The desire to put as many checks & balances on potential abuses of power even by the people themselves. The founding fathers took the responsibility of self government more seriously than modern American who take universal suffrage for granted

I understand why, but where did they derive it from? What was their model?

>>2279814
I think it was an invention of their own to ensure equality between the states, but don't quote me on that. What I can tell you for sure is that they looked to the HRE as a model of what the US shouldn't be, and argued that America would become as useless as it was if they didn't have a strong executive branch.

>>2279760
no, Esperanto will

American already is the official language of the world

Johann Schiltberger, born 1380 near Munich, went on a crusade, fought at the battle of Nicopolis, became a slave of the Turks, later fought as a Turkish soldier at the battle of Ankara, was taken prisoner by Timur, rode with Timur into Persia and India as a soldier, was made a gift to a Khan from the Golden Horde, traveled Siberia with the GH and then miraculously made it back home to Bavaria after 30 years of slavery.
He wrote a book about his experiences, and the countries he traveled. Pretty fucking awesome.

You are a retard, or whatever.

thx

Any time.

The New Testament is pretty silly, if you think about it. It's padded a ton and has the same story told four times in a row, then Acts, then a bunch of loosely connected letters, then an acid trip about a red dragon and a seven-eyed lamb and God riding a horse across the land and slaying people with His sword-tongue.

It's like they didn't know how to end it, so they went for the hypest shit imaginable.

>has the same story told four times in a row
serious question for those who have read the bible, can i just read matthew then move on to the other books or do i really need to read the same thing 4 times?

>>2281109
Reading it 4 times really fucking helps, BECAUSE they don't coordinate very well. It depends on your goals for reading the bible.

It was overshadowed by the more flashy and trendy atomic bombings of hiroshima and Nagasaki

>>2279572
Because Japan lost, and because of the shock value of nukes. Dropping one bomb that obliterates a city leaves a stronger psychological impact than firebombing a city to ashes.

If firebombing is used to destroy a nations capability to war, as they did, what use does a nuke have?

Don't be a pseudo

>>2279513

Prove me wrong

Germany not only invaded a lot of places, they openly violated numerous treaties they signed in recent memory, showing that any attempt to deal with them through soft power was futile.

The Soviets more or less kept their word and didn't pursue brinksmanship games the way the Nazis did.

>>2278969
There were numerous parties who wanted to attack the Soviet Union in 1939, plans were laid up for a bombing run on Baku

But nobody wanted a Moscow-Berlin Axis

Also Germany declared war on the USA, not the other way around

Think you've been on /pol/ too long mate

should I be autistic here?
I think I will
>Also Germany declared war on the USA
true
>not the other way around
false

>>2278921
Absolutely. Only black masterminds are capable of not only constructing to such marbles of civilization, but sharing their knowledge with the white man - who in turn stabbed them in the back.

Your wojak is not realistic.

Because eventually the people will resist. A dictatorship is used prompted by war, class conflict, economic breakdown etc. It's incredibly draining in all areas from economics to mentality, and is much harder to maintain than most people realise.

Erdogan has been enjoying a continuously high level of popular support that is exceptional. Only Putin and Merkel seem to have enjoyed the same degree of popular support and Putin behaves pretty much the same way as Erdogan. As for Merkel she has a strong personal taste for collegial rule.

>>2278586
It is extremely difficult to overcome systems that are set in place and have long history. It is exceedingly difficult for any politician to take over because simply the people around with a desire for power won't let him. If democracy becomes a dictatorship most of the influentials in the government lose their position of power. Not to mention unless your military is ready to unleash its might on a civilian populace you don't need to start shooting to take down a government. Now I do believe alot militaries are willing to shoot civilians but many of the ones that haven't been expected to for a long time will have trouble. Also when you have democracy for a long enough period of time you have idealists at every level of the government and their is nothing to do with these people except elimination which can be exceedingly difficult.

Fascists like it.

It preaches conciliation but long term that will always buckle.

Basically fascism

We love fascism
