Looking back on it the timing could not have been better for America. The geopolitics of Europe basically made it so that England could not launch a counteroffensive for 40 years and even then they were busy with Napoleon.

Unlike the servile Canadians we seized upon destiny!

> Indeed, when our order is obeyed, it will not be necessary to exact retribution and your shall retain your land, army, and subjects. If you do not heed our advice and intend to oppose and resist us, ready your army and choose the battlefield, for we are prepared and girded for battle. When I lead my army against Baghdad in fury, whether you hide in the heavens or on earth

> I will bring you down from the spinning spheres;
I will toss you in the air like a lion.
I will leave no one alive in your realm;
I will burn your city and your lands.

You ruined it.

Most of our trash today is like plastics and shit which didnt exist until the 20th century

So wood and other organic materials were left to degrade? What about metals, glass, and pottery?

To this day we still are having trouble with our sewer and waste water disposal.

Back in the day processed or craftered materials were not as endemic as they are now.

>What will future media get wrong about modern times?

As far as actual things we can see? Absolutely nothing, because far too much photographic evidence exists today. Ideologically? A whole lot.

Like all psychological tests they suffer from a heisenberg type weakness, where they make the observer the participant, which means they are only serve to categorize your current state of being and not nessicarily your overall sense of being.

The English, by going to Ireland in the first place.

The UVF and RUC, by attacking NICRA and Catholic civilians repeatedly until the IRA's policy of non-violence failed and PIRA mobilized.

Note that the IRA was actually caught flat footed by the Battle of the Bogside and was unable to defend Catholic neighborhoods.

Catholics were hoping the British Army would protect them, but instead the British Army started interning exclusively republicans.

Initially grenadiers did actually throw grenades, and they chose big guys (4 u) for the job.

When that proved to be dangerous in a field battle (i.e. your grenadier boy gets shot while throwing a grenade, blowing yourselves up), grenadiers became the crack assault force tasked with breaking niggas' formations up using aggressive tactics. They were also people you would not like to engage in melee with since they train to be better than it than everyone else in the infantry.

>>2970484
How heavy were those grenades estimated to be? I imagine that if they had to hand pick the guys who would throw them they must've been heafty.

>>2970526
Its not because they're heavy, it's just that they want big guys to throw them far.

When do you think Flavius Aetius would have fit in best? He did quite well with managing the era of the Western Roman Empire he was at, but he was unable to stop the decline due to his assassination by the Emperor Valentinianus III, and perhaps numerous other challenges that would have obstructed the Empire's recovery. When Sidonius Apollinaris heard about Aetius' assassination by the Emperor, he remarked, "Whether well or not, I do not know. But know that you have cut off your right hand with your left." It's possible that had Aetius been born in an earlier time, he could have been a powerful conquerer, in the style of Caesar or Traianus, rather than the great defensive leader he was during the fifth century AD.

>>2970516

It really bums me out how Valentinianus III lashed out in a jealous spate of madness and ended the Western Empire's best chance for longevity

They have a set of traditions that work and try to improve within it while ignoring the suffering of their minorities, its a coward's way of living

They are not as successful as anti-racist, anti-fascist, western liberal countries though.

that's what happened though

You're right, but that takes too long, and meanwhile 25% of people are unemployed and pissed at the government. So you have to take some sort of action. The depression didn't really end until WW2.

Looks so strange, too, sometimes. Like something out of a fantasy movie. Unfamiliar and unique.

>>2969456
I think the ultimate realization is how fee links we actually have in history. Think about how few sources exist in Europe during the 700s. So to me the ultimate misconception people have is that we know history.

>they can contradict fucking Adams or Gibbons.

Edward Gibbon is just wrong to start with. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire may of being a revolutionary book in 1788 in terms of ideas and quality. But over time almost every part of has been proving wrong.

>The NOI unironically still believe this

Why do race based nationalists generally believe crazy things?

Is NOI the most heretical movement within Islam?

>>2969400
No, that would be Shiah.
