Why has protectionism never worked?
It didn't? How do you think Venice and Genoa got so filthy rich?
>>814004
Except when it has.

It denies the increase in real wages, by driving up prices in home countries, and prevents increasing standards of living by stopping the setting up of jobs in foreign countries. It also stifles competition and prevents over all improvements in the economies.
Was he gay?
>>813939
Nope. He was not as you are, OP.
>>813939
Probably not but people who extremely lonely will do weird things to fight that loneliness so it wouldn't be impossible that he did some gay stuff
Was Booth a homophobe?
Can we talk about the Solutrean hypothesis?
I would love to but I dont know much about the theory itself, Isn't it about proto-indo Europeans migrating to north america?
>>813913
Yes
It's a hypothesis, end of discussion.
It's about on par with the black Olmec theory.
So what were you taught about Communism in school?
I remember quite clearly we got "Worked on paper, doesn't work in theory because they never took human nature into account" and then a overview of Stalins purges, Pol Pot's atrocities, How Reagan pulled down the Berlin Wall and Stalingrad.
I got A every year in History and literally didn't even know what the Russian Revolution was until several years after finishing High School.

Was the Catholic Church in the medieval era as 'No fun allowed' and dour as it's often portrayed as? Surely monks and priests didn't just depend on a community's piety to ensure their goodwill? What did the clergy contribute to a medieval community other than spiritual satisfaction and were they allowed to take part in and enjoy the various entertainments of the time?
Priests were probably even less restrained than today.
Medieval era was "no fun allowed" on fast days, but Sunday was a day to party, as well as feast days in general.

What are you talking about? Back then they only had sex with consenting adults.

Read the Canterbury Tales friendo
The clergy were pretty much normal people looking to make a buck, the clergyman who followed the rules and was holy and pious and whatnot was rare

>Much of Johnson's scholarship is built on the foundation of the Second Vatican Council, which urged members of the Catholic Church to overcome "every type of discrimination, whether social or cultural, whether based on sex, race, color, social condition, language or religion."[4]

While the theory do sound a lot like SJWism, there is one big difference I get.
This Catholic theory seems to think that the oppressed in one situation can be an oppressor in another one as well as vice versa.
Modern SJWS seems to have taken the thought that it is always always the white man that is the bad, Asians unable to oppress niggers and so on.
This is all well and good but I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. I don't think there's any reason to incorporate feminism into Christianity. Christ told us to love our neighbor as yourself unconditionally. What can feminism give us to help us do that? If anything feminism has driven a wedge between myself and many of my friends, in many ways because my faith has led me to be more conservative than people I voted for Obama with 4 years ago. What happens when intersectional Catholic feminism further divides the body of Christ against itself? Will female...

Why did no Revolutionary Terror take place after the American Revolution?
It seems to stand out from other Revolutions from the French, Roundheads, Russian, Chinese etc all where Revolutionary terror was implemented too solidify the position of the Revolutionaries.

>Why did no Revolutionary Terror take place after the American Revolution?
There was revolutionary terror.
It was just taken out on the Native Americans instead of the Anglo colonists.
Because the US revolted from a "foreign" power. They saw themselves as something other than English and did not contest this with eachother. Considerably, arguably the most important reason, was the lack of an ingrained conservatism or nobility that was present in other major revolutions such as the French or Russian
