It's so dark that the best American paper on foreign policy is a Paleocon mag.

He's trying to learn Italian with the duolingo app, which has a cartoon owl that is happy or sad depending on how well you're doing.

I knew I had to subscribe to The Empire Never Ended when I saw they had premium episodes on the Rural Peoples' Party and Temple ov Blood. They have three patreon tiers that all have the same benefits, but one of them is a "Western Liberal" tier for 25 bux.

Balkans chat is so loving good and I can't follow any of it because every name bounces off my brain and I can't retain anyone other than Legija, insanely good two episodes.

Everytime they say Legija I keep hearing GIGN as in the French elite police force unit and get really confused over and over. On top of already being confused already.

A lot of Balkan nationalism is based on the idea that other people are actually also Croats or Serbs or whatever, they're just pretending to be something else. Everybody else's nationality is a false consciousness except mine.

They need to do a deep dive on the Korean War before focusing on MacArthur

That’s a guy who is not talked about nearly enough. Weirdly I think the most popular media I’ve ever heard of that actually incorporates about how power hungry he was is a alt history Hearts of Iron 4 mod.

The Moonies produced a bizarre Korean war movie called Incheon, and MacArthur plays a central role in it. It's really funny because the script and tone are totally reverent of MacArthur, but the plot makes it look like he didn't really do anything.

I some Gregory Peck movie when I was a little kid that was probably a meh movie in isolation but from what I remember had basically nothing whatsoever to do with MacArthur the actual person.

e: actually nv thinking back on it there’s no way it wasn’t a dogshit movie but that when was when we only had like 20 movies to choose from in the house.

Inchon is a really bad movie so I wouldn''t recommend watching it. But the Cinema Snob did a 30 minute video on it that shows all the highlights.

The first thing the North Koreans do when they cross the border is shoot everyone in sight, just for the love of killing.

I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair.
I'm the one who brought up MacArthur.

MacArthur was loving insane and every single episode in his life could be an entire podcast or a movie or a season of a TV show. He's so forgotten in the 21st century but honestly we've never had another general like him before or since. Personally I think he was awful. But hating MacArthur is like hating the sun for being a giant fusion reaction.
