Who doesn’t love history? I don’t. I fucking hate history. Someone tried to talk to me about the ‘metaphysics of time’ once and I ended up catching a murder charge over it—got court tomorrow!

Wait, people actually think Nazis were competent? Their primary logistics strategy was ‘hope the horses don’t freeze.
Can we stop pretending that nazis weren’t competent? They weren’t incompetent cartoon villains. They were organized and effective (not in a admirable way) and that’s what made them dangerous. Treating them like idiots just hides how real the threat was.
“Oh Nazis were so stupid and incompetent”. My brother in Christ they were literally the biggest threat of europe (even the whole world) right after the black plague.
Minimizing them is dangerous.
What’s the “should read Paul Fussell” one? I can’t read the text above it.
Both of these posts entirely miss off the weird right wing (mostly) american r/historymemes posters that will mention tankys at the drop of a hat and are very pro-American interventionism (even though historically that’s the opposite of what right wing Americans wanted).
What is this? Good memes? Wrong sub sir
I think the HOI4 part was very accurate.
This may be one of my favourite memes of all time
Honestly, the “Turbo Autist” seems chill.
There’s always the group of people that are extremely pro German for both world wars, saying they have the best equipment, tactics, politics or even saying if they won those wars the world would be better.
Then there’s the extremely pro Russia/Soviet group that thinks they’re the strongest country from the start of the 1900s to now, and that they also have the best equipment, tactics, never lost anything and won everything single handedly.
I’m just here to talk about how whatever anyone else did, the Mongols did it better.
How *dare* you put me in the same category was *Juggalos* 😡
seriously, why can’t there be great men?
WW2 this. Cold War that. Where are all the fans of the wars in the Early Modern Era?
As an Actual Actual Historian, I…
It’s so funny that both these memes assert there are no Marxist historians (there are)
Romaboos should have to struggle through pages and pages of Cicero’s ramblings like the rest of us Roman history enjoyers (fuck In Verrem and fuck A-level Classics for making me read it)
Bronze age collapse doomer:
Believes history is a set pattern and that individuals actions are immaterial.
Freely mixes speculation and fact to demoralize anyone they can corner.
Hasn’t been sober since W was in office.
ai is really getting better at these.
The central powers were right while the Allie’s were right is a very niche very uh funny part of history enjoyers I am part of 😭
I looked up the history of the first bridge in my city. I may need to lay off the Tylenol.
Damn. What if I just want to spread slander and misinformation? Where would I be at?
History fans when you explain to them that huge, important swaths of history exist outside of wars
this is way worse
