Whenever someone wrongs you all the self-help/self-improvement books and gurus tell that you should "let it go" and don't let it consume you.

But if I let it go doesn't that mean the guy who wronged me ultimately wins?

no

people with the competence to exploit others also have the competence to get better returns from something less destructive. the ones that bother you are the ones who are short-sighted and optimistic about their own ability.

they'll self-destruct and you win by not getting involved.

there are also more direct mechanisms that have to do with society basically liking conformity. the less you are like a hostile person the more the other stands out.

Anything. Could be a simple thing like someone insulting you - he feels better about himself and you feel shitty for the rest of the day.

So I should just assume the person will keep wronging other people and will make a mistake along the way?

It was a pretty good tank in of itself. People often claim that it was over engineered but a lot of this was due to the Panthers relative age during the war. On later models after Kursk more technical problems were eventually ironed out. The Panther was postponed since Hitler demanded major modifications such as more armor. This delayed the Panther and if it wasn't then it would seen action earlier in the war probably have been more effective.

Why did a civilization never develop around the Mississippi river in North America the same way that Egypt developed around the Nile, China developed around the Yangtze, etc.?

Why didn't any of the to-be Allied counties do anything when it was revealed in 1935 that Germany was rearming, breaking the treaty of Versailles?

I mean, I get that they wanted to avoid instigating another war, but wasn't it well over apparent that the German rearmament was preparing for just that anyway?
>>
>>1417404
>>1417346
Probably because they had just lost 25% of their male population over the course of 4 years well within living memory and didn't want to deal with that shit again. No one wanted war in 1936 and no one wanted war in fucking 1939.
>>
>>1417420
plus they weren't ready for another war and though that if they just let Hitler do whatever he wants, he might stop at some point.

Religion hs been with us from the start, why do people today think its suddenly passe?

As if that mattered. Christianity was debunked in Galileo's time. No reason to believe in it anymore if truth is what you're looking for. People obviously are religious for a different reason.
