Given that suicide is the only serious philosophical question could we say /r9k/ is the foremost board for philosophical discussion on 4chan?
No.

We keep hearing shit about how Chinese leaders get hot under the collar because students studying in the US, Europe and so on will be exposed to Liberal ideas. Then they'll go home with funny ideas about how they can make the country a better place if it had Democracy just like the country they visited.
But...how often does that happen?
Kim III studied in Switzerland and he's very comfortable with his new role as the Third Fat Dictator.
Assad was a post-Grad in London but then he did not end one man rule.
Lee Kuan Yew was a barrister in the UK but then he went back to Singapore and established the Singapore we have today.
>>2960090
not sure, but I'd say the average chinese student would probably be more vulnerable to adopting western ideas like democracy than the elites who are next in line to a dictatorship, like Kim.
>>2960090
Yeah this is rare as fuck. All the asian students that come to study at my school stick to their own and definitely couldn't give two shits about how our government is run, nor do they even concern themselves which such things
>>2960090
The Norks are special like that.
Assad is clearly a bit of a psycho why would he give up power willingly?
Lol wut? Singapore is just continuing traditional British treatment of the poor.
You'd be better looking for specific Chinese examples of students who returned and became dissidents.

>Spengler had claimed that socialism's rise in Germany had not begun with the Marxist rebellions of 1918 to 1919, but rather in 1914 when Germany waged war, uniting the German nation in a national struggle that he claimed was based on socialistic Prussian characteristics.
>These socialistic Prussian characteristics existed across Germany that included creativity, discipline, concern for the greater good, productivity, and self-sacrifice. Spengler described socialism outside of a class conflict perspective and said "The meaning of socialism is that life is controlled not by the opposition between rich and poor, but by the rank that achievement and talent bestow. That is our freedom, freedom from the economic despotism of the individual."
>Spengler denounced Marxism for having developed socialism from an English perspective, while not understanding Germans' socialist nature. Spengler accused Marxism as following the British tradition of the poor envying the rich. Spengler claimed that Marxism sought to train the proletariat to "expropriate the expropriator", the capitalist, and then to let them live a life of leisure on this expropriation. In summary, Spengler concluded that "Marxism is the capitalism of the working class" and not true socialism.
Is he right, /his/?
More like Spergler, lol.
Krupp was doing socialist welfare shit before it was in vogue and Prussia was one of the first countries in Europe to dump child labour, so there's some merit to his line of thinking
Hey guys
I'm looking for a historic Bronze-Age/Pre-Bronze-Age documentary that really focusses on the "birth" of human civilization in the Eastern Mediterranean/Southern Europe and the rise and fall of the nations that originated from these prehistoric cultures
I can't find any decent documentaries though aside from 240p videos on youtube that seem to be 20 years old so I'm kindly asking for your help here
>>2959753
Just type in afro centrism on youtube
>>2959753
Just find something about Sumer.
Why was Ireland so primitive until the Normans came? Why didn't they have castles/better weapons?
They did have castles. The green pins on this map represent Gaelic castle construction while the yellow ones are Norman castles.
What do you mean by "better weapons"? Actually for that matter what do you mean by "primitive"? They didn't have much of an urban tradition and didn't wear armor but apart from that I can't think of much difference in terms of technology.
>>2959759
But where they REALLY castles, or just shitty dirt forts?
>>2959759
They fought with clubs and didn't even wear helmets. this is extremely primitive by any standards.
The hardest shit in philosophy that I can't understand is finding the end goal to life. So what am I really looking at to achieve if I'll die anyways and everything about me will be forgotten no matter how much of an impact I have time will take my legacy from me. So it can't be having a legacy, can it be enjoying life the fullest? Help /his/.
>babby's first existential crisis
Who cares? Not about your specific problem, because we all have that at some point. Actually, that's the answer to your question: "Who cares?"
Life is a game. Do you play games to reach the end, or do you play to entertain yourself?
It's about the journey, man

Thanks.
If not retarded occupation policy of Reich, Soviet Union would collapse like a house of cards. In the beginning nazis were welcomed as liberators. Are stormfags delusional as always?
>>2959635
Well, not having partisans making your supply lines even more strained than they already are would certainly have helped.
>>2959635
Many of the non-Russians (particularly the Ukrainians) probably could have been persuaded into helping fight the Russians if the Nazis hadn't been all autistic.
>>2959635
>If not retarded occupation policy
The cooperation with occupied population was out of the question and wasn't even considered by German planners.
German agriculture and industry were in no shape to produce enough supplies for 5+ million of men on the Eastern front. And even if they were, there was no supply lines and not enough trains to get that shit delivered. Therefore German army was fed and clothed by:
1) resources mercilessly squeezed out of occupied territories,
2) slave labor abducted from the East sent to the Reich to work in farms and factories.
In order to get both, terror was needed. Unseen-before terror. Otherwise it's difficult to assume that an Ukrainian farmer will willingly give away all his crops and livestock and his sons to be sent away to the Reich to work. Or to give away his daughter to be raped in brothels run by the Wermacht.

Why was the Korean war such a fucking mess?
Almost as many countries were involved in it as the second world war.
>>2959415
It was a War backed by the UN, and the war in which the US learnt not to declare wars.
Why was the war didn't depressed the American as much as Vietnam War?
>>2959415
It wasnt supposed to be: initially it was limited to a local mess.
And then the UN for the first (and only) time backed a Security Action, thereby taking many member states to accompany the Americans to hurl back NK.
The Invasion of NK however prompted the Soviet Union to be more fully involved, and China to send troops to bolster the beleaguered NK forces.
What followed was a stalemate because nobody was willing to escalate shit outside of Korea and therefore they had to negotiate it.

Why German autism was so triggered by this strip of land?
Fun fact: contrary to Nazi propaganda, Poland was actually giving out three railroads to Germany for the use of extraterritorial (sealed) trains to pass without Polish interference. See the bolded lines on the map.
>>2959369
As historical events showed, that was just an excuse for a bigger land-grab. No matter how Poland appeased Nazi Germany, it would never be enough - as was shown in the German subjugation of Czechoslovakia.
>>2959369
hitler wanted Poland specifically in Anti-Comintern Pact, when Poland chose Allies he wad butthurt and chimped out
Why where Germans aloud keep all that land to the east after ww1 anyway...
