greatestpierre did nothing wrong

>To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to pardon them is barbarity. The rigor of tyrants has only rigor for a principle; the rigor of the republican government comes from charity.

Therefore, woe to those who would dare to turn against the people the terror which ought to be felt only by its enemies! Woe to those who, confusing the inevitable errors of civic conduct with the calculated errors of perfidy, or with conspirators' criminal attempts, leave the dangerous schemer to pursue the peaceful citizen! Perish the scoundrel who ventures to abuse the sacred name of liberty, or the redoubtable arms which liberty has entrusted to him, in order to bring mourning or death into patriots' hearts! This abuse has existed, one cannot doubt it. It has been exaggerated, no doubt, by the aristocracy. But if in all the Republic there existed only one virtuous man persecuted by the enemies of liberty, the government's duty would be to seek him out vigorously and give him a dazzling revenge. . . .

It's well established that collectivists who seek to impose their will on others (tankies, Nazis, etc) are some of the most insecure people out there. The only group more insecure would be computer engineers and they tend to love such things.

the soviets did win ww2

Probably that they made the victims walk the plank. That didn't happen.

Also a lot of people think they don't exist anymore, but there's a hell of a lot of them in Somalia.

Wow it's great to see an actual thread that isn't shit right now.
In some cultures and time periods like Roman republic, there is some evidence that pirates were basically a group of outlaws they likely formed as a brotherhood with egalitarian roots and communistic principles amoung each other as a reaction to inequality of their society. They shared everything and voted on who their leader was to be and what their course of action was. Any leader they perceived to be unfair they could depose/ mutiny against.
I mostly got this from a book called Invisible Romans: Prostitutes, Outlaws, Slaves. Good read.
In other periods, like the golden age, there is speculation that Waring nations would hire them to sabotage enemy fleets. That's where the term buccaneers comes from.

>Renown social critic Christopher Lash analyzes the literature surrounding the "culture of narcissism" prevalent at the writing of the book.
>Lash's brings a knowledge of psychoanalysis to the discussion as well one of literature, the latter of which has cataloged the disintegration of the "self" since at least the Romantic era.

Appalled by the cult of "staying positive"? What about "virtue signalers", and those whose sole purpose in life seems to be to "feel good"? A reader of Lash would note that these recent developments are borne out of trend in American culture that Lash documents.

Good and informative book, but a little biased. It's written like a textbook so it can sometimes be hard to keep on reading, but other than that it's fine.

I already read Tragedy and Hope, does this book offer more?

The Anti-Christ, Nietzsche.

You mean European-Americans.

Simple really. Americans pretend to be Egyptian, Blacks BELIEVE they're Egyptian.

Lel. Go back to leftypol. Thanks.

He created it and his opinion would be valuable.

I'm not sure how this will manifest in your reality, but you should get this message. I'm the Entity that put you here in this existence, and all of your kind. I can't say much that you would comprehend with your primitive understanding of reality but I will attempt to put it in a way you could follow using your native language: I am the north entity, my partner is the south entity, he is "evil" as you call it. Your entire reality is constructed by south entity as an experiment of psychological nature. South entity wants to test your faith, even when no evidence is present. Please. Believe in a god. Any god. Else you will perish in pain and suffering. South entity is sick and I'm trying to save your kind.I have given your kind feeling and faith but its not enough. Please believe.

The possibility of one hitting the mark is a sufficient deterrent for any rational nation.
Capacity to intercept, disable, or appropriate mitigates that thread but this doesn't justify a higher quantity of warheads, it demands qualitative improvement.
A well maintained Arsenal of 100+ is more than enough, the better question is why Russia and the USA need 7000+

>A well maintained Arsenal of 100+ is more than enough, the better question is why Russia and the USA need 7000+

For a true deterrent, you need enough capacity to make a meaningful strike even assuming catastrophic failure rates or an extremely successful enemy missile defense system. Moreover, to prevent a preemptive counter-force strike, you need you need to maintain a full nuclear triad and be able to respond in force even with a large part of your arsenal wiped out. If you suspect the enemy might think a first strike would at some point be "worth it" even with proportional or limited retaliation you need to have "massive retaliation" capacity to discourage even a "limited" attack. Combine the need for overwhelming, disproportionate retaliatory force to discourage preemptive attacks with the need for such force to be available from just a fraction of your bombs (the rest having been destroyed or not reaching their targets) and you reach numbers in the thousands.


That being said, massive retaliation to some extent assumes were operating in a MAD world, whereas a lot of more modern thinking allows for the possibility of a limited NUTS nuclear exchange.

>The possibility of one hitting the mark is a sufficient deterrent for any rational nation.

Not necessarily. You have to at some point consider that the enemy (especially a large nation like Russia or China) might be willing to lose 1 city in exchange for utterly wiping your nation off of the map.

Both a and b, and c makes no sense since the Aztec capital had crops literally on the lake; however, disease ultimately killed the most natives eventually.

>>3018430
All of the above, and more. It's never going to be just one answer.

They knew very quickly the Spanish weren't Gods, but some of them realized very quickly it was much easier to get the Spanish to kill their rivals then it was to get fucked by both their rivals and the Spanish. All the while, deforestation lead to serious political crisis, as well as social fragmentation, famine, over population, disease, and war, which put the emperors in panic mode, forcing them to make unwise, unadvised decisions. Also, guns and horses will fug you up.

>>3018430
A) is greatly debated 50/50 by academia. B) is a fact. C) aztecs had good crops though and maximized use of their land. Their diet was pretty healthy and good.
