Could America realistically ever become a totalitarian state?

Yes. Fear, doubt and uncertainty can create totalitarian government. People just need to be fed propaganda and it will work.

yes, after some kind of apocalypse you will get a patchwork of warlords and 1 will absorb or conquer the others and eventually form a large totalitarian state

Something about how the defences in singapore were facing seaward as the British expected sea-based assault for decades
The Japanese assaulted by land, British resources were too stretched and under pressure, and the general in command of defence was not really the sort of leader you'd want in this situation

I'm halfway through this one. What's cool is that it was made long enough ago that they have plenty of actual soldiers and such featured. Good stuff.

I was playing a Total War game where Universities reduce public happiness because of "clamor to reform", E.g becoming smarter and realizing the issues with governance. Made me go off a tangent and wonder... If a western Democracy started to destroy Universities, what would happen? Would students rise up in an armed rebellion? Could it be successful in a coup attempt?

Sorry I know this is highly hypothetical but if people would comment their thoughts on possible reactions to this kind of action in real life?

How Accurate is the European version called Borgia:faith and fear vs. The Borgias on Showtime for depicting the life of the Borgia family? I personally find the representation of some characters like Cesare, Juan, The Farnesse's in Borgia to be more thorough, I do love the depiction of The Pope by Jeremy Irons though as well as the character Micaletto. I do see how the guy in the other series was more fitting description wise for the Pope.(one thing, Rodrigo was fat). I heard a lot of fiction and b.s. was added in the Showtime version but is that true compared to the other? For example, I highly doubt Lucretzia is the one who killed Juan, it was likely Cesare.

I will admit the Showtime version was much more impressive visually. That's also probably why it ended early though.
>>
>>2958423
Showtime version legit had some of the best acting around on tv. The chick who played Lucrezia is insanely underrated and the guy who played Juan was too. I spent the first two seasons wishing Juan would die and then when he was I missed his presence in the show.

What exactly are the political implications of Hinduism and Indic religions?
Since the 60s it has been seized by New Left and made to reinforce their agenda.
However when it was first vogue in the west, it resonated with reactionaries and fascists, frankly /pol/ types such as Evola and Savitri Devi.
What gives and who is the white-washer?

As usual, the Left embraced only the simplistic image they themselves created of "Muh Tolerant Poo-in-Loos", heavy on the hashish and pacifism but light on true comprehension of Hinduism as it truly is.
>>

>What gives and who is the white-washer?

Both. The right has it's own self-created image of Hinduism, albeit one that is more concerned with nuance and genuine respect rather than superficialities.
>>

They had to be "spiritual" but they also had to be edgy and christian spirituality is too close to home, so they literally took a globe, saw that India was on the opposite side and said "that one, tres exotique". If there is any meaning to the "cultural appropriation" meme, that would be it.

True Hinduism resembles more the good wholesome 50s nuclear family, being chirpy and upbeat all the time, not being a neurotic hedonist.

Full virtual reality which sends the signals directly to our brains via neural connections will make the real world a shitty obsolete place to live.
Your real life and body will become irrelevant.
All we have to do is wait till it comes out then, we can say goodbye to all our problems.

You'd still need to eat senpai, and maintain your biological body.

Now if you mean eventually digitize/cyberize your brain and then just spend the rest of human civilization (Either until the sun destroys Earth or heat death of the universe) in virtual heaven, sounds dank. I've heard that the Casimir effect means you could technically always have a gradient to operate a computer even beyond heat death of the universe so I guess you might be onto something.

It was a good idea against people who have little idea of siege warfare.

Ceasar tried the same with Pompey at Dyrrachium and it ended with a disaster.
