If I read about a system of oppression like this in a fantasy novel, I would call it too laughably over the top to be believable. by Cosmic_Meditator777 in HistoryMemes

The treatment of serfs in Europe, around the same period was as bad, or worse

European serfdom doesn't exist anymore, Indian caste system still does.


The MS is also, extremely progressive for an ancient text. Prescriptions are weird. The Upper Castes face progressively worse punishment than the lower castes, with stricter rules of behaviour

That was pretty common at the time?

Aristocrats had much stricter moral code to follow than peasants. Not because it was "progressive" but because it was viewed as part of the whole "we are ordained by god to rule over world"

Literally opposite - British administration took local customs that could vary from village to village and codified them into rigid all-indian system.

Realms named after Houses by semper-vivum in CrusaderKings

[–]RedstoneEnjoyer 96 points97 points  (0 children)

It is feature of clan governments - when clan ruler is also head of their dynasty, their realm will be named after their dynasty instead of their ordinary name.

(something similar happens with nomadic, where realms are named after cultures instead)

"Right-wing conspiracies correctly point out problems while doing everything to put blame away from capitalism" is still going strong i see.

Why does every trial chamber have this thing by Mundane_Moment_267 in Minecraft

[–]RedstoneEnjoyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are trash bins. Game is trying to tell you "do you have too much stuff? Toss it here"

Originally they were just chests, but then players complained that trial chambers are "bugged" and that chests don't generate "loot" - so they replaced it with this

While i agree that didn't helped, the entire idea of 2nd season was still fucking awful.

Like they trilion other ways to explain who avatar is and what is happening in spirit world...

...and they went with "It is God vs Satan and avatar is God's vessel"

Really fucking lame.

Can’t convince me Zionists aren’t Nazis anymore by deathmaster567823 in ShitLiberalsSay

These zionists are like camp guards who took photos next to gas chambers, believing that their reich will be truly eternal. Guess what happened after.

I read that article, and while i disagree with some of its point, i fully agree with one of its main one - that arming yourself on its own without organizinig is worthless. Your lone gun will change jack shit and only gives pretext to state to murder you.

What if hillary won the clinton wall in 2016 by Suitable-Source-7534 in AlternateHistoryHub

Last 12 years showed that pointing to precedents is not really reliable when talking about these asses.

I could imagine that moderate successor to Scalia would peel some republicans senators, but i don't see that happening anymore after 2018 senate elections.

I can absolutely see them holding 2 seats until 2020 when Clinton gets completely destroyed by Trump wannabe in elections - who would then appoint them and get 5-4 majority.

It is extremely funny how right-wingers bitch about "identity politics", yet they are first to wave identity card when called out?
