Catholics have a history of being brutal.

There's nothing Christ-like about the dark Papacy and its satanic inquisitions, crusades and torture.

Would WWII have ended differently if the Germans started using this in late '43?

Bombing American cities isn't going to stop the Soviets or Anglos from taking your airfields on the ground, and any other number of cheaper designs would work fine if you were operating close to home. Germany would be better off sticking with conventional designs so P-38s don't start hitting your airfields, which is pretty much what they decided on in real life anyway.

How is any of this deviant? Pre-agricultural societies do this, so it's probably the "normal" state of affairs. Deviants are things like Afghans who only fuck boys

Slavs like to think that they are direct descendants of Scythians, Sarmatians, Khazars or any other nomadic people of former Northern Persia.

Why didn't Spanish, French, or Portuguese become global languages like English?
105 posts and 11 images submitted.
>>
>>940929
Because English people have all the money, if you want to make money on an international scale you have to speak English.

The business language is what dictates the world language.
>>
>>940929

French was a "global language" for longer than English has been. That's why another name for "global language" is literally "lingua franca."
>>
>Spanish and French
>not global languages
They're spoken on every continent, what more do you want?

No. I'm pretty sure every strand of anarchism or "anarchism" has tried to claim him.
>>
No. His work pretty explicitly rejects their notion of property rights, which are utterly central to anarcho-capitalism.
>>
>>962524
Not really, given that he wasn't a capitalist; he believed that property rights didn't exist and that the only "legitimate" authority was force, not an inherent ownership of property. Individualist anarchism definitely influenced anarcho-capitalism though.

Is there any reason for why Japanese screens always portray people as if they're losing their shit?
14 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
Japanese art uses a lot of exaggeration. Especially when it comes to expression. They use a lot of extremes and it can be seen in a bit of their culture as well.

One lesson to learn is the inherent difference between how we view balance in the west and how they view balance. To us when you have two extremes, finding balance means meeting in the middle to find harmony. While in Japanese culture it's about representing both extremes at the same time and they will find balance in juxtaposition.

Because of this you find a seemingly strange and almost contradictory culture in Japan on every side of any given view.

But i guess that's a little off topic. The point is, Nips don't do things in half measures. To express themselves in any form of art, extremes are used to express themselves. Which is in contrast to how they display themselves in public. Once again, juxtaposition.

If you pay attention to japanese poetry and theater you'll find the same trend as in their paintings.
>>
Actually i know the answer to this, there is a specific expression for valor in eastern culture. Bulging eyes and general angry expression.

Opened up reactions with china, which is a big fucking deal. He was a strong president but his paranoia was too much for him.

Nixon was the last Republican president to care for the average joe. He founded the EPA and brought in work safety standards. The only reason he was vilified was that he kept the Vietnam War going till he got the ceasefire South Nam wanted and the new press needed a scapegoat to justify their existence.

That, and that thing where he had a group of thugs illegally wiretap the DNC HQ. Singlehandly destroying any remaining public trust in the Federal government.

Yugoslavia originally signed the Tripartite treaty allying herself with the Axis powers in March 25, 1941.

Eternal Anglo instigated a coup, and the government was overthrown by Pro-Western factions in the military on March 27, 1941.

Why didn't the US nuke the Soviet Union before they got nukes themselves?

Why would they?
>>
>>959511
To defeat communism? The Soviet Union was a powerful threat to the US.
>>
Because the US did not yet have the capacity to manufacture nukes at a fast enough rate to obliterate the Soviet Union; most wargames of 'Operation Unthinkable' play out with a Soviet victory/stalemate even after several atomic bombs have been dropped.

Furthermore, the US - the west in general - was incredibly war-weary. Truman would have been committing electoral suicide if he started another war.

Uneducated opinion, but probably easy since the italian people came out having swapped sides and the german gov't(s) was different too.

Why did the italians hang Mussolini while the Germans had no mass revolt?

They didn't have allied forces to help the uprising I guess.
