ITT: benevolent dictators
Of all the Fascist dictators, Franco was a very nice man.
I think equivalently v. nice man on the left side would have to be Hoxha, he left the people nice bunkers to play in

ITT we post historical photographs is photography of anachronisms within society.
Do not post pictures of battles or monuments and instead focus on the people of history.

Why would anyone ever trust an antinatalist? I mean this in a serious sense. Why would you start a business with them or enter a contract with them? They have completely eschewed adult life and believe that life isn't worth living. That's basically a mental illness disguised as a philosophy.
>>3142519
it's funny when people dredge up irrelevant non-issues and try to make a big deal of them
my guess is they want to flog their ideology war by finding new enemies to target
>>3142519
Yeah exactly. I've been thinking and the world needs about 100 billion more people.

Can you prove them wrong?
Don't really consider myself a leftist or anything but I don't see how he is wrong when it comes to capitalism, the United States, etc. I don't know a lot about anything though, so perhaps I'm missing something
Is Chomsky wrong about his political standpoints?
>>3141853
Nah he's pretty much spot on. One of the smartest people probably ever.
>The Republican Party is quite literally more evil than Hitler and the Nazis
>>3141970
He's right. Nazis were autists but you can't fully pin the blame of the war on them. Neocons, on the other hand, are actively seeking war and to fuck up foreign countries leading to millions of innocent deaths.
Nazi germany would have won the 2WW if the USA had not participed? In my opinion, of course because they were the second economical global power and he had the best army of all Europe. Sooner or later, the ussr would have fallen and nazi would have got its arm and resources.The invasion to UK would have done before 1944
maybe he shouldn't of declared war on us then
literally the only time we've ever been declared on, and he got his ass kicked
>sooner or later the ussr would have fallen and the nazis wouldve invaded the isles
Can you explain to us how is this possible?
>>3141728
>Sooner or later, the ussr would have fallen
why? The USSR had more resources, more manpower, and a larger economy. When Germany failed to win in 1941 they were finished.
Pro tip: You can't

Could someone explain to me the hate-boner everyone including guys like Jordan Peterson have for postmodernism?
I kept seeing the hate so I did research on it. From what I could tell it's a completely natural and logical extension to modernism, wherein you question all the old traditions and break the old order to be more "progressive". I really don't understand how you can think modernism and the abandoning of certain traditions is fine, but postmodernism which does the same thing but goes further is not. Isn't that pure hypocrisy?
Pretty sure that it's not hypocritical to want a thing but not the thing taken to its utmost extreme.

Imagine you're walking down the sidewalk to a happy life and somebody rips the sidewalk from in front of you, and you're now spiraling aimlessly in null grav while everything is being shat upon by atheists and feminists are flocking to Islam for the structure it provides.

All of who you mentioned plus Anne's sister Margot, Rutka Laskier, and Helmuth Hübener because I hold immense respect for him.
pic related, what I'd be doing to all of them (minus Hübener).
Yalah everyone talks about US military, Russia troops, what about Indian Army? We have been proud soldiers for thousands of years and we won every single war since our independence. We fucked Pakistan and China hard but no one is talking about it. Sad how Indian army is never treated as he should be
I heard you guys still use biplanes and shoot handguns at each other as dog fights

ITT: Aesthetic Flags
The Republic had a simple but comfy flag
>Orange stands for the house of Orange-Nassau, the family of Stadtholders
>White stands for the long coastline of the country
>Blue stands for the ocean, which is the republic's to conquer
Banner of the House of Seljuk is by FAR the best Turk flag
How historically accurate is Dunkino?
>>3137775
Didnt watch it, but it probably leave out important facts (like the fact the French were protecting the evacuation the whole time) to focus on Brits getting a few bombs while they sit on the beach
Here's a short documentary that will tell you about the real Dunkirk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6C5P-AYGdY
Didn't watch it, but I'm going to take a wild guess that they literally made a film about the battle of Dunkirk without even mentioning French troops.
>>3137828
Well, they managed to make a game about WW1 without mentioning the French, so at this point...

They did have it coming.
Who else here /ACW/? Easily the most interesting and prophetic conflict of the 1800s, maybe falling just a bit short of the Napoleonic Wars, but still, interesting as fuck. Any Burgers live near any battlefields? Anyone a part of any reenactment groups?
