The real issue is that Americans think using tax-dollars to fund public transit is deadly socialism, and with a few exceptions, most major U.S. cities lacked the necessary legal power to fund and operate rail service until the oil crises of the 1970s made people reevaluate it.

Many electric railways died off without ever having been purchased by GM or National City Lines. That's not to say the auto industry and their lobbyists are innocent, but the issue is more complicated than what "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" would have you believe.

>Why was this allowed to happen?
Because rich people did it with money.

sure the monopoly interests of GM, Ford etc and their marketing propaganda of GM and Ford would say that cars were popular... popular in media and advertisements, yes.
the majority of the population could not afford cars.

>In the early 1900s, General Motors' long-time president, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., began implementing a plan to expand auto sales and maximize profits by eliminating streetcars.
>In 1922, Sloan established a special unit within GM that was charged with, among other things, the task of replacing the United States' electric railways with cars, trucks, and buses. Consumers who no longer had the option of taking the streetcar turned first to the bus lines and, eventually, to owning and driving their own automobiles.

no public transport because car companies bribed government officials in the 40s and 50s to plan cities without public transport.

public transport was sabotaged to steer the flock towards car/oil

Don't you mean 5.1-5.6 million?

It depends on who you count as a victim.

For example, if a German officer gets killed, and the Wehrmacht kills 100 civilians as a collective punishment, that's certainly an unlawful killing, but it wasn't racially motivated, and it wasn't in any kind of coordinated system.

I mean the extermination in the concentration camps.

Why are Europeans so much richer and better educated (by common standards) than North Africans and Middle Easterners?

FRANKLIN DINDU NUFFIN HE WAS A GOOD HE WAS A GOOD BOY


Fucking please, sure he did some good things but he also royally fucked up at times as well. The only reason he is revered is because he led us through the depression (and did a marginal job at that) and into one of the largest wars we have ever seen.

Besides he was a shadow compared to his brother.

>brother

>>1050113
They were distant cousins

Daily reminder that the Japanese banned European ships from entering Japan in the Sengoku period because Portuguese sailors slaughtered the samurai in duels

Because by and large, the Israelis have a modern "Western" military doctrine, where the military is geared for maximum external effectiveness.

Most of the Arab states, on the other hand, have rather large internal problems, and often deliberately hamper their militaries ability to function, because instilling such divisiveness prevents said military from staging a coup. However, there's a price to be paid when it comes to facing someone outside of the regime.

>State
You mean ZOG?

When was the last time Arabs won a war against non-Arab country, sometime in 8th century? And I mean Arabs, not Turks, Persians, Kurds or Berbers.

One thing is that the "civilization" they brought was entirely made for profit and for bringing or sending stuff to the metropole. They didn't care for the development of the african lands, they got there to take the resources and bring them back. They organized everything according to the metropole needs, not the local ones.
