  • Do you just stop going to work because of workplace shooting? Do you just stop sending your kids to school because of school shootings? Do you stop going to church or the grocery store because some maniac might light it up? Do you stop dating as a woman because you’re most likely to be murdered by the man you’re dating or married to?

    But the short answer… poverty! If they’re fishing it’s for work and if they’re running drugs it’s also for work. They’re doing their jobs bc their kids don’t eat if they don’t. Just because someone drives a boat with cargo you don’t agree with doesn’t make them a demon. That’s _if _ these people are doing that which the US government is giving zero legitimate proof of. But even if they are drug runners, it’s work and good paying work, and probably even a bigger payoff now that the US is on a murderous rampage. If you survive the payoff may just be worth it. They’re people. People with families and with needs.





  • Theodora convincing her husband not to flee the Nika Riots of 532 AD. She successfully rewrote Christianity and global history forever (for better or for worse.)

    I don’t know the specific battle per se, but the conquering of the Iberian peninsula and founding of Al-Andaluz and the resulting age of enlightened that pulled Europe from the Dark Ages. Ie. When Islam saved Europe from herself.

    Also, Fredrick II “failed crusade” and his friendship and mutual love of falconry with Al-Kamil. Not a battle but just a specific historical nerd who loved falcons and diplomacy who probably saved countless lives in his time because “birds”.

    These are my Eurocentric answers, not specific battles per se but definitely pivots in history imo that rewrote Europe and its ability to be a future global player.
