Byzantium may take Adrionople and Thessolonikki, Bulgaria might become a nation again(or wallachia/Hungary), Serbia might restart the Serbian Empire. I think Karaman could be in a position to take most of Anatolia. Maybe the Byzantines might get the Christian coast, and Genoa might take some land to protect their Crimean colony
>byzantium
weak and ineffectual even after the restoration of the 1260's
barely a kingdom, much less an empire at that point
4th crusade permanently hobbled the romans
Yes
they had the greek core areas but little else, some outposts on the black sea
bulgaria would def pop up and be annoying, 9-11th centuries they were just constantly rebelling and starting shit
genoa got fucked by the black death anyway
as for anatolia, who knows but it just became a chaotic frontier anyway post-manzikert even after the turks took over
cilicia to armenia was just bandit hell
fortified towns everywhere
anything west of that semi normal but never the way it was under the romans
I don't deny Byzantium was weak.
But they probably might take a tiny bit of Territory
they were in steady and permanent decline
they might have retained greek lands through thessaly, attica, etc but wouldnt have good strong control of the aegean or mediterranean
it was a matter of time before they faded out, 1453 was just a formality
@everyone Daily Question 🔖
What is the best way to ensure a fair and free speech internet for all, or should the internet be let loose to corporations?
If the interner should at all exist, then it should be as national *intra*net.
intranet?
The internet should be regulated in a way to ensure free speech on giant platforms, such as facebook, youtube, twitter, etc.
Yes, it's like the internet but limited to a certain place. In this case a nation.
@Vilhelmsson What if i want to talk to other countries
let it loose to the corps, people will take their money to one that is the most fair
I doubt many people would willingly pay to have their speech silenced
That's an extremely optimistic view
people that seriously advocate for government censorship don't realize that their views could be getting censored as well
If you let it loose, near instantly platforms like google, youtube, facebook, twitter, would go full hammer on free speech
and only allow speech they like
and their views would lead to an orwellian dystopia
"atleast its not the goberment"
then people can go to websites that don't
which have virtually no viewbase compared to the giant
there are alternatives to youtube twitter etc.
which have virtually no viewbase compared to the giants
doesn't mean they don't exist.
you'd need a mass exodus for it to be even viable
if someone has a broad enough influence
which have fun trying to start
