What is the one thing you'd change in history?

[Benuty]

I would introduce science and technology to the egalitarian hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic, so neither religion nor social stratification finds a place in the world.

So therefore becoming a god.

#Paradoxical logic.

Henry A. Wallace as VP in Roosevelt's last term. A subtle change that could have had massively positive repercussions for the country, and the world.

[Jetan]

Make Soviet Union lose Continuation War in a way that doesn't involve Germany winning overall WWII and doesn't allow USSR to attack Finland again after the fact.

[Murkwood]

I'd have stopped the Protestant Reformation.

After that, I would have stopped the overthrow of the Tsar.

Protestantismin is slightly less bad than catholicism (especially pre-reformation catholicism) and even Lenin (not to mention the provisional government) was better than Nicky old boy. And this comes from someone who is very much anti both communism and USSR.

The fall of the Tsar led to every single one of the more than 100 million deaths due to Communism.

How cute, and quite wrong.

How so? If the USSR never existed, Communism would probably have never gotten so large.

Are you familiar with the pre-USSR history of Communism?

It was never on such a large level before the USSR.

[United Marxist Nations]

Make Soviet Union lose Continuation War in a way that doesn't involve Germany winning overall WWII and doesn't allow USSR to attack Finland again after the fact.

So, no way?

[Conserative Morality]

No, it restricted itself to being a recurring undercurrent and prominent political force in European countries, particularly repressive ones.

[United Marxist Nations]

Well, yeah, Russia is kind of a big deal. Doesn't mean it didn't have other stuff going on. The idea of Communism caught on in China several years before the Russian Revolution, and there was a big one in Germany as well.

That actually means a lot, coming from you. But, yeah, Tsar Nicky was about one of the worst leaders you could get, when he wasn't engaged in killing large numbers of his own populace, he was off on wars of expansion (which he usually lost).

EDIT: Plus, Russia would surely have lost WWII without industrialization.

I'd have taken out the voter turnout clause in the first referendum on a Scottish Assembly so that it would have passed and cushioned Scotland from Thatcher's genocidal policies

Well, first off... That's not correct. Secondly, if the Tsar never got deposed my nation might still be oppressed by Russia. So...
And USSR certainly wasn't the only communist/socialist nation to butcher people by the millions.

Make Soviet Union lose Continuation War in a way that doesn't involve Germany winning overall WWII and doesn't allow USSR to attack Finland again after the fact.

So, no way?

Hey, if I'm by some miracle able to 1) travel in time and 2) just go and change anything to my liking, then I'm sure the Alien Space Bats that made that possible in the first place will find a way.

That actually means a lot, coming from you.

Indeed.

I'm picturing you giving Stalin ecstasy, and him essentially doing this to the Finnish at negotiations:

I'd stop people from romanticizing the myth of primitivism as feasible, and desirable.

Because having some person cut open my scalp, and then cut a hole in my skill in order to mutilate my brain sounds like so much fun.

That still leaves the fallacious appeal to nature issue.

Primitivism is so stupid though, for all the reasons listed previously by Benuty, and because it was actually statistically much more violent.

And because the bozos that usually advocate it would not survive a day in their ideal world.
