I guess people like plenty of stuff that's ultimately pretty bad for us

Plus there's a difference between thinking something is titillating and actually wanting to do it

That's not just incest, that's generations and generations of inbreeding, with some shitty starting genes to begin with. If you just impregnate your sister or mother and aren't inbred yourself, the kid will most likely be fine, with only slightly higher risk of issues than normal.

Also people with an incest fetish usually just like it as an abstract idea, they're not attracted to their actual relatives.

.75 world wars per century on average.

If he built it perfectly, why did it sink when it hit an iceberg?

ICE CAN'T BREAK STEAL HULLS

>>2536731

Not especially so. Several factors contributed to making the sinking a disaster.

Had the Titanic gone into the iceberg head on then she probably wouldn't have sunk. The flaw on that night was trying to take evasive manoeuvres, which meant the iceberg tore into the side of the ship, penetrating multiple sections at once. The ships bulkheads were not sealed all the way to the top, as the architects of the ship didn't envisage so many compartments flooding at once.

The reason it became such a costly tragedy in terms of lives was lack of lifeboats, confusion as to how best to evacuate the ship, confusion leading to multiple lifeboats being half empty, and multiple distress calls to nearby ships being mistaken or ignored.

The Titanic was probably much safer than many of the ships going across the North Atlantic on any given day. A combination of factors forced a disaster that night.

Does anyone else get kind of a strange ominous feeling when reading about ancient Mesopotamian civilizations pre 700 BC? Ancient Egypt doesn't freak me out, but something about Sumeria, the Hittites and others really unnerves me.

Did Sumeria develop the world's first military?

Or maybe they're cuckolds who like to be ruled by other people. Celts are a culture of cucks.

It would be. The next step in the handling of religion is to abolish it as a legal cathegory. If yook at it from a truly secular perspective, it's just a bunch of separable thoughts and customs. Distinguishing it from everything else gives it a sort of legitimacy and does not do anything but allow for several breaches on a country's conventional law system because of muh freedom of religion. This way it could work as any other sector of society/economy. Religious institutions would survive as long as the people who want them have the funds to keep it running, just like every service. Or they could be built as state-owned infrastructural facilities if there's a population that absolutely demands it.

only republicans care about laicity and they get butthurt as soon as their little republics lose control over the population or are recalled that their republicanism is a religion too.

Well unlike state socialism it doesn't conflate an economic system with a system of government like some image macros do.

If you want a real answer its an abstraction based around some tried and true principles of economics. There are less pure forms of it but there is no pure form

>I'd put him in the top 20
Why? He was a decent cavalry commander, and that's about it.

>Top 5 for American generals, probably right behind Patton and Stonewall

Patton was a terrible commander. Jackson was a legitimately good general, but even he has his work cut out for him to be a top 5 when you have guys like Devers and King and Scott and Lee in the running.

It's hilariously cringey you apparently think there are at least 5 Americans along the top 20 generals of all time.

And no way is he in the top 5 Americans, either.

>>2546221
Forrest was an incredibly unremarkable officer in the grand scheme of military history. I'm not even sure he'd make my top 5 list for the American Civil War. He was competent at harassment and raiding supply lines, but that's about it.

You probably rank Rommel pretty high, I'd wager.

While I agree with this statement, I think you need to work on your reading comprehension.
