Accidental Renaissance
AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
π Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

The Civil War... The bloodiest war in American history; brother fighting against brother.

...for a little context.
I hope that ends up being worse than this. I'm not sure it will be, but even if it is, the Civil War is a very high watermark. Things can get very very very VERY BAD without reaching that point. We don't want to get anywhere close to that
I simply chose the most obvious episode. There are others that were worse than our current time. We havenβt even topped the JFK/RFK/MLK era.
None of those had the president selling classified documents to the enemy countries.
Last I checked we arenβt a cunt hairβs breadth from nuclear war with Russia.
All of the 80's were like that, the cold war
Mostly cause I kinda doubt the Russian have fully operational nukes. The minutemen missiles are bitch to maintain with a military budget of fuck you. Meanwhile the Russians cant even build a proper modern MBT thats not based off of old Soviet tanks, either the missiles or warheads are broken is my bet.
