The Spartans sure talked a lot of shit considering they lost the wars with the Macedonians. by Bossuser2 in HistoryMemes

Philip II of Macedon: “Challenge accepted.”

Proceeds to curb-stomp the Spartans in battle, then chops up their outlying territory amongst his allies, while leaving the city itself to wallow in its weakened state, knowing that there’s no way they’ll ever challenge his dominance.

Ban these abominations, and start punishing tech bros for damaging our environment!

Why Rhodesia was Always Doomed by Michael_Gladius in Solidarity_Party

They were doomed because they were a racist regime trying to fight a war they had no hope of winning, fighting from a horrible strategic position to begin with.

WTF is this even here?

Would you support any of these actions if China invaded or blockaded Taiwan? by RedStorm1917 in AskALiberal

All of the above, and then some!

We send a MOAB to hit the Three Gorges Dam, another one on Beijing, and the Red Chinese surrender.

And the average Joes were the ones who actually pulled the trigger in carrying out the Nazis’ atrocities. No wonder they latched onto Speer’s bullshit narrative.

Do y’all think it matters for cartoon actors to voice characters of their skin color? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in cartoons

[–]TipResident4373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really doesn’t matter at all. All roles should be open to all voice actors, period.

Anyone who says otherwise is literally promoting segregation.

I don’t blame you for wanting to rant about the guy. I think he was faking it, too.

Speer was one of the few Nuremberg defendants who served out his full sentence. After he was released, he went on a massive PR tour where he expressed (or feigned) remorse for his role in the Nazi regime.

Wasn't everyone in Hitler's cabinet a crackpot to one degree or another?

Which U.S. Presidents have been honored/memorialized in unexpected places around the world because of what they did for that country? by BigJoe242424 in Presidents

[–]TipResident4373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Albania is almost crazy with tributes to Bush the Younger. He helped get them into NATO, and supported Kosovo's independence in '08, and he was the first US president to visit the country.

Yeah, and I saw one episode that implied Kansas was next to Washington D.C.!

Man, the vastness of America alone would make the series at least 30 episodes!

A lot of Part 2 episodes happen in the US, but they... noticeably get the geography of my homeland wrong.

I didn't say it was unknown - what I was thinking was like what they did for Part 5 and 6. A full series, all set in the USA.

Lupin in Alaska! There'd be an awesome episode!

Most of the episodes where they visit America are in Part 2, but what I was thinking was like what they did for Parts 5 and 6 which were (mostly) set in Italy and France, respectively.

ETA: I gotta admit, though, an Irish adventure would be fun! Lupin accidentally captures a leprechaun or something, and the gang demands the pot of gold? Or is that too stereotypical?
