Do Americans actually do this? I was raised (and still live in) a small town where if you don't say "thank you" you're shunned for months by the many old ladies in the area.

A sizeable portion my dude. Alot of people just don't like making it sound like a big deal t b h senpai.
I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY BALKANISED SOUTH AMERICA
btw Amazonia is like Greenland. A huge mostly protected and sparsely inhabited territory governed by a country.
I would assume Amazonia would be governed by South Brazil as North Brazil would be too incompetent.

Some may find the books on there of interest, with titles like "Marxism In United States History Before the Russian Revolution" and "Lenin's Impact on the United States."
The labor historian Philip S. Foner on the first Marxist group in the USA, founded in 1857:
>The Communist Club of New York was not only the first Marxist organization in the Western Hemisphere; it was the only socialist (and labor) organization that invited blacks to join as equal members. Its constitution required all members to "recognize the complete equality of all persons—no matter of whatever color or sex." The club was also in the forefront of the struggle against slavery, and its members played an important role in mobilizing the German-American workers in opposition to the "peculiar institution." ....
>By 1860, these workers had become committed to a radical antislavery position. Moreover, men like Weydemeyer, Douai, and members of the Communist Club, including Sorge, formed a significant force in the Republican Party, seeking to push the party in a more radical direction, particularly in the direction of favoring the total abolition of slavery.
>When the Civil War began with the attack on Fort Sumter, most of the German radical organizations disbanded because the majority of their members enlisted in the Union forces. The New York Communist Club did not meet for the duration of the war since most of its members had joined the Union army.

Besides mere advocacy and campaigning, Joseph Weydemeyer and Adolph Douai had a more direct influence. A conference was held at the Deutsches Haus in Chicago in May 1860. This was a meeting of German-American representatives from around the country who hoped to influence the proceedings of the Republican National Convention which would be held days later in the same city. Both men were sent to the conference and Douai was one of two participants tasked with preparing resolutions to be presented to the Convention on behalf of German-Americans. The proceedings of the conference worried the Convention's organizers, who feared the Republicans losing the large German-American vote in various states. As a result the conference had an important (some say decisive) impact on the Convention's decision to nominate Lincoln as the Republican Presidential candidate owing to his strong ties to that community.

Very interesting, tbqh. I wonder how Marx and the early communists themselves viewed the American Revolution and earlier such revolutions like in France.
>>
>>66473084
Well, historical materialism got its start in Marx's readings of Thierry and Guizot, two bourgeois historians who wrote about the importance of class struggle in the French Revolution, and Marxists have always regarded Robespierre as a great example of a revolutionary leader.
As for the American Revolution, it seems that early American socialists considered it a progressive event, as a bourgeois revolution against colonial rule and the remnants of feudalism in the colonies. Lenin referred to it as "one of those great, really liberating, really revolutionary wars."

In 1682, the Ottoman Empire made its third and final attempt to seize the Habsburg capital of Vienna, which would have thrown open the center of Europe to the Turkish host. The Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha led an army of 170,000 men to march on Austria. Siege of the city commenced on July 14, 1683. Vienna was protected by substantial walls, but only 12,000 men garrisoned the city and as all food supplies were cut off, near famine conditions began.
Meanwhile, the Polish king Jan III Sobeski prepared a relief army. Jan was not motivated by mere Christian fervor to drive off the infidel, but also entirely practical reasons...if Austria fell, then Poland would also be exposed to the Ottomans. Some 80,000 Poles and Austrians marched to relieve the beleaugered city, with Jan Sobeski, already renowned in Europe as a battlefield tactician, in overall charge.
The relief army had to act quickly to save the city and prevent another long siege. Despite the binational composition of the army and the short space of only six days, an effective leadership structure was established, centered on the King of Poland and his heavy cavalry (Polish Hussars). The Holy League settled the issues of payment by using all available funds from the government, loans from several wealthy bankers and noblemen and large sums of money from the Pope. Also, the Habsburgs and Poles agreed that the Polish government would pay for its own troops while still in Poland, but that they would be paid by the Emperor once they had crossed into imperial territory. However, the Emperor had to recognize Sobieski’s claim to first rights of plunder of the enemy camp in the event of a victory.

On September 12, the battle was joined. With most of the Ottoman artillery facing Vienna, the troops confronting the allied army were left almost without any artillery support. After an infantry clash early in the day, the Polish hussars began their attack. With the Ottoman army surrounded on three sides, panic began to set in. In one of history's greatest cavalry charges, 20,000 allied horsemen, with Jan Sobeski personally leading his elite "Winged Hussars" in front, the Ottomans dropped their weapons and began to flee, the troops besieging Vienna reluctantly following behind.
The battle was described in contemporary Ottoman histories as "one of the worst battlefield defeats in our history" with at least 35,000 casualties and another 5,000 men taken prisoner. Allied casualties numbered about 19,000. It was the beginning of the end for Ottoman imperial dominance, and the dawning realization in Europe that their long-feared nemesis was not invincible. Over the next decade and a half, Hungary would be liberated from the Ottoman yoke, and the Treaty of Pressburg in 1699 confirmed these territorial changes.

The point of making suicide illegal is so that the police can enter private property without a warrant to stop you from killing yourself.

Just English to be quite honest. Everything else comes down to personal preference or career choices.
>>
>>66472413
Which language would you recommend for someone with English already under his belt (ironically I learned Arabic after Eng, so I am a native speaker)?
Mandarin seems the obvious choice but seems extremely daunting, while spanish is entertaining and simple
>>
>>66472451
Mandarin is a meme choice imo. No matter how successful they may become, Chinese people aren't going to make anyone learn Mandarin, they will just end up using some European language or interpreters for international business (if you want to be an interpreter, then I guess it's a decent choice), and otherwise everyone else in the world will continue as normal.
Spanish is sensible, more countries use it, its increasingly influental even in the US, and it will give you an even firmer grip on European languages, which are used throughout the whole world, and it will give you the ability to read anything written in a Romance language quite easily with a dictionary on hand.
If you want my really personal opinion, then I say learn Esperanto.

Because belgium fought for their land own with sword, gun and blood in the time that they had to do it while Catalonia "tried" but never won... they never had relevance in the european history by their own.
