What does /his/ think of this.
I'm reading The Fourth Turning by these guys and its an engaging read.

if anything the peak of optimism is with the current generation of 20 something. I tis hard to tell when it is will decrease since women are half the population and women are on a pedestal and they as usual live an easier life than men.
China's relationship with North Korea has not been rocked in the last 60 years, even when NK succeeded with nuclear tests and the world threw a fit.
1. Would China invade NK if it broke ties in favor of an US Alliance? NK is about as anti-American as you can find on the planet, but I doubt we would turn them down if they offered the chance to put US bases directly on the Chinese border. Hell, Saudia Arabia is a human rights shit hole and we've protected them for the last few decades.
2. Would China support NK if they attacked the US/South Korea in this day? The only thing they get from NK is a buffer between them and US bases (trade? Not even pocket money). If NK became an aggressor then China would have to decide between watching US push the south Korean border or entering a war with NATO.
TLDR: What would it take for China to break ties with North Korea.
China would fuck NK's shit up the second they stopped being useful to them and that use is acting as a buffer between them and South Korea (America's springboard)
But North Korea would never support the US for as long as SK exists and until the US allows them to have a nuclear program. Which will never happen.
On the flip side of that, the second North Korea makes a move to instigate SK/Japan/US and approach the point of no return, China would be the ones to slap them down first. They have no interest in starting a war they don't believe they're ready for. Not while they're still profiting from the US's trade.
The Chinese will be the ones to determine if/when the confrontation is going to occur and they'd never allow Kim Jung Dipshit to fuck it up.
What do you think would happen if Slim Kim and the Juche Pucche Party Posse get deposed and China steps in and sets up a puppet regime? How would the international community react? How would America react?
I really think Best Korea having a meltdown is the likeliest scenario to draw the US and China into a hot war. The way I see it going down would be: policy hawks in the CIA/NSA/Pentagon keep pushing for missions to destabilize the Chinese puppet regime in order to set up their own puppet regime, while whatever administration is in power keeps calling for free and general elections. Meanwhile S.Korea is pitching a fit and every month that goes by without reunification they get more and more rabid: putting pressure on diplomatic channels, staging protests, maybe even lauching a few of their own covert ops. Give or take a decade of this proxy war and eventually China goes hot and invades S. Korea or sinks a US ship or something and then everything goes belly up.
Anyone read this?
No! Why don't you tell us about it?

Haven't heard of it. Can you give me an overview? Sounds interesting

Hey /his/, do you think Dreyfus was innocent ?
I think he was a traitor and probably a freemason as well

Is there a more interesting period of history?

Who are the biggest sources of unwoke, blue pilled, tritest, whiggest, panglossian, globalist, prolefeed propaganda in America today and from recent history /his/?
Let's break it down by categories. Lets have:
>news
>historians
>think tanks
>shit teachers tell to students in school
>public figures
>pop culture
>entertainment
>music
Answer as many as you would like and feel free to add more if you have something else to contribute. I'll start.
>news
I always want to say Fox News but then I remember CNN still exists. Also USAToday. I don't know what it is about USAToday that makes me hate it so much. I just strikes me as a newspaper irrevocably trapped in the 80s-90s and still has all the trappings of the elite consensus of the that age.
>historians
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Hands down. Bulldog for all the bad aspects of the Kennedy administration, and a ridiculous theory of history. That's all I have to say.
>think tanks
This is a tie with the Brookings Institute and the now defunct Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The former is the establishment think tank par excellence. It never publishes anything that might make it seem like the existing state of affairs is a bad one and always hawks liberalism as the only way, like Fukuyama did in his famous book The End of History. As for the latter, lets face it, that quote about "a new Pearl Harbor" is probably the most imperialistic thing a recent think tank has ever uttered.
That's all I've got for now. What about you all?
Really, nobody has anything to contribute?

Why would I contribute to such a shitty thread?

I have nothing to contribute, but I wish you the best.

Why were there so many mediocre or shit tier presidents between Jackson and Cleveland, excluding Lincoln?
>>1555232
lol who even is this "William Henry Harrison" cat
>>1555232
Lincoln is literally fucking terrible and a meme President
Also, fuck off those presidents were great. They actually respected the office they held and the separation of powers and just did their fucking job instead of trying to rule like a monarch
You mean between John Quick Adams and Cleveland?
>people hear 'well regulated militia' in the 2nd amendment and they think this means militias regulated by the government
>in the context of enlightenment era military doctrine it actually means people should have private access to almost all of the weapons the government does
The more I learn about history the more I realize people don't fucking understand anything.
Do you ever get this feeling, /his/?

>people think "liberalism" and "fascism" are synonyms for "ideologies that conflict with mine"
>>1555123
Relevant
>>1555114
I don't understand why 2nd amendment rights people and the NRA don't support those black cop killers. Isn't the point of the 2nd amendment to take up arms and use force against oppressive governments? Isn't that what they were doing? Guns aren't for hunting deer and shit.
What were Roman cults like?

Is landed aristocracy the worst meme in the history of politics?
You prefer unlanded?
I think High Priests is a worst meme.
They always schemed against the King and leeched off the labor in return for "rituals" and "omens".
>>1554993
Feudals did that plus abused poor peasants unchecked.
