>"If we had not used the atomic bombs, far more people would have died in a conventional attack"
How about just not attacking? The Japanese military was already crippled. And you are separated by the Pacific.
They were afraid Japan was going to become communist.
On a similar note, I feel a lot of people forgot Japan was in the Axis, and commited Nazi-tier war crimes against mainland Asia.

The U.S.S.R. had plans to take more than Hokkaido from Japan.
Why did the US choose to forcibly end segregation?

btw I'm not trying to be edgy with this post, just legitimately curious. I know it that it benefitted whites over black people, but why was it actually ended?
Surely it was extremely unpopular.

In this case the Spartans since they were working to break the Athenian league which was abusively collecting tribute from rival city states.
Athens claims they would use it to protect them from Persia, but for the most part it was to enrich Athens itself.
Of course Spartans ended up becoming the next imperialists after and would get BTFO by Thebes.

My boy is really into Ayn Rand and anarcho-capitalism.
How do I convince him that paying a select few to govern everything we do and how much we deserve, i.e: statism, is the only way, otherwise everything humans worked for will vanish?

Literally not his fault. He didn't have the technology to see the parallax, so he was forced by his evidence to say that the sun revolved around the Earth.
Also, assuming that objects fall at differing rates in air isn't that bad of a derivation, since they do in liquids. Air and Liquids are both fluids, and buoyancy wouldn't come around til Archimedes.

What was the Nubian Dynasty of Egypt like? Did they accomplish anything?
They ruled over Egypt for a while. The Nubians conquered Egypt after the Bronze age collapse, so all the doing the Egyptians had in them had basically been done by then. All that was left was to wait around until the new wave of Mesopotamians began knocking about.
>>3121412
The Canaanites and Jews loved them for their support against the Mesopotamian conquerors.
And they brought about a cultural revival of traditional Egyptian ways.
>>3121412
Nubians and Egyptians are rooted in the same proto-culture and the foundations of Dynastic egypt lies on the Upper Egyptian/Nubian border regions.
I suggest you read about Nabta Playa and get out of your head this idea of starkly contrasted people feed by both /pol/ and other reactionary groups.
Egyptians sought to differentiate themselves from their closest neighbors and cultural siblings, it's really just that simple. It's like when certain Anglo nationalists called and compared Irish to blacks.
Case in point; take a look at how Nubian depicted themselves vs how Egyptians depicted them.

It's probably a Joseph from a nativity. He holds a candle/lantern sometimes. It's probably a sign that you need to be more pious.

>Honor? Huh! Honor's killed millions of people, it hasn't saved a single one.
So, what's honour anyway? Why do people care about it so much to kill relatives and themselves in their name?
Was he right?
could there be trust without honor?

Imaginary concept like all others

Why are the Portuguese such a violent people?
All across history you see them killing and conquering without any moral or sense of justice backing.
Want of territories and lack of population
it helps to hold turf if you can correct the population imbalance

Why do religious people ever attempt logical justifications?
Just admit you believe in a work of fiction because it's comforting.
The notion of always does not apply to a transcendental being above time.
This is the worst counter-argument in the history of counter-arguments.
>"Because there cannot be an infinite regression of causes and effects, there must be a First Cause."
"Yeah okay but happened before that aye?"
Its fucking retarded. If God had something that came before Him, he wouldn't be the FIrst Cause, something else would be.
A much better counter-argument is "Why is the First Cause sentient? Why is the First Cause an intelligent being? Why identify the First Cause with the specific Deity of your particular religion? How do you go from 'Causality demands a Beginning' to Yahweh?'
This argument basically amounts to saying 'What happened before that which had nothing before it?" which is a contradiction in terms.
Fuck.
>>3120999
But that's unfalsifiable.
Again, why do you try to use logic?
Just admit that you like high fantasy.
