A thing that should probably be mentioned with regards to Shi Yousan is that these are not entirely in order, because he betrayed Feng Yuxiang 3 non consecutive times.

Fool me three times, and I can only assume you just want to watch the world burn

That's such the worst way to flip flop. You want to get your time in with warlords or Japan first, flip to nationalists, then flip to communists, then you get to be a national hero.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

but it says "subsequently betrayed"

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 7 points 21 hours ago

If wikipedia is to be believed, Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to be buried alive when they discovered he was planning to defect to the Japanese.

He must have had a sick military uniform collection, but there were much better ways to acquire it.

Okay but according to Assassins Creed he was a cute twink

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

NOOOOO He can't keep getting away with it!

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Always felt bad for Alcibiades, dude got fucked over for trying to actually win the war.

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

A tragic anti-hero, yes, and thus the most Athenian out of anyone, but every time I go back to the sources I find him worse and worse. I read a fun paper a while back that pointed out that all of his claims to fame were almost winning something. With the exception, I suppose, of the Olympic chariot teams he sponsored, and even there he hedged his bets by entering seven teams.

Plus he has all sorts of domestic violence anecdotes and stories like "Alcibiades once went into a bookshop and asked for some Homer. The bookseller said he was all out of Homer. At this Alcibiades wittily punched him in the face."
