Meme warriors. I really despise Edo period, and 19th century romanticists who are solely responsible for this ''le ultimate fight3r'' bullshit. Reminder that everyone on the pic got rekt by peasants at some point. Also reminder some medieval weapons originated from peasants which means they were the ultimate warriors and unsung heroes.

Getting rekt by a peasant horde "at some point" in history does not equal peasant being more able warrior than say, a knight.

Did you know that landfills contain and are starting to contain a considering amount of precious metals, such as gold and copper?
There are plans that in the near future we will be mining landfills for those metals because
it would be more probable to find them there rather than in "traditional mines".

This is obviously because of our reckless consumption of electronic devices.
We have never really created a good recycling system for cellphones, computers, digiboxes etc etc. Wether the reason for that is the rapid growth of technology without good creation of recycle system for it or just not giving a shit about the waste, doesn't matter. Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing pollution/waste in the world.

So, maybe we've found a solution, our greed, is pushing us to dig those tiny bits of precious metals from the old iPads we've thrown away because it's cheaper to get a new one than fix it.
The juicy part comes here and it is my prediction;
In near future, some western mining company will go to third world countries and buy the land where the landfills are on and proceed to mine there.
Of course, in those unfortunate parts of the world, the most unfortunate people have been living on these landfills for generations.
Living at the bottom of this planet, on top of a fortune, and they'll be thrown out of the last habitable urban area.

Can we discuss about this?
And general talk about the hopeless situation of this planet, greed, disgusting human behavior. Post something more juicy.

Here is another video about landfill mining.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7s5PL6A_-g

Now I know people here might think this is not a /his/ issue.
I'm not here to talk about the mining industry or energy and so on.
I want to talk about how badly could we treat people. What more can we do to make someones life more worse than it already is.
The first thing I thought about when someone told me about this "future of gold mining" was those people living on top of the mountains of waste, being pushed off for the profits of others.
It made me laugh, laugh at my complete lack of hope for the humanity, and human race.

There is not enough talk about this on /his/
Usually it somehow always tends to go like this;
>white people did alot of bad stuff
>not all bad stuff is because of white people
>we wuz kings
>racism
>capitalism
and general trolling and you know, the usual 4chan stuff.
I just want to talk about the worse of the worst.
The future that is not bright, the realist future!

what was the reason why south korea and taiwan developed so quickly? they got on the economic development train and are now so different from other post-colonial states around the world.

State capitalism. Seriously, look it up. Planned economy that originally serves for the accumulation of capital through simple manual work achieved by underpaid unskilled workers. When you have enough capital you invest it into something profitable like technologies and electronics, as the profit goes up your wages grow gradually and your workers become more skilled. In the end you have high-tech society like Japan.

China is currently going through the same phase. That means you better say goodbye to made in china low quality shit and say hello to high QUALITY merchandise.

>Why are they so important? Who do you support?
They were a rare case of a longstanding feud that lasted up until the early 20th century, that was perpetuated for ultimately small transgressions and built itself up from there.
>>
>>1459937

They aren't important. Just two families of bumfuck hillbillies taking their right to bare arms and their feud far too seriously and as a result got woven into the American frontier legend as shining examples of the time. I guess it's what happens when your nation's history is short compared to most.
>>
because they never had any real civil unrest (excluding the civil war but that's already their only real war that actually happened on their backyard so it doesn't count for that) so they have to over-romanticize every hick's neighborhood quarrel like it's a goddamn civil war

What was the Marshall Plan? How did it affect the countries which it applied to? Was it a positive or negative thing?

Could a similar scheme be put in place today to help eastern European countries recover from communism?

It was food aid and development given to a wide array of countries by the U.S. after the end of WWII. In countries like the UK, France, and Germany, it's often credited with helping speed up the post war economic recovery and promote stability in the existing power structures of Europe. There was a great fear that if the U.S. did nothing, that communist/fascist sympathies would flare up again and overtake the entirety of Europe.

For most countries, it was seen as a fairly positive thing, and it built a lot of good will between the U.S. and European governments that exists to this day.

Behold, the man who destroyed the USA

Ignoring all the memes, what is the real reason behind the German desire to destroy Europe? After causing the two world wars that broke Europe's back as a collection of global powers and now being at the forefront of Europe's decline through mass migration, there must be something uncanny about the German conciousness that drives them to such atrocious deeds.

Germans do not have the capacity to learn anything besides war, hate and greed.

It's probably a matter of biology much more than history, but I would wager that the reason is their own brains. And as such to prevent a war on the scale of WW2 ever again the total genocide of the German race is the preferable utilitarian option.

Kyrgyz are Turkic, while Iranians and Iraqis are not and have no Mongol influence. Hence they have quite different features. Not sure what's so hard to understand

>Turkic
is a language group, not ethnical/genetic
>>
>>1459513
The Turkic peoples are a collection of ethnic groups that live in central, eastern, northern, and western Asia as well as parts of eastern Europe. They speak languages belonging to the Turkic language family. They share, to varying degrees, certain cultural traits and historical backgrounds. The term Turkic represents a broad ethno-linguistic group of peoples including existing societies such as Altai, Azerbaijanis, Balkars, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Crimean Karaites, Gagauz, Karachays, Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Khakas, Krymchaks, Kyrgyz people, Nogais, Qashqai, Tatars, Turkmens, Turks, Tuvans, Uyghurs, Uzbeks, and Yakuts

Human rights are a great idea to be honest, they just need to be basically much more minimal.

I'd say that the basic human right is to not be the victim of violence unless there are extreme circumstances. That's not much, but it's important.

The problem with the extended human rights is the classic leftist problem of death denial. It basically amounts to "you have the right to not die". Well if that's true, I guess God is a massive war criminal.

It was the nail in the coffin of a regime, that thought slavery farming and murdering people that seemed not to be "true Cambodian communists" or spies seemed like a wonderful idea.
Mixed opinions on the next regime as it was a puppet state, but atleast it was not as openly violent as Pol Pots regime.
