i'm always puzzled when foreigners act surprised upon seeing genghis khan everywhere in mongolia, as if there's anything odd about a nation plastering their founding father everywhere to prove their legitimacy and the continuation of their state, literally politics 101

Mongolians be like: "Welcome to the Genghis Khan national airport. We hope you enjoy your stay at the Genghis Khan hotel. While here, we suggest visiting the 100 foot tall Genghis Khan statue inscribed 'I can see your house from here.'"

the us puts george washington on their money, names their national capital after him, and puts his face on a mountain, there are shit ton statues of alexander, caesar, and napeleon and no one bats an eye but apparently it's odd and funny when mongolia does it?

i heard that oljei khutugh (empress gi) is considered a national traitor by some in sk 馃槶 funnily enough, queen noguk (budashri) was a yuan princess who betrayed her homeland at the same time... i think we can do an exchange

the dynamic between goryeo king and their yuan mongol queen is hilarious because bluntly his wife is the extension of the yuan emperor overlord, but some of them genuinely loved their wives... though it's not like they had much choice anyway 馃槶

why's jdgr hulegu perpetually a toddler... very interesting design choice, aside from the obvious it's pretty funny to depict the most bloody conqueror of the mongol empire as uwu (literally) baby 馃槶

wanna censor country names to avoid the algorithm from spreading it around but at the same time when you actually try censoring it, it just looks like you have something against that country... the dilemma

there seems to quite few serialized dramas about genghis khan, but almost all of them are chinese adapted so i know it's probably propaganda slop

the whole discourse over golden horde and chagatai khanate is so silly... the founders and the initial generations of the khans were mongol, the small ruling elite assimilated with locals over centuries but the political institution stayed, what's difficult to grasp about that..
