  1.  @jrton1366  anarchists are just garden variety gangsters, and I don'trecall anyone here damning the idea of governments. Lose the political compass falacy, there's no way to categorize people's BS.

  6. Technically, Hebrew is more related to Classic Arabic than any modern dialect the Arabs speak. But don't tell them that.

  7. Left and right are only relevant to each other within a given government. For instance, the Erdogan regime in Turkey criminalizes gays, intervenes in economics regularly, and have some state-run enterprises and yet is considered centrist. The reason? In Turkey, "conservative" means Islamist, while "liberal" means Americanized.

  9.  @catmate8358  there's nothing right nor left about extremists. All these goons just said anything necessary to get people to obey. And these were all self-described socialists (I'll let you decide who is "real" socialists and who was fake). NAZI is the German acronym for National Socialist Party and the Fascists full name called them anarcho-socialists. Noteworthy is both these parties did forcibly nationalize all major businesses like the reds. They also created state mandated prices and required public infrastructure like rails to only charge enough to cover costs and not for profit. Thus according to many people, the Fascists, Communists, and Nazis had more in common with each other than they did anything else.

  12. Another effect math doesn't account for is friendship. It doesn't take a genius to figure out a team of serial killers would collapse immediately no matter how skilled they are since any one of them will sacrifice the others to save himself. However, a literal band of brothers lead by their father will just fight harder as you pick off their number. This applies on a large scale as well, as unified nations form armies that function much smoother than armies formed by large coalitions of states.

  13. Most US politicians didn't want to "weeken Britain" as much as they wanted to promote peace, democracy, and independence of small nations regardless how flatly contradictory these goals were.

  14. They're reclusive enough they're generally the same people, though. For instance, Ms. Ivanka Trump "converted" to Judaism because her boyfriend's parents disapproved of their engagement. Religion seems to mean nothing to her, though, and this is not the norm.

  15.  @georgesmith1127  Not if you know anything

  16.  @bustercrabbe8447  No, they're GENERALLY the same people. As in most of the people who practice the religion were taught by their parents. Some people leave the religion, some people marry into it, and by that means they begin to resemble the surrounding population.

  17.  @bustercrabbe8447  That Nazis didn't give a rip about religion, they gave a rip about race.

  20. The thing about history on Reddit is that even the mods on AskHistorians lack any history qualifications but will still remove everything they didn't write with condescending remarks and no explanation what the problem is.

  21. History is boring? Not if you skip to the exciting bits about murder, piracy, and explosions.

  22. Calling anyone pro- this or that when all the people involved in the war are dead or invalids is pretty retarded.

  23. So? There was no reform agenda in the US, the DoD was just filling out production quotas by any means necessary.

  24. Jews back then generally identified with a certain town and its incomprehensible dialect of Yiddish rather than any country.

  25. I can't be the armchair general and say what I would do. I know due to hindsight the best action for the Germans at that point was to pull out of the city and find a softer target. But there was no way for the Germans to know that, so whatever happened simply happened.

  29. @ Excuse me, little boy. But annoying grown ups about important matters will get you doxxed and disemboweled. Now pipe down and enlist in the army so we can make a man out of you and you'll finally have a chance of having sex.

  33. Hitler's faction didn't start badmouthing Communism until Operation Barbarosa was being planned. And if you'll recall the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pack they had been sometime allies up until that point. The time in question is when Hitler was a nobody in politics and jockeying to become head of any sort of political party he could. Recall his career started when some workers rights baffoons offered him a job as a soapbox orator, an offer Hitler considered a tirning point in his life.

  36. The main reason for the misconception is Americans will complain about their own leadership no matter what they do

  40. Unconditional surrender only applied in select areas. However, the guys that pretended to hate said policy were also refusing to fight (including many high ranking officers).

  43. I have no idea who he's affiliated with, but modern politics is loaded with absurd comparison

  44.  @albertofernandez2490  TIK is aggressively Libertarian, not an anarchist. The story is he comes from a Socialist family so this is his idea of rebelling again the norm

  45.  @albertofernandez2490  various things TIK said, I don't recall which videos.

  46. We want to believe it. Economics says minimal regs are most efficient, but we'll follow this idiot and intervene however we feels like anyway.

  47. When it comes to bullshit, the liar is always guilty of the things they accuse others of. Either they genuinely think everyone does it, or they want to justify their own crimes they're plotting to themselves and others.

  48. As if you can't access the same classes for a fraction the price by buying great courses series off Audible.

  49.  @openeroftheway8596  most of the price is paying a guy to grade your work and issue a certificate. The majors where this isn't true are also majors that have real world use

  50. Are they also run by the illuminati or is that your way of saying you don't fully understand the Fed's reports?
