letting the trolley run over the single person instead of the group. after all, ethically, multiple lives are worth more than a single life.

But you wouldn't be letting it run over him, you'd be causing it to run over him. You could let it run over the five.

The "Babbu di a Patria" (Father of the fatherland), as was nicknamed Pasquale Paoli by the Corsican Italians, wrote in his Letters the following appeal in 1768 against the French invaders:

We are Corsicans by birth and sentiment, but first of all we feel Italian by language, origins, customs, traditions; and Italians are all brothers and united in the face of history and in the face of God ... As Corsicans we wish to be neither slaves nor "rebels" and as Italians we have the right to deal as equals with the other Italian brothers ... Either we shall be free or we shall be nothing... Either we shall win or we shall die (against the French), weapons in hand ... The war against France is right and holy as the name of God is holy and right, and here on our mountains will appear for Italy the sun of liberty....

("Siamo còrsi per nascita e sentimento ma prima di tutto ci sentiamo italiani per lingua, origini, costumi, tradizioni e gli italiani sono tutti fratelli e solidali di fronte alla storia e di fronte a Dio… Come còrsi non vogliamo essere né schiavi né "ribelli" e come italiani abbiamo il diritto di trattare da pari con gli altri fratelli d’Italia… O saremo liberi o non saremo niente… O vinceremo con l’onore o soccomberemo (contro i francesi) con le armi in mano... La guerra con la Francia è giusta e santa come santo e giusto è il nome di Dio, e qui sui nostri monti spunterà per l’Italia il sole della libertà…")

Pasquale Paoli wanted the Italian language to be the official language of his Corsican Republic. His Corsican Constitution of 1755 was in Italian and the short-lived university he founded in the city of Corte in 1765 used Italian.

Napoleon was a dumb brainlet and Alaska costed a big % of the US GDP while it was mostly wasteland at the time

Because

1) the land was empty
2) the owners could not defend it

Mostly number 2. If you have land without the resources to defend it, it becomes a liability in times of war instead of a strength, so you're in your best interest to sell it off when you can instead of inevitability losing it.

There ain't much to say; we're saved by faith alone, through grace alone, and all other religions that teach salvation by good works will simply lead people to destruction.

Nope. Also I find it funny that in the era of great peace i.e. when white people aren't murdering each other in the deadliest wars seen on earth there comes a philosophy stating everything is meaningless. Coincidence?

Whites are a good middle-tier race.

In a perfect society, Jews (the highest IQ group) would be on top dictating broad affairs and policy. Next would be whites and asians who act as day-to-day administrators, professional bureaucrats, overseers, and technicians. Next would be slavs and Indians who act as soldiers and blue collar workers respectively. After that would be blacks, hispanics, and arabs, who would serve as manual laborers.

THIS is the society that genetics calls for.

What are you complaining about? If you get a wife she'll probably let you name the child.

>all men convert to fundamentalist Bible-believing Christianity
>refuse to marry any woman that doesn´t agree to the biblical principles ruling the conduct of women and marriage
Problem solved.

It's inaccurate and basically whitewashing history. We know that beyond official number white whalers were killing men and enslaving and raping women in droves. In fact the remaining Aboriginals of Tasmania are the results of white whalers enslaving women and forcing them to seal and muttonbird in harems at times. Slaughter and genocide did take place.
