The biggest crime in WW2 was that every German wasn't exterminated.
>2017
>G*rmans still exist
But they have, the entire Germanic race is a deeply defeated peoples who will cease to exist in our lifetime.
>>2338165
I'm pretty sure they have. The Germans were proud, militaristic and nationalist people, the modern "Germans" are a bunch of self-hating cuckolds. Not the same people.
I get that different people have different interests, but still.
Because for most, they have no point of reference and thus don't care. It's boring because its dry. Dates and names on a page in a long line of "and then" doesn't really interest people.
But if you frame it in the form of a dramatic narrative, then they will be interested as they can relate to the figures as characters.
It's a shame but it's the truth.

Was Hitler a little too eager to start a war?
If he had waited a few more years could the nazis crush every obstacle with far more advanced technology?
>>2338022
>too eager to start a war.
Broke Non-agression pact with Russia.
Far more advanced technology.
Again.
Broke non-aggression pact with Russia.
Also Manhattan project.

It's better to have CV47s, Liberty Ships, and two and a half ton trucks, and a shitload of them, than to have V2s and Me-262s and be unable to deploy them on a strategic scale.
>>2338022
Nah
Had Hitler been less idealist, and more pragmatic he could have had won the war incredibly fast.

They are one of several Imperial identities that have survived and spread across several cultures, alongside the likes of Roman and Chinese.

I got one of these the other day, I'm only about 100 pages into it and I'm already questioning how this got any believers at all.
>This is the most correct story ever t. Joseph Smith
>Old man Lehi lives with his sons in the wilderness for years until they decide to rob and murder a guy with an enormous database on jews. Nobody in the old testament bats an eye
>Lehi's sons are pissed and disbelieving despite hearing the word of god, getting shocked, their brother building a ship without any knowledge capable of going to fucking America and feelings gods wrath at sea.
>First things they meet in America are cows, something colonists brought along.
>Despite being prosperous they start a civil war over resources and leadership. Even desiring gold when they got nobody to trade with. The prophecies they brought along even says that Israel is enslaved at that point by Babylon.
>Unbelievers turned into dark skinned savages with stone hearts. Ancestors of native Americans.
>Claiming America is the chosen land and that it will conquer all its enemies through gods will and prosper for eternity
>God tells Nephi his people are the chosen ones, but that they'll get genocided in America anyways.
Anybody else read through this cooky shit? Please tell me it gets better.
“And I said unto him: I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things.”
—1 Nephi 11:17
“But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.”
—1 Nephi 1:20
“For, behold, I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.”
—1 Nephi 20:10
>>2337804
It still seems far too convoluted and shoehorned. Why not just send them to suffer in Babylon with the rest of the jews? God have let both testaments survive to this day, why would the third one need to be hidden and take a brutal millenium to create on an uncharted part of the world?

“Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; for the feet of those who are in the east shall be established; and break forth into singing, O mountains; for they shall be smitten no more; for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.”
—1 Nephi 21:13
“And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.”
—1 Nephi 3:7
“But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is. Amen.”
—1 Nephi 9:6
OK let's settle it, agnosticism is the most rational and wise approach to the existence of God. Prove me wrong.

The Old Trickster himself, Richard Milhouse Nixon. I actually met him during the post-Watergate years, after he was cased out of Washington. He knew the good he had done, and knew that it would never be anything he'd be given proper credit for. I do not know if he realized how HE had fucked his presidency up.
I really felt sorry for him.

Keynes theory of elasticities for different things is interesting. Is it fair to say the effective demand in terms of wage units is always the indicator for which all elasticites, for example, price, output, and employment, are based in?
Also why does no one talk about any economist other than Von Mises or Marx?
>>2337628
Well yes.
And people that call marx an economist are talking out their ass.
Marx merely critiqued capitalism, not what should be done about it.
He has the same weight as a film critic and not a film director.
>>2337666
Right and what do you think about his economics, truth be told I'm waiting to finish Hegel before I start with Marx, so how is his economics system, is it well thought out?
I'm kind of on an early 20th century/late 19th century economics binge so this is very relevant. I'll be reading Henry George, Carl Menger, and Fisher's treatise on differential marginal pricing.
In the words of Finn from Adventure Time, mathematical.
>>2337666
>Marx merely critiqued capitalism, not what should be done about it.
What should be done about it is implicit in his teleological world view.
Has there ever been a soldier that was a member of two armies at once?
Any in WW1?

Why do liberals advocate for socialism in most marketplaces besides the sexual market place?
Regulated sexuality? The landscape is continually changing. Society is much better than it used to be. God makes everything better.
Also God help you if you're a male in a specific area of the United States.

I'm a STEMfag but I just took two philosophy courses and I have to say, philosophy is very interesting. It's like an English class except it's not bullshit. Fuck English teachers, they are the worst kind of people.
