Could Britain have won the battle of Britain without the aid of all the foreign fighters leading the way?
11 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>2309619
Yes. Battle of Britain as not even close. Britain was always producing more planes, producing more pilots, losing less planes, and losing less pilots.
>>
>>2309619
Yes, the main reason being the inability of the Luftwaffe to maintain fighter cover for their bombers for an extended period of time and the shift from bombing airfields and radar stations to cities. Not belittling the contribution of squadrons like 303 but there were bigger factors in play.

>>2309114

This applies to pretty much everything.

Politically, for example, if you're outside the Overton windows (leftwards, rightwards, doesn't matter), you'll find it incredibly hard to argue with people about politics even though the same people are able to discuss other issues while being cognizant of their biases and presupposition.

Behaviors you're going to encounter

- Show me that your position is accurate! (by this set of criteria that you don't share)

- The set of criteria I'm arguing for are just obivously the most rational! (probably weren't even shared by a majority of people a few decades earlier)

- Your position is just based on *ideological accusation/psychological accusation* (doesn't realize his position is vulnerable to analogous accusations)

- I came to my conclusion through REASON and EVIDENCE (doesn't realize the mind-boggling coincidence of coming purely through reason and evidence to the conclusion that his society finds acceptable)

- Your position has problems, therefore it's worse than mine (nevermind that his has problems too, unless yours is perfect, it's never going to be enough)

Because the Panzers just stayed still for 4 days after brushing their way through France. Unless there was some sort of natural barrier that made they stop it seems rather deliberate

Why does America have such a tsundere history and relationship with their indigenous peoples?

On the one hand, Americans fought, killed and relocated the native populations, often without mercy. Entire tribes were genocided.
The natives were treated like subhumans, like their cultures were garbage.

But on the other hand, Americans seem to love the natives. They name states, cities, towns, helicopters, ships, university sporting teams and even themselves after the natives.
They sexualize them, and tell tales of Noble Savages worthy of being won over as friends. Many boast of having distant blood connections to this or that tribe.

Americans of /his/, do you like natives?

Asking as a confused non-American trying to understand.

>Americans seem to love the natives.
This is mostly Protestant guilt complex.

As for my personal opinion (as an American) , I view the red Indians as just another group of political players. 90% of them were inevitable going to die due to smallpox and I don't weep because our ancestors didn't come offering them gold, Frankincense and myrrh.

I'd bang that native if that's what you're asking me. But she looks more white than red folk

Native Americans have historically been considered an obstacle and a nuisance towards development and modernism. Displacing natives was often seen as the only option as white settlers wished to create a similar lifestyle in the Western half of the country as they did in the Eastern, developed half. The fact that many tribes violently resisted this silent invadikn gave the US military every justification needed to uproot their land and wipe out tribes who fought back.

The US has recognized in recent years that it's treated many tribes like dogshit and that we owe it to ourselves to recognize that these people did exist and that we did do some very shitty things to them, much like other colonial nations such as Australia, New Zealand etc. The things you mentioned are just a few small ways that solidarity is attempted.

Is spiritual fulfillment necessary for humans? Almost all societies throughout history have had a unique spiritual outlook on life, whether it be some religious mythology or not.

Today people seem to think that a purely scientific and materialistic view of life is sufficient for people, but this idea seems to be flawed since no matter how many questions science answers about biology, astronomy, physics or chemistry, there are two things it can never give a person. Meaning and Purpose. Of course the materialists usually say that as for those things they need to be identified by each individual, but isn't the journey of finding meaning and purpose in ones life a spiritual journey by definition? Indeed the idea that there must be something beyond the material is something that is necessary for all humans to continue existing lest they fall into Nihilism, which is an existential dead end.

What do you guys think?

Absolutely. Spirituality is an essential part of the human experience.
>>
Spirituality is inalienable from consciousness. When we project ourselves into the past, future, some happenstance far away or close by or merely make-believe, we put ourselves in the abstract and learn something about how we must behave to sate our desires.
>>
Can spiritual also mean transcendent, or simply serving something bigger than oneself such as one's nation?

Does Japan view Buddhism as a foreign religion?

Did right wing Japanese factions ever make opposition to Buddhism a direct goal, or was it just a byproduct? I know Yukio Mishima was critical of it, but he was also a little off the deep end.

Buddhism is seen as the framework of the cosmos

The Shinto deities occupy the role of the devas within Japanese Buddhism: powerful beings worthy of devotion, but still victims of samsara

The Buddh of Japan is not prince Siddhartha Guatama

>>2307344
Buddhism demands very little of political system. The praxis of Buddhism can also easily exist without its original foreign deities, and can also assimilate domestic gods. It's inherently syncretic except with it comes in contact with dualist religions like the Abrahamisms.

Were there ever any documented cases of slave owners being rich and going flat broke and resorting to cannabalism by eating their own slaves ?
28 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
Slaves were expensive though.

Adjusted for inflation, you're talking 10,000 a head for even the entry level basic bitch field negroes.

You could easily get into the 60/70k range for slaves from the parts of Africa that knew how to farm, so you could buy that expert knowledge of rice paddies or sweet potatoes and stuff.

You'd be better off selling them.
>>
dude wat
>>
No? Why would there be?

Slaves were worth a lot of money. You could sell them even at low prices to buy infinitely more food than eating them.

Wikipedia links for those interested

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_ethnicity
>"Why should I let these freaks cast whole ballots when they are only half Americans?"
>"Any man who carries a hyphen about with him carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic whenever he gets ready."[4][5][6]
>"There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all … The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic … There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else"
>>
interestingly, if we accept the American Ethnicity as true, that makes them a subset of the Anglic group, meaning it goes something like
Indo-European -> Germanic -> West Germanic -> Anglo-Friscian -> Anglic -> American
