On the winning side, I imagine.

Because at some point after the first few million you turn into a dragon that must hoard wealth and the people that generate that wealth become a cost to minimize.

WWI was objectively the most world changing and sets the stage for the entire modern era, if you squint WWII was just the Extended Edition of WWI all that being said WWIII was still my favorite.

War of the Roses, winner of Best Named War

Don’t let that obsession drag you down under.

[jigglysackles@lemmy.world]

I missed the memo. I am just generally anti war and don’t like reading about them. War is all because of dickhead leaders that can’t act decent, treat others right, or talk things out without being little insecure manbabies. And when manchildren in power have their big boi pp insulted they make the less powerful fight for them instead of doing anything respectful. Some rebellions which lead to wars are justified. Gotta stick it back to the empowered manchildren sometimes. But it all comes down to a shitty leader.

I decided to focus on wars of leftest and/or peasant uprisings. Often heart breaking, but man if you’ve ever enjoyed cheering for the underdog, they are definitely that. Plus, you’re automatically learning about the Class War at the same time

I’m partial to the War of Jenkins’ Ear myself

[bricklove@midwest.social]

I got the 30 years war. I’m not disappointed

[brobot9000@lemmy.world]

How about no. No wars.

Being fans of mass graves and killing machines is weird.

[voyajer@lemmy.world]

So much to learn, we don’t even know how it ends yet

It’s probably just too broad to treat as one war, but I always return to reading the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. So many poetic, cinematic moments that for western civilisation defined our subsequent history. Where are we if Crassus doesn’t desperately need a triumph but gets fed molten gold instead? If Marc Anthony and Cleopatra rule the Mediterranean from Alexandria? If a comet doesn’t convince half of Rome that Caesar is a literal God?

WWIII nut here.

Get yourself a Red Cross emergency kit, a lot of water jugs, and ramen. You’re underestimating your chances of survival and how much you’ll want to.

Mine just says WW15 and has a picture of a green tiger in space

[boozilla@lemmy.world]

I’m the War on Christmas guy, and I’m getting my ass handed to me every single year.

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

I bet we’re all space tigers by then

May I recommend Summer of Blood: The Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 by Dan Jones?

My favourite war was the War on Everything
