Yes, obviously. The left-right is a false dichotomy and an oversimplification to make politics easier for politically-uneducated voters (most voters tbqh). I hate it.

it's almost like the southern states agreed to the 1789 constitution and had been ruled under the American Constitution-the oldest active constitution in the world btw- for over 70 years before revolting. It's almost like that constitution made their cecession unlawful and therefore the north did literally nothing wrong.

Basically, the Proto-Bulgars were an East Iranian tribe that migrated to the Central Asian steppes, after arriving, they were subsequently assimilated into Turkic culture.You probably know the rest, Asparukh leads a portion if it's people to Europe, they settle into modern-day Bulgaria, are wholesomely slavicized etc.

It's WE WUZ bullshit along the lines of Sarmatism and the Croat/Horoatha revisionism.

Basically, inculcate the idea in a populace long enough that their history is squalid, worthless and peripheral, and they'll look for a different history for themselves.

fucking turk dog

Kurds are worse than Turks and that's saying something.

By whom? Maybe teens on this board who love masturbating to the philosophy (armchair critic) memes, but not real people.

Progress in technology, economy and society are the real history, scientists, engineers and explorers are the heroes.
Wars and battles are just accidents of history.

Anglo propaganda

>>1975177
Germany throwing so much at Britain and achieving so little could be perceived as helping save Russia and win the war

Also britbongs know that 60% of the landing forces at d day were brits and australians, it could be argued Hitler's blunder with the battle of britain and lack of navy to defense against the Royal Navy lost them the war

I mean they were bombed by the fucking Germans. The closest thing that happened to us was some commercial ships sunk in the Atlantic and Pearl Harbor.

They had to go to work while they were being bombed, meaning their civilians were taking place in a war. Another thing, if it weren't for their insular position coupled with their Admiralty, we quite may well have not won that war at all, and it would have been a stalemate with Nazi Germany existing. You may have forgotten, we were not going to get involved at ALL, but because of the excellently negotiated Land-Lease deal we gave them our ships in exchange for territory closer to their zones of battle.

Dont know much, but I think communism idealy borrows some aspects one would often identify with the far-right. Example would be Extreme Nationalism, which can form the base for the sense of commune which is the foundation of a communist society. Look at the response of the Soviet people during the Eastern Front.

Scarcity of resources.

It's just what I do

Its all a balance of group selection and selfish genes. Strong threat outside the group? Time for everyone to pull together. Stable prosperous time? Then let's find out who's top dog. You don't do your genes any favors by giving a sucker an even break.

Extremist ideologies in general attract outcasts because
1) They have more time to learn about and consider such ideologies
2) They have little connection to the society in which they live or possibly even dislike it
3) They're already a bit unhinged because they can't make friends in a fucking constitutional republic, aka EZ mode for the proletariat

By modern liberal standards 99% of all regimes have been "ruthless authoritarian."

They are among the meekest people, so they want to attatch themselves to power to feel like they are significant. It's just a projection of insecurity and self percieved inferiority.

no, i was not a cause of the situation nor am I morally obligated to become part of the situation, the morality of the situation is on the perpetrator who tied those people to the tracks and set the trolley off. I am in no moral quandry but the one who allowed this to happen in the first place is.

Because it is the earliest book written in the one language they read.

The Douay-Rheims translation actually came first. The problem is, it's Catholic.

KJV is the first fully Protestant translation in English, and afaik I don't think there is very much reader bias in the translation either.

It appears that when your "tanks" are literally just armored cars and your planes can't take off because no fuel and destroyed airstrips, having more soldiers doesn't really help.
Who knew.

They're generally very mediocre.
On one hand they usually manage to handle their people well, and they can avoid the divided base that plagues lot of politicians.
On the other hand they're usually total amateurs at dealing with the opposition and statecraft, so they rarely do anything of real effect with their strong position.
Also they tend to be in a position of conflicting interests, both at a personal level and through business connections, so expect interested legislating.

Savages are used to walk barefoot. Shoes would just inhibit them.

>>1974600
When you walk barefoot all the time the skin on your soles gets super thick. In rainy weather and mud (common in northern Europe) it has much better friction than shoes with a flat profile, especially since you can grip with toes when climbing up a muddy hill f.e.

Vikings sometimes used to take their shoes off for fighting.
