Hey /his/torians.

I know this seems like a really dumb question for someone who found themselves on /his/ to ask, but I was wondering if anyone could explain the background to the Tank Man photo? More specifically, the Tianamen Square protests. I've read about it, on Wikipedia and what-not, but never really understood it other than it was a protest by college students against political repression in China.

Thanks.

Here's a quick summary:
>Communist Party lets blacks from Africa attend Chinese Universities to bolster Sino-African relations
>Chinese college students hate blacks and protest
>Protests spread to the point that students convene in the capital to complain
>Government offers concessions, but students are too drunk on power to stop now
>Government sends in tanks
>Jerk walks in front of the tanks. The tanks try to drive around him. He keeps on walking in front of them to force them to keep on turning.

I think there was a bit more to the student protest than racism. Let's talk about the rest of the agenda, and the hunger strikes that led up to the demonstration.

From what I understand, which isn't much.

>China has been gradually reforming since the Mao era
>USSR begins to collapse
>Chinese students, and other middle class people begin to wonder whether they can also experiment with democracy
>the answer is no

I hate the fucking website.

The mods are so goddamn ban happy and think their power on an obscure message board no one cares about actually means anything.

If you support any form of government besides western liberal democracy you get banned.

This is a more petty complaint but I get the feeling that the median age there is a lot higher than in most places on the internet and they're more or less stuck in 2005..

Parliamentarism is just what Plato called oligarchy. It's the revolution of the wealthy nobles and the merchant class against the monarch, and since not one of them can rule alone they resort to parliamentarism.

But then doesn't that just eventually culminate in destroying yourself? Even if you don't subscribe to said abstract entity, it's already still infected your mind if you understand it well enough to want to destroy it.

I've been considering learning an ancient language recently. Any recomendations which I should study? Any tips for learning a dead language?
20 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
You're going to have a fucking terrible time finding english-based learning materials for anything other than Latin or Ancient Greek

My first tip is that you should make sure you really want to spend all that time and effort learning something that you won't be using at all. You could be basically fluent in Spanish in like 6-8 months if you work at it and it'll look amazing on your resume (assuming you're American). That amount of time is what it takes just to get started on something dead.
>>
Well Latin and ancient Greek would be the obvious go-to's.

Less common but still widespread would be Syriac or old Persian.

If you wanna go really obscure you could learn old Armenian or Coptic.

I've seen books in libraries for every one of these languages so you might have to drive a little to get to a library that has it but there should be enough resources to get started.
>>
It's very, very common that methods for ancient languages other than Latin assume that you already know some Latin.

>Greek lesson number 6: Genetive Absolute. Explanation: It works the same as Latin Ablative Absolute.

Start with Latin op.

I'm taking someone that did me wrong to court. He will be spending a long time in jail without a doubt for a felony warrant. The problem is I don't want him to have the chance to get revenge by finding me. Will the court or attorneys give him any of my personal information/address to find me? I know the police report has my address.

Why people believe in thousand years old prophet word, but when modern guy tells everyone that he is prophet of God, they say that he is crazy one?! Isn't that hypocritical at best and insane at worst?

Playing hypotheticals with religion and spirituality is just a waste of time.
>>
One has stood the test of time, at least.

Also, if I were religious, I wouldn't trust that modern religious scholars were competent to determine whether a self-proclaimed prophet was the real deal or not. Theological training these days is a joke. Evangelical Protestants are having a big fight right now over the Trinity. The fucking TRINITY.
