What is your overall opinion on Oliver Cromwell? I find him an amazingly fascinating character with a very divisive legacy.
Cancerous more than divisive, desu

I'm listening....
It was all his generals, wanna be ceasar. Only directly commanded the oriental and russian campaigns - betrayed the revolution, italian, and was indeed short for 19th century
Who killed Jesus, the Jews or the Romans?
Can't kill what didn't exist.

Trolley Problem Thread?
The Goal, is to find the most ethical solution to the problem, given your personal ethical system
If you push the man off the bridge at the right time, you may stop/slow the trolley enough to prevent the people at the end from dying.
What Do?
There’s an out of control trolley speeding towards four workers. Three of them are cannibalistic serial killers. One of them is a brilliant cancer researcher. You have the ability to pull a lever and change the trolley’s path so it hits just one person. She is a brilliant cannibalistic serial killing cancer researcher who only kills lesser cancer researchers. 14% of these researchers are Nazi-sympathizers, and 25% don’t use turning signals when they drive. Speaking of which, in this world, Hitler is still alive, but he’s dying of cancer.
What do?

Dear anon,
Thank you for your post and enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellant to one's own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterized the philosophy and practice...

Do you have a picture of your great-great-great-grandmother? I don't even know her name :(
But it says on the back that Lazar Lecter took the picture :P I don't have any older picture than this one.
>>1137404
Just great-grandmother.
My genealogy starts when my great grandfather came over after WWI. All of our records prior were lost in the war aside from a couple of photo albums
My family never went anywhere. We mostly got killed in all the wars, lol. I am the descendant of the most lucky ones :)
Was it rascism?
This quote makes me think it wasn't:
> "When a young Brahmin drew alongside me and after some conversation in Urdu between us, pointed to his home some hundred yards from the road and suggested I go there with him for a drink of water. While my hosts used a brass vessel, I drank from a rough earthen tumbler, which, on thanking them and taking my leave, I smashed on the ground to show that I knew it could not anyhow be used again. 'He is a Hindu,' they said to one another with a smile. There is a sense in which...

Enoch was amazing. One of the youngest ever professors of classics, read ancient Greek, Urdu, and a few others. He learnt Welsh in a weekend!
All of his predictions came true, he reckoned that non whites would become about 1/8 of the population by 2000. He was right. He warned us that non-whites would have the "whip hand" (political power) over the white man. He was right: A Muslim is the mayor of London.
Man...... Reading his St. George speech again:
"Backward travels our gaze, beyond the grenadiers and the philosophers of the 18th century,...

He had a point people weren't willing to make after various movements post-WW2. He had huge popular support, and was a brilliant academic. He was very principled, and very had a very clear conception of what Britain was, at a time when people were confused about what it should become in post-imperial times.
Not a racist, certainly not in the sense of being a supremacist, just someone that was willing to really spell out the feelings about race of the common person in the most visceral terms, and instead of saying "this is not acceptable, they need to change", he said "this is the reality, we must come to terms with it"

uhm what? so it's okay when the USSR does it?
explain this shit
>>1137153
The soviet union is harder to bomb and rape than germany.
>>1137153
Britain and France were full of communists and Soviet sympathizers.
>>1137153
You can only fight one superpower at a time. Hence why pretty much every action the allies took once it was apparent Germany will lose was to ensure that they will be able to fight USSR once Germany surrenders.
Watergate was an unmitigated disaster. An abject embarrassment for Nixon and the country. It utterly changed the relationship between the White House and the Press from then on.
Kissinger was brilliant though.
>>1136783
Most modern teachers and professors I meet try to highlight the good sides of Nixon before getting down to the big scandal. I'm pretty sure most kids before highschool have a perception of Nixon as a huge asshole through word of mouth, and from what I remember talking to students and my own experiences in history classes after going through education they learn about his diplomatic feats and such.
One particular point of view I remember fondly is how I had a discussion with a highschool economics teacher...

Is it true that Nixon had one of his campaign aids sabotage the 1968 Paris Peace talks conference in order to win the election on the basis of ending the Vietnam war or is that just an Alex Jones-tier conspiracy theory pile of horseshit?

>edgelords and autists
that's fascists for you
>>1136689
Fascism has nothing to do with race, neither do National Socialism
More like nationalities, even Mussolini claimed that there's no such thing as a pure race
>>1136719
Exactly this, but it's been sullied and destroyed so much by racist idiots and autists that it ought to be buried and forgotten about forever.
Was apartheid just a proxy regime against communism with no racial motive at all? If not, why was it dismantled at the time of the USSR collapse?

Unrelated question, but what caused the ANC to go to corrupt after the fall of Apartheid?
>>1136511
Because there was only Mandela and the rest of ANC was Mugabe lite.
Why are we so obligated to accommodate poor people/losers and their mistakes?
Why do I have to pay for some retard who is constantly churning out children when he full well knows he cannot provide for them?
Why don't we simply let the weak and poor die?
because all human life has value otherwise we get into inconclusive debates about where the line should be drawn that always end up with a lot of innocent people dead for very little reason
>>1136259
Because 1917 will happen.
You have no obligations.
All obligations are spooks.
Taxation is theft.
Could technocratic state capitalism ever work?
Technocratic anything can't really work because engies can't run a country.
Technocracy isn't an actionable form of government. It's more of a spectrum within the operations of existing civic frameworks. Are officials receiving their position based on the general merit of their abilities as opposed to strictly political or nepotistic considerations?
