You know how cali was once part of the territories of New Spain? I'm just pointing that out because reading this:
Seems you can take the state out of Spain, but you can't take Spain out of the state. Now if you excuse me I'm gonna go cry for a while 'cause I did not expect this high a dosage of feels when I came to my funny CWC forum.
I'm starting to think that unironically. I mean, so far I've been saying since the night of ballots happened that we were staring into the "leading to" segment of history where the factions consolidate right before flags and arrows start popping up all over the map. But at this point it's starting to look less like that and more like the simulation's just got a botched update and all the mobs went coocoo for coco puffs so now we're stuck in la la land while the programmer figures out how to patch this shit.
Hey.... Remember how many comparisons I made to Sagasta? Remember how Sagasta justified the creation of Turnismo (our uniparty)? Yeah 'cause he did it by naming his party the UNITARIAN party and using EXACTLY THAT FUCKING RHETORIC.
Textbook. They copied the whole fucking textbook back to front. I keep having fucking flashbacks! To anyone who studied spanish history it genuinely feels like we just entered fucking GROUNDHOG DAY. I know the saying is "those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it" but it shouldn't be THIS FUCKING OBVIOUS.
They threw out the envelopes and then mixed the ballots. Which means if the court rules they weren't valid they just poisoned the well and caused the whole election to be thrown out with them.
They're literally just getting triggered over other lefties making very obvious and bad meme parody tweets about the boog boys because they are so detached from reality they can't even tell whose side the original tweets are on by the fucking feminist/antifa icons and rainbow/trans flags in the usernames.
Yes, the left just managed to trigger itself. And then they wonder why the sane lefties are becoming moderate righties.
Yeah but they're pretty fucking bad at it.
In the wise words of the late Alexander Anderson:
Don't weep for the stupid, you'll be crying all day!
I could go on and on with examples from my history books. But just know. Mein Cat Fuhrer over here is 100% right and that's exactly why I have been warning you lot this shit's gonna cause social unrest either way and it has a very good probability of spiraling out of control.
Even outside of civil wars, to use a more well known and notoriously not spanish example. Remember ww1? You really think every faction there was in it because ol' Ferdinand got a bit of a headache from an enthusiastic serb? Fuck no. Russia and France had made their alliance specifically to go sandwich the krauts long before that, and indeed the Russians had a lot in their plate so they were a bit chiller but the French had been in full revanchist mode for a while. Austro-Hungary had been seething for an excuse to go stomp on the balkans and slavs for decades, the Otomans had been even more hardcore into that since the poles fucked them raw, Germany feared russian industrialization and was already seeking for an excuse to rampage into moscow to kick that shit down before it became a threat, Britain had spent the last years fucking everyone else's fleets at the slightest excuse for similar reasons, etc. Etc. Etc.
WW1 was gonna erupt sooner or later. Ferdinand was just the first excuse they got. If the war pops off don't expect it to come from some grand act. It's gonna be a fucking meme tier tismfit over seemingly benign shit. Hell for another example. Remember the schism of the catholic and orthodox churches? It happened over the inclusion of a single word on a prayer that didn't even change the meaning. A word that indeed wasn't so much included for any political reason as it was a mere mistranslation due to the east using greek and the west using latin. That's it. That caused the christians to go into a civil war that split the religion in half and allowed the rise of islam unopposed. THIS is why the christians lost control. A fucking translation error. Now if you take into account just how much the east and west had hated each other long before that point and the political power strugle between the pope and the patriarchs, it makes a lot more sense. But yeah, the drop that overflows the glass is always the stupidest shit imaginable.
