Why don't workers join unions anymore?

Incredibly effective and subversive anti-union propoganda, at least in America. Germany has some of the best unions and workers around.

Because the majority of the people on Earth live there? Also because two are closely linked offshoots of a common ancestor that originated in the same region.

Because we're the master continent. God and/or ancient aliens invented Greece and Egypt as a red herring.

I understand everything about Jefferson with an intimacy I've not seen matched by any human being.

Canadians, what do you think of this man?

Is there anyone else in Canadian history remotely as interesting?
21 posts and 4 images submitted.

I have a pretty big bias because I'm Manitoban, but I hold a rather deep respect for the man.
To me he represents by the way of his actions and thought a profound spirituality unique to the prairies.

Also, the North-West rebellion and Riel's life is probably the most interesting thing in our nation's history.

Why did America lose the Vietnam War, /his/?
53 posts and 11 images submitted.
>>
>>2707240
Couldn't go hard because of fear of WW3 with USSR and/or China. Going soft wasn't hard enough to win.
>>
Democrats voted to stop support to South Vietnam
We had a "bullet for bullet" policy which prevented the south from falling, but as soon as we stopped, the north overran it.

Why is monarchism frowned upon so much these days?

First Europeans abandoned their kings, and now they've abandoned God. Things haven't gone so well for them since.

>inb4 hurrrr there's lots of monarchies in Europe still

None with any kind of power. Even ones that still have theoretical power could never use it without immediately being dethroned and replaced with a full blown republic.

Because having a single person with political power is inadequate to administer a modern state.

Hence why after WW1 stress tested all of the major world powers, the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian empires all got destroyed, where as the constitutional governments in England, France, and the United States survived.
>>
It's a relic of feudal ignorance.
>>
I dont know dude, why don't you read about the circumstances surrounding the fall of monarchies to understand why massive groups of people could possibly think there might be a better way of delegating affairs of the state.

Probably art. Gets its point across, in a well done way. Sure it exposes how sexualized society has gotten, but I imagine that as a further comment within the piece.

To what degree did he improve life in China?

From what I understand, standard of living and access to technology rose dramatically, but a lot of people died. Could these benefits have been provided without all the death?

Not being a dumbfuck and playing randomly with your agriculture would be enough.

Generally, you could bring China to wealth just by keeping order. That's what all the imperial dynasties did.
>>
Most revolutions that result in a lightyear leap will usually require a high price, but China paid a price far too high.
