eight inches 'look he may have sold out the people he sold out the people he sold us out for but that thing be swangin'
last defection was to the Japanese
died in 1940

A thing that should probably be mentioned with regards to Shi Yousan is that these are not entirely in order, because he betrayed Feng Yuxiang 3 non consecutive times.
A modern Alcibiades!

Okay but according to Assassins Creed he was a cute twink
Always felt bad for Alcibiades, dude got fucked over for trying to actually win the war.
A tragic anti-hero, yes, and thus the most Athenian out of anyone, but every time I go back to the sources I find him worse and worse. I read a fun paper a while back that pointed out that all of his claims to fame were almost winning something. With the exception, I suppose, of the Olympic chariot teams he sponsored, and even there he hedged his bets by entering seven teams.
Plus he has all sorts of domestic violence anecdotes and stories like "Alcibiades once went into a bookshop and asked for some Homer. The bookseller said he was all out of Homer. At this Alcibiades wittily punched him in the face."
He must have had a sick military uniform collection, but there were much better ways to acquire it.
"Eight inches"
That's such the worst way to flip flop. You want to get your time in with warlords or Japan first, flip to nationalists, then flip to communists, then you get to be a national hero.
i think i just learned about my new hero and he's dead so it's impossible to meet him and dispel the worship. lol
