bulgaria would def pop up and be annoying, 9-11th centuries they were just constantly rebelling and starting shit

2018-11-16 15:04:57 UTC  

genoa got fucked by the black death anyway

2018-11-16 15:05:35 UTC  

as for anatolia, who knows but it just became a chaotic frontier anyway post-manzikert even after the turks took over

2018-11-16 15:05:49 UTC  

cilicia to armenia was just bandit hell

2018-11-16 15:05:54 UTC  

fortified towns everywhere

2018-11-16 15:06:12 UTC  

anything west of that semi normal but never the way it was under the romans

2018-11-16 15:07:25 UTC  

I don't deny Byzantium was weak.

2018-11-16 15:07:45 UTC  

But they probably might take a tiny bit of Territory

2018-11-16 15:20:35 UTC  

they were in steady and permanent decline

2018-11-16 15:21:24 UTC  

they might have retained greek lands through thessaly, attica, etc but wouldnt have good strong control of the aegean or mediterranean

2018-11-16 15:21:42 UTC  

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?

2018-11-16 19:04:14 UTC  

If the interner should at all exist, then it should be as national *intra*net.

2018-11-16 19:04:46 UTC  

And be heavily censored.

2018-11-16 19:04:50 UTC  

intranet?

2018-11-16 19:05:42 UTC  

The internet should be regulated in a way to ensure free speech on giant platforms, such as facebook, youtube, twitter, etc.

2018-11-16 19:07:16 UTC  

Yes, it's like the internet but limited to a certain place. In this case a nation.

2018-11-16 19:09:23 UTC  

@Vilhelmsson What if i want to talk to other countries

2018-11-16 19:09:38 UTC  

let it loose to the corps, people will take their money to one that is the most fair

2018-11-16 19:09:55 UTC  

I doubt many people would willingly pay to have their speech silenced

2018-11-16 19:10:31 UTC  

That's an extremely optimistic view

2018-11-16 19:10:45 UTC  

people that seriously advocate for government censorship don't realize that their views could be getting censored as well

2018-11-16 19:11:02 UTC  

If you let it loose, near instantly platforms like google, youtube, facebook, twitter, would go full hammer on free speech

2018-11-16 19:11:10 UTC  

and only allow speech they like

2018-11-16 19:11:14 UTC  

and their views would lead to an orwellian dystopia

2018-11-16 19:11:27 UTC  

"atleast its not the goberment"

2018-11-16 19:11:28 UTC  

then people can go to websites that don't

2018-11-16 19:11:39 UTC  

which have virtually no viewbase compared to the giant

2018-11-16 19:11:42 UTC  

there are alternatives to youtube twitter etc.

2018-11-16 19:11:49 UTC  

which have virtually no viewbase compared to the giants

2018-11-16 19:11:57 UTC  

doesn't mean they don't exist.

2018-11-16 19:12:07 UTC  

you'd need a mass exodus for it to be even viable

2018-11-16 19:12:12 UTC  

if someone has a broad enough influence

2018-11-16 19:12:14 UTC  

which have fun trying to start

2018-11-16 19:12:21 UTC  

their followers will still find ways to support them

2018-11-16 19:12:31 UTC  

ex: Info wars alex jones

2018-11-16 19:12:39 UTC  

if you're lucky, 1/10 of his supporters will migrate

2018-11-16 19:12:47 UTC  

?

2018-11-16 19:12:52 UTC  

he's still doing good

2018-11-16 19:12:59 UTC  

Giants like youtube need to be regulated

2018-11-16 19:13:09 UTC  

you have an extremely pessimistic point of view
