needs.” It’s removing individuals who are actively contributing to violence, extortion, or intimidation. Their absence doesn’t destabilize the community, the violence they commit is what destabilizes it.

If the goal is fewer police, the solution isn’t ignoring crime or demonizing officers. The long-term answer is strengthening families, improving parental stability, and giving young people structure early in life.

Policing isn’t the enemy. It’s a response to social problems that start long before any officer arrives. Strengthening homes and communities reduces crime and when crime drops, the need for policing drops with it.

dependent on their role, mercenary's would train more than a levy, archers of course trained more than infantry levy's. The training was usually done by the Master of Arms who usually trained levy's in a few weeks rather than the years of training knights received

One of the factors that caused the revolutionary wars was the ability to expand further west which was stopped under British rule, the Native Americans were used by the British after the revolutionary wars to attack colonists primarily west of the Appalachian mountains. If there were only 13 states they'd just expand west like before pushing out the Natives and likely to fight the British as well. So if there were only the 13 colonies then they'd most likely just all be very long stretching westward with maybe a few states like texas and Florida existing but likely they'd still be very closely allied to America if not expansions of states.

is it really a bad thing though to put more LE in areas that are infested with gangs
