Are they Adrians?

What the hell are you talking about OP? Asides from Poland, Croatia and a few others, like all slavic countries are Orthodox majority. Or like at least a strong minority

south slavs are all orthodox. As for west slavs, russia supposedly converted as a kievan ruler liked the ceremonies of orthodoxy, thus choosing it over catholicism or islam.

>>2168349
It's a matter of who was there first.

the Eastern Roman Empire had the monopoly of power in the Balkans so naturally those areas are more orthodox, and the Russians married into the Imperial Court and accepted Orthodoxy through there.

that said, it's worth noting that Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia and the rest of Eastern Europe beyond Poland are very much Orthodox because of the Byzantine's pervasive influence in the region.

Pretty crappy like all soldiers.

If you are in emperor mandated starvation post, you starve until Americans come and blow you up

If you are in China, you get bullied by your superiors and take part in massive combat with the NRA. If you survive, you probably are tense as fuck and take it out on civilians. You will probably die to a guerrilla shooting you, murdered by some peasant with a knife or blown up by an IED. Your supply situation is much better than being on an emperor mandated starvation post and better than the NRA but still unstable because of guerrillas attacking your supply.

If you are in the IJN, you will probably burn to your death when your ship gets hit or you will drown or machinegunned by burgers for your warcrimes in the water.

YE JACOBITES BY NAME, LEND AN EAR LEND AN EAR

>Anarchy
Reduction in the standard of living, open to abuse, tendency towards acting like a state whilst rejecting such a title. Unlikely to be considered by the majority of people as they are unwilling to give up a level of living they have worked towards. Essentially requires individuals to organise and engage in communal tasks, allocating resources etc. which is significantly more difficult than having a state and more difficult to deal with considering current population levels, could result in chaos, famine, starvation and a multitude of other problems.

>Meritocracy
How is this measured? Too subjective.

>Theocracy
Problems exist for obvious reasons, don't need to measured out.


Wtf, all of these systems are shit!

I like this copypasta but what about some socialist forms of government.

Some forms of socialism to consider:

>Communism
>Communalism
>Fourierism

>>2167900
>Direct Democracy
The Swiss use direct democracy and apparently they are quite happy with it, minorities included.

>Irving Fisher however defines interest by primarily psychological properties, and comparatively much more than Keynes, by saying interest is defined through the invisible hand's magic and constant fluctuation because of deviant individual's willingness to lend or time preference for income and the relative slopes of these aggregate psychological properties determines interest.

Why does every hack who uses the 'Invisible Hand' argument only ever use it incorrectly? Have any of them actually read Adam Smith?

>>2167953
I use it in the context of a free market state of interest correction, which Keynes would agree with as regards the interest rate, due to the principle of market clearing.

Anyway, it just means the savings rate and the investment rate needs to be equal to the slopes of the willingness of the borrowers to borrow and the lenders to lend and on the other hand the aggregate slopes of the time preferences of borrowers AND lenders for income this year and subsequent years.

>Just before his death in 1946, Keynes told Henry Clay, a professor of social economics and advisor to the Bank of England[67] of his hopes that Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' can help Britain out of the economic hole it is in: "I find myself more and more relying for a solution of our problems on the invisible hand which I tried to eject from economic thinking twenty years ago."[68]

It was very successful. See all that land east of the Urals? Those are its colonies.

>>2167610
Successful as a land-based empire, stretching from Warsaw to the Pacific at its peak

Colonially, Russians settled throughout Eastern Europe, the Baltics, the Caucasus, the steppe, and Siberia

Their overseas "colonies" in the Americas were dedicated to trading/hunting and missionary activity. Wasn't much settlement going on. But they got as far as Northern California

>>2167610
Most of Russia today is made of its colonies.

Scripted or documentaries?

The BBC documentary series on it was pretty good.

>>2167581
Yeah I've seen that documentary, I was talking more about scripted movies

No man's land is a pretty good comedy about it.

CIA didn´t exist in WW2

you mean the OSS and operation paperclip

Newsflash, Soviets did the same though for obvious reasons British and Americans got the most out of it. Also, yeah, Brits did it too. Nobody cared (and very few knew), they weren't protecting people like Mengele or Nazi idealogues from prosecution, these people were engineers who developed weapons, yes, but so did engineers in every other country.

Did Germans really rape as much as everyone says they did? Caesar in his Commentaries said that Germans valued virginity in their males as well as their females, and if you lost it before you were twenty you were seen as a disgrace.

Hmmmm, *opens link*

let us check this out

Well it's not really a series of moral commandments he was teaching people (such as things they should be doing). He was mostly telling the sick and poor that god would reimburse them for their shitty lives, either when the kingdom of god arrives in this world, or failing that, in the afterlife.

The only two moral commands in the beatitudes are to "be a peacemaker" and "show mercy". Add one or two more if you wish to count "desiring righteousness" and "being persecuted for righteousness".

He wasn't telling people to be poor and sick.

The part about the Natufians is a huge ass-pull, but the general thesis is sound.

You seem to be right on the money - Prussian indeed!

He appears to be sporting both the Duppel Storm cross and the Alsen cross - decorations of the Second Schleswig War against the Danish (1864).

What he also appears to have is the War Commemorative Medal of 1870/71, but I'm struggling to identify the rest, this really is not my period of expertise.

Judging by the epaulettes he was an officer, though I am unable to tell what kind, as the picture is a bit blurry, and served both in the Second Schleswig war and the Franco-Prussian war.

>>2167227
Prussia was one of many states that eventually united to become "Germany" (Prussia itself was the most powerful, and led the unification)

As >>2167352 has pointed out, he actually fought in the wars that led to German unification
