Doubtful.

Let me introduce you to one universal law of societies:
>Selfish bastards will always find a way to abuse any social system.

Unless it is an utopian fairy tale anarchy, it is probably corrupt.

The most superior social system was the single family based roaming hunter-gatherer families. Or in other words, the best social system is an animal flock.

However, I would not really like to live in such a society.

Those judgments are just as absurd as white supremacy

No. And it's very generous to call anything in the americas (excluding the inca) an empire let alone a great empire.

What do these reactionary misogynist memesters think of Margaret Thatcher?

Say what?

>why is anglo saxon called anglo saxon
Because Angles and Saxons were the ones settling Britain the most, so it's an ethnic name, not the linguistic one.

>>1908448
So the saxons going to britain were largely adopting anglic rather than using saxon?

The idea of an Anglo-Frisian language family is outdated IIRC.

>So what exactly was the Turkish war of independence?

meme term, it was just t*rks stealing clay once again

>>1907656
Basically after WWI the victorious powers decided to split up the Ottoman Empire much as they did the Austro-Hungarian one. While separating the various subjugated ethnicities was a good thing (except for the fact they were now subjugated by England and France) The plan also called for the carving up of the Turkish people with an eventual goal of colonizing them and having Greece take Istanbul/Constantinople (No one ever explained about what would happen to the majority non-greek population of the city). Ataturk had been an Ottoman general and led a revolution against both the occupying French/British forces as well as the armies of the Ottoman Sultan who was collaborating with the occupiers to keep himself ruler of a rump state. Ataturk defeated the occupiers and the Ottoman loyalists and abolished the multi-national Ottoman state and founded one based on a Turkish national identity. The Kurds missed out because the places where they lived in the Ottoman Empire overlapped the lines drawn by the uncaring european occupiers when they carved up the middle-east and Ataturk cared more about securing his Turkish states borders than the self rule of the portion of Kurdish land that fell within its eastern fringe.

Thanks for this post

>>1907605
Country declares territory, then builds stuff on that territory, since Mars and Moon are just fucking rock no need to fight for land because it everywhere literally. Colony sends metal back to host country in exchange for being able to live, eventually colony states form their economic system on the celestial body, which may lead to a cosmic war because some asshole will try to create slavery on ster- I mean a interplanetary economic system.

Because the colonies are so far from their host countries the inhabitants can do whatever they want, as long as they gibs metal to boost the economy of their host country.

Meaning a racist state could form on Mars and no would do shit because its too far away to care about.

>>1907635
I had to go get food and was thinking about it. Since the colonists are literally on a new planet, no life or previous culture or natives wouldn't the colonists feel somewhat more attached to their original culture and encourage new generations to be more patriotic in order to preserve some sense of culture and 'humanity' i guess on the rock they're on.

Definitely land grabs, If you occupy its defacto yours.

Fuck virtue ethics
Marry consequentialism
Kill deontology

>>1907563
Hard decision

I'd fuck Role Ethics, marry role ethics, and kill everything else.

I'd marry deontology and sometimes have an affair with consequentialism.

Virtue ethics is nice, but unattractive, so it has to die by default.

Really makes you stink.

It's a half-retarded /r9k/ way of saying something important.

Basically you should never use just one source for any aspect of history.

You should consult as many different sources as possible, especially differing opinions.

That way you can attempt to at least try to see through all the bias of the sources, to find out what really happened.

>>1906806
>>1906829
You're taking things out of the context. The point made in the thread was that historical figures are not real people. They're not good role models because there are no history books accurate enough to depict a person in perfect detail.
It wasn't about the quality or quantity of historic sources, but about history books not being able to transmit personal experience.

Terrible analogy, France started the vietnam war

>Terrible analogy
How exactly?

>both America and France committed to stopping their enemy for its ideology not to spread (communism and decolonization)
>theme of a traumatized youth sent to fight an unneeded war
>insurgency war
>perceived "betrayal" in America abandonning South Vietnam, and France abandonning the native French settlers
>military victory that was stopped in its track due to dissent on the homefront

And let's not forget:
>a shitload of helicopters

French already had their Vietnam, dumbass

/his/ is actually Franco

>>1906481
I wouldn't really say /his/ is predominately fascist, but if it was one or the other out of those two, it's definitely Mussolini.

He even liked stirner.

He was pretty anti-Georgian in practice, except for nominating a couple Georgian buddies (Beria, Ordzhonikidze) to key positions.

Stalin refused every demand of the Georgians for greater autonomy, and was the fiercest opponent of Lenin in the early 1920s, when actual independence was proposed for the non-Russian republics. Stalin identified Georgia as a backwards region incapable of proper socialist self-rule, and ingratiated himself with Russian culture to appear more sophisticated.

Was more of a Leninist than Marxist who had sub standard theoretical knowledge.

Did nothing wrong though and was the best man for the job
