Here's an ALTERNATIVE HISTORY question, how much better or worse would Russia have performed militarily in WW2 if it was still under Tsar rule?

No, because Nicholas was just on a downhill. Give him 20 years Russia would have been stronk as fuck. 10/10 best leader

Why is it okay for Americans to carve George Washington into a mountain, but Russians having a statue of Lenin in every major city is not?

Mount Rushmore is not the only monument to American statesmen, it is only one of the most iconic. I'm sure if I went to America, I would find more local monuments that tell me to worship the dear leader.

Finland still has a statue of Lenin. Is there something wrong with having them?

Jews actually emulated the Anglos by the end of 19th century.

>controlling the banks, controlling the media, controlling the industry, pitting workers against one another, divide & conquer tactics, surreal levels of nepotism and elitism

All of these are originally memes about Anglos that got applied to Jews over time. Back in the day Jews weren't "shady elites ruling the world" but just "greedy Christ killers".

So /his/ i have been wondering are Ukrainians a meme? I have seen a lot of people claim they are Russians or that they are a mix of Poles,Tatars and Russians is there any truth to what they say or is it just nationalists spouting bullshit?

Ukraine LITERALLY means frontier/borderland.

It's actually pretty easy to explain. There was Kievan Rus full of East Slavic Ruthenians, which got essentially destroyed by the Mongols and then rebuilt from the ground up by the Muscovites, who got wealthy by being tax collectors for the Mongol khan. These people created the Tsardom of Russia and those Ruthenians who didn't adopt this new "Russian" identity gradually became the people we now know as Ukrainians and Belarusians.

It's real to them until you explain how retarded it is, at which point they'll happily exclaim how it was all just a metaphor all along and you're the dumb one for taking it seriously, just like they do with all the other stupid shit in religion.

Thank you for your profound theological analysis.

Are older generations too harsh on millennials? The common trope is that millennials are entitled and have unrealistic expectations for their own success, even when they grew up in a very different, and much less smooth sailing socioeconomic world than that of Baby Boomers.

Furthermore, millennials are facing a planet that is literally dying, with mass extinction, habitat loss and climate change threatening the survival of most life on the planet. On top of that, the status quo is arguably in a period of interregnum--defined as the phase in civilizational development when the old paradigms have lost credibility and have yet to be replaced by new ones.

Has there been an unspoken generational class war against millennials, who could, if adequetly empowered, transform the world that has been completely crashed by baby boomers?

So, in short, is the shit-talking about millennial substantiated, or should they be given a break?

I doubt any generation is satisfied with the succeeding generation simply because it's acting different than they used to. Millennials did nothing wrong

This. Every generation hacks the following. Millennials will do the same with whatever the next one gets labelled, complaining about their riding pennyfarthings around and walking their pet chinchillas on leashes, etc.

Because of where they live. You can't easily sustain a large population when half your country is mountains or frozen.
So they used to go out and raid and shit to get stuff whenever they got hungry or w/e. When that stopped being possible they went socialist to try to make the best use of their resources for the most people. Well after a few centuries of sucking and starving that is.

What happened to Mongolia after the fall of the Mongol Empire? It appears completely unmentioned by anybody after it's fall and from looking up video's of modern day Mongolia it seems to have just avoided all the bullshit that fucked up the rest of east Asia.

China got commie fucked, Japan went all Imperial and then went kawai, Vietnam keked the USA. But Mongolia is just kinda steppe bros with a biggish capital city who idolize Genghis Khan to an insane degree.

I'm by no means a pseudo-intellectual. My novel is nearing completion and the three chapters I sent out to prospective agents were received with great enthusiasm. After a brief contest between three competing agents I signed with one who immediately found a large publishers to sign my book, despite my informing him that I still have a few chapters to go. As you can imagine this has made my mommy very proud indeed, and any anxiety she might have otherwise experienced for allowing her little cherub to live with her for so long as been relieved and her decision vindicated. It's very entertaining indeed to see so many people on this board discussing their literary ambitions while simultaneously defending the demands made on us all by a corrupt and callous economic system. Having chosen to opt out of such a dystopian existence, my work has benefited from the amount of time I have been able to spend researching, writing and editing what will no-doubt be among next year's most recommended literary achievements. And what's more I have achieved this all at (what will be described as) the "tender age" of 24. I see no reason to sacrifice my existence for the sake of those who see only monetary value and the opportunity for personal gain in this world.

Has anyone properly overcome Nietzsche yet? Can he even be overcome? Can the labyrinth he set forth for the world be escaped?

So far it doesn't seem like it. Academics, analytics, and other unphilosophical people have tried, but don't seem to come close to even understanding him. And he himself foresaw the end of philosophy with his own; he knew that what he was bringing to the table was going to end in tragedy for philosophy.
