the american civil war started in 1861 idiot

this hypothetical is laughable.

just how do you propose that Britain, a constitutional monarchy with elected representatives, sell a cross Atlantic invasion of America to their populace? Besides that, there's about a 0% chance of Britain being able to invade & occupy America (which had a greater population than the UK at the time).

The war of 1812 is the best example of how a conflict between Britain & America would go. Limited invasions on both sides and naval duels on the high seas until a modus vivendi is reached so that both sides can get back to the business of economic prosperity.

The UK had already been working to end the slave trade by that time so I doubt the south would side with them. I dont see how the UK could hope to retake America.

>Do you think it is feasible in any form?
It's already practiced at the individual level today. Something like 90%+ of babies shown to have Downs Syndrome are aborted before birth by the freewill of the parents. There are similar rates for other severe development disorders that can be found out in utero.That's eugenics in action.

>eugenics produced pugs
>wanting to apply the same practice to humans

>>2248080
Do you think it should be used on a national/global level? If so, in what form?

>>2248084
To be fair, pugs are adorable.

>1 short lived dynasty means Egyptians were Blacks
By that logic Egyptians were White because of the ptolemaic dynasty

Nobody cares about the late dynasties.

>>2247485
>Egyptians were Blacks
the point is that blacks were pharoahs ergo they literally wuz kangz

this is indisputable

I'd say for the worse. It makes people think that their beliefs are preordained by some god named "History" and thus complacent in their beliefs that "History is on their side" making them incapable of doing anything when everyone else disagrees and acts differently.

Hegel considered history to have ended in 1806 with the defeat of monarchies by Napoleon, according to Hegel we are in a post historic era where peoples rights and beliefs are the engine of human progress

Most likely economic troubles and possibly even collapse, given how much of the economy was turned over into arms production.

There is no such thing as poland. That is Prussia aka rightful German clay

No thats completely wrong.
I would know, I'm an upper class leftie who is not top of the pack.

what does capitalism have to do with it? socialism, stalinism, mutualism, feudalism, Stacy will always consider you subhuman and Chad will always know you're a weak willed autistic weirdo good for a cheap laugh

Relax, mate. Maybe in another couple of years you'll be mature enough to recognize your own flaws without blaming them on nebulous external forces. You might even go to college--bit of advice on that: start applying for scholarships now, because once you graduate, you're going to have to hit the ground running.

Althought he did some good things, I can't really appreciate him. The way he managed France's colonies was completly retarded and he's responsible for all the territorial losses France had after his reign. One could say he was even one if the reasons the revolution happened.

The greatest king Europe ever had was Khaan Ögedei

Napoleon- Little Leo, or as he is commonly known leo dicaprio

kek, honestly oliver cromwell was a /pol/ tier protestant fundamentalist/extremist

Very true

Once upon a time it was a source of shame to die old and feeble

He was weak and old but he was still sharp at 92

Rip in pieces grandpa ; ;

Individualistic culture:

+ personal responsibility
+ greater creation of wealth
- your entire race gets bred out of existence

If you're defining "Zerg rush" as charging forward, trusting into numerical superiority at the expense of any sensible tactics, attaining victory despite high cost in your own forces, then yes, the Soviets did that.

Principally in the summer of 1941. It worked out very badly, which is why they stopped doing it, and by the time they were winning the war, were using very modern tactics.

Well that answered my question, thanks anon.
