In most cases it's inertia; in countries where the monarchy is purely ceremonial it doesn't feel like a real issue. In the remaining countries with powerful monarchies (mostly the Gulf Arab states), they're propped up by America because they don't trust either the Arab nationalist republics or the Islamic republics.
In Britain's case specifically, it's a country which survives entirely off of deluding itself of its own relevance. Why do you think Leave won?

Seriously why the fuck people start using this Common Era crap? They're both based on the Gregorian calendar and it "fixes" a problem that doesn't even exist. Political correctness once again ruining everything. Lindybeige has perfect video explaining why all this is utter bullshit.

None of my colleagues use it privately or in casual conversation but some publishers are quite uppity about it so we use it professionally just to be safe
Very few essays that I've marked have used it. I once did mark one where the student had used it and I cheekily gave it a strikethrough and wrote "Ha!" next to it

My real question is: at what point will we determine a new era has begun and what will we name it? Will we start again at 1?
Or will we just keep going to like 12,000A.D.

Pic related is a small piece of art from a larger manuscript on Swiss history. It is by Christoph Silberysen.
Although not really known for his art, the richly illustrated manuscript provides modern historians with surprisingly detailed looks in medieval Switzerland.

if you become what you hate the most, and it's dangerous to fight monsters lest you become one, does that mean that every cause you fight against will eventually turn you into that very thing?
or is this a meme?
are commies bound to turn info facists and fascists bound to turn into communists?

Is a History degree so bad?
8 Posts / 1 Images
View this topic

Not as long as you're realistic about what kind of job you want and how to get it.
Most jobs just list "college degree" as a requirement, and don't care what it's in. A history degree will qualify you for as many jobs as almost any other major, except the ones with specific job fields tied to them (like engineering or nursing). A history degree is only useless if you get it with the intention of applying to jobs you're not qualified for, or if you don't know how to sell yourself and get a job in the first place.

>It has often been assumed that the rise of Nazism was inextricably intertwined with unemployment. As unemployment rose dramatically after 1928, peaked in the spring of 1932 and then declined, so did the National Socialist vote. However, Nazi party members were usually in employment; and unemployment was concentrated in those places where the Nazi vote was relatively low, such as Germany's large cities. There was a negative correlation between unemployment and NSDAP electoral support, for example in the towns of Bochum and Herne (another mining centre), and the Nazis polled worst in the pit colonies with very high levels of unemployment, where the Communists benefited from the votes of the jobless. Only 13 per cent of the unemployed supported the NSDAP, and those without jobs were over twice as likely to support the KPD.

Why were Russians so eager to try out Marxism before any of Western Europe?

The difference between the Russian character and the Western is that we Russians have learned to live our days in the full knowledge that whatever transpires in the interim, the sun will eventually expand and humanity will be incinerated. It's a way of life precisely opposite to the American Dream. Call is Russian fatalism if you like. But it gives us a sense of perspective, a sense of humor, and perhaps a certain dignity.

Let's compare theories:
Labour Theory of (Objective) Value:
>Value consists of the amount of necessary labour time one puts into making a commodity. The exchange value of the commodity will be a function of relative costs of production between different commodities i.e the aggregate labour time of all other commodities
Labour Theory of Subjective Value (orthodox economics)
>HURR DURR these items just appear out of thin air so I guess their value is based on the average personal evaluations of all the world's plebs. No point in knowing the cost of production i.e. labour-time etc. let's all just have a guess because we think it has some utility for us
Really can't believe people take the second view in 2017.

Yes, the second makes alot more sense.
>>
>>2395289
Labor time does not translate into value. You can spend all day moving rocks from one side of a field to another, with loads of both time and labor invested into it and still not create one iota of value.
>>
>>2395289
Subjective theory of value makes more sense even when you try to mock it.
Most buyers don't know or care how much toil went into making something, they just have a price they're willing to pay to get something.
