>While in 1983 Britain had 174 working mines, by 2009, the number had decreased to six. Poverty increased in former coal mining areas, and an EU study on deprivation in 1994 found that Grimethorpe in South Yorkshire was the poorest settlement in the country.
>In 2013, the UK consumed 60 million tons of coal, of which 50 million tons were imported.
Was the Thatcher government the biggest blunder in UK history?

Thatcher did what had to be done, if she didn't, the economy would have gotten fucked up even more.

How did they not make a profit if there was such a demand for coal?

Because they didn't contain an infinite amount of coal?

Who cares? Just give your life whatever meaning you want and slug it out for a few more decades. All things considered humans have mostly coped very well with a short and meaningless life, it could be worse.

Because he's was the generation that grew up with everything handed to him and that was surrounded by a military culture he loved to play with without experiencing it himself outside of bossing others around without a legitimate threat to face.
I have no idea how Otto V Must Unite The German Peoples Under One Flag wasn't taken as gospel and propped up for as long as he lived as elder council by anyone who recognized the master stroke of politics he pulled on Germany.

Irish beat vikings, fucked the picts, and it took the English hundreds of years to finally subjugate Ireland as a whole they might have officially lost, but Gaels were in high demand as mercenaries due to their skills as individual warriors. Excellent warriors, poor leadership besides based Brian Boru.

science still knows so little and cannot answer the "why" to things, so is being super objective just as much a belief when we don't know the full scale of the universe?

Fear and Trembling
Watch videos on Kierkegaard's Three Spheres if you prefer listening to the concepts.
Also, these movies took a lot of inspiration from Kierkegaard
