Virginia was once one state.

*y t h o*

A large Unionist chunk of it seceded from the Confederate-controlled Virginia during the US Civil War, that chunk obviously being West Virginia.

rite

Well are you interested in europe though?

This new world thing is far too simplistic for my suffisticated european naming system

I am, actually.

For an American I know a shitload about non-western Europe.

Give me place names and I'll try and disect

Easy one; Ukraine.

You probably know it already

You don't have to be a slavist to know

I’m seeing if you do, though.

Ukraine is an anglophied version of Ukrajina which means "border land"

Literally meaning in the border land

There you go.

Krajina means borderland but Kraj means land but in polish it's country

Uh, ~~Swedistan~~ Sweden.

In swedish it's sverige

Wait hold on

I only specialise in slavic places

Maybe I can pull out a slavic meaning

That’s alright.

Hold on

S(lo)venska

They did speak roughly the same vandal language

and again the slavic -ska thing

Check this out;

Jeg kopjeter en stol i paris (norwegian)
Jaz sem kupil en stol v parizu (slovene)

Remarkable isn't it

Damn.

yeah

That’s more similar than I’d ever think Swedish and Slovenian would be.

Or swedish;

Jag kopjer en stol i Paris

Moving on,

Belarus, then Russia

Oh

White russia

Probably because of the snow

Russia?

Means "land of the red haired people"

Rossi meaning red

Rossia

Russia

Okay, Bulgaria

Actually the russians still call themselfs "Rossia"

Bulgar-land

Want the origin of bulgar itself orrr

Nah, I already know.

Let me hear

Migration south of the Danube, fighting the Byzantines n’ shit, getting oppressed by the Ottomans, Independence, Balkan Wars, WWI + WW2, Communist dictatorship then here we are now.

Uh

Heavily generalized.

You didn't explain the origin of the word itself

Oooooooh.

You briefly explained their history

Shit.

ya

I’ll... look it up on my own time.

Anyway, Czechia.

No no I can explain

I know of it

Actually you can just observe

With the case of slovene "betatism" which happens to shift the letter v into b bulgar becomes logical meaning "vulgar" you might think thats where the term comes from but it's just linguistic coinsidence. Considering the slovenians still use the classic "bolgar" name it's easily recognizable at this point.
Volga-r means "man from the shores of lake Volga"

The turks still call them Bulgaristan

hinting their tartar history

Czechia?

The story of Czech, Lech and Rus

Easy as that

Or in our dialect Čeh means "small naughty, playful boy"

But probably shifted in meaning

@Ｋ▲ＩＳＥＲ rip

Did you knew that the original Philadelphia is in Turkey, it was one of the Biblical Asian Churches.

How come the Unitedstatian one became more famous than it is beyond me.

@KoalaBear Oh you mentioned Sorbs, did you heard of a city with name very similar to Ljubjlana.

Lübeck was originally called Liubice, today it's the Alt-Lübeck part old town.

It was a seat of the Polabian Obotrites.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Nie_jestesmy_tu_od_wczoraj.jpg

Here it was even featured in the Polish communist propaganda.

"We aren't here since yesterday, we had reached far to the west."

@National Trotskyist yeah lubice means "lovers"

But liubje is that wooden thing

When it was still Slavic we called it Ljubice, the modern one we call Lubeka.

Lubek is masculine

Ljubice is femminine

Interesting

Hold on so it was germanised and reverted to slavic again?

Interesting

@National Trotskyist oh that means "we're not here since yesterday"

I understand

Yep.

You likely know how Austria holds so much of the Slovene land right.

Most of Eastern Germany was initially Slavic. As far as Liubice.

All the way from Gradec down

Yeah.

I think Austro-Bavaria was initially inhabited by West Slavic tribes and Slovenes.

Hence the pronounciation and diffrent dialect

Also in rome bavaria was called Vandalicia and boden see was called venetian sea

Well, slovenci, slovaki, same heart really

It's also seen in the heraldry, the former lands use the mythical panther which was the symbol of the Slovenes.

Noriški panter

One of the oldest emblems in europe

I think the animal got called after the mythical monster which was fire-breathing.

Damn thats a fine picture

Mind I steal it?

It's all yours :^).

Right, some leftist asshole "historian" claimed the symbol isn't slovene

Peter Štih can fuck off right to serbia

@National Trotskyist why do you keep going offline and online

@Ｋ▲ＩＳＥＲ will we continue?

@National Trotskyist perhaps you'd like to?

ah fuck it

Oh I just sometimes am online on the invisiblity.

Also that feel when can't find a vegetarian kebab anywhere anymore, is this really that fucking hard to just prepare it and not put any meat inside.

https://youtu.be/9rD6_YmyeGI

Right

Then check the comment section

Vend does his best at gathering facts

Hmm, watched and read the comments.

The vedas were given to the indians

Veda

Slavic meaning

India Koromandija

Slavic "land behind 9 mountains and 9 lakes"

Vindia

Vend

Stan

stanovanje means residence

stanovati means to residate

Yeah Veda means Knowledge and Avesta means Information in Slavic languages.

Wiedza and Wieści in Polish.

Although the purest form of the word is in czech, slovak and slovene

Just that

Veda

Poles tend to like ie-ing things

Like the croats do with -ije

No context

whatsoever

remove kebab

in soviet chechnya kebab removes you

https://www.change.org/p/pope-francis-holy-catholic-crusade

>crusade

Remove Schismatics

Next crusade would be awesome.

So many native xtians persecuted by the muslamic inflow.

the virgin crusade vs the chad intifada

Armenia

you made a typo
it's called "greater turkey"

Alex Jones and the Young Turks
"Where are the missing Armenians?"

@National Trotskyist
That would’ve been better if the question was in all caps with an exclamation mark

Lel this is a nice derivative of the BLACKED meme.

Posting here cuz crusades started due to the Turks lol.

gas all turk-roaches

@National Trotskyist you do realise Muslims find whites unattractive?

Its different from person to person

Nope

@Coolcat314 do you like black men or women?

Physically

Um

Wdym?

Do you find black people attractive?

Not everyone is the same

Is it more rare to find a black person attractive?

Yee

@Coolcat314 that's kind of how it is for mem

Me*

Of course there are outliers

I see

But you can't say it's the same for a group of people.

Of course you can't.

But from my view point.

Probably similar to those from my nation too.

It sounded like you said it as a fact

Scrumptious stuff

*Dabs on anarchist kurds*

And where is the Wewistan in all of this?

Wouldn't that rather be Pakistan XD?

I don't know - with anon I took ISIS off the web. Plenty of Turk supporters. But there is also a quagmire of intelligence and mercs US and otherwise going ISIS too.

Weapons oil trade and sales between all actors. Not morally clear. Pakistan will kill a motherfucker for not loving the rehime though

@Volya~ stfu
