No. His biases are such that it grossly distorts his work and have done so ever since his first book, The Destruction of Dresden.

What was his endgame after Dred-Scott? The House Divided Speech by Lincoln makes it clear that the Union will either survive 100% without slavery and 100% with it and in his debates with Stephen Douglas, Lincoln appealed to working class whites by arguing that the decision in Dred-Scott to ban Congress from regulating slavery in the territories was open-ended, since then the question would come whether Congress had the power to regulate slavery in the states (i.e. Wisconsin can't declare itself to be a free state anymore because it violates the Fourth amendment since slaves are property).
Was this Taney and Buchanan's endgoal with Dred-Scott? Or was it something else?
Crashing this Union. With no survivors.
>>2470270
Was he actually conscious of the divide that this would cause? Or at that point did slaveowners just not give a fuck and assumed they could secede?
Was he right?

It wouldn't suprise me if HE was behind the Kurd threads lately.
Fits with his style to make us hate an entire race by the soul actions of one LARPer.
I once heard this saying about Kurds :
>When there are 2 Kurds, there are 3 political parties.
Is this true ?
>>2469828
Yes.
whats with russians and their obsession wit "warm water" throughout history
Russia doesn't have access to the Mediteranean. Russia wants access to the Mediteranean so it can engage in trade.
trade through shipping is kind of an essential thing
>>2469580
Russian harbours freezed during winter. Trade and generally access to the outside world is impossible in such conditions.
This is why Imperial Russia strived to reach the southern seas its whole existence. They fought with Turks for almost an entire century just so they could have access to the Black sea through Crimea.
Their influence and actions in the Balkans, particularly in Bulgaria and Serbia, were almost entirely set on this same goal.

probably losing to germany three successive generations in a row, including surrendering their capital without firing a shot
>>2469588
This. They were humiliated in WWII and the Franco-Prussian war, and could've faired better in the Great War (although they did much better than the other two)
>dode why fight when you can surrender lmao

We know very little about their original culture tho
Why are the Abrahamic religions so hostile to one another?
There's no such thing as an "Abrahamic religion". This is a stupid term coined by academics to put in the same bag things that don't belong together.
As for tolerance, I tolerate Muslims as long as they stay in their own space. The same way Muslims tolerate Christians as long as they don't try to convert.
Kikes though can gas themselves.
>>2469535
kikes are the real problem
>>2469535
The truth is hostile to lies and deception.
Those 3 religions are exclusivist, one of them has to be true. And it's Christianity.
What did Goebbels mean by this?

Wouldn't be surprised if after the war hitler introduced some kind of soylent green veggie system.
I've never tried a meat substitute I didn't like, but they're always $7 1lb, unless you want to live off estrogenic soy.

HE MEANT THAT DUE TO CONTINGENCIES INHERENT TO THE WAR, ADOLF HITLER WAS WILLING TO COMPROMISE THE VEGAN IMPERATIVE.
IT WAS FIRST NECESSARY TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY BEFORE IMPLEMENTING SOCIOCULTURAL REFORMS THAT WOULD HAVE ENTAILED ENORMOUS LOGISTICAL, AND PRAGMATIC, EFFORT.
Which of the following is most correct:
a) Morals express statements of fact. "Murder is immoral" means "it is a fact that you should not murder."
b) Morals express emotions. "Murder is immoral" means "I don't like murder."
c) Morals express commands. "Murder is immoral" means "don't murder."
>>2469506
"B" beacuse morals are subjective.
>>2469513
Why B and not C?
Alternative history. Would it be possible to prevent the rise of feudalism in the middle ages?
No.
>>2469480
Why would you want it not to happen?
Without feudalism europe would be in constant anarchy.
yeah. by going extinct before it happens
