People today do that much later just look at Veeky Forums of "geek culture"

There's literally nothing wrong with Veeky Forums

You could have pointed to /toy/ or /v/ to better make your point.

Yes and there's literally nothing wrong with an autocrat playing around with military figurines

>implying normal people should be upholded to the same standards as a divenely chosen ruler

A toy is a social construct.
Take for example the bicycle, what some (americans) consider a play tool to be used by children, others use either to efficiently transport themselves or earn millions in competitions.

I mean, the brits used "toys" to win the air battle in ww2.

You don't seem to understand what I meant.

I was watching a video of him, on Youtube, and they said that even after he was married to Catherine the Great, he would refuse to sleep in the same bed as her. And even after being forced to begin to do that instead of having sex or anything, he would have a maid come in with toy soldiers, and make her move them around for them.

Still better than using actual soldiers as toys like the Prussians.

"One time, after he’d spent hours meticulously setting up his toy soldiers in pretty rows all throughout his bedroom, a rat came out of the woodwork and chewed the head off of one of Peter’s toys. The young Czar was so incensed that he caught the rat and held a proper military court martial for it. He proclaimed the rat guilty of treason and hung it on a tiny gallows he’d constructed just for the occasion."

kek
is this real?

You don't actually believe this one do you

I dion't know how good this source is, but I found one for it.
Also it gives this story as well.

"Peter, on the other hand, was an epic man-child. He spent every night in bed with her playing with the toy soldiers he was so obsessed with. Sometimes, he would force his new wife to dress up as a soldier so he could pretend to be a general and put her through intense, rigorous military drills. When he grew bored of that, he’d beat his hunting dogs."

>new wife to dress up as a soldier so he could pretend to be a genera

He was supreme commander. He had soldiers. He would've just summoned an imperial guards colonel.

>murdered by his whore wife and her lover
>this is followed by years of civil unrest because that shit doesn't sit well with all those orthodox peasants
Katharina was a bitch and probably made up most of that shit later on

>ruler
>divinely chosen

>Failing to see layer of irony

What kind of American thinks a bicycle is a toy?

that nigger was more than 3/4 G*rman and couldnt even speak Russian, no wonder he was autistic

Holy shit, I had no idea Peter III was so based. Are there any proofs of this or is it just propaganda to smear him?

BASED AUTIST
He is /ourguy/.

>GTFO bitch, I’m playing army men

this is the only appropriate response. ever.

Based Peter, that bitch shouldn't have killed him

You watched the history channel 3 hour special on Russia? He also supposedly hung rats in his bedroom for treason

Most of us

Wait,is it that one special about the whole house of Romanov ?

No it's a whole history

Y-You mean its not okay to make your gf dress up for your sexual pleasure? I've always wanted to dress mine as various types of soldiers and warriors. Only thing stopping me is the cost.

This sounds to good to be the truth

Could be worse, he could have collected pop vinyls

>a 10 year old memes (at least) are considered reddit memes now
No wonder why this place is so shit now, newfags try to fit in into le serious anonymoose meme

Based as fuck

>why don't they make fresh MAGA memes like us Kool Kids Klubbers at /pol/

>2015
okay kid

TOP KEK

Would it be more acceptable if they were posting about Confederate special forces storming Bergen-Belsen in order to rescue 9 months pregnant Anne Frank?

Quantrill's Raiders, Mosby's Rangers, Forrest's escort company (unironically nicknamed the "Green Berets"), or 1st Special Battalion Louisiana Volunteers?

/ourguy/

Obviously bullshit. You can't fucking hang a rat.
