The idea?
No.
The implementation?
Definitely. And colonial exploitation wasn't free trade in the slightest.

No true Scotsman?

I'm Chinese and I'm out of hecks to give. Japs were barbaric retards back then, but they sure aren't now. No use in harping on them when they're basically a pacified bitch vassal of the United States of America.

Although the perception of the war in Japan really boils down to comfort women and Hiroshima/Nagasaki. They really have no idea of what went down in China, SE Asia, or the Pacific. To them, they were freeing Asia from the evil white imperialist.

With that logic you could dismiss the Easter Islanders and Mayas

Literally the first meme

I just admire his candor. Dude had balls. I also admire his dedication to the ascetic lifestyle. It's hard to not admire someone who was so passionate about his life's work. I think the problem with modern philosophers like Nietzsche is that they totally failed to live up to their ideal.

And thank God philosophical ideals are never lived up to in society. It would have been utter garbage.

Herodotus started the meme of overestimating the enemy forces whilst underestimating the Greeks. Eventually people decided to just overestimate both sides.

Because you keep using nation, state and country as synonyms.

They may not be exactly the same, but they share the same meaning.

Why should i throw away my life so some shitty government decision against another government. Hell, why should i kill another man because my government disagrees with his.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. And the lunatics are running the asylum.

I was kind of hoping for a more conversational answer.
Why do you blame liberals? Do you not think conservatives had anything to do with it?
I'm not too well versed on the large political scale of things, which may be why I don't understand this so well, but it seems to be if we had more of both sides willing to reach bi-partisan compromises (I was taught our system encouraged compromise).
It doesn't seem that way. It really does seem like politics in the USA have moved to "Democrat, Republican, or this subgroup of the two."
No (and), just an OR.

I'm not really giving a very academic response here.
>Why do you blame liberals? Do you not think conservatives had anything to do with it?
Modern "progressives" are the movement within liberalism that operates entirely on the "Appeal to Novelty" fallacy. They believe that new ideas (specifically, their ideas) are better than "oppressive" old ideas. They try to apply modern values to people who existed in a time when these values did not exist, because they see them as outdated and crude. They completely refuse to see the idea that the morality of their age was far more valid than their own, because the older moral systems did not have such problems as: sundered family structure, glorification of mental illness, reliance on the state for personal economic intervention, etc.

At any rate, conservative and liberal parties are (in most first world countries) both funded by the same wealth class, and their policies are always globalism, rampant immigration, carving apart the workers, destroying the middle class, etc. So literally whatever. If you're going to make my son poor, at least don't make him a tranny as well.

>Why dont we have pet lions today?

For the same reason we don't have ridable zebras
It takes a minimum of intelligence to domesticate an animal specie, and the human who remained in Africa after the "out of Africa" part (also known as "blacks") stopped evolving and are thus still at the early stage of human evolution (not capable of domestication)

You can get a pet bear or lion if you're willing to pay for it. Especially in terms of food would cost you a fortune. And there's always some risk they could snap and kill you.

>>331222
We do have pet lions, they're called, well, cats. Bears, that's a different story, they're propably just way too strong for people from bygone eras to domesticate.

Obligatory.

Great-grandfather fought in eastern ukraine. Hated both the Russian and the German but was forced as he was "saved" by the soviets. Killed 4 people without mercy and was honorable discharged when shrapnel fucked his arm up. Him and a couple buddies made their way to the Allied side from a polish soviet hospital and made their way to britain then canada.

Kek

To this day I have no idea why Mexico is allowed to exist. I just don't.

>>331151
Well technically, Mexico didn't recognize the annexation of Texas at that point. That's how Polk started the war in the first place.
