Interesting seeing this behaviour amongst Redditors.

The AskScience related subreddits aren't even that bad. You want to steer away from the subreddits in which circle jerking turns out badly.

They were in existence a century fucking ago.

The Hague started meeting in the 19th Century.

>when they were not [condemned as rigidly as today]
I admit my own shortcomings. English is not my first language. It is to be said that nowadays the attitude towards abuse towards prisoners or civilians is incredibly strict, something that I don't see as being the case in the past centuries. Am I wrong in my assumptions? Please, correct my ignorance.

It is my reasoning that abuse towards prisoners and civilians of an opposing country become more prevalent the more rooted in ideology the conflict in question is. This may lead to the deduction that the rise of propaganda thanks to the improvements in communication may be assigned as one of the causes of the rise of ideological war crimes during the first half of the 20th century. At the same time, the media can assume the role of "saviours", as giving public attention to these acts makes it easier to see them and condemn them. Are war crimes a media-related phenomenon, then?

there is no such thing as war crimes, the winner takes it all, Stalin killed millions of his own people and USA dropped 2 nukes on a civilian city, and they never got shit about it cause they won, war crimes happen all the time in the conflicts of today's world except some are covered by the media and the ones choosing which one is covered are the ones in power.

There were valid reasons for it to be fought but it didn't need to be as extreme and long as it was.

>pointless
Literally how though
All participants had their reasons that weren't any worse than any other reasons any nation has ever had for going to war

it didnt so much when u walked into a village and recruited the fit and able men and handed them all a spear and uniform but now we are getting to automatic weapons and nuclear arsenals

shame human psychology didn't evolve along the same tandem gradiant

Last I checked, the illegality of murder was not an ex post facto law. The war crimes most certainly were not as most of those laws had been in place since before WWI and then amended immediately after.

That wasn't Peron's point

Strange

These notes say otherwise

>After separation from mainland Australia, the Tasmanian people were not able to share any of the new technological advances being made by mainland groups. This made the Aboriginal Tasmanians a people that could flourish with some of the simplest technologies on record.
Is this the worst case of Rose-tinted glasses in history?

It is a different experience for many.
For some it means finally recognizing your absolute and seemingly inconceivable insignificance in relation to your city, your region, your country, your world, and your universe. For others, it is an audit on our ego. And for others still it is the only way they can stay self-aware.

It means to become whole.

The one in my diary.

Will historians take the late 2000s sociopathy meme as an indicator of actual trends, or just evidence that Sherlock was way overrated?

>>1594032
I mean, there's so much information overload on the internet I highly doubt historians will analyze each and every meme, especially a niche meme like sociopath wojak or even wojak himself

And the historians of tommorow won't say anything too dicey in king Sander's democratic-socialist empire

When people in Europe think of war they generally think of the European front. They may think of Pearl Harbor and the nukes but between that it's a gap.
And the Germans at least had a chance.
Japan was doomed from the start.

Tell us a specific subject, a person, an event, a time period, whatever, and we'll recommend you some shit. There are too many things that encompass "history and humanities" to fit on a sticky. We'd have to have a /his/ wiki like /mu/ or /lit/.

I'm not reading much history these days but books and journals are the only sources for nonfictional subjects. The web is great for light reading, but to actually learn, use it to find the right books.

Lisa Frank was a Russian and did tattoos before coming to America to make stationary.

I'm Russian, but I don't think I can explain or translate it better than it already is on the page. It's just three Russian words serving as abbreviations for sentences provided in the image. The cats are supposed to signify a thief and his loved one I suppose.
