Was there ever any amazing/secret shit found out after coup d'etats or changes in Government?
So for example, when Mussolini did his March on Rome and took over Italy, did he find out any fascinating secrets from the previous government?
Or when Napoleon became Emperor?
Surely these men must find stuff out once they take over a ruling body.
Or what about when Governments change over several years, do they find anything out?
Please show some examples, I would love to find out!
>So for example, when Mussolini did his March on Rome and took over Italy, did he find out any fascinating secrets from the previous government?
considering he wanted to destroy liberal institutions, I'd say no

The Gommies captured a huge number of documents from Berlin after ww2, which would alone have been enough to prove the crimes of Nazism but of course that all came out via the trials anyway.
He found a bunch of old paint cans in the garage
How was life as a factory worker under Stalin's USSR pre-WWII? How was it compared to USA in the same period?

Lazy slobs.

All work in the Soviet Union was voluntary. Nobody was forced to work, and they could take off whenever they wanted without any penalty because all their basic needs (food, housing, healthcare) were already provided by the socialist system. However, most people chose to work purely for the good of the nation.
So a new study came out which pretty much confirmed that Indo-European invasions were mostly male driven contrast to Neolithic farmer invasion.

>For later migrations from the Pontic steppe during the LNBA, however, we estimate a dramatic male bias, with ~5-14 migrating males for every migrating female. We find evidence of ongoing, primarily male, migration from the steppe to central Europe over a period of multiple generations, with a level of sex bias that excludes a pulse migration during a single generation.
Thoughts?
>however, we estimate a dramatic male bias, with ~5-14 migrating males for every migrating female
So business as usual for Europe?

So rampant homosexuality.

No they mostly took local females, mtDNA haplogroups stayed more or less the same thousands of years.
What do you think of the New Atheism movement, /his/?
>>1764227
Who fucking cares, atheism is boring.
>>1764227
I think they represent atheism in the same way Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, and Ray Comfort represent Christianity.

Dawkins: Generally pretty good, certain people give him a lot of flack but he's made actual contributions to science and his biggest "sin" is "writing books that criticize religion".
Sam Harris: Misguided at best, foolish at worst.
Dan Dennet: Don't know enough about him.
Christopher Hitchens: Both the best and the worst. The worst being his full retard stance on foreign policy.
Crusades thread
Not much to say it has been fully discussed. Maybe peasent crusade? Thoughts on that?

What a time to be alive, I wish we still had crusades these days
Why do the Gospels say absolutely nothing about Jesus's young adulthood? Is it because he only got his Wizard Powers at 30?
jesus doesnt real
>>1763752
There were multiple gospels recounting Jesus's childhood actually. None made it into the final accepted version of the bible, however. Many of the stories revolved around Jesus learning to use his "son of god" powers responsibly by making some mistake and then being forced to go back and fix it.

why did the us give it up?
Lol idk
>>1763602
Because the leader of Panama at the time was threatening to blow it up if they weren't allowed to have it, and the US was still queasy from Vietnam and didn't really want to send troops to deal with the problem.
Keep in mind that the US could retake the canal in a second if they really wanted to, so overall it isn't a bad deal because the US still gets to use the canal anyway.

makes sense
is wage work slavery? Why am I content with waking up everyday and going to work just to survive? I'm starting to sympathize with socialist beliefs more and more each day. Tell me why I shouldn't.

Socialism works fine so long as you don't get go too far and you have a democratic form of government.

So wait, there was really a time when anarchists committed random acts of violence in hopes that it would inspire revolution? My question is why did this stop? How was anarchism as an ideology defeated?
>>1762727
>why did this stop?
Because it was clearly ineffective
'Propaganda of the deed' as a strategy did not inspire people - it alienated them.
Compare it to today's terrorism. Yes, it inspires some (perhaps more due to the amount of information we can access these days), but not the masses due to its destructive and 'evil' nature.
>How was anarchism as an ideology defeated?
Anarchism is still around...
>>1762727
This is happening constantly. The most recent and famous was probably the Manson family slaughtering people and trying to pin it on blacks.

Presidents and world leaders in general have a lot more security nowadays.
What is the Good?
Was Hitler a humble man?
maybe
>>1762466
Humble in rhetoric and self-portrayal, but elevating oneself to the position of dictator is pretty much the clearest expression of megalomania there is.

Kek, no. He just knew for a country to function correctly there needs to be one vision, and one vision only. Multiple people in control of the same power colludes to the point where neither can achieve their goals. This is no way justifies or even attempts to justify what he did, it's simply stating dictators are not all bad. Dictatorships are essentially the opposite of a capitalist democratic society, of course they would get heavily shafted. Google Dictator. See what you get? You don't get pic related, that's for sure. You only get the bad, to the point where I highly doubt you average human bean knows of any dictatorship that worked out.
