Why hasn't she historically rejected at least a few bills from passing through?
What the actual fuck?
I know she wants to maintain her position but letting shit bills go through will only serve to bring her downfall in the future.
Is all monarchy just ceremonial now?
>>2166610
>Why hasn't she historically rejected at least a few bills from passing through?
She has
>>2166610
Once she uses any of her Powers they will be taken away from her. There is unspoken agreement where the British Government will let the monarchy keep its power as long as it doesn't use it.
>>2166621
Bullshit. She's just a particularly passive monarch. Her predecessors were far more involved in politics.
Can this man's actions be attributed to capitalism just like Stalin's actions can be attributed to Communism?
>>2166563
More like colonialism. King Leopold never sent or to Africa with the mission statement of making it a "capitalist society" in the same way the Stalin and other communist demagogues did.
>>2166574
But didn't he do it so that capitalists could get the resources they needed?
>>2166563
But Leopold did nothing wrong.
The origins of the Basque people and language are unknown and highly disputed.
>The Basque language is a language isolate
So we don't know what possible language it could have been related too.
>Their DNA is vastly different from that of Spanish people
Is it possible that they had settled on lands that would now be in the Atlantic Ocean during the ice age and gradually moved to modern day Spain as the ice age ended?
They are celts
>>2166441
They are about 50% Neolithic farmer(Anatolia), 30% native European and 20% Indo-European(Pontic Caspian steppe).
I think we can exclude the last as the origin of Basque language but I'm not sure if we will ever know if Basque language is Anatolian or European.
>>2166465
Their language does not sound celtic at all.
Could this work?

>>2166379
Wow they really did try everything didn't they
>>2166379
the CIS countrys saw that historically Russia abused them too much, but not to mention US clandestine services pressured them not to reunify anyway
>>2166379
By all means yes, it could have worked, but it was because of this that the August Coup was launched to remove Gorbachev from power, as a reform of the Soviet Union would mean less power for the Communist Party, and the greed of those who wanted to keep their positions of power spoiled the vote to reform the USSR into a more confederate union.
Saw this pic on /int/.
The question is do frogs have a tradition of this sought of thing or is this just an isolated coincidence?
French philosophy is the worst offender among continental and postmodern love for obscurantism, antiscientism, and bullshitting. The more vague, obtuse, complicated, and unfalsifiable it is the better.
>>2166148
>criticising social norms
>must be anti-white and anti-male
>unironically using the term social justice warrior in 2017
There is a tradition of intellectualism but certainly not just left-wing. The French also gave birth to the New right and the GRECE movements at more or less the same time the post-structuralists were growing. The post-structuralists are better known now as the left gradually a near-monopoly of control of the media and academia but back in the 60-70s right-wing intellectuals still managed to be heard and they had a significant presence.

Is morality a necessity of reason or only a "muh feelings" social and psychological construct?
>>2166015
Second. Morality is like equality, it's really really cute but it's a meme.
Are you talking about moral intuition or the metaphysical basis (or absence thereof) of morality?
>>2166049
Prove it's a meme.
In your opinion what were the greatest factors that contributed to Rome's eventual downfall?
IMO I believe it began with the Edict of Caracalla which preceded the Crisis of the Third Century by several decades, which even though it pre-dated it by over a century, caused long lasting problems. Diocletian's system of having multiple emperors (Two Augustus' & Two Caesars) was a disaster waiting to happen and of course you've got civil war, plagues and religious conflicts within the empire.
Gibbon-tier "muh degeneracy" arguments not accepted.
>>2166007
>In your opinion what were the greatest factors that contributed to Rome's eventual downfall?
Endemic civil war, with the twin major cause of
A) Not really having a theory of political legitimacy beyond naked force.
B) Gradual decline in trade leading to economic self sufficiency in amny parts of the empire. IT was economically feasible to split apart, so it became politically feasible to rule over a chunk instead of the whole, promoting division.
Christianity
Break down of infrastructure.
Poor leadership from shit emperors.
Times changed, people didn't want to be ruled by Romans and eventually rome lost control of the barbs.
How would world war 2 have been different if the Germans had developed a long range strategic bomber early on?
>>2165758
Years later we would have people complaining about German cities being bombed in retaliation.
Ey! Its just like today!
>>2165763
Britain started the bombing of civilians.

Boo hoo
What are some lessons in trickery that went down in history?
That one time some Austrian guy promised not to go to war with the entire world, but then did.
Pretty much Hanable's entire campaign.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Fagan_incident
>First entry
>According to his own account, the 9 July 1982 incident was Michael Fagan's second attempted intrusion on the palace; the first happening about a month before. [4] Fagan says he shimmied up the drainpipe, startling a housemaid, who called security. When guards reached the scene, Fagan had disappeared, leading them to believe the housemaid was mistaken. Fagan claims he entered the palace through an unlocked window on the roof and spent the next half-hour eating cheddar cheese and crackers and wandering around. He tripped several alarms, but they were faulty. He claims to have viewed royal portraits and rested for a while on the throne. He also speaks of entering the postroom, where Diana, Princess of Wales had hidden presents for her first son, William. Fagan said he drank half a bottle of white wine before becoming tired and leaving.[3]
Second entry
>At the time of the second incident, 9 July 1982, Michael Fagan was 33 years old and an unemployed decorator whose wife had just left him. At around 7:00am on that morning Fagan scaled Buckingham Palace's 14-foot-high (4.3 m) perimeter wall – topped with revolving spikes and barbed wire[2] – and shimmied up a drainpipe before wandering into the Queen's bedroom at about 7:15am.[1]
>An alarm sensor had detected his prior movements inside the palace but police thought the alarm was faulty and silenced it.[3] Fagan wandered the palace corridors for several minutes before reaching the section where the royal apartments were located. In an anteroom Fagan broke a glass ashtray, cutting his hand. He was still carrying a fragment of the glass when he entered the Queen's bedroom.[1]

Why did the Qing modernize far worse than Japan did?
Both had a turbulent time (Meiji period, boxer rebellion etc) But Japan came out as a developed power. China ended up an unstable, undeveloped warzone.
>>2165513
Because Japs are actually almost as intelligent as Europeans while the Chinese are subhumans.
>>2165521
Fuck off with your pseudoscience.
Very different circumstances. The Meiji Restoration wasn't nearly as turbulent as what the Chinese had to deal with. The Japanese elite also stood to gain a lot through modernisation and Westernisation and yet the Qing elite felt as if they would gain more if they retained their autocratic grip on tenants on their lands.
Japan is also a very tiny surface to cover with a very homogeneous peoples with similar goals, interests, languages and history. China is enormous with many different ethnic groups who have drastically different wants and needs.
Finally, the Japanese government was not bloated and corrupt like the Qing bureaucracy and so a cohesive plan was made to modernise in tandem with business elites. The Qing system was archaic, incompetent and after being humiliated constantly by foreign powers it was really in no position to control China.
What's your favorite excavation site?
Mine is Göbekli Tepe, it shows Turkic superiority
>built in ~10000BC
>~7500 years older than Stonehenge & Egyptian pyramids
>Turkic
>Anatolia
>10k BC
>>>>>>>Turkic
>>2165467
are you one of those Armenian historical revisionists ??
why would they use so many turkic symbols?
>>2165463
That was built over 10,000 years before the Turkic people migrated into Anatolia, the people who built it have no relation to the Asiatic Turks and were probably some sort of proto-Hittite people.
>>2165498
Those are not Turkish symbols in Gobekli Tepe, they don't look anything like the Turkish symbols in your pic.
Most of the symbols carved at Gobekli Tepe are simple geographical shapes and representations of animals which can be found in almost any culture.
So according to historical revisionists:
>the holocaust never happened
>the moon landings never happened
>rockets cannot move in space because "theres nothing to push against"
>nuclear weapons are a hoax
>the earth is flat
>the earth is hollow
>jewish new world order conspiracy
>every terrorist attack is a false flag or faked by kikes
>modern medicine shouldn't be trusted because of kikes - the ancients apparently knew better
>an authoritarian fascist society is more free than a liberal one
Is there anything about history that /pol/ tier revisionists actually agrees on that happened?
No, litterally nothing has ever happened ever, every single major event is faked.
>>2165412
You forgot about Humans living with dinosaurs and the dinosaurs vain attempt in destroying Noah's ark when the world flooded.

Remove the Jew part and they become somewhat believable. The NWO and modern medicine that is.
