Why was LBJ so racist and very much a southern denocrat as a senator in the 1950s but then all of a sudden the biggest supporter of civil rights when he was president?

Sitting in the chair and shouldering responsibility for every American can change a man. As a senator you only have to represent a small tribalistic constituency fighting against others.

I have actualized a message about the human condition, and conceptualized a method to attain spiritual wellbeing. I will follow in anothers footsteps and first ask if you would like to hear this message.
If you would not want to hear it I will not share it. If you want to hear it I will speak to you.

How can philosophy continue to prattle on without a single shred of evidence? Help me out bros, am I the only one who can see through the moronic facade of "philosophy" and it's idiotic adherents? Souls? Forms? How about... proof?

Classical as in "before modernism" or "classicism"?
If it's the former, I would say Goya.

The Japanese fought almost to the last man in WWII in many cases. They saw death as better than cowardly surrender. So why did they end up surrendering instead of fighting nearly to the last man in an invasion of the home islands as happened in many other cases on other islands?

Because USA has to justify nuking japan by any means possible of course. To save lives. Don't be surprised if they decide to save even more lives with another nuke in the near future .

Could Iranians be called culturally-zoroastrian to this day?
They still celebrate many of its holidays and this seems to cause a lot of tension and suspicion between them and the rest of the Muslim world. During the Pahlavi days, a large emphasis on Iran's pre-islamic history was put into place, and even the IRI has been a bit more receptive to it the past few years.

When urbanized and secular, iranians seem to revert to a more zoroastrian existence, yeah. Maybe it's a reaction to the arab world and their distaste for it? Countryfolk are muslim as fuck, though, and the diaspora is just godless guidos desperate to be lumped with southern europe.
>>
Eh, not really. The spirit of the customs is dead, people just do it because Iranians love to celebrate anything and everything.
And the Shah was an autist who had virtually no understanding of his subjects or their desires; his focus on "muh roots nigga, 4000 yrs of monarchy we wuz kangs" nonsense alienated a ton of Iranians who were never known for their receptiveness to bread & games.

>And the Shah was an autist who had virtually no understanding of his subjects or their desires
I think he understood them alright, but realized, like Ataturk, that a country of backwards islamists wasn't gonna be a competitive one, so he tried to force a more secular and nationalist pride instead.
I feel like "the Shah was bad too!" is kinda the "muh states rights" of discussing Iran. It's making perfect the enemy of good.

Why does the aesthetic of the 1920s feel more modern than later decades? It seems like the 20s were very aesthetically modern for the time and then aesthetics became very conservative afterwards until the late 1960s. A modern looking ad like this wasn't seen after the 20s, 1930s to 60s ads just seem very conservative and old and basic. I thought ads were a good way to convey my point

I think that ads like the one in your photo and most media of the time were aimed at pretty much only the upper-middle class or in many cases just the upper-classes. The 1920s bourgeoisie and upper-classes were a lot more urbane and "progressive" than the working-classes and middle-classes of the post WWII-era. In the boom years after WWII, parts of society that would have previously lived hand-to-mouth and would have been illiterate or had very basic education began to have disposable income and an appetite for the consumption of information. The media just re-adjusted their approach to accommodate the culture of these classes.
You can sort of see a similar example in how the quality of television programmes and the assumed educational level of their viewers increases with every decade you go back in time. The reason being that poor people couldn't access TV back then.
P.S. It's not just the 1920s. The Roaring Twenties as they were called may have been particularly progressive but look at how high-brow and progressive the culture of the Belle Epoque was.

Daily reminder that Protestants are responsible for:
>Dividing the Western World and encouraging centuries of bloodshed against fellow Christians, distracting Christendom from its true enemies of militant atheism and Islam, instead of trying to reform the Church
>Witch burnings
>Editing the Bible at will due to their feelings to justify any of their actions
>Demonifying the Inquisition through the use of lies and propaganda
>The concept of Faith Alone, leading to cold, heartless, and degenerate societies who place no value on good works
>The concept of predestination, whereby none of your good acts on Earth matter and if you don't believe in their disgustingly heretical version of Christ called "Jaysus" you go to hell
>Keeping the American South a backwards shithole for more than two centuries in stark contrast to the much more developed and wealthy Catholic regions
>Contributing less to charity than Catholics and even some atheists, now and in the past
>Encouraging massive amounts of immigration from third-world countries and cultural Marxism (Sweden, UK, Denmark)
>Prohibition
>Westboro Baptist Church
>Creationism
>Belief in a young Earth
>Megachurches
>Being worse than Catholics, Jews, and Muslims when it comes to sexually abusing children
>Faith healing
>The anti-vaccination movement
etc.
