“Fear Mongols” was actually what Genghis Khan called his army
Markwayne Mullin: "The Democrats throw out all these fearmongels to try to make ICE and President Trump's administration look as worse as possible" 🥴

dumplings are a side effect of Mongols
In honor of Lunar New Year, one of my all-time favorite maps:
How dumplings spread around the world
(tl;dr: It was largely, though not exclusively, the Mongol invasions!)

Meanwhile, your extremely successful expansionist polities - Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Mongols etc. - became successful because they incorporate outsiders.
The biggest winners (Rome, Mongols) do so the most intensely.
Diversity *is* strength, it turns out.

I guess I can see why you wouldn’t think Russia was waging a brutal colonialist war in Ukraine if you also put scare quotes around the word “colonialist” in reference to the literal Mongols, lol

literally *the Mongols* thought this was taboo barbaric behavior bsky.app/profile/ecla...
low key one of the trump administration's stupidest foreign policy ideas that will probably cost the world the most in the long run is "every time there's negotiations let's just blow up the negotiators lol"
For a very long time there was an international taboo on assassinating foreign leaders even of countries you were at war with, and the Trump administration thought it was because people were pussies not because "now they're gonna try to kill YOU"

Now, most genocides do not actually kill most people, because it’s quite difficult to kill all of a people! The Mongols, however, were really good at genocide. Something like 99% of Ismailis were killed and the rest went into hiding.

Jesus’ interventions in military history have been difficult to intuit. Odd that he went in so hard for the Mongols
Hegseth: "May almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight. To the American people, please pray for them every day on bended knee with your family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ."

Anyway genuine props to her for giving this a go, interesting data point on the increased salience of video games in campaigning, this is not as good of a way to do it as e.g. AOC, where it's much more organic (which is also fine, not something that will work for everyone).
