news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Reading his Wikipedia article is a riot. There was one time when he almost died because the royal carriage he was on vibrated too much or how he got a hemorrhage one time from coughing too much. It really goes to show how much resources was invested toward making sure this kid didn't die from a nosebleed and how if Alexei was born in a peasant family, he wouldn't have made it past a month as a baby.
The only sympathy i can muster for the royal family of Russia is over Alexei, and the only credit I will give them is that Nicholas when the time finally came made the decision that Alexei should be allowed to live in peace rather than be tsar. But yes, had he been poor he would have been dead quite early
True, though if he was born in a peasant family, he probably would have not had hemphilia, let alone a case this severe.
