Yes it's a thing, fuck you

Why is the Whitlam Dismissal so controversial? He couldn't pass a budget, and refused to call an election.

Yes, I can see why a Labor supporter would be upset. But if he was ahead in the polls he clearly would have called an election. He was behind, and he tried to game the system to stay in power and buy some time, and it backfired.

If only there was some sort of mechanism directly built into the constitution for when a bill is repeatably blocked by the Senate, that has been used multiple times by many governments, most recently less than 12 months ago

More exposure to events and increased stigma to their reception surprisingly doesn't imply the world is any worse now than it was before, who would have thought.

Hello /his/,

I have always had an interest in history and thought I had a decent knowledge about it until I came here. The amount of detail you guys dive into only makes me want to understand more about your implications in an argument. I want to know what books I should start reading to get a true understanding of history. I'm am going to start a book version of a bucket list. What do you guys recommend?

>pic related I love color and colorized photos of the civil war/Victorian era to WWI

Read American Slavery, American Freedom by Edmund Morgan. He is what I believe to be the best historian to ever live. And I think that is his best book
>>
A good way to tackle history (and the way they teach it to you in higher education) is by learning the material by normal academic means (lectures, reading history books, documentaries, etc) and then reading the documents of that era with both modern and period contexts.

For example, let's say you learn about the American Civil War. You would read a history book or watch a documentary, then read some of lincoln's letters, read some slavers defend the practice, read some abolitionists' arguments against it. What are the average union soldiers thoughts on the war? Confederate soldier? A slave himself?

I've alwayd felt that reading the documents themselves in context really brings history to life in a way that modern material on the subjects can't.

It seems if you needed welfare the idea was you had to go get it yourself, basically you'd be asked to go door to door to get it but people were expected with heavy emphasis on expected to give something.

The goal was everyone pitches in even if it was a little rather than you have to give a lot.

Death

Why did people throw such a hissy fit over Jack the Ripper killing prostitutes? I mean, its not like he was killing doctors or policemen or something, he was killing prostitutes, people whom most of society would rather pretend not exist anyway. Like prostitutes have a really high mortality rate anyway, most day from drugs, alcohol, physical abuse, it happens a lot. Why did Jack the Ripper get so much attention?

Primo because it's still a serial murderer, something the media love to feed on, no matter the circumstances.
Duo, because Victorians were fucked up fetishists who were fascinated by the murder of prostitutes. There has been much written about this so do your own research.

> People would rather pretend prostitutes didnt exist

What world are you living in? Prostitutes dont hold you down and rape you, then steal your wallet. If people didn't want prostitutes to exist they would simply ignore them and market forces would pressure them into different work. People like prostitutes as much as they like sluts and porn, which is a lot. But its publicly embaressing/reprehensible/immoral to admit it.

Why did he get attention?
1. Murder is worse than the voluntary/socially forced commerce of sex
2. People were worried their favorite hoe was gonna get cut
3. He wasn't caught. This provokes interest because that means it could be someone you know and that not all crime gets punished.
4. People wanted to know what kind of beta neckbeard this fag was. He was probably denied by every woman so when even prostitutes wouldnt accept his money he flipped shit.
