The process is the same though, just not on the same scale

>>2347674
the idea for nuclear bombs has been around for as long as nuclear energy has been known.

Not nuking Japan enough.

>>2347659
Coming out of the oceans.

>>2347668
WMDs have probably prevented more potential deaths than any technology ever created. The mere existence of nukes has lead to a period of peace in the world that has never before been experienced by humanity.

Without them, a clash between the US and USSR after WWII would all but certainly been inevitable, and it probably would have been the bloodiest war in history.

>>2347659
Without the fear of mutual destruction through nuclear deterent, a total war between the West and the USSR would have happened with hundreds of millions of casualties.

with the short exception of the Crimean war there was no great power conflict from the defeat of Napoleon to WW1

Not castrating the black slaves when buying them in africa

>>2349111

Edgy, but true. Although not the greatest mistake in all of history

>>2349111
Are you retarded? Imagine yourself in the slave-owners position, castrating them would mean that you would have to get new slaves every generation. Fucking pol

>>2349111
Not castrating them once US civil war was over was worse.

>>2347659
Not dropping more

>>2347659
Not rearming the German and Italian armies and stamping out every last Jew on Earth.
That was mankinds biggest mistake.
I am ashamed of my race.

If it wasnt for mass production we'd all be starving right now except for the elite, every country would be african tier
Urbanization, revolutions probably wouldnt have happened and youd still be an illiterate peasant covered in cow shit working for royal landlords
Heck, we're only one power outage away from the stone age

>>2347659
Not killing every jew that existed before the end of the Roman Empire.

>>2347659
Women's rights

are you fucking dumb?

Franco-Prussian war
Prussian/Austrian war
Opium Wars

Anon, please.

>>2350125
Are (YOU) retarded? Do you really think good "stock" ALWAYS produces good offspring, you goddamn racist? Not to mention the raising cost of slave offspring between birth and their entry into the workforce.

It is literally easier and cheaper to buy adolescent and fit for work slaves every generation. Fucking il/lit/erate

>>2347659

Giving up on Reconstruction.

Gommunism

Leftism.

>>2347659
Negro slavery.

Colonial America could have found more than enough cheap labor from poor European immigrants without importing Africans and thereby sewing the seeds of multiculturalism.

>>2350814
Vietnam War
Gulf War
Afghanistan

Quite the peaceful period since the invention of WMDs, huh?

Communism
Anarchism

>>2350947
The original plan was to ship them all back to Africa instead of emancipation but then decided their wives would be best satisfied by BBCs
Btw they indeed imported poor europeans to work in the fields since colonial timed in identured servitude, they were free to do wtv after paying their debts though, slaves were fucked for life save house nigras and other exceptions

>>2350375
>italian armies
Ayyy lmao
Italians only started rounding up jews when Hitler pressured them to do so, original fascism was not antijew and was actually quite popular among italian jews, one of Mussolinis trusted men and a mistress of his were jews themselves

The patent system, I don't think anything has set us back quite that as far as that, or created such a bleak future.

If your invention is so simple that it could be readily copied by anyone who sees it, you're no more worthy than someone who posts "First!" in a YouTube comments section.

>>2347659

The fucking mongols.

I would be behind a genocide of the Mongolians for the savage sins of their ancestors.

And the sacking of Baghdad robbed humans of so much ancient wisdom.

I don't hate Mongolians but you have to set an example.

>>2351426

I like the fact that they cleared the field for the rising dominance of Europe.

I hate the fact that they set back nation building ,in their areas, hundreds of years.

But this Earth could've used far better rivals to the Europeans. Instead of thinking of creating inventive ways to commit self-genocide, they would deal with the world on a more even playing field.
