@notylerhere@REBEL_CHAMP@dhillian92633@TheAmRev Are you so fucking goyminded that you forgot this was a brothers war?
Families were fighting one another. Cities were split.
This wasnt an invading force, it was a family argument.
But hey sure the next time you and a cousin or uncle fight over politics, just fucking kill them.
My backyard is Sherman, Sheridan & Custer country. My ancestors marched to Atlanta, two died there. I have every reason for a Northern bias.
Our mistake was allowing the war to be sanitized into Northern virtue and Southern guilt. Reducing the entire conflict to slavery erased the harder questions of power, federalism and constitutional order. It also gave us permission to stop asking uncomfortable questions…like whether secession was constitutionally permissible in the first place.
Governments expand power through three ancient levers…fear, morality and emergency. Fear makes power necessary. Morality makes it righteous. Emergency makes resistance seem irresponsible.
The original constitutional order died at Appomattox.

Book 2
Rome the blueprint for the modern west.
A fantastic overview of Roman history. Written more like an adventure following the heroes and villains, than a history book.

@D162Michele Thank you liberal white woman for saving these savage Asians from the folly of sou sauce.
Truly what would we do without you?
Please teach us how to make a proper eggroll next.
The reason you’re never going to hear anything else about the Les Vegas shooting is because a belt fed machine gun was used. Any Infantry soldier worth his salt knows the rate of fire of an M240B. Furthermore, it’s nearly impossible to maintain such rates of fire when a bumpstock, especially from a prone position. Even a very experienced shooter would find it difficult to do, especially given the tension and stress of the moment.
@LavenderGhast Keep in mind that's the backstory for the Disney ( famously anti-capitalist) rebellion.
That is not the case for the rebellion in the expanded universe.
