  1. Which 20th Century regimes would you consider as pure evil?

    There's also the Burmese juntas from Ne Win onward, what with having the longest ongoing civil war... Some Pakistani dictatorships did some really horrible shit, such as Yahya Khan with the Bangladesh genocide... Also, Milosevic's Serbia hasn't really been mentioned yet?

  3. Dr Who WI: No War Doctor (John Hurt Cast)

    They actually did, in The Name of the Doctor I think... It's the whole thing where the Great Intelligence says about the names the Doctor would be known for at the end... In fact, that's sorta why some people initially speculated that John Hurt would be playing as (along with "8.5", which is...

  4. AHC: prevent Franco-German rapprochement

    One way to make this happen is that Kurt Schumacher instead of Konrad Adenauer becomes the Chancellor of Germany in the 1949 election...

  10. Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?

    Though the Timurid Empire did patronize art, for instance... Also, apparently for some reason Uzbeks regard Timur positively?! Also, unlike with the Confederacy, IIRC there was a significant socialist party in the German Empire, as well as minority parties (though the treatment of the...

  11. Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?

    I know that, but it doesn't stop stuff like the BTS T-shirt controversy from happening...

  12. Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?

    You do know that quite a lot of Chinese and Koreans (among others) find it hard to sympathize with the Japanese over the atomic bombings, right? Not that I excuse them, but...

  13. Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?

    Then why did Grant do that enforcement, like pwning the 1st KKK?

  14. Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?
