      on one hand, we want to disincentivize wars of conquest but then we also want to disincentivize wars of REconquest, at least for their first order effects but if you permit wars of REconquest that might disincentivize wars of conquest by making their gains less solid

      so you know suppose Saddam Hussein conquers Kuwait, we can view his expulsion from Kuwait by a billion troops as discouraging future attempts to conquer places even as it is kind of bad in the first order

      so we perhaps we need to consider what might be the optimal statute of limitations here yes how long do we wait before saying "you know what maybe dont reconquer this place please its not going to have a conquest-discouragement effect"https://twitter.com/selentelechia/status/1393658138138537985 …

      unfortunately there is no cut and dried rule, you might view reconquest as worse if (eg) in the mean time theres been some massive culture conversion to the conquering group but this causes its own problems because then maybe the conqueror is incentivized to ethnically cleanse

      this thread spurred by me wondering when someone was going to cancel disneys robin hood on account of it being full-throatedly pro-Third Crusade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzQig2VIhXw …

      also spurred by reading Pyle's Robin Hood and wondering if the Anglo-Saxons will ever rise up in an ethnonationalist purge of the Normans, facilitated by modern DNA testing techniques

          maybe making the rules of conquest/reconquest legible would lower the costs of war

          maybe i dunno the historic war winners could find a way to discourage their own aggression by causing themselves psychological damage for doing so
