  1. The wackiest thing is having English poet Byron joining in as a volunteer, financing a unit of Albanians, and dying there because stupid doctors bled him with dirty instruments.

  2. Before Sengoku era, yes, but by the 16th century most samurai transitioned to being lancers, and wars were led by pike and musket formations. Archery became very limited and only filled the ranks between ashigaru spearmen. BUSHIDO though, was a codex invented WAY later in Edo period when horses, spears and bows were all phased out and swords became more a status symbol than a weapon of war.

  3.  Abraham Campos  knocking door opens Do you want to have a talk about maiden-eating and burninating in the name of our lord and saviour, Trogdor?

  4. Yeah for how much they try to modernize this series, take on patriarchy and all, somehow they forgot the nationalist supremacy shtick with calling non-titular-nations "barbarian". I mean, those peoples had actual names! It's like calling Iroquois and Sioux "Indians".

  5. Well, aboriginals eating Cook as they mistook him for ship's cook (who was rumoured to be tasty) is probably the most famous Soviet era bard song. Seriously.

  6. The so-called russian "culture" is Mongol hordes who invaded Kyiv NOT KIEV like 300 years ago, imagine telling people to praise the imperialist mass murdering war criminals literally during a genocide they do. Cultural genocide as well, as russians not only kill Ukrainians but also destroy Ukraine's landmarks and burn Ukrainian books and torture people for speaking the language.

  9.  @jjsmith7707  not equally, socialists didn't really have money for ammunition, so Ukrainians were lined up to shoot two heads with one bullet. How's that for socialism, eh? Kazakhs were also starved to "russify" the region. Because speaking a non-russian language was "too bourgeois". ALL Crimean Tatars were deported from Crimea to russia. In cattle wagons. Standing up so tight they couldn't move. Most died on the way. The few survivors' grandchildren returned to their home in 2000s... only for moscow to invade again in 2014. So no, people didn't starve equally, look up Holodomor and Executed Renaissance. There was a specific racial hierarchy in Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. If you were not russian enough, you were declared a class enemy.

  10. Yup, that's our Saint Olha. Yes, seriously.

  11. So who colonized Australia, took the Aboriginal land, and then voted in white supremacists, THE MARTIANS?! All these arguments about "blame the government not the people" ignore who enables that government.

  13. About "hatred of the sinner rather than the sin", that's NOT in the Bible, Jesus Christ never taught people to hate the sin, only hypocrites and phrarisees. Only ones Jesus attacked were the self-righteous bigots, the persecution of "sinners" is completely contrary to Christian teaching, where Jesus dined with prostitutes and even... shudders... tax collectors.

  14. Another vote for Heian Japan, we have oversaturation with Sengoku, and Japan has tons of media around Edo and Boshin War, older periods are overlooked.

  15. True. There's a speech in a House of Lords by Lord Byron where he spoke against the bill literally sentencing luddites to death for breaking property. He wasn't against industrial revolution, but against that state and society that left people so miserable: working was hard and hazardous, but they had no other options, and were left even without that.

  16. Jealousy IS something someone who was an adulterer himself would project, that's true, Othello's final speeches have plenty of self-deprecation. It makes Iago even more devilish, instead of making schemes on his own, he uses Othello's faults as a person (jealous, vindictive, violent), if you imagine Iago as a demon playing with his mind, the story becomes even more interesting.

  17. Austen is part of Realism genre and Brontes are from Romanticism. So they're the opposite corners of 19th century English romance literature.

  20. ​ @tyrant-den884  I honestly like both? Hardly anything can best a Caesar for garnish, but Napoleon has to be my absolute favorite thing with coffee, it's so simple, layers upon layers of custard. The cake equivalent of eclairs... Okay, the Kyiv cake with meringue is close. Roshen style... Wait the company is named after our ex president... okay, I just hope we don't make a Zelenskyy salad or something. Then again, Canadians actually eat poutine...

  21. Finally! Now do Polidori's the Vampyre and explain its link to Frankenstein. Also Carmilla so we can link Dracula, Fran and Elizabeth Bathory together.

  24. 5:40 False, Kyiv church adopted Gregorian calendar in 2023 and Moscow STILL USES JULIAN TO THIS DAY. The Moscow patriarchate churches in Ukraine have two days, one normal and other in brackets for the church calendar. 14 days off. Still is.

  25. You ignore the fact that 100 years war was a thing, as well as other longer conflicts, and in Europe we didn't have so many dead until a century ago.

  26. Fate Grand Order currently has a re-run of a Halloween event where Cleo teams up with Liz Bathory, Wu Zetian (only Chinese woman ruler) and Amazoness com CEO (Penthesilea, not Bezos) who delivers items to NEET princess Japanese yokai spirit in Csejte Pyramid Himeji Castle. There's also a bunch of robot Elizabeths. With rocket arms. And a biker. Your party also can be a thing.)))

  27. What peace? Countries that Mongols invaded had constant wars for centuries. War literally didn't stop here since Mongol hordes destroyed Kyiv.

  29. In fact they fled England to Netherlands because the Dutch were the only people tolerant enough to accept them AND THEN hated the Dutch FOR their tolerance and decided to just colonize foreign land instead LARPing as Israelis despite totally not being those, and Massachusetts being pretty far from Jordan.

  30.  @DeconusMaximus  Mujaheddin fought against Soviet invasion... the Taliban are russia-backed insurgency AGAINST pro-western Afghanistanis after the biggest country in the world, USSR, lost the war and was destroyed completely and irreversibly by a bunch of Afghan peasants with rusty rifles.

  31.  @Ake-TL  we don't know how tanned they were. However, modern Egyptians literally have almost the same DNA (ancient ones mixed with other peoples too), so just look at modern population of Egypt to compare, seriously. Genetically, they are mostly North Africans like Libyans and Tunisians with little West Asian admix, while Jews and Arabs are west Asians, so not quite as related as we think. Also, ancient society had no racial segregation so families were mixing a lot, a lot of Greek men married Egyptian women, either were adopting Persian culture to serve in cavalry and officially listed as Iranians. Plus one of Cleo's ancestors married a woman from Seleucids in Syria, so she HAD mixed blood despite all the incest! Also Alex is supposed to be kinda pale and fair-haired if we go by his mosaic, while the only colored contemporary images of Cleopatra show her with RED hair, but that might be artistic license. TBH I am happy they did her with correct hairstyle! Ramses had red hair though. Dyed on his mummy.

  34.  @supremekhmer6596  feha92 also literally used Civilization terms, all resources divided between strategic and luxury is from that. IRL it's more complex than that. Now ways to rush a wonder differ between each game in series and Civ.

  35. The russians just blew a dam in Kherson. None of international orga reacted or helped. Red cross, UN, PETA, they're all covering up russian war crimes. We have animals, houses and corpses of russian soldiers washing up a shore in Odesa and nobody helps our efforts! Ukrainians are cleaning up russian mess again, on our own.

  36. 1:44 Ah yes, the narrative of RUSSIANS as the victims when so many government finally recognize the Holodomor, as one of MANY crimes against humanity Stalin did to UKRAINIANS, whom he killed by literally millions.

  37. Same in Ukraine, and I assume any country in Europe. Also photos are banned in booths so people won't sell their votes.

  39.  @Pavlos_Charalambous  I think that's exactly the point of OP, Greek gods being much more... human, while Egyptians, for example, had a dog-headed Anubis weighing hearts to Maat feather so that the heavy ones would be eaten by a hippo-bodies goddess with a head of a crocodile. And they did things like that just because, as omnipotent but aloof wise beings, especially compared to VERY human emotion and motivations of lustful, jealous or angry Greek gods. To an extent, the most similar characters in the Bible aren't any sort of gods, even pagan ones, but... actual people. Patriarchs and matriarchs: Hera and Athena seem much closer to Sarah or Rachel than to Ishtar or Iset.

  40. Romanticizing is a very mild word for a guy who listed amount of cats and dogs he shot for fun to be literally declared a saint and anyone talking bad of his family arrested in russia on religious grounds "оскорбление чуств верующих", the "offending believers" criminal offense. They also have a cult of Ivan the Terrible and Stalin because out of all rulers they had to pick the worst to justify the current regime. None of that justifies russians killing children tho.

  41. Upvote this. Their entire story answers the question of "why people hate russians" rather well.

  42.  @Yayaloy9  nah, it's more between using standard English pronunciations vs actual regional ones.

  44. Frankenstein is also epistolary... they just had a thing for that in 19th century horror.

  45. So... the naive Marie in Fate Grand Order is closer to reality than popular depiction. Can't wait for your story of real king Arthur being turned into a dickgirl by Merlin.

  49. ​ @barbiquearea  Preserve? The whole point is for all of Ramses' bragging nothing remained of his purported glory, at least on that spot. Ozymandias is synonymous with someone whose empire crumbles like sand castles. Even Breaking Bad named an episode after him for this specific reason.

  50.  @arinalowery7167  her grandson is also a saint. Volodymir the Great, namesake of sixth Ukrainian president, who isn't great at all.)))
