Poverty,or as lefties like to call it progress

Why the fuck would you assume that people on 4chan are representative of a country's electorate?

It was basically just a cult of personality that appealed to the working class to stay in power after it seized power through force. There was some nationalism and anti-imperial sentiment, too, which played a big role.

>>My first course in philosophy was nothing less than a summary of the important systems of thought put forward in Western Europe during the last twenty-six hundred years. Perhaps that is a slight exaggeration--we did gloss over a few centuries in the Middle Ages. For the rest we touched upon all the historic names from Thales to Nietzsche. After about nine weeks of this bewildering transit a friend approached me with a sour look on his face. "You know," he said, "I can't make head or tail out of this business. I agree with each philosopher as we study him. But when we get to the next one, I agree with him too. Yet he generally says the other one was wrong. They can't all be right. Can they now?" I was too much puzzled with the same difficulty to help him.

What would happen if a nuclear power attacked another one with conventional means? Would the defending nation retaliate with nukes (which would mean they're gonna get nuked themselves) or would both sides limit themselves to conventional warfare? Kinda like how both sides refrained from using poison gas during WWII. In other words, is a full-blown conventional war between two or more states who have nuclear weapons possible?

They might refrain from using nuclear weapons at first, however when one side starts losing they will turn to the nuclear option. They might either threaten to use nukes to force a peace, or actually deploy them if that fails.
>>
>>1201377

The consequence would be the annihilation of the remaining territory of the losing side (and possibly also that of the occupied areas). This seems far worse than the consequences of losing a conventional war
>>
>>1201355
You're probably looking at another cold war scenario. I seriously doubt any world leaders today would have the balls/stupidity to use nukes even on the losing end of a war.

I guess it depends more on who you're talking about, really. Anything first world would probably not use them.

I want to learn anything and everything about the Cold War.

How it got started.
Who it involved.
How long it lasted.
What it was over.
And why exactly it is the closest humanity has ever come to extinction; and the entire myriad of circumstances that came together to prevent that from happening (which has been said to be tantamount to playing Russian roulette 13 times in a row and winning).

Where do I get started?

Extinction was never really plausible.

I think this is bait, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt OP.
When a nation has about 4 million citizens, 13 states, and a developing economy, 4300 words of law is likely sufficient.
However, when a nation has 300 million citizens, 50 states, and the largest economy in the world, I think an increase in legislation is reasonable.

I love the good ol' days just as much as any American, but laws adapt to the circumstances of the nation.

I'd argue it is to the contrary.
A small nation can easily enact more laws since their scope of operations is so limited, there are not that many people to regulate and consider.

However, the more complex a society, the hardest it is for the legislator to effectively and accurately identify the issues which ought to be legislated, and then to craft the appropriate legal instruments to regulate them. It is much better in this case to make the law as general as possible, and to rely on the general principles of law to guide the Judiciary in their procedures.

This is specially true when dealing with administrative issues regarding the economy, the difficulty to regulate an economy by law increases as the economy becomes more complex, to the point where any specific attempt would be necessarily short-sighted and counter-productive.
