apart from the CIA, KGB and MI6, what were some other powerful and influential intelligence services in the 20th century?
>>2090306
ISI
>>2090306
Mossad after 1970 and NSA after 2000
Mossad is the only one that works as advertised.

If you disagre you are just a faggot and you know it.
why even being so genius he's so forgotten?
I don't really know who this faggot is, but some leftypol CTR (jewish) reddit cuck shill called me a "spook" when I said that I was literally my race and nation, so his """""philosophy""""" is clearly a meme and he's probably some SJW communist.
>>2090284
If he was leftypol or pol at all he's obviously a poseur using Stirner's ideas when it suits him while being incredibly spooked himself.
>>2090284
You're completely wrong, but i feel sorry for you.
>dude what if we just derive economics from abstract principles instead of actual scientific evidence?
Was it autism?
>>2090115
b...b...but you just don't understand economics!
Actually it is the theories of the economists which base their ideas on vacuums that are the least practical. For instance, Irving Fisher, who essentially believed that the collective market determined the rates of return over cost and thereby the interest rate itself, understood that his theories were not very exact, in other words reality always deviated from the tendency of the interest rate to equal the slopes of the willingness of the market to borrow or lend and the overall choices of income streams for maximum present value. Like Mill, he believe in a give and a take. The market is always fluctuating and it is these fluctuations and variations which give it life in the first place.
Von Mises was more realistic by simply stating that the interest rates determined how much fiduciary media was being circulated in the country and ending there. His problem with interest is practical, and as such is over in a few sentences whereas for other economists the problem can take entire books.

Besides Oswald Mosley, who are some other cringey charlatans throughout history?
>>2089981
The T-shirts didn't help
>>2089988
This seems about right.
>>2089981
How does one begin learning about philosophy, history, and the extensive world around them? Information is seemingly endless.
>>2089976
Crack a book and start reading. 99% of people on this board over think and under act.
Places to start:
>History of Rome podcast
>Dialogues of Plato.
Free online. Start with Apology, Crito, Euthyphro, Phaedo. Only mandatory dialogue after that is the Republic. If you enjoyed the mandatory curriculum, read his other dialogues.
>Foundations of modern philosophy: Rationalism and Empiricism.
Read Decartes meditations and a summary on Hume's empiricism. Understand the distinction between a-priori and a-posteriori. Problem of induction.
From there you have a strong enough foundation to understand other philosophers. Philosophical knowledge begins like any other as memorization of facts, but over time changes your perspective until you undergo a paradigm shift in your thought process. Push through the lulls, a shift will come after you read and think enough. This assumes you have at least above average intelligence, if not don't bother with philosophy.
>>2089976
Start with Plato and Aristotle.
For philosophy I would start with idiots guide to philosophy and everything guide to philosophy for a general understanding. From there you can isolate particular spots of interest for you and do further research.
History is much more complicated.
Is language the dankest meme in all of history?
Oy vey it's like anudda Crow-a
Who the fuck hunts dogs and cats?
Why is Russia like an alternate dimension where everything is retarded?
>>2091043
You do know that feral cats and dogs are hugely destructive pests, right? Feral dogs sometimes even kill people and are a major factor in spreading rabies.
When did 'France' come to be? When was it established on a map that there was a France?
>>2089681
France is basically just West Francia which was a successor state of Francia which unlike East Francia didn't break down into a clusterfuck known as the >Holy >Roman >Empire or Lotharingia which got annexed by both.
When God turned His back on the world.
>>2089681
France exist since Clovis which mean 5th century A.D.
This is /sci/'s list of approved literature. What is /his/'s list of approved literature? I want to know so i can become smart on topics?
No one here talks about the same shit. You'll find religious threads, historical threads, economics, and philosophy. Good luck finding a consensus of opinion on these books.
Go to the /lit/ sticky and look up right wing, left wing, greek and legal guides.
That's the best we can do. We haven't made one, yet.
Most serious ones would have primary sources.
I for one can recommend History of the Byzantine state.
It's the only time i was bored, couldn't sleep got up and read a good 100 pages before going to sleep.
>>2089672
That book The Man who Mis-took His Wife for a Hat made me fear my brain turning to a demented blob. Those close to me would argue that's a lateral move, but fuck them.
What does John Green thinks of /his/?
Look mom, i posted it again.
>>2089589
Overrated revisionist.
His youtube series is in that annoying vblogger format, one sentence jumping straight into another to keep the average mouthbreather entertained.
I'll forever be rustled by his Alexander the great video where he spends half of it talking about how women have never been called "great" apart from the ones that were...
>>2089793
I'm forever triggered by his video where he was wrong about where Constantine was born.
Why?
Because i'm from the same town.

Are they cowards?
Should they have joined the British in World War 2?
Was treating Irish men who fought for Britain poorly wrong?
Were the IRA of the 60s freedom fighters or memeraiders?
Everything in Ireland's history points to them being petty scrappers and cowards at best.
Gr8 b8 m8 I rate it 8 of 8.
>>2089465
Not baiting, my guy.
Maybe I've been misinformed but aside from one or maybe two just rebellions, they don't seem to accomplished anything beyond "Muh neutrality" which is fancy words for cowardice considering the moral implications of WW2.
De-Valera seems cucked by the catholic church and generally it seems like a failed state. Why'd they even bother fighting the English?
>>2089473
Well how would you like to fight for the people you spent hundreds of years being oppressed by.
