The only common ground is your mutual weakness in the situation

It’s interesting how this whole dynamic seems to have been ignored

The same sorta thing played out on a grander scale in east Asia

Are you talking about Feudal Japan or something else?

I agree. Everyone was awful in some way back then.

With China/Japan and the unequal treaties etc, except without the slavery

Nah, I mean the intrusion of Western power into these areas

That was China's fault mostly

They were constantly at odds with each other

Until one nation pulled its sacks up while one took it up the arse

You ever listen to the story of Cheng I Sao?

Nah mate, give us a rundown

No.

No clue who that is

So there was a large pirate faction that dominated the Chinese seas. Once the leader died, his wife (a former prostitute) took charge and ran the entire fleet like a boss.

So because of this, she was at constant war with the Chinese military who had no efficient navy at the time. This prompted them to call in British assistance with their superior Naval fleet

After a bunch of background politics that got her off Scot-free and disbanded her fleet, and also after she bombarded literally every Port on the way to Beijing, this opened up the Opium Wars which is a big part of Western occupation of East Asia

TL;DR: a thieving whore crippled China and started a drug war.

The shortened version is a lot less respectable than it actually was

Cool. Didn’t know that

Look into it. She's actually pretty badass

Sounds cool.

Should make an anime out of that

I’ve kinda had enough of everyone shilling about the Three Kingdoms

I'd absolutely watch it

Great saga for sure but

Shouldn’t we illuminate other sections of Chinese history?

It's certainly robust enough. Instead of just limiting ourselves to the Three Kingdoms or Mulan

Like Jesus the shift between the Ming and the Qing is some of the best political drama ever

Maybe get some guy from the villages to rise through the Mandarin system and just be caught up in the shit

Would be amazing

History is just riddled with dramatic sagas and heroes. The Second Punic War is a perfect example of such

@Salacious Swanky Cat sorry, remember when I said someone mocked Kanye for being fatherless? It wasn’t CNN, it was MSNBC

Why I couldn’t find a clip, wrong left wing news outlet lol

@Deleted User that’s so awful. Kanye’s point is that fatherless homes are not good for children.

@Salacious Swanky Cat well yeah, I dunno, but I hope these cunts go bankrupt sooner rather than later

So let me get this straight. They are going to use Kanye as an example of how he's wrong about how fatherless homes aren't good for children and then in the next breath say he's crazy? What are the trying to prove? Do they even know any more?

The cognitive dissonance is too much to handle. 🤦‍♂️

Haha lefties are very good at tying themselves in knots

They need a binder like the one Crowder keeps for his Change My Mind segments

Would that be a binder full of women??
