Concerning agriculture
>In agriculture, the government exerted just as much influence as it did in industrial matters. Mussolini introduced the "Battle of the Grain" in 1925, which aimed to make Italy self-sufficient in foodstuffs, a quality that would increase the prestige of the Regime, while at the same time taking necessary precautions for the coming war. It was one of Mussolini's more successful propaganda efforts, as grain imports lowered considerably. However, the concentration on grain shifted focus away from other crops, restricted lucrative exports, and benefited only large landholders, who were allied with the government and better suited for such changes. Many small landholders fell into debt and eventually lost their possessions.
> During the Depression, these unfavorable conditions only worsened. Tensions caused serious strikes and some violence, and this disorder led the Fascists to institute a "ruralization" policy, which would stem the movement of people from rural areas and smaller cities into the larger urban centers of the peninsula. The Fascists hoped to decrease the number of poor and unemployed in the cities, but in the end they were unable to control the masses of people entering the cities, and urban areas continued to swell even after the Regime had fallen.

I should have spent more time learning about the lives of long dead people and societies

Says who? And to what end?
You're trying to say history, either as an academic or a hobby, you fail to distinguish, it a meaningless pursuit, despite the concept of "meaning" being abstract.

What do you think of Young Earth creationists, /his/?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKBCIWh6XA
They'd be better off with no means of communication to anything or anyone.
Absolute retards trying to rationalise their outdated, infantile beliefs.
>>2081479
They are to Science what Holocaust Deniers are to History.
Can rational argument really change someone's opinion?
Nah
>>2081443
Heh, no. They wouldn't perceive it as rational argument.

The one true religion of the world is mysticism(made popular by Hindus). Christianity at its core is a mystical religion. Jesus Christ was an ordinary man who was the first ever to achieve a state of permanent union with the divine, making his will completely at one with the will of God. Jesus Christ died to atone for the sins of mankind AND the divine. To be a complete sacrifice he had to stay dead without aid of God.
The purpose of mankind on earth right now is to become the second Christ (famously refered to as the Holy Ghost or Spirit of Truth). The Spirit of Truth's purpose is to resurrect Jesus Christ from the dead ("You will do greater works than me" "When you lift up the Son of Man, I will draw the earth to my self.")
All that matters now is finding a pathway to the Divine.
The understanding of the Second Christ finally produces an understanding of eternal damnation.
If the Second Christ is to fail, then irreparable harm is done to God's will. An eternal sin, which we know that justice dictates would result in eternal condemnation.
So there is an eternal hellfire
But only if the Second Christ fails, otherwise there will just be normal hellfire equal to the amount of time spent sinning.

What does /his/ think of Trotsky?
Why did Stalin have him killed?
Would he have made a better leader of the USSR than Stalin?
What would of the USSR been like if he was in charge?
Bump for curiosity
A Jew in charge instead of Stalin.
Jeez, I wonder how this would turn out.
He was even more brutal and bloodthirsty than Stalin.
Bukharin was the real good guy. URSS under his leadership would enact the kind of policies that Deng Xiaoping enacted in China and would become a powerhouse.
This show portrays the Medici as progressive force against the reactionary and conservative noble families.
Ruthless pragmatists, but ultimately a family that was loyal to Florence's best interests.
Fair assessment?
>>2080683
is it good?
>>2080759
Well it's built on entirely false premise: "Was Giovanni de Medici murdered?"
But otherwise it's fairly entertaining, has a decent cast (Dustin Hoffman, Robb Stark, Brian Cox) and the Italian setting is pretty cool.
8 million Italians watched it each week.

Looking at the normal picture with the lamb looks weird because I'm so used to seeing the raptor one.
Also, no. There is no evidence of any miracle ever because everything has a physical explanation.

How common was torture in the Middle Ages?
Do want actual torture (strappado, water boarding) or obscene punishment (what everyone usually means when they say torture)?
>>2080309
What's the distinction?
>>2080364
"minor" torture was fairly common, especially to force confessions.
"obscene" torture was rare and reserved for special cases.
Genghis Khan was said to have red hair, so if that is true he was mixed-race and mainly White himself. Whites had also already been largely supplanted in Central Asia and mixed with Mongoloid types long before Genghis Khan. Since at least the time of the Huns, hundreds of years earlier.
Persian historian Rashid-al-Din recorded in his Jami' al-tawarikh that the legendary "glittering" ancestor of Genghis Khan was tall, long-bearded, red-haired, and green-eyed. Rashid al-Din also described the first meeting of Genghis and Kublai Khan, when Genghis Khan was surprised to find that Kublai had not inherited his red hair.
According to al-Din, Genghis' Borjigid clan legend involving their origins: It began as the result of an affair between Alan-ko and a stranger to her land, a glittering man who happened to have red hair and bluish-green eyes. Modern historian Paul Ratchnevsky has suggested in his Genghis biography that the "glittering man" may have been from the Kyrgyz people, who historically displayed these same characteristics. However, these traits can be found among modern Mongolians where they have a predominate Mongoloid appearance and with frequent occurrence of blue eyes, green eyes and red hair.[58]
Genghis Khan was white just like all great conquerors
Before mongs and turks came around the Indo-European nomads were the masters of the steppe.
His red hair must have come from recessive Scythian genes.
