Self explanatory

My take is that Joseph Mccarthy was a loud prick but he is more and more vindicated as its obvious that he was onto something. Hell, a USSR spy that defected to the US spelled out their plan for communist infiltration, how its happening under our noses and how Mccarthy was ultimately right...and we still act like the guy wasnt right on the money on his "red scare" hysteria. It makes you realise that while his methods werent great, he simply had to guts to recognise the problem and bring it to the public eye because given what commies have done to western society, they had a reason to be scared given what the red bastards could do to bring an once great nation down to its societal knees.

I could go on hours and hours but what are your takes?

Edit: Anyone that literally say "Hitler did nothing wrong" and nothing else is a tranny

I think the Byzantine Empire, while very neat and home of incredible things, is wildly overhyped by people. If people didn't despise the Turks I think they'd not have the same appeal as they do.

 

[The Last Stand]

I think that Hillary Clinton was wrongly vindicated during that Benghanzi episode. It was a tinderbox situation that anybody could've seen coming given the political climate then.

What I'm about to say is going to give me a lot of autism and dumb stickers but I don't give a shit. I don't think there will ever be another collapse like there was in the ancient Roman Empire at least not within are life time if there ever was another collapse it will probably happen 200 years in the future

The collapse wasnt quick tho, it was pretty slow all things considered, it was a slow decay.

Anyone that thinks they ended with a bang and not a whimper is not paying attention

The 2008 financial crash was caused from greed from the top down. A bubble doesn’t form without willing participants.

The crash's causes werent very different of the one we are now. Same story, different characters. Everyone growing too greedy to the point of self sabotage.

I like the idea that the Ancient Egypt we know of (Cleopatra, etc.) was basically a cargo cult that built itself out of the ruins of an even older civilization that had collapsed thousands of years earlier. So all the pyramids and sphynx were already there; they removed the face from the sphynx to make it look like one of their leaders, the Pharo, etc.

I like the 'Nazi Germany was on a massive rescue mission to save the slavic people from the oppression of the Bolshevicks' alternate take on history and it does explain why there's footage of Nazi soldiers just hanging out and having lunch with Russian peasants instead of going full Come and See on them.
- not sure if this is original enough for you, I will accept all lunacy, autistic, political spergery, and MATI stickers with dignity and grace.

I like the Titanic conspiracy, where all the wealthy people who opposed the Federal Reserve were onboard, so the ship was sabotaged to kill them all and allow a small group to take power with less resistance. I only found out about this one relativley recently and it was a nice change of pace from every other conspiracy just being about pedos.

Hey, you bothered to explain instead of just saying "Hitler did nothing wrong" and that be that. I want to invite actual discussion, ya know?

So you are good.

Also, seems we have a "written by the winners" situation here

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Wasn't there already an unpopular history opinions thread?

 

[ToroidalBoat]

The agricultural and industrial revolutions may have caused a number of issues...

 

[The Luigi Player]

That incorrect is correctly spelt, and history throughout had a multitude of misspellings that we never bother to check, but instead use for money and hilarity.

 

[Epic Fail Man]

The "rebels" are usually the bad guys.

 

[JULAY]

A cabal of Zionist Israel-first neocons in the Bush cabinet and elements of the Israeli Mossad orchestrated the attacks on 9/11.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole 2]

Women's right to vote would have happened regardless of whether or not the women's right movement existed or not, the driving factor was actually industrialization. In the early 1900's more and more women were earning a salary because of urbanisation and industrialization, so... No taxation without representation. Going back in history before that there were women that were given the right to vote (in some capacity) because they earned a lot of money and paid taxes. This happened in the US as well as Europe.

 

[ShittlerNiggler]

The only reason why Hitler is so strongly remembered is because he was the last "big killing conquerer" in the civilized world. Before that there was another major genocide attempt every 20-50 years.
Napoleon was way worse. He spread ideas of liberalism and fake freedom to weaken and subjugate the west under french globalism and still get's celebrated by democracy-supporters with inherited stockholm syndrom.

The Mongols were cool.

There is no way that Hellen Keller wote any books, she was just a retard and a fraud

 

[Slightly Apathetic Mario]

Kaiser Wilhelm II was an autistic retard who had no one to blame but himself for the collapse of the German Empire, from driving Russia to an alliance with France, to pissing off the Brits with his navy dick measuring contest. The German Empire is extremely overrated by kaisertroons and reddit HOI4 players. Also anyone that supports Hitler in the modern day is anti white due to hitler causing a war that killed whites more than anything and let the Soviets dominate eastern Europe all because hitler was a faggot that had mommy and daddy issues at the same time. So actual fascists that are smart don't support hitler but rather Mussolini or Franco/Salazar.

 

[Skeletonized Cow]

The Romans were actually a really fucked society compared even to many of their contemporaries. They only survive today as being some quasi-mythical founders of civilization thanks to their success in conquering a huge swathe of the global population.
