I thought of posting this in /tv/ but decided this would be a better place.

What really surprised me in Season 1 was that, while they didn't find any proof that Hitler left the bunker alive, they did prove he could have. At that point, the discussion changes from "how did he?" to "why wouldn't he?"

Ultimately though, they need to find some piece of evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he survived after 1945. That's why I hope they stay focused on that, rather than going off on a tangent about the Fourth Reich and arms dealers.

What do you guys think?

Not too bad assuming you weren't an enemy of the state or a partisan. Sure life was tough in an occupied puppet regime, but conditions on the ground were still shitty considering the blockade and the loss of most of their resources for domestic use. Unlike Italy or Germany, Vichy remained largely unmolested by Allied bombing and thus was able to keep some semblance of normalcy for the average person living under it. Vichy for the most part was out of the line of fire for the allies, and they surrendered much of their North Africa holdings without a fight due to shitty supplies and nonexistent morale. Vichy gave Indochina to the Japanese, and basically gave all administrative duties of Corsica to Italy after the Vichy/French navy was scuttled.

The Vichy Army and what was left of their Airforce/Navy was totally unfit for combat and its amazing that they didn't all just dissert out of pure apathy for the Vichy Regime.

Hope I was helpfull

So, what's the verdict on colonization ? After all these years, it still seems a bit taboo.

Obviously, Europeans created economic strctures that would always advantage them. The colonies produced for Europeans. The tentatives plans to develop the colonies didn't really work in the end. That said, post-colonial studies also showed indigenous people were also part of colonization. The colonies were loosely controlled and some ethnies profited from the colonization.

Colonialism has many bad aspects yes but some good such as infrastructure building done by the colonist and better education. I've looked a lot into colonialism but I still have very mixed feelings, being a complex issue.

Does racism exist on a political/socioeconomically level in America?

I mean with affirmative action, a minority has a better chance of getting out of poverty than a white person. I believe 90% of African American grad school applicants are accepted compared to much lower white applicants despite having a lower average GPA and test scores.

Does the political system actually discriminate, or is it just a social/made up myth?

Not /pol/. Just a normal privileged black guy. I honestly believe discrimination happens on lower income people, and isn't a race thing at all. Sure you have people who are personally racist, but on the "we don't get the same opportunity we din do nuffin" it's entirely made up. If anything, we have the upper hand in opportunity.

Depends on the criteria.

Black people are way, way more likely to go to jail on drug charges, despite white people and black people using about the same amount of drugs.

Outside of the criminal justice system, it's pretty even.
>>
>>1942054
There is some discrimination based on race but it has been severely over hyped since of how big of a problem it was in the past. I mean the people who would be in charge of hiring people are probably the last people who care about race. The biggest reason why Black people are disproportionately poor is because they basically started at zero at the end of slavery and were kept down for a long time. There is also a cultural difference that is extremely hurtful to them, where athletes, criminals and musicians are valued far more than any sort of educated position. ghetto culture discourages education in a really saddening way considering education is their most likely way for progressing. This also has a chain reaction where poor achievement leads to teachers who don't want to teach in predominantly black areas and those schools are severely underfunded and overcrowded.

>>1942071
Are the legal punishments for crimes really that much different per race? I mean obviously I hear it in the news a lot, but I'm pretty sure the black guy got a longer sentence because it was his 4th offense compared to the white kid's first offense, and they blow it out of proportion. Same with crimes in general. Like police brutality. Statistically like 90% of blacks murdered are by other black people. And cops kill more white people than black people.

Kaiser Wilhelm did send Hitler a congratulations telegram after the battle of France.

But yeah, mutual disdain.

In your opinion, what are the most effective arguments that can be directed against Christianity? I'm interested in debunking it from a moral/philosophical angle, but I find the amount of plagiarism in the Bible to be a particularly strong argument. (The website "Exposing Christianity" summarizes this well.)
Anyone else here have any particular favorite arguments/sources to use?

Jesus as the messiah.

The Jews have absolutely blown Christianity the fuck out on this front.

You're a retard.

You're trying to attack Christianity from a position of Positivism when you don't even realise the principle of religion is that it does not concern itself with reason, it ultimately an action, a method of living, no different to how one eats and sleeps, no different to how a bird flaps its wings.

Maybe when you grow up you'll realise that, and maybe you should stop reading and watching retarded new age atheists who think every can be argued against from a standpoint of Scientific Realism.
>>
>>1941636


From my point of view, it's as follows: Suppose it is true. Jesus really is the Messiah and the son of God, and now to achieve salvation, you need to have faith in him and do whatever in order to buy into his crucifixion.

Why then, was the Old Law given? The mainstream answer is that to show how people can't live by God's rules, but that necessitates God deliberately lying to who knows how many millions of people for roughly a thousand years about how to achieve salvation for your soul.

Not Scottish.

The German says:
"In such habit(fashion) did 800 Irelanders -or Madmen- arrived in Stettin."

This was during the 30 years war. There is a play on words between Irrlander (irelander, Irish) and Irren (crazy, insane, madman, not of sound mind). Implying that Irrland is a place of people with no sound minds.

Yes

Hired under Gustavus Adolphus during the 30 years war Queen Elizabeth the 1st for beating up rebellions in Ireland, under Spain I believe and plenty of others I'm sure, I would assume highlander tribes were much more likely to become mercenaries

How did Romans evaluate the worth of properties for the purposes of their satraps tax collectors? Where commercial properties such as mines exempt, as they are now in the US? How susceptible to corruption was this policy compared to income tax?

Well it would really depend on which time frame you asking about. During the Republic is more or less no taxes, but rather aristocrats paying out of pocket for roads, buildings and their own militias to gather prestige from among their peers and the people.

This slightly shifted when they reached the Imperial era and tax collection depended on who was in charge at the time. Some sent out tax collectors who harassed and extorted every single penny. While some like Julian the Apostate actually lowered the taxes, so it would be cheaper to pay the taxes then it would be to try and hide their wealth, which actually refilled the coffers.

But for the most part it was completely corrupt
>>
>>1941456
All taxation is a form of corruption, in a sense, but I was specifically asking how it compared to income tax, or if income taxation was even feasible in that era.

I imagine property taxation has a lot of potential for abuse, as the tax collector has a lot of leeway in saying what property is and isn't worth.

For example, if you base property on its last sale price, you could sell your property to a relative for 0 dollars and sell it back to you for 0 dollars.

Wasn't land not taxed in Rome for a certain periods of time
