Why did Unions in America (and other western countries) decline so rapidly after the 1970s (and earlier)? Was there anything that could have been done to save Unions and even expand their membership during this time?
>>1732412
wtf i love canada now

Deindustrialization caused by free trade deals. America and Europe's industry now struggle to be competitive. They survive by cutting corners. If there's a strong union that defends workers, the business goes down cause it can't cut costs

Total bullshit, corporate leaders use unions as a scapegoat for their own shitty decisions and corrupt business practices. The only thing that Unions do to a company that is smart is lower the total profit rate, they don't cause bankruptcies by themselves.
Is it a meme that hunter-gatherers were more healthier, happier, stronger, smarter, and lived in an equal society free of laws, hate, and hierarchy?
Or is it just a 2000s revisionist meme history?

A modern noble savage crock of bull. Just some retard looking at his own life and thinking it would be simpler to live nearly naked out in the wilderness having to catch your food and live in mud huts.

Their belief in immortality and Zalmoxis supposedly made them immune to fear of death; but that's Herodotus for you.
Why did the French got so butthurt over a region they acquired only 200 years before, and that didn't even spoke their language?
>>1738260
People get really mad when other people take things they perceive as belonging to them. You see the same thing with niggers and the seizure of things they stole.
Oil reserves
I think it was more that the french didn't perceive their getting btfod as their fault but rather napIII's. he got them into the war in the first place and it really fucked them over and then of course there was the prussian victory parade right in paris.
Is inequality actually a bad thing, assuming those at the bottom of society have enough to live a decent life.
>>1734788
I think its a fair question to ask here. Also gentle reminder that equality is a lie by the slavemoralist to insist he can create something.
>>1734788
I'm talking about financial inequality not racial

That Poseidon statue is more likely Zeus. In the national archaeological museum in Athens the little plaque says that it could be either but most likely Zeus and then 2 meters to the right is a much smaller version found in the sea (I think along with it) pretty much the same with a thunderbolt. Most professors at the University in greece say Zeus as well

Was LBJ the last President to pretend to give a shit about poor and working class Americans? Why did the Great Society and the War on Poverty fail so badly?
>>1729511
>fail so badly
This is literal meme history
Black poverty rate halved under Johnsons presidency, which obviously had an influence on total poverty rate
>>1729513
>pretending the great society was anything other than a collosal failure which just forced ghetto blacks into middle class white neighborhoods, causing white flight, and those nice neighborhoods to become ghettos of squalor, drugs, and violent crime
>>1729523
The Great Society had a lot of good ideas and helped improve race relations the only problem was that the Vietnam War cut into its funding and overshadowed its successes.

Orthodox Church on immigration
>Such an important aspect of modern life like mass migration is not left unattended. Unlike the Catholic approach that unduly favors migrants, particularly in Europe, the Orthodox notices the negative nature of the process, as well as the fact that it leads to confrontation of different identities and value systems. In addition, the Orthodox Church propose to look at the roots of this phenomenon. The reason for the migration is the liberal, hedonistic ideology bleeding the peoples of Europe and the interests of the capitalist elite, who need a cheap and disenfranchised workforce:
>Attempts by indigenous people of the rich countries to stop the migration flow are futile, because they come in conflict with the greed of their own elites who are interested in the low-wage workforce
>Orthodox General
Fuck yes.

Since the examples you used are strictly monastic and Vatican, I'd say it's fair.

why did modern math and science arise in Judeo-Christian Europe
DESPITE THE FACT that the Arabic World, China, India were actually more advanced than Europe for centuries
especially the Arabs who were the ones actually enlightened the European Renaissance
and then somehow, Europe became the dominant scientific, mathematical, philosophical giant and the Arabic world declined why is this
>>1740992
The Arab world changed with Islam and the backsliding began.
you want an honest answer:
The Catholic Church
The collapse in trade networks and the rise of Christianity as a political force during the early middle ages ended up eliminating most slavery in Western Europe.
The Black Death broke the back of serfdom in Western Europe
There were Greek and Roman republics to imitate.
The Printing Press made dissemination of information orders of magnitude more easy than it had previously been.
Europe developed colleges which spread knowledge of science.
Patent laws created a unique incentive to create and publicize economically useful technologies.
The combination of all of these produced the Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution.
