Why were Nazi commandants tried and executed for running concentration camps but no one was tried for the Boer concentration camps and gulags/ various socialist work camps?

why dont those guys simply declare war to the west instead of founding """terrorist rebels""" to do it for them?
why arent we invading them in the first place?
im not asking this in a pol way, just seems like it would be an obvious results with this much tension
in the past it wouldnt take this long to invade some place, is it because we all are in alliances that would trigger a world war?

It seems whenever a thread is made discussing the history of Islam on /his/, mods temp ban everyone who doesn't suck it's dick, and 404 the thread.
Why is history not allowed on /his/? Religion is history, and not politics.
Also how come so many Leftists on here discount the Bukhara, when every Muslim, Suuni and Shia, owns it, and it condones every act of terror and human rights violation radical Islam commits? Are they so ignorant they believe Muslims only believe in the Quran? Should they even be aloud to argue if they discount Muhammad saying sexually enslaving children is okay because it's in the second most important book to the Quran that all Muslims believe in, and thus doesn't count?

Why do people think it's acceptable to joke about the Holocaust? After just spending five minutes reading some of the evidence around the horrors of the various medical experiments, starvations, and murders, it's pretty apparent that the only type of person who could joke about this event is someone that is either willfully ignorant (I think this is the case 99% of the time) or is a true psychopath/lunatic.

How would things have been different in the UK if the IRA had used Islamist-style tactics instead of western ones? IE, aiming for maximum fatalities during attacks. So instead of killing 6 people by bombing Harrods, imagine they had killed several hundred and brought down much of the structure.
How would that have changed the tenor of the conflict and the British government's reaction to it?

Well, we all know we can't crack down on the IRA and it's sympathizers too much, resiting them is exactly what they want us to do! We can't risk radicalizing more Irishmen, Patrick O'Murphy the mayor of London (which is may remind you currently 70% Irish Catholic) told me so!
>>
>>2916332
Honestley I think it would have made them less effective, and lead to greater crackdowns.
>>
>>2916342
Are you implying that anyone has ever said that we shouldn't crack down on Islamic terrorist organizations too much and that doing so will radicalize more Muslims? No one has ever said that, what people are saying is that implementing anti-Muslim policies (such as a ban on the Quran and building of mosques advocated by some far-right parties in the West) will radicalize more Muslims, not that we shouldn't be too harsh towards Islamic terrorists.

What's wrong with centrism? All I ever see is negativity towards the ideology.
15 Posts / 1 Images

The negativity comes from three directions:
First, obviously, is extremists who want to counter the culturally prevalent idea that extremism is inherently bad.
Second is as a backlash against smug younglings who hide behind centrism as if it is an immovable position and who think they can achieve intellectual high-ground by splitting any debate down the middle.
Third is people who misunderstand the "appeal to the middle" fallacy and stretch it to mean "Any middle position is wrong"

Could it possibly be because the Atlantic states (maryland, new york, Massachusetts on that map) had a far larger population and more development due to them being older parts of the union and colonized since the 1500s????

We're neither meant to live in cities or suburbs. We're meant to live in small dense settlements of around 150 people. You can easily see this by studying how humans live in pre-state societies, like hunter-gatherers or part-time horticulturalists. We literally can't keep track of more than 150 social relationships in our head.

How would the world look like today if Hitler accepted Stalin's offer of joining the Axis in 1940?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–Soviet_Axis_talks
Was there any chance of this happening at all, or did Hitler's inflexible ideology mean this alliance was impossible to begin with?

National socialism was based around the hatred of communism and jews and blaming them on everyting that went wrong in germany, so yes it was just impossible.
Stalin was just to naive or dumb to realize this though.
>>
>>2914448
Stalin thought that other dictators were a lot like him. Primarily interested in realpolitik and using ideology as a cover for it. What he didn't count on was that Hitler actually meant his millinearian stuff was something Hitler actually believed and wasn't something for the masses to consume
>>
>>2914509
Stalin was a psychopath, one of their most noticeable traits is a total inability to empathize. Psychopaths believe that everyone is like them, they're just too "weak" to act on it.
