What country has been the bad guy most consistently throughout history?
Germany has been the bad guy in every war they've fought, but Britain has only ever been the good guys after the Troubles, and has a longer history
Then there's Muslim countries, but who were the baddest guys of them?
Who is the world's enemy?
Britain managed not only to be evil but also to have no redeemable quality whatsoever
>bad guys
your cultural identity always has been and always will be the good guys.
>consistently throughout history
>europeans only know about countries that are consistent within a century or so worth of history
The bad guys for the most of recorded history had been the steppes.
The winner is usually the one who decides how history goes, although there are always clearly black-and-white, evil empires, like Nazi-Germany, most countries are various degrees of grey, which makes it hard to decide who is the bad guy, since both commited atrocities. In that case the victor is more likely to cover their own atrocities up and showcase those of the enemy, markimg them as "the bad guys"
So... England?
Roman Empire - hyper-aggressive slavers, 1000 years of pure evil (at least by modern standards)
US - hyper-aggresive messianic capitalists for the most part of their history
Japan - highest civilian bodycount (WWII)
>highest civilian body count
Stalin and Mao would like to thank you for excluding them
Ghenghis motherfucking Khan and all his forebears and imitators.
Germany and Russia
Stalin's bodycount within USSR's borders is around 15 mlns (most of them are famine victims). His European civilian bodycount is laughably low, around 2 millions max.
The steppe-people
Neolithic europe got wrecked by indoeuros invading, the mesopotanian civilisations were pestered by iranian nomad raders, romans, sassanids all had to build a wall for containment.
Ghenghis motherfucking Khan and all his forebears and imitators, the pre ottoman t*rk and his conquest in anatolia, afghanistan, sogdia and india.
For euros in particular, the germans do a good job at it, for asia its everyone not-sinic as they are dirty barbarian fucks jealous of the middle of the world, africa has a good reason to dislike eurasians in general and in america everyone was a heartripping, conquestadoring edgelord but the mayans maybe.
This.
The sheer number of terrible civilizations and peoples from the steppes is stupefying. It is like God said to himself, "You know what I should do? Create a region that passively infuses its people with the traits of mass slaughter and no redeeming values."
Mongolian Throat singing is the only decent thing to ever emerge from the steppe. Everything else is shit.
What is it about the steppes that makes people cruel?
I got no idea, but I do know that even the Achaemenid's thought the people further to the East were too fucking crazy and that it was just best to give them trinkets and otherwise leave them the fuck alone.
Russia
Why? They fought in several wars to save their slavic bros from ottomans and hapsburgs
Modern rural folks see city folks as weak.
This is the same mentality the steppes had of city folks.
>What country has been the bad guy most consistently throughout history?
Assyrians
>Most brutal conquerers of the Ancient world, famous for their penchant for beheading, skinning and flaying their enemies... cruel with no redeeming qualities, all their enemies united to topple them down.
Romans
>Imperialist Slaver Empire with a love for sacrifices at the arena, they literally rounded up Christian families (ir any other religion that was not approved) and threw them to the lions
>Huns
Cruel steppe nomads that built nothing of value, Huns only respected brute forcem Attila rose through their ranks by killing his own brother, Bleda, and calling himself the "Scourge of [the war] God". They proceeded to rampage across Europe leading to mass migrations of other barbarians just running away from them.
Aztecs
>Religious fanatics who loved flaying, skinning, beheading and ripping the hearts out of their live victims. Famous for their cruelty and hated throughout Mesoamerica, all the other tribes joined the Spaniards against them.
Mongols
>Looters with little redeeming features, the Mongols under Genghis Khan caused the largest number of deaths ever caused by a ruler until Stalin, Mao and Hitler. They put entire cities to the torch, with victims numbering the tens of millions, and burned repositories of knowledge such as the Great Library of Baghdad.
>30 to 45 million victims
Imperial Japanese
>Unlike other Axis powers, the Japanese made many of their atrocities against Chinese and other Asian civilians public... at least 12 million civilians were executed, bombed, or genocided as the Japanese army rampaged through Asia. Fanatical to their Emperor and truly believing themselves superior, the Japanese of the era were capable of some of the worst atrocities in WW2, such as those commited by unit 731.
Then comes the classics
>Nazi Germany
>Stalinist USSR
>Maoist China
Between 15 and 35 million victims each
Hey I got late to work writing this
Someone reply pls
(You)
>What country has been the bad guy most consistently throughout history?
The losers
based genghis
Jews, whereever they were.
most the answers here would usually be called the winners
meme
Good, comprehensive list. However, Rome does not belong on it; they spread civilization throughout Europe. At the same time, compare what they did to what the various tribes they fought against did.
>Who is the world's enemy?
Autism
Mongolian throat singing more than makes up for it.
Britons cobbled and used roads long before Rome invaded with their Germans.
Probably Russia
The Turk.
The Treacherous Turkics
It's obvious
>Britain
>Anglos
>Good
Genghis fucked so many women that today's women say that they are descendants of Genghis Khan
Correction: NU-Jews
Denmark.
From the western point of view, Russia
For latin americans, the anglo-saxon countries
>anglostan
>good
If anything in World War 1 they were the good guys, fighting against the supporters of a country that was probably involved in the Archduke's murder
>t. Swede
fuck off Sven
you are a festering eyesore on the Scandinavian peninsula
Rome - Mentor
Britain - Protagonist
France - Rival
Germany - Villain
Russia - Secret Big Bad
LIKE P O E T R Y
When did Rome mentor Britain? Rome mentored the celtic Britons who were subsequently driven away by the Anglo-Saxon.
It's hard living; steppe people are born in the saddle, learn to ride and hunt before they learn to walk. On top of that tribes were always attacking and pillaging one another.
>France isn't the protagonist
>America not the secret big bad
>no dimwitted Italian sidekick
>no Spanish love interest
>Who is the world's enemy?
Humans.
t. Anglocentric Anglo
that's some p poor reading comprehension you have there lad
In steppe land, when you see girl that must be your waifu what you do is kidnap and rape her. If you both """love""" each other, as you weakling city dwellers often say, it doesn't matter, you must still at least pretend to kidnap and raper her. So as not to offend tradition.
