Italians are a bunch of un trust worthy people, they betrayed Germany in WWI mid-late war.

They made the same mistake by not mobilizing immediately, buy the time they did it was already too late.

honestly, italians dont have a strong sense of national identity or sense of honour in the traditional western sense. they are highly emotive and compassionate, but 'getting one over you' is their cultural grading of intelligence. in the picture i posted from The Economist, you can see that Italians rank themselves as the least trustworthy people in the EU.

To expand on italian lack of nationalism, italy still strongly stores its cultural and social loyalty to the city/town/area you are from, at a stretch if you are from north/south/one of the islands. this attitude finds its basis in the many principalities and kingdoms that made up the country of italy today, showing that as a people, they have a fractured and distinct history thats disjointed from any overarching national narrative

So what if Germany had settled on one design (chassis/hull wise) for their tanks and got a proper assembly line working instead of having 37 smiths making ball bearings in their barns. Would it have had a noticeable impact on their tank production and production costs?

For this example let's say that instead of making the PzII, III, IV, 35 and 38, they went with only the Pz IV instead. It's close enough to the III to justify scrapping that, II could be replaced by armoured cars in function and the 35 and 38 were just there because the Czech factories were already tooled for them. The IV has a larger turret ring, so scrapping IV for III wouldn't be feasible. I know that this is a whole lot of hindsight, but in principle, theoretically, what impact would it have had?

I'm running an alt-history pnp and want to make it at least plausible, but my autism can only go so far.

I don't understand your question....if they settled on one tank instead of trying to build 379433 tanks all with different parts and chassis would it have affected the outcome?
>>
>>2781916
I'm asking to what extent it would have affected the outcome. Would it have been enough to matter on the large scale or not?

you dont understand how it works

the tanks (dont call it tank, call it armor) have a purpose

in 1939 the purpose of armor was to quickly get behind enemy lines, a wreak havoc in the supply line
the PzII, 35 and 38 reflect that

then the war showed it is important to have your armor able to overcome other armor so you developed better protected and better armed vehicles

warfare develops, you cant say if they started procuding panthers in 1939 theyd win the war

the need did not rise, the technology was not there and certainly no experience of large armored battles

the czech series provided a great platform for SPGs and anti tank SPGs, so it was not as much of a wasted production

but even your flawed idea cant overcome one thing
the germans were running low on men, even on crews
it takes a long time to be able perfect driving a tank, to move in formation etc.
they wouldnt have enough to fully fill the ranks

New testament is more about what you do as a person and how you are given faith than strange rituals and observances in the old testament.

None because Christianity is antithetical to human nature.
Christ's teachings were eschatological in nature. He thought that the end of the world was at hand. His teachings only make sense in this context.

I'm hardly an expert on the NT but from what I have read it does seem to have a certain "finality" to it. Like we're living in the end times and should embrace love, God, etc with this kind of mindset.

idk. I've made it a mission for the next few weeks to read the bible cover to cover so I guess I'll see.

I am getting into Monarchy as the ideal state more and more, but I'm having trouble finding all the reasons why it is viable, especially in modern times. Specifically Constitutional Monarchy.

While I don't really mind it since 4chan prides itself on being contrarian you should know that Alexander is one of the most iconic figures of the West.
Trying to 'disprove' his greatness won't mean squat since 99% of normies won't know or care.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27appel_du_vide

>L'appel du vide, literally "the call of the void", is a French phrase used to refer to intrusive thoughts, or the urge to engage in destructive behaviors during everyday life.[1] Examples include thinking about swerving in to the opposite lane while driving, or feeling the urge to jump off a cliff edge while standing on it.

Curious about works and philosophers dealing with this idea. Is this kind of concept unique to Western thought or is this dealt with in other cultures as well?

BACKGROUND: The experience of a sudden urge to jump when in a high place has been speculated to be associated with suicidal ideation; however, scant data has informed this speculation. We termed this experience the high place phenomenon (HPP) and proposed that it stems from a misinterpreted safety signal (i.e., survival instinct). The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of the HPP, to provide evidence that the phenomenon is not exclusive to suicide ideators, and to explore the role of anxiety sensitivity in the phenomenon.

METHODS: 431 undergraduate college students completed online measures of lifetime frequency of experiencing the HPP, suicidal ideation, anxiety sensitivity, depressive symptoms, and history of mood episodes.

RESULTS: The HPP was commonly reported in the general population, even among participants with no history of suicidal ideation. There was a significant correlation between anxiety sensitivity and the HPP, and this relationship was moderated by level of current suicidal ideation. Particularly, the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and the HPP was potentiated among participants with low levels of suicidal ideation.

LIMITATIONS: The cross-sectional design of the study limits the strength of the conclusions that can be drawn.

CONCLUSIONS: The HPP is commonly experienced among suicide ideators and non-ideators alike. Thus, individuals who report experiencing the phenomenon are not necessarily suicidal; rather, the experience of HPP may reflect their sensitivity to internal cues and actually affirm their will to live.

Is there a bigger BTFO in WW2? The Greeks won every single battle against the Italians before Hitler came for help
>>
>>2781532
Maybe Russo-Japanese War and the battle of tshuima but even then Japan was a regional power with a decent army and navy. Greece didn't really have anything, their weapons were outdated and they were barely organised while Italy was a modern world power and got pushed back to Albania. I agree it was the biggest BTFO of ww2.
