Fucking good question. Not only they attacked a serious opponent (well, why not) but they did it... like that?
-Hey guys what if we drop few bombs on the backyard of this industrial power, and then just go back home?
-Good idea Toshiro, let's do it!

They could have at least invade Hawaii, it was very feasible imo. And it would have been a pain in the ass to retake because of the presence of civilians.

They were thinking that the war would be a short affair, and that while the American fleet is seriously understrength, they can overrun places like the Phillipines and the DEI without interference, and come to a peace with honor before the Americans rebuild.

You're insane, or just severely misinformed. The Japanese had enough trouble getting a quartet of carriers to Pearl, projecting an entire invasion force, one large enough to defeat an entire division all that way is far outside their capabilities.

They knew they couldn't win a protracted war against the US, so they planned for a repeat of Tsushima wherein the Americans mass their fleet and send it across the Pacific to attack the Japanese. Along the way they would be harassed by submarines and other fast forces so that they would be tired out and weaker. Then a massive single battle would take place wherein the numerically inferior Japanese fleet destroy the numerically superior, but worn down American fleet.

You can see it in how they designed their ships. The Yamato was superior to every American battleship. They used Oxygen as a torpedo propellant to make them go much farther and perfected the pistol trigger, something that took the Americans until 44' to replicate. If you're interested, read Kaigun: Strategy, Tactics, and Technology in the Imperial Japanese Navy, 1887-1941.

He could have probably flown the Bf 109 before. For e.g Yevgeniy Yakovlevich Savitzky, Soviet ace with 22 victories had found 3 abandoned Bf 109s and later used them for reconnaisance.

>>3324863
Well, yeah, they pretty much did in the 1940's

First of all, education is a worthwhile pursuit in itself. Understanding yourself, your community, and your world better may bring you some joy. If you intend on ending your education after 4 years of undergrad, you are doing it wrong. Even if you do not plan on pursuing a degree beyond a Bachelors, your learning cannot cease if you wish to remain competitive and quench a healthy thirst of knowledge.

Second of all, unless you are lucky, brilliant, or privileged, you will have a tough time in the workforce without higher education. You can look into the labor statistics for yourself.

Anecdotally, I am a few years out of college with a BS in mechanical engineering from a decent state school. I moved to an economically dynamic state, got an junior engineering job paying $40k, got promoted after a year and now make $75k, and am now anticipating a second promotion and hope to break six figures. I work for one of the most technologically innovative companies in the world, do cool work, love my team, and have a great work environment. None of it would have been possible without education - had I not gone to college I would probably still be working in construction.

Additionally, if you hope to have a job in the coming decades once increased robotic automation and AI crushes the labor market, you need to be educated.

Shortest, easiest, cheapest way to make $$$ now is getting into a top-tier programming bootcamp like App Academy or Hack Reactor. 6 months, ~$20k + living expenses, pretty much six figures guaranteed afterwards. But you will have a tough time getting in without a solid academic/work history.

undergrad degrees do nothing like that, come on anon.

>>3326292
Perhaps yours didn't. Studying mechanical engineering enabled me to take a wide set of classes across the physical sciences, math, and programming, and gave me the skills to apply the knowledge I learned.

I worked hard and applied myself and it changed the way I see the world. 4 years of doing nothing with your time but learning is great, especially coming out of the relative ignorance of high school.

My understanding is that most religions follow the "just be cool. bad people will be punished in the afterlife" mindset. This passive view is harmful to Communist revolutions because workers won't violently revolt and seize power if they are under the impression that enemies will be punished after a natural death.

Because Western Civilisation was founded by homos and was WE WUZ'd by the Dune trio, predominantly by the Christfags, to serve the (((money-makers))) who outlawed homo-ing. Communism is a continuation of civilization as a progression from the civilisation the Greeks established (yes slavery->no slavery including wage-based). Communism is also ok with homos so obvious ancestry with the Greek tradition, both in opposition to contemporary Anglo-centric neoliberalism who draw from the money-grubbing Judeo-Christian lineage.

Do you mind if i save this senpai?

Probably a short sword like a gladius. Stabbing is always better than cutting or hacking.

probably the sabre. can be used on horse or foot, and pretty much every culture with horses has used a variation of it.

Rehabilitation through forced labour. everyone gains that way.

Depends on your goal.

The fundamental goal is reduce costs to the community caused by crime, that can be broken down into several aspects.

> Direct economic damage caused by the crime
> Social damage to the victims and their family caused by the crime
> Economic cost of punishment for the prisoner
> Economic cost of removing the prisoner from the economy (reduced labor force), and reduced economic value of the prisoner from having been a prisoner in the first place
> Social damage to the family of the prisoner

At the base level, all of these is achieved by reducing crime and not having to lock people up in the first place. There's the argument to be made that punishment is more effective than rehabilitation due to fear of it, but there the counter argument that punishment is ineffective at preventing recidivism.

Yeah God exists.

By obsessed with them, I mean, obsessed with their trade. Whole trade routes were opened and wars were fought over them.

There were only so many ways to preserve food and even fresh food was hard to maintain tasty so people would kill for a new novel taste.

Because food was really bland and distasteful. The same reason sugar was a luxurious commodity.
