but it's true though. I've listened to people who genuinely think monty was a great general because he beat a ragtag army half his size, even while they're unwilling to admit that this was an achievement because the germans were kicking the brits ass all over africa up until then

There is no left, or right in America. Just two different big business lobby parties who differ on a few social issues and that's it.

we lost the war bro , it went full communist

but we lost it due to politics , our military fought with one hand tied behind their backs

>>3206915
there is no other way how to loose a war

Hilarious that all """"""communist"""""" countries today are actually totally not communist.

Based North Korea tho entirely untouchable

Its entirely an American invention

But its not confined to just right wingers, I was reading the Unabomber manifesto and he was outlying that the greatest value in society is individualism, no wonder then you have all these leftypol kiddies lapping up that Stirner bullshit "the individual is basically a God".

In European philosophy (minus the eternal perfidious Anglo) the problem has always been one of defining positive freedom in political movements. From Absolutism, to the Enlightenment, to socialism and Fascism this has always been the essential political struggle.

>democracy is rule by the people

Jesus Christ Americans never cease to amaze me.

its only that in America. Right wing in europe refers exclusively to stormfags. The small eurobrain cant handle such concepts and has to choose between either a communist dictatorship or a fascist one while the superior north americans can run their own lives in the comfy wilderness

To be fair to Christianity, Roman paganism had no real sense of charity whatsoever. 'Eugertism' isn't exactly the same thing. Lots of poor people greatly benefited from Christianity, particularly before the rise of a centralised, wealth-exploitative Church.

>>3206238

The Romans may have had no concept of charity but the idea was far from new in Christianity, the Greeks certainly had such concepts and in fact it is from the Greeks that Christianity adopted the idea, not vice versa.

All those holidays, dude. The Church had 60+ holidays a year in the middle ages, or so I've heard. Not gonna look it up now

why people get so up in arms about sexuality is beyond me, like yes the way i've been brought up i find public displays of it confronting and personally would adhere to a fairly normal attitude towards it but it's hardly the worst thing in the world

if it is between consenting adults, it does no harm to anyone, and causes no ill provided contraception is used

it's cliche but the contrast between how we treat displays of violence vs displays of passion is bewildering

why repress something that is as much a part of human expression as any other biological function?

>>3206159
>why repress something that is as much a part of human expression as any other biological function?

Because it's an integral part of the desert people religion we practice.

>>3206170
it's pretty bloody silly
not to say that we should thing the pendulum to far the other way, at the risk of cheapening/contorting sexuality, but its completely harmless and alot of fun

He was kind of a yes man, just sat there and signed of things that the government would have done anyway during ww2. Hirohito struck me as someone who didn't really want his position, he said "I first found freedom in England" or something like that, because he loved the causal and friendly attitudes of the British royals. He also seemed more interested in travelling, marine biology, Disney and just having fun compared to being considered some sort of Jesus figure.
Here he is enjoying a spot of golf in England.

Compared to granddad? No.

Better than his father though who was legit mentally unstable.

In its most traditional form? No. Politics in the west is getting more populist and authoritarian. Whether you go right or left, Trump or Bernie, there is a common trend among both their movements.

The theme is that they will be paladin Presidents that will get into office, bring the evildoers to heel, and fix the country through their force of will.

Perhaps society is shifting back to monarchy, but not in the manner of the ancien regime. More in the manner of having a plebiscite electing the strongman

syndie scum need to fuck off
Huey Long did nothing wrong

>>3205662
But... I know Long was a "populist", but was he against unions? I thought he was popular with the worker class.

this has to be a meme, the South was mostly agrarian until after WWII, and syndicalism was past its heyday by then (in fact, it would be heavily scrutinized as 'communist' by contemporary US authorities)

even in the prime of trade unions in the US as a whole - from about the 1870s to WWII - syndicalism was never a strong current since even basic socialism was so frowned upon by the establishment (the New Deal era being an exception)

I mean....it literally just hit me that it's already August this year. Swear to god time goes faster every year.

It's such a weird feeling when the timeline of history finally hits you and you understand just how immensely long and amazingly short it all is.
