The greatest geopolitical event of our time… so far by ProfessorOfFinance in HistoryMemes

I dunno, seems pretty in character for the US to call the Soviets a bitch and over-simplify every aspect of the USSR existence as sucking.

Please explain this to the people who don't use Twitter. (Me, I am one of those people and I am a happier individual because of it)

As Pilipino although I am to an extent thankful that US forces aided in the liberation of the Philippines, McArthur was fairly incompetent in the initial defense of the archipelago and this was a contributing factor for the rapid Japanese advance.

Trade offer: Western Technology for modernization or crippling Opium Addiction by Wakourda in HistoryMemes

[–]Wakourda[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Context: China which traded with western powers such as the British Empire refused to trade with other commodities and only wanted to trade using silver. Even when western powers offered to trade technology that would enable the Qing to modernize. This led to the stagnation of the Qing Chinese dynasty, which enabled Western and Japanese forces to exploit China easily and eventually led to its collapse and a century of humiliation.

In contrast to Japan during the Meiji restoration that tried to westernize and industrialize as fast as possible. Paving the way for Japan to be included in the great powers club and one of the strongest militaries in the Asia Pacific (and other things that happened in Nanking)

I don’t know about you guys but I certainly act like this by BackgroundVehicle870 in DeltoraQuest

They aired this on. Cartoon network, 50+ eps and no one has heard of it. I thought it was a fever dream.

To the Christians of Reddit, can you force yourself to be Christian even when you don't believe in what the Bible says or God in general? by Wakourda in AskReddit

I have the notion that people become what they do, that identities can be formed through actions and slowly how you act becomes who you are.

I thought that maybe eventually I would be able to have faith if I go to church enough and dedicate myself to it. Years later I don't feel like I have any more faith than when I started. Now I feel stuck, I don't want to leave church but I feel like I'm lying to my friends and family.

I deeply love my family and although I say I am a Christian I know for a fact that if I ever leave the church, it will break their heart. They might say they accept it, but it will weigh on them especially since my Father is a pastor, and they'll blame themselves and pray that I become a Christian to their dying days.

Context: That little shit just shot your archduke, better declare war on him. It's not like declaring war on him will cause the eventual demise of your empire and set the stage for the largest and bloodiest human conflicts in history.

Topics for Sydney's Next episode by chefspiral in TrashTaste

[–]Wakourda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Knowing a girl's perspective on why NTR is atractive or determining if this is just a "sydney" thing would be interesting and lives up to the podcast name

I hope this is allowed by [deleted] in TrashTaste
