Who is to blame for the atrocities comitted by Imperial Japan? Was emperor Hirohito Japanese Hitler? Or were things like Nanking and Unit 731 just the military acting on their own?
>>922483
why do you wish to blame somebody?
why do you wish to blame dead people ?
wht do you call blame ?
>>922489
Who is 'responsbile' then.
Blame wasn't the right word, as it implies a moral judgement.
Who was in control of the Japanese millitary.
>>922483
>Or were things like Nanking and Unit 731 just the military acting on their own?
Absolutely. Nobody outside the military had any real control over it at all. Their government was a really weird mess and the closest it ever came to operating like a normal unified state was near the end when everything was basically run by the supreme war council.
Did World War 1 cause the death of the American dream?
The American Dream is relative. It will always exist.

The American dream has always been a meme.
Which country that was once part of the British empire gave the empire the most grief in terms of rebellions, refusing to be part of the empire etc?
Probably curry or burger.
>>921433
The Irish without a doubt, they had so many rebellions I've lost count. Minus world wars, More British people have died in Ireland over the centuries trying to control the country than anything else.
india in terms of most rebellions, i think
Do you think morality is fucked in the age of industrialisation and nations and scale? People like George Bush or [world leader] are still popular even after they order the deaths of tonnes of innocents. Obviously I can write down my ethical rules and they'd be similar to yours and we'd probably agree that they're bad people. But morality is basically feels and, let's be srs, we lack the capability to empathise as much when events are so large scale and remote.
>>921151
I don't think you can separate the feels from a human. plus unless you think that we would do better in some sort of state of nature morality, excluding victimless crimes, has an important role in humans working together, ie living together in a society
>>921151
>Do you think morality is fucked in the age of industrialisation and nations and scale?
No, it just has to work with system
>george bush
>popular
Question /his/.
How did the "Holy" "Roman" "Empire" get it's name?
>>920889
>H>R>E memeshitters don't even know basic history
why am I not suprised
>>920889
Through the title of "Holy Roman Emperor" which is a continuation of the Western Roman emperorship granted by the Pope
The title itself was created before the HRE even came into existence
>>920903
this
its just a matter of claims. stirner probably hated the >h>r>e worse than voltaire did
Human rights are a social construction?
Yes. All rights are a social construction.
Unless we suppose there is some higher creator, yes.

Yes and so what
History and information on Christian Zionism and apocalyptic beliefs of Christians today and in the 20th century
>Christian Zionism is a belief among some Christians that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land, and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, is in accordance with Biblical prophecy. The term began to be used in the mid-20th century, superseding Christian Restorationism.[1][2]
Some of my relatives sent me a Jimmy Swaggart Study Bible. It is stuffed full of nutty commentary from Jimmy in red, apparently oblivious to how this can be seen in light of bibles that have the words of Jesus in red. If you wish I can quote some stuff from it. Just request a verse that you want to see his interpretation of.
Got anything for the verses presented in this comic?
>>920705
Ezekiel 38:18
Once again, this is the Battle of Armageddon. "My Fury shall come up in My Face," corresponds to the statement of Zechariah (Zech. 14:3)
Ezekiel 39:9
to think that something being burned "with fire seven years" allows us to know the extent of the destruction
39:10-11
No doubt, several millions of men are going to be killed in that which is know as "the Battle of Armageddon." Even employing modern equipment to hasten the burial of so many bodies, still, the stench will "stop the noses of the passengers."
39:12-13
The Lord links this spectacle to the sanctifying of His Name

Both.
I like the German Empire, and I think history would have been better if World War I hadn't happened. It's very sad that so many people died on both sides and many states disappeared afterwards, like the German Empire or the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Do you agree with me, or do you think that the II Reich was bad and World War I was necessary?
Nothing makes me happier than dead and suffering Germans, regardless of the era, location, or circumstances.
>>920606
LOL, you are just being ironic, right?
>>920606
Those before world war 1 are generally fine, it's when the rest of Europe wanted to play it peaceful and the Germans didn't I start to hate them.
Violence creates dead people. Dead people are weaker than any living person. The most violent and powerful empires in the history of the world are now nothing but a memory/legacy if they no longer exist.
>>920568
What's your point?
Better thread topic:
Was Roman patriotism functionally different from nationalism?
>>920568
So, you're saying the most powerful empires of the past are weak?
Gunpowder was never invented?

Go read guns, germs, and steel.
War would be a lot more fun.

Why did the Stalin allied with Hitler in 1939? And how was the relation of Stalin with the western democracies in those times?
>>919756
she's a real qt
>>919756
Before that, Stalin tried to get on the good side of western powers, but came across as a twisted fucking psychopath so they didnt like him
then he allied with Hitler because they both wanted Poland, but Stalin deep down didnt trust Hitler.
The war might have been very different if it werent for fucking norway and sweden. While Stalin still was on team Hitler, he invaded Finland, and England and France were actually planning on sending help, but Norway and Sweden used their neutrality to deny them path, so Finland was on its own.
Hitler invaded Denmark and then Norway when he heard of this plan to make sure they wouldnt get a good position above them. Then Hitler turned on Stalin because reasons, forcing him into the arms of the allies
sorry about tangent
>>919756
Stalin was well aware that Hitler wanted to destroy the USSR (public knowledge, since he said as much in Mein Kampf) and extend his make-believe empire all the way to the borders of Imperial Japan (unofficially aligned with Germany and also wanting to cut into the USSR), so he attempted to rally Europe and America around opposition to Germany. European "leaders", especially Churchill, didn't like Hitler but they in fact knew that Hitler was going to invade the USSR and that's what they wanted him to do, while the USA was in full isolationist ideology mode after the shitfest of WWI. Completely isolated and knowing that the USSR was not ready to face war, certainly not on two fronts, Stalin took the only means of action available and agreed to a //non-aggression treaty//, which is not an //alliance//, with the Nazis and a peace treaty with Japan in 1941.
What was his fucking problem?

Had to compensate for being the ruler of a non-country.
Why did the United States choose not to resettle its population of blacks in Africa or South America?
>>918851
They did.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberia
>>918858
But im talking about the entire population after their value disappeared after the civil war
>>918891
There were states where slavery was already outlawed before the civil law. The government couldn't relocate black citizens any more than it could relocate any other citizens.
Some went on to be valued tax-payers like those of the Greenwood District, so it's not like the government would oppose their continued presence.
And blacks were still as valuable in the work force as poor whites. They just used to be more valuable because you didn't have to entice them to work for you. Now they had the right to be compensated for their work and could change employers as they saw fit.
How the hell did France successfully repel so many foreign invasions while going through a fucking civil war?
>>918751
That's Map is written in Ukrainian, not Russian.
Conscription.
Motivation. (They used to fled at the first cavalry charge they encountered, but they were getting stronger and stronger with the time)
>>918751
Nothing consolidates a nation so much as good old foreign invasion.
