Did the United States ever have a chance to annex Baja Californina?

By the end of the Mexican-American War, the U.S. could've taken large portions of Mexico's land. But the U.S. gov decided to only take what they did because they didn't want clay with lots of brown people on it.
>>
>>3369758
There was an all-Mexico movement so Baja was definitely on the table.
>>
>>3369817
Actually they wanted more, but the ambassador to Mexico just happened to be a No Territory northerner who sympathized with Mexico and didn't agree with the war. He forced through a softer peace than he had been instructed to, and then quickly cabled home publicizing what the deal had been before authorities could reprimand him for going against orders.

USA ended up with basically all of the oil anyways.

basically, but some religions like worshiping greek gods or demons can get you killed or put you in a mental asylum. So those might be counted as harder to be devout in.

How much slack can you reasonably give the WW1 generals for their fuckups in trying to adapt to the new form of warfare the war brought?

Let's ignore that they would have had an idea what would've happened if they took seriously the Russo-Japanese War as that was the prototype for machinegun vs machinegun warfare. Early on they were still trying to fight a 19th century war and people got fragged left and right as a result. So you need to give them some time to figure out how to fight differently. But at one point, after how many months/years can you say they weren't learning fast enough?

The first few months of the war were fought like a 19th century war. By the end of the war they were pretty good at trench warfare. I don't really get your point.

There were generals who were stupid and bull-headed on the tactical side (looking at you, Britain) but on the strategic level there was nothing else that could've been done.
The scope of mass society had (and still has) turned war into a sort of prisoner's dilemma. When powers were mobilising modern, professional armies in the millions or even tens of millions, on a national level, countries had to meet parity just to defend themselves and play the game at all. Bar an extreme lopsidedness in the quality of command it was impossible to force a quick, bloodless victory under these conditions. There were no mechanised units and the tank arrived late in the war and was too immature to prove of any serious use.
All powers at the time recognised this to a degree and that was why there was such an impetus towards finding some sort of technology that might break the deadlock. Air power might have proven a strong candidate, but the zeppelins proved militarily inconclusive and for the most part only served to turn public opinion in Britain against Germany. Chemical weapons had a similar effect. The whole situation in WWI was an unfortunate accident of time and logistics.

What does /his/ think about critical theory? When ever I read about it it sounds interesting but I usually don't agree when it is applied to sociology.

It's infantile. Yes, it's important to question our own convictions. No, it's not useful to ONLY criticize, especially in such a completely one-sided way. If your premise is "Western culture is evildumb", then guess what? You'll conclude that Western culture is evildumb.

>>3369486
Deconstructing the social norms and values that bind a culture together is evil
>>
>>3369501

Well that's nonsense, it IS valuable to think about the things we take for granted. What's "evil" is how one-sided their approach is, they criticize the West and ONLY the West, and then conclude that all the other cultures in the world-- that they have spent zero time studying-- must be better than the West because gosh, look at all this criticism of the West!

A group of 15 or so libertarians are in a massive building together.

The building contains all of the basics needed to live comfortably such as beds, a kitchen that restocks with food every day, gym, entertainment, etc. all for free.

The only rule is that none are allowed to ever leave the facility for the rest of their lives unless they murder all the other occupants.

How does this scenario end?

Sounds like a scenario for gay porn.
>>
>>3369165
Probably the same as with anyone else. Obviously killing each other would violate the NAP, so they'd have to live in the building. They would probably come to the conclusion that whoever is imprisoning them there forfeits the right to all the stuff, but none of the prisoners has any more claim to it than any of the others. So assuming there is enough food and beds for everyone, they would probably each choose a bed and agree to own equal shares of everything else. 15 people is a small enough group that you wouldn't really need a system for assigning beds, if two people want the same bed for some reason and don't want to sleep together they can just negotiate about it, e.g. one person agrees to let the other have the bed in exchange for a portion of his food. If there's a limited amount of entertainment and gym equipment, like only one TV, they could rotate who gets to use it each day. Etc.

European Traditional religionists should really do in-depth training and consultation with practioners of ATR especially in the Americas and even more so with those who choose to maintain Christianity in their practices because that's the template you'll need to not be Larpers and be practioners.

Most of the odinists and what not are basically wiccans with furs and chainmail.

Why did they overthrow it? Did the life of the average Russian citizen actually change when it was gone? To me it just seems pointless because essentially all they did was replace an oppressive foreign monarch with a equally oppressive if not worse native monarch
