one day i WILL snap and i WILL figure out time travel and i WILL give the soviets priceless technological and historical information to help them conquer the entire globe

i'm a centrist. i think both sides of the sino-soviet split had good points

part of why Dukat is such an excellently written character is that he is a realistic villain, the type you can look to both history and the present to see examples of

in fact, he is so realistic that many people don't even see him as a villain!

like you can understand how, under certain political conditions, a man like this could obtain serious political power, because even real life people look at this genocidal monster and say "oh he's not so bad" or "he has a point"

welcome to capitalism, please enjoy your fucking coffin with a desk in it that you pay me $600 a month for. you receive $800 a month from your job so i hope that you can figure out how to pay for utilities, food, miscellaneous expenses, and also saving for retirement on that amount. be glad that at least you're free tho, unlike communism

according to vasari, he was both 'marvellously endowed by heaven' with 'outstanding physical beauty' and strong enough to bend horseshoes with one hand. so he was basically perfect god-tier twunk. if he flexed at you you'd instantly cum so hard you'd die

this is actually true. all descriptions of him in his lifetime remark on how pretty he was, and during that time beauty was considered to be a sign of intelligence

leonardo da vinci was considered a genius in his lifetime in large part because he was a straight 11, possibly 12

[saying my affirmations into the mirror] every way on every day I am becoming more epic and based. I am having a normal one all the time. I am always poggers. I am never weirdchamp

Look, here is a picture of a plushie!

i dont know how you can live in 2021, see a single news story, and not immediately consider if maybe joseph stalin had some good ideas

@RussellsBarbershopQuartet you just made me think of one of my favorite images ever (cw belly, implied genitals)

mao zedong had the right idea about landlords but frankly he went way too soft on them

Learning that the actor who played Gul Dukat, Marc Alaimo, thought Dukat should be a hero

1. on one level this is obviously awful, since Dukat is a literal Nazi who oversaw the brutal occupation and torture of Bajor

2. on the other hand this is fucking perfect because part of what makes Dukat compelling is that he believes himself to be a hero, so having the actor playing him also believe that makes it more convincing
