That's because the empire is based on the holy roman empire, and models its fashion off the landsknechts.

Also, more sophisticated firearm technology started to make those military uniforms a lot more drab and inconspicuous.

Aside from the steam tanks and wizards and other fantasy poo poo, the warhammer empire is literally just the holy roman empire dumped into middle earth. The politics, army structure, fashion, all that poo poo is straight lifted from history.

https://twitter.com/EmmaKennedy/status/1181589905589329922 Why do they all do this? Why chunter on about how many PhDs Merkel has? Every loving time Racists: "We didn't fight the world war single handedly to let all these brown people come here from Poland." The Centre: "hehe, so do you mean the first or second world war? You see I can count to two, dumb dumb. We didn't win the second world war single-handedly this was a combined effort of many allied countries including the Poles you so cruelly maligned. If you look here you can see a graph I made....  "This style of arguing seems to appeal to FBPEs uniquely, and thus they think everyone gets convinced by it. They love to pick up on technicalities, or appeals to authority, rather than any sort of convincing argument or narrative. I swear right-wing groups do this on purpose now just to get rage-responses and retweets.

Half its inspiration is from Arthurian legend, but the other half is from the Matter of France, the mythologised birth of the Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne.

It's a common liberal trend and functions broadly the same way the right wing approach does, but for a different demographic. The right wing approach is shouting jingoism/racism because that functions as an expression of solidarity with their base, whereas the liberal equivalent is demonstrating how very clever and factual they are. It's two groups of people talking straight past each other because they have fundamentally different value sets, but the performance appeals to their base in both instances, despite lacking substance. The left equivalent is guillotine memes I guess.

I feel like that's more class and political alignment based, though, and often relates to the character of the tory ghoul they're Stanning for rather than any qualifications. FBPEs uniquely get the back of their man by reposting his CV every time someone calls them a melt.

So if qualifications don't matter for our rulers, what does? If the answer is "their policies", how do you determine which are the best ones without education?

The narrative ‘You and me are smart and dumb Brexiteers are racist’ is at least the second most effective narrative going; it’s plausible it would actually win a second referendum against ‘take back sovereignty’ etc. Where’s ‘Brexit is terrible but we are going to do it anyway for wonkish reasons I am unable to explain to you’ is supported by about seven people outside this thread.

No idea why, but that's approximately when it happened. There's a couple of factors that contributed (although to what extent is up for debate). Synthetic dies made colourfast dark colours possible, then cheaper than brightly-coloured ones, and the invention of the sewing machine meaning clothes could be mass-produced but (at least with the early ones) meaning anything more ambitious than trousers and a jacket had a massive price premium. The bigger mystery for me is what the hell happened to the hat in the 1950s. I can only assume with the end of rationing nobody needed somewhere secret to keep their knockoff petrol coupons so they just stopped wearing them.

Which makes Merkel the perfect ruler, as she studied in a socialist state and even had to write a Marxist paper in addition to her actual scientific work to get her doctorate!

Men's fashion is all down to one dickhead called Beau Brummell. He was a 19th century officer who made friends with George IV. Prior to that most men wore very orante clothes, though Beau thought all men's clothes should be quite drab and be very tightly fitted suits, as well as shaving the face and other rules. He died bankrupt and insane in France, but his legacy continues to this day in terms of formal clothing.
