Whats going on in this photo? Why are they fleeing?

North korea had decided to go full gomie and invade the u.n. proxy. The south korean government detonated the bridge to make sure there would be no rapid advance, but there was still a capital full of loyalists. Thousands of people tried to cross the river and most died. Havnt read up on what happened to the citizens of the capital, but going off how the war played out I assume the people that tried to stay in the city where all hamburgers by the end of the war.

Is this even a meme? Plenty of incidents over the years, especially if you include proxy states.

What's a plausible method of an administrative employee taking over a substantial mercantile business, either openly or covertly? Taking over in the sense of superseding their employer and owning the business themselves from that point onward. Are there any notable historical incidents that anyone could point me to where this occurs?
I figure even a family-owned company could be superseded from without if the employee in question marries into the family register and then successfully maneuvers themselves into the position of owner or inheritor of the company's assets.

Go read the legal history of 19th century British corporations law.
>>1093160
Noted. Got any suggestions in particular?
>>1093270
Responsibility of the director, partnership, false companies, director sell-out to director controlled firm, etc.
Basically every rort that a capitalist could play upon another capitalist was played in British company law in the 19th century.
Can anyone tell me about this hoplite statue?
I cannot seem to find any information or additional images of it
>>1093045
Never seen it before, or any statues like it.
I am curious too.

Huh you know I've only ever seen That statue from that picture

Just a shot in the dark, but is that supposed to be Pericles?
What is the difference between "Grecian", and "Hellenic"?
It's like the difference between coca-cola and soda.
Grecian is pertaining to all of ancient Greece. Hellenic refers to a particular time of Ancient Greece. Specifically after the death of Alexander the Great.
>>1092737
That's Hellenistic you fucking mong.

A reach around, iirc.
As someone who wasn't born into a religious environment, how do I find a religion or a style of spirituality that fits my personality? I've always been an atheist and consider myself too intelligent to simply believe in a sky wizard, but somehow I feel I'm lacking something to believe in or to give meaning to my life.
I tried reading the bible and the quran but I quickly got bored and put them away again. Same with some philosophers I started reading. I also attempted to build a purely scientific world view by studying quantum physics and learning how nature...

Join the church of Stirner. We're doing great.
>>1092488
>Has anyone here felt the same?
Somewhat. I was raised in a similar environment with the same feeling of superiority over the religious.
>How did you proceed?
Slowly. With patience and an open mind. You won't become a man with purpose overnight, it could take years.
I didn't just read religious scripture, I read books and listened to talks by people who follow and live the scripture. I can't say that I doubtlessly...

Why do you need purpose?
Which one was right?
Collins obviously
the one played by liam neeson obviously
Can someone please explain to me why Collins is loved more than De Valera, other than the fact that Collins looks like an absolute alpha, and Valera looks like a slimy fuck?
I mean, Collins supported the treaty that let Britain keep Ulster. Was this just the only practical solution, and De Valera was a foolish idealist?
″Humanity has often wept over the fate of the aborigines of this country and philanthropy has long been busily employed in devising means to avert it, but its progress has never for a moment been arrested, and one by one have many powerful tribes disappeared from the earth. … But true philanthropy reconciles the mind to these vicissitudes as it does to the extinction of one generation to make room for another. ... Philanthropy could not wish to see this continent restored to the condition in which it was found by our forefathers. What good man would prefer a country covered with forests and ranged by a few thousand savages to our extensive Republic, studded with cities, towns, and prosperous farms, embellished with all the improvements which art can devise or industry execute, occupied by more than 12,000,000 happy people, and filled with all the blessings of liberty, civilization, and religion?″
Was the Indian Removal Act inevitable, as Jackson seems to think, or was there an element of willful malevolence in it on his part? He was a life-long Indian fighter and had fought the Five Civilized Tribes several times, seizing land from them with each engagement. Does this single event tarnish his legacy as President?
>>1091298
I don't care about what Jackson did to the Indians.
I care that he made and violated treaties with the Indians in order to do what he did. Absolute terrible precedent, and diminished our country.
>>1091298
>Was the Indian Removal Act inevitable, as Jackson seems to think
Yes. If we didn't do it then, we would have done something similar (but not necessarily as heavy handed as Jackson did it) later. Or some other power would have taken the land.
>or was there an element of willful malevolence in it on his part?
Of course. Jackson had spent his life fighting Indians. Seeing them get their shit pushed in was what he'd wanted for ages. That's not to say he hated Indians, but he certainly wanted to see an end to their nations as entities.
>Does this single event tarnish his legacy as President?
No.
Jackson was a douche. That was his legacy. So no, this didn't diminish it. It was a part of it.
Why didn't the Japanese get sick when Europeans started coming to Japan?
they were immunized against the plague because they descended from asia
Nippon stronk
Because they weren't entirely isolated from Europe for any of their history. Nothing in the old world was, except maybe Australia and other isolated Oceanian loci.
Trade had been occurring indirectly between Japan and Europe for who knows how long. The Bubonic Plague, for example, came from somewhere in northern Asia.
Is it bullshit? How do you even go about arguing against this?
>Where is the ‘emptiness’ which precedes this empty cup?
Theory of Evolution sent the theory of forms straight to the trash can.
If rabbits are not static, then there is no rabbit-ness form from which they are derived.
Accept Aristotle as the one true philosophy and Aquinas as his messenger
>>1091163
I heard that Aristotle talks more shit than Plato does. When reading the Greeks, what should I take from them? The reasoning etc. Even if their arguments and up being proven wrong by history?
The age of exploration or the industrial revolution?
>>1091103
Industrial Revolution. The really are only two periods in human history. Before and after the Industrial revolution. It changed literally everything.
The invention of agriculture
Bismarck should have conquered Austria.
Austrians are a Germanic people.. Their language, life style, cuisine, music, and so on. Austrian culture is very much German, and core Austria could have been easily integrated into Germany.
Besides, Austria was a rich, powerful player in Europe, and deposing that country by annexing its core territories, and creating puppet states such as Hungary and Croatia in other territories then held by Austria, would geopolitically benefit the newly born German nation, in that Germany would directly control more resources (territory,...

How did Ancient Greeks do to get HUGE?
Surely they didn't have bench presses nor any kind of modern strength training apparatus, so what did they use appart from bodyweight training?
>>1090505
Rocks, logs, armour, arms.

Sports.

Rowing
They are always poorly organized,and even when they have better equipment and the numbers advantage they usually perfom horribly bad.

Blacks have had gangs in the USA for decades and not a single of these gangs have been exterminated yet by an opposition force.
Blacks are a clusterfuck when it comes to warfare as they barely strategize in fights thats why they shoot you but dont actually plan how the murder carefully leading to the ridiculous circumstances where a driveby shooting ends with NO ONE DEAD but MULTIPLE INJURED. Just as how they carelessly try to kill you they will also do this in war either mindlessly attack you or run away. Most...

You mean when most had stones and machetes at the most and we're largely undernourished peasants vs a highly trained and equipped militarized police and military population?
