Alone I stand; among the great and old,
Towering heights and finest sights untold.

@Aelthemplaer Whatever intelligence assets Israel have/had seems not to be going anywhere, and Iran didn't need it. So it's looking pretty much over, though not due to some revolutionary patron on either side like a Motojiro. Possible that Israel pushes revenge destabilisation in the US though

@LowIzzatKara Probably broadly true of both premodern and modern warfare, disease replaced by artillery as the main killer, and both comparably arbitrary and entropic. IQ, health, and wealth probably had an effect, but probably not enough to counteract vs not being present at all.

@LowIzzatKara A study on the eugenic effects of the American Civil War and the Balkan Wars suggested no particularly strong eugenic or dysgenic effect. It filtered most strongly for enthusiasm for the cause (early enlistment). Most attrition applied via time spent at war (constant low risk).

@GreeneMan6 It's not the point, but the ideal median king is an interesting question. Maybe noticably better than the norm physically and intellectually, diligent enough to see through most of their objectives to success, and leaves both the country and crown better than they found it.

[The Kingsflame Festival @kingsflamefest]

The Kingsflame festival is a celebration of over a thousand years of English history.

We’ll be honouring our Celtic, Saxon, Norman and Medieval roots through storytelling, traditional crafts, the clash of steel, and enchanting performances that keep these traditions alive.

And at the centre of it all stands the Kingsflame, an 8 metre tall pyre commemorating the 1100th anniversary of the founding of England, and the ancient fire that still burns in the English spirit.

Follow us here to keep up to date with the Kingsflame festival, and head to the link in the reply to sign up to our email list.

Last minute reminder that I'll be speaking at this event in Stevenage tomorrow with @Nina_Power_

Anyone in the area who thinks they could make it, it would be great to see you there!

[Rupert August @RupertAugust]

@Aelthemplaer Not much unless I've missed some major news on a revolution in Israel/US. Israel seem to have relatively little left to throw at Iran in terms of irregular/intelligence assets. Like if Motojiro had made his play then given Russia time to mop all that up then come back to the war.

[Rupert August @RupertAugust]

@MavenPolitic Stasis is also a good word for it, and it's what the Greeks would have called it.

[Rupert August @RupertAugust]

@spqr_sulla @husafell_stone Seemingly everyone was on board with the idea that if someone was sufficiently capable, it would be wrong to *not* crown them, so it's democracy's immune response working. Case by case can be nuanced, but as a system it worked. And everyone was worse off for it.

@MetaBritain @HookArron76532 Maybe I'm missing something, does his "nationalism" map onto something real, or is it just a construct to seem more moderate while de facto pursuing the same ends?

@ZoomerHistorian Always have to be careful not to fall for a Drusus. Based on him clearly being the EUs pick, I'd be cautious.

[Rupert August @RupertAugust]

@RaefOnevah @Babygravy9 Indeed, that's the one I'm referencing. Thank you for confirming.

[Rupert August @RupertAugust]

@BovrilG Don't forget Japan, who was deliberately and explicitly proto-third worldist. They directly supported African American resentment against White America, and some kind of racial rising would have probably been a part of any hypothetical invasion of the US mainland.

@TheSullis Severn Hospice would've already folded if not for Derek from Atcham. Channeling the spirit of Digby Tatham-Warter.
