Two things in this world I cannot stand: Intolerance of other people's culture... and the Dutch.

I just realized I'm not aware of a good common name for elite historical Chinese infantry. No hoplite or legionary or immortal or knight or samurai or viking or janissary or housecarls or etc. I know there's layers to those, but they're a decent enough term to picture who you're talking about.

Where had I heard that...

Oh, yeah. It was the Rubberbandits song Horse Outside.

"Giddy up now baby, bless my soul

I rode the fucker round a field back since he was a foal

He runs a bit like Shergar, and he jumps like Tír na nÓg

He looks like Billie Piper after half an ounce of coke

And the boys are lookin' jealous, as I lead yer one away

And just before I close the door I look at her and say

Would you be my girl, and she says I will of course

If ya grab me by the ponytail and ride me like a horse Ya!"

Yet, as far as jumping horses Tir Na Nog looked pretty average.

there's actual economic incentives for invasion.

Colonization has been decent enough economic incentive. The New World expansion they released in 1492 just cemented that even more.

Not entirely without historical precedence, either. There were large-ish pauldrons in use in European warfare, if the knight was wielding a one hand mace/hammer and shield. The bits sticking out protected your neck because you'd present yourself to the enemy weapon arm first and the added weight was subtracted from your other shoulder.

That said, two were not used simultaneously.

90% of Christianity is white slave mentality Christianity these days.

"Turn the other cheek" and "To the least of these..." heavily reenforced without context.

Even if you aren't your synod likely is.

Then he's kinda gay in the first place for having a Twitter account that wasn't a burner.
