If you're going to be an anti-China guy, at least be fun and say you want to replace it with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (hexbear.net)

Make a genuine case for why someone is the younger brother of Jesus Christ and why that means he should rule over the landmass formerly known as Ch*na. If you're going to dress up in little soldier costumes and have little flags and pretend the ROC is real, you may as well have fun with it.

Similarly Iran hawks should be calling for the return of the Sublime State of Persia

The Iraq War would have been a lot more lighthearted if the US were going in to remove the Baathists and restore Mesopotamia.

Bring back the Tang Dynasty

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago

Bringing back a specific dynasty would also suffice. Be a Song Dynasty Guy and demand we bring that back. Just see what it would be like. We all know you just want to wear a little costume and they had much better ones than the Taiwanese military.

I started a Typing Heavenly Kingdom but we collapsed due to factionalism between the Qwerty Liberation Front and the People's Dvorak Alliance

I'm trying to imagine what Falun Gong type stuff a CIA-backed Taiping movement would get up to in the USA. Maybe it's a Unification Church but, instead of mass weddings, they put on productions of Shen Yun. Maybe they'll trick members of Congress into attending a coronation ceremony for the Heavenly King like the Moonies did back in 2004.

Also, trying to picture how Trueanon would cover it all.

Taiping were even worse than RoC though

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

I'm sure they were in some "moral" or "ethical" or "body count" way, but they had fun with it. I look at the ROC and they take it so seriously.

Depend who, like all the seriously serious things after Xinhai revolution, and suddenly there is some clown running around, crowning himself, then another one diggin up the mushroom-like Pu Yi...
