Look at a physical map of that territory. Then consider the technology available at the time Latin America gained independence, the way the Spanish Empire was structured, and the way they gave independence. In short, read a fucking history book.

Each country is basically just 7 or 8 families that own everything with an appointed governor by the Spaniard king, that's why.

The differences between the US are much smaller than the difference between latin american countries. Mexico itself is extremely diverse. Only thing it has in common with say Peru is the language (and even there it gets derivative) and that the majority are catholic. The ethnic makeup also varies considerably between the countries, Guatemala is mostly Maya, Bolivia andean natives, Argentina mostly white, mexico mostly mixed, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Panama have significant black populations more than other latin american countries.

Communism is an academic fetish, a tweed that only grow in the minds of rich professors, and the common man hasn't the capacity to understand it.
You need the the intelligentsia to act against its own best interest to force it on the people it would be helpful for, even as they try to fight back.

>why there is no bigger current day taboo than considering constant technological progress bad?

Except it is constantly questioned?
>>
>>3123542
Where'd you get this notion
>>
>>3123542
Because with each technological advances, we're shouldering on an increasingly scarier prospect if things go sour. Thousands years ago, most you'll do is kill others within few hundred yards. Now we can kill the entire earth and maybe other planets and the solar system if we build up missiles. Hundred years from now, we'll have even greater potential to wipe out all lifeforms ever known.

Technological progress is not just a blessing, its a curse in disguise. With each great advances in the positive direction, there's an equal or worse advances in the negative direction. As long as our current morals standards and people are rational about things, we'll be going in the positive direction. However people can easily make irrational decisions and at the tip of a finger can destroy the entire world.

They didn't, Germany had a thing called "positive Christianity" where Jesus was an Aryan Nordic superhero who beat the shit out of Jews and they spent a lot of time breaking the traditional Catholic and Protestant churches power

Hitler didn't like the influence and power the churches had and wanted to replace them with a Führer-cult or state-cult (just look at the SS pagan rituals). Problem was however, Germans liked their religion and he wasn't able to get rid of it (hence "Gott mit uns" on belt-buckels). So he made a "deal" with the churches (especially the catholic church and pope), that they wouldn't be taken over by the party (Gleichschaltung), in return the priests/pastors would preach a positive, uncritical, view of the Nazis.

Breitbart/Reddit/Pol: "Only White People fought at Dunkirk."

WARNING: HIGH EFFORT POST FOLLOWS

This misconception particularly riles me up, as its so ubiquitous and ignorant. It started with a USA Today writer, mentioning (snarkily, I think), that a lack of people of color or women in the upcoming film Dunkirk may "rub some people the wrong way."
>https://archive.is/WYULf

The conservative share-o-sphere went running with it (http://archive.is/LFvCF), in their quest to make any search for representation in the movies look ridiculous. And now I see it posted everywhere, eg:

>"They're mad that a British film about British soldiers during WWII has no women in it or blacks? Open a fucking history book."
>"When feminists and SJWs start revising history to make it fit their agenda, they have become really stupid. History is written. This movies reflects the facts not the fairy tale wish list of fat feminists."
>"A friend made a joke about this very thing a few days ago. We all laughed and laughed at how ridiculous it would be for anyone to complain about such a thing. And yet, here we are."

I'd like to respond to the charge that there were no people of color involved at Dunkirk. What bothers me most, probably, about this line of thought is that none of these comments are based on history--rather, just based on assumptions--which in themselves are based on either earlier pop culture, or what one *wishes* to see in a movie. Nevertheless, as these commenters requested, I cracked open a history book, and found pretty much the opposite of what they would like to see.

CONT.

COMBO BREAKER

The British and French empires, at the outset of the war, were global and multiethnic — with their holdings in Asia and Africa far outweighing the European home countries in population . The British Indian army, by the close of the war, was the largest volunteer army — ever (britishmilitaryhistory.co.uk/documents.php?nid=12). Colonial subjects from places like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Algeria were pressed into service in large numbers. When the Allies were at their most desperate, attempting to defend Britain as the German army menaced it from across the channel, attempting to also prepare to press the offensive in North Africa, they recruited Indians in massive numbers to stem their losses following their retreat from Europe.

What about Dunkirk? By the time the Allies were retreating from Europe, the French army was at its most depleted for manpower. The units they fielded at Dunkirk had huge percentages of Chadian and Senegalese soldiers, who went on to form the Free French army (pambazuka.org/governance/forgotten-african-soldiers-wwii-celebrations) following evacuation.
As an interesting aside, when they returned to liberate Paris, American commanders requested (news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7984436.stm) that de Gaulle remove them from service so an all-white army could enter the city.

1. In 1940, the French army included more than 100,000 black French soldiers from France’s African colonies, mainly Senegal, Mauritania,and Niger. More than 75,000 of them served in France before and during the German invasion; the rest of them served guard duty in the various colonies. As the Wehrmacht panzer divisions swept across France in May-June 1940, some of those black French soldiers (about 40,000 of them), mainly organized in black regiments or mixed units, were engaged in fierce combat against German soldiers. About 10,000 black soldiers were killed, some wounded, and others taken prisoner during the French debacle
>h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=24173
>>
2. At least two thousand Indians and hundreds of East African conscripts fought with the British (here's a photo: imgur.com/mPQ66Om.jpg of a Sikh soldier at Dunkirk):

3. Four contingents of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps were sent to support the British Expeditionary Force in France in 1940. There was a need for animal transport companies to help with the supply of troops, as the British Army had disbanded its animal transport companies after the First World War. The British, French and Canadian Forces were cut off by advancing German troops in their push towards the Channel. The soldiers retreated to the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk from where 338,226 were evacuated, among them three contingents of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps, while one contingent was taken prisoner by German forces.
>http://www.open.ac.uk/researchprojects/makingbritain/content/battle-and-evacuation-dunkirk-operation-dynamo

Dunkirk was a massive event, so a tour of occurrences happening over its course could ignore these people while remaining more or less accurate— but their appearance (and I’m hearing a single black French soldier does appear), should hardly be out of place. Representation of colonial troops at Dunkirk would be nothing more than realistic representation — to display otherwise might be called revisionism.

I feel compelled to call out this type of bad history because this is more than whitewashing a movie--it's whitewashing real, lived experience for the sake of remembering only the involvement of white people, to the point that people laugh at the assumption that people of color could be involved in anything at all.

The real zulfiqar would have never looked like that. Arabian swords of the 7th century had a straight blade with a curved handle.

It would have been very impractical to have two tips, the rounded cross guard is way too big and loooks like a cheap junk.
