Very painful and very terrifying, but guns have done nothing but amplify that. Just look at WWI.

There is no reason to think about any other political system, because Han Fei already made the best system that is. Li Si also gets some creds I guess...

People act according to their own needs
The role of the state is to make laws that make the People needs that who contribute to the state and most importantly the Ruler
You do this by giving rewards for performing well, but harsh punishment when you fuck up
And to make people not do anything that goes against the ruler, you punish the collective i.e Family, village, superiors, co-workers and maybe even towns to make sure no one fucks up. The individual might not care, but the collective do, so their family and friends will report him, thus you give rewards to people who report, and harsh punishment to those who hold back information

This is how you create a strong society and wipe out all corruption.

It's mostly Germany's fault.

They were the only ones who actually wanted a war. They feared that Russia's industrialization would make the Franco-Russian alliance more powerful than them.

The Archduke was little more than a pretext for the war that the German high command wanted.

Austria started it. Germany made it what it was.

But he didn't? He published a bunch of books and died. The people who ruined it were Russian revolutionaries who took his political theory and tried to apply it to real life by force.

Racism is ingrained in human DNA from a time when 'the other' was a legitimate threat. Tolerance is nothing but a veneer. That being said, I dunno. Competition in the labor pool maybe? It's all fear based. Irrational fear? What threat did the black population actually present at the height of the conflict?

Yeah, see, this is exactly what I am wondering.

Ehh weariness against the other yeah but not to this autistic level. Back back back then it was like "those guys are weird" with it either going "lets not go near them" or "hey they got cool shit lets interact" with either result turning into beneficial or negative for one or both parties or war/uniting.

Racism is more a recent thing that make more of a concrete thing over time.

After about 1500 AD, nation-states start to beat the shit out of city-states with increasing regularity.

They're each independent for their own reasons. Today, all of them bar the Papacy exist as tax havens.

>>2101468
Because there's literally no reason to annex them, they offer no strategic value. They're better off independent so politicians can use them as tax havens.
