That's a reasonable if slimy statement. No reason was giving to disregard the current historical narrative, however.

It's true, although he's pussyfooting around by simply saying 'terrible events happened'. Japanese soldiers committed a mass murder, more like.

Is progress something you do, or something that happens to you?
Should we be actively trying to predict, invent, and enforce the future, or wait for things to happen (scientific discovery, cultural movement, juridical precedent, etc) and adjust to them?

Can we agree that everyone was a villain and thug in the Troubles, including the British, but the Republicans had slightly more reason to their actions than the Ulsters and Brits, making them the lesser of two evils? Bad vs. Worse, essentially?

No hard evidence, but it wouldn't be implausible that Napoopan read Sun Tzu.

Is it really that plausible? Was the Art of War even translated in French (or Greek or Latin for that matter) at the time?
Given that warfare is first and foremost about deception, it stands to reason that two great generals could come up with this idea independently.

When did modern firefight tactics like room clearing, SLICING THE PIE memes, and other CQB/Urban tactics stuff came to existence?
Like were they present in WWI and WWII or developed much later?

The ancient greeks knew that they wouldn't elect the best officials by voting, rather the most well spoken and popular people.
So they just threw dice, they elected people to office by lotto. Pure chance, about as good as democracy, and it prevents demagoguery a bit.
Discuss this cynical system. Were they right to do it? Is pure chance about as valid a way to elect politicians as a test of charm, like we do today?

The West has figured out a long time ago that the best way to govern is by splitting the power and let as many people as possible govern. You have a lot of reading to do.

The Black and Tans are some of the most over the top evil men I can think of aside from the obvious Nazis. Mustache twirlers to the core.

Can we discuss Zersetzung and other applications of power for seemingly petty uses? Or just crazy uses? Not sure how to best sum this up.
>moving furniture, altering the timing of an alarm, removing pictures from walls or replacing one variety of tea with another. Other practices included property damage, sabotage of cars, purposely incorrect medical treatment, smear campaigns including sending falsified compromising photos or documents to the victim's family, denunciation, provocation, psychological warfare, psychological subversion, wiretapping, bugging, mysterious phone calls or unnecessary deliveries, even including sending a vibrator to a target's wife.
Was this ever done at other times in history? Just fucking with people like that?
