In my opinion Irish should have fought on.
Or at least declare war during ww2, british occupation of north is still very hippocritical

Arguments for Treaty
>Only reason we've been successful against British forces is because they've treated us as an insurgency, so they only sent their army. If we don't sign they'll treat us as a rogue state, send their full airforce and navy to assist the fight, and deal with us the same way they dealt with Germany.
>The Scottish population of Ulster doesn't want to join us, and they have no plans of evacuating the land their ancestors conquered.
>"Canada-status" will only last 2 decades
>got best treaty possible since de Valera, Ireland's best negotiator, decided to sit home since "Ireland's President doesn't travel abroad for negotiating" (ie. didn't wanna be the one bringing the bad news home)

Anti-Treaty
>Have to pay off massive amount of UK debt
>all members of the Oireachtas still have to swear allegiance to King
>Royal Navy still allowed to control 3 vital ports in our country
>Irish people are lazy, and if we don't win the war now, we'll never get around to finishing reunification of the island later

Probably still Pro-Treaty since Ireland wouldn't stand a chance in actual all-out war, let alone be able to militarily conquer the North without losing the moral high-ground and sympathy of the world.

It's philosophy numb nuts

Where does consciousness arise?

You don't sleep, you don't eat, you walk, you run, you crawl, you get treated like shit and pushed beyond your limits until you become a new man. You're also taught French.

French soldier here, if you have more specific questions.

When's the part where they ram a broomstick up your ass as an initiation ritual?

>>776693
I need all the specifics you can give me, monseiur. I heard they make you run 20 miles in 100F heat and make you eat raw animals that you kill yourself. Any of that true? Is there more?

>>776683
What about the Korean war?

Was Operation Uphold Democracy really that bad?

>>776683
>korean war
>first gulf war
>intervention against IS

He is just as divine as his current counterpart, the pope. After all, both share the title Pontifex Maximus.

Didn't Julius Caesar's death coincide with earthquakes that were felt as far as present-day Germany?

Sure he was,metaphorically speaking.Same for alex the great.

They didn't. In fact their overall performance by 1918 was pretty remarkable and easily the best.

>>776085
Early in the war they did not perform well. Failing to defend Belgium, the earlier stages of the Mesepotamian campaign (like the seige of Kut) and barely being able to halt the Germans into a stalemate in France.

Crap, I worded that terribly.

It's a shorthand you autistic fucktard. No-one actually thinks "Communism" murdered millions, normal people understand that they mean "people claiming to be Communists" murdered millions.

Gas yourself my friend.

Well when the phrase "you may take slaves in the name of Islam" is in the Quran yes it is the ideology that is the issue.

>>775849
And yet Communists blame death under capitalism to the institutional framework of capitalism, not individual capitalists

I heard it was created by Finns as biological weapon of some sort.

It existed through history but assburger was often distinguished as "different" thing. Dunno how it is today but it changes every 3 decades or so.

Either way it existed but obviously nowadays we over-diagnose it just like we do with ADD.

>>775486
No reason for it to be recent, if there are no records of it it's because nobody really cared about studying and identifying mental disorders before two centuries ago.

>Meanwhile, Mr. Garrison has confronted his father about the issues of sexual molestation, however, the issue was not that his dad had molested him, but rather that he felt neglected because his father had not touched him. When Mr. Mackey finds out about this, he fears Mr. Garrison is so distraught about the issue that he could actually die if Mr. Garrison Sr. does not molest him. Afterwards, Mr. Garrison is assaulted in the middle of the night by a mysterious stranger, and he sets off for the concert happy to have sorted things out with his father.

It's very simple really.

There's no real policing of the clergy, the church won't do it since it damages its image of being virtuous. When there's corruption the church really just doesn't know what to do because they are damned if they act and they are damned if they don't, so they just try to pretend they don't know about it.

Most of this would be avoided if the pope just made it ok for priest to get married, like they were able to in the past. You're obviously going to attract odd people when you make "no sex, no relationships, no marriage, no children" your requirement.

Yes it can work.

in small scale at least
or in mountains

>why is it good?

It treats people as adults, suggesting that every man and woman has the moral agency to treat one other well.

>why is it bad?

Because it's not true. Some people are moral imbeciles. Others are sociopaths, yet others are free riders (lazy cunts). Anarchism would work for Angels or robots, but not for humans.

Indeed, families are often run on analogous principles of consensus-building and communal property.

The "socialism" talked about in modern Western countries is actually closer to "social democracy," which is a system of government that still allows the market to determine the allocation of resources, but has strong government oversight to correct "undesirable" outcomes of natural market mechanics and supports a strong safety net so that the neediest citizens of a state don't go unprotected.

"Socialism" in its historical context is more radical than that, as it was the idea that there should be a central body that controls the means of production, and that ALL wealth inequality (not just excessive inequality) should be eliminated. It was seen as the first step towards communism; a point in social history where the state was still necessary but the profit motivation and exploitation of the working classes were eliminated.

>>774876
Thank you!

>>774876

Socialism and communism were used interchangeably in the 19th century, a different word for a different context. Anarchists are socialists too but they obviously don't advocate for a state. Upper-phase communism as described by Marx is just anarchy.

Reparations to the living = makes sense.
Reparations to descendants = go fuck yourself

(but shouldn't this thread be in /pol/? not even memeing, but it's politics not history)

>>774637
We're not black so no. Also this thread doesn't really belong here.

>>774637
War and politics is beyond the scope of good and evil. Machiavelli covered this 500 years ago.

And in the present day when most philosophy see good and evil as a relative thing it's even more nutty.

Was Cyrus the Great more of a politician or military general/leader?

All the european powers were pretty much making requests and promises out of their ass during the war.

I'm not even talking about the impossibility of the Germans offering meaningful aid; I'm talking about the fact that from the German point of view, Mexico's aid is worth less than the likely cost in terms of angering the U.S. you have in obtaining it.

Why even ask at this point?

>>774375
If the US gets involved in the war Mexico can distract them in North America so Germany doesn't need to deal with ten million American troops on the front lines and can still potentially kick France and Britain's shit in

SS tank division were pretty based afaik, such as das reich and so on

i don't know about infantry divisions

>>773815
>murderers in uniform
