Because to Italians back then used to corruption and inefficiency, a sight like that would be very welcome. Plus the fact that this was before this aesthetic was reappropriated for comic book and movie supervillains, so it wouldn't have carried such connotations.

>Part 1
In China's case, their feudal aristocracy got BTFO when the Empire was established and the meritocratic aristocracy took its place.

That said, when China had feudal nobles prior the Imperial Age, the closest equivalent of a feudal coat of arms would be the character of the name of your state/duchy/march/county

Which makes sense: it's already a logographic Character system. Although State Names were in Seal-Script. That was in Ancient China.

Pic related: the State of Qin. Shit would be on the King's Seal: the primary symbol of state authority. Chinese flags tend to be mere signalling devices.

>Part 2
During the Empire, the only heraldic symbol remaining was the Dragon, and was associated with just one guy, the last Chinese nobleman: the Emperor and his ilk.

By the late Imperial Age (1000 AD-1911 AD), it got formalized. The Emperor's dragon is to have five claws. His immediate relatives will have 4 claws, while the res can use 3 claws. Drawing a five clawed dragon for yourself is an act of sedition funnily enough.

This is the reason why non Chinese dragons like Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese/Bhutanese ones never use five fingered dragons. It's like copying the US Flag.

Everyone who read Marx say "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles" and took it to be literal truth and acted on it.

Hitler going to war with both the Allies and Soviet Russia.

If he had picked either of them, chances are the other would have joined him

It's really hard to filter out the anti-war propaganda horseshit from most of them, but I guess Platoon.

I dont think the black panthers where very violent, but the bloods and crips have done some horrible shit

The feds really did a number on the black panthers

>>832739
At least historically, yes. The black panther party was a Marxist subversive hate-group comparable to the KKK of the era, and was dismembered appropriately by the dubiously ethical but very effective FBI's Counter Intelligence program.

>>832752
Didn't panthers almost exclusively attack police though? Do police count as noncombatants? Considering the stuff that was happening at the time, it's kinda hard to say they weren't.

On top of that, hateful as they were, their hatred was completely different form that of the KKK. They aren't just black people in hoods (well, not that kind of hood) tying little white boys to crosses and burning them. In recent history the hatred of blacks has been proactive (where white people claim to be superior), wheras the hatred of white people by minorities has been reactive (in response to an atrocity or affront of some sort).

>>832574
Do you mean "meme" in the sense that that word usually has on 4chan, i.e., "popular on the Internet"? Because that doesn't seem to be the case.

His reading of Kant is pretty interesting.

I'd say he's more of a journalist than a philosopher as such though.

I've gotten replies to emails to him asking for book recommendations etc, and he's always been gracious and polite.

China had a bunch of innovations that weren't present in the early Middle Ages, for example in the 5th century BCE they already had muh cast iron

9th century Europe for muh Ulfberht swords

13th century for muh full suits of steel

No time at all, the only knowledge actually lost with the fall of the Roman empire was stuff too expensive and large-scale for the smaller successor states to keep doing, like the roman roads.

Can you explain how the shroud was made?

I'll share first: I don't think he was wrong for getting on a lifeboat. I think he was wrong for claiming for afterward saying that everything was calm, when multiple eyewitness accounts suggest it was not at this point--that this was a boat where crewmen had to fire warning shots into the air, and passengers were trying to rush the boat in a fit of panic. He was wrong for signing off on the White Star Line policies for charging the families of dead crew members whose bodies were retrieved from the ocean. He was wrong for signing off on the reduction of the lifeboats from 32 to 20 because it made the 'first class deck look cluttered.'

I don't suppose we'll ever know the entire truth, though. Were there really no women or children around, despite 1500+ people still being left on the ship, including hundreds of women and dozens of children? Or was this something created in survivor memories afterward, to help justify their own survival? Did people rush and panic, as some eyewitnesses say, or was there no rush and calm, as Ismay said? After all right after launching this boat, crew members had to form a protective linked arm circle around the next launched boat so that women and children could get through first because of the great crush of people panicking on deck.

hey at least he didn´t crossdressed to get in a boat

>>831954
To be fair, he didn't crossdress to get in the boat. He jumped into the boat along with a group of other men. Officers then arrived with a group of male and female 3rd class passengers and ordered the men out so they could get the women in, then fired shots into the air and warned them since a few weren't moving. All of the men but Buckley started to climb out. From his inquiry:

>I was crying. There was a woman in the boat, and she had thrown her shawl over me, and she told me to stay in there. I believe she was Mrs. Astor. Then they did not see me, and the boat was lowered down into the water, and we rowed away out from the steamer.
