why they need 7 nerds to shoot one stylish communist?

Butt hurt southerners didn't like "total war" ala WWI.

Sucks to be them. He kicked ass.

He does have a giant 30 foot statue in Washington DC though.

Sherman did nothing wrong.

His contemporaries thought he was legitimately insane when he predicted the Civil War would have an enormous cost of blood and would drag on for years.

He was so universally maligned that he basically had a mental breakdown.

His brand of total war was the only way to bring it to a close. He understood the nature of the war better than anyone and prosecuted it with a ruthlessness that is entirely above historical contempt.

It's not something you talk into somebody. I would seriously just recommend reading and reflection in lieu of asking an imageboard. Training the mental faculties is far more fun than arguing.
4chan to me is more of a leisure, not a place where I look for serious thought, even if something profound might pop up every now and then.

just belive in yourself

:D

I really don't understand where this 'Chinese can't invent' shit comes from. The Chinese invented the compass, paper, paper money, printing, and gunpowder, the first modern-style bureaucracy, and a lot of other shit. Have you ever considered that the Chinese simply didn't want to colonize the Americas because they thought life was fine in China and they weren't as obsessed with gold as the je- I mean Spaniards and Anglos? And I don't see how you can claim that the West has a stronger society when China has a longer history of continuous civilization, and is able to preserve traditions and norms with much higher fidelity.

>But China has always had a lack of innovation, they just steal technology from other people and don't even copy it as well or improve upon it

What the hell is this meme history? You do realize history lasts a lot longer than just whatever you read about on the news? Replace literally every mention of "China" with "People's Republic of China" and you might have a theory, but a theory that's would be always subject to change as it's a rapidly changing nation.

Never, ever make the mistake of assuming things will stay the same. Taiwan and Japan were known for extremely shitty quality in the past and Japan especially was slammed by "lel no innovation" accusations for decades by jealous Western companies who couldn't understand how yellow monkeys could make good products.

>>959830
My amateur theory is that China started off with too good of a position. They conquered their corner of the world and became a civilizational hegemony to such an extent that I don't think you can find another historical instance of one cultural group being so dominant so consistently in their region.

So China had no reason to expand, they were already kings in their own little sphere and even the common folk got along fine enough with what was already conquered.

We have the benefit of hindsight though to realize China wasn't as supreme as it thought itself to be.

It's mob rule and always turns into despotism.

Democracy is retarded and a bad idea.

Considering how stupid most people are and how easily people get duped by the media, it's a very bad idea.

Some erotic art. One of their most popular memes was having a young woman (usually busty too) getting fondled by an old man god and animals like deer, rabbit, mosquitos etc.

What is the benefit?

If I replace my right arm it would be fucking weird and I replace my left arm I could no longer fap

Only if it was more functional and didn't come with dealbreakers like:
-no neural feedback
-having to constantly chug anti-immune drugs
-having to constantly fix/buy shit for that arm

I'd plop my brain in a jar as soon as the tech is there.

>>944971
yeah, that's ultimately what it comes down to. if it offers a distinct and obvious advantage without heinous drawbacks, I see no reason not to improve the human body. right now, and for the foreseeable future, the technology just isn't there to make it worthwhile.

Did anyone say Mongols?

>>966670
The gupta were destroyed in there fight against the "Huns" if I am not mistaken. Aren't they also responsible for alot of the mathematical advances that came from India.

>>966676
pls stop

>>966688
Well apparently the pressures from the Sveta Huna(Hepathlites who may have been Avars instead of the huns) caused their downfall, but the name Huna and Hun are too cognate to be anything but some distant cousin of the Hun. But the records show that the last Huna Emperor to threaten the Guptas was Mihirakula, who was in turn totally defeated by the then Gupta Emperor Narasimhagupta.

But I doubt destroyed is the correct word, the empire collapsed and the descendants of the Kushans and the Western Kshatrapas, mainly old Iranic nomads who had moved into india and the Indus Valley were now civilized and became the Gurjaras and Pratiharas, they also had a massive hand in the disintegration of the Guptas and the eventual fall.
