>Is it useful to continue breeding dogs?

Fixed and no

>>1529780
I always hated lap dogs. They don't serve much purpose other then personal pleasure usually for women. So many of them have bizarre body shapes that are pointless. At least stuff like dachshunds were bred to be able to fit into badger and rabbit holes. Stuff like Chihuahuas should just be gassed or exterminated.

No, Zoophilia is never ethical.

t. Anon who believes that a Utopian resource-based economy would actually work in this day and age or ever for that matter.

I can elaborate further why I'd have zero interest in it if you want but I'm currently on my phone so it will take me a little bit to type up. Or by all means you can call me an idiot again.

Either LBJ or pic related. I hate how all these pussy liberal art majors shit on him when he's literally the reason they're going to school. Liberals seem to hate him because of Vietnam and Jumbo, but he was by far the most liberal President we've had.

Machiavelli is the same way. He's remembered for his immoral statements in The Prince, but he trained the Florentine militia and was so dedicated to the Republic that the Medici had to torture him with the rack.

>>1528137
Indeed, but he made a detrimental mistake for not choosing a legitimate successor in time.Also, he is probably one of the greatest statesmen in modern history.

Hhahahhaha a big fucking nope. If anything it was much better under the Ustashe regime and German occupation. He just completely fucked us over and ruined us completely. Also the endless warcrimes that commie fuck committed.

>Quality-wise how good was the armed forces of the USSR in 1941?

Awful.

>I hear it often pointed out they had thousands of tanks, aircraft, millions of troops, etc, but how old was a lot of their equipment?

Like most European armies, a mix between stuff that was 1-3 years old and stuff that was mostly 5-20 years old. You had something like 3,000 t-34s from June to December on the front somewhere, which is more tanks than the Germans had.

The general problem with the Soviet army wasn't equipment, it was training and doctrine. Communication both within individual units and between them was awful. You had a lot of artillery, and pieces of pretty good quality, but the gunners were rarely trained in how to do things like spot what are good places to direct fire (That's a job for divisional HQ!), and a lot of them weren't paired with the trucks they did have, which were usually assigned to infantry units instead to make them advance better, but they weren't supposed to advance beyond the reach of their guns and rob themselves of their support anyway.

Their overall defensive plan relied primarily on a huge thick line right on the border, which means you

A) Get plastered by their air and artillery support right off the bat

B) Lots of your men get enveloped if the enemy makes a breakthrough somewhere and sickle-cuts around you, which is exactly what happened and how the Soviets took close to 4 MILLION losses in the first few months.

>I hear Naziboos claim that Barbarossa's successes were never in doubt because the USSR was trash in 1941 but how true was this?

If you're defining "Barbarossa succeeding" as operational and tactical successes from say June 22nd to the end of autumn in 41? Yeah, that's a pretty accurate statement. The Red Army was trash and going to lose against a modern opponent.

>With quality leadership at the helm would their training, equipment and logistics have been up to the task?

How are you defining "quality leadership"? They needed more than just good generals, they needed good junior officers, a chain of command that was willing to take risks and initiative, a sense of espirit de corps between the enlisted and the officers, and a fucking clue as to where to best allocate their transport mechanisms, even things like horses and mules, and a sense of strategy and knowledge that defense in depth seemed to be by far the best answer to the sort of attacks the Germans favored. They had none of that historically. And sure, "better leadership" could ameliorate some of it, but I doubt you'd get all of it, and that first punch would still rock the Soviets unless you completely change the entire character of their military, not only the forces themselves, but the culture in which those forces fought.

>>1526804
>With quality leadership at the helm would their training, equipment and logistics have been up to the task?
Well, yes, but that's basically another army, isn't it?
In any case Soviet problem wasn't equipment (it's not like Germans or Axis in general all had top-notch equipment), but exactly leadership and logistics.
They also dropped the idea of deep battle and concentrated forces they mobilized at the border, which led to their encirclement and destruction.
Add to this awful logistics, and reason why so many were captured and killed in 1941 is obvious.
Leadership was also awful, due to purges.

The First Chechen War and the Vietnam War always bum me out.

I can understand both sides motivations, and both sides got really, really fucked up.

Humankind

>>1529541
A spook is merely an abstraction that lacks actual reality in the phenomenal world. Just because a concept only exists in the minds of human beings doesn't mean it isn't useful for our purposes.

TLDR: I don't wanna be killed, so the law is a mutual agreement not to kill each other.

Because social/political/legal consequences still exist.

The universe doesn't care what you do but other people sure will.

>>1529560
But I want to kill you

Why is your will more important than mine?

>>1530754
I agree with you anon. You're not responsible for what other people feel.

No one's selfish for committing suicide. When it comes down to the very fundamentals, people can do whatever they want with their own lives, period.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is an entitled piece of shit.

>>1530754
>Is suicide selfish and are you an asshole if you do it?
no, it's at worst wasteful but even that's only if you're a productive person

Plenty of cultures have been completly destroyed. It's sad, but it's part of being a culture. You die.
