Arguably worse in some ways, as the Japanese didn't have to save face in front of their equally-powerful peers. A good example would be the British reaction to the Belgian Congo - there really wasn't any sort of response of that caliber or with that much political relevance in East Asia.

Interesting note: the Rand corporation (of DoD fame) studied the forced collectivization and emigre programs of Manchukuo.

>ywn live in the timeline were Formosa remained Japanese clay and is now ethnically and culturally assimilated into glorious Nippon.

Why do chinks have to ruin everything lads?

None it was merely a title.

Every single one of those empires claimed to be the true successors of Rome, it was more than just a title, specially a the time

>true successors of Rome
But their not Roman.

A total reform of their values for the modern age, they need a more extreme Vatican II. Of course, Islam isn't centralized like Catholicism, so that would be difficult.

>>2074902
So ISIS reforming a caliphate could actually be the only foreseeable solution?
:^)

when did it ever really have the respect of a christian dominated society?
Problem is because Christianity already exists it got all the violent out of its system while islam as a result doesn't have the same space to do so. So they'll forever remain barbarians or at least take a lot longer to get a reformation and mellow out.

>Flunk state scholar exams, again
I always feel bad for him desu. He failed the state exams three times or so and the cultural shame of it was so strong that he became a madman who was responsible for millions of deaths. It's almost like Hitler's failure to get into art school, but worse because the cause and effect is so obvious here.

Why is it that arguably the 2nd deadliest conflict in human history is virtually unheard of in the west? Euro-centrism? Not enough permanent change? Embarrassing christian heretic?

>>2074865
The west doesnt care about china

Also the death toll was only so high because of famine and ridiculously high civilian population

In a military sense it was smaller than the US civil war

They're just northern people who migrated south, not much more to them than that

>>2074363

They came from a swamp in southwestern Belarus around 500 AD. They were literally an unknown little tribe that no one really knew about.
Eastern Europe was ravaged by Turkics and Goths which gave the tiny Slavic tribe an opportunity to expand and they took it.
It was all just about being at the right place at the right time.

We pulled out because of the shitastic rules of engagement set by incompetent politicians in DC.

Now this can be attributed to the media's portrayal of the war. However I think that the media at the time was more capitalistic and less liberal than today. As such, they started catering to the left when they saw they could profit from it.

However the only reason the above could happen was technology. Being able to see little Jimmy get shot or shoot someone who could be a noncombatant I'm real-time can do a real number on the home front which is were wars are won. If your people back home won't support it then you can't wage war.

>>2074188
No, poor Vietnamese farmers did.

Lack of clear grand strategy other than "contain communism" and failure to understand the enemy led America to lose Vietnam.

It doesn't matter if you win every engagement if the enemy is still capable of giving you hell.

in regards to evolution/science, there are really no high level scientists who deny evolution
you can look up Thunderf00t's talk with Dawkins, where they went into some detail where TF disagreed on some things

in regards to theology/religion
Dawkins believes religion to be nonsense, so he won't take the time to study the esoteric minutiae of holy texts and traditions

>Dawkins believes religion to be nonsense, so he won't take the time to study the esoteric minutiae of holy texts and traditions
That's the biggest cop-out i've ever seen.
I mean, i consider Islam, an-cap and dialetical marxism to be false and idiotic, but if i made a big deal to write entire books on why one of them is like, so fake and evil, guys, going all "i don't need to explain shit, or science forbid, actually know what the fuck i'm talking about, because it's just a retarded as (insert appeal to ridicule here)" is just dodging responsibility for your words whenever you are called out.

>>2073614
He's not a theologian and therefore not qualified to comment on whether god is likely to exist or not

Frankly, if moderate religion was abandoned, and it came down to athiests vs. fanatics, fanatics would probably win easily.

Full of meme scientists as leaders.

AKA, people who are shit at science so they talk about science to fucking normies who eat it up.

Normies think adding to the hobby list listening to 'scientists' talk about space and stars and shit makes them intelligent.

Sadly, Neal Degrasse Tyson talking about how star trek space ships would actually not make noise in space isn't fuckign science.

So these idiot fucks who can't write science papers decide to write hack tier edgey philosophy books without knowing a thing about philosophy.

>I'm going to use tools to examine the physical world to prove a non-physical entity does not exist

So stupid they don't' even understand what science is, they then mock philsophy as worthless despite that being the enterprise they are attempting to pursue with their HACK books.

NDT got his doctorate solely because of his skin color. He has like 3 papers with his name as 3rd author. Now he is an administrator at a planetarium.

Dawkins is the same shit. He has 12 papers about bumble bee digging patterns. He was so fucking shitty at it he decided to sell edgey books to reddit.com.

You can easily tell who's an idiot and who isn't by how much respect they have for 'new atheism'.

Off the top of my head I would think Napoleon's march to Moscow as it is kinda similar

"European welfare state without the Muslim immigrants"

In the future: robotics and automation do everything and you input your needs and wants daily into an ASI which plans the economy and everybody lives like KANGZ

>implying social capitalism isn't far and away the best way to run a country

In the year negative a billion Japan might not have been here. That's interesting

There's some really compelling religious developments between 1000 and the start of the Sengoku peroid.
