Do you believe in the Jews were enslaved in Egypt? Even though there's no evidence of it? Because if you don't you might be guilty of hate crime and antisemitism.

Well, are you a Egyptian enslavement denier /his/?

There were certainly Habiru (aka Hebrew) peoples in Egypt, but it's not clear that they were actually slaves.

They might have been hired hands pissed off about working conditions who were exiled.

Old Testament history is shrouded in many layers of confusion, like an ogre.

I just finished Ceasar's memoirs of his conquest of Gaul and now I'm interested in his civil war against Pompey. Recommend any books that give a good overview of events? I'm looking for something that does more than just states facts and and gives dates, no, Ceasar was here, this skirmish happened, blah, blah... I want something that gives insight into what Ceasar and Pompey are thinking, why they did things, the political climate in Rome at the time, something that has some excitement. Got anything?

I'm interested if there was a strong multicultural element in the early (i.e. 20s and 30s) soviet union.

Did they portray themselves as being strong due to the heterogeneity?

Yeah they portrayed themselves as multicultural. I suggest you see the Soviet film Circus (1936). It depicts Americans as racist and lynchers and the Soviets as multicultural and just.

You're welcome. There's literally a scene where the different cultures sing a lullaby in their traditional languages and empashize their cooperation.

pill me on the history of unions in the united states and whether or not unions were really all that great

I mostly hear about how bad working conditions used to be, but I feel like that's mostly a meme, in that it's greatly exaggerating the minority cases that went wrong and we don't hear about the times it went good

Surely it was not all that bad before unions

Conditions were horrible and unions started forming to deal with that but capitalist factory workers hired Pinkertons to attack and even kill strikers and union workers. Things didn't begin to improve until Teddy Roosevelt's presidency.

My ancestors were Irish-American coal miners. Working conditions were horrendous. People worked long hours and worked with heavy machinery in low lighting. My great-great uncle had fingernails that were cracked and bent, and once got a gash on his head from the tunnel ceiling, leading to him having to have an operation done while lying on his kitchen table. My great grandfather died relatively young from brown lung (lung disease from constantly inhaling coal dust). I'm not that old.

>but I feel like that's mostly a meme
it really isn't, there were a lot more ghastly conditions than good conditions for sure
a majority of people who made a living in the coal industry ended up dying of respiratory disease
shit, my great grandfather was a merchant mariner for Newfoundland for just 5 years during ww2 (was a fisherman/handyman for the rest), and he ended up getting COPD

Why do people insist in the idea of "justice"? Let's pick two of the biggest outright fascists of humankind:
>Hitler, died at age 54
>Stalin, died at age 74
Meanwhile the greatest genius of all times, Einstein died at age 76, only two years older than Stalin.

Consider that Stalin outlived many people in the world at the time as the life expectancy was set around 60 years old at average. There ain't fair game. Stop believing bs people tell you. Only science can save us!

What is to be done about shitty, immoral people?

Leave them to their own devices? But this is unsafe.
Attempt to rehabilitate/re-educate them? But this is wasteful.
Punish them? But how?

>Attempt to rehabilitate/re-educate them? But this is wasteful.
How is it "wasteful" if it has an effect and the alternative of not doing anything is even more damaging?

>Punish them? But how?
You forgot to also say "but this is wasteful". Also, same as above.

>>2616299
How can it be done without wasting inordinate amounts of time and money on people who may not be willing to change?

Punishment is efficient. They could take off limbs like they do in Saudi.

It creates capital for private run prisons. However, one should discuss wether throwing people in jail is actually effective. Also, this leads to a lot of potential for abuse, since law enforcement can be in cahoots with private prison owners and send them more "prisoners" while they get a share of the profit

Let's have a chat about this Adorno chap. Admittedly, I am not a man of the left but nonetheless I'm always willing to entertain theory, even if I don't necessarily buy into it. Has anyone read much of his work and has anything to say about it?

What are some his key ideas and where should one start with his work?
7 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
You should start with his "Dialektik der Aufklärung" (Dialectic of Enlightment) his Main Opus, which he has written togehter with Max Horkheimer.
One of his main thesis was that the enlightment is developing in a dialectical process between reason/freedom and superstition/tyranny. In his time the superstition was the believe in capitalism, modern technique and science. Adorno combined the theories of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud to the doctrine so called 'Frankfurter Schule'. With this methodological tool the academic youth should be taught to detect the origins of unfreedom, fascism and capitalism.

Don't know about other cultures but a lot of people in the west in pre-industrial times only bathed like once a month or something. If you time-travelled back to 14th-16th century northern europe you'd be overpowered by the stench
