They had it coming.

I'm pretty sure Tatiana (far right) was the result of the Empress cucking Nicky with some Asiatic Russian soldier.

Account of their deaths from Netrebin

>The family of Citizen Romanov went into the room and arranged itself across the wall then we entered. Nicholas stood in front of Alexei. As I looked over my comrades' shoulders, I saw Alexei, sickly looking and waxy, watching with wide, curious eyes as he followed our movements. I suddenly thought how very short his sad life had been, and I silently prayed we would all be good shots.

>The shooting was complete chaos. Vyrubova [sic] tried to protect herself with the pillows. After the first shots, I saw Alexei frozen in his chair, and his ashen face was covered with his father's blood as he sat there, unmoving in terror. One of the younger daughters died when she was shot in the back. Comrade Ermakov finished off a daughter by stabbing her in the chest over and over, and I remember Comrade Yurovsky shooting Tatiana in front of me; her head seemed to explode in a shower of blood and brains. The scene was sickening: the room was chaos, with blood and body fluids and brains all over the floor, and several comrades got sick at the sight.

How do you quantify "advancement"?

>>1419387
Not very. They were advanced considering how isolated from the rest of world they were though

Brilliant simile

Well I'm sure 4chan will clear that right up.

Pick two

The end of the golden age of capitalism. Scarcity became a problem. People started to become alienated, completely detached from society.

Leaded gasoline. I'm serious, look it up. That explains the crime bump from 1960-1995. There was a similar bump from about 1890 to 1940, from lead paint.

>>1439019

I guess we're in a new golden age now then, since that crime trend is over.

It was an important part of growing up

>OP mad he missed out on free boipucci

>>1430662
I'm curious about this myself. Why were they so interested in boypussy way back when?

I mean, a girl is a girl. She has a vagina, much like the ostensible wife a rich old dude of status had.

But why ignore that and go to little boys? It's not really for any archaic or symbolic "brotherhood" if you're making him take the "female/sub" position.

What's the purpose of this? "Boohoo Churchill was literally Hitler those white cismales are so mean!"

It's funny at the start, but then it just turns into pure butthurt nazibooism.

I genuinely believe that STEM can be reconciled with the humanities once again if only they could unshackle themselves from their instrumentalist past

It's become a bit of a common thing to point out recently but genuinely, this animosity between science and humanities is recent. Earlier in the 20th and 19th century they had become more separated but while they didn't mingle that much due to the differences in their fields, they were still academics.

Honestly I think this modern trend has to do with two things. First being our overwhelming focus on the financial repercussions of getting a degree, which has a lot to do with the rising cost of college and the economic breakdown in the 00's. STEM is going to pay more on average and if most students and professionals consider that the bottom line those are the "best" degrees, with everything else being a waste of time.

And of course the new atheism movement. No joke people like Krauss and Tyson have done a lot to popularize this weird dichotomy and since the community as a whole already worships 'Science and Reason' they're all too eager to throw out anything that isn't approved by the horseman. Even Dennett seems to love phrasing philosophical problems in the most reductionist and sterile way possible.

>>1436576
but he's right. the hard problem challenges science it answer a big why? question. As to the hows that gets clearer every day as we figure out more about how the brain works

by the way, I was a liberal arts major stop pretending that all liberal arts majors subscribe to your way of thinking

No edgy genocide in WWI.

Where are you? its covered loads here in the UK.

It's a lot less galvanizing.

WW2 was a clash of ideology and civilization where the whole world hung in the balance. There were larger than life figures on both sides. Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt.

WW1 was a regional dispute over the balance of power in Europe that spun out of control due to somewhat convoluted geopolitical considerations into what many would describe as a slogging, senseless war with no real winners, no grand victory for anyone, no grand ideological implications and was concluded with an unsatisfying peace. It's also colored in our perception by the many many books, poems, paintings, movies which characterize the conflict as this very dark, brooding, nihilistic struggle of man vs. machine. Wheras WW2 is painting as a heroic glorious struggle for peace & freedom & victory.
