Why did so many young Chinese join in the Cultural Revolution? What were they revolting against exactly? It seems as though they were just revolting against anything "old" for the sake of revolting.

That's literally what Communism is.

Has there ever been a larger obsession about victory/loss on a certain front of a war than the WW2 Eastern Front?

Biggest? Certainly on 4chan, but the answer may vary depending on who you ask.

Tried to stop Armenia from taking over a province whose Armenian inhabitants made up more than 70% of the population and got shoah'd. Azeris living in Armenia were expelled to Azerbaijan and Armenians living in Baku and vartashen were expelled to Armenia and Russia. To this day they ban ethnic Armenians from ever entering Azerbaijan and run a racist propaganda machine against ethnic Armenians.

My family comes from a small rural village in Mexico that has lots of pyramids and is amazingly rich in archaeological finds, if you dig pretty much anywhere you find ceramics obsidian and other vestiges.
I had always considered that the pyramids were built by our ancestors. In college we touched this book Imagined Communities. And I realized my conception of who I thought I was a lie, because researching history this city was an ally of the Spanish but after the conquest they were enslaved by them and moved to other places to work the plantations and mines and the place was abandon for centuries used only to graze livestock. Well I have pale skin and found out my family came during the Spanish civil war and established in this little town. Now I feel my nationality is a make believe.
Is this what history is?

Are the modern italians the same people that defeated the Etruscan? No. They are mostly the biproduct of centuries of wars and invasions, and plagues etc. People look at the past for a sense of being. We are all WE WUZING.

There aren't too many on Darius' level but some are pretty up there. This guy surrendered Detroit to force he outnumbered several times over because he got scared when the Indians who were fighting with the British did a war cry.

I've heard that the stereotypical posh "English" accent and the Transatlantic accents are actually very recent.
How did the English sound like before that? What did the American Founding Fathers/Colonial America sound like?
Hell, how would the Romans or the Greeks sound like if they spoke English today?
Any other cool accent facts?

I knew a guy that was in the U.S. Navy at the time of the Korean War. Yet he wasn't stationed near Korea, he was stationed in the Mediterranean Sea?
What was the purpose of that? Was it to protect NATO countries from any USSR attack?

I should probably add he was stationed on a Destroyer

Yes because since there was war in Korea every single US soldier and asset was in Korea leaving everything else open

"In some ways, middle-class society has become a pale copy of the black ghetto, as the appropriation of its language would lead us to believe. We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle-class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed, the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general conditions the most important feature of which is a widespread loss of confidence in the future."

I just had this idea/realization: Utilitarianism a form of normative evolutionary ethics because it argues that the way one ought to act is based on certain facts about human nature, namely, how man has evolved to desire pleasure and avoid pain.
I can accept that the desire for pleasure and avoidance of pain is a fact about human nature for the sake of argument. However, all that can be said of this is that evolution selected for innate behavioral mechanisms in humans that produced the desire for pleasure and avoidance of pain. But this does not offer any moral justification for these behaviors. Additionally, evolutionary psychology argues that there are many innate mechanisms in humans. This means that Utilitarianism would also need to provide an explanation for why the desire for pleasure and avoidance of pain is the only fact about human nature that is relevant to the discussion of morality. In other words, Utilitarianism connects human nature to moral goodness but only focuses on one aspect of human nature.
What are your thoughts on this? I'm sure I'm not the first one to say these sort of things about Utilitarianism so if you know of anyone who made similar points I'd appreciate it if you posted them in the thread.
