Is Hofstadter correct that there is a "paranoid style in American politics"? Don't most countries have this kind of politics or is just America that attaches conspiracy theories to almost everything? Is it necessarily even a bad thing?

>I choose American history to illustrate the paranoid style only because I happen to be an Americanist, and it is for me a choice of convenience. But the phenomenon is no more limited to American experience than it is to our contemporaries. Notions about an all-embracing conspiracy on the part of Jesuits or Freemasons, international capitalists, international Jews, or Communists are familiar phenomena in many countries throughout modern history. One need only think of the response to President Kennedy's assassination in Europe to be reminded that Americans have no monopoly of the gift for paranoid improvisation.

The guy most likely to become our next president spent years claiming that our president was actually a Kenyan because he's black. People actually believed his absurd and nonsensical conspiracy theory for some reason, and still respect him. Burgers in general are paranoid morons who follow fearmongering idiots.

But he is half-Kenyan, his Dad was a Kenyan government official. Unless you are implying his real dad is Frank Marshall Davis...

That's the point.

I have a question to ask about abortion.

I've heard that Catholics think that unborn babies go to hell or at least purgatory because they weren't baptised.

However, I've heard protestants say that unborn babies go to heaven regardless because they are free of sin and which is why they have adult baptisms.

However, if Catholics are right, then it means that God is a ripe bastard and damns unborn babies to hell for no fault of their own.

If protestants are right, then it means we should abort as many babies as possible so that they don't grow up to be degenerates and have the chance of going to hell when they were guaranteed a path to heaven as a dead baby.

I mean who is right... Or does god just say try again baby and try to get born again through reincarnation which means abortion isn't as bad as many make it out to be.

I think most Catholic theologians today would say they (probably) go to heaven. But some theologians historically have argued they go to hell or limbo, which is really neither. Limbo is no longer considered a valid theory so its not in the picture anymore.
>>
>>1133270
Unborn would go to heaven due to having committed no personal sins against God. The unborn would fall under something similar to invincible ignorance for pagans. pagans can be saved if they were never shown the Word and lived moral lives by God's standards. Not sure why that wouldn't apply to fetuses.

I come from /agdg/, looking for an idea for a game. I don't know what kind of game, what characters or what. I tend to seek out inspiration before I structure out the dev process.

So, what aspect of history and humanities do you think is a little under-rated, that might be worth looking into for amateur gamedev? Setting, city, time period, the story behind some specific building or work or dynasty?

Really vague I know! But maybe something comes to mind?

I've always wanted to see some kind of either strategy game or RPG or maybe some kind of hybrid game where you run a mercenary group in the Italian wars.

Your goal would be to amass money and notoriety, and who cares who wins in Italy as long as you make out well.

I'm not well versed on the subject and there seems to be a lot of conflicting accounts of what led to the destruction of "black wall street".
Was all of it because of the girl in the elevator and the alleged assault, or was it jealousy for the perceived prosperity the blacks were enjoying in spite of segregation?
also, did the blacks make it worse by fighting back?

Where did the Yamato and others come from /his/?

My guess is they came from here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_(state)

>b-but they're Korean
Koreans look completely different to Japanese most of the time, Japanese gene pool is definitely from somewhere else

So far I got:

Yamato - Wu, eventually some Baekje refugees
Izumo - Shilla??
Kumaso/ Hi - Emishi???
Chikushi - Gaya???
Kenu - ???
Koshi - ???

Never understood why the Wa claimed Taibo and Shaokang as their ancestors. The dearth of archaeological,genetic and linguistic evidence makes it highly unlikely that Japonic originated in southern Jiangsu.

>Yayoi most likely came from Korea.
If toponym glosses are to be trusted then Jin/Sam Han may have been populated by Japonic speakers.

Genetic affinity of Koreans/Japanese(especially southwestern Korea).

Koreanic loanwords,shared mythology,technological diffusion etc.(http://www.academia.edu/9192084/Korean_Contributions_to_Japanese_State_Formation_As_Seen_in_the_Mortuary_Record_from_300_B.C._to_700_A.D)
