It's not a sign of anything.

Gun control. Funding terrorists, fucking up the geopolitical scene. DARE, everything he did related to drugs. fuck that guy

>>1612571
The push for Gun Control is the most ironic part.

He was trying to stop communism, and it somewhat worked. He didn't really have foresight, but he completed his short term goal.

>>1612564

Also the fact that he consulted astrology was kinda weird

went to hell

>>1612504
i thought christianity was the religion of peace and christ taught forgiveness?

>>1612489
They go to special heaven with the eskimos and aborted babies

Russia would still be shit, maybe the rest of Eastern Europe wouldn't be so shitty.

Op wouldn't have posted this useless thread so I would consider it a huge improvement.

Imagine a world where Jews never existed.

Luke. He was a jedi

paul desu

John, according to Saint Jerome. That's why he was called "the Beloved Disciple". He was very spiritually advanced according to Jerome too, which is why he could witness the Revelations. Also according to Jerome, Christ would have made him leader, except the others would feel insulted due to John's age (he was a teenager).

By far the most annoying and most damaging thing about modern Christianity.

They had a good show in the early 00's but their time has passed. No one cares about Ken Ham or Kent Hovind anymore, not even to ridicule them.

Bill Nye with his stupid fucking debate only served to keep Ham in the limelight just a little bit longer, thankfully it didn't last.

And although it was mostly Christians who got the focus, in particular the weirdo protestant sects. Orthodox Jews are actually way worse when it comes to YEC. I think they didn't raise a stink though because they mostly send their kids to yeshiva schools or whatever and aren't worried about what they teach in public education.

Serious question, why do you keep posting this shit multiple times per day?

>Hey guys, let's build a super heavy artillery piece that can only move along a pre-determined path (thus making it super easy to find and destroy) and can be stopped just by cutting railroads.

God the Nazis were retarded.

>>1612217
It required its own special railroad to be built for it before it could be assembled. However, it was designed to break through the Maginot Line, so its not like its targets were moving.

>>1612212
Yes, OP. They destroyed them to keep them from falling into Allied hands. There's photos of GIs posing inside the wrecked barrels.

>>1612217
Yeah man but it completely annihilated anything it was shot at

>do you anything

Do you know anything* of course

Yeah that sounds pretty interesting, depends on what games though. Never heard of anything like it specifically but I wouldn't be surprised if its out there.

No, because the purpose of Paradox games and games like them isn't history but alternate history & autistic micromanagement.
Anyone who thinks these games are actually supposed to reflect history in anything other than initial map setups is lying to himself.

>What do you think the most important lessons of history are?
There is no good guy or bad guy.

Jean of Arc and her French soldiers were certain that God was on their side. Meanwhile, the anglos believed God was on their side. The dynasties of China rose to power by claiming Mandate of Heaven, yet were ever so quick to deny the legitimacy of the new claimants. Hitler started a massive war that killed many people, and the US explicitly targeted German civilian centers for bombing raids.

If anyone tells you "[insert polity or leader here] is bad we have to stop them!", tell that person to first analyze themselves.

The thing about learning from the past is that it doesn't offer concrete answers for modern problems. It provides examples of every type, but it doesn't provide a solution for the foibles of the human condition. It's comforting to think that one can arm themselves with knowledge against all danger, but what about everyone else? What about the structural & societal flaws that encompasses thousands or millions or billions of people working in tandem? There are faults that no individual can set right.

In any event the same flaws that caused ruin to every civilization won't go away just because you can recognize them in the past. Avarice, envy, paranoia, pride etc... etc...Even an enlightened leader can find himself powerless against the inertia of existing circumstances.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

>>1611955
the Bible states that angels are inferior to humans on the spiritual plane, but superior to humans on the physical plane.

>>1611988
you wanna quote that for me?

>>1612011
I don't know about Christianity, but in Islam, humans are superior to Angels. The whole reason Satan was sent down from heaven was because he refused to prostrate to Adam, while the other Angels did.

Depends on how far back you're talking. But I dont see you dying of dysentery, which is objectively better.

>>1611923
I mean, yeah. It's good to not shit myself to death, but most other advancements we have these days are technological distractions.

What is the word that describes this phenomenon anyway?

>>1611962
the unibomber

Can a crimboss be charged with criminal conspiracy for illegal activities committed by his underlings?

>>1611921
>Stalin
>dictator

>>1611930
Why?
>>1611934
Humans aren't brainless robots that just follow orders, you know.... and you have to enjoy your job and be a sadist to murder people, regardless if it's an order or not.

I assume you mean: Could he have prevented the two-party system?

The answer is yes. There are two different ways he could have done it:

First, he could created an electoral system based on proportionate representation and utilizing a preferential vote system to ensure that third parties are able to win seats.

Alternatively, he could have simply accepted calls for him to become king and instituted a monarchy with him as the first monarch.

Either option would have averted the two-party system.

>>1611937
but couldn't the supreme court or congress override either of the executive actions?

>>1611958
the supreme court couldn't really override shit back in the day, that's a pretty recent phenomenon.

>220px-A_Tang_Dynasty_Empress_Wu_Zetian.jpg
Wu Zetian may have been an Empress at one point, but her real claim to fame was becoming an Emperor, and she should be referred to as such to make not of her achievement of becoming the only female Emperor in Chinese history.

To be fair it's the fault of English for using "Empress" to mean a female imperial consort (皇后 or 皇妃) instead of a female Emperor (女帝 or 女性天皇)
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/女帝

>>1611902

It's so improbable that a woman would achieve ultimate power in a pre-modern society that you can be fairly sure that most female rulers were competent at least, and often very exceptional people.
