What's so BS about it?

What do you mean non-bs?

guns, germs and steel shows how white people once again screwed over the rest of the world pretty well. for their own gain.

>reading a book on "what if's" pertaining to the most backwards civilization on the planet

Might as well read the man in the high castle as well and pass it off as truth.

Chernobyl was an experimental reactor whose primary purpose was to generate weapons grade plutonium.

>>930801
Nuclear plant was placed near the Duga radar, the importance of which to the soviet Air defense was great. That's the only possible reason.
The reactor construction was pretty usual.

>The reactor construction was pretty usual.
No, the reactor construction was absolutely not usual. Chernobyl reactors were a special design using graphite modulators, and geared toward creating weapons grade plutonium. The meltdown could not have happened with a usual nuclear reactor of the era.

thats impossible to say, faggot

Even with Nobunaga so close to conquering Japan before he was backstabbed we have no way of knowing what he would have done after he did so.

Even less so with other great clans since they rarely showed that much foresight, and its even more silly to assume that the heirs of the current ruler would take a unified country in the same direction as their predecessor.

Ah yes, who could forget the great clan of Portugal.

Shimazu would've instantly made japan into what the meiji empire was. Seeing as the satsuma province was where the emperor gained most of his support. And most of the high ranking imperial officers in the Bõshin War were shimazu samurai

>It's a "Everything that is ever depicted in media is intended to glorify it, and this is inherently bad" thread

>>>/pol/

>>929946
I never said that nor I am promoting /pol/ cause. I know media always has a direction, but some are blatantly used to promote propaganda, a government agenda.

>>929907

any movie made with the express collaboration of the armed forces is propaganda, since they won't collaborate unless the message is reasonably pro military and nationalistic. the US armed forces are famed for this, but i suspect any armed services whose tanks n' shit have been asked for by a production company will be equally keen to see a script and veto any anti-military and/or subversive messages before allowing collaboration. the only exception i can think of offhand was the phillipines and their collaboration on apocalypse now.

even supposedly subversive and harrowing portrayals of war never really question the assumption that "we" are the good guys, it's only ever really down to the good guys fucking up or a few bad apples that bad things happen because of us.

9th company was a good russian example. they could have taken on board the shaky cam realism hollywood had infused it's propaganda with, though. the battle scenes were kinda shit imho.

September Massacres.

This again?

Some people say... Dan Carlin... is not a real HISTORIAN. I want you to think about that for a minute folks.

Define negative

According to the standards of modern western sensibilities, old fashioned western sensibilities, or cherokee sensibilities?

In all cases they seem to be based af with thier fashion sense desu

There's nothing to comprehend there. Academic philosophers want tenure. They don't produce anything and seek to suck the wealth out of the more productive members of society via public jobs. They need to write in an obscure fashion in order to hide from society the paucity and vacuousness of their ideas, otherwise society might begin to question why do we pay them a salary int he first place, instead of having them do something more useful and dignified such as flipping burguers or lifting and carrying stones.

It was actually a coalition of Babylonian and Median armies that toppled the Assyrians.

Too oppressive, extremely heavy handed policies even by the general standards of the Near East at the time. Uprisings, rebellions, and revolts were a constant thing across the territories and provinces of their empire that continued to strain their manpower.
