It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow chapos. Wreckers/CHUDs are allowed. If they aren't banned yet then report them, don't post them.

At the risk of being ignorant, I truly have never heard anyone talk about the historical ingenuity and wealth of the Czechs, is this just cope about being part of some larger and actually celebrated empire?

Bohemia was pretty well populated and urban compared to the rest of the region, I think.

It was also a part of Austria until World War I. You can't really write the history of smaller nations like this one without contextualizing them within their ruling empires, I think.

Prague was, for a very long time, spoken of in the same category as London and Paris. It used to be a very popular place for intellectuals and artists through the 19th century.

It’s still a popular place for AFI music videos

I had the same reaction. Sure, they were part of the Holy Roman Empire, but I never got the impression they were a particularly influential part of it.
