Ideologies don't form people, people form ideologies. If all Europeans collectively adopted islam tomorrow, you'd have tranny imams and people saying Muhammad was gay within a week. The same applies to Christianity, Atheism, Paganism, everything. It's not the ideology that's cucked. It's the people.

A realist.

Cleopatra lived closer to the present day, than to when the Pyramids were built

The last mammoths were alive when the first pyramids started going up.

The Mayans invented the concept of zero around the same time the Roman empire fell.

This is more /sci/ but

Because the anti-racist libcuck crowd loves FDR and can't reconciliate with the fact he was a racist.

What are you talking about? People talk about them all the time. A better question is why people don't talk about the internment of Italian and German Americans.

Because they are nothing compared to what the japanese did to westerners in the places they invaded

Yes. For centuries they were literal boogiemen, at a time when the printing press and the renaissance/englightenment was causing writers and literature to proliferate. Surprise surprise, a lot of it was anti-Turk, and since lots of it has survived, it's colored our perception of their civilization.

Because they committed a large amount of genocide in recent history, and their government will jail anyone who admits that fact in their country.

>No Near Eastern/North African should be ashamed of who they are.
I concur. No one should be ashamed what their ancestors did, because it's in the past and we have to move forward, even if we wish to stay in the past. Stop the guilt trips. I'm proud that my ancestors called crusades on your ancestors, and they slaughtered men and women. I'm proud that they enslaved people and killed millions because they could and had to. And I'm proud that your proud, because there's nothing wrong with being proud of your ancestors.

It wasn't a genocide, the vast majority of natives were killed by disease.

>ITT: we brainstorm our own corrections systems
Hard to determine what's "too hypothetical/rose tinted" and what's not given the relatively pressing human element in the problem. What's the highest conceivable goal of a corrections system? 100% of prisoners being fully "rehabilitated"? Is that attainable? How much do you need to shave off of that percentage before it is?

>>2961766
Ex Public defender here, but also drinking, so coherence may be down real low.

At least in my experience, primary cases that involve incarceration are drug ones. Users outnumber dealers by over an order of magnitude; but the penalty system is such that dealers face the predominance of penalties.

That might seem fair (hell, it might be fair, I'm hardly the one to decide equities), but from a pure crime deterrence aspect, it's a terrible idea. Bounce dealers out of the system, prices spike, which attracts more people into the life of drug dealing. Meanwhile, the primary consumers stay on the market, because they get parole or slap on the wrist sentences, so the drug market stays active. And nobody wants to see the sort of surveillance to stop the problem from the other end.

Also, we really need to come up with a coherent theory of punishment. Is this to deter others? To rehabilitate criminals? Simply to express community outrage over an act? I've seen all three, but nobody really goes through and says what we do in regard to one (or all) of these theories, and as a result, we have a haphazard system that doesn't actually accomplish any of its stated goals.

Make the law much more strict, make people fear to broke the law, punishment should be made more severe
To save money, drug crimes got instant death penalty

Misanthrophy, eco-facism, non-religious spiritualism to name a few.

Hedonism too if you enjoy being alone

Isolation Hedonism?

Some currents of Theravada Buddhism.

There was also that guy who lived in the middle of nowhere in Argentina for like 30 years straight all by himself until hipsters started showing up to interview him.

Corruption, incompetence, and being led by an utter retard.

Yes, it is overrated; primarily because every single German officer of the First World War could deflect blame of his own failings into "WE DIDNT FOLLOW DUH PLAN!"

It was absolutely insane, calling for moving horse towed artillery heavy armies at a speed that a mechanized one would struggle to attain, and having no backup provisions in case it didn't work. Moltke the younger saved the plan by eliminating the retarded "swing around all the way to approach Paris from the northwest" nonsense.

>Was the battle of the Marne really a miracle or was it a planned strategy by the French high command after the defeat in the battle of the frontiers ?
No, it was a lucky break they seized with both hands; the Germans didn't have to open a gap between their forces like that, and the French certainly weren't planning on it. But the idea that the Germans could keep advancing indefinitely is also impossible, and they were due for something snapping, given the overall levels of fatigue and lowering of operational strength as they advanced.

Would've worked if Britain didn't join the war.
But the Schlieffen plan resulted in the cause of Britain's involvement as a prerequisite for success, via the invasion of Belgium

Everything is backwards there, even the colors of their political parties are reversed.

Every once in a while the party beliefs get changed up after either a massive fuck up or the president changong something big

It looks like the party lines are once again going to ne shifted
