  • In WW1 uniforms lagged a bit behind the times! In the days of massed musket fire, those bright colors were needed to distinguish groups of friends from foes in a battlefield covered in smoke from black powder. By WW1, though, misidentification had become less of a problem, smokeless powder was in use, and by the end of the war, they’d all switched to nice, neutral, inconspicuous colors! These here are colonial troops, so it might be that they’re trying to avoid friendly fire, or it might just be for the picture.

    Even the best monarchs do not justify monarchy; it is a position inherently created for abuse. You may have a good king, or two, or ten - even kings who WILL put your wellbeing before their own interests - but invariably they will always be outnumbered by those who seek the position for the sake of abuse, or who succumb to the structure of the position which encourages abuse. Likewise with landlording. The problem isn’t with individuals, the problem is with the system.
