he idea that Austria would be the weak-link in a scenario where Napoleon himself is isolated in Egypt, his armies are scattered across Europe and Russia is actively backing them but has the Tsar and their army already committed to fighting the Turks in conjunction with the French is also ridiculous. They would have had five years to recover in this situation, they had one of only two commanders who historically defeated Napoleon in a pitched battle (Archduke Karl), force concentration against a divided opponent with no clear chain of command and modern staff system. This is assuming that Metternich, who is curiously absent in this scenario, wouldn't just do what he historically did in the exact scenario of Austria being sandwiched between France and Russia and just try to cleave Austria to France for its long-term survival; despite their supposed gambler mentality they were the last major power to join the Sixth Coalition and did so despite every hurdle Metternich could throw at their entrance.

Late, but I remember reading a story where Napoleon was at a party before he invaded Russia, and one of his courtiers insulted the Austrians as incompetent and easy enemies to beat. Napoleon then scolded them by saying "Clearly you were not at Wagram." People like to joke and mock the Habsburgs, but they won more of the battles against the French than they lost, it was just the ones they lost were the bigger battles. But what really gets my blood up when lazy Austro-slander comes up is how Austria never got beaten out of the fight against the French. They were involved in nearly every single anti-French coalition and were a constant thorn in the Emperor's side from day one until he got thrown off to St. Helena. The Prussians lost their entire army in one battle and were a non-entity for most of Napoleons reign. Austria lost bigger battles multiple times and saved their army to fight again every single time, despite having problems with nationalism, ethnic conflicts, and an ancient bureaucracy. That their armies stayed loyal and fought with no question is a testament to their best qualities.

Austria may never had the glory of Frederick the Great and his type, but they made up for it in sheer stubbornness and a knack for coming back from catastrophe over and over again.

Why don’t you take a look at his channel and tell me. I for one don’t know too many capitalists who use Lenin as their PFP, call themselves comrade, and defend the DDR and claim “socialism is better, scientifically.”

Hakim is an interesting figure. He is an Iraqi who is pro-Saddam and believes gassing the Kurds was justified because they were backwards reactionary people. All the while preaching communist internationalism and hope for a better future.

Why does he do these things? To borrow a quote from Alex Jones to use in a somewhat different context: "Because he's a FLAMIN' LOON! They like it!"

Reds don't view the world like right wing people do.
 
The funniest part about Hakim is that someone like him would easily end up on his husbando’s shit list and get sent to a shallow ditch in the desert courtesy of the Ba’ath Party.

Has anyone else noticed a lot AI slop videos on military history appearing in their feed? The writing is obviously done by a human, I think some of it is german paper back shit that was written in the 1990's, that someone has fed into AI for narration and visuals. It's nearly all bullshit.


This is my favourite British soldiers loved the SMLE during WWII because they could do quick magazine changes.

Yeah, it's really fucking annoying that this AI slop shows up. It makes finding new channels much harder

I've touched on the plague of sleepy 'history' AI videos before but we're now getting a plague of AI videos on how to generate sleepy 'history' AI videos. Hopefully that means this nonsense is finally winding down.

Maybe this will be what finally, thankfully, kills the internet for normies. The desire to get away from barely sentient subhumans and the spaces they gather.

I, for one, cannot wait for the entire internet to become a dead mall for the same reason that malls became dead malls.

Malls could not fry people's brain chemistry in the same way the internet has.
