December's Q&A Livestream is at 2 PM Sunday Eastern Standard Time. Ask me questions about Geopolitics, Politics, History, Philosophy, Literature, Culture, the Future, Religion, Personal Taste etc... Again, try to limit "What if ___" questions. As patrons, you get first dibs, which means I will answer your questions at the start of the Livestream and your questions get priority. I didn't do a livestream in December since I was overworked already.

What if someone expected the Spanish Inquisition? What will be the biggest challenges in Biden's presidency? Will the 21st century be worse than the 20th? Are the Americas the core of Christianity now that Europe has become increasingly Atheist?

Do you believe china will successfully copy the American consumer culture, allowing it to sustain a economy not fully dependant on exports? Will we begin to see a deeper understanding of china in the west, particularly America, or will the public remain under or uninformed? Is Wang Huning and his efforts as foreign minister the major driving factor behind the modern CCP, rather than XI?

People often say that "reality is often stranger than fiction" since reality doesn't have to follow any rules to seem believable(either due to being too random or too ridiculous). What historical event in your opinion perfectly encapsulates that saying?

Since I recall you saying that this is likely to happen in the near future (2/3 odds IIRC), what do you think an military junta in the United States would be like?

if some gambling site in lets say United States back in 1914 offered people to bet on who would win World War 1. How much would some gambler betting 100 dollars on an entente victory in World War 1 have won, when the war ended, and when German defeat was a fact? Also how good ods/chances will you personally say that Germany had of winning World War 1?

(I won’t mind if you don’t get to answering of all these) How likely do you think it is that America will return to isolationism (or atleast be concerned with only the Americas) and shift its attention towards space exploration/industry? Do you think some form of seppuku should be adopted in American politics? By the way, what do you think of seppuku? And lastly: With America larger than Europe in size (excluding Russia) and half in population, do you think America has simply became too large to be a republic? Do you think greater state autonomy or even monarchy will become more likely in the future?

Why do Americans confuse social-democracy (welfare state inside capitalism) and socialism (collective ownership of production and abolition of private property)? The Portuguese were the first Europeans to buy Subsaharan slaves, using them in sugar cane plantations in Cape Verde and Madeira (15th century), at that time slavery had almost disappeared in Western Europe. The Arabs used African slave labour since the 9th century at least, and used them continuously up to the 20th century. Did the Portuguese adopt African slavery from the moors who occupied Iberia? Why is the Anglo-Saxon world much less antisemitic than Continental Europe? The USA is generally considered the first modern republic in history. What was its main ideological influence? Republican Rome? Cromwellian England? Dutch Republic? Or was the choice of a Republic mostly pragmatic?

What is your favorite Nostalgia Critic episode?

Do you have any thoughts on Basque people and whether we are in general that genetically different to the surrounding peoples or not? It's something that interests me quite a bit, all my ancestry coming from the Basque Country and surrounding regions (not all of them generally considered that culturally close to the Basque Country despite the proximity though), but it's a heavily politicized and extremely polarizing topic here in Spain, so it's impossible to have a fairly productive and imparcial conversation about this here. Also, any thoughts on the "Late Basquisation" theory, which claims that inhabitants of what is officially considered nowadays the Basque Country don't descend from the ancient Vascones and Aquitani, but were later on "Basquisazed" by invaders from the other Basque provinces (Navarre and the French Basque Country) after the Fall of Rome?
