It's actually really good, hard to imagine something like it airing today in the mainstream
The beginning of the end...

Back then, they were openly condemned for not respecting freedom of speech - how times have changed...

Truly a globalised war
Central Asia was being fucked by the USSR though
japan was in for a nasty surprise when they did hit the USSR for the first time
Wtf
As of Europe didn't have pestilence or dangerous animals lol
to much stupid in one video.
Too
I blame the video, it did make me stupid by watching it
Haha did you actually watch it?
I got pissed at the 1 minute mark
did feel the brain damage set in around the same spot so I did fast forward it to find it was 100% bullshit
the guy made some valid points though.
-The importance of domesticated animals
-Geographic location
-Different needs for different peoples
I think Guns Germs and Steel does a better job of explaining that
Great book btw, anyone that hasn't read it should read it
Or listen to the audiobook like I did
Isn't it just European self-hate and flagellation, coupled with 'Nobel Savage' BS? @nic
No, it is a neutral analysis
It's not anti European or pro natives, it just tried to analyse why history played out the way it did
Wasn't that plane also supposed to carry smaller I 16 planes under its belly?
what plane is that?
ah yes! there are the tiny I 16s strapped to its wings
On paper it's brilliant, never have to worry about carrying an escort, when you're literally carrying one with you
unfortunately the parasite fighter turned out to be a dead evolutionary line
Maybe drones one day from cargo planes.
@EnderOctanus That's like, 1950's tech
That's where we got the name "drone" in common usage, instead of UAV
I remember there was this one concept of a "mobile" C&C center, basically the size of an RV already furnished and a cargo plane would hot drop it right onto the battlefield for rapid deployment forces like paratrooper invasions and marine strike forces
But it was the 50's, so it never became a thing, really
@Legiondude No, they're a thing. I've worked with them quite a bit
Not necessarily parachuted in, but it can be rapidly deployable.
They exist. C&C vehicles, can be parachuted. Or at least could be if they don't now.
For airborne specialists mostly.
@EnderOctanus If you need to parachute in a small building, then you're already at a point where you might as well build a small landing strip and just drop it off as normal cargo.
That's the air force methodology at least.
Not a building, a vehicle
@EnderOctanus They have command post vehicles as well.
Idk, in hindsight the whole idea of a command post RV on the battlefield seems ridiculous and unwieldy.
We have radio communications now
The magazine illustration I was thinking of was basically pitching air dropping one of these https://cdn2.rvtrader.com/v1/media/5bf9b0800eec3a4f537ff896.jpg?width=1024&height=768&quality=70
Except the mook illustrator colored it *orange*
Radio can be spotty though. Even modern shit doesn't always work. What I hear from my cousin in the Marines anyway.
Plus some operations need immediate oversight, and someone close by might have a better picture of what's happening than some general in a tent hundreds of miles away.
Its why there are AWACS.
Airborne might be in a place where AWACS cannot be deployed, though. They get tons of improvised command shit that could be deployed with them.
@EnderOctanus Point is, you use a combination of all of that
If you can drop in a literal RV, then you shouldn't have needed to parachute in anyways
He probably invented time travel, let's be honest
Steam engines?
Wind turbines?
*Vending Machines??*
The dude was stuck in the Classical era, and all he wanted was a damn Coke.
what a chad
@EnderOctanus marines get army and navy handmedowns. Coms for the other forces are up to scruff

KKK got doxxed
Kind of fucked people might actually try to kill them.
why people dox, they hope a crazy will do the rest
If the KKK was so sure of their ''good deed;'' then they wouldnt hide behind mask like cowards like antifa would they?
anominity is important of course
Dont want everyone to know the dumb shit i say on the internet
all about the USSR
guy talks about latvia alot tho, cause he lives there
and also modern news
gets death threats for talking about certain things
he had a conspiracy theory about how Stalin actually caused Hitler to cease power by getting the communists in germany to split up, allowing the nazis to win govt
You know, there's this neat thing where you can press "Shift + Enter" and start a new line.
why
It's more polite when multiple people are talking
Chad Longbow vs the Virgin Knight
@What Would Jack Conte Do? Heres a new video from a (former) Chinese church.
<:pepe_hang:460603218766987298>
Not all KKK wear hoods, just for klan events
thank you Mangina, very cool
Why are the english brothers in the war of the roses always depicted as cuddling with each other? Has anyone's brother ever done that ever? I thought bros wrestle and rough house. Wtf is with historical narratives, honestly?
talking about renaissance paintings
"Brother I love you, oh dearest brother, I do love you, I simply love you dearest brother. Brother I love you, do you love me, brother"
"Why yes, brother, I do love you, oh lets cuddle dear brother."
that's just going through my head the whole time
i've seen older movies, and pictures of soldiers or friends laying their head on a dudes lap, laying their legs over someone elses legs etc.
i think it just depends on the culture and the times
i think the whole personal bubble thing is a fairly new phenomenon
yeah but that's because they've been through psychological stress for a long time
the brothers are locked in a tower and they just live there... that's not so dismaying that they're like 'You are all I have my brother!'
also, laying legs over someone else's legs isn't cuddling
they have this very innocent look on their faces while they do it too
i don't think the soldiers look that innocent when they physically close to each other
lol, can i get an example of what you are talking about then?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oPCtYA47rE watch the video, it's like 5 paintings in a row where the brothers look like they're mid-make out session
I'm just a bit unnerved by those paintings that try to be so humanistic that they ignore what they would have actually looked like you know?
some characters in history are portrayed to look like dolls with almost disney-level eye size, sometimes in mid-melee as a portrayal of a bloody battle
it's a weird style, shows that early modern artists were flawed, even if producing that stuff took more work over all
i mean, they probably did that on purpose for a desired effect
well yeah
that's what art is for
so calling it flawed might not be the right word
wehn flawed in the sense that it isn't realistic
