Oh nice. I'll have to give it a read then.

I think the Crossed comics are mostly obnoxious torture porn but I found the premise in of itself excellent. That particular take on "murderous plague of maniacs" is legitimately fucking terrifying and the thought of it kept me up at night when I first discovered the series as a teenager. Add...

Right. An entire cultural group that act like a perverse fusion of Orcs, Reavers, and Crossed, only those at least are simply murderous plague infectees/demon analogues. The fact that the author tries to pass it off as "cultural differences" and "beneath the veneer they're just like us" is what...

Green Antarctica is by far the most racist shit I've ever read.

Oh boy, Tom's really taking inspiration from current events huh?

Tom Kratman is on AH.com now?

Very interesting. I had no idea that the Third French Empire was considering the matter of intervention so seriously. I knew the thought had been tossed around by a few British politicians with ties to big business but nevertheless it makes sense why France might have a stake in the game, their...

Interesting.

While I'm not entirely sure that Federal forces would have been routed completely, I would agree with Powell that Bragg had an opportunity to, at the very least, severely damage the Army of the Cumberland past any sense of Combat Effectiveness. It would likely be a demoralising defeat, though...

I've been off disaster Russia timelines just because it might hit a little too close to home in the immediate future

Free to pursue imperial ambitions without perfidious Albion hogging the wealth.

Harrison's trilogy was an entire series of "What if England was entirely a nation of Blackadder family members, also Wales, Scotland, and parts of Ireland are Baldrick" and America was an entire nation of Calvinist Duke Nukems. I can't help but love the damn thing in spite of how ridiculous...

Oh boy another badass Confederacy Fanfic, I hope the pairing is CSA/France!

Every time I think I'm getting old I think back to soc.history.what.if and remember that some of you bastards are so old you had kids that fought at Verdun

That's fair and I think we all know that it's silly to bring up arguments like mine if you're in a historical debate or publishing an article to be judged by peers, but I was coming at it from more of a philisophical standpoint since Walter Bagehot was arguing in a similar fashion. For what...

yeah I'm seeing a lot of words but the proof is in the pudding sir, no "well actually" here, especially since this is referring specifically to Bagehot. Seriously though, and I know I sound a bit rude but... what exactly is the point of quoting me here? I'm not championing the infinite wisdom...

And even in our time, present-day Athens is the Capital of the Modern Greek nation-state with a population of four million, and is one of the most beloved cities in Modern Europe for tourism and archaeological/historical practices, as well as a large economic hub for the Eastern Mediterranean...

I... good lord I wasn't even being clever there. the Lizard brain just made a subconscious smart guy maneuver.

I say this as a guy who loves all that theme park machismo (Kratos, supersoldiers in Halo called Spartans, military tattoos of the Spartan Lambda... of which I have one of... The whole array of badass horseshit) but it's amazing how fucking good the PR department was for Sparta in the wake of...

I will say that I agreed with the article regarding Eric Von Shrakenberg. If there's anything I found compelling about the Draka it was him. The struggle of being a decent human being in an evil and all encompassing system that demands the individual's participation in it's actions is one that...
