Bokassa for laughs, Mubutu for pure avarice and domination, Trujillo for how to do it right.

No.
The only people who seriously advocate for total laissez faire capitalism nowadays are Steffan Molyneux and other such worshipers of the Cult of the Invisible Hand

Give us one instance in history where there has been a totally laissez-faire economy OP, and I'll change my mind on it.

I don't get it either.

Herodotus understood the cause of hair loss and it's been validated by recent studies.

Because Herodotus
A) has kind of a grandfatherly feel to his writing, as if you were sitting with him by the fire while he told you all this, where as Thucydides has the strict and straightforward prose of what he is, i. e. a general.
B) wrote down literally everything he heard, so people read the thing about the giant ants and go 'what the hell', even though the H-man himself repeatedly says that all this beyond what he's personally checked out himself is just what he heard from a Persian in a bar or whatever so don't go taking it as gospel. Thucydides just dealt with a local war he was intimately familiar with; he never had to handle the sheer wealth of exotic information Herodotus did. How can he realistically say he would have handled the subject better?

Well I know the medical condition where vampirism most likely came from is porphyria.

There was an excellent talk at the Royal Armouries about how to kill a vampire (to tie in with their purchase of a "vampire hunters kit").

I'll type up what I can remember when I get home.

Basically though, a good chunk of what we think about vampires stems from modern movies a books, with no basis in actual folklore.

Also there are a few accounts from medieval England about people rising from the grave and attacking people in a zombie like fashion. They were called revenants. The Abbot of Burton wrote about them a few times in one of his works.

Rumor is that they copied an Anunnaki craft they found for the blackbird.

Because they cost the GDP of a small country.

Because the "money is not an issue" mentality of the cold war is over. also: Asymetrical warfare.

>Polysynthetic languages typically have long "sentence-words" such as the Yupik word tuntussuqatarniksaitengqiggtuq which means "He had not yet said again that he was going to hunt reindeer."

Gee I wonder why it's losing so much ground.

Languages rarely exist in isolation though OP, they are influenced by each other all the time, so while it might seem like there is something linguistic natural selection going on, it's very unlikely.

>>375874
Well, maybe they lost ground because they were conquered.

Does this guy have the world's most punchable face?
Look at him, my hands are forming fists involuntarily.

Just to make you mad and molest your country.

Yes, France had a coup in 1958, and the government was reformed and a new constitution was drafted up, and that's how France entered it's fifth republic.

Feel free to read up on the Algerian War. You might also want to watch the Battle of Algiers, just for context.

>could a military coup be possible in a modern first world country?
Off the top of my head France, Greece, UK (planned), Au (planned, multiple), Italy (planned by USA)

didn't hanna arendt write about this in "Eichmann?"

I thought Gershom Sholem got really mad at her for implying Jews aided the Nazis in giving them information about the Jewish populations. Basically helped people get yellow stars n' "shit."

They wouldn't have needed that. Everyone in Germany to this day belongs to a registered religious community by birth unless they join another one. This is maintained in the records because a portion of their taxes go to support that community.

It was as easy as going through the old financial records.

Nuremberg laws. Basically, a "half-jew" who was married to a non-jew were actually shielded from the holocaust. Note that this protection didn't apply to "full-jews" who were married and had their marriages subsequently dissolved or unmarried "half-jews."

Trade is pretty much the definition of relevance. If you do a lot of trade, you have a lot of wealth, you learn about ideas from all over the world, cities spring up, middle and upper classes emerge who spend on luxuries and thus form high culture... without trade, the world literally leaves you behind.

Every country, through differences in culture, work ethics, ressources etc has relative competitive advantages in certain productive areas. It has been proven that even if these advantages are only relative (i.e. it could theoretically still be that one country can produce every single product better than everyone else) it is best for each country to only produce the product they have the largest relative competitive advantage in.

For example, imagine there would be only America and Mexico on the planet and the only two products we have invented and regularly consume are food and computers. Now, even if America can produce food more efficiently than Mexico, it would still be best to channel all ressources into computers where they have the larger competitive advantage and for Mexico to do the same with food (of course ignoring the potential of oversupply of one product or the other). That's how huge trade gains are created compared to the situation where both countries produce just enough of both products for themselves.
