we would have been fucked by russia/china by now

2018-05-19 04:18:50 UTC  

hell the british could have even started moving in again

2018-05-19 04:18:53 UTC  

if we didnt create a union

2018-05-19 04:19:02 UTC  

since canada was still a colony at that point

2018-05-19 04:19:07 UTC  

yup

2018-05-19 04:19:15 UTC  

entirely what the first few federalist papers are about

2018-05-19 04:19:20 UTC  

Monarchism this far west

2018-05-19 04:19:33 UTC  

Who knows. Might have been better off

2018-05-19 04:19:39 UTC  

hard to say

2018-05-19 04:19:45 UTC  

maybe but monarchy gay

2018-05-19 04:19:48 UTC  

there's so many factors that we dont know that would come into play

2018-05-19 04:19:49 UTC  

Not so close to the middle east that Muhammad can take a highway

2018-05-19 04:19:49 UTC  
2018-05-19 04:20:13 UTC  

wouldn't have fought communism though

2018-05-19 04:20:23 UTC  

which as non ideological as people want to be would have been bad if we didn't

2018-05-19 04:20:28 UTC  

Honestly everyone talks about muh states rights and successionism was moral and all that shit

2018-05-19 04:20:32 UTC  

I can't believe I am becoming more of a Centralist the more I think about history and re-read the federalist and anti-federalist papers.

2018-05-19 04:20:48 UTC  

'anti federalist papers'?

2018-05-19 04:20:48 UTC  

I often wonder what the cold war era would be like if nazi germany conquered the ussr

2018-05-19 04:20:51 UTC  

But nobody talks about the unionist argument, which is actually pretty potent, especially in the context of the mid nineteenth century

2018-05-19 04:21:06 UTC  

because there would be three dominant powers

2018-05-19 04:21:15 UTC  

What if Hitler and Stalin kept their alliance

2018-05-19 04:21:20 UTC  

Germany in europe, Japan in asia and America in well america

2018-05-19 04:21:27 UTC  

@Briggs when you read the federalist pappers the founders have some very troubling language. what are the anti federalist papers is that a thing, or do you just mean critiques of them?

2018-05-19 04:21:32 UTC  

What if Hitler didn't try to invade the whole world and listened to his military advisors

2018-05-19 04:21:55 UTC  

imagine if hitler waited for mussolini's army to be not in shambles

2018-05-19 04:21:59 UTC  

Hitler could have fought britain first and then pushed into the ussr after

2018-05-19 04:22:12 UTC  

would be a very different war

2018-05-19 04:22:15 UTC  

he jumped the gun on alot of stuff after the war in finland

2018-05-19 04:22:20 UTC  

Hitler could have not fought britain at all and formed an alliance against the USSR

2018-05-19 04:22:28 UTC  

since Finland won he assumed the USSR army was in worse shape than it actually was

2018-05-19 04:22:52 UTC  

you should always assume your enemy is better equipped than you

2018-05-19 04:22:57 UTC  

i need a good ww2 book

2018-05-19 04:23:04 UTC  

@shinjitsu It is a collection of debates from the constitutional convention.

2018-05-19 04:23:08 UTC  

ahh

2018-05-19 04:23:26 UTC  

do they go essay by essay?

2018-05-19 04:23:57 UTC  

*oh they couldn't win an offensive war in a mountain region with huge winter attrition and gureilla tactics. Let's go face them in a defensive war where they have the home advantage*
