Man I wish I had something to add to this thread so it could live on. Perhaps your thread was too far ahead of its time. I hope I live to see the day when a thread like this grows to be epic bread

Stasi was GOAT at psychological terror, was there ever any organization that came even close to what they did? Everyone always seemed to use just physical torture.

I remember visiting one of their prisons/interrogation stations and the tour guide would tell us all kinds of stories, like how they'd intentionally make incomprehensible "bureaucratic" sounding nonsense as accusation so the accused didn't even understand what the fuck was going on and only get more confused/intimidated.

Bridge of Spies made the East Germans look a lot more dickish than the Russians. The Russians in the movie did things, but they always had a point. The Stasi were just pointlessly cruel.

Alexander during a certain Greek's "trial" identified himself as Macedonian and not Greek.

Yes, but the truth is contained within WS Burroughs Cities of the Red Night...

Of course not, fuck off.

No, or we would find archaeological evidence.

If dinosaurs can fossilise and last 65 million+ years then an advanced human civilisation would have left behind shit loads.

Science is inherently unhistorical, man.

Time you read Kuhn, Structure of Scientific Revolutions.

Chilean here. Allende arrived to power with only 1/3 of the voters. The votes were divided with 1/3 on the right (national party), 1/3 the left (the unidad popular) and 1/3 the political centre (christian democracy). He was elected by congress after a pact with the centre. He led a very polarizing goverment and he didn't had the support of the majority, not even the left ( the left was divided between communist and socialist). The coup wasn't inevitable, but he was destined to fail in his plans

What's with the recent pro-Pinochet revisionism?

>>333197
we are talking if the USA was the culprit of the coup, not pinochet

I don't believe that racism is natural. Racism is learned behavior.

What causes racism is that certain groups, such as blacks, behave in antisocial ways : they are rude, loud, commit a lot of crime, etc.

I've read stuff to the effect of Bill Gates being the richest in terms of actual purchasing power, but since wealthy Romans could and did pay armies out-of-pocket, I have trouble believing it. Who knows how many mercs Bill could buy, though?

If I remember correctly John D. Rockefeller's wealth was about 200 billion dollars in today's money.

I think Rockefeller was richer. That's not to say that Musa wasn't influential since he drove up inflation of gold.

I'm sure Utah has to have something going for it.

It 's religion not region OP. But yeah I agree. It's fucking stupid

the war on drugs has not failed. Anyone who says otherwise is a meming faggot. The reason crime rates increased is a direct consequence of increasing drug use/addiction and repression tactics were the only logical means to staving off the problem

Fuck off op

It would be harder than the "It's just a theory" meme. Just accept to live with it

Things exist as social constructs.
Things do not lose relevance with the status of being constructs.

>>332856
>it doesn't exist

No, it just isn't natural. That's the point.

The New Deal was useless as fuck, the thing that actually improved the economy was the war effort

PS: I have no idea what the New Deal is, but I read a post saying that earlier on this board

I'm not sure I know what "illusion" means in this context, since logic is abstract. Is the Fibonacci sequence an illusion?

>>332582
No, you dumbass.

>>332582
It's pretty much as close to the opposite of illusion as you can come.

Rome

>>332583

In 476 C.E. Romulus, the last of the Roman emperors in the west, was overthrown by the Germanic leader Odoacer, who became the first Barbarian to rule in Rome.

Your question is stupid. Low population growth and a lack of breeding would be a contributing factor to getting conquered or assimalated into a larger country or culture. Unless you have walls that will completely cut you off from the whole world.
