True, seems a lot harder for your average joe to pirate things now though, as in ISP's actively tell you off now and things like KODI piracy carry harsh sentences.

Anarchism appeal to remote agrarian self sufficient communities that really didn't NEED a state. It probably made sense at the time.

Now the legacy is carried on by wealthy transgendered Bohemians who never stepped foot outside of a massively complex super metropolis.

Good thread anon but I'll have to stop you there as we're running short on time

back to pol with you

There was some sort of belief that the center was weak enough to not have the capacity to resist such a surge of manpower

also Lee's position was growing ever more desperate as getting tied into the engagement for so long left him in danger of being encircled by union reinforcements I'd reckon

some rash action was necessary

When the first Russian fleet was created the Dutch shipbuilder was asked on a flag, since Russia had multiple back then. Slavs stole the Russian idea

> Blue is Slavic oceans
> White is Slavic snows
> Red is Slavic blood
Looks logical to me.

Is /his/ just a place to bash Serbs and Russians all day? I know that /pol/ has a hard on for Serb nationalists because they wish they could emulate what the Serbs did in the 1990s, but I don't get it.

Most of the Somme participants on the British end was from Kitchener's Army, which had only just been put together. On the French end they were veterans.

Artillery coordination and Haig's cavalry autism.

The British artillery failed to pull off their "creeping barrage" technique properly. Their shells did not destroy German barbed wire as intended nor did they provide sufficient cover for the infantry (artillery officers were operating on the assumption that the infantry would advance MUCH faster than they actually did).

The French artillery was much more coordinated. However they did not successfully execute a creeping barrage properly either; the success of the French artillery had more to do with weakening German positions than providing effective cover for the infantry.
Allied commanders in general severely underestimated the sophistication of the German defences even at this point in the war but the French basically got lucky here.

Also the French commanders weren't as autistically obsessed with creating a breakthrough for a cavalry charge as the British were. The British had an absolute shit ton of cavalry waiting in reserve in order to exploit a breakthrough which never came, which tied up lots of resources, horses and men which could have been used to greater effect elsewhere in the battle. The French had by this point relegated their cavalry almost entirely to a logistical role, which was the only real use for horses on the western front (i.e. as beasts of burden rather than a mobile attacking force), but the British were too stuck in their old ways.

The only thing I'll give the British at the Somme is their use of tanks was more effective than people give them credit for. Most people seriously underrate the psychological effects of tanks in this battle. Despite their mechanical failures, they were morale-boosters for the British and the Germans were absolutely terrified of them.
