Mesopotamia by far. Egypt is overrated. Even now Iraq is King of the East. Egypt is Western and degenerate.

I'd say Mesopotamia. They exerted more external influence. Egypt was relatively insular. They were still an impressive culture, but I'd say the city states and empires coming from Mesopotamia influenced the world more.

Apparently, being on “the right side of history” means that you’re going down in history on the “correct” side of a big situation. But that’s funny, since America has often been on the wrong side of big things. For example, during World War II, we should have sided with the Axis countries against the mass murdering Soviet Union. But we didn’t. We sided with the communists. We weren’t on the right side of history.

Right side of history is a misunderstood meme, it has nothing to with morals. According to marxists, history is materially predetermined and everything points towards communism, and every attempt to stop it is pointless because it cannot be stopped, therefore those who oppose it are on the "wrong side of history".

Marxists are brainlets btw if that wasn't obvious from what I just wrote

Snow people are naturally bitter. The cold weather has historically prevented them from becoming civilized without the help of superior Mediterraneans. It's a damn shame, too. If we hadn't civilized these snow barbarians they would still be dangling in trees. Now they have the nerve to LARP as the people who civilized them.

So in the United States we see a lot of state or regional pride with many people considering it to be distinct cultures in their own right and which leads to them considering themselves as (state/region) first and American second. I have seen it grow lately as peoples cultural experiences diverge along with politics and bloodlines with the implication that these divergences may continue. Some fringe parts of the internet even call for secession of their particular state/region. These secession's are not likely but it does not seem out of the realm of possibility that the different regions of the U.S. would diverge enough to form distinct ethnic identities and small "nations" within the country with differences beyond the petty regional rivalries of states.

What I want to know, is this in any way a desirable situation? Is it at all beneficial for a country as large as the U.S. to allow itself to separate into distinct cultural units under the same government? I.E. is there any desirability for Californian/Cascadian/Dixiean/Texan to be actual ethicities/culture groups beyond political boundaries but still within the U.S. My gut says it would cause ethic strife but it would be interesting to see arguments otherwise. How would one prevent it, or foster it?

>>3018105
There is one thing that I don't understand about America, that people completely think in state lines rather than cultural lines. For example, Pittsburgh area is culturally pretty much identical to West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and eastern Ohio, yet those areas are think of as "others" while Philadelphia is thought of as "us". It boggles the mind because in most of Europe and the rest of the world this would be unheard of, people outside of America base their identity almost exclusively on ethnic, cultural and economic basis and not imaginary lines on the map.
>>
>>3018120
I don't know if I am wording anything correctly. I am thinking more in terms of the differences between say, Scotland and Wales in the UK, which is much wider than Texan and California in the US. What are the consequences of allowing the differences between U.S. states/regions to reach the level of difference that the Scots and the Welsh or between the Cantonese and the Uyghurs ?

Why did Communism lose its appeal for actual proletarians?

Back in the early 20th century, communist/socialist/anarchist etc. movements had strong working class support in much of the world.

Nowadays it seems, ironically enough, the only people interested in communism are privileged middle class college kids and aging hippies.

So what happened?

There is hardly such thing as a real 'working class' today in an advanced capitalist society. The closest thing that exists are the illegal immigrants toiling on fields and in meat packing plants, but they're unable to effectively organize and are effective disenfranchised.
>>
Because social reforms made work able to provide a comfortable life for the worker, and people want to keep what they make.

Communism only appeals to the extremely impoverished who feel like they will benefit from a redispersal of wealth. For most workers, even in today's society, this would be a net loss for capital.

Creature comforts and no semblance of class consciousness. Don't worry though, it won't last too long.

How long would the german economy have lasted if they didn't invade Poland in '39 or a single country at all considering they spent like 60% of all their resources on the military? Would they have been able to keep their economy afloat without the new territories?
I'm thinking about this because people all too easily claim here on /his/ that "if hitler didn't attack poland then he could've won". Well he certainly couldn't have won if their whole economy collapsed in like 1941 without invading anything.

By 1939, the German economy was fully committed to rearmament. They were running a HUGE budget deficit, spending something like 50 times more than they were taking in. They kept this secret through some fancy accounting tricks, because they didn't want people to realize the full extent of their rearmament, and also because you'd never want people to know you're running a tremendous budget deficit like that. The Nazis also had a fairly generous welfare state to keep the German people from turning against him. One of Hitler's pet theories about Germany losing World War 1 (alongside "muh jews") was that he felt that shitty conditions for German civilians during the war caused morale to break down, resulting in Germany losing its will to fight. Hitler wanted to make sure that this breakdown of civilian morale wouldn't happen again. All of this is quite expensive, and unsustainable unless you're plundering other countries to pay for all of it.

Where did the money spent beyond their revenue come from?

>>3017958
So in the upcoming years the nazis would've apparently crumbled without a war. Interesting.
It is really fascinating that even with all of their resources committed to rearmament they still had a very nice orderly nation before the war and up till 1943. (after seeing many of the footages from back then.) I wonder then what could've hitler achieved if he didn't even invest in military? How rich could germany possibly be?
