Post any interesting/crazy/weird/funny historical facts here.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson: friends, rivals, then friends again; 2nd and 3rd presidents of the United States respectively; two of the five members of the committee to draft the Declaration of Independence (which Jefferson wrote most of); generally considered two of the most important founding fathers, and the last two surviving.

Both died July 4th, 1826 of natural causes in their home states of Massachusetts and Virginia. It was the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America. Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson still survives" though Jefferson had actually died several hours earlier.

Hello. Can anyone recommend some good Christian speakers ? Preferably on Youtube or if they have a radio show maybe. I'm looking for Orthodox or Catholic speakers who are interesting and intellectual. Thank you.

How bad were the gulags, and why aren't they talked about as much as the nazi death camps?

You know what was worse than Nazi internment camps? Japanese camps on the Chinese mainland. No records were kept and the treatment was less humane than the way Nazis treated Jews. Tens of millions died.

I have no clue why no one ever talks about it. Lost to history.

>>1186085
>>1186100
The majority of post-war intellectuals in England and France (and most of the world, really) were vehemently left-leaning if not entirely communist in their mentality. Therefore, critiquing the USSR would've been counterproductive to their efforts. Mentioning the gulags would've also created a parralel to the Nazi death camps and therefore eroded any public sympathy due to the fact that the disgust for the German atrocities was at its freshest.

Because it doesn't concern us, western europe talks about jews getting killed, eastern europe talks about slavs getting killed, china talks about chinks getting killed.

I've recently become very interested in world history and the rise and fall of cultures/nations. Now in the middle of pic related, since it seemed like a good start for essential reading.

Any recommended other interesting book suggestions?

I've always felt that these kind of discussions always mention 'meme books'

Cuz whenever I see such a topic it are often the same books over and over again

Maybe some books are really good, but why bother reading them if everyone does? What possible novel insight can I get?

Not that it actually stops me from reading meme books...

And yeah this sounds like intellectual hipstery

You obviously have a political view, and are more interested in that view than what was done, in what context and for what imagined purposes. Why don't you try spinning your shit on >>>/pol/ instead of here?
