Why did America have such a problem with organised crime syndicates and armed gangsters in its largest cities? Couldn't they just send the army in to the streets and brutally crush all the gangsters?
Gangsters didn't hang around in a clubhouse labeled "gang hideout." They did their best to pay off or threaten people into silence so they could operate in relative secrecy. Despite being criminals, they still had rights. Any law enforcer who wanted to lock them up needed proof that they were doing something illegal. This is difficult for the above mentioned reasons.

fucking bill of rights
americans are basically cucks who are controlled by Jewish lawyers who believe the civil rights of the worst criminals must be maintained at all costs
look how opposed (((they))) are to a guy like dueterte taking out the garbage
favorite roman emperor.
My favorite was Augustus, I found it amazing that someone can build an empire that lasted about 600 years. (correct me if i'm wrong.)
Any other opinions?
Septimius Severus, Winner of the Year of the Five Emperors

Augustus built nothing. The Roman empire was weak and pathetic compared to the republic, and the republic was built with foresight and intelligence of the Senate. Rome would never have fallen if the damned Cesareans hadn't ruined everything.
Why did fascism fail?
>>2212847
Because you touch yourself at night
>>2212847
Because of the world war number 2 and the fact that it only ever produced dictators, making it a system where in which it is impossible to easily transition from leader to leader, perhaps if an elective system was set up in a fascist system maybe it would have survived.

Brodie wasn't nearly as bad as you think. It was great at protecting the British soldiers from bullets and other projectiles while the troops were in the trenches.
can't you just read all the other reruns of this thread in the archive?

Why did the USSR opt to absorb Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania instead of turning them into satellite states?
The better question is why Soviets chickened up and didn't absord everything is soviet union.

Why do these brave atheists who proudly criticise Christianity and Islam never criticise the religiously-motivated settlement of the West Bank by Jewish religious zealots?
Why don't you ask them, OP?
>>2221775
Maher is pure, bought and paid for shill. He's ethnically Jewish, not religiously. This is why.
Harris makes mention of Jews repeatedly, and thinks that Israel should not exist.
Dawkins, I got no idea about. Is he even a Jew?
I know that Hitchens was half-Jewish, and he was by far the most vitriolic about Israel needing to be destroyed so that nobody could claim it.
I think Sam Harris does.
Also:
>religiously-motivated
Wrong.
Let's talk about colonialism.
>Colonialism is the establishment of a colony in one territory by a political power from another territory, and the subsequent maintenance, expansion, and exploitation of that colony.
Were the Portuguese the best explorers out there? Even better than the English? You could argue that the Portuguese had the advantage in ship building and ship knowledge due too one Prince Henry and his famous school. But still They discovered the coast of Africa, came to India, Brasil, they even discovered Greenland and Newfoundland.After a while, after they had a few colonies, they stopped. Was that due to the fact that they came under Spain? That didn't stop Holland. But sure they had money for an army and for exploration, but so did Portugal or am I wrong? One would assume that even though they were under Philip II and his appointed advisers they would still have the opportunity to start new colonies.
Also I found it funny that Holland after the 2nd war with England, had to swap New Amsterdam for the space that is today Suriname. And then the Dutch couldn't expand there because of Spain and Portugal. Talk about being cucked. Take that you Calvinistic pigs

Everyone's better than the English, all they did was steal a bunch of maps and sail around the world.

>>2221438
> Arab Muslims expelled all Christians from Arabian peninsula
If so why there are still Christians here? Please be a bait.
>>2221442
What? There's no Christians in Arabian peninsula today except for Filipino workers. Muhammad and Omar commanded all Arabian Christians in the peninsula to convert or leave.
What human emotion is most powerful and historically important? Is it love? Is it hate? Is it something else?
>>2221426
Hatred. Definitely hatred. Hatred is the essence of history, I daresay.
>>2221452
I would wager anger over hatred. The two often coincide, but not necessarily, I think.
Personaly, I found boredom to be responsible for a good amount of bullshit in history.
