It shouldn’t but it continues to blow my mind that adults think like this, and it’s the majority who do. How was there never a point aroind age 11 or 12 where these people noticed that pop history is simplified and that people in the past werent cartoon characters and lived equally complex lives to you or those around you? That kinda came to me as I realized that other people have their own internal thoughts just like I do and if people have lives and thoughts of theirnown now, everyone probably used to as well.
Plus why would you be interested in vikings if you dont wanna learn abkut em? What do you spend your Viking time on? Reading Hagar the Horrible and saying ‘hell yeah?’ cause that sounds fun but not really exploring an interest. I have this cool brain thing where I am compelled to either become an expert on something or not care about it whatsoever, I am a little weird that way, but the way people combine ignorance and enthusiasm just blows my fucking mind. Like, i’m a fairly smart cookie and a little brainweird, but people gotta meet me half way or admit they don’t know and arent curious about basically anything including their own supposed interests.
I can’t relate, the fantasy stops after I turn of Hoi4. We unfortunately and unjustly live in a timeline where Stalin stopped at Berlin and I gotta accept that
FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME STALIN DIDN’T STOP AT BERLIN
The Soviets took all of Berlin and continued to advance westwards until linking up with the western allies along the Elbe and Mulde Rivers, Stalin just later stupidly gave the perfidious French and Anglos their own section of Berlin after Yalta and Postdam
it’s hard to relate to the way these people choose the fantasy in their head instead of learning the first fucking thing about anything
notice the phrasing. “Absolutely determined to make everything Rubbish”
‘You’re ruining my fantasy with facts. Stop disrupting my fantasy’
Anglo spotted for the use of Rubbish

Huh, good to know.
Stalin shouldn’t have stopped in Potsdam
so they stopped at a slightly different place in germany?
A completely different place 100 miles further west, all of that extra land became part of the DDR, capitalist west berlin was surrounded by the DDR
thank you ClathrateG. we will do better
Thank you
Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Torgau

that’s what idealism is. that’s why every idealist’s first concern is ensuring that all beliefs are treated equally, unless they might cause a change
