      Yeah, just looks at the size of lithuanian empire before the union. And Commonwealth has been pushing east very often. If Zygmunt III wasn’t such an utter fanatic dumbass it could pretty easily ended in actual 3 nations union.

    Really not thrilled about the fact that western propaganda has been making healthy use of the term imperialism lately

      It’s the term they weren’t able to completely distort yet, so as socialism is on the rise worldwide they need to make it completely illegible for their people.

        Belgium looks like both this and the pic in the post.

        Hell, turning a block in Antwerp can mean the difference between this and futurism. And it’s a good city to live in, despite looking grungy in some parts.

          Sure, in bigger cities there are very moden looking places even in Poland. As there are absolute slums, if not for the climate and mass socialist building we would drown in favelas already. Such posts like in OP imply averageness though.

    If Russian Imperialism not existing would make that much of a difference, then just imagine how the world would be if Western Imperialism didn’t exist.

      Yeah; like Russia has been effectively preventing Europe from developing this whole time.

      They developed not just in peace, but in power and they squandered all that protecting wealth and preventing their people from having a life unfamiliar to poverty and precarity.

      Again. China is doing god damned great. The fuck is the US’s excuse? Where’s my trans continental hyper train; Uncle Sam? Where is it you dead beat worthless dog?!
