Would a conditional surrender have been possible in world war 2? Did Hitler refuse to surrender, choosing instead to fight to the end? Did the Allies want to crush the Axis into submission?

Pretty sure the USA demanded unconditional surrender from it's entry into the war on, so likely no.
>>
>>3041625
No. But it might have been possible to avoid the level of destruction seen at the end of the war.
>>
the mutual distrust between USSR and Allies made it impossible to have a conditional surrender, which would spare the lives of probably millions

the allies were afraid if the germans surrender to the USSR, the red horde will overrun europe
the USSR was afraid if the germans surrender to the allies, they suddenly face not the wehmacht only, but the allies too

this made germans having no choice but to fight on as the unconditional surrender term made the possible removal of shitler useless

Am I wrong in thinking that the American Revolution was mostly "clean" on the part of the patriots? As an ameriburger i was never taught that the patriots did any sort of major war crimes or fucked up revolutionary shit like the French did a couple years later, is this true? If so why was that? To me it seems like the American Revolution was completely devoid of all the ideological dick measuring contests about "Trve Revolvtionaries" that always devolves into more bloodshed of other revolutions, has my burger education mislead me in this too?

I don't think so just because of how charismatic he was. Then again. Maybe autism functions as charisma in France.

Ok I understand hard work can make it but let's look at factors that seem to be right place at right time.
The parents you have
The genetics
The positive environment
Some people are just born with these and have used it to catapult themselves further...others not so fortunate must put in double time and overcome shitty childhood. Fair or not...odd how some get it and others dont.

It is not luck as the world is entirely physical. We see the same ancient families dominating today as they did centuries ago.

Are you quoting Kazcynski? If so, i kind of agree with some of his statements about the consequences of technological development in the West, but it's hard to take him serious when you know he was brainwashed by the CIA.

Is childhood and teenage obesity an entirely modern creation? I feel that surely there were some sons and daughters of nobles or the wealthy middle class that had the resources and attitude to become overweight, at least occasionally.

It's far easier to get fat on modern corn syrup than anything the rich had access to 100 years ago
>>
>>3040273
Of course nobles would be able to become obese through eating. They'd be the only ones who could afford that much food without having to work all the calories off.

The difference now is that it's poor people routinely becoming obese. Mainly because the cheapest food is, usually, unhealthy fast food.

calories are cheap as fuck

Would Lincoln have developed and used nukes if WWII era technology was available during the Civil War? Would any historical leader *not* use them given the opportunity for the first time?

You would have to be mad to use a nuke in a civil war.

>>3040278

You would have to be mad to burn down Georgia in a civil war.

But point in case, point taken. Nukes have a much more lasting cultural and physical impact and civilian death is the target.
>>
>>3040278

He was pretty desperate though, wasn't he? Plus they would be new at the time like they were at the end of WWII, so it's not like you'd have the benefit of all the many years of "atomic weapons are terrible" messages drilled into your head.

How much did America actually do in WW1 and WW2?
25 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
Well if America hadn't joined World War One, even as late as they did, the Allies would've most likely still won but the war would've gone on till at least 2019 or 2020. Those 10,000 American doughboys arriving every day in the spring of 1918 ready to fight like it was 1914 and die held the Germans back during their final great offensive and drove into Germany with an offensive of their own which finally led to the Armistice on November 11th.

If Americans don't join WW2, the Russians still eventually rape the Germans in Europe. Japan probably remains an empire though and conquers Australia.
>>
>>3040276
>the war would've gone on till at least 2019 or 2020
I have my doubts that Germany could have fought for another century
>>
Their factories won both wars.

In WW1s case, the entrance of the United States at the same time Russia left helped to finish Germany off.

In WW2, American strategic bombing and their smaller land campaign helped to take pressure off of the USSR.

It's difficult to see either war ending the way it did if there was a patch of ocean where the US is.

Is "create your own morality" just a hot meme?
13 posts and 2 images submitted.

No, it's correct. The fact that morality doesn't objectively exist is no reason not to have moral systems most people agree on.
People are too obsessed with trying to conjure up objectivity for morals.
>>

My morality is to ruthlessly kill anyone who shares the same ideology as you. You simply cannot complain when i come and kill you.

There is not one single point to human morality if not all (100%) of humans agree on it.
