Unmatched at removing kebab. RIP Nader the madman

Nope, because mexicans can't fight a war lol

Germania could at least rek Rome occasionally when the fight came to home turf. Mexico just gets stomped over and over again.

So, this I think I can answer. The reason being that the snowflake studies are, if being done honestly, interdisciplinary. There's something to be said about being a scholar who studies, say, black Americans, but is not technically limited to literature, or history, or visual art. The problem, of course, is that these interdisciplinary studies are structured as if they were an honest-to-god independent discipline with discrete methodologies and they're clearly not.

As far as why schools offer any given programs, I have no idea how those decisions actually get made.

Universities want to make money, the best way they can do this is by expanding. Dumber people can get into university if they are going to do some garbage humanities degree as opposed to hard sciences or another reputable field. Of course it helps if you have "academics" constantly shilling in the media for these courses and how important they are.

>Could the Soviets be able to deal with a two-front war against Germany and Japan?
Easily. Hell, even in the worst days of the 41 blitz, the Soviets were increasing troop counts in the Far East, not decreasing them. And there's nothing out there of strategic interest to the USSR. Worst comes to worst, they just retreat and do their same scorched earth stuff, and let the Japanese enjoy trying to claw their way to Sverdlovsk over the charred remains of the Trans-Siberian railroad.

>Would the USA declare war on Japan without Pearl Harbour?
Probably not. But they probably would declare war on Germany sooner or later. Hell, they were already in an undeclared war.

>Why were the Japanese so autistically afraid of the Soviet Union?
Because the Soviets were a neighbor who had a much larger and stronger army and industrial base than they did? I mean, what exactly is hard about this?

>>3389645
>Easily.
Easily? Seriously? That's the word you chose?

>And there's nothing out there of strategic interest to the USSR.
Plenty of mineral resources and even oil.
Without access to the Pacific, lend lease becomes much harder to implement.

>Worst comes to worst, they just retreat and do their same scorched earth stuff, and let the Japanese enjoy trying to claw their way to Sverdlovsk over the charred remains of the Trans-Siberian railroad.
Except without the Trans-Siberian Railrosd lend lease again suffers. They would also lose industrial capacity since there is no option of evacuating industry to Siberia.

>Because the Soviets were a neighbor who had a much larger and stronger army and industrial base than they did? I mean, what exactly is hard about this?
That didn't stop Japan from attacking the USA.

i) Define what you mean by critic (i.e. are critics individuals, expert individuals, consensus, and/or so on and so on), and what critical activity resembles.

ii) Also, does art then not have intentionality intrinsic to it in virtue of being conceived, or at least made real, by someone?

iii) What does all art necessarily imitate?

iv) How does one go about finding good reasons for agreeing with a particular critic? If there are no good reasons for favoring one critic, isn't the practice pointless?

v) Does the creator of an artwork not matter at all?

>>3389518
>iii) What does all art necessarily imitate?
It says "most art", and the answer is "other art"

Catholicism.

The general argument in favor is that it's beneficial to the economy to have private industry and legislators coordinate closely to craft the legislation that works the best for the companies that make up the industry being regulated.

This is, of course, an argument intended to be used on peons who don't know what an externality is or what moral hazard means.

There is no fundamental difference between lobbying and writing a congressman a letter about how you like/dislike the latest policy shift. The only actual difference is in the level of organization and potential resources involved. There is no such thing as some sort of impersonal, public "good", beyond an aggregation of the various interests that make up the polity, and why shouldn't they attempt to inform or get representation for their interests? If we break up legislators by state or electoral district (at least in the U.S.) because we think that the interests of a guy in Connecticut isn't necessarily the same as a guy from Nebraska, why should the fact that one person is part of a steelworker's union disqualify him from seeking representation on that basis instead of the geographic one?

>>3389350
More or less this. "Lobbying" is when somebody seeks to influence government on behalf of an organized group, otherwise it's just you and me letting our representatives know what we want them to do one at a time.

Don't assume "lobbying" is always on behalf of industry, but it is done by any sort of organized group -- the Sierra Club employs lobbyists, Trade Unions do, Pro Life and Pro Choice organizations, the NRA, arts organizations... the list is pretty long, and extremely varied.

In general, I'd say it is better to have everybody able to appeal to the government abbot what interests them, and I don't see any reason why people cant pool resources to do it. That's my option, your mileage may vary.
