Which Period/faction is the best.
| No Old West? You could buy land for pennies back then Also the Prohibiton era, where people actually drank more alchohol than before the prohibition. Not to mention  |
 |
| If I lived in the crusader era half the people posting in this thread would have died of smallpox at the age of 5 so Ill guess thats preferable |
| If the crusaders don't win we take the holy land and then some. |
I'm a shitposter for fun |
| Crusaders I guess. Too much Nazi anime this year. OP are you a history major or you just like these type of topics? |
 |
| The Progressive West 2017 is my choice and sucks the least. I probably would fare well under the Confederacy, though I'd still have a draft to worry about. Unlike the Progressive West, I cannot really say I would sympathize with any of the other periods. I don't know if medieval Europe and Asia were that bad, as a large part of it could come from historical misconceptions and fiction that could be exaggerating alot of it. |

 |
| Since the Soviets are my favorite faction in Red Alert 3 I'll vote for USSR, but then there's Hitler, probably the most famous man on Earth after Jesus. |
| Too bad the 1980s isn't a choice. That decade was about as chose to equality in the west as it got. It was the final decade before the toxic third wave feminism existed. |
 |
| Don't even need to think about this one. Deus Vult, you goddamn infidels! |
| Everything after the stone age was trash. |
| I like my periods red and without lumps in them |

| Oh it’s so horrible living in the West in 2017... What with our high life expectancy, technology that makes our lives easier than ever, and overall more equality all around than in any other moment in human history. But goddammit...some 20 year old retard in some liberal college said something that makes me upset! I wish I could live in the 40s when the world was at war! “Hurrr durr born in the wrong generation!” |

Most people who read about WW2 go "holy shit, I'm so lucky I wasn't born back then", but then you have: Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

Ivich said: nazi germany was the closest humanity ever got to defeating the evil plaguing this planet. and because they failed, we are now suffering from the consequences. now that things have gotten worse than they were in the 20s/30s, i hope we will see a movement 10x more extreme than the nazis to make up for it If the Nazis winning world war II meant that we would avoid embarrasingly terrible trolling like this, then I guess its a shame they lost. |
| Sometimes I wonder what people like Nyu would do if faced with actual discrimination. |
Nyu said: Fijure said: If I lived in the crusader era half the people posting in this thread would have died of smallpox at the age of 5 so Ill guess thats preferable But lets be reasonable, DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!  Btw, the crusades may have seemed nice on paper, but only the first one really accomplished anything. After that it was just one embarrassing failure on top of another, and it ended with Europe getting kicked out of the Middle East for good, after which Islam started to enroach on the Balkans. Also remember the first rule of crusading, which is that you should just attack Greece instead, its much easier. I think the modern Western crusaders in the Middle East could have used that advice. |
| Voted Soviet, because those were the good days when nazi scalping was the norm. |
| I think it's best now. sjw's don't give me such an upset that I would to want to lower my own standard of living. |
 I can see you |
| Saw this thread on the side and thought it was going to be a periodic table thread. Bitterly disappointed. |
Nyu said: spuukiebuugi said: > you are literally mentioning identity politics (usually revolving around Nazism) in every thread, including threads that are not about identity politics, and you don’t understand why people are tired of that, and that not everyone wants to hear about your fetish for Nazis in every single damn thread > smh I've only talked about the Crusades in this thread and I don't talk about nazism or identity politics in every thread. No, sometimes you talk about white genocide and feminism (Unless we count those among identity politics, I guess) |
| swords ruling the battlefield, guns and/or bows deemed disgraceful to use, and one can simply wander from one place to another making cash doing odd jobs along the way, and no one questioning why two males travel together... yeah teach me some asian and drop me off in the nearest traditional inn. ill get used to the smell of horse shit and constant state of war soon enough. |

Crusades. Deus Vult, infidel. Now, seriously, overall Pagan Europe or Hellenism + modern science could be quite interesting and aesthetic. And given time and resource, I believe both would be able to achieve a good degree of rights for their people, but not in a stupid way. |

| just throwing it out there but the other day i was driving and came across a road sign it had spanish text large enough to read, the english translation was so small i had to strain to see it. the signs in many work places around me (close to central america) are the same way. i predict i will have to learn spanish to survive in america before long, even with trumps dipshit idea of walling off mexico being in progress. our government just keeps making laws that favor illegals more than residents and legal immigrants. on the other side of this coin i can remember when my home town was a white neighborhood and the nearest black resident was nearly two hours drive away. now i've got mexican families living next door and half black cousins. it doesn't bother me in the least to live next to, or be related to people of another color or country as long as they came here legally, but it does bother me that i cant find a fucking job because jose and his 30 brothers hopped a fucking fence and got hired for a fraction of the pay i could of got for doing the same task without a translator tho. |

Well I'd be more inclined to blame the (probably white) business owner who's employing illegals for peanuts. But that's capitalism for you. Don't worry, in the next twenty-forty years Jose will be replaced by an autonomous machine, the next logical step in the eventual self destruction of capitalism, and that's coming from a guy who's based his entire livelihood on capitalism, so don't peg me as one of those nutty anarchists or communist losers. |

(Disclaimer: not a personal insult, just a note on how priviliged English speaking people are) I know C#, does that count. Oh wait, I also know how to speak some Finnish, because it's such a widely used and practical language to know. |

| @ CondemneDio said: Having to learn a second language lets you get on the level of the rest of the world :) Congrats! (Disclaimer: not a personal insult, just a note on how priviliged English speaking people are) i actually already speak english, german (rusty on this language and trying to learn more), some amish dutch, and a very limited amount of spanish. but as i see it one should not force someone else to learn a language just because others are moving into the country. if you're moving in learn to communicate with the language of the locals. i personally wouldn't go to india and expect the locals there to know german. or go to japan and speak russian. so why should i learn spanish to talk to someone across the street or to speak to a cashier, or even to read a classroom book in english class? |

| @Woodcutter I guess C# kinda counts lol Finland is super-hyper-relevant... At least that's what our politicians try to lie to us. @NekO_RelliK Nice, made a false assumption there :D I can see your point. Quick question: what's your opinion on compulsory second languages forced on the main part of people to make the lives of 5% easier? This example is straight from Finland and how we are forced to learn Swedish in school. |

You might be a valued worker, but it won't matter much when the majority of blue collar workers are unemployed, which means there'll be a gigantic gap in the economy. |

| It's clearly missing the Napoleon Era. That was the most interesting one by far, starting with stuff like the French revolution, continuing with conquest all over Europe, seeing the biggest army ever created to that point, seeing that army defeated by frost rather than another army, a shit tons of battles won while being severely outnumbered by superior tactics and strategy, top ten anime betrayals, a massive amount of new inventions, of reforms and changing the way things are done on many many things, the end of the feudal era for the holy roman empire (which will lead to germany unified and the world wars) and so on. Truly a fascinating age for Europe. Compared to that, all the other ages listed just feel uninteresting. The period around 1620 (+-30 years) is super interesting as well in many places. This is the 30 years war in europe, ended by Westphalia, which was historically the first time several countries met each other to negotiate. Nowaday it's a common happening, but Westphalia was completely new. And it changed the face of Europe forever. Many stories of that period are super interesting, like those from sweden. In Japan, this is the period of unification as well, with the end of the sengoku era and all the betrayals, everchanging alliance, turmoil. Once again, Japan would be changed forever by that period. And so on. |

| @NekO_RelliK That's what the majority of Finns feel too, today. In certain cases Swedish can be useful, but for the majority it's a nuisance (such as myself). |

The majority would quickly become your problem when your employer can't afford to employ you because the majority can't afford to purchase your employer's goods or services because the majority is unemployed. Nobody really wins here, at least not in the long term, that's why I called it the self destruction of capitalism. There's only two possible outcomes, the regulation of autonomous labour, which likely wouldn't go over well with any self-respecting capitalist who wants to cut their costs. Or the adoption of a socialist economy, with a base wage paid to everyone which covers basic costs of living. Plus a lot of other reforms as well, I'm imagining Star Trek but shittier. That also wouldn't go over well with any self-respecting capitalist, but if it got to that point I doubt they'd have much say in the matter. |

| If I could travel through Time, then Austria-Hungary after the Ausgleich or the German Empire before WW1 would be quite interesting to visit. Oh and Imperial Japan around that Time during the Meiji Period as well. However, living-wise, there is no better Period than now imho. Even the 80s or 90s didn't have as much Conveniences as the 2000s and 2010s like with faster Internet Speeds, much better Computers with much more Space + SSDs, cheap and large Screens, established Onlineshops, plus no War Fears (Cold War), I can more easily travel to other European Countries + even use the same Currency, so I don't have to exchange Money + I don't have to pay Roaming Fees now. |
| Modern times work for me. Computers are awesome. [Bad Religion reference goes here] |
 |
| Feudal times, things were simple. Even if living conditions were tough. Not saying I'd like to live in that time period, just imo the best on the list. Though America after the war is nice, too. Why this list, though? Victorian England, Gilded Age/Prohibition America, I honestly think are much more interesting. |
