R*ddit unironically buys into /pol/ memes and is 10x larger

The alt-right worship makes literally no sense whatsoever, they're the types of morons he'd have tossed out of helicopters. Economically the guy was a neoliberal globalist who was buds with Milton Friedman.

Americans are the worst people on the planet. I'd like if europe won't let those idiots in

Why wouldn't they? The rest of the world was the US' economic, political and military bitch to varying degrees for basically the entirety of the cold war (and to some extent still is)

What do you even mean by get away? Do you understand how fucking nothing of there is for global law enforcement? There's sanctions. That's fucking it unless the U.S. is in the mood for a good war. And nobody ever fucking gets sanctioned for covert operations.

During the Cold War, American policymakers adopted what later historians would refer to as "radical pragmatism" in response to their confrontation with the Soviet Union.

Because most things are better than everyone on earth being slaves forever.

Retard. It's stupid to suggest that everything would've happened exactly the same had Genghis Khan been stillborn, and it's stupid to think that if Gutenberg didn't exist, we'd still be stuck in the 15th century. It's a mixture of the two.

>reading comprehension
Genghis Khan clearly added some unique traits that impacted history in a major way. However, Gutenberg could've died as a child, and someone likely would've had the same idea within 50 years.
Oh wait, you posted a picture of something that someone once declared was le logical fallacy. Clearly you've le strawmanned my argument, so you're guilty of le ebin logical fallacy :^^^)

Post-modernism is the rejection of grand narratives and absolute truths in all of their forms, including the liberal ideal of human rights. However, because absolute truth is rejected, relativity is embraced and thus the table is set for grand narratives. Think of it as the philosophical equivalent to post-irony. Psuedo-intellectuals (ie modernists) reject it because it's the dark resurgence of fascistic anti-rationalism, the next step in philosophical evolution that supersedes liberal empiricism.

>>2779645
Before I begin I just want to state that I don't necessarily agree with everything in Postmodernism. It does get a bad rap though so I'll try to unpack it's ideas.
Firstly, we must ask ourselves what is Modernity? What does it mean to be modern?
Modernity can be considered and epoch of time, for e.g. “The Modern Era”, “Modern History” etc. (although what that epoch is no one readily agrees on because it is of course constantly changing). Where did these ideas come from? What gives them validity as truth? Can different kinds of modernities exist?

>>2779735
(Cont.) Modernity has strong ties with ideas of Positivism and the Western Tradition (i.e. faith in progress through science – belief in what can be proven. We can understand true knowledge through observation). But this is still an ideology at it's core. I may agree that it's a really good ideology but it's a set of ideas, a meta-narrative.
Postmodernism takes the position that no ideology is truth. All worldviews appeal to the subjectivities of the individual. The goal of which is to appear as the ONLY narrative.
Postmodernism, simply put, takes the position that there are no objective criteria to prove whether a theory is true therefore any theory claiming to have the truth about how to create a better society e.g. Both Western ideas of Modernity AND Marxism is a meta-narrative. They're all someone’s version of reality.
We use Postmodernism as a critical lens to study human geographies, ethnography, etc.
Every human's experience is subjective so when we study society we have to dispose of the meta-narratives.

Eh... maybe? Kinda? He was kind of a Pinochet type, but nowhere near Bormann or Goering. The one they went too far with was Jodl.

>>2779663
I think they went too far with Rosenberg.
>literally executed for writing a book and "saying mean things"

>>2779684
He was the ideologue, there was no way he was getting out. I still think they were too hard on Jodl.

Major wars I am not sure of, but smaller things I am aware of.

Look in 2014 for example with Obama's red line chemical event in Syria, the public did mass demonstrations against any action against Syria. Eventually we didn't follow through.

If a state permits a demonstration it effectively explains it does not feel threatened by it. A successful demonstration is one that grows into something greater.
