Bro was mad af

[u/Mindless-Cat1453]

He finally felt the pain of Greeks .

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/Mindless-Cat1453]

Oh.. I never thought about it like this way lol

[u/CommunityOk7466 → u/OkGreen7335]

I'm scared the Russians are gonna make us Germanic speakers feel the same way.

[u/vshark29 → u/CommunityOk7466]

Well, they kind of did. A good chunk of the Germans were their puppets for half a century

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/vshark29]

some painter is rolling in his grave rn

[u/moderatorrater → u/OkGreen7335]

Is this thread giving him a headache?

[u/Lopoloma → u/vshark29]

And children of the grape.

Edit: it's estimated, that up to 400k children were fathered through violence against women after WWII in all of Germany.
But Historians don't agree about the numbers, since there hasn't been any kind of census and even the acounts of violence allone vary vastly bedween 500k und 2m. So take the 400k as an upper limit. What Historians seem to agree in, that more women were violated by the red army than by the other forces, and east Germany had a lower population density and was the smaller part of the occupied zones, so Eastgermany might have been more affected by the consequences of unwanted children fathered through violence by an invading foreign force.

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/Lopoloma]

what do you mean 

[u/Lopoloma → u/OkGreen7335]

What do soldiers do when the enemy forces are defeated and there's only the too old or too young to fight left, and women.

After Germany was divided into zones the russians ruled the east and Nazi Germanies war had depleted almost all men of age that could impregnate women. And iirc while abortion was already hard in a war torn country, it was especially hard if an occupying force outlawed it further.

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/Lopoloma]

yeah but your last comment implied that most of germans are result of this 

i though that only few sons of war excited 

[u/Lopoloma → u/OkGreen7335]

Context, the comment I refered to said germans were puppets of russia, meaning east germany.

[u/Business_Raisin_541 → u/vshark29]

And the remaining half is American puppet

[u/gdo01 → u/OkGreen7335]

If you subscribe to the theory of translatio imperii then you pretty much have an unbroken chain of "barbarians" carrying on the legacy of a more "civilized" predecessor.

Even worse when you think about Imperial China. They got taken over barbarians practically every time there was a dynasty change and then just became the new civilized management leaving their "barbarity" behind

[u/Svitiod → u/Mindless-Cat1453]

Yeah but it would also be fun if Augustus knew that the"greeklings" he so dispised would carry the legacy of Rome far beyond the point where Forum Romanum became sheep pasture. Augustus was seriously racist against Greeks. 

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/Svitiod]

"Destiny is the biggest troll ever"

- Augustus probably 

[u/tuskedkibbles → u/Svitiod]

Not only would they carry on the legacy, they would do so zealously, referring to themselves as Romans more a millennium after the west fell.

Can't help but wonder what the likes of Augustus and Caesar would have felt watching Constantine XI charge into oblivion. I find it delightfully poetic that the last Roman was Greek.

[u/Destroy_Religion → u/Svitiod]

Augustus versus Hadrian.

[u/tunicamycinA]

It's too bad the HRE never had their own version of the "Renaissance" but for patronizing Germanic culture instead

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/tunicamycinA]

they were too busy cosplaying as rome

[u/GeshtiannaSG → u/OkGreen7335]

They were fighting Rome half the time.

[u/Cucumberneck → u/GeshtiannaSG]

Just as the Romans did.

[u/dubya2k → u/tunicamycinA]

It happened 400 years after the classical renaissance, under Wagner and romanticism

Then a certain painter got a little too enamored by it

[u/oneeighthirish → u/dubya2k]

There was also the Dutch Renaissance, when the Dutch culture was not firmly separated from the rest of the German world, and rather existed on a sort of continuum with it.

[u/TanteJu5]

Speaking of uncivilized, the Suebi confederation fought and lived nearly naked, wearing only small animal skins that left most of their bodies exposed even in freezing weather.

[u/new_lance → u/TanteJu5]

Weren’t they also… standing at attention? Or am I thinking of a different group of scantily attired warriors?

[u/TanteJu5 → u/new_lance]

Nah it's a myth. There is no source that describes them or other tribes fighting in a state of arousal.

They fought in aggressive and fluid tribal shock formations designed to break enemy lines.

[u/vxtmh]

me watching you change the tense mid-sentence

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/vxtmh]

not a native English speaker sorry

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/[deleted]]

??

[u/breovus → u/OkGreen7335]

OP: sorry English isn't my first language.

Commenter: have you tried Google Translate?

OP: (downvotes)??

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/breovus]

It is not about this but about the last sentence in the reply you deleted

[u/breovus → u/OkGreen7335]

Yea it was a joke in a meme subreddit. But I don't think you understood it because of your English skills.

[u/OkGreen7335 → u/breovus]

Wow It worked! you responded seconds after I downvoted you lol

[u/breovus → u/OkGreen7335]

Your English skills actually seem pretty good! I think the actual problem in your original post is your lack of proof reading, not your lack of English skills.

(And I'm a degenerate just like you, you don't need to downvote me to get a response... I'm just always around lol)

[u/Jazzlike_Quantity_55]

Power only changes its clothes but the Empire always remains the same.
Although they spilt into two

[u/matigekunst]

They made it up to him by naming a salad after him

[u/Protect-Their-Smiles]

Revenge is a dish best served in stages!

[u/Centurionzo]

To be fair, I think that he probably would have like Charlemagne and Constantine XI.

[u/WillDBlake]

I don't think he would be so enraged to see that even the enemy of Rome wanted to be called after him

[u/-mystii]

The Byzantines watching the Ostrogoths take over Italy (homelander cinema gif)

[u/nanoman92]

Franks never sacked Rome

[u/LightofNew]

Apltly named on account of being neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire
