  1. It's quite sad that she died so young, also I'd say that it's probably not a great mystery why he didn't care about her ancestry, he was likely just personally fond of her and given that she was a child without a father and he a man without a child it is fairly easy to see how they might have become attached to each other.

  2. I won't comment on my personal life as I live in Britain and what I think could land me in prison. Never let them tell you that 'democracy' can't be tyranny.

  3. Ironically English casualties during civil wars were always noted to be extremely low compared to those on the continent (including those on the continent England itself was involved in), the English were noted as well fed, peaceful and relatively lawful and as having an enthusiasm for music which did not at all reflect in their skill at it. The Englishman abroad however had a far less tranquil image.

  4. Good. That's what's needed.

  5. Honestly the fact that she would do this for kicks while having a husband and child says more about her than anything else. Also the I didn't tell my husband but I knew he would understand because he's a logical guy is a hell of a take, I am usually opposed to divorce but I'd say this would be a justifiable cause for one. Frankly something is telling me that it is an extremely dysfunctional family, and practically everything she says raises red flags. Pretty disturbing all round.

  6. It's noted that grooming gangs have already started in Japan, led by Kurds mostly, and yes their police have proven just as cowardly as our own.
    559
  7. I preferred the Chinese when they were comically racist.
    554
  8. Cannons probably damaged the walls with their recoil, which is why they used them at first outside of them, this was a problem in Europe as well and would have required redesign and reconstruction of ramparts.
    549
  9. The Tasmanians were wiped out by disease and the British authorities actively tried to save them. It became a controversy in Victorian England which is why it's a prominent example for people who don't know what they are talking about.

  10. People tended to network within their profession, she was probably the daughter of the executioner he apprenticed under.

  12. This is one of the most hilarious 'do by this year' government plans I've ever heard of.

  13. Great to see Jason Clower being referenced, his channel is fantastic.

  14. One of the female archetypes is of the witch, crone, or resentful woman basically. Even in medieval times giving children to the care of childless women was seen as potential dangerous as women very often harm each other out of envy, and will target the objects of said envy. I believe great expectations had a character based on the archetype.

  15. Rhodesia would have a considerable migrant crisis due to having the most highly advanced economy in Africa and ironically also for holding the best living standards for Black Africans in Africa. It would have considerable tensions with the west due to a commitment to 19th century values and would likely see white immigration disproportionately from disenfranchised right wing westerners. Due to all this it would likely ironically have a close relationship to China who would have less ideological issues with the country even if Rhodesia itself likely would be a lot colder towards cooperation due to the hatred of communism. The place was a regional power even with the world against them so they undoubtedly would still be one. The amount of hatred for them in the west would be almost unimaginably as they would be a physical representation of the things that are currently demonized by the left, it wouldn't help that they would be the one of the most notable and powerful countries in Africa in large part simply by the fact of white leadership, and like Israel they would likely have a very impressive military which totally outmatchs all local threats combined despite being massively outnumbered. Nukes would also piss off America to no end as they won't be able to get involved in their usual nonsense. If apartheid still ended in South Africa guess where all the whites, Indians and Black minorities would go, South Africa would probably be even worse than it is without them. I'll go out on a limb and say that they would probably also be the only country to official recognise Somaliland.

  16. We are in a migration period like the one which ended Rome, one facilitated by our elite and far more dangerous to our civilisation, the Germans were after all mostly Christian, and they adopted the old power structures. What we are looking at is not just subjugation but oblivion.
    195
  17. King's and general's literally did something on the unlikelyhood of the Genghis Khan thing the other day.
    170
  18. The English certainly weren't knife friendly in the past, basically every man carried a knife but pulling one in a fight (or ganging up on someone) was seen as French and dishonorable, instead they liked to sock each other in the face like boxers (but without any of the prancing around), fights were pretty culturally normalised but people did their best not to do serious damage as if you killed someone chances were you'd be hanged.
    165
  19. I recommend the Japanese manga 'A Bride's Tale' which is set in historical central Asia and contains a lot of information about the culture, dress and social systems that are not widely available in English. It also has some of the most beautiful art, as the author has a very keen eye for detail and an intricate style.
    159
  20. So the US Military email safety net is literally some Dutch guy who's sick of being spammed with potentially sensitive information. If was him I'd feel I'd earned that Russian mansion and early retirement on the black sea coast.
    156
  21. You underestimate the incompetence and poor intentions of our political class though perhaps not as much as they themselves do.
    156
  22. Hanging could last upwards of 40 minutes...so yeah...

  23. The authorities in Egypt won't get their cut from the tomb robbers if they let the archaeologists get to these sites first.

  24. A good few Indians owned slaves and most of the rest had no shortage of bones to pick with the federal government.
    141
  25. A brave quasi-women being untoward towards children, colour me surprised!
    139
  26. The clickbait is getting annoying, you put a totally different thing in the title to any of what you say in the video. It seriously undermines your credibility.
    135
  27. The fundamental mistake in these is thinking that anyone has the intention of solving these problems through the institutions who made them. This is like responding to the prospect of socialism in 1890's Russia by saying 'I'm not sure the emperor would do that, and he has support from state institutions, the orthodox church and peasants, like 80% of the population of Russia are peasants, nothing will happen, this is all because people are overly within their revolutionary movements'.
    134
  28. 'Should the right have cancel culuture' no, the right should have basic human decency culture. Being a nonce revokes your humanity membership as well as infringing of the basic decency clause.
    133
  29. Broken families and divorce also mean you need twice as many houses.
    128
  30. It's good to have children and bad to be replaced.
    126
  31. He wasn't even by his own standards. He was a terrible military leader, destroyed the Empire and strengthened the Soviets. The guy was a narcissistic drunkard, and only a leader in the sense of being a worse one than King John.
    123
  32. I know sociology is basically a joke subject but I think social factors are very relevant to this subject. Unfortunately I doubt there are many non communists who will come at it from that angle due to the monopoly of and association with sociologists (who are basically just priests of Marxism). It is a very major concern as it means the right is lacking in a very relevant area of explanation and understanding and endangers us to an entirely materialist perspective.
    122
  33. Some sort of remigration will, whether it's the muslims moving back to a Turkish or Persian dominated middle east, or the Germanic people's moving back to Russia. But the two groups together are like Turks and Greeks. This issue we have now is that the people who created the situation remain in power.

  36. Less communism.

  37. It would be hilarious if someone actually donates £2 million via the website and the lotus eaters are forced to make a based ai.

  38. Rousseau is absolutely key, he inverted the Christian moral system (sin is natural and virtue oppressive), stated that nature was good, wished to destroy social bonds and changed the meaning of freedom from freedom from the passions to freedom to do as you please. He created the utopian vision all left wing movements have been chasing ever since. When I talk to a left wing intellectual I hear Rousseau cited much more often than any other of these figures, Plato is old lamps for new, Rousseau is the future envisioned.
    107
  39. This is very blackpilling, a justification of a catastrophically failing system. My Grandparents married at 20, my parents at 30, only one person I know is getting married. You can equivocate all you want, and I agree that the manosphere tends towards the demented, but we are facing a real social and moral crisis, we need radical change based on proven models (e.g. Return to tradition), not a complacent slide into more of the same values ripping our civilisation to sorry tatters.
    105
  40. Lol, Ed was forceful and direct enough to sedate Miles and bring him out of the unhinged memelord state that he uses as a persona.
    104
  41. Hope there will be more videos on the Assyrians and Persians, they have little on them in the English speaking world.

  42. This is important, upload the whole interview free.

  43. Both sides have been expending their older population first (the ones trained as conscripts back during the Soviet days and near to retirement), Russia has also been using minorities.
    93
  44. They should relocate to Russia, and then respond to all subsequent legal ruling by laughing.
    92
  45. The reason why the Pakistanis in particular are a point of tension is massive child abuse rings run by them that the police covered up and the legal system gave joke sentences for. As this is ongoing and targets the working class the resentment is beyond considerable. Understandably the grievances are immense.
    92
  46. If Carl is entering party politics then I'll be right behind him.
    89
  47. The issues around the cost of education in Japan are probably a major motivating factor for many of the younger people in entering the industry (especially for university students) but just as much for married women entering it (cram schools aren't free after all nor is their husband's job necessarily as stable as in prior decades). I imagine a lessening of the burden of education fees would lead to manpower shortages in the sector as well as raising the birth rate by making the pooling of resources in fewer children less necessary.
    87
  48. Expect that to come back, universities are having quite a lot of focus on coming up with reasons to get round or ignore it.
    82
  49. Karl Marx was given asylum here, he had been kicked out of Germany twice, the first time in the request of the Tsar of Russia as he liked to cloak his writings as being patriotic by going on about the Russians, he was kicked out of France on the request of the King of Prussia and out of Belgium after they got sick of him. The continental intelligence services gave the British transcripts of the socialists in exile in Britain planning the assassination of Queen Victoria at a meeting, but the British never acted on it, or numerous other crimes and disorders they committed. The British establishment being liberal always had sympathies to their more radical brothers, also Marx was incredibly well connected through family ties to very wealthy and influential Jewish families, who he would beg for money from, though he was rabidly anti-Semitic, and to German nobility through his wife, who hated him for the fact of being a lowlife, through he always tried to live like a noble, whatever his actual means (which were considerable but never enough for such a lifestyle as he was workshy to the point of absurdity, ironically actual nobles did work, usually in government, the military or the management of their property, Marx had trouble writing his drivel and was commonly literal decades behind on work he promised), he also hated nobles despite thinking he deserved to live like the worst of them.
    81
  50. Surprised you got your hands on him before lotus eaters did.

  51. That's simply what women do, it's why historically they were the most conservative section of society, it also makes them the easiest group to influence, as there isn't much depth to what they do. It does mean that control over media and education are far more powerful simply because dissidents won't be able to get married unless they organise their own sub-society with different internal social expectations (which hadn't happened yet apart from some holdout groups of Christians).
    80
  52. What a curse on the bloodline. Thank God William is heir.
    80
  53. Most people actually make between 20-30k a year, and are on tax credits. The average wage it brought up a good bit by the people making tons, but that's mostly in London, either in Banking or the state sector.
    79
  54. He dissed himself into the century of humiliation.

  55. Youth poverty is hitting worldwide. My country has similar but different problems.
    76
  56. To be fair 23k for a house is worth it, she got a good few decades out of the place, don't see what there is to complain about. I guess it's that she can't sell it for enough to buy a new one.
    75
  57. Birthrates are largely a reflection of the social infrastructure of said groups. The Amish have 8 children per women, one can't exactly argue that it is due to the great prosperity of pre-industrial economics. When people said money they mean support and security, and despite what they say these largely can't be brought at a price other than the social context they live within. Social atomization causes low birthrates, economics is a secondary factor.
    75
  58. What a surprise. Next we'll be hearing that birds have wings. All the best to the lady, but she should never have married him in the first place.
    74
  59. It is almost certain that Germany would still lose despite the consensus in popular culture, which is largely shaped by the fact that a very similar timeline is not as interesting. If anything the British and French would have been considerably strengthened post-war by the lack of American interference, though in Britain at least the leadership was still terminally stupid so no doubt would have still cocked up a considerable amount.
    74
  60. Real shame to see all those old webleys, with a great deal of family meaning and history no doubt, being handed in to be destroyed.
    72
  61. The thing with education is that zoomers were basically miseducated by the state but with the internet the curious one's very often are very knowledgeable and much wiser than the TV generation. The women however are still tv generation and so the maleducation shows, apart from the autistic one's and the Christian's. As a zoomer I must say I have absolutely no incentive to work within the system and every to destroy it. As a Christian such is a moral imperative on top. I would rather have 12 century living standards than no future, as a young guy sacrifice is a responsibility and the current establishment has earned a blood vendetta from their actions against me and mine, the priority is our existence as a people, not the ability to work within a system that actively hates and persecutes me. Who cares what women think they are creatures of society, they shift to social norms, who cares about money, it is an liability when the bandits come. What we need is organisation, direction and training. The old world is not worth preserving, let's build something new on the models of the past, we need saints and martyrs not self-help advice and platitudes.
    70
  62. It is important to note that Japan is not an outlier among developed countries with its birth rate, Europe has very similar one's. The thing that makes it distinct is that it does not engage in mass immigration and then pretend the problem doesn't exist. Let's be clear immigration is not a long term solution to demographic issues but much like bringing people into a ponzi scheme despite the fact that it's what western experts generally recommend to Japan, as birth rates are falling worldwide becoming a demographic black hole will only work so long and could be considered immoral for siphoning off skilled people from countries that desperately need them for any hope of internal improvements as well as having been the ones funding the education that western countries will take advantage of. On top of this a lot of the cover in a paper thin veneer, here in Britain living standards are declining rapidly but immigration (notably including illegal) are encouraged in order to pump the GDP figures and give the illusion that we aren't in a major recession, we also have the problem of cheap labour being used in place of technological advancement. This in not going into the many many other negatives. In short solutions at the ground level are vital and only real solutions will be able to fix such difficult issues. Personally I would recommend getting rid of government pensions as all they do is hide the fact that people need children to pay for them in old age. Likewise the modern dating system is not fit for purpose and indeed in the Japanese context seems to conflict badly with the culture and attitude of the population. Ideology which promotes and justifies family will also likely be necessary, in Japan this was traditionally fulfilled by Confucianism and the the West Christianity, people after all tend to act off what they believe in.
    70
  63. They are raiders, basically just bandits with a country.
    69
  64. Too be fair the behaviour of many westerners even within their own country isn't great, in a country with higher trust and standards like Japan a lot will be guilty. As for non-westerners, let's just say the the exponential increase in every kind and severity of problem within the West as been fuelled by something other than the zoomer generation receiving a useless education. Honestly I'm not sure it's wise to be influenced but any foreigners, but you should avoid letting some in at all costs.
    69
  65. Spot on, now is the time for action, not handringing or posturing.
    68
  66. It has been Armenian for thousands of years, Azerbaijan has existed for a fraction of the time that they have lived on that territory. It is a shame on all Christian nations that we abandon our own when convenient rather remembering our duties before God. One thousand years ago such violations sparked the Crusades, today we suffer much greater insult and yet capitulate to evil, daneguld has ever reaped only further trouble.
    68
  67. I remember a case here in the UK. Several criminals staged a home invasion and held a family and some of their relatives at knifepoint, the homeowners complied as they ransacked the house until the men decided to try and r*pe their young teenaged daughter, the criminals were soon overpowered and attempted to flee but one was slow and got caught in the garden whereupon he got knocked around with a cricket bat. He sustained brain damage and as such faced no punishment, several of the male family members present got prison sentences (and pretty ungenerous ones by the standards of the British justice system) and the known criminal is still a sack of sh*t to this day, regularly committing crimes with impunity as the police claim he is mentally incapable and thus isn't culpable for his actions, no matter what those are or how frequently they occur.
    67
  68. Stalinists would claim he was democratic, this is because he was channelling the popular will through his person. Thus as a monarch was the representation of heavenly patriarchy upon the earth, Stalin embodied the democratic will of the proletariat. This is a fairly easy reframing of the Rousseauean popular will, and the original idea is equally somewhat abstracted from what those who make up the people might actually want, a lot of talk of democracy in socialist circles often ignore the actual nature and interests of the population, and thus there is a lot of 'democratic' imposing of a certain social order and political settlement favourable to those 'democratising' the society in their image. Democracy always comes as part of an ideological package.
    62
  69. Spoke to an Irishman, he said Ireland would willingly rejoin the union if it was to start a crusade.
    60
  70. Always was.
    60
  71. As a European the death of liberalism, the revival of traditional Christianity and a global crusade against Islam is 100% necessary to our survival as a people and culture. I can't talk of the horrors that have been inflicted upon us on this platform but lets just say I wasn't surprised by what happened in Israel. May God forgive us of our grave sins (facilitating liberalism and it's accompanying evils like mass infanticide, moral degeneracy and rule by the irresponsible and immoral), let us return to Kings, Glory, Beauty and Christ. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, be merciful to me a sinner.
    59
  72. A number of things completely missed (did Josh not even look at his wiki page). He is friends of Curtis Yarvin, and has stated his support for Yarvins ideas though he disavowed monarchy as the political future of the US. He also has referenced Carl Schmitt when talking about the function of the organs of state. So no he is not just a slightly more right wing Trump, he is openly present in and influenced by the more mainstream parts of the dissident right. That probably makes him the most right wing republican politician in America, as well as among the most revolutionary, just in the opposite direction of other revolutionaries within the American political system. He said that Ukraine needs to accept territorial concessions and make peace. He did not get married in a Catholic Church 5 years before he would convert. He was raised religious, as a protestant evangelical, he became atheist as and adult before converting to Catholicism under the intellectual influence of Rene Girard (a French rightist Catholic Philosopher) and St Thomas Aquinas. He in involved with the Dominican order and goes to their order's mass, in other words he is a Latin mass Tradcath. All of these bore mentioning.
    59
  73. Argentinean longbowmen have entered the chat!
    59
  74. In terms of daughter, I would first want to know why and if I had raised them so poorly, but if they couldn't give a good reason I would disown them. In terms of wife there are almost no excuses, the lies would be the nail in the coffin of it, I am not typically one to support divorce (especially ones so flippantly undertaken as many seem now) but in such a case I not sure other options are open. If one has financial problems you discuss it together otherwise why call yourself family. This might sound old fashioned but I would rather the people I care about don't go to university than pay for it in such a way. People who act in such a way without pay I might as well add are to my mind worse, they demean themselves the same without even asking for recompense, in my country such most university students are in such a category (and yes both sexes, manwhores are if anything worse, as they must put effort into their actions or else have standards such that they are demeaning themselves to an even greater degree).
    59
  75. Giving this charlatan a platform to advertise. He clearly thinks your audience is his target demographic.
    57
  76. The face of evil is a grin.
    57
  77. Russian propaganda about centuries old dynastic claims by historical monarchs? History as a concept must really challenge you.
    57
  78. Half of many developed countries GDP is made up of government spending, it's taxes, as well as immigration and women entering the workforce driving down wages, financial inequality has got worse sure but not at a scale large enough to explain the shift in living standards. Things like interest rates are also basically hidden taxes.
    57
  79. I preferred it when the death cultists went on about the imminent return of Christ rather than making up predictions about the weather.
    57
  80. It's not really contestable, homogenous societies are much stronger and safer.
    56
  81. As a Brit this concept is laughable, we are in a recession, the only thing stopping it from being an official one is that the population is increasing faster than the GDP, yes this means GDP per capita is deflating, GDP is a measure of money moving around, the government policy with immigration is to take debts to pay for these people, e.g. we are in a situation worse than a recession to avoid one, we are basically living on pay day loans to cover our credit cards and our solution is to rack up more. People here are very unhappy, we deindustrialised decades ago and continue to be totally hairbrained in economic policy, we are shutting down our last steel factories. We literally dynamited our coal power stations and now are reliant for energy on the Dutch, this is why ours is more expensive than Germany's. Decades ago we wreaked rail infrastructure and currently roads are becoming disrepaired as well, and our politicians are responding by undermining the poor transportation we have for not being green. Outside of London much of the country is economically worse off than eastern europe, housing is at such ridiculous prices that it covers most of the genuine poverty from view, also given house prices it is very clear the young will never own homes or get pensions, the price of houses puts them above the inheritance tax threshold and means that 40% of everything their parents own will go to the state, also as the focus of our healthcare (other than absorbing a budget that could single handedly run both sides of the Ukraine war and have room left over for building a bridge to France out of aircraft carriers) is keeping old people alive you will be in your 60's by the time you get it, not exactly prime childbearing years. Our politicians and state institutions are ludicrously corrupt, and show incredible animus towards the population. Criminals are allowed to run rampant but political dissidents and victims who fight back are crushed like beetles. America is not a friend, our political class need to grow up, France is a better friend as they at least tell what they think of us to our face. Politically this country is terrible, there are not political options, both sides are students of Tony Blair. There is nothing democratic about our system, it is a corrupt and tyrannical oligarchy, we have an unelected foreigner as Prime Minister, the guy was planning to leave for the US prior to being installed as viceroy. I'm probably being far to positive, I can't describe the contempt shown towards the population of this country by those with power over it. They proudly tell us that we will be a minority in our homeland by 2060, then they arrest those who say it back to them. It is beholden on us to foster contempt, cultivate strength and bide time, we need to organise against everything this country has come to stand for, and bring back our homeland of old, one of high culture, morality, virtue and strength.
    54
  82. "Armies don't start wars, politicians do" Have you ever heard the tale of Imperial Japan?
    54
  83. As someone currently on an education BA this is unbelievably important and far more serious than most yet understand.
    53
  84. Hungarians are Mongolians but with a somehow even more nonsensical language. Russians are culturally Mongol slavs (with a historically Germanic leadership) cosplaying as the late Roman empire. Or maybe they are just the Roman Empire: stepp nomad edition, it's hard to tell.
    51
  85. Yeah, a lot of people who are teachers shouldn't really be let near children, I can say that first hand being on an education degree. Most of them don't even like kids in the first place, which was a shock to the system when I got there, also the state of the academic side is hard to put into words, I'm not sure a single scrap of it could be salvaged, or should be. I won't be going into the profession, and I will homeschool as if my life depends on it. It is very sad that so many children are shunted through such a dysfunctional system. It's not like people in the past didn't already know how to educate people and they had to build something like they have.
    50
  86. It's not just the female population. I'm a man in my 20's and ever since looking after my much younger siblings when I was younger I have had the intense desire to start a family. If it wasn't for our horrible culture which makes finding suitable partners impossible I would probably already have six or more children. I want as many children as possible (20+?) and my children to give me as many grandchildren as possible. On the contrary I find promiscuity disgusting and have had very mild sexual interest compared to what others seem to have. I react to children differently to how I do to everyone else. I am not a happy go lucky sort (people joke that I'm a Victorian, an old man or a vampire), but when around children I am always cheerful, happy, have endless patience (I have that anyway but in the lazy sense) and don't tire out (I go from sleeping 10 hours plus to not needing sleep and I feel better for it). I can't wait (no like seriously I can't, which is why I thought it sounded like what you were describing in women) to find someone who is also a bit mad (not actually, I want my children to have the happy upbringing I never did) and wanting to devote their life to raising a large family. Women are so lucky to be able to give birth and to be expected to raise them instead of working in some deadend tortuous career.
    50
  87. Because they were asking if a foreign measurement system should be imposed and he as a man who had fought in the war and had seen the imposition of many things without the say of the British public felt umbrage at it, and like his service had counted for nothing.
    50
  88. Objective truth does exist but it is not reachable by man, we can only persevere to get closer to it.
    50
  89. It should be noted that the profile of midwives who harm children is deranged (kind of redundant), asocial (by female standards), childless, lesbians. It should be mentioned that giving children to the care of young girls is very positive as it fosters maternal instinct (though even young girls can fit the archetype it will typically be around ideology or sexual abuse rather than childlessness), it's the inability or failure to live up to the thing they envy that makes them want to despoil it. I would say that this is basically the evilest inherent trait among women, as they will perpetrate and spread their trauma maliciously rather than protecting others from their own mistakes and the horrible things inflicted on them, this is what makes things like trans ideology and feminism so dangerous among women, it doesn't need to feed off any genuine merits but rather can do so off the results of it's own destructive effects.
    49
  90. That is dependent on us stopping his vision becoming established in Europe.
    49
  91. Education is a major problem, it either needs to be heavily reformed (which won't happen, there aren't enough people with the skills to run a better version), or abolished (just in terms of state mandated education), which would work better for some than others, like anything.
    49
  92. Typical Royal Mail that the death threat arrived late.
    49
  93. The ethnic hatred of many of the Bolsheviks towards Russians should be considered, almost all the leadership were not ethnically Russian and the people brought in to suppress the population were a mix of imperial minorities, latvians and Chinese, while the officer class in these groups was heavily of the same background as the Bolsheviks. You might not focus on ethnic interests but many historical groups did as you know. In the civil war the red army was far more representative to Russia due to conscription and the forced induction of tsarist officers than many of the core organs of the party. It should however be mentioned that what happened was not part of any wider plan, the provisional government likely came in with western support but the second revolution was due to the provisional government being so incompetent that the bar for launching a coup was low enough to be below the water table (less far than you think in st Petersburg). Most of these people were also internationalist, Russians were expendable, they sacrificing class enemies in order to bring together the communists of the world movement was natural thinking into the 20's. Doesn't help that they were individually horrible and revolting people usually, especially the party old guard.

  94. I'd call declaring Cyrus the Great a messiah a bit more than a thank you card. I'm sure he'd appreciate it's effect on historiography as he was always a man attentive to his image.

  95. A great deal of it was the sort of stuff you could only find in the storage area of an old library, and thus wouldn't even know of without it being in your internet search results. A good deal is frankly unavailable to any normal person without the archive, which is probably the reasoning to get rid of it.

  97. You are forgetting one thing, anger. Any lapse in power by central authority is likely to result in total chaos. Not an organised rebellion with the aim of a coup, but rather a massive free for all in which at least 1\3 of the population will die. Alliances will shift, many will support whoever gives them the ability to predate on the population. Such a conflict would lead to immediate issues in the provinces of empire, most of which are even less secure than the US. On top of this it is in the interest of practically all competitors and non-US nationalist factions to support a conflict. A large portion of the western population have not genetic future, such people launch hopeless rebellions exactly because the outcome is the same if they lose as if they do nothing. I agree that an organised response is needed, but given the culture of the US and the soft power of the intelligence agencies I very much doubt much will be successfully built before the slide into kinetic dispute. That said war and domestic terrorism are far more likely in the short term. But we should expect things to take many unpredictable turns.

  98. Have observed first hand, I was on a placement were one teacher really liked controlling the children, they were hushed constantly to ensure they couldn't talk and she was their sole mediator, she would also interrupt and cut them off when they answered back her questions. Her cover teacher constantly shouted (as in properly shouted) instead of talking to them properly and constantly asserted dominance over a bunch of 8 year olds, despite this she was the far more popular of the two as she would actually listen and didn't just ride roughshod over them all. The amount of horrible gossip was the worst I've ever seen anywhere, I was genuinely surprised they felt free to say such things out loud let alone in someone else's presence literally the moment the kids were out the door and with every possibility the the person they were talking about would just walk in. Homeschool, homeschool, homeschool. As someone within the system I can't emphasise enough that it is an absolute necessity, kids can't judge what is dodgy for themselves, you will not hear back the vast majority of the things going on, the twisting will only become apparent when they grow up and embody it.

  99. The Copts. Muslims took one of the richest areas of the world and turned it into a backwater, Egypt is notable as apart from a stint under the British it's been horribly misruled for well over a millennia now. That's a country with frankly blessed geography, many other places went from echos of the garden of Eden to deserts as the muhammadans failed to maintain or restore to complex irrigation networks that made it possible. All their wealth comes from oil and foreign aid from idiots who insist on feeding the wolf at their door. At least the Chinese put the work in to become a rival, the middle east is just a biological bomb that our ancestors were wise enough to contain with violence.

  100. A. It doesn't seem to be happening, the opposite in fact. B. At least one cause is it being pushed as deliberate policy in order to divide the society and import a cheap workforce, so no. C. This is not a plague, it's nearly or more damaging over the long term but it's not like shortage of labour is going to be an actual problem (see above), likewise it is very apparent that many traps are in place to gather up the wealth as the more prosperous generations leave us, one is inheritance tax but basically every other component of western economies is structured around asset stripping the generational wealth the boomers still hold. I predict the intention is serfdom, not anything positive, and without a popular revolt led by well organised and coordinated rebel elite, not to mention well funded, then they will get what they want because humans are compliant with power when isolated from support networks, almost certainly a part of the ongoing attacks on any form of social capital that is not filtered through state and corporate institutions. We are by no means in a hopeless predicament, but unless persistent, widespread and radical action is taken we will have one of our own making.

  101. The exponential drop in numbers caused by the same logic as compound interest applied to fertility works just as much in reverse. If people actually have lots of kids within a few generations the population will recover. The bit that matters is making sure people have kids. The debates around if things are too late only adds credence to those rationalizing their desire to cop out as actually doing something about issues like these is potentially a lot of work, and it's much easier to complain than it is to confront issues.
    44
  102. I've seen a considerable increase in both American Catholics and American monarchists, very often they overlap. In my view America is likely in for some interesting times as a noticeable portion of the youth actually oppose the national myths, whether because they are commies or because they are anti-enlightenment. On the right in America I basically see the Calvinists supporting a type of Christian nationalism and the new right, or Christian resurgence/revival/great awakening or whatever you like to call them being fundamentally anti-liberal and anti-democracy, both these groups have strength that conservatism doesn't by actually being ideologies driven towards actual things and not just a cult of the past.
    44
  103. This is probably correct.
    44
  104. Ed, is the current system really worth preserving? Not sure that what's happening is anything other than a rational response to a system which has delegitimised itself.
    43
  105. There is actually more, but it is suppressed better and has much less political expression. The grooming gangs are a massive issue and much of the working class personally know victims, likewise many of the imported ethnic groups are irreconcilable. If liberally applied central repression by the courts and police lets up for a second or the government gives and impression of weakness a lot of groups will kick off, and unlike in France it will go all the way. The hatred is tangible and real, the community behind the grooming while well organised has made intractable enemies of every group other than the urban liberals, when central authority starts waining (which it will, it has burnt all legitimacy, justification, good will and loyalty, and is morally moribund and financially insolvent) then matters will likely be shifted into military organisation, alliance structures and tribal loyalties. On a wider level the solutions looked at by young people basically split, women wanting bureaucratic oligarchy and men wanting a Franco, I have to doubt the viability of either given the severe lack of competence within our institutions. Whatever happens however there will be severe ethnic conflict. By holding the lid on a boiling pot all the political class is doing is guaranteeing an explosion of extreme resentment, grievance and vendetta.

  106. It should be remembered that this was under the direct influence of nationalism. Which sort a new political settlement, for a long period of time the relationship of these groups to the state was feudal, they specific rights and obligations codified in relationship to the Crown, and were largely autonomous in practicality. Thus different groups of many different characters lived within the same national boundaries. Nationalism sort to standardise a lot of the regional distinctions, and in regards to the very large portion of minorities throughout many of these states the solutions were criminal. Russia operated the same way before communism, and Prussia had large Polish and Germanised Slavic populations. Basically the whole of eastern Europe was quite like the Balkans, but with people who had a long history of cooperation under a shared dynastic and religious framework. This is one of the lesser known issues with the spread of liberalism, the old kingdoms tried to enforce common identity and language, largely on the advice of whig reformers, but a dialect is very different from a language and the extensive freedoms and flexibilities of such states were exactly because they operated in very large part with the consent of the population, the communists would show exactly how enforcing such changes kills civil society and massively weakens the state itself despite modernisation, Russia a century ago could call on the loyalties of vast and diversely skilled populations, even after the massive weakening of such relationships by reforms undermining foundational social institutions, forced integration policies and the growth in a deeply flawed bureaucratic system increasingly taking over from autonomous powers which functioned rather than sticking to mismanagement in the centre (this was a major problem, the Cossacks were in major economic crisis by 1914 as a result of terribly thought out bureaucratic policies, likewise the logistical and support corps of the Russian army were the epicentre both of corruption and revolution, as it was made up of people who used connections for a cushy time in service). That Russia was still competitively a vastly more formidable a power than the one the Soviets left behind them, and that was at it's greatest crescendo of crisis. Austria-Hungary had never been brilliantly led, but it was still an established power and a leader in culture and fashion. It's path was far rosier than the one it's constituent people's ultimately experienced, or indeed the future all European are currently confronting.

  107. Interesting guests, the first lady was a narcissist most likely given her many odd comments, I have a feeling that she didn't only get a lot of work done on her face. The other two seemed very nice and gave quite insightful commentary and a real look at the experience. I have heard that back exercises are beneficial. Interestingly medieval Europeans disfavored large breasts (or even middling ones really) due to them being associated with a lack of virtue. This lead both to a lot of chest binding and also a likely genetic disfavoring. Ironically the opposite seems to be happening now. As for the morality of such channels, I'm not 14 anymore and if I was then youtube wouldn't be my port of call. I frankly don't see the point, though I imagine that for the content creator at least the point is monetary. However if a women wants a health long term relationship then a certain exclusiveness will be a part of the bounds of that relationship, something rather difficult when you have already commercialised yourself.

  108. It's easy to encapsulate this by just defining ideologies as belief systems and viewing them through the same lense as religion. As that's what it very much is.

  109. They knew how to wash things, how much they did depended on culture and economic status. That said poor people tended not to buy such things in the first place, like now, you saw the estimated price. Though in England at least clothes were one of the things handed down to servants once they had seen their use, many of which would have had the fabrics repurposed into newer styles if possible and were carefully tended to, to only be worn on special occasions like Sunday's and weddings.
    42
  110. They got voted in by 20% of the electorate so no it's not plenty. Not to mention that they have burnt pretty much all their good will since, basically only the civil service is content and in their case only because of a pay rise.

  112. The middle ages being intellectual stagnant is a misconception, literacy was tied to knowing Latin so it didn't take into account the sizable portion of the population could read and write only in their own language. The middle ages also saw a renaissance in social relations and moral norms. The boomers are much much worse than pretty much any generation in western history (previous generations with similar circumstances just had more kids and thus spread out the prosperity), it is as if there was a generation reasonable for the the dark age migrations, western civilisation may well die in Europe at least because of their actions and mindset.

  113. They have declared war, they just don't know it yet.

  114. No. Not really a complicated one, that.

  115. When people say things can't stay the same they mean that we cannot continue with the current government and very often system of government. They are fully aware that the current political parties won't admit their mistakes let alone rectify it, and indeed that from the elite perspective what is happening isn't a mistake at all. What they are saying is that they will restructure the political framework as necessary, I think you misunderstand the contemporary climate, we are in a sense politically at some point before 1920, the only thing stopping kinetic action from the (largely disenfranchised) opposition is means and opportunity. If their is a world war then expect for us to reach the post-war period very soon, the demoralisation is already near the Russian provisional government level. Indeed one of the notable things in the current climate is how much the motivation precedes the means.
    38
  116. I recommend the book Blacklisted by History by M. Stanton Evans. The Soviet archives have been open for three decades at this point and they reveal that almost everyone he accused did in fact have a relationship (whether as informer, asset or paid agent) with the KGB and often far before that. It is increasingly mainstream knowledge that Soviet sympathisers had a key role in the state department from the 30's onwards and indeed these days that facts effect on the rise of Mao is much discussed. McCarthy was hardly a rocket scientist many of the people he investigated had or were active members of the American communist party, a similar denial of the relevance of political loyalties happened in the British secret service and a great many people died because of it.

  119. India has been invaded many times, mostly through Afghanistan, a lot of everything Indian has been shaped by it as the conquerors were usually much more proactive than the Indians with actually ever doing anything, including having a culture. The typically used the same tactic as China to hold out, assimilation, accept with them it was less out of any cultural supremacy and more because India is an administrative hell which will drown anyone who tries to fix it. It's basically a bronze age clan society with an indo-european religion constructed to eternally subjugate them within a racial caste system. The biggest thing that's happened in 8000 years or so is that the British set up a parliament so that they can pretend not to just be a load of individual regions who can pretend to not just be a load of independent villages who basically just do their own thing. Likewise the Muslims made a big effort at civilising them, which, I mean, they did relative to the time of them not even writing history books (yes, we don't have much detailed Indian history because the higher castes thought that was below their interest to write about, instead we got loads of pagan esoterism, stuff that would make the Chinese cry, with disappointment, after trekking all the way there with a magical monkey to find out about Buddhism, it's incomparable, it's an embarrassment that they are between Persia and China and yet have a literary tradition the Aztecs would dunk on, by only win by default against African societies, because most of them were either illiterate or derivative from the Arabs), but in the other hand the result was Pakistan, so judge for yourself.

  120. Bloody interesting, and I hope the increasing awareness of these problems along with the increasing accountability of the companies involved for dodgy sourcing methods leads to a decline in the industry. Personally despite you're discussion of social issues your videos have given me an overwhelmingly positive view of Japan, my country along with many other western countries has many similar issues however they are in both degree and number a lot worse and there is little awareness of them or room for civil dialog about them and increasingly any discussion of anything is merely part of a larger dogmatic ideological war and not a issue in it's own right. I'm currently training to become a teacher and your videos have made me think about moving to Japan once I've finished as it's become very clear that I don't want to raise children in the political and social culture that currently pervades nor in a state with institutions that fundamentally won't protect them if needed.

  121.  @ResidentEyebrowAppreciator  Lenin was in Siberia, he had a maid, they were actual places of political exile rather than murder factories under the tsars. The Soviets literally killed tens of millions of their own people.

  123. Let's be honest, the focus on love is a big part of the issue, it is heavily pushed by advertisers, probably because it sells tat without delivering but really a large part of it is the social conditions and norms which allow two people to make a relationship work as well as the kids. Relationships are something that must be built or maintained, but like everything our society seems to tell use we can buy, neglect or abandon them at will with no real consequences or responsibility, really it is to the point of saying we should and holding moral evil as a moral good. People need to have less options frankly, if you say some bullshit about falling out of love when you have children then frankly you need to grow up and stop being self-centred, you are not the centre of the relationship, your children are. There are unhealthy relationships but to often they are such by lack of effort and a sense of entitlement rather than anything more irreconcilable. As for getting into a relationship working out what you want is fine, if they don't want that then right there you have saved years of potentially dancing around it. To be fair relationships aren't about self-actualisation, that just comes about once you get into a rhythm, they are about children, all the rest is a later product largely out of very Christian concepts about consent and the enjoining of humans into one flesh (and yes that is most certainly a reference to the literal as well as the spiritual), unless you are counting political alliance, which is ancient by probably not terribly relevant. The main issue today is that the culture and legal framework is not accommodating of marriage, there is a rampant individualism, almost to the point of farce, and an overreliance on taking from the state without acknowledging that costs are a universal and people will be needed in the next generation to support you no matter what. It is best that the obligation is relational as frankly in current conditions it is a race between the finance departments and the younger generation to scrap pensions. People are happy to look after their own, but an old market principle the Soviets proved is being unearthed, farmers will let the cities starve if they don't get paid, and young people will prefer not to work than to have all of their money taken towards people too irresponsible to have children of their own.

  127. This guy seems highly unreliable. What an earth was that bit at the end, seems like he had the interview just to publicly inform that he was a rat. I don't buy for a second that he just happens to visit Serbia and just happened to disclose confidential information. I would be interested to hear the other side, as fragging him might well have been a good call given what he showed here. Not even a Ukraine shill, very much a Russophile, but no one likes traitors, and nor should they.

  132. This is a very populist perspective, the reality is most of the soldiers in the period as well as the youth men remained moralistic, whether on the right or left. The people who supported the government were part of minorities that had been underground in Germany for a while, the situation was very like in Russia during the nineties, groups who had access to foreign capital through connections (you know which group) made bank, they then rubbed it in the face of the old culture. It should be mentioned that right after the war about 500'000 starved to death, and hunger was a continual issue. For the majority things were very hard, far harder than now, there were loads of men who couldn't find jobs and engaged politically instead. You are underselling the degeneracy, just like now it was done in mocking contempt of the old order dominated by a Christian aristocracy, but this was the case in every western nation, the 20's is when the true sexual revolution happened in the west, what made it nasty in Germany was that it was opened forced, the economic deprivation of the population was used in ways that I will just call forced, many of those involved were unwilling, or in many cases literally children. The new elite were just like ours, they hated the country, people and religion, being alien to it themselves, but unlike the current elite there was a large population of ex-soldiers wanting for weakness and they left the aristocracy within vital state institutions, who were just waiting for political circumstances with the allies to shift to indifference so they could enact the return of the monarchy. Just like now most of the population loathed these times, but media and the like tried to normalize it, giving a wrong impression on the face of it.

  134. He was brought up with a great fondness for the Royal family because his Scottish mother idolised the late Queen. Unfortunately his sentiment towards Britain is quite atypical among the American political elite. If we had a sympathetic government we likely would have been able to capitalise of his good will.

  135. Very common unfortunately, both the number of young women who hate children (which has always seemed somewhat demonic to me) and how many end up in the education system somehow (presumably because it's basically a Mickey mouse subject academically and a relatively easy job to work in with very low standards so long as you apply to an average school).

  138. This was a better fate, they were often allowed to retain contact with their birth family. Much worse were the boys taken as 'dancing' boys by the Turks, being a slave to the sultan was much better than being a regular slave, which the empire needed a constant inflow of due to very high attrition.

  139. Justice is a social contract. It is the tacit agreement that revenge will be turned over to the hands of the state to allow for greater impartiality and disincentivise vendettas. If justice is not imparted then the contact is null and it is totally moral to enact personal, familial or community justice with your own hands, indeed according to Christian morality it is a not just justified but a moral imperative to respond to evil with violence.

    28
  147. This scenario would require an absolutely massive Christian revival in the 20th century, a very great change in thought and focus within the state institutions of countries like Britain and the US and the non-relevance (or at the very least non-intervention) of the Soviet threat that most of these countries tended to prioritise.

  150. The Tories are blairites. The immigration of the last decade is even worse than that of 20 years ago, for one thing there is a lot more of it, for the other it's now people's who have a history of predatory behaviour in this one, and who take welfare at a far higher rate than they pay taxes. It isn't just the Tories, former politicians have revealed that they were threatened over the issue as the civil service takes debts based on population figures and told them it was immigration or a budget black hole, while they can borrow more many with more people that isn't a good thing as they will never pay back on the money taken out on their behalf. Unfortunately this is a problem across the west, but Britain has been particularly ideologically rigid, and financially extractive. With no wealth production, industry (it was asset stripped by multinationals decades ago) or reserves, even in private hands (inheritance tax saw to that) the fact that over half of GDP is government spending would have obvious results, it is draining the country for the sake of bureaucriting the few parts of the country that actually do things.

  151. There is increasing evidence that marijuana causes mental illness, also the campaigns to legalise it are being massively funded by many of the same industries you've been talking about and have been since the 70's. Oh yeah and justice reform meant that loads of prisoners were released back in the late 50's early 60%, then the crime rate spiked massively, the prison rate should by all rights be much high than it is even now and the war on drugs has been largely irrelevant to it in the face of bigger trends, though without said justice reform drug users would genuinely be disproportionately targeted and the war would have been won as it has been in Japan.

  152. The whole family type things is largely rubbish. Britain historically had many types, but the nobility kept the Norman tradition of oldest son gets all, so did most merchants (with the younger sons becoming employed by the company or setting up offshoots under the main family, part of my own family became rich using this very east Asian tactic), farmers also (specifically in England and Wales, in Scotland it was more communal and in Ireland it was split between sons by the Irish and was the English way with the English and scots). Equally our political developments are not natural, the rights were a clever undermining of noble demands for privileges by universalising them, medieval England was extremely centralised and the aim of the kings was total control through the Anglican church, the non-conformists are at the root of the failure and of the liberal political tradition. We had Filmer, without the glorious revolution and the disempowering of the king we would have become our own strain of absolutist, and that remained a strong strain of toryism for much of it's early history. The idea that we are innately liberal was made up by whig historians and held to by people with no imagination, even now liberal democracy is not a popular system among the population, it is the incumbent one. Equally the English as a people are not even slightly liberal, they are ridiculously conservative, the liberal elite idolize France and find their own people boorish and uncultured. Much of the traditional elite are even less liberal, thus they were destroyed by inheritance tax. The English respect the past, tradition, authority, responsibility and breeding, the lower stadia of society is not ambitious and they like things being in their place, a lack of responsibility or care bothers them, as does unsuitable people leading, they hold it as natural for a noble to lead, but hate managers and people who don't acknowledge their own place. The destruction of jobs and pettiness towards the working class has caused massive damage, the fact is that such behaviour is at odds with the acceptable functioning of things, they are fine being ruled over, but they want respect, they want care and they want a ruling class who have those in their blood, they don't like being treated with derision by some upjumped member of the middle class, and they don't like airs, so pretending to be French or above the local concerns grates like nobody's business. The current ruling class is not just hated, it is seen as illegitimate, among the younger generation this is even more extreme, with many openly hoping for a Franco.

  153. It should be mentioned that the Spanish inquisition was very heavily staffed by ethnic jews who had legitimately converted and entered the church (which doesn't really fit with evolutionary theory as they were both celibate and prioritised the interests of Christians). On top of this it was rather less spectacular than people think, the focus was not on ethnic cleansing as it killed very few, it was on saving souls. The ethnic change was largely in the form of exile, and it should be noted that ethnic Spaniards who refused to convert away from Islam were also exiled to North Africa, though the Moroccans at least did discriminate against them for ethnic reasons. Also the Spanish didn't stop at Spain, they would attack North Africa for centuries and support basically any war against Muslim powers. This is also the context of the conquest of the new world, though that was far more evolutionary (partly because it was conducted with considerable autonomy from church and crown). The reality is that belief can play a massive role, just as shared genes can. For much of history Ethiopians were considered favourably due to a shared faith and shared enemies, into the 20th century Ethiopians didn't consider themselves black, partially due to the association with paganism and partly for the same reason Greeks and Romans didn't have much time for celts or Germans, civilisational level.

  154. I know a lot of women my age, 80 or 90% of them have very serious problems and do not make for good friends, let alone being wife material. Part of the problem is the pervasiveness of the social structures and the demented nature of contemporary culture, but a good portion of them would have been institutionalised in a different age, and nothing short of that will work in this one.

  159. I've heard from midwives that most 'average' women are dangerously overweight for the purpose of childbirth. It is probably the medical advancements that have facilitated obesity in women but I doubt to what extent it is the primary cause. Laziness, a lack of physical work, low impulse control, lax social and cultural attitudes and the modern diet are probably the cause, and as they don't kill in large numbers it has been able to settle in as a norm.

  161. Couple of things to mention that Americans seem to miss, our leadership class is literally appealing to your own moral system of rule when they are rude about America, your ruling class hate America so ours act the same to get brownie points, it also always them to act aggressively in a direction that is totally safe for them. The American government has put massive pressure on both Canada and Europe to remain disarmed, indeed Canada was almost a military state at the end of WW2 (they were basically the crack shock troops of the British Empire, and very proud of it), when they offered that to the Americans your government was very reluctant to have Snow Spartans on their northern border and were quite active in seeing Canada disarmed and reorienting them into a welfare state so their financial commitments would not allow a repeat. Likewise in Europe, it's taken a long time to fully placate the European states (especially France, like seriously, there were colour revolutions over it, ironically with the communists backing the right wing despite the French thinking they were behind it), military security is directly linked to autonomy, if all these states are reliant on US military hegemony they can never pursue independent policy or get out from under American protectorship. The reason the deep state panicked is that Trump is not undoing stupid ideas, he is knocking over very subtle and well thought out mechanisms and backroom deals because as he has correctly assessed they are at a direct cost the Americans themselves, but the elite don't care about that, the structures are to the benefit of their own wealth and power and the American Imperial project, all the common American does it pay for it (and they'd say they should be thankful, as Europeans and other subject people's pay even more, indeed they've pretty much been drained, a bit like the rust belt but for longer depending on utility, with the borderlands getting an easier time and interior provinces having pretty much been sucked dry).

  162. It's very likely that the islanders weren't wholly speaking out their arse's about the whole 'Polynesian traditions' thing and that the guy's were kiddy fiddlers from the start. Polynesian tradition is in reality just the type of culture that the mutineers set up considering that the first women were kidnapped natives and the first men were of the type to commit treason and condemn their fellows to a slow death at sea over some snatch.
    26
  163. Genocides are willful, Mao didn't commit a genocide against the Chinese he was just massively incompetent and wilfully ignorant of the situation, likewise with the British political elite, they were still arguing about whether the famine was real long after even Queen Victoria herself was pouring money into famine relief and charitably works and the number of half-starved Irish migrating into Britain itself to find work and food in the industrial hubs had made the reality and scale of the situation blindingly obvious. If you look at deliberate genocide through famine you can look to what Stalin did to the Ukraine, all the food was seized by soldiers and resisters were shot, people who tried to enter the cities where much of the food was taken were shot, people who tried to leave the Ukraine were shot, people who tried to speak out about what was going on were shot and food aid from abroad was refused, spies and agents were used to tell the rest of the world that nothing was happening and foreign whistle blowers were deliberately cancelled through the efforts of left wing colleagues/Soviet agents and sympathisers or murdered. There ended up being quite a lot of documentation of the genocide in Soviet archives as it was deliberate policy and required organisation to enact. It's like comparing the black and tans to the Armenian genocide, the atrocities of the latter are clearly organised with intent while those of the former are marked by their lack of proper organisation or vision (the same reason as why they were largely ineffective). British governmental policy has long been marked less by any real malice as by sheer incompetence and idiocy, even more so today, British politicians have always been and continue to be stupid and squabbling idiots of low moral character and lower intellect, arrogance on the other hand they have in plenty, really they are just the sort of people you want to keep as far away as possible from public office.

  164. Meanwhile in western Russia winter travel was preferable as the swamps, streams and mud froze over, indeed armies campaigned in the winter, which was not the accepted practice in many other places, shows how bad the conditions for travel was when winters of such severity were preferred.

  167. Russia has a long history of high culture and learning. Obviously as the region's big dog it has also stepped on a lot of people's toe's but so has practically every European state at some point in it's history. Only the Soviets could be judged as truly evil, just like the Nazi's when it comes to Germany. The strong do as they will and the weak suffer as they must. It is a mistake for nations to become complacent in their strength, for it won't last.

  170. Russians had very serious supply issues especially early in the war so it would be better to say that surely some of them had weapons even if not sidearms out of date single shot rifles and the like were still issued to the backlines though not every backline soldier would necessarily get one as the Russians found themselves having mobilised more soldiers than they had arms in storage and trouble producing enough of a surplus after losses to update or fill in the equipment of anyone besides the frontoviks, Cossacks, Guard regiments etc, which lead to them contracting and scrounging together arms from all over the place to try and equipment everyone else. So this scene would instead end with them both getting shot with a hunting shotgun that had been placed near by an artillery piece or somesuch.

  171. People have literally done studies on this, the vast majority regret not having kids, and of the current women who either aren't able to have them or are likely not to most wanted kids, they left it too late. There is a reason why IVF has exploded.

  173. Crime is worse in Okinawa because of the Americans, many of whom know they can't be legally prosecuted by the local authorities. Foreigners already commit more crime but the US army has many soldiers from a cultural background which makes them prone to crime even at home, on top of this their is a very long history of US servicemen committing terrible crimes across Okinawa and getting away with it, locals often don't report crimes due to shame or face and the police put a lot less resources into crimes they know will have no resolution, it is scary as several American serial killers were posted as US servicemen to Okinawa and are often seen as having a quiet period while in Japan while in fact the previously mentioned factors mean they they were in fact likely active in Japan but just never reported or caught. I used to live in Notting Hill (a rich area with tall building and lots of high crime communities nearby) people would break into even the top floors through the outside windows even though they presumably meant scaling the house, though once they did they could get the stolen items out from the inside to having locks which unlocked without a key from the inside. It should be noted that things have got a lot better over time, during occupation the American troops acted almost as bad as the Soviets did in the siege of Berlin, but for a lot longer. This days it is still bad but the press in no longer censored so when the really terrible things happen there is public outcry, however it is still a lot less safe than elsewhere in Japan, though there are also foreign areas in Tokyo which are probably worse.

  174. The ideology of a certain Austrian corporal.
    24
  175. The Russians supported a Greek state in Constantinople if you count renaming Constantinople to Tsargrad and settling it with Russians as well a possibly making it the Russian capital due to dynastic/religious aims counts as being Greek, the Russians would probably say it was because 'we are the Romans now' but I have a feeling many Greeks would contend that point, especially once the Russians start moving to annex the lost orthodox territories of Rome, like say Greece. And yeah it is a mostly western idea of the Greeks having connection to antiquity, the Byzantine link was much more relevant until ancient Greek fanboys started intervening in national diplomacy, with most of them being liberals and thus massively prejudiced against the byzantines in general and Christians in particular.
    24
  176. The fun thing is that all this nonsense splits apart the vote, it's bad enough the Tories still exist, Nige is making sure that even if in government he would do nothing of value. The best thing would be for him to get a peerage and content in giving the Lords an earful rather than disappointing people who staked their hopes on him.

  182. Fornlorn hopes would still receive promotions and monetary rewards for their actions in the early modern period (one of the few common ways to get past the entrenched seniority system of promotion, it probably helped that such an event would cull officers considerably and leave many vacancies for the survivors). Into the 20th century elite units would usually be the ones sent in in the first place, like the shock battalions of the Russian civil war, cities remained fortified centres that were hard for units like cavalry to take alone, General Wrangel pioneered the use of combined arms to take them, and was successful as they was a reason the red army had serious issues on open ground or without a concentration of force, the main impediment was the defences of the city, once broken through the garrison usually showed the limitations of armed workers militias and poorly motivated conscripts. But without excellent command and control the defences typically narrowed the difference and made the cities bastions in a sea of White territory.

  184. Shame that the bayonet was made using the latest in bendysteel technology and has a serrated back edge just to be extra sadistic (to anyone who might have to withdraw the thing from a target that has say bones that is). It's heavy because the sods who designed it had malicious glee at the mere thought of all the people who'd have to lug the bloody thing around and as a stop gap if the RAF ever ran out of bombs to drop on people.
    23
  185. Tartars are a turkic people group from Crimea with roots in Mongolia, historically their name got applied to Mongol and Turkic Nomads in a very general sense. Tartary was a mixture of 'here be dragons' but with mongols on maps and a genuine warning like with Barbary (North Africa) because it was likewise a massive centre of slave trading, so not a safe place to go and they were launching constant raids into Christendom. Most of the groups so labelled are still around and were either invaded or vassalised by the Tsardom of Russia, though many were decimated or relocated under Stalin, including the Tartars themselves.

  186. If these people are the best at being politicians then God help us!

  187. They say it openly, some time ago politicians were saying that we are now in an age of migration, if anyone knows the historical migration period saw the fall of Rome, colonisation by Germanic people's and the Britainno-Romans being geocided by the Anglo-Saxons. It also saw a Middle East populated by Christian's and Zoroastrians conquered by the Muhammadan Arabs. What followed was unbelievable persecution of a sort unfortunately very familiar to a lot of people, the loss of a large almost half the territory of our civilisation (Europe has its root in Christendom, our civilisation as much as it remains is the Christian one) and a permanent existential threat lapping at our borders awaiting internal weakness. The Middle East was at that time far richer than western Christendom, today much of the causes of that are gone, the irrigation canals built over millennia by people's of very little means and learning were never replaced upon being destroyed and the people have gone from the cradle of civilisation to brute savages without morality or humanity. Islam has devolved great people's into creatures of darkness and embodiments of barbarity. Unless we once again take up the duty of our ancestors and the glory of the Cross we shall have no descendants and our existence will pass from the world. If we allow such a thing to happen we may be said to deserve it. We are weak enough for suffering the evil of liberalism already. It is our duty to take the cross and fight in the name of all that is sacred and good, for in the end it will be by God alone that we will be judged, and to be found wanting in that makes the judgment of our enemies like a grain of sand compared to the whole universe twice over.

  191. Not really, Sicilians were dirt poor and heavily exploited by landowners and the mafia. One of the reasons they did well in the US was that they could live well on practically nothing. Coalminers in Britain were well paid and among the most affluent of the working class in Britain, transitory labourers were probably the worst off but were still better off than peasants in Mediterranean countries, notably they weren't tied to the land and were better able therefore to haggle over wages. During this period in England landless agricultural workers and the landed aristocracy tended to be allied against the yeoman class who employed most of the workers, worker action tended to be organised and lead by members of the local aristocracy and the great estates were know to provide relief during times of want, usually though the creation of superfluous jobs and though church networks.
    22
  192. University is a prestige investment rather than a practical one. Tell that to many big companies HR departments however. If the economy wasn't going in the current direction it is then the whole heads not hands thing might work out, academia is in my experience largely composed of the average, at least when it comes to the social sciences. If you feel that strongly then knuckle down on him, children are beholden to their family after all and it's not without reason that they should respect and defer to their elders. However given what he is saying it might do little to help as it sound like he (like many) has been inculcated with a poor set of morals by the school system. Even with money he will likely misuse of and even with a future set out he won't have ambitions which would favour his happiness. Young people are poor a listening to wisdom these days so pointing him in the right direction and letting him think he has come up with the obvious all by himself might be the way to go.

  197. This family system was still dominant in 1970's but has basically collapsed since then, most Japanese families are now nuclear and the grandparents are left to fend for themselves in the countryside or have been sent to nursing homes. Japan has westernized hugely and is still in the process of doing so, a social collapse has been accompanying it. They are less far along but things are still apocalyptic.
    22
  198. If a lot of zoomers find themselves with military training and organisation then it is a likelihood (as would be that any deployment would be troublesome given that a significant proportion beyond deserting would be liable to defect and thus prove a source of military manpower to the wrong side). In current conditions we aren't organised enough to establish secure communities and economic means, internal social norms nor procreation within any a system of our own, or much at all for that matter. Thus for now our only means are political, and such means are not impressive at all, as power matters, positions that merely imply it are dependent on good faith, which we are short of today. Basically rather than the informational sphere, where things are adequate, we need to form together social and economic organisations capable of doing us service and giving us a powerbase beyond solidarity of opinion.
    22
  199. Traditionally in England the elite were rural based, it is a change in the elite itself, we have no responsibility to play by their rules, we have a duty to overturn them.

  200. It is ultimately cultural, it is about the values people hold, liberal individualism is sterile while the more traditional dogmas like Confucianism and Christianity are intensely pro-natal as traditions which aren't died quickly just as liberal society is dying. It ends up that welfare will not fill in what has become morally degraded and economically inconvenient. The state wants to have its cake and eat it too, they want thriving families, but each member of said family to be the private serf of a corporation for the sake of the precious GDP. Thus they talk about giving women money to not see their children rather than questioning if increasing women's work hours is a good solution to an aging population.

  203. Counter-point, without this extensive packaging these items would likely not have lasted in Russian level of storage and thus ease of use as reserves would be a moot point as these would have seen use in the diet of rats decades ago. Likewise the Russians like storing guns in disgusting oil, but it means that if needed a soldier can be issued a weapon from the 19th century, though if he actually finds one I'm sure he could trade it in for something better as the resale value would be pretty high considering the history those would have had to have gone through to be available for deep storage, I'm sure it's better than being issued a homemade gun from North Korea at the very least.

  208. Dehumanization seems a big part of this, it seems like not considering an outgroup worthy of decent treatment is often involved, this happened during the war with German treatment of slav and Jewish women (they had comfort women like the Japanese but also attacked civilians, including very young ones, on a massive scale), Japanese towards Koreans and Chinese, Soviets towards everyone, and post war Americans towards Japanese (which is a bit of forgotten history but was Soviet scale). In modern history this seems to play a big part in why the Pakistani diaspora act they way they do to other groups, and also why a certain portion of the elite class who don't identify with the majority population act as they do. The victims aren't worthy of empathy thanks to ethnic separation, they are in a sense the spoils of war, or more realistically dominance.
    20
  209. No they don't, they throw them away like paper, they showed the nature of democratic war in WW1. Politicians have not responsibilities to the population, they have a mild concern towards being re-elected and a major one towards retaining power (which is almost completely to do with internal politics).

  212. The suicide rate is similar to European countries and the age of consent laws are increased in local laws (prefecture rather than state but effectively the same as US states making their own state laws) meaning that it is not under 16 anywhere. No one mentioned it by I know it will come up, birth rates are in fact above European birth rates if you account for births to foreign born mothers (which make up about 30% of births in the UK now), mark that I said foreign born not non-native (e.g. it's probably a hell of a lot higher due to second and third generations though it would be noted that immigrants integrate into having below replacement births over time, which is pretty damming of western society's ability to persist).
    20
  213. Many of these ideas seem mutually contradictory, non-democratic republicianism, etc. I don't want a secular society I want Christian monarchy, local autonomy and a crusade.
    20
  214. So people were economically better off under Tsarism or the industrial , then, which is why they had loads of kids. And the late Soviet union was more capitalist than them, which is why they had few.
    20
  215. So Japan teaches about LGBT curriculum but not it's religious and cultural heritage or about worldwide religions to the point of them becoming widely misunderstood. Seems like they have the wrong priorities.

  218. You forgot that you are dealing with genetics, intelligence is genetic and only the Pacific islanders and Australian aboriginals do worse. Not matter the ethnic make-up of elites a country in that section of the world competent enough to remain a country will be ruled with kinetic power by a small aristocratic style elite. Without them the society will start to resemble the bronze age collapse, the majority have trouble conforming to a complex society, let alone maintaining or building one. Even the elite tend to be on the lower end of average by the standards of anywhere else. Also by giving them free stuff they start trying to create Malthusian cycles, as they don't have the capability for production improvements to break out of it, nor can they because the foundations for it can't be built due to the inability to compete with what is free. It's the welfare trap on a national level.

  230. Against armour not much, but they carried the sword and used it, just against infantry. At several points the Soviets would break up and scatter German infantry with tanks, then send in a cavalry charge with swords to cut them down before they could reorganize or redeploy. Cavalry were a fair pain, they could act as mobile reserves, a screening force, a complication in retreating, quite often a complication in attacking if they counterattacked with your troops in open ground in the advance. They could infiltrate behind the lines, cross difficult terrain at speed or just straight up charge you and put how prepared your positions actually were to the test. Not a fun unit but they did face the attrition of any vanguard unit if deployed, if you were screamish about casualties however they made excellent policing and anti-partisan units.

  231. The Church of England is asking for people's opinions on who the new archbishop of Canterbury (leader of the Church) should be. Everyone should make sure to fill out their form so some poor sop has to collate how many people want Calvin Robinson v how many want Pope Francis.

  235. There were riots in the diverse parts (it should be noted that most diversity is replacement), armed gangs went around looking for English people and the police did nothing. There were very serious assaults, the police also did nothing. Most of the English protests were in heavily working class areas, which have been victimised by these groups for decades. On top of this once you account for house prices being insane most of these regions are eastern poland levels of wealth. These people are pretty fed up of being under a tyrannical and evil government.

  237. As many people have pointed out Franco was not really fascist at all in his personal ideology, he was a monarchist, an ultra-Catholic and a hardline Spanish nationalist, but he was also a political realist and really quite expert in a lot of what he did. Both the pre-existing fascist and long-standing rival dynastic monarchist movement (the Carlists, an interesting topic of their own) were integrated into the same party under him, effectively dissipating their power while not really ever giving them what they wanted (he thoroughly betrayed the Carlists for example by stringing them along for decades only to appoint an heir from the main dynasty to replace himself as he thought an absolute monarch, a bad choice for that purpose as it happened as he democratized the state on ascension to power), the carlists at least were a powerful movement with a very long history but after his reign they were politically spent towards a cause not their own, the fascists likewise were turned more into a aesthetic than an influence to any tangible degree. Once you get into his premiership it becomes clear that beyond his hatred of communism and rejection of liberal democracy he was generally playing all sides, he supported the Nazi's with troop but at the same time facilitated ratlines of Jews out of occupied Europe (a fact that he would both publicise and exaggerate post war, along with leaving out that the same networks were later used by Nazi's themselves to escape justice). He was in short a clever political mover and old style European autocrat rather than an ideological adherent to anything other than Catholicism and a deeply traditional conception of Spain as a Catholic monarchy. If his chosen king hadn't been a liberal subverter of his vision of Spain then he could probably have been considered the most successful politician of the 20th century in terms of actually fulfilling his ambitions, or at least doing so without mass bloodshed inflicted on civilians in peace time, though unfortunately that exposes that it's not a very high bar.

  239. This is however mostly a problem with the education system, and we are seeing a rise in home education as well as a groundswell of Christian conversion in the younger generation that is largely invisible as they are disenfranchised from the liberalism of the churches, though there is the issue that this is overwhelmingly a male phenomena.

  241. There is always an elite caste, humans are hierarchical and stuff needs to be organised to be done, egalitarianism has been helpful to the current elite as it justified their displacement of elites based on sentiment and bonds of loyalty to people, place, God, the King and oaths. They replaced it with a meritocratic system with a more static class system than feudalism, one in which they rule by exception, "for my friends; everything, for my enemies; the law".

Literally the whole thing is a scam, you can get high quality genuine Japanese kitchen knives a good deal cheaper if you just look, real Japanese businesses take reputation and customer satisfaction deathly seriously as a rule but they don't advertise much in foreign countries and especially not youtube videos.

  245. Ironically the Catholic church was exceptionally cynical about the existence of witches and even more so any accusations of people being them. The church expended great effort on trying to suppress witch hunts with them being viewed as mass hysteria and if not a possible attempt at murder or robbery by opportunists or charlatans. Burning heretics was fine and dandy so long as they were avowed and unrepentant ones, during the reformation this of course meant that one man's kindling became another man's martyr. That said a lot less died that way that early print media claimed and then entered the public consciousness. A great deal of religious crimes were also just people who blasphemed in public in order to get tried in religious court for all their standing charges instead of dealing with a court comprised of their social betters (and yeah court also counted as a public place, so it was a pain to deal with for civil courts, but not as bad as previous centuries when religious courts had often been lenient on even serious crimes).

  247. It is probable that there many such clerical errors in the early months of the war. Certainly clerical errors about soldiers ages were standard and seldom corrected unless their family kicked up a considerable fuss.

  248. The 1950's were already deep into this problem, the negative associated trends largely started in the 1920's, the birthrate started to downtrend even long before that. What is lacking is strong social institutions and motivation.

  251. One thing to note is that the highlands would have had a much higher population density than now and within your clan territory or that of allied clans you would probably be be a guest in someone's house for the night. Indeed this is what most people did historically and why concepts like guest right were seen as sacred. Everyone who travelled (so most people (or men at least in societies without strong traditions of pilgrimage) at one point or another) relied on the social norms of hospitality, so it was important that the standards around that be actively maintained for the common good.

  256. He's very much out of the norm. Though typically for the well informed zoomer who wasn't much influenced by state education and social influences and instead used the greater availability of knowledge through the internet as though it was the new Gutenberg Press (ironically leading to ideological shift the other way).

  257. The climate is getting warmer, but for one thing it's somewhat localised (China isn't getting it much for example). The most important thing however is that it's a historical trend, we just came out of the little ice age, we were this warm in medieval times. England made wine as it has now started doing again and ice receeded in certain places. The whole climate lobby however is fundamentally dishonest, carbon dioxide is good for plants, we could easily have a much larger population and grass produces the same gases when it decomposes whether or not it is in a cow during the process.

  258. Botswana was one of the only African nations to keep on colonial administrators after independence and this lead to them transitioning their institutions rather than dynimiting them and then fighting over the rubble. The same as in Singapore the post-colonial decisions were a lot more important than the colonial ones as if it had merely been a continuation then honestly things probably would have been better in many of these nations.

  259. The point historians always make is that Russia was industrialising, fast. It wasn't was industrialised as Germany, but it didn't have to be, it was much bigger. The Russians did alright in the war, and alright was enough to put Germany on the rocks, they had two fronts to worry about. The collapse was post-revolution, the provisional government took an army which had worked it's way into competency with heavy sacrifice and smashed it to pieces, they thoroughly disorganised, demotivated and confused the military and gave it the tools and reason to mutiny and split apart. The Russian army went from being formidable to more danger against it's own government, and indeed the government would perceive that and start making the situation worse, unluckly for them they were also incompetent on the domestic front and would be toppled themselves by forces they had facilitated. The whole country then fell into chaos and civil strife, and ultimately into war. The army then got parceled out into different factions and ultimately replaced by the red army.

  260. Confucianism is highly pro-natal, and as a dogmatic belief system it is much the same as ideology and religion, and certainly held the same social function and political influence. Communism has a bad record in natalism, but as a religion of secular materialism it largely approaches the matter from a utilitarian perspective. Modern progressive liberalism is all about maximising individual freedom and minimising responsibility, social or moral, which it sees as oppression. As such it is pro-choice as they put it, but only in one direction, children are a hiccup in the ideal of humans as totally atomized units.

  261. What was the sexuality of those priests, and how theologically orthodox were they, we now both, it wasn't that they were Christian, it's that they weren't but used institutional power towards their personal interests in exactly the same way they they used it to pushed their ideological beliefs in and traditional dogma out.

  269. Richest region compared to what, the mainland had great empires, Europe, India and China were all stunningly wealthy in comparison. If there was an injustice it wasn't relating to wealth but rather that the natives would never live to today to enjoy wealth of any kind with the modern inhabitants being composed of the colonists and their imported labour.

  270. The thing about the man from Jerusalem giving her to a Christian is very likely a lie meant to forestall realisation as to the real intention of the slave buyers as to women. Islamic law allows slaves (those whom the right hand possesses) to be used for sexual intercourse and though slave women were often given to Muslim converts and probably other poor retainers as wives there was a reason that the Arab slave trade opposite of the transatlantic was one primarily focused on women (though the pirates at least seem to have taken what they could get the trade from Africa was more organised and regular). Given the price for the women she was probably to enter into the man's own harem as a novelty piece or was to be sold on with the assumption that a women from so far away was one of a kind (especially if he could get her there before others from the raid arrived on market), men like the man writing would probably been of more value being ransomed back, though that was by no means always the case but if they did want him they would likely try to make him convert (converts wouldn't be ransomed back by the Christians, usually monks, whom tried to buy back people without family to buy them back, and so converts became reliant on their benefactor\owner and less likely to leave after an investment in training or being given a wife, etc. Of course this was a system with a lot of individual input so the experience (for men at least) could be quite disparate, being as it was reliant of the fickleties and decision of others. The dice however were tilted towards death or if you a women a life about as pleasant as one.

  273. High birth rates and proportionately much lower casualties than those they fought. That sort of question applies more to Russia, which lost men by the hundred thousand. The British always punched well above their weight, but that also meant they had not so many deep roots in their rule, it would become fairly easy to untangle the structures they build from the British government and colonial population. The British never enacted a substantial integration policy nor did the colonial population systematically supplant local groups in India, though there was suggestion at the time that the low mountains of North India should be settled by Europeans and that the whole of the rebel area during the mutiny should have been depopulated and replaced likewise, this never came to anything and thus the British didn't have an Algeria situation, not that it would have changed matters as parliament would prove during the 20th century they they felt no obligations towards colonial British populations.

  275. Ayrian are the common ancestors of many Eurasian populations, the scientific literature usually calls them indo-european, historians generally agree they existed and geneticists have proven it but it is a much maligned theory in other academic schools due to the political associations. Hyperborea is the mythical homeland of those people and a meme, we know where they came from and it's called the pontic-caspian steppe.

  276. I definitely think double eyelids is prettier. The examples shown didn't look unnatural which is one of the big issues with plastic surgery. Many plastic surgery operations push people into uncanny valley and they end up looking worse off for it. The funny thing is that I don't know a single man who doesn't find plastic surgery outputting or ugly and I have a feeling that the benefit to women from it is coming from an improvement to self esteem rather than looks. I have also noted that beauty standards are very much internalized among women themselves which leads to very misinformed assumptions about how pretty they are seen as by men. I think it's important that Japanese women know that they are quite beautiful already (but I do wonder how such a message could be sent, I certainly would be in no place to spread it) as they seem to have severe and, from an outsider perspective, puzzling self confidence issues which no doubt hinder them in the rest of their life. It would be worthwhile for women focus less on the cultivation of idealised beauty and instead cultivate their personality, or better yet if they want to benefit society and pursue fulfilment rather than fleeting happiness; get married and have 15 kids.
    15
  277. When it comes to Hobson and really the mutiny in general the factor of group psychology was key, the reason he shot the men wasn't because the mob had decided on attack but rather that they were indecisive, weakness or fear from the British would have given them confidence and made them aware of their numbers, likewise if they had had leadership of one of the prince's had been charismatic and daring then it is almost certain the British would have been ripped to pieces. Instead due to his actions they lost their nerve and dispersed, the moment of decision was marked by inactive tension and I'm sure that Hobson could have danced an Irish jig if he had wanted, the confusion that would have caused would certainly have brought him time. Time and time again throughout the mutiny decisiveness was proven the most valuable attribute, men like Nicholson were so effective because they could push a fine balance in their favour and that change would snowball as all the fence sitters stampeded to line up behind the path of least resistance. Without such men and actions the British would have found that even those who hated the rebels would look to their own interests and the sudden realisation of British weakness and indecision would have caused a spiral into chaos. Hodson's horse is still an active unit of the Indian Army, at current they are the 4th horse of the armoured corps.

I will have you know that Elbonian issues only the highest quality Whitworths to our elite marksmen, we here in the Elbonian parliament watched a video which gave us the good advice that it is just as good as modern guns and on top of that it can be domestically produced and fits in on the hunting estates our snipers train on, our first batch even came with scopes but since then we have learned that Jerry-rigging binoculars on to gives you a wider field of fire, they are even easily detachable with Velcro to aid in loading. We are currently studying austrio-hungarian uniform designs so that they will look more appropriate during the opening of parliament and in the field, personally I am supporting ostrich feather headgear dyed in the national colours.

  281. You are forgetting one thing; Napoleon was terrible at diplomacy. He always demanded his pound of flesh even when a lasting peace was far more valuable than twisting the knife in the wound. He would probably burn down warsaw, steal all the national treasures the Swedes didn't have, give Lithuania independence and address Poland as West Russia in all diplomatic correspondence. There was a reason that the rest of Europe was always ready for more (that is other than Britain always being off the coast to give them war funds and moral support).

  282. @Bangbabangbabangbang Go back to North Korea with that child murdering commie crap. Alexei Romanov was 13, Anastasia 17, Maria 19, Tatiana 21 and Olga 22. The communist knew the Czech legion were approaching so the asked Moscow what to do and Lenin said to kill not only the Tsar but his wife his children and his servants something that even many Soviets at the time thought was evil. The Guards then took them to the basement gunned them down and bayoneted the girls who had survived the bullets. They then took them out to the forest and tried to dispose of the bodies with grenades when this didn't work they dumped the bodies in an old mine and when the Czechs got closer they took them out and buried them in fear that they would be found out. The Soviets hid what had happened until the fall of the union and in the 90s their bodies were found and laid to rest with proper dignity and they were all made Saint's.

  285. It is pretty likely from genetics and remnant populations that the Indo-Europeans did have lighter hair colours and Blue or Green eyes (indeed the Blue\Green eyes are often the most incongruous thing that people with some ancestry can on occasion display). We also know that their were now largely extinct offshoots in central Asia, Afghanistan and China (the first to largely being wiped out by the Mongols and subsequent Turkic migration and the Chinese committing a genocide against the other and noting it's success due to the extremely characteristic physical features of the people they were hunting down and murdering), I somewhat doubt that they all looked like clones or were German however. You are totally right about ideologies being theological in nature, a lot of the left wing movements at least are also very much built on the ideas and ideals of Rousseau, which like a good few elements of the enlightenment make the assumption that social particularities of Christianity are universal to man while at the same time being heavily disparaging of Christianity (largely thanks to taking earlier protestant propaganda as fact or inheriting the hatred of Catholics and extending it to the whole of Christianity, a bit like pagans often are pagans due to applying their hatred of jews to the fact that Jesus was Jewish and the the origin of Christianity lays in Judaism), thereby making a goal which in trying to achieve they would undermine the foundations of their starting point from which they sighted it, essentially meaning that they are running backwards with a lot of their efforts, and due to their incorrect believe that man is innately good and society the corrupting influence they are totally incapable of recognising that by pursuing their ideals they are often actively working against them. A lot of what has gone.on with the criminal justice system comes to mind.

  286. Ah yeah, and historically at least Americans usually weren't breaking in to steal things (but commit rape), and were often armed, which explains the paranoid level of security.

  287. They, do have a positive vision, they are utopianists and the utopia is Rousseauian. I'm surprised this was in question, a lot of their thinking stems from comparison with utopia rather than reality, this is why they undermine go things, nothing is good compared with theoretical perfection.

  290. Being in self-denial is one of the most consistent characteristics of being a Rape Victim. If you read up on some of what happened during the war you literally have women who were put in brothels who will insist that it only happened to the other women and that they were too ugly or fought them off somehow. It is very consistent, they will talk about what happened to other women but not themselves, for people who don't know this they can incorrectly assume that what happened is overstated or heresay, once you drill down into it it is very often the opposite, it was so widespread that it was a shared experience and most were victimised multiple times. Pretty grim read but historians have collected extensive first hand accounts, though probably not enough as most of it has been about Soviets and Japanese, and to a certain extent the Germans, and they weren't the only ones to put it mildly.

  294. Treason is never a popular activity. While it is natural for people to support their own side in war it is also natural for the Russians to hate this guy and for the Ukrainians to not like him. Even if it made the Ukrainians happy to pull off such an operation, fondness for someone willing to kill his own brothers in arms for his personal benefit is a different matter. Usually the Ukrainians would fight with the Russians in the comments, with this one the Ukrainians might boast about the success but they won't defend a traitor even if he was working for them.
    14
  295. The situation is more complicated, I don't have time to go more in depth but it is certainly wrong to say they don't have mutants. The historical habit of syncretism and western influence play a very large role on what is going on.

  296. He still does good stuff but unfortunately he has financial difficulties and seems to get sponsored to do publicity for porn companies, at least if I am understanding correctly what he said in the comment section of a video a good while ago. From how he frames the questions it is obvious that he is very socially conservative if not reactionary but my impression he has kids so it is quite likely that putting food on the table is the priority, personally I think he should set up a patreon and make the sort of good content he seems to want to make.

  297. In tyrannies it was very common, it's just that the West did not have tyrannies quite on this level since ancient times, nor any as evil as this one.

  298. Yes, this is correct. Social degradation makes life difficult. Community building is probably something to be investing in as an actual thing and not just a corporate buzz word. The number one investment is time, as social relationships are built on the social stuff, not government grants, even if grants are measurable.

  301. It should be noted that sexual liberation in Weimar Germany was very much tied into poverty, there were a lot of widows and families who lost everything, there were also people with access to foreign capital who made a lot of money. Prostitution became rampant as people did everything they could to survive. Not just the National Socialists but the Conservatives and the Communists were all in agreement that this state of being had to be stamped out. Very few of the women under it had any complaints about getting an opportunity of a better life, their customer base were perhaps less pleased, which is often the case, predatory men have always been the main beneficiaries of sexual liberation, as it alienates women from social institutions which could protect them. Unfortunately often very young and vulnerable women.

  303. Also in the countries it will be interpreted as do up support the state they represent rather than the individual. In the West also politicians are basically frontmen for corruption, a question like do you support the Monarchy (in Britain) or the republic (in France) is much more comparable and has similar results.
    13
  304. That got out of hand. As the OP said the inquisition and so on have a propagandised reputation that is only now being corrected. The whole nationalist rant about Queen Elizabeth, British colonialism ect is...errr....debatable. Franco was personally anti-Semitic though the Nazi's probably wouldn't have considered him such but he was also not sympathetic to the holocaust and as a Catholic was more than happy to shelter any of it's potential victims that managed to get to Spain but didn't help them with anything outside his borders beyond being a potential protection to Spainish Catholic priests who were suspected of being involved in ratlines to Spain. Should be noted that it any of those Jews or any other suitable (e.g. Not British or American) foreigners were known leftists, communists, ect he packed them on the first train to Germany, but he was generally uncooperative otherwise. It's hard to say how much he helped as unlike the polish resistance most of what happened stayed off the books especially as the same people smuggling networks (or ratlines) that were set up would be used post war for Nazi's to escape capture, also Franco had little personal involvement as it was mostly done by the church (though he supported anything they did up to the hilt). There may well have been Jewish children who ended up in Spainish Catholic orphanages however if so the church unlike in Poland failed to record original identities or inform anyone of the fact post-war and they were raised Catholic (which would have been a win win as far as Franco was concerned).

  307. It is probably in the Hungarian national interest for Russia to win, the EU is after all an existential threat to national autonomy and the social influence of America on it's network of proxy states is proving to be an existential danger to the continuation of its subjects, both in terms of their unique cultural identities and even more seriously the long term existence of these ethnic groups as people's caused by low birthrates and replacement migration.
    13
  308. Who's being imperialist by talking about them like that, the poles, the tartars or the russians. They at least all seem to have agree on what they were as do historians today. The Tartars lead away hundreds of thousands into slavery, I doubt the area was able to defend itself prior to the Cossacks from people who sacked cities in Poland, Russia and even sacked Moscow itself. I would gladly be proven wrong if you could cite up to date scholarship countering those points.
    13
  309. It wasn't the Serbians, I can say that with certainty. This assassin say he was put on an operation during the war, he had plenty of better priorities than some random BBC journalist. Most likely she was killed by a hitman commissioned by someone within prominent domestic institutions. Most likely something to do with the BBC and the child sa rings that had been operating for decades. The police were told to make a hash of things, as they were with those rings and with similar matters like Rotherham.
    13
  310. A couple of things, Ukrainians and Cossacks aren't as simple as being one, for example the Soviet union forced Cossacks to learn Ukrainian as a way to suppress local dialects and Cossack culture. The civil wars often had little concept of nationalism before the birth of the concept. The Russian civil war wasn't nearly as straight forward as outlined, white officers were surprised by the loyalty of many Cossacks to the old regime though other factions had little and Cossacks as a whole were largely reactive, settling down with agreements before taking up arms when the red started murdering civilians on mass with the clear intent of genocide. Cossacks due to their unique social structures played a very different role to Ukrainians in the war (though both were extensively victimised, though the Cossacks were even more pointedly so, the jews also got special attention but likely not with orders from the top but rather anti-Semitism adding on to the depravity of the Soviet troops).
    13
  311. All the classes would find modern people deeply repugnant on a moral level, they would likely also interpret us as soft rather than lucky. They would also find state power extremely tyrannical, ironically a major topic of interest during their time period and one of the reasons they were so much less bureaucratic and the police were an unarmed civilian body. The upper class would be more likely to tolerate modern society as they contained most of the degenerates and socialists of the time period, though the socialists at least would still be scandalized. The middle class were performatively moralistic and would hate modern times with every fiber of their being. The working class would probably be extremely unimpressed by the physical and mental weakness of their descendants, the lack of community and how few children people have. They would all be disgusted by divorce and the normalisation of children and sex out of wedlock and abortion would probably result in them viewing us like we view Nazi's.
    13
  312. The idea that you could raise loyalists in rebel territory was a regular mistake of the British, as the British did not control the territory their property would be burned and their families attacked, unsurprising the British inability to protect them meant that unless fanatical or already deprived of their property most loyalists would merely pray for them to take the territory over and only commit once they had. The British strategy was largely naive, and their belief that a large portion of the population were their own meant that they did not use devastation as they could very easily have. Unsurprisingly no rebellion lasts long that has no food, but instead they fought a gentlemen's war against traitors. As said, they were naive.

  315. From what historians can tell it was largely confined to specific circles, often with a family history of personal depravity (and often as not childhood abuse), and especially during the Victorian period was not widespread, most people were sincere in their moralizing.
    13
  316. It's an attempted revival and like many doesn't really work very well outside of a context of developed into. On the other hand they have more kids than most Russians, are genuine in their confidence at least and are willing to put their money were their mouth is by fighting in proxy conflicts and backing up the regime in the hope of concessions. It's early day's yet but I'm sure they can carve out a new niche for themselves if given the time to. Given the current problems of Russia, repopulation is probably the effort they would be the most worthwhile in, if they could set up self-replicating functioning communities once again then then those could be transplanted like plant cuttings across large depopulated areas. Their religiosity, higher birth rates, loyalty to the central power and willingness to endure hardship to prove themselves would make them good candidates for such an effort, even better if they are partly self-autonomous like their processors so that success or failure is not reliant on weird bureaucratic nonsense but rather on evolutionary principals. It could also be the failsafe if Putin is unsuccessful in getting the mainstream birthrate back to sustainable levels. The legitimacy of claims is much less important than how they can be used.

  318. They took the gothic elements a bit seriously, on top of this Christianity has a mostly aesthetic presence as the Catholic church will be given a heavy symbolic presence and then the author will make it known that he has no idea that Catholic priests take vows of celibacy, can't marry and don't burn people alive on Saturdays.

  319. The main opponents of the early feminists were the Christian's, they weren't right wing, it's just that racial science and eugenics was very popular within the left of the time alongside socialism and other more recognisable policy interests.

  320. I have an entire book on ottoman border fortresses somewhere, after the the initial conquests the ottomans and Austrians were engaged in over two centuries of siege warfare, fort construction and raiding by irregular and semi-regular forces. The Hungarian border was perhaps the biggest centre of fortress warfare in the early modern period, even if the French are more famous for their innovation in the field.

  322. Japan was utterly different and poorly researched due to a predominance of worse historians than elsewhere (they have fixed on fascism as an aesthetic as they very quickly ran into the problem that the Japanese were very blatantly not fascist and showed every sign of not even understanding the ideology). Spain had fascists but they were as different as Mosley is from Mussolini and were largely intentionally disempowered by Franco who was probably less fascist than Churchill and FDR (he was an authoritarian, a rabid Catholic and a monarchist, one also gets the impression that he was a political realist and largely non-ideological but rather very religious (if the two can even be said to be different things), in short he was an actual reactionary who hated all forms of revolutionary thought).

  325. The boats didn't have their rudders (a fact which would doom them) which suggests that it was all planned in advance. The British also got the same account independently from multiply mutineers they questioned about the massacre being ordered to start. On top of this the period history book I was just reading said that wheeler was killed separately from everyone else as he was carried due to injury (don't know how reliable that is however as it's very much a popular history rather than a first hand or more dry account). It should be noted that the vengeance was much less than many military men wanted, later on in the conflict pardons were offered and a good deal of the personal accounts condemn them and the civil service who came up with them. Also both British and Indian troops were deeply effected by Cornpore (or cowpor as I generally call it despite the claim that that is an outdated version turning up in a letter from around this time period, I like the fact that it gives it connection to cowpens, another momentous event in shaping the future of the British empire), the European military families were a small society in India and even if one wasn't somehow related though marriage to someone else you would almost certainly know them or of them, with so many being killed almost every soldier of long service would have had to a great or lesser extent have know someone (and probably many someone's) who were killed, this is one of the reasons why all concept of mercy were largely abandoned, if you were an officer looking at that house or well and knowing that your sister-in-law and her children ended up there or if you were a common soldier (Indian or European) who had bobbed one of those children up and down on your knee and let them play with your hat while resting when passing through the station then it becomes very apparent why the reaction was raw undiluted guttural rage. It likewise made the issue of who was on the side of justice self explanatory not only to the British but to everyone around them (and as it was largely emotional anyone who disagreed was libel to actual danger of being killed or savaged), from a purely political perspective it was basically the biggest gift to the British cause the rebels could have given and it basically sunk any actual hope of the rebellion succeeding.

  326. The Romans believed in miracles and thus thought that Christians were cannibals for consuming the flesh and blood of Christ in the sacrament. They also were not happy with the Christian belief that their God's were demons and their refusal to make sacrifices to them, especially civil ones (the state mandated sacrifices to bring fortune to the empire, by refusing Christians were seen as undermining the favour of the God's towards rome). They also thought Christian miracles were lame as they didn't result in lots of people dying or epic Homeric heros, but rather in insignificant plebs getting cured from leprosy and the like. They also were poor as they took in the children thrown out to die in the mass infanticide of the period and would have many children themselves at a time when citizens had very few which weren't abandoned. They did however have a great deal of political influence as many Roman and Greek intellectuals converted early on, and later many nobles and men of influence did, and they gave very freely to support other Christians and made it have a highly educated and connected leadership class. This was not part of their reputation however as Romans preferred to point out their mercy and influence on slaves and other despised groups, and their constant efforts to convert and reform prostitutes and willingness to care for the sick and useless, all of which was seen as contemptible. They did whoever respect their attitude towards death and persecution, which to the Romans was virtuous, bravery being a treasured national ideal. This guy thought they were a heretical sect of Buddhists.

  329. One interesting point is that if you look at a map the famine corresponds most heavily to cossack populated areas, notably leaving the borders of Ukraine to do so, and heavily effecting the lower Caucasus, in which the kuban Cossacks were based. The Soviets had a very long conflict with them, having wanted to wipe them out in the civil war but being unable to due to the military effectiveness of Cossack social organisation (they could very quickly mobilise large forces which the Soviets had trouble countering, as cavalry remained highly effective), from then on there was an attempt to make Cossacks Ukrainian at the same time as there was one to make the Ukrainians Russian (Cossacks spoke localised dialects often derived from Ukrainian but also cut-off, just like their society), they also wiped out much of the leadership class. If the intention had been to combat Ukrainian nationalists their stronghold was western Ukraine, and though secrecy was likely a large part in not focusing as heavily in those regions targeting the Cossacks was likely a good deal of the motivation as they had proven a considerable danger to the Soviets, while Ukrainian nationalists were openly mocked throughout the history of the Soviet union, notably within the leadership. The rhetoric is also different, if you look into it the intentions towards the Cossacks was open and extremely long lived, while Ukrainian nationalists were mocked for their dress and language the attitude towards the Cossacks was genocidal. That of course doesn't mean that Stalin didn't also take it as an opportunity to wipe out Ukrainians in eastern Ukraine and replace them with Russians, or indeed that he cared about collateral damage much at all.

  330. Notably religious authority remained with the emperor for a long time, in the person of the holy Roman emperor's in the west and the Tsars in the east. This was upset by personal ambitions during the reformation, though interestingly only Henry made himself an emperor, many of the continental protestants continued to acknowledge the emperor even if they were hostile to the pope and politically it didn't mean much (Bismarck was annoyed to find that the Prussian royal family considered themselves still bond by feudal oath to the emperors of Austria (who were the successors to the holy Roman emperor. And as late as the early 20th century Austrian emperors could and did veto candidates for pope. It might also be mentioned that a certain group was exiled from their homeland by the Romans and have a pathological obsession with destroying it's legacy, being very aware of the religious continuation through the church. They are probably more than 90% the reason why people don't know the basic self-perception of Christendom for the last 1900 years or something ridiculous. A core competent of secularism has been deconstructing Rome. To be honest I don't think the liberals have any motivation in the direction things have gone, they like to larp as Rome, not desecrate it (or rather not intentionally).

The subject of God was controversial among party members, many of the ideologues of the party were from the esoteric and spiritualist movements of the early 20th century, and a good few were straight up pagan revivalists. But the itself army remained fairly traditionalist, with northern Germans being Lutheran and Bavarians and Austrians Catholic. Ironically there were also some Orthodox from the White Russian diaspora who were heavily involved in the German Right from the early days.

  343. Bronze swords are actually fine weapons, the edge is hardened by hammering and they bend rather than break so can be bent back. They can cut into steel as well as many other swords. They might have been logistically intensive to create and softer than iron but they were still very capable for their purpose. Lots of youtubers have made videos with reproductions, it sounds like your information is coming from the assumptions of historians without practical experience or specific knowledge of the subject. Maces and spears predominated due to cost of manufacture. This is a long period however and later on there was a shift towards more resource intensive warfare, which included a lot of bronze.

You should read into the Russian civil war, many of these opinions are very much more formed by recent political events than by economics. A wide band of political opinion, including that even of many German Jews at the time is fundamentally similar due to what was happening in the East, and conflicts with the German communists. Every political faction, including very left wing ones were horrified by the terror, and blamed it on "internationalists", this was seen as a personal threat due to what was happening. It's his solutions that are defining him at this point more so than his opinions.

  348. This is all about the definition, many of these supposed non-mercenaries were historically recognised as mercenaries, it didn't matter if they were part of a bodyguard or received payment in land. It was a know them when you see them type thing. Also it was often an insult towards foreigners on the other side, to both the Austrians and Ottomans the Serbs fighting for them were vassals and those fighting for the other were mercenaries or raiders.

  349. Terrible idea, women in their forties have birth defects at a similar rate to children of incest. Women should have children young and focus of education and career later if indeed it matters at all. Likewise women who have children young have far less problems with birth later on than first time mothers who are older. Also quantity has a quality all of it's own, and the future belongs to those who show up to it. More kids are better.

The law is on their side and will remain so until you wrestle back the institutions, for issues like this it has long been displayed that the only means of pressure is praxis as the leftists call it, for those who don't know what that entails let's just say that the only one who have been able to overpower their attacks are the Muslim community and areas where groups from the Irish troubles continue to hold strong.

  351. Except that the Normans weren't ever really French but formed their own distinct culture and would be a major political threat to the king for centuries, always looking to overthrow him, even the hundred years war could be said to come about from these ambitions. The frenchness of the Normans was coupled with their ambition to take France for themselves and the later arising of English identity was a great boon to the French as it meant that French lords wouldn't switch sides so easily. Things were the worst when the English nobility could be called Anglo-norman and mixed the strengths and ambitions of both, luckily the the English would have a lot less of an ambition to take France for themselves, unluckily the hatred of the French would remain deeply rooted in English culture and pass on to the British identity, which meant that while they stopped being an existential threat there would always the motivation to drag France back down into the mud should they ever start to gain preeminence.

  354. It is a matter of shared values and culture, if you have people with different ones then you can't work under the assumption that people will be honest or well meaning. Many of the foreign cultures will also have conflicting values to the point where coexistence was traditional only in the form of subjugation, we are now seeing why those sensitivities were in place in the first place. For example the British tended to get on with and find many points of cultural similarity with the Sikhs when in India, now that Sikhs are in Britain they continue to have warm relations with the surrounding Brits, Muslims have traditionally been loathed by the whole of Europe, now they are over here differences in how women are treated (e.g. the fact they aren't locked up and protected by their family due to a traditionally high trust society and the moral particularities of Christianity making most other people trustworthy and the remainder liable to execution historically) means that they sexually assault children on an industrial scale. Being more welcoming is not a resolution it is a curse on the people who have to pay the cost.

And yet you rarely see these problems manifest in crime and violence in such communities, certainly they have major problems with drugs and depression but the crime is largely the urban youth and disproportionately among those of relatively recent arrival.

  360. If I am wearing an SS uniform and spend my days taking pot shots at minorities from my lawn then my claim to be a social and political progressive are not to be taken as fact, self-identification is not the be all and end all. While there are plenty of groups in contradiction with their principles there is a point at which they are such basic fundamental principals and so many that the organisation may be said to be it's own thing and any attempt at association merely an attempt at cloaking themselves in part of the legitimacy and reputation of the other group. This group is one that is in violation of many basic Christian teachings and is offensive to Christian morality, they are very much like a scam email that tell you that they are from a legitimate company and are treated with similar contempt even by very unorthodox groups of Christians (though perhaps not all as Christians are not nearly good enough at gatekeeping), academia also categorizes such groups separately.

  366. It is wrong to claim that feminism didn't double the labour force, women before it were not in the same type of work, they were mostly involved in cottage industry, family businesses or very localised jobs, this meant they could still look after and have kids. Once they are in professional company work they are heavily dissuaded from having children and pushed towards greater workforce participation, as women are psychologically agreeable this has marked effects and as they have bills to pay they can't easily escape. Traditional societies had substantially different priorities, they were not profit based but religious and formally hierarchical. The priorities were family, salvation of the soul and a stable social order. This radically factored in to how they acted, to a degree that is hard to imagine for modern people, as we are fish in the waters of the current.

  368. The Japanese military desperately needs to expand, but it should have as much industry as possible within Japan. Total self-sufficiency is not possible due to a very weak resource base, but as much of the supply chain as possible must be local, as if there is a war America will not only have to produce for the world, but will be able to dictate prices. The British empire was bankrupted by business with the Americans, for whom the intention was very much to destroy the British economy and steal all their wealth. America is not a friend even of its own people, it benefits a small influential class, some of rich, but mostly the management class, who run the actual systems. The whole insulting Japanese self-preference is merely pressure to conform, Japan has become a model for western politically opposition, they say 'a slow economic decline due to low birthrates is better than destroying the nation, people and society with immigration ', this worries those who are benefited by low wages or are motivated by animus towards civilisation. The Japanese should not have US military bases, American influence is undoubtedly bad, while they remain Japan is stuck within a westernized political framework at a time of western decline and it's cultural, social and political degradation. Japan should think about another period of isolation, and possibly reinvigorating Confucianism as a way to strengthen social bonds and reform the system of social life which has proved infertile and depressing.

  369. Central Asia is dominated by Turkic groups. They came through with the Mongols but the Mongols did not have the population density to take over, the Turks did. The well known Turks came into Anatolia in a prior migration, famously winning a battle against the Byzantines. The first Mughal emperor was a descendant of Tamerlame, the great conqueror who existed in the context created by the Mongol invasions long before. Prior to Turkic groups moving in Central Asia was populated by Iranian speaking Europeans (genetically at least, they were descended from our common ancestors would had gone east rather than West out of the pontic steppe), a few still exist in Afghanistan and the ancient Parthians were that, but they were wiped out by successive migrations and Persian duplicity, Tom Holland's book on the rise of Islam goes into it.

The first human civilisations were more sophisticated than Africa is now. However the Ethiopians have long claimed not to be African as they do not have the highest regard for their neighbours, and to be fair they have a point, they have a very long history of stateship, even if not a very much more proud one than others, and Europeans historically acknowledged them as Human's and Christians, where as it was and remains a matter of debate regarding most from that region.

They were disproportionately involved both in the advances of the Victorian era and in the British Empire. The barbarian thing comes from braveheart, the pop culture around the highlanders (much of which is barely based in history) and the fact that the country is in a much worse state now than it was then, if all someone has experienced of Scotland was a Saturday night in Glasgow then obviously the impression isn't going be good, it also doesn't help that like England it is highly politically dysfunctional.

  401. tldr: I wasn't arguing he was a monarch, I would not consider him one myself, I was just pointing out that the reasoning for him being democratic will have very heavy similarities with the historical justifications of kingship, though through the ideas of Rousseau (which is ironic), rather than Christian theology. An interesting point is that after the revolution several French monarchs would have the same conception of monarchy as encapsulating the public will, and indeed they were in dispute with a faction called the ultras ("more royalist than the king") over it, probably an interesting subject to look into. I think there's some confusion, monarchist justifications for power rely on a mixture of very ancient tribal conceptions of patriarchal authority (basically all political authority in the ancient world developed out of patriarchal tribal structures, itself an interesting point due to the enlightenment arguments about the state of nature, in the historical state of nature people lived in clans, thus alot of the enlightenment assumptions are very very radical because they are a break towards a very indervidualist conception of man, it doesn't help that whig historians went back and reinterpreted a lot of history to justify their political and ideological loyalties. Anyway, ancient societies didn't always retain patriarchal governments, but they evolved away from it by devolving patriarchal power to other institutions, this power was usually understood in religious terms as the patriarch was the priest of ancestor veneration.), these conceptions existed in basically every human society up till recently, but the history of their development in the west is particular. We are a steppe people, and most of europe and western asia has common origin with us, certainly in linguistics but also genetic studies are increasingly showing by relation (masaman is a good channel about this), importantly this includes religion, the pantheon of the pagan religions in this wide region have origin in the ancestral worship of those origin peoples, with a common belief that they were descended from those God's. The conception of the religious authority of the king went in many directions over time, but the importance on for us is that it was resurrected by the Roman Emperors, Caesar held the title that would develop into Pope, as did his successors, they held a religious authority over the empire, and when the empire Christianised they retained it, the Byzantine emperor was not just a ruler but a conduit between heaven and earth, on top of this because Christians worship God as their father and a Monarch is a Patriarch of a People the Emperor became seen as fulfilling the role of God on earth. There were of course tensions, the Pope was a separate office and Popes came to covet that authority for themselves, however they needed more than spiritual authority to do it, offered the role of emperor with strings attached (notably the string that religious authority was superior to secular authority, and then spent all the way up to the reformation fighting over it with their emperors) to Germanic Kings. In the east I know less because it's not an area of interest, but generally things seemed to have remained the same, with some problems with autocephaly upsetting the strict relationship between orthodox states. But after the same general concept remained and would be taken up by the other orthodox states (though most were subjugated shortly afterwards). I'm wondering how to describe this as it's a rabbithole, I think I shall refer to other places to look. In the Russian context there was a strong monarchist/orthodox theological intellectual tradition, for a general overview I recommend apostolic majestys channel, and to understand the background of the Romanov dynasty I heavily recommend 'Russia's First Civil War' by Chester Dunning and to understand their early rule 'By Honor Bound: State and Society in Early Mordern Russia' by Nancy Kollmann. Annnd I've got to go, I'll come back to this later.

If anything they may be worse as they make their religious pronouncements about reality and therefore unlike traditional religions leave no room for interpretation, evolution or the simple likelihood of being wrong, and in a match up between blatant truth and unhinged dogma it is clear that believers will try and fit any square peg through any round hole irregardless of the human cost or plainfaced absurdity.

In prior times one might have called it incompetence, but it's increasingly clear that it's just plain of corruption, some of the money being skimmed off ends up with those in government who issued the contacts, that's the actual business model, not whatever the company is meant to be doing, which is why they are always so bad at it.

  417. Given what was said here it was likely that this group were part of a retribution organisation, it was heard that he was on holiday as his wife said she'd be out of town that that was misinterpreted by the locals. They planned to burn the house while he was away to force him to take their threats seriously. Instead he was there and after a likely confrontation an ineffective firefight took place. They firebombed the house and continued to exchange fire with piper. Because of his seclusion neighbours were not able to immediately report the fire otherwise the group likely would have been trapped in by firefighters and police coming in behind them and been caught. Likewise they were very lucky he was a tank commander rather than a crack shot because they were pretty lousy as well. They were lucky to get away before help arrived but literally every other part of the plan went wrong. Shaken up by the failure of their planned harassment and by symbolically massive police inquiries they dissolved as a group and thus other German veterans would remain safe and indeed continue to live in peace nearby. While they lived with the fear that someone from their community might go have chat with the police, given that a man had died.

One example is that he was told by some sailors that they had been around Africa and he said he didn't believe them because they said that the sun rouse from the opposite side of the sky, something which proves that they were mostly likely telling the truth. A more discerning historian wouldn't have recorded any of that, the what that he was modest and admitted he didn't know everything and that he was just recording what others said makes him the best source historians could hope for for the period, there plenty of periods were the sources either don't exist or are thinly veiled propaganda in a political context historians have trouble even understanding because that's their only source.

Plenty of charities it's just that most are poorly disguised money laundering operations or fronts for political shenanigans (guess how extinction rebellion are funded). British is unfortunately a sinking ship under there is absolutely no possibly of democratic reform given the current state of the political system. Yeah the cultures awful, the problem is finding people outside of it, it's easy to not participate but have to form counter-action without anyone else, the traditionalists have the problem of being a large movement of people who want to break out of the paradigm, settle down and start families but they are over 95% male and a lot of the outlier don't seem to understand that it's a genuine sentiment and not a bizarre sexualized roleplay movement and so the tend to not fit in very well by sexualizing themselves thinking it will earn them brownie points. We'll have to see were things go but from where I'm standing the only thing the establishment is doing is piling up kindling around themselves alongside earning the deep enmity and resentment of significant portions of the population, increasingly the only card they hold is compulsion through hard power, most of the legitimacy has been stripped away and is now viewed with contempt.

  434. The African American vote exists and would mean that America would be permanently hostile (hell it would probably make them more hostile than the average African country). Rhodesia isn't going to do anything about western political trends, if anything they would be worse as right wingers would have the option of simply migrating rather than mounting resistance in their own country. China already trys to appeal to basically anyone, the people they bribe would most likely just ignore in in the same way that westerners ignore that most terrorist groups are being funded by a certain two middle eastern allies. Any real tensions would be over the migration rights of Chinese citizens, the rhodesians almost certainly wouldn't want them due to fears of being flooded and turned into the Chinese foothold in Africa (which to be fair is exactly what I would do if in China's position with such an opportunity) but obviously making it an explicitly racial policy wouldn't help with national pr and they would likely allow South Koreans in and almost certainly Japanese. Rhodesias position as a bread basket would largely make their long term prospects of relations with neighbouring states hopeful, especially if they aren't feared to have territorial ambitions. The strong economy also means that they would very likely start offshoring work to less developed surrounding states which would create a dependency and mean considerable soft power. Some African states would likely also take inspiration though that would probably vary from empty campaign promises of similar living standards to (most likely Malawi) basically become protectorates or else imitating them to a painstaking degree in the hope of similar results, unsurprisingly for the most part the states doing best now would stand to learn the most due to having the best institutions to implement things successfully. The existence of a military power to the South might also make regional confederations less half-hearted, the African Union would probably be quite a bit more relevant and would also likely see a good bit of western involvement. Western media would also more likely have interest in localised conflicts if Rhodesia was involved and knowing them they would insinuate that they were whether or not they were actually involved (Was General Butt-Naked trained by Rhodesian special forces!!!

  442. China has been deeply influenced by Buddhism, though it never supplanted Confucianism (though not for lack of trying) it has at times matched or surpassed Taoism in cultural and moral influence, indeed it could be said to have been China who spread it and preserved it's relevance as a part of their role as the cultural, social and political hegemon of their region for centuries. You are right about Chinese attitudes to sin but not to western, Confucius viewed humans as innately good, modern westerners also do, but historical westerners didn't and Christianity still doesn't. Christianity supported harsh punishments and believe that people are constantly struggle against inclination towards evil, as well as repent their inevitable failures. This created a very trusting society, which was intensely legalistic (in part because you were answerable to God for your oaths, which meant you could go to hell for breaking them) and managed to maintain being both individualist and harmonious. This broke apart due to religious infighting in the reformation mixed with the power of the printing press to spread ideas, true or false. During the enlightenment these circumstances lead to philosophers assuming that all the harmoniousness in society was natural to mankind and that the problems were created by the Catholics (many of these people were influenced by the propaganda campaigns of a century before which historians have only recently started to disprove) and later on Christians as a whole, some like the Americans created a political philosophy out of it and left existing belief structures intact (this is under the influence of the English school of liberalism), but in France Rousseau would become the many source of all thought since then. Rousseau thought that men were naturally good and pure in a state of nature but that society was impure and corrupted them, he accepted the Christian categorisation of the natural vices that people are inclined to but said that they were good by nature of being natural and the the virtues are evil because they are imposed on man. He also had a vision of utopia, these has had profound effects on western society with there in effect being a religious struggle between the Christians and the Rousseauians for centuries now, the Rousseauians have by now pretty thoroughly won, having taken over even many churches but there thought is all the same anathema to any western thought previous to three centuries ago and much in the intervening period. I was reading something the other day by a Japanese man and it became clear that most East Asians are unaware of the delineation and tend to mix the ideologies together, though there is a tradition of syncretism in the East there is not in the West, we for centuries burnt people who did not conform and even now ideologies have little room for competition and tend to live by the sword. In short the libertinism comes from the new worship of human freedom, often to the point of believing the will free from the body. Christianity was morally uncompromising and would have punished many of our current cultural expressions with fire and brimstone, they were early and profound enemies of slavery, infanticide, abortion, sexual immortality, adultery, abortion, the selling of children and the mistreatment of women. You can have a guess how much influence they have when our society looks like this, the Chinese have encountered actual Christians before as the Victorian period was a period of Christian revival, you can likely attest to them being a lot more formidable than whatever moral system we are supposedly working under now. Likewise there is much talk in officialdom of the period of the right to good governance, you can judge for yourself what we have now.

It seems like self-reflection is not a very strong skill, but it is vital for research purposes. Unfortunately I doubt you will course correct at all unless you yourself come to the realisation that you have been misinterpreting a considerable amount due to knowledge deficiencies colliding with confirmation bias. I'm pretty sceptical about academia myself, but you do need to consult with the academic literature a whole lot more, as your misconceptions are escalating wildly.

On top of this the Chinese nationalist support the CCP is relying on is not ideological communist but Chinese traditionalist, if it comes down to hard tacks they would support a return of the imperial system, the central government largely retains their support due to foreign policy, or the fact they consider the growth in the power of China and resistance to the American imperial project to be their primary priority.

  458. Such is a social death spiral, there is a reason Confucianism and Christianity assign a social structure in which the young look after the old and have children to look after them. In a sense the social structures and norms have to be designed to combat these issues and it is only natural selection that those which did became dominant. This in large part seems like a justification for dewestisfication, many of the social structures and norms adopted by Japan are simply not functional in perpetuating society, if Japan is to succeed they should look west for errors rather than models. As to solutions social pressure to marry, a prioritization of prestige for large families over career progression, a robust legal and moral strengthening of successful family structures and possibly a reintroduction of arranged marriage are likely to work. Whatever is done however the dating system, liberal social attitudes, norms and legal protections and an obsession with corporate professions are proven failures. Japan does not need economic growth, it needs people.

  468. As the mention of the scaffold being ready beside the man given a favour suggests the favour is to be beheaded rather than hanged. Hanging had little of the scientific touch than would later come about at this time though an experienced and professional executioner could still do a world of difference, as such someone dieing through strangulation rather than the drop was by no means uncommon and sometimes intentional. Men lasting 20 to 40 minutes before death was to be expected in such cases and the trousers were tied at the ankles as the loosening of the bowels and ejaculation under such treatment was to be expected, friends and family of the condemned were expected to pull on their legs to help they along. Hanging was also seen as a thief's death and a public humiliation. Beheading on the other hand was seen as near instantaneous so long as the head was removed on the first try (which didn't always happen even for the executioner in this video) and while not necessarily prestigious was a good deal less humiliating than twitching on the end of a rope in public view for an unspecified amount of time. It's likely that most of the people he executed asked for their head to be taken however if not specified by the court and without the intercession of friend's, family or priests deciding his method the decision was up to the executioner himself (though he couldn't skip other methods of suffering meant to be carried out before the death itself without specific permission) an as such was considered a favour by him to the condemned though in this case his judgement of the character of the condemned (had they repented, were they sorry for their actions and not just themselves, had they been forthcoming in their admissions to him and been polite and well behaved as prisoners) as well as discussions with the priest prior to the execution would be decisive in whether such a favour would be extended.

  469. Great another 'no true liberalism' segment. Carl has become more sophisticated in understanding that the liberal appeal is basically a magic hat trick which supplants the values underlying Christian/traditional views of hierarchy and morality with those concocted to support the power and moral sensibilities of liberal oligarchs instead.

  471. Stephen Shaw (who is japan based), has pointed out that mothers have As many children as ever. The problem is people who don't get or stay married, basically the old social structures of arranged marriage and courting, as well as large but close family and community structures served a purpose. Capitalism has It's place but it is a consuming force, if you put all your crops into the fire it will burn ferocious but you will have nothing to plant; it will go out and you will be both hungry and cold. Ultimately the national, social, ethnic, cultural and human existence is worth continuing over GDP figures or short-term prosperity. The real trouble is uncertainty, if people feel like they will be supported in having kids they will have them, this is not in child care, which has serious detrimental impacts on children and costs a bomb, this is in community support structures, reliable work and a feeling of purpose. There is a reason that fertility is heavily tied to religion. Likewise Japan should learn to decouple from western innovations, many of these are hardly good, and only become worse when made more efficient in the hands of the Japanese. Also if you have immigration limit it to native European families and Chinese and Koreans who speak the language, even that would be a struggle, but it would not destroy the Japanese people. Also your politician is mad, and ignorant, and I say that as someone to the considerable right of him.

  473. No they were, unless you are talking about Pakistan today or China 100 years ago. Marriages having to be consensual was brought in by the church back in the dark ages, there were still arranged marriages commonly but the couple had the last say. During the whole medieval period most people got married at 16-22 to people in a similar age, in the case of a marriage arranged younger the girl would stay with her family until her late teens. The church was strongly against early marriage and widely publicised its negatives such as the health risks. We also know about some exceptions to the norm because angry priests wrote about them, and sometimes went on about them for centuries afterwards if something bad happened (like a miscarriage) as a warning (like happened to an English King who's 14 year old bride was made infertile after her first child, leaving the kingdom with only one option for heir and crowned heads to wonder what would have happened it the child had been a girl). Big age differences were also viewed as weird though people just thought it was unlikely to lead to a happy marriage rather than knocking down anyone's door, a great deal of age difference marriages were also younger men to older women due to the social system, especially after wars or in the crusader states. Women weren't seen as chattel (they ran the household, managed the children and controlled the finances), and we have enough muslim sources going about it to know, it's just that medieval people did not care about equality (as in they believed that hierarchy was natural and divinely mandated) and women doing the same thing as men wouldn't be considered equal as they didn't think that women and men were the same, and considering the type of labour that men were involved in it would be the women who would go after you if you suggested differently.

  474. A couple of things, one the guy at the beginning might be handsome but he's not what most people with serious relationships in mind are looking for, indeed he does not at all seem like someone even looking for something serious in the first place also his personality will be an impediment if it has any crossover with the online persona he has. Two, shy guy's find rejection painful and have doubts about whether someone likes them just as much, not trying is a lot easier than either meanwhile women who are too aggressive come off as not taking things seriously (one issue is that is actually the case with a lot of men who do "well" at dating), ultimately friend groups might be the most important in solving such issues as they can confirm interest without upsetting the status quo, that said friends often don't want to involve themselves incase things don't turn out well so as to not be responsible for starting a failed relationship or having to take sides in the fallout. The fact that such conversations are even contemplated however is a very good sign, one that many western nations markedly lack.

Whatever happens Liberalism has grim prospects, the main alternative to a rightward swing (what women think is next to irrelevant in a conflict, especially when they aren't even married) is the Islamisation of Europe. This is one of the very few things that is a cause of optimism as to our prospects, that with liberalism's death we may be released of the force strangling our civilisation, and which has devolved us to this point already.

Morality and the shared understanding of what reality is needs foundations of belief, otherwise other beliefs systems will be able to undermine ideas based on nothing but precedence, in the way dead wood will make way for living roots. In the west foundation is Christianity and it's roots run right to the heart of our civilisation as it was once a vigorous tree which shaped institutions and social norms which are to this day utterly unique and cannot live outside of it's shade.

The real advantage the Russians have is that they haven't offshored or intentionally eroded vital industry (which in their case is everything they have) and that they mostly struggle with direct corruption which unlike the more subtle forms rampant in the west tend to make itself scarce once once the stakes increase (e.g. once people start being killed for it), though the problem that then brings up is that people start playing pass the parcel with blame and there is a risk of actually skilled people rising through the system and displacing the crooks (which both in Russia and the West is the last thing the political class want).

To organise such a more would require multiple different institutions to significantly reform and cooperate. America has major issues due to a lenient legal system, imagine what Italy is like. Basically you need executive power to resolve it, and executive power is undemocratic.

  504. If such people are successfully able to become an elite isn't that a serious problem for wider society in itself, might this be why hereditary aristocracy was favoured historically, to block out the merely ambitious in favour of highly intelligent people who are grounded and willing to shake things up for the sake of higher ideals (e.g. prioritising their own people and the responsibility of their station over merely prestige signalling and playing for status no matter the actual state of reality). This might explain why extremely hierarchical societies like mediaeval Christians or migration era Germans were less decadent than meritocratic societies despite the elite having much more unchecked power.

We don't need a rise in sectarianism to accompany descent into crisis, we need large scale reform from the top down, libertarians either must support factions sympathetic to their end goals or be fall divided to the simple willingness of totalitarians to organise on the necessary scale. Libertarians are basically doomed if the continue to view their ideals as doctrine. Even Marxist historical theory doesn't stop them from making practical political efforts, don't throw out the toys you have just because you don't have all the one's you want.

I seriously recommend the recent stream on CIA involvement in culture during the cold war by Academic Agent (here on youtube) to understand how the narrative shifted, it was deliberate policy and some important figures were involved.

If you are going to continue research into ideology this is important information to factor in.

  516. The main winner would be Britain, the US would split into different states that could be played against each other in the same way as Europe. The US civil war would only improve the situation for them and the whole of America would likely enter the British sphere of influence, with the US itself remaining the most reluctant and probably paying for it. American culture would have ended up with British influence in the same way as American influence has a hold over modern Britain. It is pretty much certain that Imperialism never would have ended and many European countries would have remained considerably more monarchical and aristocratic without American intervention.

Taiwanese have fit in relatively well, but that is with active efforts by the community and friendly relations between the countries, Chinese and Koreans are not integrated any more that gypsies are in the west even after multiple generations, unless they intermarry into non-existance. Europeans are seen as glamourous but other people's are only welcome through considerable arm twisting. It won't end well, the newcomers are not human in many important senses and the Japanese like all East Asians are passive until the decide not to be, and after that they are nothing if not thorough.

  531. Militarily they did better than they had any right to, almost knocked Austria out of the war and developed some of the early storm tactics. The issue was internal, the duma wanted to take over and conscripts on the home front didn't want to see service, most of the loyalists were at the front and the early part of the revolution was not conveyed up military command. The tsar was urged to abdicate in favour of his son by the military leadership but they didn't know of his sickness and were surprised when the tsar abdicated on his behalf as well, the tsars brother than made the mistake of saying he'd wait for ratification by the duma and obviously they wanted total power so that never happened. The new government then proceeded to wreak everything with almost impressive incompetence, doing stupid shit like allowing soldiers to elect leaders (they elected people good at stealing and avoiding combat) and vote on orders (they voted that other people should fight the enemy), it was a total shitshow and basically rolled out a red carpet to Lenin. The Soviets then rehired a lot of tsarist officers (by taking their families hostage) as it ended up they had all the competent ones, the whites then proved a considerable thorn in the side and the Cossacks were enough of a pain that they tried to exterminate them, several times, they also killed tens of millions more.

  532. The Templars were wealthy bankers, what happened to them followed that model. The popes predecessor have been beaten resulting in injuries leading to death by the King's men for refusing to go along with the plan, so he decided to make good on it, and then secretly pardoned the Templars afterwards. The Templars were never corrupted even if the mystery has fuelled rumours and fiction of that sort, they went to death martyrs to the avarice of a king of France.

  534. Welshman were elite troops, they've never been used as cannonfodder. Indeed due to having a small army generally the British have basically never used their own troops as connonfodder (at least until the telephone meant it could be the politicians calling the shots instead of the military), they did like to pay and supply other countries to use their own armies as it however (or not, who cares as long as they tie down the enemy long enough to nick all of their colonies). The closest thing really is the Australians, excellent soldiers but absolutely awful to deal with behind the lines (they stole like gypsies, got drunk and would beat up anyone including each other and would sexually assault civilian women, the local population would become very hostile as a result) so commanders tended to try and keep them in action as much as possible, and limit the rest time so they couldn't get up to too much trouble, they were involved in the occupation of Japan and some of their officers were kind enough to leave considerable documentation condemning them and recording their atrocities, the French civilians also loathed them in WW1 and they got into trouble basically anywhere they were posted by pissing off the locals. Most other troops were fine however, even if some Irish units had a long tradition misinterpreting private property laws the British army had a long tradition of hanging thieves (the problem with the Australians was largely that since the Boer war they were prosecuted for crimes by their own country, and typically let off Scot free where even their own officers were of the mind to shoot them).

  536. The funny thing was that Latvian troops were the elite of the revolution in the first stages of the civil war, mercilessly massacring rioting peasants and ragtag revolts and being used as a firefighting force to rescue bad situations, but once they were deployed to invade Latvia and do the.same thing ethnic preference kicked in and the soldiers deserted, leaving only the Russian born and speaking ethnic Latvians and Russians who had joined these units due to their prestige making up the manpower of the regiments, they quickly lost elite status. Latvian continued however to form a considerable portion of the footsloggers of the secret police, partly because they weren't deployed to Latvia, partly because they were sort after as they were not reluctant to inflict extreme brutality on innocent Russians. The Chinese were mostly military units and were used to massacre civilians and mutinying red army troops, they were good combat troops, and introduced several horrific methods of torture to the Soviets, including the famous one with the rat and the bucket. Food requisition detachments were probably less heavily ethnically skewed, as the men in them were largely allowed to loot the villages and do what they wanted to the women as long as they brought the grain back, it was a very dangerous job, the peasants understandably loathed them and would killed tens of thousands over the years, but there was never any trouble finding men for such a role.

  537. Not at all, the managerial regime is highly influenced by marx and the liberal thinkers. The opposition is just traditionalist in nature, meaning it is not very democratic or secular, but then both of those things are intrinsically liberal as expressed in our civilisation. Christianity and ethnic loyalties tend to be the most associated with the rejection of the current ruling system.

  538. There are so many things wrong with this that I don't know where to start, this contradicts several things you have recognised in the past, including that communism is the natural conclusion of liberal theory and that America as a liberal state has never had the antibodies to resist what it was taken over by. Also read some of the newer histories on Churchill, he has remarkably little to recommend him, the only time he was ever correct about very much or speaking in the spirit of the national interest was during the Russian civil war, other than that it is much worse than even his critics are usually aware of.

  539. Fantastic video as usual, here what I think of some of what was said. The economics of Japan is so much better than many western countries, sure it isn't modernised and the work environment is tough but young people can afford a house, that isn't a thing here. A lot of the men need to get their priorities straight, it is fine to suffer hardship if you can have children, were is the purpose in dying without having ever contributed and to be buried as the last in your line, your ancestors gave you your opportunities you shame them by putting your life to waste, they brought up large families with a much worse economic situation and suffered though tragedy, don't complain about such petty things. With what the women said a mother contributes many times what a working woman does, a working woman does the labour of one, a mother provides many workers for the future, she if you are high flying you could give the nation and world as many high flying people as you have children just by passing on your capability at home. There is a reason only recent societies have been foolish enough to put women into the workforce, they deflate wages now so that there no people to get paid tomorrow. Technology won't help, selecting sperm in IVF and the like leads to birth defects as does waiting to long to have children, it is only in contravention of nature that women don't have children young, it is what their body is designed around and thus complications are much more likely to occur the later things are left. These areas with better birth rates largely work by attracting people who want to have children, they are a statistical illusion. People have duty, it is not a right to steal from the future in order to ruin now, that is what debt is. People do need to have kids and if the government has to kick women out of work, ban porn or suppress the entertainment industry then so be it, the costs would be much less than doing nothing. I agree that Japan needs more positivity, it sounds like you do too, Japan is very insular many of the things you thing are bad are much worse in every other country, the fact that it is not ignored is a very good sign but perspective also needs to be understood, things not being prefect is an expectation treating it like a justification to not do things is only relinquishing the future to those who care less. As God commanded be fruitful and multiply. That should go before anything else as without it that anything else won't matter at all in just a little time.

  540. You are more used to them in part, Africa is the most ethnically diverse region of the world but it is largely only outwardly visible in the conflicts. The other part is mixing, we have been on the backfoot for millennia, China once had Caucasians, central Asia was once populated by them. The middle East was once substantially less Arab and African. Many prominent Greeks and Romans looked much more northern. The Hungarians and Finns have Siberian origins and groups like the Russians are more cultural than ethnic (though the Chinese are the same), with many very different groups all under one identity. Also for nearly two hundred years the lower orders have had higher fertility than the higher, meaning that many noble lineages have become extinct or diluted.

  543. The French revolution was caused by liberalism, liberalism by the English civil war and the English civil war by the reformation. Prior to that people genuinely thought they were still living in the Roman Empire, just with a German Emperor vested with the authority of the Pope (unless you were in the East, in which case you were Rome's rightful successor, the third and last Rome on a holy mission to liberate Byzantium right up to 1917, like it was literally their main war aim to take back Constantinople in the peace without the British intervening for about the 20th time in return for them having fought the rest of the Great War, unfortunately not to be, and the British were almost certainly involved in the first revolution by the liberals just as Germany was in the second).

  544. It's perfectly possible because it also works the other way. It's called Catholic family's. If a couple marry at twenty have 7 children and replicate their values to their children so that the children have the same number for arguments same then that's gen 1: 49 gen 2: 343 gen 4: 2,401 gen 5: 16,807. All that in a little over a century, the important thing is value replication and preservation and that is it's weak point, but not in a general sense, realistically centralised education and cultural genocide are a much bigger threat than any innate value of opposing values as attrition will still be in favour of you on the birth rates front as breakaways pick up the poor birth rates of the outsiders. In my country for instance immigrants continue similar birthing patterns despite the overwhelming culture but their children are got by the schools and uni's and end up as childless and other things as everyone else (worse than China now, a literal halving of each generation).

  545. The way to deal with this is to track down the financial links and the breadth of the operation. Snap up as many of the operators as possible and the publicly make an example of them. Raise the risk threshold for behaviour like this. Also stop sending lone girls to university, it's always been a bad idea and serves no real purpose, developed countries need stable families and large ones, not even more wage slaves for the GDP charts. Women working only deflates wages and is the definition of a short term solution to a long term problem.

  547. You underestimate Japanese military command, even after the first bomb they argued that it was a fluke one off super weapon and that Japan should still fight to the last Japanese subject. The expectation was that people would starve but their calculation was that if they were too costly to bother with then Japan would win by default even if most people died and all the cities were destroyed, just so long as the allies realised they were not worth it and eventually buggered off. And no I'm not joking.

  549.  @samovarsa2640  The thing is that it was never the richest region historically and if we are going off net wealth alone then it was richest when it was being exploited for the sugar trade and that was during what op himself would probably consider the worse time in its history because of the brutality involved and the fact that the wealth went to the owners of the plantations many of whom didn’t even live in the Caribbean. They probably were more sophisticated than the colonists bothered to note but the native people were hardly an economic power given what much of the rest of the world was like, though there is always the possibility that they had trade ties to the mainland and it would make sense if they did, its just an odd claim is all.

  551. The British in fact supported the cotton cultivation in both the South and India, they took the raw materials and manufactured them in England. This almost caused them to back the South in the civil war but anti-slavery sentiments ran too high with the British public. What happened in this case like many was simple short sighted greed by a corporate body. The internal policy of the British Empire itself was a bit all over the place as the free traders and protectionists were fighting within the political system for quite a while over which approach would balance the books of an extremely expensive empire better, of course both sides were thinking of it in terms of the Empire paying for itself rather than the fact that it made England rich and thus able to cover it. The assumption in giving it up was that outgoings would be got rid of but income would remain the same. Basically they just proved why great empires either don't remain great or don't remain democratic, as they don't last when run by fools.

  552. There are several possibilities, both Godwinson and Edward had considerable Norman connections and it is likely the Godwinson was being held until he made a oath of some sort, which during the time men were very much held to. The detail of importance then comes to the Norman claim to have snuck Christian relics into the giving of the oath, which would thereby turn the affair from one of personal conscious and plausible deniability to a manner of one's salvation in the next life as God would know the contents and fact of any oath. Given that William got the blessing of the pope it must be either that he was very shrewd (which it should be noted most Normans were) or honest in his grievance. I think it is very likely that their was an oath, given that they likely wouldn't have released him otherwise, and the tricking of the oathgiver is a very Norman thing to do. But the contents of the oath is another matter and it wouldn't be surprising at all if it was somewhat less forthright than the Normans claimed so long as the spirit of thing could be justifiably claimed to be near. Godwinson probably also knew that there would be no great recounting of the circumstances if he won.

  554. This is a flawed understanding. The traditional denominational position is that Jesus was the messiah of Judaism and the faith continued through him, those who rejected him apostastised and thus the Church is Israel. The resulting relations between Jews and Christians was thus never very good, but once Jews started to convert to Catholicism in the late middle ages they brought a knowledge of Hebrew and revelations about the development of Jewish theology since the first century which deteriorated relations even further. Early protestants also existed in this context, but over time they needed allies and had major theological innovations which led into stuff like thinking that the English were a lost Jewish tribe or that the reestablishment of Israel would fulfil doomsday prophecy. This is not to mention the enlightenment and the rise of atheistic and pluralistic values among western elites. The Catholics have radically softened their stance since Vatican II, the Orthodox are as hostile as ever, indeed they might be more so now than ever given the events of the 20th century, especially in Russia, and the influx of Zoomer Anglo converts.

  556. The nature of the British government retaining a monarchy means that men of the proper character (so hostile to parliament and 'democratic' rule) retained steadfast loyalty to oath, throne and alter. This unfortunately suppresses resistance to destruction in so far as it is enacted by legitimate institutions of the state, and unfortunately the Windsors are of insufficient temperament, as the temperament of the constituent people's of Britain are such that vociferous counter-revolution would need but a word of sympathy from the King, the loyalty of the British people is feudal, as with any great people.

  562. The Nambu is often shot with the wrong size of ammunition which causes problems. Most Nagants got 'restored' in the 50's by the arsenals for storage and it made them much worse. The original guns are much better, though they still have a heavy tigger pull thanks to design, just not as ridiculous of one. It's not the best design, but they were unlucky, the technology made sense at the time but not a few years later as things were advancing so fast. Though that sidegate was a bad idea. On the plus side both the Russians and the Japanese carried swords so fast reloading was less of a big deal, you were either too far to hit anything anyway or close enough to use a more effective weapon (especially in that unlike with firearms people very commonly leg it when confronted with a sword, which wins the fight by awe rather than attrition). The worst military sidearm is probably an early one, or some little know monstrosity made by committee somewhere.

  565. On the surface, but in fact much of it is actually untrue. The peasants no longer were tenants (that's not really how they even ran things in the first place, tenant feudalism was very much a European thing) there had been considerable land reform as well. The Japanese had made it very clear that they viewed sanctions as an existential threat, they didn't change on a dime. Basically all the little details are just wrong enough to not be picked up by someone unless they knew quite a lot about Japan during the period.

  566. We literally have wall paintings from the tombs which show what they looked like, there was no euraser unless you are talking about about the indo-aryan invasions thousands of years before and that basically didn't effect sub-sharian people's at all. There have been population exchanges, Celts used to be more widespread, the was less Germanic influence, central Asia was populated by Caucasian people's rather and Turkic one's prior to the Mongol genocide and there were even blond haired people in China at one point, there is however no record genetic, recorded or implied of what you are talking about, if things were as racialied as you seem to think then not only would many of the events I talked about not have happened but the plan already would have been put in place in the 19th century and worked rather than introducing the medical advances which lead to the massive growth of populations you seem to think are being targeted, there was not lack of means there was a lack of motivation because no-one was conspiring as you claim.

  567. The only reason you even know the civilisation is that old is due to British archaeologists and historians. India was not unified and had long been subjugated by the Muslims when the British arrived, Delhi had been ransacked by Afghans and whole swathes of the country were being ravaged by irregular horsemen who would sell their service of local powers for the right to loot harder pickings. The British expanded at first mostly to counter the French and after defeating them they had already found themselves in a much better position than any other power in India, the company then used this to their advantage as expanding could be sold to investors as a increase in potential profits even if the reality was less simple. India might be ancient but it is far from impressive, it had a long tradition of foreign subjugation and was rather incompetent at war, entrenched corruption was widespread and the social system was a detriment to the strength of the nation but a boon to conquerors, who could exploit it from the outside. The British found that most Indians had no sense of national solidarity and most expressions of identity would be religious or ethnic (as in localised), they were however much more competent when given independent (e.g. European) oversight and filtered through British established institutions. The British had not build up large amounts of historical animosity with any local groups and such could very easily put themselves in the place of mediators, a court case between a Muslim and Hindu could be acknowledged as impartial by both if overseen by the British who viewed both parties with the same mild condescension. The British also basically built everything that made India a modern state, civil and public, rather than a nation of statelets less socially and politically advanced than Europe was in the dark ages. I understand the fact that many educated Indians are embarrassed by the fact their ancestors actively supported British rule, but creating a false national ego is not very sensible and can easily be exploited by India's modern rivals, a wish to rub Britain's nose it it would also be dangerous as the Britain of then is very different to now and any influence from today's Britain would probably be very detrimental to the fragile institutions of India. You only need to wait on the sidelines to see us suffer anyhow, our political leadership will see to the fact we will.

  568. One aspect will be that teachers are today seen as socially below professional women, and thus will have to deal with the worst aspects of women who don't feel they have any responsibility to act like what they does matters. That said the moral decline is palpable, upper class women didn't treat their servants like this historically, for one thing staff talked, but for another it was completely outside the social expectations of the time, such a women would likely be unable to retain social position through marriage and if she displayed such behaviour would likely be put in a madhouse by her own family, all that however is a very materialistic explication when the reality is that such a thing was totally against Christian moral norms and aberrant behaviour to that extent likely would have been beaten out of them as a child. Unfortunately anyone who's had or dealt with children this age likely have dealt with women they could imagine doing this, my experience is that this is not a thing at all among the working class, and though some minorities have problems with it it's due to birth defects rather than parenting. What we are seeing is the moral values and vision of the elite class, we are seeing why noblesse oblige was necessary and what it's like to have a ruling class of the lowest moral character.

  569.  @maple2524  ​ @maple2524  Reynald de Chatillon was widely and deeply reviled within the crusader states, people forget that he was not picky with his targets attacking, plundering, murdering and worse orthodox civilians (the crusader states were almost totally reliant on the loyalty and good will of the majority orthodox population and had plenty of muslim subjects as well, both made up important contingents of Outremer’s military power with the orthodox infantry levy and converted ex-muslim light horsemen especially being vital forces to compliment and fill holes for a knight class that was always facing critical number shortages, to the point where Outremer was known a one of the few places in Christendom where young men of good birth and hot blood could reliably marry up, which is indeed how Reynald himself got his start),destroying holy sites and attacking people sheltering in churches as well as infamously torturing a catholic bishop. The fact that he wasn’t killed by his own side was largely thanks to backing from the crown as his actions were often as politicly cunning as they were reprehensible, with there being suggestion that he was sometimes used to take politically deniable action for the king given his justly appalling reputation. There were no tears shed with his death and many tied it along with the idea of Saladin being chivalrous, which suggests how much they liked the fellow. That said most of the sources came from people hostile to him but then there weren’t that many people around who weren’t hostile to him. The main argument these days is how much rather than if he did damage to the long term interests of the crusader states.

  570. There are women who've been in the field a very long time but the tend to be extreme outliers both in how clever they are and the sort of logic display have as individuals. The topics are incredibly difficult even for most men to get their head around requiring a type of thinking which rare among women, as men and women evolved somewhat separately women tend to be focussed on people and emotional understanding which ironically makes them good fits for the corporate and academic world were once the in a critical mass they control the politics and culture even is usually not directly, they also seem to be under a lot of pressure to perform academically as a group, the effects of which I have no idea about, but I have certainly bumped into plenty who are mentally under extreme stress, only understand the test component of a subject and have difficulty applying critical logic to a subject which isn't off a formula (usually just the sociological perspective of whatever it is, with a heavy dose of not understanding the criticisms can be invalid and have to be broken down the same way as what you are targeting). Male spaces become very competitive in short order and don't suffer fools lightly, which means that people who don't cut it get no respect, this is the antithesis of what women tend to think healthy spaces are and it's true they can be toxic (especially if the topic is not grounded in reality or it's filled with immature men who want to prove themselves), but they also tend to bring results quickly with low resource thresholds and put ideas through the wringer a lot more mercilessly, anyone who's worked in a female orientated space will also be able to tell you how toxic they can easily become and how disingenuous the culture most often is, with people who are dishonest to save each others feelings. It's said than men are object focused and women people and though I think that's an oversimplification you can see how it applies to these kinds of subjects. How structures operate is quite fascinating an it's a shame how poor the research so far on it has been, it will probably be necessary for that to change given the issues that are inbound for our society.

  571. About 20% males in tribal societies die in war each generation, how many women die of child birth is highly dependent on diet but would usually be below that unless they are eating lead or get no vitamins. Of course the women will also likely have enough children for replacement before complications, modern women have a much higher rate of problems due to the pill, age, being fat, and very poor genetic health due to dysgenics. Of course there are lots of other factors and contexts but broadly the claim is false, I could probably point you to the specific exception that proves the rule, they are a small turkic people up in the mountains in central asia, they have the highest rate of childbirth mortality in the world, and thus a young woman shortage.

  572. Scotland is part of Britain, I agree that non-ethnic brits should not be able to buy land or businesses here, but Scotland is part of the country and England has plenty of Scottish descendened people who might want to move back up. Additionally much of the rural economy only survived industrialisation through the purchase of peerages in Scotland off of the impoverished local nobility after the clearances failed to clear up their financial problems. Scottish land, despite a lack of intrinsic value went for fortunes due to romantic associations, and thus many villages and towns facing difficult times during the industrial revolution survived. While it would be preferable to repopulate the highlands further restrictions of the use of land would not be positive, and it's not like Scotland has the native population growth to put land to use much anyway. If monks are going to put up monasteries then that is better than things remaining derelict.

  573.  @AlwaysHope_  Of course I’m biased, I’m a westerner myself (British), and of the current generation (zoomer, though I’m on the older end of that and it shows). I don’t think its too far to say that modern western societies aren’t Christian (especially in western Europe, but that fact that values systems today are being spread through education and mass media today more than parents means that its a concern everywhere), but rather believe in a socially constructed reality and the same marxist hogwash which has been inspiring human tragedy for the last century.  I am a Christian myself and fundamentally believe that values and the philosophies based on Christianity form the best system for life, but I also live in a context where I am the only Christian my age I know and the church is counter to its mission (the church of England that is). There is a lot of internal literature by academics which is extremely forthright about where they come from and what they aim and at current there is little possibility they will fail to put in place what they wish for, my country has a conservative government, we also had 1 million immigrants last year, the economy is being driven off a cliff and talking about publicly accessible facts about what happened at Rotherham and is still happening elsewhere on a public account could get me a criminal record. Thus I feel it is imperative that east asian countries absolutely do not take of board what the west is giving at the moment, plus we have the same problems but worse in regard to the thing supposed solutions are being given for.

  574. The French copied the English longbowmen, they did train a lot of archers themselves as they recognised it as a weakness. And yeah those guys they trained were French. The 100 years war wasn't static, both sides developed in order to outdo each other.

  580. It the British military the cleverest people were put in the artillery (the most technical branch and the one which does the most actual damage to the enemy, and also the one where you least want something to go wrong), the most ambitious went into the navy (the most glory and money if you could catch prize ships), most others the infantry (the engineers also got the clever clogs, especially those ones who liked anger as it was a hazardous profession) and the dolts went into the cavalry, were told that it was the best branch as they had the fanciest uniforms and in the case of battle the general would send them in the general direction of the enemy and then try and work around them or hope that he had allied cavalry (Wellington was lucky in that he had German cavalry who generally viewed it to be helpful for themselves to be of military rather than theoretical use) and the when he did send them of that they wouldn't just ride up to the top of a hill and spend the rest of the battle sniffing their own farts, them doing something stupidly suicidal was the positive outcome and at the very least increased the overall quality of the British aristocracy though often as not they succeeded in their scheme as the enemy hadn't expected to be facing warhammer ork levels of tactical planning and got caught out, though the casualty figures were unsurprisingly grim and they were pretty useless at mildly useful tasks such a scouting and pressing a routing enemy, which did mean that they often didn't happen to have many friends in the general's staff even when they had relations within it.

  581. In the full version he reveals a lot of evidence of direct Labour party involvement with these groups. He also explains that people should write to their councillors and ask for an extraordinary session in order to condemn the recent government vote, that one will be called with only a handful of counsellors in support, that the GB news team will make itself present for any such session and thus that even if it is voted down those who do so will have it on their record, and it can be used to campaign against them.

  582. I imagine that it is a mix of strong traditional social institutions, like family and community, a cultural expectation of marriage and the political situation of coupling western investment with limited social influence due to the state basically being a Russian satellite. That said their are probably social reformers (or traditionalists) who are responsible for actually bringing the situation, and they deserve credit. While it would be somewhat harder we haven't seen Russian social institutions reformed back into a functional pre-soviet state, Putin stated that he wanted them to have more kids, but that is about it, it is fairly clear that the factors that are responsible for fertility are social far more than economic. Not only are social changes lacking, the response is changing the beneficiaries of taxes, not even something basic like going after abortion or contraception, something which would change dynamics without needing a vision of the society to be built.

  583.  @andreascovano7742  It’s the difficulty of any people how’s way of life was exterminated. How much of a continuity they have with old cossacks relies on how my they can replicate them, at the very least it provides internal justification and give them reason with any luck not to just become contrarians to the ideas they oppose (unlike most traditionalist revival movement), for example I hope they are trying to copy the roles of women that the cossacks actually had rather than playing into feminist strawmen as if being a total shit becomes good just by being opposed to your enemy (looking at you quiverfull movement). Bringing on board historians to reintroduce lost traditions couldn’t hurt. There will unfortunately never by any direct continuity with the original groups but that doesn’t mean there can’t be continuity, how much if any is up to them.

  585. Unfortunately academia is basically driven by applying logical formulas which are filled with questionable assumptions to everything, hilarious when we consider that the people who created these formulas were often pretty open about the fact their intended purpose was not any genuine attempt at truth finding or logical consistency. I'm studying education at university at the moment and it has become clear that the entire subject is basically a joke, they don't have agreed definitions for things like knowledge or truth and they often don't understand any of the ideas they are working with but just regurgitate sociologists talking points. It makes one very worried for the future and has made it blindingly obvious that I'm going to have to home educate my children.

  587. I come from Europe, you don't know what you are talking about, we live off debt as well and living conditions are deteriorating, things are terrible and there is a profound sense of hopelessness and nihilism.

  591. I'm guessing the dislike of US servicemen is due to their low social prestige and bad reputation (for crime especially). The farmer thing is interesting and sounds like a major problem, I know that Tokyo is the socially prestigious place to be and they have major problems with the sex industry as that is how many women have to fund living there. I wonder what the solutions would be other than a campaign of national shame. Which is unlikely to happen given that western influence is starting to cause things to spiral.

  594. Having a large base of knowledge is necessary in order to draw conclusions, I often find the focus on critical thinking to just be a hardly subtle attempt to bring in Freire, teaching people without any knowledge base to be critical is essentially setting a formula and people with it are in reality the least intellectually open you will ever find, the uneducated are far better, you will essentially be dealing with people who are miseducated. A very high standard of education has the issue that it has trouble doing anything about motivation or innate ability, if education were judged in an economic light it would seem an utter failure, very little is obtained with massive resources, good schools on top of this are rare and most people will easily learn more in a year of self-study than in their entire school life, the problem is people have not been taught to learn for themselves and once they leave school they will have limited time. University also has the problem of being oversubscribed and many disciplines having a shocking level of academic rigour (if you are associated with sociology like the school of education then welcome to all your sources basically being bunk, and an inability understand statistics properly or to be aware of your assumptions, you end up with people talking about reality being subjective instead of actually constructing anything useful, there are a lot of tensions between academics and practitioners as the academics are totally delusional and don't factor basic realities into their aims (like that teachers have limited time and resources and they aren't going to get an infinite pool by whining, doing a bad job or passing a rule saying they don't need sleep)).

  597. Unless you are in Tokyo the living costs are significantly lower and houses are affordable. The average European would chew their own arm off for the standard of living they have, also Britain has the highest taxes since WW2 plus an inheritance tax of 40%, the economic depression in Japan is as psychological as anything, they aren't even being invaded, but they are isolated enough not to get that even their worst problems are like 10% of same problem in literally every other developed country. Even the suicide and fertility rates are within European averages.

  598. It was the key transport link of the eastern front, the Soviets very much wanted it targeted. Of course after they took it there was a decent opportunity for stocking some East German nationalism in the right direction, of course the previous regime had laid the groundwork by also using it for propaganda but the Soviets kept it coming.
    6
  599. This has become relevant again.
    6
  600. It's because Japanese people are comparing standards of living to Japan 40 years ago and foreigners are comparing Japan to everywhere else. Literally all these problem exist and are much much worse in western countries, and unlike them Japan isn't also unsafe and their government isn't actively malicious. Nor is it being destroyed by importing people into a nation with a 1000 years of history and displacing whole regional cultures at a time with the ancient and intractable foes of those very people. Japan is incredibly rosy to a foreigner. You can buy a house, you are relatively safe, the institutions are functioning. Things like the economy looking good or a set track to professional success are not something they were ever expecting, indeed young westerners mostly don't expect pensions as they don't see the modern state winning it's battle with financial irresponsibility.

  601. There were plenty of troops who stayed around, whether they signed up early or reenlisted when things started getting sticky there was plenty for that chap to have been involved in. Both the malayan emergency and Korean war saw mass reenlistment and shortly after the war they had to occupy various places like the retaken colonies, Japan and Germany and old troops were kept around for it, their were quite a lot of duties to go around with clean up and Britain took quite a while to demobilise. The end of the war didn't mean an end of commitments, believe it or not Britain had a global empire and was a global power even if the post-war government made short work of both.
    5
  602. This is the norm with history lessons, in Britain even very important events have little to no coverage. The extreme lack of context means that most people in the younger generation literally don't care as they have no means of evaluating the utility of knowing anything about the subject. A lot of other subjects are hit by a similar mindset and circumstances, as someone almost totally self-educated I can't even begin to tell you where the education system could fix the issue, it frankly seems like the whole thing is a lost cause. That said it is certainly the case that older generations have a much better knowledge base stemming from education so in way the decline does show a possibility of doing things better.

The self-justification is literally socialism, and if you look at the criticism within the academia of education it's all that it isn't socialism enough, if you get rid of grading like they want there will literally be no standards instead of very poor ones like now. I'm doing education, I get to read this stuff everyday.

  613. Medieval nobleman were soldiers and administrators, anything but useless. Medieval noblewomen administered the household and had a say in practically everything that went on behind the scenes as well as having a big role in the creating and raising of children again hardly useless. The whole selling your wife thing is English mostly talked about around the regency period (1790s-1810 or so) and Victorian fiction set in it and is heavily romanticized (and even then your telling sounded more romantic than their's). Women not having to work themselves to death was a positive throughout most of history, seen as prestigious and chivalric. Modern thoughts on the appropriateness of gender roles, feminist theory and the like were so different in logic as to be practically uncommunicable to the average jo without them presuming one a stark raving, immoral profligate of lower repute than a prostitute and an undoubtable unrepentant deviant. Like with most thing in the period you'd have a better time with the priesthood as their first option would be to argue the point first rather than to judge one a danger to their children and perform an impromptu lynching. People thought in terms of church morality and by modern standards church intellectuals themselves tended to be a good deal more liberal than the populous. While people were a good deal more uncouth that than the Victorians liked to pretend values like loyalty, fidelity and chastity were lionised and smug rebellion to the social order would be seen as parents not beating their dimmest children enough and thus allowing their innate stupidity to manifest.

  614. In Victorian times the police were told that if they wanted to carry a gun they should carry their personal one under the uniform. There were occasions when they had to chase armed suspects and members of the public turned over revolvers to be used in the firefight. The traditional right to bear arms was an English liberty long before it was an American one, like all the other liberties it was enacted by a King and suspended by a parliament that claimed legitimacy off of responsibility for the protection of said liberties. In other words the legitimacy of our democratic regime is all dried up, they created a desert out of England and expect your praise.

  615. You made a baseless, generalised and seemingly paranoid claim, obviously there is no point directly trying to refute something unhinged.

  616. Mostly it was very diplomatically useful to string all sorts of people along, England was better as a potential prize of marriage than one of conquest and thus the lack of commitment was very strategically useful. At several times she did seem genuinely interested in men but her advisers were very much opposed, if she had been more powerful or England had remained Catholic she likely would have married, Germany at this time however wasn't full of eligible royal princes so she didn't have many better options and unlike many other female monarchs throughout history she was smart enough to not take any bad ones (which is another point, female regents and monarchs have an extremely long history of being brought to ruin by a terrible taste in men, Elizabeth wasn't a total exception but she was wise enough to never let them go past favourites, though English history is such that her examples to not do so were probably male, as several of our worst kings fit the same profile).

  617. I'd recommend getting in touch with some other people in the space, there are plenty of people both on the historical and political side of YouTube who are skilled and would be more than willing to help given how valuable your work is. Can't see community tabs on my platform but I'd say the economics is the most valuable, I think you still need a lot of investment to be as good at the ideology stuff as the history, it is clear that you are very knowledgeable about your areas but would need a lot more knowledge of philosophy, political history etc in order to properly cover it. If you are going that route I recommend getting in touch with Carl Benjamin of the Lotus Eaters (or Sargon of Akkad as he is also known) as it's a fairly new area of study for the non-left and is undergoing considerable development currently in the same way as economics was when the Austrians were taking off and history was a few decades ago when they started really questioning Marxist historical determinism. He's one of the guys at the front of it and probably the one with most connections. Economics is largely the application of existing knowledge, ideology would be fairly ground-breaking but it would also age a lot worse and need a lot more work, you have excellent knowledge of the interwar and war period but it would require branching out historically great deal to understand the lineage of ideas and how they are relevant, also as it's politics a considerable number of the sources are basically plain wrong, including pretty much all the one's on the right, as said serious study is in large part very new (literally less than a decade for the most part).

  618. While there is identity, the cultural differences after centuries of living together are not significant, nor are they particularly special. Every other country in Europe also has considerable regional differences. North and South Italy are not the same, Germany is split East to West but also into the old kingdoms. Spain is an internal mess. France is practically an occupied country (by Paris). On top of this the traditional class system had an ethnic component, with the nobility usually having a Germanic background even in Latin countries. Britain is not special at all in it's internal divisions.

  623. Also nothing traditional about the techniques unless mass manufacturing is old enough to be considered traditional, which would make a great deal of all knives made traditional, though in their case it wouldn't come at such a sheer price. You can easily find actually traditionally made Japanese knives and they are likely to be cheaper as well as they are made by legitimate companies (Japanese companies putting a great deal of stock in trust and reputation).

  624. I don't know her personal circumstances and could only speculate, however one doesn't stab needles into a baby repeatedly without considerable resentment, and given that the victims were by nature innocent, unless she's a very unique kind of evil (which I don't see any evidence of) it was most likely an object of jealousy, as someone only a bit younger myself I have seen many women with a socially ingrained hatred of children, it is very deeply mired in modern ideology, which views children as a parasitic burden to professional fulfilment and personal empowerment to the point of glorifying mass infanticide. As said however I can only speculate, she probably wasn't the most mentally stable person to put it mildly, indeed I imagine that will be the primary focus of her lawyers, however the criminal definition of sanity just needs you to have intended it and known it to be wrong. You tend to have to judge these people by their fruits (and indeed intuition as the fact is that resentment usually isn't hard to identify) as you aren't typically privy to their personal history.

  626. Lol, Russia is an industrial power, Europe is a deindustrialised and politically unstable bureaucratic quagmire. Russia is 100% a better partner, but not a better subordinate, the problem Trump has is that while Europe is subordinate to US power they are loyal to a particular state apparatus within America, not to his administration. Thus for him it is important to change their government's by destabilising them from the outside, if he does this their new regimes will be friendly to his faction not matter if they lose power in the US. He's playing a much bigger game.

  627. The Russian army in WW1 only mutined after the capital and the central government fell (and were replaced by a deeply incompetent duma), the new government also introduced a democratic military hierarchy which proved not very good in war but and excellent organisation for resisting orders. The Soviets brought tsarist officers back (then murdered most of them and their families after the civil war) as well as military discipline (though their treatment of civilians would become and continue to be appalling). There were troops who mutinyed in the capital but most of them were conscripts in training who did not want to go to the front, if they had kept reliable reserves or acted quickly and brought troops down from the front them the revolution would have been strangled in its crib, as the civil war proved there were plenty of officers and men who were loyal to the regime even in hopeless circumstances, even after everything was over the Soviets spent decades rounding up and murdering millions of such people and despite that even today in Russia there is a big group of people who want the Tsar back. Russians are not westerners, their history is suffering and they know it, incompetent and corrupt commanders are not a new thing, they have won many wars that were a series of lost battles and the minorities have a similar history of hardship and suffering, even if a Russian is not a good soldier he has the pride to die one. The real issue with Russia is not willpower, it is demographics, they don't have enough kids, this makes it good for the Kremlin to get rid of minorities who do. Historically speaking however every Russian mother would be having 7 children to plaster over incompetent usage of manpower, now it's in a natural decline and the Soviets destroyed much of society and whole generations of Russians, the would likely have been 500 million Russians without them as dead people don't have children and the living were made to have less. This war is still in the wests favour but not necessarily Ukraine's.

  628. I would recommend the Bible and once you've got through that maybe some of the church fathers, if theology is a bit heavy then history is probably the best way to get a similar message, Thomas Sowell is excellent, Sex in the middle ages is a good book which also shows you the moral and social structure of the period, the populist delusion is a good political book and generally a good deal of Victorian works are going to implicitly be of a Christian and reasonable mindset much superior to those even in existence today. Most churches are compromised, universities are a vector of infection as is the education sector and basically no one around can see the looming problems ahead let alone the ones they are mired in, which is isolating but Rudyard Kiplings 'if' should be of worth as really are any of his works. Remember to be critical as it is necessary not to be swept along like a lemming in a river.

  630. It is war and they were a valid target but given the level of discipline and quality of communication equipment even the contact soldiers have the claim that they were found by mobile signals is probably true. I imagine they were told not to turn on or preferably have mobiles but I doubt that that was either enforced nor were conscripts willing to surrender their contact with family and a solution to boredom. Unfortunately this is the nature of a conscript war and Russia has a critical shortage of infantry whichever way so they will mostly be of worth in providing a screen to the masses of poorly guarded equipment the Russian army went into Ukraine with. Given the Russians already cannibalised the units meant to train them earlier in the war it has probably already been accepted that this will become a repeat of the Iran-Iraq war and that they will mostly serve though dying in large numbers.

  631. Power decides the exception, in this case they pushed through what they wanted and just stuck him on top as a thin veneer of legal and moral consideration to justify the pure politics of power.

  632. I wouldn't characterise the history with the Crown as being an attempt to move back to the ango-saxon monarchy, the anglo-saxons had slavery on a mass scale, were internally weak and the nobility held too much power. The Norman's were in many respects nothing like the French, they were highly centralised while at the same time not being tyrannical, aggressive in foreign ventures while maintaining order at home and really allowing England to gain the identity it has now, they had a stable system of succession relative to the time which in its design also allowed for a constant stream of talented people who had to carve a place out for themselves due to being younger sons. Compared to Anglo-Saxon rule Norman rule was practically a utopia as instead of being Northern Europe's punching bag they were a regional power which maintained both a powerful monarchy and a content population, though it's weakness throughout was the unreliable loyalty of the nobility who would attempt to redistribute power to themselves during any crisis, their was also the reliance on the success of the French territories in the politics of England, other than that they were in many respects better off than we are in our current predicament.

  633.  @millykendrill5301  Christianity is a religion not an ethnic based value system, if you bump into any white nationalists you will quickly realise that they tend to have an overwhelming hatred for Christianity as it is not a genocidial religion and it happened to replace the pagan cults that such people tend to larp as. If you mean that european civilisation is based on foundations of Christian belief for moral values, definitions and understandings of reality then yes that is the case, if you are talking Imperialism then the legacy of roman and colonial projects within europe prior to the coming about of nationism also play a part, the English in particular have a lot they owe to the normans in that regard. But such imperial ambitions are hardly unique to the Christian world, Islam has a long history of being the state ideology of empires as does confucianism in the east, if you want a religion that doesn’t really work with centralised imperial states then hinduism is probably the closeted thing to it but even India has had great empires, its just that the beliefs of the people didn’t tend to be great at reinforcing and upholding their power.  The christian focus on the moral responsibility of the individual is also very much on display in anti-imperialism, the whole of western ideology is a bit odd considering how very Christian it is despite the rejection of the religion, and even more so considering that Christianity itself is one of the most abnormal religions as it hasn’t followed the self-interested interpretation of theology in quite the same way as most religions (and indeed ideologies) tend to where it is decided that the religion itself is the most important segment of social meaning (typically by the ones who define that meaning) and therefore the most privileged place in society is owed to the priest caste. One of the things this resulted in was the belief in an objective reality separate from claims of spiritual powers by clergy and based on rules put in place by god rather than subject to his whims, I believe the logic was something like it wouldn’t be a miracle if it didn’t break absolute and unbending rules of nature, which is funny considering that a considerably more scientific argument about atoms is what lead islam down the opposite path (all the atoms are continually recreated by god meaning that reality is ultimately arbitrary and spiritual learning is the only worthwhile path).

Usually I might disagree with someone but would at least be able to communicate with them based off common understandings and acknowledgements. It clear that their is no way I could ever convince you because you are so possessed by ideology that what you think is a matter of quasi religious belief rather than set in your interpretation of facts and the world around you.

  636. To address the original post, no the Spanish would likely have been quite a bit better that the Italians especially if facing the Soviets but would suffer from poor motivation against the western allies and the resource issues would mean they would be heavily reliant on veterancy and competent leadership and given Franco's personality they would be the axis nation most likely peace out early as despite what TIK said Franco's ideological sympathies for Nazism didn't go much deeper than loathing communism and Franco was one of the most politically astute and realist leaders in Europe at the time (not that that was a very high bar) and was more willing to change tactics and outlooks than most of the other autocrats, as was shown by him dropping theories if they didn't work (meanwhile Hitler would invade people and nick their stuff to keep things going and Stalin would just pretend they did work). The main issue is that Franco had little tangible incentive to join in the first place beyond kicking the Soviets while they were down (which without the western allies he most certainly would have jumped at).

  639. There were multiple famines in Soviet times, not just the famous Ukrainian one. The first major attack on Kulaks was under Lenin, after that it was largely a slogan, like class enemy, as those called it already lived on collectised land. Under Lenin food detachments were sent out to rob everything from the peasants, they also r*ped and murdered on mass. Contry to later the peasants resisted on mass, 10 tens of thousands of detachment troops would be killed and the red army would suppress revolts and then use foreign troops (Chinese, Latvian and Jewish) to massacre the civilians in reprisal. By the time of Stalin terror was a successful tactic to force compliance. The resistance was much less. Tankies will claim that the victims were all rich capitalists, they weren't, they were just freeholding peasants who didn't want to starve or were angry at their daughters being r*ped. The Soviets wiped out the old aristocratic, which didn't make the peasants more prosperous but did remove local non-party agents of organisation. In a lot of ways Russia has never recovered, before the revolution vast lands were being filled by very high birth rates, the Soviets destroyed the birth rate and forced people into the cities, the industrialisation was slower than under the Tsar, less efficient and all the potential of the country was sucked out. Also so criminals could live a high life on the debasement of a great nation and people.

  640. There's a work called 'victims, heros, suvivors' which collected many first hand accounts as well as going though archives. Such treatment was not uncommon at all unfortunately, though it was not a group practice like with the soviets and German officers turned a blind eye rather than personally leading it like was common with the red army. They cover that similar actions are not uncommon in the British army, and rampant among the Americans. As well as the exact nature of what the soviets were like, which is still shocking despite all that precedes it.

Britain however was the place that basically strongarmed most of the rest of the world into ending it or joining the anti-slavery club for moral points and opportunities to justifiably mess in the domestic policies of 3rd world nations. Doing so as often to their detriment (not backing up the confederates and thereby weakening the US, also it often caused tensions with local elites) as to their benefit (a we get to engage in open imperialism with full public support card, also allowed them to take over a few places when they were stupid enough to say no to the gunboats about ending the practice).

  655. The easterners were certainly right, the western front was too narrow and well defended for an affordable victory, so long as it was defended and the embargo on Germany continued then Britain was likely to end on the victorious side, though a more passive strategy would have been at a certain cost to the Russians, however Britain owed no debt of conscious to either Russia of France. The eastern engagements would have been less costly in money, resources and lives, seen greater success for that invested and have held imperial gains for Britain which could perhaps in time return some of the costs. If your characterisation of him is accurate then he holds some responsibly for the deaths of a generation of Britons for markedly little gain and almost total destruction of the society and moral framework of the Victorians, ultimately leading to the dire straits the countries future is not in and the loss of the gain of centuries of work and sacrifice only to pump the depths of depravity and listlessness even further.

  657. I'm surprised you are still talking about an Imperial reunion, it would require a sea change in thought and the reversing of trends within the Anglo nations. The civil service and institutions of power in all the nations is thoroughly compromised and the population and culture in deep and steady decline, one which would require practically revolutionary change to overturn and if that happens in any of them (most likely England given that it is the most conservative and dissatisfied by far) then the others will most likely break off due to the sudden change in course and danger to their regional elites (along with the conflicting interests of a resurgent Britain to basically everyone in the current global order). You will have to come back to us on this one when Charles III dissolves parliament or the English launch a revolution against the institutions of state (the crown excluded) and the invading population they represent.

  659. Several things, it's cultural, read some Russian history, it's miserable and there is suffering totally alien to Anglo culture experience and a lot of it. Without such a culture of resilience the Russians wouldn't exist, let alone be a power of any kind. Living in a big flat plain means dealing with constant warfare and raids, that is the context the nation came about in. Race is dependant on interpretation, Europeans in the past considered Russians Asian, as they were orthodox rather than Catholic and had lots of cultural distinction, they were very influenced by the byzantines and wore eastern style clothing. Even in the 19th century after westernisation they were still considered half Asian and utterly culturally alien, in WW2 Hitler planned to exterminate them and their civilians got treated with that expectation, even today a lot of western media narratives play othering them, even when the thing they point out was a product of westernisation, same with East Asia and low levels of divorce and illegitimacy, literally a western influence used to make them look strange instead of pointing out that the West is undergoing a societal collapse and the fact these things are uncommon not is not a good thing. Racially Pakistanis are white, so are North Africans, doesn't mean that things aren't a lot more complicated ethnically, culturally, religiously and in perceptions.

  660. Canada wasn't that relevant to Britain as a whole so unless American could invade India on top of the unlikely scenario where they do better than they did in the war of 1812 with less resources and less of a manpower advantage things wouldn't change. In fact things wouldn't change anyway as Napoleon was his own worse enemy and would have been crushed by making enemies with all the other European powers, even without Waterloo he just would have been destroyed by one of several Russian Armies a couple of months later if someone else didn't get to him first, he most likely then would have been shot as the Russians wanted to do that, Russia then would have been more powerful in the peace negotiations at France and the ottomans cost and if the British were still fighting with the Americans would have tried to broker a peace deal and might even have supported the British as part of Russia's interest in suppressing non-monarchical forms of government (though before the Soviets they tended to have positive relations with US due to both being rivals of Britain). America simply wasn't very relevant until mid way though the 19th century at least and no American spirit was going to make up for strategic shortcomings, and especially not against professional and well lead armies when you rely on a militia system. If Britain had been clever then they would have killed America during it's infancy, but they weren't and the last chance was during the civil war. In a situation like this America would be pretty doomed as the right to secede would have been established as valid and American would have had powerful rivals to contend with in it's backyard, something which in our timeline has not happened to this day.

  661. I think it is important that Japan does not westernise. It might not seem like it from the outside but the west is the sick man of civilisations, these problems are endemic in western countries alongside many many others and the nail is that it is all heading in a worse direction without regard. Solutions to social issues should be found in successful examples not loud ones. A return to Japanese Confucian principals or the strategic adoptions from the old foundational Christian social models that the west used to have would be far more useful in actually solving problems rather than pathologising or obfuscating (which is what people who claim that social issues are just the cost of progress do) them. The responses in the west are entirely ideological so Japan is already greatly ahead in finding solutions and at this rate will continue to be just by not engaging in self harm.

  662. I am of the younger generation, 20% of those who went though such a curriculum say they are gay, which makes me think either that it is not very balanced or that it is socially contagious, my interest is history I can say with certainty that history would have been different if there were actually that many people hiding their sexuality. Personally I think it should not be taught until an understanding of what is going on is reached, unless that happens then the idea that sexuality is something you are born with will likely be delegitmised and I don't need to tell you the chaos that will cause, I would at least hope that it doesn't extend worldwide, but I guess it will be another factor in the mess which will be the next decade.

  665.  @oldegrunt5735  England is more conservative but Scotland and London are about as liberal as places like Canada. The movement of Scotland from Labour (still undergo internal struggles between it’s centre left and hard left members though the hard left has been partly weakened by purges of open anti-semites within the party) to the Scottish nationalist party (socialist despite the name) as well as the north moving over to the tory’s (centre right conservatives) post Brexit has meant the the tory’s look set to be the main party for a while, however much of the population is right of even the tory’s with that having formerly been suppressed by that fact at votes are worth different amounts in different places and the votes of those in England were and indeed are particularly devalued, so a party on the right of the tory’s may very well pop up within the coming decades. The tory’s would likely get on with the conservative parties in the other nations however those party’s are far less powerful than in Britain and the tory’s don’t want to water down their own power nor do the political institutions of the other countries want to water down their own and empower the allies of their own political enemies, indeed the tory’s already have the issue that many of the nations institutions are staffed by people hostile towards them and their supporters and whom have become increasingly willing to engage in self destructive impediments, ideological grandstanding and questionable tactics as they have lost their democratic mandate. The party system means the the tory’s are hardly looking out for the countries interests in the first place and they seem to live by the notion of ‘if you become preeminent start a civil war’. Unless the entire direction of that nation shifts of it axels, there is a cultural revival, the intellectual class drops it’s entire train of logic and jump’s on a totally new one, the political class devolve power from themselves and change their underlying motivations and that somehow happens to some extent in the other nation’s as well an anglo-union is about as likely as Russia turning everything around and becoming main world power within a century.

  667. Possibly, the Bible does say one of Noahs sons went North (and this is included as the origin of the Slavs in a Tsarist Russian History book I have). But they clearly didn't live by the will of God given their polytheism and cultural, moral and religious practices, so were corrupted as the Jews would have been without constant divine intervention, and indeed despite it. There are broad similarities in the cultures, but many of these are seemingly universal, patriarchal clan societies seem to have been the origin point of any at all. Europeans and indeed a wide swathe of Eurasia do have common origin and those traditions were deeply rooted into the utter social and cultural destruction of the 20th century under the liberals, when sewing was taken out of schools that broke 7000 year plus of continuity in the carrying on of that tradition, one specific to steppe people's as it was viewed as low status in the cultures of people like the east asians.

  685. Russia was willing to accept its place as a regional hegemon (most likely in the short term while they internally strengthened themselves), however it became clear that the west would chip away at the outlying regions and attempt regime change within Russia itself irrespective of them moving away from the Soviet model, thus the existential existence of Russia is perceived to be under considerable threat, concessions are not a good idea against a foe which has proven to have little honour or diplomatic constancy beyond hostility itself. It is ironic that Putin himself would confront this as he was very much a westerniser, many other Russian internal factions would have urged such a policy of pre-emptive aggression and imperial revanchism even without western actions closing down other avenues. Given the nature of American Imperialism however such circumstances were reasonably predictable, America seeks an international liberal world order and the enrichment of its own ruling class by exploiting the economic resources of subjugated powers (including the American people), it is a managerial oligarchy but it's ideology is a radical form of social-democracy. Trump is going to greatly upset the apple cart due to his non-comformity with the shared intentions and understanding of the managerial elite class which runs America's global empire.

  688. I would say that the bombing is a lot less complicated than what happened afterwards. Japan was planning to fight to the death under the military, this is not hyperbole, the military plan was to make Japan so costly to take that no one would bother, from the allied perspective they would likely lose millions of men to a conventional assault and from the Japanese every civilian would be expected to die for the national good, on top of this was the wider situation, Japan is not a rich country and by this period in the war supply lines had largely been cut, even as things were people were starting to starve. If anyone knows anything of the early months of occupation they will know that many did die of starvation even with the full efforts of the red cross and the newly arrived occupying troops. If Japan had not surrendered when it did starvation would have killed more than the fighting itself, a large portion of the population likely would have died. As such the quick ending of the war actually saved lives. The controversial point is what happened post war, the war trials were frankly rigged, innocent men were made scapegoat and guilty let off for political expectancy, especially those of the imperial house but also men who have inflicted grotesque human experiments in return for their research notes. The country was made a puppet and the constitution written to American interests, the old educational establishment was destroyed by banning the old teachers from working and in effect the subversive elements of Japanese society were given reign, this lead to decade's of educational strife as the communist aligned teaching union fought with the department of education and the parents organisations. The conduct of the occupation troops was in large part disgraceful (I'm talking about the mass r*pes) and very few were properly punished. American extended a hand in rebuilding Japan, but it was largely as a logistical hub and bulwark against enemies in the region, once Japan started doing well they changed tact and started treating Japan as an economic threat, as Japan is resource poor they had little recourse and the economic downturn this caused is ongoing. The cultural influence of America while it has been useful in implanting a more stable political system and finally ending some of the more barbaric native practices (such as the selling of children) has caused immense harm culturally, imports like the American dating system and various ideologies are immensely destructive to a nation built on extreme particularities largely alien to the systems with which they are forced to interact, these things are a disaster in their home country, they are cataclysmic in foreign ones. More current American influence is just plain bad, the influence of failed western ideological projects is being heavily lobbied for by western NGO's and diplomacy, but to be blunt western ideology is based in western assumptions and entirely destructive to native culture as it supplants it, in terms of policy, mass immigration is the single best means to put an end to the distinct existence of Japan and the Japanese not to mention the utter civil strife it has caused in the nation's already victimised be it. To listen to American at this point is to listen to the devil for the results at least are much the same.

  689. The rebels were literally being funded by the Chinese and Soviets (two different groups, they didn't get on), the population liked the idea of stealing what the rich people had but for the most part didn't play much of a part, you had locals on both sides of the conflict and the rebels would happily murder blacks as much as whites, they liked to attack isolated farms and most of the workers would be black while the owners white, the rebels would kill all of them including the children and often after doing other stuff to them first. It was not some popular revolt, it was geopolitics from the communist world and stupid moral stances from the western side of things (who held an election in which the army and police were disarmed and the rebels allowed to oversee the process while heavily armed, unsurprisingly Mugabe won).

  695. Face mostly but obviously body for repelling factors relating to it like tattoos or piercings, or being very out of shape though that usually shows in the face. Of course the ability to rate the body in the first place (e.g. revealing clothes and immodesty) are also a repelling factor and though a petite body shape is the best the extreme opposite is preferable if she covers everything up. Face is basically a sign of class, breeding and intelligence though maybe I'm not one to talk as foreigners consider me to have a taste for horse faced women. The face is also a turn off if they wear make-up, are (fake or otherwise) tanned or show they will age poorly. Personality does however beat both as modern culture has gifted disgusting attitudes to a vast multitude of women. The fact I don't sleep around does however allow me to have higher standards and also to look for them in order to find someone of a similar mindset.

If you want your kids to have the best opportunities in education in Japan then that is expense even if you are married to a salaryman or both work, which is why income is such a big demand for women of such a mindset when on the marriage market.

The best role lays in family as that is the buildingblock of civilisation. Work on the other hand can only be measured in money.

  702. Strangely no, the thing is that basically all priestly classes across history have argued that reality is up to the whims of fickle gods and only their interpretation with give one a guide of how to act, therefore you should hold them in the highest esteem and placate them with wealth. Islam was far along enough as a civilisation that this argument was made using the existence of atoms (God continually recreates the atoms of every moment of existence, his will is absolute and everything is at his will, therefore stop focusing on secular science and support religious learning), I have a feeling that certain intellectual trends in the west are trending the same, theories of historical determinism also flirt with it to a degree. The Christians are very strange in not following this trend, though they are utterly bizarre in numerous ways compared to basically any other civilisation, ironically the results of this were taken for granted by much of the enlightenment and then universalised as the basis of humanism. That element is largely what is being talked about by Carl, whatifalthis and the historian Tom Holland of all people (in his book Dominion).

  704. The traditional attitude towards child rearing probably has a part to play but the ministry of education has been found to have been preferentially allocating funding and promoting less 'inclusive' but more effective teaching methods in certain favoured London schools in effect creating state private quality schools with a direct track to elite universities which cater pretty much exclusively to minorities and are most likely meant to groom them for positions of power in the civil service and government.

  707. As it wasn't obvious to some people, if we have military training we can launch a coup. The new brits are unlikely to join unless dragged kicking and screaming so it's to our benefit to go along with it until we are formed into capable military units. Due to demographics such a force would be overwhelmingly on our side, and the current internal security apparatus would not be able to suppress the military. If we are disorganised and stupid enough to be deployed, then just switch sides, the Russians will thank the UK for training up the manpower for them. Unhappiness is extremely widespread, as things stand we are just boiling frogs, it's better if we have an out not matter what it is. I for one would sooner die in a civil war than one with Russians.

  708. The no dyed hair and only black hair rules contradict, they should only keep the no dyed hair rule. Strict school rules mean that troublemakers end up fighting against school uniform rules rather than something more important, it pushes out the frontline of the school and means that hopefully the students act of rebellion will be harmless to themselves (if you know teenagers you will know that their acts of rebellion are often self destructive) and if contain as much as possible any impact on those around them. The whole human rights discourse is unhelpful. You don't innately deserve anything, you must fight for what you want and be thankful for what you have. The schools do need to teach about prioritization however, the salary man ideal is worthless without something to work for, and that thing must be more important than work by being the motivation for it (e.g. spend more time with your kids rather than working to pay for them to go to a million clubs and extra curricula activities).

Considering some of the personalities in both world wars I have a feeling that a lot of the adventurous and mental sturdy types died in the trenches and the men who came back were disproportionately the chaff, though America had tiny casualties so they likely didn't suffer the same but then Americans were observed to be less sturdy from the first, which people at the time thought was to do with their lack of group cohesion and loyalty when in trying conditions.

  711. This sort of treatment and belief in polluting professions was very common historically and is still an issue with the caste system in India and the former lower caste in Japan (though they are treated more like how Europeans treat gypsys, though with less cause given the very low crime rates). For this in particular, medieval people believed in sin and damnation to hell, to take life maliciously was a sin which was worthy of eternal torture of the soul, as a result you can perhaps see why taking a life for coin was seen as dirty and of spiritual danger even if legal and necessary, they stood on the edge of condemning themselves to hell by their profession. In time professional executors would gain a better reputation in so far as they were solemn professionals retained by a city (execution rates went through the roof in later periods) and on personal terms with religious figures in the community (as the condemned had spiritual concerns the results of which could often decide the type of death, e.g. someone who begged mercy, asked forgiveness and cooperated with investigations might be beheaded, while a unrepentant psychopath might be turned into a public spectacle with an excruciating death, though the type of crime and the personal feelings of the executioner were also factors, women tended to be lightly treated no matter what they had done or how unpleasant they were to deal with).

  714. Great, the import of modern western values has already done incalculable damage to Japanese culture and society, now you are attempting to promote sectarian conflict and the breakdown of identities, it is better for Japan to deport all foreigners or to close itself off again than to import ideas which are actively designed to undermine social harmony and destroy the things that the nation holds dear. Such ideas have already wreaked a ruin on western states, is your intention to leave China as the only non-balkanised nation in more than name. The Ainu are largely ethnically Japanese but their culture should be preserved but not given special treatment as the Japanese government is the government of the Japanese people, not small pressure groups. The Koreans are still Koreans in large part and the government has been kind to them in overlooking that they form the backbone of the yakuza and the ones involved with North Korea are fifth columnists who have had a hand in the kidnapping and thus indirect murder of Japanese civilians. Half-Japanese are the only ones who can become real Japanese as they can be brought up within the culture and social environment of the nation, however not all of them do so and if they are truly a part of the society then their views don't matter more than anyone else's. Foreigners and Japanese born foreigners should not expect the society to conform to their whims, if you want to fit in then do so but you are owed nothing.

  718. No, we don't even know if he was African, all we know is that he was dark skinned (many groups in South Asia are just as dark skinned if not more than Africans and the Portuguese also had contact and brought slaves from them). He was made a retainer, meaning he was in Oda's personal company, he was not a samurai, just as European retainers were not knights by proximity to a Lord (retainers were paid, but samurai were both given more and explicitly recorded as samurai, he was not, from what there is he was basically a domestic servant meant to impress dignitaries with his exoticism and the worldlyness of his Lord by standing near him, western courts would later use Africans as doormen in court for the same reason, as well as the additional court cultural influence from the Ottomans). He never fought, if he had the honour code of the day would not have allowed him to survive the death if his Lord.

  721. Indo-europeans were differentiated by their red or blonde hair, pale skin and blue eyes. Some Afghanis still have those features in isolated regions as they are survivors of the various migrations since. Central Asia still had such populations prior to the Mongols, but before Russian Imperialism Asia was pretty thoroughly Arabised, Turkified and so on, the famous pathians had European features, as did many other steppe nomads, they even existed in China for some time, but were wiped out by the Chinese, who noted it was easy because of how they looked. The most purely descended people today are Germans and Scandinavians, but historically the nobility of most European countries had strong Germanic roots, and going before then there is considerable debates over whether ancient Mediterranean people's had more generic influence from them, it is quite likely that they did, though by no means certain.

  722. Japanese police feel awkward dealing with family situations or domestic disputes thanks to the very low crime rate and cultural emphasis on privacy and face. Japan is very cheap, just not in Tokyo, all the prestige is in being a salaryman in a dying economic, really there needs to be a change in cultural attitude, but the whole society is built around the existing system of corporate work. Women have entered the workforce to help with the lowering labour force but that slashed wages and made things worse, also women will let down the company if they have a family life. Dating is awkward so many don't make the effort, it was fine when the men were confident and the women had the expectation of being a housewife. Now both are overworked and make a similar amount, even if they still want much the same they are never in the position to do it and it seems too hard. Also dating is basically superimposed on the existing culture, in the past arranged marriage was still big and frankly it worked a lot better. Dating includes many of the same elements of arranged marriage but it will all break down if the person isn't approved, with arranged marriage people who wouldn't be approved wouldn't be considered. The current culture is very nihilistic. Really to fix things they will want to ban porn and prostitution, bring back arranged marriage and multi-generational households and move people out into the countryside rather than fixating on corporate jobs. A justifying ideology would also be good, traditionally Confucianism played this role, but Christianity and other traditional religions also focus on legitimizing the continuation of society though the family. I have to say this as liberalism is a socially atomiseing ideology.

  724. Japan has a somewhat suppressed culture of political assassination, it was rampant before American occupation, but even after it even indirect slights to the Imperial family can and have resulted in retribution. Back decades ago a poet wrote an imaginative piece about a revolution in Japan, he made a reference to the French revolution and their royal family using the Imperial family as a stand in, shortly afterwards a member of the public broke into his home and killed his maid and wife while trying to find and assassinate him, most of the Japanese public sympathised with the killer and not the mourning poet.

  727. It was suppressed somewhat after the war but yes German troops (both SS and non-SS) engaged in many similar actions towards civilians as the Japanese did including but not limited to; use of comfort women (unlike the Japanese they would sometimes murder all those they had been abusing in the makeshift brothel before bringing in a new batch), random violence including murder, sexual violence before premeditated murder as part of the early non concentration camps part of the final solution (the actions themselves seem to have been organised as the victims were separated out as part of the process, Soviets also did this as part of some post war reparations which were likely also mass murders in practice), the disorganised (though usually tacitly ordered) killings of entire villages (though units set up for the purpose were the most prolific), taking sexual advantage of desperate women and girls as young as 12, individual and group sexual violence without approval tacit or otherwise from higher ups (the number of assaults both approved and non approved by Nazi authorities is estimated at around 15 million in the East alone) with the age of victims ranging from the 90s to so young that the assault itself killed them, deliberately stealing food from starving people and stealing winter clothes from civilians during winter. As much of such crimes (perhaps even a majority for some of them) weren't committed by the SS it was seen as unhelpful to the denazifiction program to look too deeply into them, on top of this none of the allies wanted particularly to raise the point of sex crimes as it would bring out uncomfortable questions about some of the conduct of their own troops, also many (though by no means all) of the victims lived beyond the eastern curtain. Victimsherossurvivors.com has a good deal of more in depth information if you have the stomach for it. I hope I haven't misremembered any of the information.

The minorities may look out for there own interests, but there are more than enough young people for a revolution, the state after all has the same demographics, it's the lack of support among the young that matters.

  734. Your sources misuse the word moderate, the people sympathetic to reform in Russia were not moderate, they had some backing in specifically st Petersburg aristocratic intellectual circles, the vast majority of the population were however deeply orthodox and viewed the regime in religious terms, this was also the case in much of the aristocracy, including the non-russian aristocracy and especially strong in the army, the army and aristocracy did however have large factions of self-serving and corrupt members who either didn't believe in anything much at all or believed in self-aggrandizement. There had been efforts at reform by earlier tsars, but this was due to enlightenment philosophy and the idea was always for them to remain autocratic, they merely liked enlightenment ideas much more than Christian ones. But by the revolution this had been dead for about a century, the reforms since then were meant to increase the power of the tsar and cut off corrupt nobles, even if historians often have a narrative that attributes different goals to tsars with very much the same aims and intentions. The best person on Russia is probably apostolic majesty, look him up. The massive terror campaign by the left in Russia was not in any sense popular, the Tsar's had a great deal of trouble suppressing pogroms started by angry groups of Russians against who they blamed for such terror, as they had armed militias this violence very often wasn't one sided, and the diaspora at the time spread fake news in the west that has coloured understanding since, the army and cossacks were often committed against those committing the pogrom but as opposition was a state policy during a lost of authority over troops one of the first things they would do would start a pogrom themselves. Russia had a strong intellectual class, almost all of whom were not leftist, but liberal ideas, nationalism and utopianism were relatively common. However a large part were orthodox monarchists, even if some groups saw it as crass to have the same views as the average peasant. Even many of the liberals saw the state as overly weak and passive due to a lack of nationalist, spiritual and Slavic unionist militarism. In a sense the state was weak as it acted in a fairly humane fashion towards people it should have wiped out as a first priority, many active revolutionaries at worst got a few years exile or a prison sentence.

  735. That's not even slightly true, we are more related to Scandinavians than to Spanish, to Spanish than to Turks and to Turks than to Jews. Our relation to Africans is so separate that there are occasional arguments about whether Europeans evolved separately from Africans (as in we became human in the Balkans or Pontic Steppe and they are a separate species that evolved similarly out of the same general type of pre-species). This is what the Bible likely implies, but geneticists think it unlikely, or at least that any such group intermixed with those coming out of Africa to one extent or another.

  736. The samurai class was abolished during imperial restoration in the 1870's, the occupation by America had a huge effect on Japan, but not in that way, they were already very westernized prior to losing the war. The closest thing that happened was that the peerage (modelled off European nobility) were abolished. Also the mega-corps were officially disbanded, though they continued with a looser affiliation and were instrumental both to the Japanese having a backwards corporate system, and with the Americans not managing to take over the economy and wreck it. The Americans notably brought in the culture of liberalism, filled the education system with communists (which they then panicked about and brought in counter-weights to) and spent their occupation acting towards women very like the Soviets did during the invasion of Germany, as it continued for years it might have reached higher numbers than the Soviets, as Stalin only gave his troops a certain period of freedom on that account as spoils of war.

  737.  @audreyroche9490  Yes there are significant genetic differences, though that is also the case in much of Europe. Parts of France are also quite Celtic. People also tend to forget that there are internal groups with a lot of difference as well, the Normans who settled in Scotland, Wales and Ireland would be fundamental to the military effectiveness of Britain in the 19th century, making up a good deal of it's officers. In England it's hard to tell as there were multiple population transfers from essentially indistinguishable people, though parts of England remain very Celtic on a genetic level, which is part of the reason people from different classes and areas look distinct, the mixture is different.

  738. The problem with taking exclusively from unit histories is that they will always put a good spin on things. They are less reliable even than memoirs. Likewise I wouldn't trust sources with nationalist motivations or religious sensitivity. Which is to say I'm sure they treated other Bosnians well enough but that isn't really the point and generally the low regard of the rest of the army should be taken into account (speeches or commendations aimed towards them mean little, they are meant to raise morale and establish unit pride and identity, not reflect reality).

  748. He's getting it from the Frenchman he cited, and yeah it's pretty wrong, inheritance laws and family structure shifted over time and was different in different classes and ethnic groups. Very often it was explicit laws rather than social traditions that shaped them. For example Tsarist Russia has very extensive laws around personal and family honour as well as succession and practically everything else, likewise they had many groups who did things differently, or didn't care about the law unless they were made to, usually they had their own legal structures. In Britain the Nobility continued Norman attitudes but the rest of the population was much more mixed. It's like trying to use latitude to predict urbanisation, maybe there's a correlation but it's basically a fluke, other factors lead to it happening.

  766. I said getting married for a reason, despite what this guy say sleeping with a girl is eminently achievable, the issue is relationships lasting beyond a couple of years and producing children, it works out for some people but not for most. I know plenty of guy's who'd be considered 'chads' but they tend to be starved of affection, to a certain extent it's their own fault for not settling with the single mothers willing to actually have the sort of relationship they want, but really even the bounds of the conversation around stuff like this shows how fucked it is. You can only talk to so many deeply unhappy people before you realise that things need to change on a very fundamental level. It is imperative for people of our background and persuasion to have large families and start them young, to do this we need social norms reinforcing and complimenting that goal, a path to help men get to their destination and a place for women to feel valued and secure.

The traditional argument has been baseless since access to the Soviet archives means that we can objectively assess how right or wrong he was, since then the history has only moved in the direction of exonirating him of the long list of false claims and slanders on his character and motivations. One's own political loyalties are irrelevant to this and claiming it to be fascistic is neglecting the fact that fascists are themselves principally interested in subverting the state and that they are so miniscule in number that all those in the world could probably fit into a football stadium.

  770. @ This is a deep flaw in democratic systems as these groups become political blocks. Politics becomes a struggle over resources and the state becomes a tool for internal conflict. Empire can be overly generalised as they have different state structures, for most of the last two hundred years Europeans thought there was only one empire, Rome, but were in dispute over whether the emperor was in the east or west. States which give a good deal of local autonomy are basically one of only two types of states that can remain stable in spite of diversity, the other kind is totalitarianism, which goes back to legalism (the Chinese philosophy) and the first emperor of china. In terms of feudal states Russia was a success story for the most part, and while Austria was a dynastic success story and the problems are very largely over stated they did much less with more, those one has to remember that Austria carried on centuries of gruelling war defending europe from a military giant just as one should remember that the Russians lived on a plane, to the north of steppe, the Eurasian steppe, their society is remarkable for surviving at all, that they thrived would be unprecedented if not for Prussia, which was likewise forged in hardship and against odds.

  771. @ It can be attributed to a population surplus caused by the introduction of western agriculture, sanitation and medical care. Colonial empires with few exceptions were financial drains, and the current international order is far more exploitative as it hides under liberation that if you pay off the leadership you don't need to invest in infrastructure or bother much with maintaining a functioning political system. The border peoples of the austrian empire were very largely derived of immigrants and refugees from the subject peoples of the ottoman empire (the famous hussars came from fleeing Serb nobles), and they formed frontier military settlements much like the cossacks and lived in almost perpetual conflict protecting from raids and serving in the military campaigning of the state forces. Likewise the Croatians were known for loyalty to the empire just as the Germans and Czechs were. The Hungarians and Romanians were the most bitter (though in the Romanian case mostly at the Hungarians), and the Serbs would only after their own state came about and they weren't in it. People in historical Europe didn't think about things in a modern way.

  772. The enlightenment was tied into romantic notions about Roman republicanism, just as Venna and Moscow were new romes in a religious sense and it would be argued by continuity, the English, American and French liberals all sort to build an ideal of pre-imperial Roman political and cultural enlightenment within their own states. Architecture would come to have fairly direct insinuations of political sympathies, neo-classical suggested whiggism while more localised and established forms had their own meanings, such symbolism would still be an actively contested matter by the Russian emigres only a century ago (one church design or another implied different political loyalties among a group who were only united by exile and would happily have fought each other in different circumstances).

  777.  @joedatius  Have you read about the 30 years war or other periods of extreme instability, very small active military forces can do massive damage, as can what are essentially brigands. 13% of your population is likely to start burning things down the moment something kicks off, they would also immediately break down the left wing alliance by going after people they have gripes with or who are easy pickings rather than only the opponents of the regime. Any conflict in America is likely to continue for a long time. The disorganised nature would only add to the turmoil. It is preferable if there was a late republican transition, but the right in America don't hold the vision, power structures or motivation to see anything like that through. Also the win state for basically every party which isn't a subject of the American imperial project is balkanisation. America is geographically strong, that has to be mitigated or they will arise from the ashes stronger.

  778. I know there is a Russian Orthodox Church in Cardiff, but not many near where I am. There are Greek orthodox but unfortunately they have close political ties to the American regime. I would recommend church plantings heavily, the Latin mass lot are the only alternative and facing extreme pressure from the top. Not only would strident Orthodoxy make massive inroads, so would any Latin rite orthodox push as that is greatly more familiar in aesthetics to western sensibilities. The Church of England is divesting itself of Church's but if the money is limited (which I imagine it is) then I recommend buying small plots of land, consecrating it and then putting yurts up, very cheap in a property nightmare and permanent so long as a stove is kept burning to keep out the damp. The opportunities are great, and a righteous Church which recognises Orthodox, Autocracy, Nationality, deserves to sweep up the shattered remains of Christendom.

Carl is fully aware, he is just careful about expressing it and open to alliances of convenience/willing to associate more widely than most in the space. One of the reasons he has stayed relevant is that he cultivates widespread relationships and then acts as a mediator within the community. He saves up good will for the crusades he thinks he can win.

However I imagine a good few people will get lost, but I don't really see how that can be avoided, this itself is the most accessible source of information on this topic already to actually have much quality to it, unless people are going to read the books on the topic that some eccentric Victorian British officer inevitably put together as the comprehensive authority on central Asian carpet weaving, the Byzantine influence on Church architecture in Armenia and the tribal structures of Yemen.

Churchill made a great deal of mistakes, and he was also involved is large scale war crimes, the most notable is the mass deportation (minimum of tens of thousands, but it's still heavily classified so we don't know exactly) of Russian emigres (yes including their families) to Stalin, he did save some Ukrainian camp guards though (to act as translators for MI6).

Indeed he's pretty good by journalistic standards as he pursues his stories rather than merely regurgitating other stories, stuff people said on Twitter or whatever official press outlets put out as the angle that morning. It's a for profit business, obviously he's going to seek a profit, but equally I'm sure he'd make a lot more if he sold out. I don't like criticisms like this, there are actual substantive things to say about people without just calling them greedy, especially as it diminishes how truly terrible the actual shills are.

  786.  @raylenn4444  That is an utterly materialist and inhuman perspective, though also an exceedingly common one. Humans are group animals not lone survivors in a post-apocalyptic fiction and families are not just for tax benefits. Morals are necessary for a society to grow in the first place as people will find it difficult to cooperate without common understanding of acceptable behaviour, if you think people run roughshod over it now you should see what would happen if they could plead ignorance or find offence at every slight. Societies are made up of people, it is natural that they should restrict freedom because different people’s personal freedoms conflict, the society mediates to find a compromise so that the right of strength, coin or power does not dominate over all.

  789. Japan should limit foreign influence, wealth does not have any seeming effect on the number of children people have so focusing on the wealth of the population is of secondary importance as wealth is worthless if there is no-one to inherit it. The fact the the West is having the same problem as Japan is enough to not bother with their solutions, one should only adopt solutions that actually work and most western solutions have if anything proven the opposite. The eraser of traditional values and culture is not reversible and thus is not something that should be entered into heedlessly.

  790. No, reconnaissance is useful but you have to have capabilities in order to exploit intelligence, it's like having anti-terror armed police the only component of the police force, they would simply be unable to cover their required tasks. In any war the British military would be left as a minor axillary component of the US, any losses would soon prove unsustainable as most young people would only take up arms if it was against the government.

  791.  @SockLove  Both men and women are emotional creatures but women are a hell of a lot more focussed on empathy and emotional thinking than men are, as you’d know if you ever bumped into one. It’s not bullshit and the people who claim it is have practically no evidence backing them, it would be wrong to put it as a universal as there are certainly exceptions but in the differences between men and women it is something that stands out the most. It also makes a great deal of sense considering the conditions to which the different sexes were historically acclimatised. I know it is trendy to pretend established knowledge is invalided by bogus calls of the natural progression of history or the discounting of all evidence which does not accord with ideological sensibilities but without acknowledging facts we can never ascertain reality.  There were a number of women who were quite prominent in the sphere and they are quite noticeable by their extremely particular thinking, I myself have been considered somewhat abnormal in mine but I must admit to being totally outdone, they are extremely logical and fastidious and I must admit I don’t know where it comes from as I’ve heard autism is women manifests differently, in men of the type that is very often the case however, and the differences in men and women are displayed I think in that autism is sometimes called hyper-masculinised thinking. Frankly as far I’m concerned the more women like that the better but I will also admit that that is the most sexist sentiment I have yet displayed as the more stereotypical womenhood is invaluable to a functioning society probably more so than anything logic alone can contribute.

  795. I highly recommend reading warriors and peasants, the don cossacks in late imperial Russia by Shane O'Rourke, in the introduction it talks about how the reforms in Russia were most likely what destabilized the regime. Given my other reading I think this interpretation has to be taken very seriously, many autocratic nations did not have a transition of social institutions, liberal reforms basically pulled the carpet out from under the actual functioning of the state and society. You can argue that you don't like the old system, but it did work, where as the result was nations in a simultaneous economic boom (often not much bigger however than the one already in the process of happening due to technology, and very often centrally mismanaged rather than naturally developing as was taking place before reforms) and social death spiral.

  796. The current Pope has been involved in a lot of controversies within the Church, persecuting traditionalists and the Latin mass, making theologically and doctrinally questionable comments, appointing political allies as cardinals, overlooking serious indiscretions of the sort familiar to most people at this point, and recently greenlighting the blessing of gay partners. In short he has scandalised the church in the eyes of many faithful and has done significant damage to the reputation and prestige of the Catholic church among many other Christian denominations. Notably burning bridges with the Orthodox that the church has been trying to build for decade's, but also giving fuel to the old protestant accusation of the Pope being the anti-Christ. Also this has worsened the factionalism and problem with schisms they have.

  797. I've always been right wing, and have only got more so over time. Multiculturalism was very obviously wrong as I went to a multiracial primary school and it was basically a caste system (Pakistanis at the top, then English working class, then blacks). Liberal morality always seemed to me to be outright evil, with little care for where 'freedom' actually led people or feeling of responsibility towards putting them in a direction good for them. Monarchism and Imperialism were also there from before I could walk, I grew up with a lot of nods to our imperial history still around and it was pretty clear that I was represented by the Queen, and not the government, though I only found out a couple of years into primary school that we weren't part of America and didn't use dollars. The normie parts were thinking the Tories were like me or that liberals are honest in their narratives. Also tribal thinking has taken some getting used to, but is necessary, I found that my family like many lost kin to decolonisation. I got confirmed as Christian in 2018, and a lot of my focus since then has been theology and philosophy in order to understand the root of our problem. But yeah, I loathed Blair and Labour even as a child, as one born during his rule, and really it has been a process of discovery rather than any change in mindset or fundamental values. We are tied by duties and obligations as, of and to the people that we are, to do right by them under God is our meaning, it's really quite simple once you get beyond liberal ideological obfuscation and the perverse values of the liberal society.

  798. Before even revolution the tax rate is lower than before it. The story of Russian revolution taxes is that the state was willing to forgo a considerable income from alcohol taxs in order to lower alcohol consumption, this made drunks mad.

  801. The rate of fire does matter for the ability to do it. Such a thing might not matter in a battle or it might be crucial depending on circumstance. The fact that if an opening was shown it could be exploited much more by longbowmen is not to be discounted. For example a unit wheels to undertake some action within range (say to move up and reinforce a different part of the line), the time relatively short window that such an opportunity presents could lead to much more devastating results. Another is say a unit of longbows takes engaged infantry from the flank, crossbows in a similar situation would do much less before a counter reaction by the enemy could be inacted. Of course of of this requires capable leadership, initiative, discipline and training but the English in this period certainly had that. It might also explain why such types of troops became ineffectual over time, the means to exploit their strengths weakened. Certainly during the bishops war English motivation, discipline and leadership would have made such formations much weaker as by the time less armour was worn technology alone doesn't explain the decline, the poor organisation of the troops themselves might.

  803. Some village massacres had started before cowpore but neither side knew it, it was by particularly ruthless British officers using native troops and before cowpore they likely would have got in serious trouble once it was found out. The outbreak of violence after cowpore was massive and directly in response to it, after it the burning of all villages which had attacked or mistreated British civilians was easy to justify, on top of this many native supporters of the British were eager for loot and had no sympathy with people they had a long history of violence against. The afghani tribes especially likely backed the British seeing the opportunity to loot and kill without the British getting in their way. After Cowpore arriving British and native regiments were marched past it and many swore vengeance, likewise the territories at war were by nature filled with the relatives and associates of the dead and their anger was soon manifested against anyone they even suspected of being a rebel. The men who committed atrocities before cowpore were generally considered dishonorable but the actions of those after it were not questioned until decades later. To add to this eminent men like Nicholson were strongly against mercy, and he at least would have his opinion bolstered by being martyred. The government at least acted to limit excesses, though many soldiers would forever afterwards consider it an injustice to the victims and the groundwork of a possible repeat, which would feed into the later siege mentality of the British who were in India.

  807. I wonder if the attitude towards prostitution was taken into account by the study. Either way the numbers are very high, it might in part be that a society with community based morals has adopted increasingly a individualized structure from a society where individual moral accountability (to absolutist moral principles and in an internally consistent reality) supervised by a higher power with the threat of eternal damnation was the context of development. Certainly the move away from such a framework and the implementation of the results of other belief systems is not going terribly well in the west (you end up with problems like the undermining of belief in objective reality by competing ideological faiths), but in a country without the same foundations it is dubious that it can hold up at all. The family vs work problem is certainly one of the primary ones facing Japan and I will get off the fence and say that family is absolutely more important and a touch of Confucianism might be in order to fix the current problems even if westerners would likely screech like they had been doused in holy water.

  810. I wonder what the ethnic makeup of Russians on a genetic level even is, I've looked at thousands of pictures from Tsarist Russians, the vast majority look notably different to modern Russians. Usually much more Northern European though not quite fully in line with germanics, just similar. Modern Russians have a different build, darker features and are much softer faced. Considering the amount of sexual violence and the destruction of so many internal groups I would not be surprised if there has been quite the shift. Just as many Prussians have some Russian in them thanks to the Soviets, I suspect that rather than Mongolian there is some semetic ancestry in many of these distinct looking chaps, as that's what others who look like them usually in that region of the world usually are.

  813. It seems like the solution doesn't lay in normalizing divorce or becoming westerners (considering their divorce rate that actively wouldn't help). The solution seems to be to demonize cheating and to hold people responsible for it in the eyes of society whether it leads to divorce or not. Changing attitudes around marriage might also help, if you want love you have to cultivate it, it takes hard work but 'discovering' it is like panning for gold and has the same chance of long term prospects. If you want to work for the sake of your child work on your relationship. Obviously in this case the woman is faultless and once someone has broken vows it is beyond fixing. Demonizing the women who sleep with married men might be something as well. But such men can always lie, cheat with cheaters or go to prostitutes. Maybe we need some ancient wisdom, I believe the bible's was 'stone them, stone them all'.

Even self employment is still work, just with yourself as the boss and the self sufficient lifestyle does not free you from obligations, it just puts their management into your hands. I’m not entirely sure what you mean by the capitalist system as everyone seems to have their own definition of which means that people can use the same words to make valid criticism or to attack basic economic principals with no idea that they are basically saying we should try square wheels because the round ones don’t go fast enough. I still bump into people who think barter is better than currency. My point wasn’t really materialist but nevermind, if I get into different concepts of freedom I’ll never shut up.

  817. The vampire hunter should have had his confidence in science destroyed, and the esoterism should have been mocked, the conclusion needed to be in line with the folkmyth, the truest danger to the vampire should have been monastics, spiritual warriors. Likewise any sacrifice should have been part of Christian allegory rather than anything modernist. Unfortunately the lack of grounding within a historical tradition and the realisation of its perspective is a break from form. The other movies are all excellent, if requiring a rather more of a taste for art than I have and historical knowledge that I have but many won't, that said these are the sorts of movies to inspire a love of one and a hunger for the other. There are many excellent films he could make, this would not have been a pick of mine, but it clearly has personal meaning. Same with the lighthouse.

  821. Poverty was a lot worse in the past and mental health care was a great deal less prominent, needing more socialised care is not the issue, from my experience it is totally ineffective and often even counter productive. The are a number of issues at play, a very different social climate with relatively few and weak bonds, an endemic of selfishness, no natural osmosis of successful coping techniques and an inoculation of a false sense of entitlement, on top of this some communities also have a paranoia about being victimised which leads to hyper sensitivity and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. At least part of personality as well as mental disorders may be genetically linked and as such higher birth rates among the lowest strata of society will mean a greater proportion of the population will present issues over time, though this is a lot more clear cut in Europe than the US. Bad teaching policy and poor parenting are also a problem which tends to just compound everything. I am studying education at university and it has made it very very clear that I will have to home-educate my children, the quality of education isn't even decent and socialization is appalling, the academia involved makes it very clear that there won't be reform or improvement, there are entrenched interests at play and they simply don't care about the children. Our society is also deeply sick and I would recommend that even if you aren't religious you take a Christian understanding of virtues and vices as modern society has got lost in abstractions and really doesn't give one a good roadmap to contentment at all.

  823. Sexuality and violence are very different in terms of normalizing things, indeed given they you are defending it you likely already know that as it's on the level where it's observable. Porn use leads essentially to a tolerance building up and people moving deeper into depravity for their kicks, it also engains fetishes. Violent videogames are more at outlet for violent impulses than a magnifier of them, those they don't really help either. Both keep men, including possible predators of the street, by porn creates more predators, spreads depression and despondency and with the internet you don't need to be on the streets to cause harm. Turkey Tom did a video yesterday, I recommend you watch it as the whole thing is basically an example of the problem. The argument isn't at these point whether it is bad, it's to what extent, whether we should deal with it, and how, as I'm not a libreal I think yes and Jesus respectively, on a wider level banning it and improving society are needed.

  825. The Japanese are a lot weaker culturally and demographically than they were in WW2. The willingness to fight and die for the emperor is one of the things which there has been considerable effort to undermine and also the are large groups of anti war opponents (who are fanatical and thus will undermine the public interest no matter what and left wing traitors (the communists and socialists who are both entrenched in the education system and have a history of doing nasty stuff like covering for the North Koreans when there were suspicions about people going missing along the coasts). A large part of the population is elderly and unlike in other countries there aren't even going to have ever had military training, Japan will have a lot less to make up troop numbers than the population size would suggest. The one thing which might be good is production, there is already a work culture of working yourself to death without complaint and most people are reasonably clever and know how to work together and take orders so production would probably go a lot smoother than most would think possible for such a challenge and in a timeframe which would leave western experts baffled. They would just have issue finding the men to use the equipment who aren't one foot in the grave or totally apathetic.

Very much the case, but it was also very necessary for the Indian government post-independence to legitimise their rule, there were to many Indians who had lived though the raj who might have chosen functioning administration and law over political independence, and it would have been destabilising to have been compared unfavourably to the colonial occupiers. However it does also undermine the fight against corruption and the building upon what was left to make a better India, as South Africa has shown excuses for failure can be a dangerous thing if left in the hands of politicians.

The whole plan to arm, train and organise lots of young European men sounds like the most spectacular facilitation of a backfire ever, most of these people have far more hostility to their own state than to any outside one, and the newcomers don't have any loyalty at all and have shown that you might as well be reinacting the lead up to the 30 years war with how well these plans by the liberal European states is going. To be frank they are only stable by lack of opportunity, there are very large dissatisfied contingents within basically every European state that doesn't border Russia.

His flaws are that he is very naive about human nature and that he worships institutions. But he wrote an entire book about the decriminalization of weed and many other important topics, the issue is that he tends to pull everything back into books he already wrote and research he already did, and he never listens to anyone outside of his own head. Of course this is how he has been so unwavering, but it also makes him very painful to talk to.

However in most regards they are in a much better situation, notably their elite culture is much better (for Japan, South Korea makes eastern Europe look above board) and most of the problems are caused by them importing western fashions in the same way as they used to Chinese ones without really understanding the underlying logic or motivations.

The idea of discipline and military law being at an extremely high level is most notable among the British army post-wellington, but there were exceptions and a lot of them. The Americans have the concept but they tend to only implement it in regards to actions without higher approval, and even that selectively. Germans like other Europeans in pre-modern times had rules of war based on Aristocratic and Christian norms of mercy and decency, when fighting schismatics or peasant rebels the rules were much more loose and when fighting non-Christians they didn't exist beyond personal inclination at all, and things could and did become extremely unpleasant.

Some soldiers in specialised roles were issued sidearms (trench raiders, storm troopers, men with trenchguns or flamethrowers or anything else where the benefit outweighed the cost, meaning that different nations branch's or even units would hold to different standards at different times) on top of that a great deal of soldiers ended up with things never issued to them whether scrounged, stolen or found (same for both weapons and equipment with good quality waterproof boots in something vaguely approaching their size being the item most desired). On top of this pistols and sometimes swords were generally referred to as sidearms at the time even when they were a soldiers (generally an officers) only weapon, the meaning may have changed but people will still commonly use it with the old intention as it’s easier to just use period lingo than to explicitly convert everything over so that it’s more clear to the small minority for whom such differentiation is relevant in their day to day life.

  847. The belief in early Christianity was that the spirits, Gods and monsters the Greco-Roman world believed in were demons. St George was a Christian, a martyr and a soldier, him slaying the old gods of the blood sacrifice and bring the word of Christ by the lance and sword was not just totally Christian but very appealing to the warrior nobility who developed out of his background into their own (titles like Duke, Count and the like were of Roman military origin). It was popular both with the Orthodox soldiers of the following centuries and ultimately millennia, and the Catholic Germanic descendent Knights.

  848. Saying you are the brother of Jesus is typically taken as announcing that you are a cult, it does after all imply that you are the son of God and a perfect human, both of which are pretty substantial claims. There are a variety of cults which are semi-derived from Christianity but they don't tend to be classified as Christian by anyone but themselves if there their beliefs are in contradiction to the religion enough of an extent. Likewise Mormons call themselves Christians but are classified as their own religion by everyone else, same with a number of stereotypical exploitative cults including communes of Nazi (as in straight up WW2 ones) child abusers and any number of death cults. The Chinese even had a civil war with a different proclaimed brother of Jesus and received western support in doing so (famously Gordon of Khartoum was involved). Equally I can claim to be the long lost twin brother of the Prophet Mohammed but the fact I would claim such a thing is probably a sign that I'm not a Muslim. I believe the channel ready to harvest made a video on this exact topic which probably explains it better than I could and he's an academic on the subject as well.

  849.  @aleksazunjic9672  As I alluded to somewhat, Brazil ended their slave trade largely due to the British and the British also pressured the confederates (lol) to give up the practice. One of the main routes, that being through the Sudan, was taken over by the British and with considerable effort. Even before that they have raided slave ships in the Red sea and helped escaped slaves who made it to their embassy in Cairo. To merely point out the revival ignores the fact that the efforts of the British left the trade in such a state that it had to be revived.

  857. The fact that he was crowned tsar was largely due to duplicitous boyars, the reason the poles failed largely thanks to the polish acting highhanded, superior and free from law while in Moscow plus the peerless efforts of the Russian church in coordinating nobles and rallying the deeply religious lower classes. The poles were largely invited in as many boyars wanted to be rid of the responsibilities and limits on their powers and looked greedily at the highly oppressive and decentralised system that the commonwealth had set up. Paternal autocracy runs deep in Russia however and many nobles learnt that the tsar was as much a protection as a limit on their power as without him the social contract was null and the peasants were free to answer abuses directly and insofar as force rather than any sense of justice or due process would allow.

  858. Anime ironically has a lot more diversity of values than any western media, overwhelmingly so when it comes to children's media. Their are a lot of hidden gems and intrinsically traditionalist series, also a respect for Victorian society and morals that you would never find in the west in the series that cover it (though not all of them certainly the ones with passion behind them). Even the majority of the subversive stuff is 1970's level degeneracy and focused on empty sexuality and selfishness, though an increasing amount are becoming westernized as the Japanese are far too uncritical of western society, American influence has already made the country a lot worse but the new ideology is now knocking on the door and the idiots haven't noticed the nature of it.

If east Asian you are getting into a Celt being more related to an eastern slav than them territory. You are basically fabricating new races of men as the same applies on the other side, they are not of one group but rather of their own. In other words it's a terrible idea, shortsighted and exacerbates this problem in other countries. The only solution is to put your foot down and reject the current social norms of western society. Whether that is through Christianity or the political disenfranchisment of socially irresponsible groups and their interests.

  870. There were basically none ever, it might even have been literally none ever. Just to clarify a few things that people might be confused by, Moor was a historical term for Muslims is wasn't limited to North Africa and most North Africans are either Caucasian or Semitic, their are small minorities of black people as a result of the Arab slave trade and likewise the existing people mixed somewhat with Africans however the current evidence suggests that that intermingling was also part of the Arab slave trade and the further back you go the less there was, but that was a surprising finding given the geography so there if likely be more research to clarify. The white slave trade also seems to have had an effect on North African genetics to an even greater extent, through that is probably regionally dependant. Berbers also are not black and like many North Africans do not appreciate being referred to as such. The was intermixing between Mennonites and Europeans during the Crusades and also the local Christian population (which was about half the population when the crusaders arrived, as later persecution and conversation efforts hadn't yet happened. But the population of the region also isn't black and they had practically no contact with the Ethiopians despite being very well deposed towards them. There were English nobility in Portugal during the reconquest but they did not for the most part leave and marrying into the people they were fighting against wouldn't have conferred anything of value, not that those people were even sub-Saharan besides some slave soldiers. Vikings didn't have trade routes with Africa. They dealt with Byzantines, Arabs and central Asians at the furthest extent the trade routes went, as slave sellers they likely wouldn't have been very interested in buying other than maybe a few novelty items, which would likely be the only way they ever would have come into contact with blacks and obviously there would have been no possibility of political prestige for someone who was a curiosity for some court, central Asians could and did marry into prestige because the point of contact was with powerful families and rich traders and marriage alliances would have to be formed, likewise interactions with the Greeks was not a one sided thing, there seems to be less suggestion when it comes to the Arabs, but that is likely due to the influence of circumcision and the ban on alcohol dissuading them somewhat. English nobility not a chance, their was some very distant relation to Arabs due to marrying people who had made marriage alliances with foreign royalty in the past (which is how the Queen is a descendant of the prophet Muhammad) but most medieval nobility took lineage very seriously and wouldn't want to marry anyone of a low station let alone a foreigner on top of that. There was a period between the discovery of routes to the African coast and the start of mass scale slavery where Africans were decently respected in Europe but that was mostly in Iberia and they were never seen as nobility, indeed such things were so unusual that we know about them as the few times a black person made it into nobility it was such that quite a few people would remark on it and the story would be recorded, as far as I know there was one case in France, another in Poland and one in Russia, France and Russia both during the enlightenment and Poland during the time when a tenth of the country were nobles and peasants would declare themselves such in the hope that no one would bother to check.

  871.  @signorasforza354  It was a mixture of exiles (which largely works so long as they were kept there, later generations were politically disinterested but revolutionaries never reforms, their children didn't keep up the fire), immigration for work and other opportunities and offers of free or cheap land to peasants. These groups were part of a single empire for centuries, most stayed in their local communities but plenty of people moved around, some willingly Russified, those especially in the elite ended up a mixture of cultures, it was a hodgepodge. On the other side elements of the Russian elite were extremely bohemian and got into pan-slavic nationalist ideals, which often have western liberal influence, even more confusing when these were ethnic germans or the like. There was also the ancient Muscovy revivalists, Tsar Nicholas II was into that. Politics of the time are often interpreted based on what happened later, but at the time a lot was up in the air. Only the old polish nobility were consistent on not wanting to be part of the empire, basically everyone else, including the polish middle class and peasants tended to shift depending on political context, direction of travel, and what ideas were in vogue at the time. Also I'm British.

  872. I don't get trying to minimise the reality of a situation which could kill the country, we need solutions not empathy. That said I don't think virgin men are the issue, the lack of marriage is an issue, the problem is likely a mixture of dating being poorly optimised to lead to successful relationships and the education system turning out overly passive people. Honesty it also seems like the just get by attitude is having a negative effect due to a belief in things not being good, material comfort is secondary in life, given the great amount of opportunities in Japan especially for young people there is a great deal to motivate. There aren't many first world countries were a young person can reasonably expect to be able to buy a house, not to mention that even for working class the soft factors like danger from crime are far better than anywhere in the west. I know that urging positivity is irritating, I'm a pessimist myself, but the attitude of things being hopeless just seems like an excuse to give up and not try, an attitude which is frankly disrespectful to the ancestors who suffered so much more than you to put you in your position. Japan should just pick it's poison wether Confucian or Christian, nihilism gets you nowhere and is just a waste of life and potential.

  876. Being an Englishman I see is as a repeat of the migration period (also known as the dark ages), but that period was a lot worse for Britain than the rest of Europe, with the Romano-British being wiped out in genocide by the Anglo-Saxons. We already have some truly horrific stuff happening with Rotherham and the like. I'm in the Christian camp, as far as I'm concerned it is the basis and only future for western civilisation. But liberalism must be utterly expunged, while if possible restoring the English liberties that formed the basis of it's justification for a parliamentary oligarchy usurping power from the anointed monarch and by it God. I recommend Robert Filmer by Imperium Press. As I see it we are in for very hard times, and we should start collaborating and building organisational structures now so that we aren't vulnerable to groups who are better organised and more cohesive. Really the trouble has already started.

Though I might as well state that I have no expectation of the permanent collapse of polities in the region but rather the destruction of the current systems and the likely loss (or cementing of the loss) of the historical legacies of most of the continents cultures, peoples, and political entities. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if France (which I say through gritted teeth as an Englishman) was still kicking about during and after that as they seem to be the most active in not drowning.

  878. The highlanders were monarchists, even if they didn't like the dynasty, this was a religious position, they believed hierarchy to be divinely mandated. They did not like the supremacy of parliament, let alone republicianism or treason. Calvinists have typically been of the mind that the only King is Christ. Thus they formed a core part of the non-conformist (e.g. Protestant but not Anglican) political block,which was the backbone of both the roundheads and the patriots. Ironically many highlanders were Presbyterian, however the political implications of it's theology seem not to have become deeply rooted as was the case in the lowlands and Ireland. Likewise the patriots were under the delusion of monarchical tyranny, being too far from the political centre of power to understand that their faction was dominant in England in the wake of the glorious revolution, there was a reason why much of the political elite in Britain was so sympathetic, they belonged to a common ideology (nascent liberalism), religious background (non-conformist) and political grouping (the Whigs), usually they were both from the same regions of England and related by blood. The revolution was thus a continuation in many respects to the dispute of the English civil war, and ironic in that within England the revolutionary side had already won and thus the loyalists were fighting for liberalism under a puppet king rather than liberalism under a constitutional republic, of course they would have seen treason to the monarch as sacrilege even if he held restrictive, illusive and diminishing power, but all the same it turned the conflict in a core sense into a farce.

  880. Jesus some of the comments here. If your wife gets back from work later than you the by all means you should cook for her if the opposite the opposite. A couple who cook separately for only themselves while living under the same roof are an odd sort of couple (unless it's a one with nightshift one with dayshift type deal but even try to make at least a little effort) and using an excuse like "I ain't a slave to no man" is just pitiable, why be in a relationship where you are so confrontational and unwilling to make an effort in the first place. If you hate a chore divide up the chores accordingly. A refusal to do any work is a sign of an unequal relationship it's when you are unwilling to do anything that is when you truly have nothing to offer but that which some of you so crudely claimed is the only thing men see in you. I've seen plenty of women (far far more than I've ever seen men) who Lord over their husband's like tyrants refuse to do any housework no matter how trifling and will not make the smallest of sacrifices even for their own children all under the banner of "equality" or "empowerment" as if those are not merely words but licenses to walk over others and do anything they wish without censor, but none of that strips away the reality of how petulant, entitled and unpleasant such action and such a mindset are. Being a women doesn't exempt you from the expectations of basic human decency, morality and responsibility, just as being strong doesn't exempt men, nor power elites. And nor bloody should it.

  882. While he was a reporter in Italy during the 20's and like many contemporary figures complementary of Mussolini he had a much more strained relationship with the Nazi's as despite is virulent anti-communism they were too liberal for his tastes (Mussolini was subject to the King) and he was critical of their racial views. He would refuse to work as a mouthpiece for them and his newspaper didn't last very long after they took power as as ever he was fairly forthright with his views. While he's a 20th century intellectual and student of Hegel he is much more comparable to someone like Robert Filmer. Notably he was connected to the hardline monarchist faction within the exiles (a big fan of Baron Wrangel) and very closely aligned with the Orthodox Church in exile. He was certainly sympathetic to fascism, but how much of one he was is ambiguous, partly because fascism was more than a little ideologically schizophrenic, and partly because he was using new tools to old ends, he was still very much in a wider and older tradition of Russian Reactionary thought, and that's usually how he's read today.

  889. The internal politics of Japan at the time were a dumpster fire and a half. In the internal infighting the Navy won and an invasion of Russia would have left them without much to do, also it was assumed, probably correctly, that the Americans would attack them sooner or later in order to support the Soviet Union. But exact motivations were disparate as people in the government were in a state of terror due to internal problems, with assassinations being common and carried out on the weakest of pretexts by fanatical junior officers. In many senses Japan acted it was that are not logical to Europeans, they would jump behind something with total unity irrespective of if it was a good idea and then octracize anyone who didn't seem committed enough before flipping to something else again as a group, leaving a shambles in their wake. Also they way they treated the White Russians was revolting, they would betray their Russia soldiers during the Soviet invasion, killing many of them before the Soviets could, they used White Russian women and children in the experiments of unit 741 and they systematically abused White Russian girls and women, turning them into you know what and sending them to serve as spies in China and to spread opium. Of course the Japanese didn't deserve the soviet type treatment they were subjugated to during American occupation, but there is a reason that Germany originally supported China.

The Chinese students do attend, but their English is poor and they keep to themselves, honestly though they are so much better than the English students, their influence has after years meant most of the girls (it's like 95% female and 2% creepy bloke in a miniskirt) are in trenchcoats rather that crop tops like they used to be (yes in this weather) and honestly not understanding the course will make you much more qualified then learning what they are teaching here.

  893. Unfortunately while the positive stereotypes are hilariously wrong the negative stereotypes are pretty spot on in my experience, cheating probably isn't a bigger problem than in Japan but commitment certainly is, and the dating market is toxic and not serious. Personally I feel that extremely conservative westerners and traditional Christians would probably find Japan a breath of fresh air but most others have already been got by the sexual revolution and social atomization and will find it to be a massive culture shock, not helped by the fact that they probably believe their way is the right way. That is not to say that Japan is socially right wing, just that they continue to value things (like family, consideration for the group and Christian compatible (some of them are certainly Confucian in origin but others likely cultural influence that made it's way in during the meiji period and became seen as tradition) ideas of moral decency) that only strong conservatives continue to appreciate as valuable in the west. Given house prices I'm surprised that there aren't already many more culturally out of touch westerners who feel more at home in a society which marginally better fits what they are comfortable with.

  894. I want a new Christendom run by King's under the Christian authority of the Emperor of Rome, so how things were until fairly recently in the west (it's hard to say when it ended, in some sense the Holy Roman Emperor lost power with the reformation, but it was abolished in the time of Napoleon, the King of Prussia had a fight with Bismarck over his feudal loyalties to the hapsbergs, and in the 1900's the Austrian Emperor used his ancient power to veto a candidate for pope), and in 1917 in the East. That means a militarist Christianity, one willing to act with force for the salvation of the faithful, and a social hierarchy steeped in responsibility and deep social bonds. The Christianity of the future must unify the disparate people's of the west, but be particular to them, not betraying its own people for a universalist vision. Something localised, but unified in a patriarchal hierarchy and with the ability to act as a single whole against the outside. In short I want a perfected version of the civilisation we were shaped within, a civilisation that fights against the natural sins of man while protecting itself from the enemies without. I am also an imperialist, but I don't see any worth in ruling other people's, the loyalty of the empire should be towards it's own, and only it's own. Basically I believe in a unified Christian monarchy (based in an aristocracy of responsibility rather than a managerial class that alienates themselves from it) by and for European people's exclusively though I suppose we could cut a deal with the east asians if they convert (we already tolerate the Slavs, Magyar and Finns, lol). But all lands outside of this are territory to be reclaimed in the name and by the power of God and resettled by our people. We must start with our homeland, and with the recreation of community, authority and justice before the eyes of God (namely a total intolerance towards evil, and thus liberalism).

  895. Always strange how Americans consider renouncing your treason against the crown to be treason, had the Americans been fighting against parliament they could rightfully have claimed loyalty to the higher authority of the King (who despite stereotypes had effectively been deposed back during the glorious revolution), and indeed the King is a higher authority, having religious authority, where as the whole power deriving from the people idea was directly made up by parliament in order to justify their supremacy over the King. This was part of a long standing struggle between nobles and kings, and also conformists and non-conformists. In short the American revolutionaries were fighting for the ideology of their oppressors, and could absolutely not claim a righteous cause. Those Americans who fought for the King were largely motivated by traditional religious understandings of hierarchy, even reformed groups like the Scottish Calvinists had hardened considerable on the point after the deep shock and horror at the regicide of Charles the First, this is why they would form a major component of those will to suffer immensely for the cause of Jacobitism, such suffering was very literally a type of martyrdom against people who were desecrating God's order. In the time since we have lost much of the meaning associated with oaths, but historically to violate them was to forsake your soul, in such a worldview the actions and reasoning of the American revolutionaries was no less radical and demonic than that of later French revolutionaries or of those of Lenin, Mao or Stalin (especially as it is the same family of ideology, liberalism influenced by Rousseau was the cause of the French revolutionaries and those later ones were merely further developments on in the same world view and moral system, thus when some Americans claim they are merely updating the constitution to the modern interpretation of liberal philosophy they aren't wrong even if their detractors are right that that is some form of radical socialism, to a certain extent the logic runs away with itself, but certainly when it came about liberalism was much more radical, most western states hold to the morality and have strong socialistic tendencies in government and economics, where as you can imagine the shock of a 17th century Christian at the idea of basing humanity off of proposed natural states when to men that state is sin, or that the inequality of God's order is evil, or that society is bad and people should have the morality of savages. By the 19th century people were quite used to such nonsense and believed rather a lot of it, but back at the beginning it was the birth of a religion beyond heresy and in straight up heathen territory, and then they started the atrocities, and never stopped. One good thing with the American revolutionaries was that they were rather less barbaric parliament had been in asserting their power, and would be less insane that future liberal states (for the most part) though only because of regular intervention by people with a conscience (the people who wanted a French style revolution during it did not get as they wished, nor did the plan to wipe out millions of Germans in the allied occupation zone after WW2 go through). Same counts for the civil war, it's rich to hear Americans talking of treason when they were born from it.

Everyone has separated earlobs apart from two of my siblings who have fused, we were all born with blonde hair but ended up a different colours at different speeds, despite this and a different mother in the case of my half-siblings we either look quite like my Grandfather or like a clone of him (to a rather unfortunate degree in the case of one of my sisters). Genetics can be a mixed bag, people have been talking about how Harry looks when smiling but my Grandfather raised the Bastard of his first wife (she literally abandoned the children in his new house when he was out at work including two very young ones (and all under five), unsurprisingly the judge ruled for him to have full custody) and you wouldn't be able to tell they aren't related in photos because they were all raised by him and his second wife (my grandmother) and picked up all their particularities of expression and temperament from them and thus in great part resemble them and each other (indeed I imagine it would be more easy to tell them apart on their passports as in the flesh the resemblances are uncanny even when there is quite some gap in pure physical appearance outside of the freakish part of the bloodline I'm in, which also happens to mean my side's dyslexia all the way down as a consolation prize).

  906. I don't know why everyone is going on about high quality education, pre-Attlee education was usually pretty good, a standard exported to the rest of the empire and which shows us up for fools whenever anyone with it comes to Britain today. Post-Attlee was again much better than today's for a while, especially if you got into a grammar school, the conprehensives however, which were after this lady's time, were not great and education has since seen a marks inflation a bit like currency and has degraded in quality considerably the role in social mobility has been abandoned, people have been priced out of areas with better schools and the focus has moved to inclusiveness (e.g. putting the least and most capable students in the same class) and equity (e.g. teaching them to the same results), to the older generation who's own education was iffy the modern student seems poorly educated to an almost surreal level, private schools are somewhat better but in my experience even the most reputable state schools are rubbish, which I imagine is going to have a social effect as most of the middle class who send their children to those state schools can't afford private these days and are finding their children are being taught nothing and at risk of ideological indoctrination, mental illness and the development of self-hatred, universities are increasingly awful as well. The lady in the video was probably just confused having been accosted by a weird man on the street who insisted of point a camera in her face, that said she won't have even learnt unit conversions because they won't have been needed in her generation.

  907. The Italians have heavy influence from the Lombards and other groups. The Romans that survived went east, to the remaining empire or were slowly erased in Germanic kingdoms. What followed was centuries of invasion by the Muslims and finally the subjugation of Romans within the Ottoman Empire, in the 19th century there were still millions who called themselves Roman, but a century ago the Muslims finally got round to murdering them all and those Anatolian communities were eradicated the same as with so many Armenians. In a political sense Rome was killed in 1456 by the Muslims and it's successors squabbled over it's legacy before they were wiped out by socialists and liberals, in an ethnic sense the Romans were subjected to genocide a century ago and the survivors were integrated into a liberal construct called the Greek identity. If Romans still exist there are a handful of them in islands not closely governed by Turk or Greek.

  908. They weren't, your timeline is wrong, the first nuke was before the Soviets and the confusion in the command structure helped their invasion considerably.

  909. Many of the people who buy into the legalisation advertising campaigns are young, and haven't spoken enough for once to their boomer elders. The number of family and friends who died of drugs will be very high for them, and so will be the number who developed the negative side effects such as mental disorders. Because we are young we are seeing people at their healthiest, it's downhill from here, and not one you can come back up. And yeah, the pharmaceutical and tobacco put a lot of money into campaigning for legalisation, the tobacco industry sees a potential shift to a new market and the pharmaceutical industry is already in the market, and yes both the legal and illegal sides of it, the opioid crisis in America is one of their making, and it was deliberate.

  910. A lot of ideas like industrial education and teaching to the test are widespread within education, but honestly they aren't very useful to reform, they are standards and it is very very clear within education that the teachers and academics want an end to them because they want to get rid of standards and expectations. They talk about teacher professionalism for example, but want it means is basically total autonomy and a demand for prestige without any standards being applied. Also the pedagogy of the oppressed is one of the key textbooks for teacher training. Honestly I think what we have now is not salvageable, we'll have to start again from the bottom. And at least until that point I will stress that home education is the only way to protect your children, things within education are a great deal worse than people think.

  916. I would contextualize this to WW2, a lot of other periods have much less contemporary histories, and those that exist may be written as a way of shaping the current narrative, or even more often aren't questioning highly dubious sources. Likewise the Victorians especially were fairly reliable about many obscure topics, especially those they had contact with, and that modern writers are bringing a very alien contemporary perspective to (for instance modern authors will often take a very black and white view of social structures and cultural attitudes in certain parts of the world, Victorians also did but their more reliable sources didn't twist reality to fit contemporary moral norms, they condemned what they didn't like rather than denying or omitting it). Likewise centuries of historical research have suffered under the negative effects of mass printing of leaflets, most past sources will have outright wrong information passed down from the propaganda of the past. Within the English language anything about Catholicism, or anti-liberal strains of Christian thought are especially subject to this and even effect many of the period sources from the opposite perspective, with contemporaries trying to excuse actions rather than knowing they are false or exaggerated. It also isn't uncommon for modern historians to simply not have the knowledge base to come to correct conclusions, coming as they do from a very different lineage of thought and cultural/social values. That said some revisionist historians are single handedly bucking that trend, and making breakthroughs in understanding, but this in in some topics more than others, and unfortunately opposition to old narratives outside of this group often amounts to throwing together old sources that break with wider narratives, the trouble is that these sources are often wrong, biased or insane. I am principally referring to late 19th and early 20th century esoterics, who are not any more reliable on history than anything else.

  923. The Irish, including Catholics, had a proud history of service in the British army (and a continuing one), more than earning their fine reputation as fighting men. Ironically many of the most prominent American Irish are of Ulster Irish background but have lost their roots. You are probably of actual Irish ancestry if Catholic but unless your families been in the Americas since the 17th century (like many Ulster Irish) it is almost certain that you have ancestors yourself who served under the King's colours. The one's who didn't (as in those in the long resistance of the British, rather than most of the population who like most it most times didn't care too deeply so long as they were left to themselves) left Ireland and ended up in Spanish or French colonies, if not those countries themselves.

  925.  @bramrhodesdouglas5861  I’m the child of a nasty divorce and I’d rather not get married than let any of my own children go through that. Also I don’t know about anyone else but the vast majority of women who will give me the time of day are pretty open in only being physically attracted and not being serious, there are also those who kind of remind me of the evil dandy's in old women's fiction in that they will literally say anything without a thought of doing it after they get what they want, I’ve also met a spider or two and those women are literally the scariest people I’ve ever met (luckily I didn’t flag up as a good catch). I come from a female line of gold diggers so I might be a little more aware than most people along with the clashing moral system.  I will likely either marry into a family I’m friends with or move to a country where things are more promising (which I will likely do anyway as I’m training to become a teacher and it’s made me very aware that the problems in education system weren’t just something I was imagining when I went through it, also living costs).

  926.  @skylinefever  That’s interesting, I know a family with ten children (a good part of my motivation to have so many as they are the nicest people you will ever meet) and the expectation is very much that they will have enough of their own to fill out sports teams. I think the oldest two probably won’t have as many but the younger ones certainly seem to think that a larger family is both normal and something to spend their live creating as a means to happiness. I have a feeling that they will ensure the matriarch of the family will never have to go long without a baby in her arm’s at least.

  927. These people usually were directly influenced by each others work. At this point most of them had similar ethnic background, but the liberal thinkers before them (so the enlightenment guys) were usually either lapsed Calvinists or theologically atheist/mystic mumbo jumbo, some funding always came from a certain group as they supported pluralism for obvious reasons (and have always seen bribery as a decent method of creating a favourable environment), but it's only once their own children started secularising and becoming liberal revolutionaries that any sort of firm network of finance was set up to promote it, and even then it was often a means of support by family unless revolution looked to actually be on the cards. Lenin got massive funding from them, but only in 1917, before that he mostly lived within the existing socialist network.

  931. As someone from the UK avoiding mass immigration and gay propaganda aimed at little children sounds like a paradise to me, their issue is not having enough children and it's one every deployed nation (and near every non-developed nation outside of Africa, in fact I believe the exception is Afghanistan and that's literally it) has the same problem but covers it up with massive immigration and a wilful refusal to admit that it's not a long term solution, especially when your social welfare programs are literally constructed like pyramid schemes. We have absolutely massive social issues, a declining economy and a situation where my generation will never get a house or a pension, the property prices alone are a source of hope for Japan, people just have to break out of the current paradigm, stop being miserable, move to the country, farm and raise large multi-generational families, I wish my country had options for improvement short of revolution. Personally I find the whole line go up mentality asinine, it is the type of logic that would lead to one selling their own mother, and in many western countries it has lead to the political elite selling out the country itself from underneath the feet of the population, it is not an answer to anything tangible however, only the creator of tangible problems. If Japan wants to solve its problems the way is more children, not more degenerate westerners or soulless hordes of urban economic nomads, the foreigners already within Japan are enough trouble. A short term economic boast is the same logic that lead to them encouraging women to enter the workforce and just like it it will backfire massively (wages go down in proportion to women in the workforce and make two incomes an economic necessity, thus lowering the freedom to have kids and making the whole situation a whole lot worse).

  933. No, the English rights and liberties are, rights and liberties given under the power of a monarch and degraded under the rule for democratic tyranny. How many of our 'liberal' rights have at this point been left to us by parliament, the liberal enshriner of these rights who's authority is predicated on guarding them. It is very clear that liberalism is as a political system the enemy of its own intentions and justifications. The English liberties are important, but as such they must be protected from the power of legislative bodies, if they are natural (and thus given by God) then the responsibly for protecting them must be in the hand of God's anointed servant set to rule over the people in his name, the King.

  934. Of course this sort of thing is very hypocritically from western states who sexualise children heavily. The BBC outright supports children being shown porn and told to masturbate in primary school here in Britain, also like other media institutions they have covered up child trafficking cases on mass, and have a history of being an organisation filled with predators. On top of this western states are mostly certainly heading towards a relaxation of the laws Japan just strengthened as part of the LGBT campaign, in certain places (like California) they have already done so. All that said, two wrongs don't make a right and pornography is massively damaging. Just ban it all. Ban the sex industry too while at it, these are innately predatory both at the organisational level and in their wider effect on society. Largely they just seem to exist as a shelter for the yakuza and something to make highly questionable actions and aspects of society technically fall within the law, or better yet be hidden from it. It might be beneficial to the state to entice all the cockroaches into one sack but it hardly means anything unless you can tie it up at the end and have a cricket bat to hand. Such a tactic without the end amounts to throwing a funeral shroud over the areas of national life lost to you, and it's not like rot will cease it's growth of its own accord.

  935. Cyrus wrote his own history through clever propaganda and leveraging local interests to insure loyalty to him and a positive interpretation of his actions, he also knew how to construct a good myth that would sell well with the people at the time and was a good judge of character. The Jewish depiction also influences all interpretations very heavily, and they called him a messiah for freeing them from bondage. His actions however seem to be pragmatic and cynical tempered by a strong personal moral belief system but not an overwhelming one, counter to the standard goody two shoes depiction (which no good king has ever been as such a character leads to more abuses not less). Saladin was favoured by Christian sources Muslims ones are a lot less focused on him except for the ones he commissioned, they also are less blinded by the whole chivalric foe ideal and far more willing to depict him as a opportunist warlord who spent more time fighting other Muslim warlords than anything and tended to view fighting the crusaders a source of legitimacy rather than and end in itself. He is also depicted as very fickle and as giving mercy and favours in so far as he could see them benefiting him or his image. He was lucky that the crusaders tended to write off his acts of cruelty as they tended to effect the unimportant and lower class doing so even in the cases where they were Christian. The modern habit of self guilt also popularised a caricature of the Christian depiction of him in which he's the second coming of Christ (so long as Christ has bizarrely modern principles and lives in a medieval period that little resembles our own).

The are also plenty of guys who are just there because it's cheap given their savings are in foreign currency, they typically learn the language however and know quite a bit about the culture (to put it mildly). Just saying cos I've bumped into a few from Turkey, usually they don't get involved with local women because they are far to the right of the red pill (often they crossover with the Anglo converts to Catholicism, it's own topic), so actually think the locals are too sexually liberal. I'm pretty sure like 80% of them are autistic as well.

They no doubt were, and it was probably seen as a pretty good way to wrap up an area of British interest which indeed the British could acquire oil from outside of the American sphere of influence. Certainly in this period destroying the British and French empires was of much higher priority than squabbling with the Soviets, when both had aligned interests in anti-colonialism and a similar socially liberal and spiritually materialist stance on the international order. They both preferred two big dogs to a dozen little ones.

  942. It was certainly a origin for the word but in terms of the meaning in use today it probably isn't an example, the British would repeat the practice in response to irregular conflict a number of times over the next 70 years or so and it proved a successful tactic in destroying the supply base of enemies engaging in those sorts of tactics. While concentrating people was already bad idea with the level of medicine at the time, poor accommodation and malnourishment is the exact recipe an endemic, being in Africa only makes things worse. I say probably because it is entirely possible that their were British commanders who recognised this and decided to put these ingredients together with the knowledge that the long term interests of the South African colony would be best served by the eradication of the Boers, of course wherever they did do such a thing is another matter, they would have had plausible deniability and such a mindset was fairly alien to most British of the period, certainly if they had it is odd that they didn't stop civilian discovery of the state of the camps and finish the job. Though the event was horrific it didn't really serve anything more than to provoke the permanent enmity of the boers towards the British and British authorities so it was certainly a lost bet if a bet was made. Occam's razor certainly suggests simple but devastating incompetence.

These sorts of speculations seem to come from people who either have never owned animals, or who have never taken responsibility for those they do, as the owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your animal is not dangerous, and to make it very apparent what behaviour is unacceptable immediately should that animal put others at risk.

  944. Found the retarded corner of the internet. Basic economic rule number one is that nothing is free, you have to pay in taxs or debt and given the wastage of most public services you are paying a premium for a service worse than most genuinely evil capitalists think they would be able to get away with, people often counter with the fact that these services exist at all but a look at how much money they take in should be compared to worth. Another point is that corporate government overlap is massive, corporations are run by bureaucrats, funded by public pension funds and given favourable legislation by government, we are literally a country with price controls and rules that exist only to pump prices at the cost of the wider population. For example if fuel tax was reduced that would lower the cost of transportation and as transportation is the main cost in food you could elevate the danger of food poverty, I'd say you could cut funding to all the highly suspicious charities (and totally not money laundering schemes) mps mates seem to run but to be fair basically everything needs to be cut or reformed, things are currently running like a ponzi scheme and just like one there is no way to make it run long term no matter how many new marks you import. All of this should be obvious, read basic economics by sowell or something because all you're doing is propping up a deeply corrupt ruling class.

  945. Goes the other way pretty heavily as well, a lot of Americans think that Japanese women all look like their entertainment stars and that they are traditional in a Christian sense, instead of being modern in a Japanese one. Such impressions are easy when you don't speak the language and have an idealised view. Though Japan is certainly functioning more as a society, it isn't in important ways like fertility and long term thinking, which are important. Likewise the country is in the same process of decline as most western nations. And while the house prices will attract many Americans with a homesteading tradition good luck convincing young Japanese women to stay out of the city and raise ten kids in substance farming. Ironically these types of Americans are the eligible ones, those steeped in their own culture are unlikely to take relationships seriously, and have a complete lack of any virtues, they are typically successful, at least the older generation, as they are the urban managerial class, so technically hold elite status even if that means less each passing day. But status sells a dream that toil does not, it just happens in this case to be a false one.

Didn't stop people from going of course but it wasn't all sun and roses. They also had a woman shortage (marriage with locals was banned) and unless you were a soldier then knowing local languages and having some profession was a basic requirement (e.g. the higher relative living standard was because you were a bureaucrat or owner of a company or suchlike, not merely because you were British).

  949. We should remember that Christianity is very masculine (God is the divine patriarch, Jesus the son, and church leadership is to be male) as such actively including women, especially representing the great ideal of motherhood is very important. Personally I'm also fairly orthodox theologically (Protestantism was I think a mistake, being the start of this future we live in in a lot of ways) but I think we should as western Christians retain the western rite.

  950. You seriously need to do more reading around the history of ideas. A lot of your points are a bit of a mess, spiritualism was tied into liberal politics and clerics were very prominent in science dominant in education, you have to understand these groups better, their name isn't an insult, they were often opposed to each other politically and they both were very influential, the clerics of the development of knowledge and the spiritualists on the development of ideology. The 2000's new atheist stuff doesn't really fit in well to a period when the Church played an important role in scientific developments and there were atheistic socialists who wanted to castrate poor people. Your perspective is pretty off as you are being overly uncritical of James Linsays perspective, and to be frank his whole express purpose is to play a rearguard action for liberalism, he doesn't really care about things which don't service his narrative, even if you take for granted what he says as true, it doesn't accommodate any of the nuance outside of his purpose. What you are doing isn't too different from interpreting everything through the eyes of Marx's and missing the rest.

Ironically America and Europe are heading in a poor direction politically and demographically meaning that Russia could be favour by a waiting game.... if only Russia wasn't in an even worse state on those issues than the west. For both Russia and China their futures hinge on whether they can turn the birth rates around. Western values other than low corruption are not worth the price of adoption especially as most are unproven. Western economic structure is a house of cards and when taken with other issues might be even worse than Oligarchs. The US is strong so long as it doesn't self sabotage like the USSR did but Europe is pretty screwed and shows no intent to change that.

  957. Historically gays weren't punished with violence (usually repentance) unless they forced themselves on others or children in which case they were burnt as abomination. A sin is the natural inclination towards evil, despite the fact that left wing thought doesn't acknowledge it as originating in humans (but rather though society) you are a human and can probably attest to being tempted into negative actions by your own inclinations, Christianity is a religion focused on struggling with the negative aspects of yourself and living harmoniously in a community of social and relational bonds, it is interested in directing the nature of humans in a positive and constructive direction while acknowledging our innate flaws. Of course remaining loyal within intimate relationships and creating and providing for future generations is a big part of that. Though you will find that most modern Christains and churches don't even have the basics down so if they are being overly aggressive it is likely to make up for not being able to actualize and of the generative philosophies of the religion and just scapegoating on people who aren't even members of their community. Unless it's an Amish criticising you just tell them to take the log out of their own eye first.

  963. Not really, North Africans are also white, the social construct is largely the borders we put it at (in west it continues to be the borders of historical Christendom, but the reality is that common ancestry stretches to Pakistan and includes high caste Indians (the caste system is rooted in a racial one set up by invaders a bit like in the early Muslim empire), Persians for example are much less arabised, but even the arabs are deeply interrelated, hell most jews are different due to a population bottleneck in medieval times rather than different ancestry, the massive split comes when comparing Turkic people and the like), we are very genetically different, and not acknowledging that would be a nightmare for doctors as it goes deeper than the skin and leads to different potency of disease, likelihood of illness and reactions to medication. The amount of slaves from South of the Sahara during Roman time was very limited, most slaves were greek, celt, or Germanic, also the period ended with large scale Germanic migrations. She was North African 16 generations back, which kind of makes it clear how desperate they are to link royals to this sort of nonsense, in all likelihood she was just born with a darker tone of skin, if it was from ancestry then they should probably have been looking towards possible flings with the gardener rather than ancestry so far back as to be very very minimal on the wider genetic level.

The Soviets had also committed many massacres and rounding up of Cossacks, their entire leadership class had been liquidated, as had a good proportion of the entire population, they also got special attention in the artificial famines, and their unique culture, dialects and social structures were each systematically obliterated. No surprise that those in the Cossack revival tend to be Monarchists, Ultra-Orthodox and White supporters (a matter of some controversy in Russia to this day, as many supported the Germans during the war), they also have high birthrates, have been used as a paramilitary by the government and have extensive government interest in directing them towards patriotic education and policing and away from Royalist coups, self-directed political and ethnic violence and self declared crusades. An interesting group over all, though a very small one (there were 5 million in 1914, there are a few hundred thousand today, and far less who live like it) and with debatable continuity to the past.

Most colonial endeavours (especially in Africa) only lost money and however if you could culturally assimilate or set up client relationships with local elites and groups then things became a lot easier. Prior to world war one many European states were effectively empires within europe and without ww1 the French would have had one political crisis or another and Switzerland would have ended up as the only mainland European democracy to not be a literal citystate again. What I'm saying is that the end of imperialism was in no way inevitable and that we will likely see it again, it is also entirely possible to successfully hold down foreign lands indefinitely so long as you don't grow weak and they don't pick up on political ideals that actively work against that, even then none of it's inevitable, all you'd need is one intransigent loyalist holding the reins of power to see the place though the storm, Austria was saved twice in a row by such men and the democratic principles of the British were a large part of why they always left their land to fools rather than the people who made it quite clear that they would be a Bismarck if given the opportunity.

  968. I notice that all the praise of this guy is coming for the westerner Ukraine supporters, supporting a traitor makes it clear the level of honour you have, this is why Ukrainians themselves don't throw themselves infront of this guy, Ukraine has had plenty of traitors of their own, treason, especially that which directly harms those you have responsibilities towards, is below contempt, Ukrainians know this, these westerners are only showing that they are men without honour or decency. They cheer this on like a football game, this is real, those who die have mothers and father's, wives and children. In war people die, but to be stabbed in the back is betrayal and no one should have the slightest piece of sympathy for those who do such things. Also it is most likely he himself killed the other crew, they weren't incapable of knowing geography, he likely wouldn't have even made it to Ukraine if they were alive, the story of the attempted escape is as old as time, and was likely meant to make him slightly less despicable when reporting the story in the press.

  971. Things have become pretty dysfunctional as the focus hasn't been on social relationships or even trying to be a decent person but material gain, many people were brought up with little guidance and have trouble bringing their own children up in a decent manner. Unfortunately it is simply the case that sometimes you have to cut people off, you can't pretend that things are fine if someone makes no effort to change and takes their family for granted, though I wouldn't cut them off unless they were morally indefensible. Unfortunately society as it is really doesn't help, people are given a malformed set of values and told that arrogance and disregard for others is good. I don't lament families not getting along, I've seen too many cases where it's justified, but I agree that the fact that things have reached that point for so many is a sad thing.

  974. Courting is facilitated and supervised by families, individual men and women have proven themselves to have rather bad judgement in partners. Ultimately the economic situation demands going back to raising your kids with your parents help and looking after them in old age. Households must once again we large and communities must be proactive in moral policing and gatekeeping. The shift in norms must be explicitly Christian, and give plenty of room for the natural prestige games of women. To be frank women are not men, they are components of society, their individual agency is voluntarily limited within wider social norms and trends. What men want is purpose, what women want is place, if you want women to make the first move get used to waiting.

  975. I believe you are correct, Japan has a serious need for small business, funneling everything into big business is one of the major problems. A wife running home business while raising children (within the wider family and community setting) if what the bible urges women to do, the ideal of the inactive housewife (though until the invention of the tv and cleaning appliances they were often anything but inactive) very much comes from aspiring to the nobility of the 19th century (who again were seldom inactive but were often perceived as such, especially within idealisations of lifestyle) with the increasing wealth of the population. Humans have a long history of surviving as a species and thus there are not shortage of lessons which have had to have been forgotten for us to get to this stage.

  976. Native Japanese have been attesting recently that the idea that they aren't taught about it is largely the western media taking things and running with them. They note that of the denalist textbooks only about 3% of schools (usually private schools with a right wing mission statement) have them and that atrocities do tend to get covered but is not overly focused upon and the majority of students just memorize it for tests then forget afterwards like most other topics so perception of it is limited.

  978. You need underpinning beliefs in something, I don't believe isn't a good foundation and makes it easy for other belief systems to move in, all the need to win over the atheist stance is to deconstruct the assumption of logic, in other words post-modernism bypasses atheist assumptions on the way to instituting communism. Even without that atheism is a negative system, it unmoors the moral system from it's foundational logic and allows it to drift wherever it will. Basically it creates a power vacuum and then is upset when someone fills it and kicks them to the curb. It is unsurprising that ideologies absolutely dominate in atheist systems, because they are just religions without God.

  979. It generally describes people's whom engaged in routine savagery. It was common across the major civilisations of Eurasia to term people such with reasons varying from watering down wine to ritual child sacrifice, as such while it said as much about the morals of the society using it as that it was used against it certainly had utility as a word. Today it is less useful but only so long as a the stripping away of the term doesn't lead to misguided romantication, white washing or ignorance of the specific reasons for the label being applied on the specific culture or people in the first place. Too often it turns into indirect apologism or denialism of the sort of actions covered in this video.

  980. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that people should watch an old anime called Shiki, I'm seeing a lot of people in the comments who seem to think paradigms don't shift much. That is not part of human psychology, changes easily happen in an exponential manner, a paradigm shift is radical, so long as power shifts then with that shift will come a totally different stance towards these things. Read here was like reading French liberals who thought that the King would oversee the revolution prior to it. If the current order loses power then we will not be thinking about things within the perview of their system, if they don't lose power then nothing with change at all.

  981. You are not taking into account their actual behaviour in society, it is very clear why very few societies are very accepting and why Christian ones in particular are outright hostile. It's basically have your cake and eat it too but it's also very normal for people to shape their norms to the status quo, though it does make the lack of principles very apparent. Before the Soviet Union fell conservatives in Russia were talking about a transition away from the negative parts of communism while keeping the rest, after it they were talking about bringing the Tsar back, people try to sense the air and pick their hill to die on, if you question certain things people stop listening as they have certain limits to what they are willing to contemplate.

Certainly I have noticed that it is very normalised for women to drink a bottle of wine by themselves in the evening, meanwhile male pub culture has seen a decades long decline having been a very pervasive social activity right back into the middle ages, the young idiot demographic has almost entirely moved over to drugs though some also mix it with alcohol and then presumably go driving near a school zone.

And America patronises both as helpful groups to destabilise potential rivals. Japan's economy was wrecked by America after they did too well, they seem to be a rival now because they aren't doing badly enough.

Nothing ever used to be open on Sundays, the funeral of the monarchy had the whole population in mourning dress (black everything, frock coats which were more formal than suits for men and veils and actual dresses for women) there were black drapes up people's windows and the whole mourning period was observed (that being the official one rather than the much longer one for members of your own family/spouses/children) as a result and given the emphasis on propriety it was probably a much more sullen affair (also republican would have been taking their lives into their hands to be disrespectful, even in Ireland).

  992. Other than the fact that this was very obviously read from a script written by someone else, this is just the reason Russia can't afford to lose the war, and as they are showing they don't intend to. This happening is reliant of the Ukrainians exceeding current capabilities on multiple fronts, it is probably early yet to speculate on such low odds, especially as it will largely rely on a refusal to move over to a merit system in the military on the Russian side. The Ukrainians are in the position of having to retake heavily fortified territory and the Russians of bleeding them for it, the casualties are likely to be asymmetrical and the Russians can fill out the ranks with the poor, sick, elderly and foreign for quite a while before having to draw on productive or politically relevant segments of the population. As such this is pie in the sky as things internationally will not remain static over the years of war we have to look forward to. All this is is the reasoning of why both sides will not back down over the years to come.

The right person will never come, the emotion of love might tell you that they have but in actual fact they are not perfect or completely compatible (and the emotion dissipates with time), the important part of the relationship is working together to fix the flaws you find in each other or at least come to terms with them. Long relationship are born out of effort not idealism or fate.

Filtered from reality, that is a matter of perspective but I believe a vision of that reality was presented and that was what I was responding to. I don’t see how any of that is a counter however to my stance that such a situation and it’s direction is grim. It’s a moral argument and for context I’m not a determinist so saying that something ‘is’ to me has no moral bearing on what it should be, if anything saying that something is outdated just proves that there are and have been working alternatives to what is now and where we can head in our future. New is not better, new is comparative.

  996. The government welfare and pension system are basically a pyramid scheme and the population decline is less like a decline than a collapse (if you halve every generation then in 4 generations 10 people become 0.625, has that given perspective), these taken together are why people are so fatalistic. Though in truth the math works both way, increase birth rate the opposite way and the population rise is very fast, but of course to do this pensions, welfare and most government spending as well as many modern sacred cows would have to be sacrificed, or you can go with the western plan of just funneling foreign young into the drain to keep things going and ignore the long term viability and suffering of those involved.

  997. Orwell worked for the government during and post war, it is very likely that 1984 is a reference to 1948 and the atlee government, with the whole ideology of the British state shifting from being imperial to a protectorate of the US. He was involved both in cleaning Stalin's image during the war and demonizing him once it ended, he was a socialist but at the same time seems to have hated the hypocrisy, personal immorality and borderline treasonous sympathies of many of his fellow British leftists and intellectuals. He also worked under James Burnham, so could be said to have learnt where things were heading from the devil himself, a bit like a brave new world's author having a very good knowledge of what prominent socialists were interested in due to his brother being prominent among them while not being a believer himself, or at least not that their utopia would end up as anything different than what he described.

  998. Sounds like they are just being friendly, unsurprisingly young guys on a history course will assume anyone on it will have shared interests and talking about it is what they do with each other. I know some of them can be a bit weird, but they are young and have limited interaction with women, especially two faced ones. People are right to call you out, mansplaning is not really a thing, the solution to someone talking about something you already know is to talk back to them about it, generally professionals in any field will do it as there is a safe bet that the vast majority of people don't know, they likely even have a set way of explaining it to make it easier to understand. If you don't know and just don't want to listen then just say so, unless mansplaining is no actual problem to a future relationship with that person there is no reason to hold back and humour people who annoy you to that extent. Realistically men don't shift their personalities all that much, if you find him a bore now it will likely only get worse as he gathers greater degrees of information with age. I have to wonder what you are in a history degree for when you don't like talking about it, all that said it's generally rude to talk about someone behind their backs, confrontation is typically how males deal with disagreements, they will be considerably more upset if they catch on to the things you have been saying behind their backs, it is fine however if you make yourself clear directly. You might consider this itself mansplaining, but I wrote this under the assumption you were stupid rather than malicious.

If I recall it was something along the lines of medieval alchemist books warning not to mix those ingredients as the results could be volatile. Pretty such there was some monk who is meant to have done some sort of experiments with it as well. But as said before introduction from China it seems like the secret recipe everyone would have been interested in was Greek fire as that had a proven track record as a weapon of war and didn't have a tendency of blowing your limbs off as payment for curiosity.

  1004.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  I've read a good deal on civil wars, notably this one always makes me think of the Indian Mutiny, the core difference really is the Cowpor massacre, before that and some time afterwards an overly retained policy was taken by the establishment and in both cases did not help the situation (in the latter the considerable distrust and resentment it would foster in the British colonial population would contribute to independence). It is unfortunate but people tend to back the winning horse and the most effectively brutal side tends to dominate, this was very much the case in the Russian civil war, the soviets had a brilliance to their utter evil, they organised the organs of violence exactly and heartlessly to their intentions. The British use of cavalry in this conflict is odd, they should have seen from the seven years war that a 'small war' of raids and plunder could even make up for a lack of formal military advantage (and so long as you can store it will lessen the strain on supplies), the Austrians had displayed this throughout (hussars even captured berlin). There is a possibility that they didn't have the expertise, and of course British doctrine towards civilian noncompliance was a long way off, I guess it's easy to look at in hindsight and with broader knowledge, especially as the type of populations useful for such tasks had largely been deliberately displaced long before (namely the Scottish borderers) and they never would have thought to have used them like Cossacks or Granzs nor to have engaged in resettlement programs in the middle of war. If John Nicholson had been there (only 50 years or so before birth) the whole thing wouldn't have lasted, but like many of these conflicts there was complacency and duel loyalties throughout the political leadership, some things never change, or in our case have only got worse.

  1010. Historically not quite, the colonists were often Irish, the leaders Scottish and the traders Welsh but once they were abroad they were British. For the Scots this was very much the case as they (and the anglo-irish nobility and Ulster Scots) made the empire their own to a far greater degree than even the English and the term British neatly covered up this fact and indeed the fact that while the Empire was a boon for the North and Scotland it was largely paid for by the wealth of southern england, large parts of the empire always cost money and that money often indirectly ended up in regions which provided necessary skills, resources and manufactured goods and so kept such places ticking. The Irish upon arrival in the colonies often overwent the most profound charge, with the evolution in identity changing core loyalties, it wasn't uncommon for a rabid Irish nationalist to end up a diehard British Imperialist after a few years in even a fairly secure colony like Canada or Australia, in India and South Africa you can imagine how extreme it could end up. English themselves were still very prominent but less so than their numerical superiority would suggest, they were also more than happy to take on the bonds of group loyalty with the other nationalities, and certainly when you are in China or Ceylon a Scotsman will practically feel like your cousin.

  1012. Both are good, but if you don't have the face you might as well go with the body. Other than that develop your personality and dress well. I recommend going to church and building up positive habits like politeness and humility, gain competence and then confidence in the things you care about and put yourself out there in the local community, even if they are mostly older they'll know the type of girls who feel like you do about the modern dating scene and if they like you they'll give to a support network in helping things work out, the pre-boomer generation is full of lovely people and those nice enough to actually bother with them tend to be as well.

It was only named that a near century later and the name implies intentions the rebels likely never thought of let alone had, the vast majority of Indians also supported the British which would mean most modern Indians are descendented from people on the wrong side of a struggle for national independence. The reality it that it was a mutiny which sparked off a wider rebellion and was then crushed by loyal Indian troops, the British and a variety of quickly raised counter forces like the Sikhs and Afghanis. The only one able to turn it into a national movement was the mugal emperor and he in way in large part sympathetic to the British and only went along due to the involvement of his sons.

  1020. Fair point, but the same applies on the other side, you can and will see believers change the framing of what is considered proof to argue the strongest atheist points, the issue is that the whole argument is actually being controlled by the interpretation of its bounds on both sides. For example both atheists and Christians with use concepts of truth and logic to argue things as they both believe in them, post-modernists will just claim it is subjective and bypass much the foundations of the debate, you see the same with Christians and atheists constantly rubbishing each other based on their own interpretation of objective morality. The debates are often meaningless as they don't touch on the points of diversion but the manifestation of them.

One thing I've thought about since the last video is that it was assumed that the Northern people's were descended from one of Noah's Sons and that the Lord of Host's was argued to have originally been a storm God, thus it is conceivable (especially given what they thought about the origins of a different people) that but applying their weird spiritual genealogy in light of both they thought that Odin was a corruption of the Christian God, or visa versa. Thus leading to the confusing and contradictory statements on the matter.

  1025. The fact that you haven't achieved your aims doesn't mean that things aren't moving in that direction. Indeed clearly at the cost of and with the opposition of the majority, as it ends up minority control of the institutions which enact policy is a lot more powerful than winning the polity making positions through democratic means (especially given that elected officials rarely represent their constituency but rather their funders and party). Deliberate efforts are then obfuscated by a nonsense belief in an inevitable direction of history, so far all this has been is an entrenchment and post-hoc justification of things the population didn't want and didn't choose but were instituted by power alone.

  1034.  @LuisAldamiz  During the Basque trials in which Zugarramurdi came up about 11 people died out of 7000 investigated all during the first half as the later investigations where the zugarramurdi claims and others came up were canned and the suspects released before it went to trial (with only 6 not having recanted and thus in danger of death). Pierr De Lancre was a civil witch hunter tasked by the king of France, he was also a naive man with a tendency to believe any accusations and was deeply judgemental against the people he tried (believing that all basques were morally corrupted and that dance was a factor) despite this he is thought to have killed dozens not thousands (though as the court records went missing during the french revolution, likely destroyed, we don’t know exact numbers or circumstances). His notoriety mostly stems from the books he wrote on the subject at the time which fit with the general mania of the witch hunts and spurred on further hysteria.

  1037. The traditional way is to live in an extended family and in return for having help with childcare looking after your parents in old age. Personally I think the birth crisis is as much to do with values and material expectations as wealth as people in the past were almost unfathomably poor while still having very large families. A focus on relational bonds would probably be of great aid as would romantic movements or religious revivals like happened in Victorian times, paying people to have kids hasn't really worked so far though taking away the costs of having them (e.g. things like state education fees) is wise and things might end up differently if instituted in Japan due to the different social and cultural circumstances.

Also translating any of the middle eastern stuff requires funding and someone mad enough to go to Syria, Iraq and Iran for the sake of finding some old books. Our way of getting round the problem is just to read British stuff about killing such swordsman. The British also have a lot of the stuff on talwars and other sword styles they had experience with. It also doesn't that it's a minority interest within a fairly small community, as far as I know there is far more interest about shashkas and you can see what that's achieved outside of the Russian and Georgian language, like one half decent reproduction and a couple of youtube videos. Likewise the Scottish basket hilt has huge amounts of interest but the product of it is very disproportionate in how limited it is. Of course the work people put in will only build things up so the situation will likely improve with time.

One of the reasons that Manchuria was such a pushover of the Soviets (and yes if the Japanese had carried out the plans they had for use upon a Soviet invasion if would have been a much much worse campaign or them) was because the high command was paralysed with rumours of surrender by the emperor and coups in the making even before the whole thing went official (and a coup fell flat on it's face). The Soviets really invaded at the best time as the Japanese were engaged in internal chaos.

Yes, many of these classes were themselves ethnic in origin, in a sense this is even taken into right to rule, almost all British nobility claim Norman ancestry, most have more recent (by that I mean medieval or early modern, most of the actual new ones have clear family trees so aren't able to make it up as much, that said the merchant family I was talking about claimed to have broken into Charles the First's prison and been personally conferred nobility for offering to break him out, supposedly the evidence was eaten by mice and the family were whig Methodists who were burnt in effigy for supporting the America revolution, the likelihood is faintly ridiculous in other words, there actual place in the imperial hierarchy was based on being a very prominent business family in the colonies). The loyalties were also religious, non-conformists, Catholics and Anglicans all have very different political and social sympathies. On top of this personal characteristics passed down through family lines, certainly liberteanism can be traced through family trees very easily, those who acted a certain way it one generation were often related to those who did so in another. In other words nations and countries are complicated things, they aren't run on a single software but off a confluence of groups, people's and idea's. This is why liberal reform in Russia never went the same as it did in England and never went how it was meant to at all. Personally one of the things I heavily dislike about the revival of late 19th century and early 20th century progressives is that racial science is very largely bunk, quite apart from the degree of relevance they very often are talking utter nonsense when trying to define these groups. It's like astrology for men.

  1049. Most Japanese schools do teach it, contrary to western media reports. It just isn't heavily focused on and is memorized then discarded after the tests are done by most students like with a lot of topics. That then means that public perception is low, iconicly the far right going off about it raises that and given the proof probably isn't in their favour but they are far rarer beasts than click bait articles from people who source from their own rectum (or worse Twitter) would have one believe. That said finding nut jobs to interview is still easy as ever and I've seen some worse interviews of Japanese vets (one with a chap who laughed about what he did while describing it comes to mind).

  1050. Because most people have little connection to either side, and very often it is a toss up between which they hate more. One side is a horde invading their countries and the other are the same group who is prominent within the elite funding and facilitating it. The suggestion to export all the Palestinians to Europe didn't win Israel any favours at all, the fact is neither side are friends (even if some people are fairly irrational about the level of coordination within the diaspora of a certain group, they are not a hivemind, they just have extreme in-group loyalty, factionlism is rife), it's a matter of who the greater enemy is (which to be honest is probably a fair schizophrenia test, one group of elusive traitors among a wider culture of treason within the elite class or people acting as an invasive force right in front of you).

  1052. Contraceptives means that people only have a higher fertility rate with higher sexual contact if stupid (literally, the sub-80 iq people are typically the only ones who have above replacement as they can't work out how to use contraceptives properly and are too lazy to do anything once they are pregnant, also children are less of a bother if you just don't look after them), the higher rates of sex does lead to more pregnancies outside of marriage (because contraceptives don't work 100%) but this is then want abortion is used for. The higher rates of sex only matter among the people who want children (as in are trying for them, most people who won't have children do want them but will never get round to it) or if contraceptives or abortion are banned (and well, contraceptives lead to a sickening social context and abortion is baby murder). Our options are encourage people to marry young (probably through a traditional religion) or force the circumstances into a state where they have to (which would basically turn this whole thing around tomorrow but would have to be enforced). Frankly we might as well do both.

  1057. It should be mentioned that many of those sent to Stalin were civilians. While those who fought with the Germans were undoubtedly as guilty of war crimes as many German soldiers, those who fought during the civil war are a harder case as Soviet sources aren't much better than none considered they were almost always written with the aim of distorting the truth or creating a false narrative. It was likely much more than 80,000 and these included Russians in the US army and the wives and daughters of Russians born after the civil war. Many committed suicide and the British accounts state machine gun fire and mass gang r*pes (by the Soviets) during handover. It would be interesting to see if any handed over are still alive as one gets the impression that they didn't even make it to the gulags. It's difficult to say exactly what happened as the files are still classified by all involved.

  1058. They are Mediterranean or South European. Western Europe is sometimes considered more broadly, but usually it means Scandinavia, German, France, the UK and states in the middle when people.remember they exist. Switzerland is probably both western and northern European, but Spain exists in the same plane of existence to most northern Europeans as Greece or Cyprus, they are hot, by the sea and the economy is bad.
    3
  1059. It should be noted that northern Spanish and much of the Spanish nobility are predominantly Germanic in origin and thus don't look all that different to other Germanic people's, you'd have to do a dna test and even that would be of constrained worth as they go by distinguishing genetics, it is for instant very difficult to tell were an Englishman got his Latin, Celtic and Germanic/Scandinavian genetics from because that is the essential mix of all the people's surrounding him across his history, he could be essentially Norman with Breton influence or a Scot descended from a clan founded by a knight from Flanders, or he could just be from Cornwall, and yet have near exactly the same mixture on the test.

I am launching a nuclear/fusion reactor/solar powered hovercraft the size of South Sudan, it's going to be nigh on indestructible but people are going to have trouble thinking up a use for it other than annoying the ships which have to change course to accommodate it.

  1061. More insights into the White movement would be excellent, as they were incredibly complicated and divided internally. On top of political radicalism there was plenty of corruption and stupidity and it was sometimes hard to tell which was which. Certainly right from the war those in the logistical and service corps seem to have both been politically active leftists and deeply corrupt, and this continued all the way up to Wrangel, who finally dealt with with the deep incompetence of areas other than the combat forces themselves. But by then it was far too late. Also it's hilarious that he fixed it by putting aristocrats in charge, who he correctly judged were too proud for daylight robbery.

  1062. Japan is unfortunately on a similar trajectory to us, just a few decades behind. The damage done by western influence is irreparable but they largely don't recognise it as previous influence had been overwhelmingly positive.

  1063. I'm currently studying to become a teacher. It should be noted that even with all that's going on most practicing teachers are only partaking in the ideology as default. The academics of education feel themselves to be at considerable odds with them over this and have getting everyone in line with 'praxis' as one of there for most goals. An example; teachers aren't stupid and can see differences in different students, as such they will refer to children being more capable, having difficulties, etc. The academics hate this and see it as a bad thing. Teachers are meant to understand that children are not different, society creates differences for them. Yes, in their mind someone with ASD doesn't have a condition but is rather created by marginalization and the blocking of access to the 'fair' amount of resources. This leads to considerably tensions as the academics view any failure by teachers meet their ideals as the fault of the teachers (unless the teachers are saved by it being blamed on evil neo-liberal policy makers) rather than the failure of their ideals to stand up in the reality outside of their heads. Oh, yeah and there are a lot more child predators throughout the history of the development of educational theory than are ever covered here. After looking into some of the schools which were essentially 'model schools' for progressive pedagogical ideas I'd say that a nation wide inquest into historical abuse at schools in the UK would turn up abuse on a scale that would blow even Rotherham out of the water.

As human trafficking, underage grooming and police corruption aren't just major problems, they are commonplace ones. Plus you'd get your car firebombed within at week. Your Japan videos are really cheerful in that a discussion can happen in the first place. The experts you bring on are also sane (and have something of value to add), which is abnormal in western countries media. And there doesn't seem to be a pervasive fear around talking about things. Also no redefinition of terms to try and twist what the problem is. The widescale apathy to the issues is the same though.

  1071. There are a lot of different factors, notably command, tactical doctrine and the specifics of the situation. It doesn't matter on the tank, if one side is inept in using them the other side is likely at an advantage. Such was the case in many of the conflicts in which Russian armour has suffered, the current war in far more representative of capabilities even with drones and other unplanned for factors for the design than the many wars in the middle east in which they just get blown up by planes or drive into a kill zone. Such brilliant tactics, even with the most advanced and sophisticated designs, will see heavy attrition.

  1078. This comments are making the mistake of thinking that what women think matters, it doesn't, they react to their surroundings, not to logic or incentives. They present themselves in relation to wider social norms and expectations. You are treating a herd of sheep like an impassable mountain. You don't need to conquer them, you just need to move them to a different setting and listen to them bleat a different tune. What they think or say is largely irrelevant, it's about as deeply held as the clothes they wear (as it serves much the same purpose). Their sins are the thing that runs far, but for that redemption may be offered should that admit to it as sin.

  1079. Tribalism, the libertarian right were also more extreme on this and they basically only care about freedom and don't share anything beyond that with conservatives, with them largely being on the right due to hating the left more at the moment as they are the dominant group and also worshiping the American founding fathers to an extent which probably causes discomfort to Christians.

  1087.  @daniels_0399  The Russians did produce single action versions of the nagant for NCO’s and the like and they made enough of them that no doubt quite a number ended up with artillerymen and other troops in backline roles (who tended to be low down the the list for the issuing or updating of new weapons and thus ending up with bit and pieces from all over the place), however with the total number of soldiers being vast and the supply situation eclectic at best it was proportionately probably unremarkable.

Plus the clan system would make them as troublesome to run as the highlands and religious issues would lead either to internal or external problems depending on the response to the demands of the Roman church.

  1107.  @lambofdog2584  There is something called just war theory and thats basically the outline of the traditional catholic interpretation of it, likewise the church has a long history of support for the death penalty. To quote the sprit of the thing “He who is not angry, whereas he has cause to be, sins. For unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices, it fosters negligence, and incites not only the wicked but the good to do wrong”-John Chrysostom. Ultimately people have a nasty habit of interpreting the bible or selective parts of it to suit their perspective be that personal or denominational, and I’m not a theologian so most of those arguments go right over my head. I therefore base my view on historical precedence even if the fact that that will favour the Catholics and Orthodox would probably cause Protestants to bust a blood vessel. Which is an easy choice considering what most modern protestant churches are like (including my own, the church of england), helps that history is my topic anyway and that as someone not brought up in the church my logic is utterly secular. I won’t quote bits of bible as I’ll probably just misinterpret them and there are plenty better interpretations already from far wiser men who thought about it a good deal more, and who’s interpretations seem to lead to godly and moral results at the very least.

  1110. Typical Home Office claiming they fear anti-immigration sentiment....meanwhile right wingers are seething about their perceived mistreatment of fellow citizens (the fact is that the right wing in the UK is pretty outspoken in the opinion that the Hong Kongers were British to start with), British servicemen of foreign nationality and military interpreters (which came to the fore for a while again recently thanks to Afghanistan but has been a campaign for decades at this point). The claim of anti-immigration sentiment thus smells like bull, there is a good deal of anti-immigration sentiment in Britain however very little of it is tied to people viewed to have a shared cultural history or could more cynically be viewed as being intrinsically linked to right wing revanchist sympathies. The home office also have a history of attempting to subvert criticism by claiming the the right wing were somehow involved in really stupid or immoral internal decision making, the fact that such decisions tend to only ever make the home office's life easier (like deporting the mothers of British children) and their opposition to the right wing follows the same line (them not deporting criminals who've had their citizenship revoked is probably less about human rights for example than it is about said criminals access to legal aid and idiotic humanitarian organisations to draw out the out or increase the costs of the whole process, so mothers and the like are much softer targets for farming numbers for their reports to the government), it doesn't help that they are only accountable to considerable public anger and even then hardly.

One is not the dogma of the other but yeah the two tend to be intimately connected as life is hard and without wider purpose it is very easy to repurpose atheist logic into nihilism or to fall into it.

  1118. You can read the church fathers and men like Saint Augustine and Thomas Aquinas and see if you spot that, the church for sure had plenty of corrupt priests in their time, like any human organisation, but those people tended to go after the political positions rather than renounce worldly possessions and become a theologian in a monastery somewhere. As said loads of what the church did was unprecedented and didn't and doesn't make sense from a secular point of view, but the results are very deeply built into the society that Christendom became and that we live in, what we are learning now is that without those foundations many of the things westerners value start to drift away as the justification not only no longer exists but isn't even understood.

  1122.  @signorasforza354  The soviet union wanted to spread world communism, they started with the former imperial territories, however the old Russian imperial and territorial ambitions didn't really return until Stalin and even then it was not in the same framework or under the same assumptions, which is what made the break up a relatively simple affair, there were already regional elites. The old imperial regional nobility were much more attached to the centre of power than the soviet elite class, even if they were more self-interested than nationalist. The early soviets hated the Russians, it is not a matter of nation perspectives even if nationalists from all countries involved like to construct narratives that depict it that way. Russian nationalists might be even worse with this as it simply isn't accurate to the motivations involved and they end up praising people who destroyed every element of the core society and culture that they could.

  1127. It was in fact highly efficient. Those planes were outdated, they couldn't stand up in a conventional fight. They didn't have many veterans nor the time to train new ones, but to use them training people for this. The cost of conventional bombing runs on ships was in fact higher, they had more crew and would get chewed up aiming the bombs. This tactic allowed for the use of byplanes and the maximization of very limited resources. The only resource plentiful was motivated young men, and that itself would soon be stretched because of famine. Better to expend them this way than in the food situation developing. It was somewhat heartless but these considerations were all thought about by military leadership. These men were largely willing, the country was being firebombed, their casualties were insignificant compared to civilian ones, and they were hopeful that their sacrifice would disrupt the Americans. Had the war continued according to military plans then this would have been as mere taste of the attritional war to come.

But said people probably would not have liked being associated with people far to there south just because of a similar hue of skin any more than a Roman would have liked being called a Gaul for having red hair. Another thing in remember is that the average egyptian was a farmer who spent the whole day under the sun, peasants throughout history were very tanned and equally the upper classes were often overly pale to differentiate themselves. Likewise court and royal guard positions would include many foreigners and trusted minorities to show the stretch of the kingdom and because foreign elements especially unwelcome one’s would have less to gain though plots or treachery and a harder time navigating the political complexities of intrenched clan and family loyalty towards their own end’s.

  1136. A few things here, you talking about justifications should probably read the book Cossacks by Shane, the famine was only one amount many attempts at genocide. They were given peace deals during the civil war and then the reds would wipe out 10'000's before they could take up arms again. The reds hated them because they could take up arms at all. Second guy, the famine was massive, hit Ukraine, the Cossack regions and Kazakhstan. Also most Cossacks were Russian on the census so that the Soviets wouldn't murder them (or rather had less of an excuse). Most Cossacks died under Soviet rule. There were five million in 1914 and about 300'000 80 years later.

  1138.  @borrico1965  Don’t think it should be based on income, really you want the most successful people in society to have the most kids and pass the success on to them (though if its anything like my country they’ll get sent to private school anyway), plus wealth being split between heirs is one of the most effective ways of curbing dynasties and stopping large parts of the elite from becoming trust fund kids who never contribute anything to society. I would have thought that scholarships would already be common, the more you know I guess, my country doesn’t do them much because they think its unfair on stupid children.  Do you mean Shinto by pagan? What is the belief or tradition it stems from? Isn’t it possible that people just haven’t thought about it much, after all more control over the education your child receives is something any parent would support and funding your kid is the role of a parent. I only bumped into the problem because it would be something to effect me personally if I ever moved there from my country and I already knew I wanted lots of kids, and was researching living costs towards that end anyway. If I was local I would probably never have questioned it, though on the whole I think foreigners have a lot less useful stuff to say about Japan than they think they do and some of the their suggestions seem straight up malicious when you take into account how well they’ve worked in western countries.

  1139. Given North African soldier's record during the war I wouldn't so readily dismiss claims of mass sexual violence, this channel itself has before published witness statements about the subject and their is numerous and well attested evidence from many other otherwise unrelated communities where they were deployed. Other than that the video was insightful but hardly surprising given the ideological nature of nation socialism or the social norms of the time period.

Not really, there is basically nothing about the component nations of Britain nor do most people even know all that much about England itself, if anything more people probably know about the Irish famine than Edward III or Edward I, we also aren't a country with a massive amount of grievances as we've tended to be the winning side historically, though that is shifting due to domestic events and the actions of certain internal groups, along with the general trends of polarisation.

It's all surface level and smug, I'm happy he's no longer over here but sad for the Japanese for having him. He lives a sheltered life and complains about nonsense he doesn't understand nor have workable solutions to, it's all just so much whingeing, he should grow up.

  1156.  @jonasastrom7422  Not necessarily, it depends how loose the definition is, personally I would consider monarchy to be tied into oaths, obligations and a specific patriarchal relationship between a ruler and his people. The justifications of rule just have similarities, but monarchs are bond by their role, many of the actions Stalin took would have been difficult to carry out for an actual monarch and would have lost them their soul within the conception of oaths that not just the Christians but many other groups had. Stalin is much closer to Oliver Cromwell, not a King exactly because he had less restraints than one, in Cromwell's case he refused a crown because he knew it would bind him. Of course in a popular culture shaped by centuries of divine kingship it was easy for Russians to make comparisons between the autocratic power of Stalin and older cultural norms from the times of the Tsars, which they did. Stalin did play into fatherly aspects, but the reality of what he did puts the lie to it. Because a King was patriarch of a people he was meant to lead and shepherd them for the health of the flock, Stalin wiped out group upon group that had done nothing more than raise his distrust or exist in opposition to his ideology. Stalin was both a committed communist and someone who was a student of Russian history and would often make reference to it, he was certainly influenced by past actions of Tsars, but he wasn't a Tsar himself, nor were his policies directed by past interests, he did not try to reforge the Byzantine Empire but he did create a communist empire across eastern Europe. He was a complicated man, and a typically pragmatic if you account for the fact that he had no conscience whatsoever and that he was still a true believer in his ideology, to the point taking many actions that would have long term detrimental effects but which he saw as necessary to build communism.

  1162. With the collapse of the USSR it was taken over by Russia, who would take it over with Russia's collapse, Kazakhstan? A collapse of power in Russia would be considerably more chaotic than that of the Soviet Union as there would be no organised structures to hand power over to, also Russia would be unlikely to remain collapsed with a new state structure and ideology likely asserting itself in short order, a bit like with all the Chinese collapses in central power, likewise the new Russia could well be a more formidable state than the current, or it could be a new Soviet union and further undermine any of the potential that the nation has left.

  1178.  @Hotasianchick  Most steppe cultures are noted as having a loose relationship with languages, with different ethnic groups changing them depending on the preeminent power at the time. However the interest in such peoples is related directly to their relation to ourselves, this is the only part of them very much worth discussing, as the study of them is largely along the terms of influence upon the later cultures. Given that we exist I will put no stock in anything you say, historians and experts are constantly talking about genetic genealogy and historical accounts relating to this region, and these people's. And though I take much less of an interest in it myself I will trust the fact that definitive stable populations which features that would not be retained without a good deal of genetic isolation (which is unusual from steppe populations) was required for them to exist both now and in written historical accounts. I will trust that the goths were germanic considerably more than that they appeared out of nowhere in a land full of people accounted to much later. People's like the Alans and Avars still exist in southern Russia, it is not hard to link current people's to those of thousands of years ago, the problem is with liars and distorters who wish to justify the eraser of people in current existence by claiming they didn't exist in the past.

  1185. There were heavy casualties among Russians due to very active fighting but the attritional tactics were very obvious, they surrounded the Ukrainian line of supply on the flanks, launched strong frontal assaults that required constant reinforcements and then decimated all the reinforcements as they came in, thus they inflicted extremely high casualties in return for very high casualties among their most expendable troops (it should be remembered that these dangerous criminals were offered freedom after 6 months, it was the incentive to use them up). It would be interesting to know which groups are taking casualties in this fight.

  1189. To understand the actual value of these things one should consider Poland and Russia, Poland had a powerful nobility who exercised considerable freedom and power, Russia had the same but was also autocratic and religious. The Polish nobility failed to guard the interests of the nation, and lost everything as the price of their freedom, Russia was in many respects a miserable country, but there tenacity, high birth rate, and willingness to sacrifice meant that they became dominant. The current elite are not economically very productive, they are basically selling of the nation bit by bit in return for the industrial production of the outwardly poorer nations. They are selling the family silver in order to live the high life for a single generation. They also have no higher loyalties and few children. They are the dead walking. The populace has been debauched and is not in a good state at all, they have no real leadership and follow on in the mistakes of their betters. But they can feel the knife in their back even they can't form a proper vanguard. They are angry. The future is for young people willing to form a new elite and lead a revival, as part of this is the total rejection of enlightenment liberalism and loyalty to God and people. Such a vanguard will in a sense be both reactionary and revolutionary. It is clear that this will come from non-university educated young men, and that they shall be defined by a willingness to use force. Questions like what a certain demographic wants are a question of democracy, something which is increasingly not a moral question at all, but merely one of a few vestiges of legitimacy. You ask what will happen with college educated women, they will either become married mothers or else have the social safety net cut from beneath them. We are looking either at the death of a civilisation and people, or else at the death of liberalism and liberal democracy. There is not solution to fix the status quo, the status quo is itself the Gordian knot, and problem such that it has decided on its own solution, past that it is an issue of power and resolve.

  1200. It is called complementary, men should love their wives and wives serve the family and community under the leadership of their husbands. Feminism as a liberal ideology (meaning that freedom and equality are the moral centres) is not compatible with Christianity at all, to which slavery itself is not immoral but rather a temptation to it, in much the same way as any having power over another may be tempted to misuse it and thus must be restrained by morality. Christianity is hierarchical and patriarchal (God is the supreme patriarch and as a result the hierarchies imitate that relationship in form and function), it is a religion of bonds and responsibilities, not of freedom and desire.

  1204. Unfortunately the current Japanese government are neo-cons and the American ngos have been taking quite a lot of ground, indeed a lot of the hate for Japan comes directly from them in order to pressure out of touch Japanese politicians to do what they want (basically all the rest of the hate Japan gets is from nationalists in South Korea and mainland China and subversives within the domestic politics of Japan, basically the communists, westernized Japanese and the boomer liberals). Part of this is opening the country up, starting with tourism, and it should be stated that Japan is so peaceful and well ordered that western Europeans are 10x or more likely to be causing whatever kind of trouble than the Japanese are, especially the younger generation who are much less used to what a high trust society even is and act accordingly. For non-western Europeans it is much worse, there have already been signs of German style policing and from what I can glean Rotherham type stuff has already started. Previous to this plague of tourists the Japanese have a contentious relationship with the US bases, the soldiers of whom have a poor reputation and a very bad history towards Japanese civilians. The Japanese thought that tourism would boast the economy, this as it happened was GDP brain, the costs in infrastructure do not scale when dealing with people how have a disposable mindset towards their own things let alone others, also they need a major infrastructure redevelopment to deal with these people, and the profits don't flow through the economy much, also they have staff problems as even many Japanese would rather be on welfare than dealing with tourists, since covid many in the sector have not come back. Most Japanese do not speak a second language, they were taught English in school but it is to the level where you could consider it a government jobs program for people who took English in university, other languages are basically in the realm of high level academics or the book translation industry. Also the people showing up are largely the anywhere types, which culturally does not fit with Japan even slightly, once the exorcism wears off these people are like Californians in red states. Japan is great in a lot of ways, but the people they need are rural, conservative and at least 110 iq or so just for them to hold their weight. Unless the Japanese wise up politically, kick out American influence, realign slightly more towards China, or more likely India (who they have very good relations with), and start being extremely discriminating about who they let in, then they will basically good the way that much of eastern Europe currently is, in that they held out longer, but not enough. In the more likely situation of them being politically inept, they should at least preserve the people by blocking all immigration and anything that becomes immigration the moment they can slip away from having to comply with the term on the visa. Japan has a lot good about it, namely that they have a culture (even if one not great under the hood), they have a functioning state (even if a liberalized one) and they have cheap rural property (which honestly might be worth it under basically any circumstances if you can get the opportunity, a second hand home is in the tens of thousands of dollars range, and the livings costs are low as well).

  1207. It's probably true, if it isn't then most likely a case of mistaken identity. Hitler had an extraordinary war record in a sense, going through the war in an extremely dangerous role in the midst of what was already very heavy losses to the larger formations he was part of. He was noted for exceptional bravery, both during the war, and in the brawling and street fighting of the political climate after it. Like Mussolini he was not the type to lie (mussolini's memoirs are not flattering, though he is proud and boastful throughout confessions such as being a r*pist and once attacking some English ladies in Switzerland and stealing their picnic) but unlike him he was wise enough to omit certain things, it is only recently that historians have discovered that he was almost certainly on the communist side of the political chaos in Bavaria just after the war. I other words unlike several of those around him he was not the type to make stuff up, he was a true believer of his ideology, straightforward in his public persona and secretive in his personal life. We know a good bit about him due to the level of focus and interest by historians, many elements that might seem stilted have the complaints and powerplays within the party contextualing them with plenty of notes, diaries and paperwork surviving and showing that a considerable apparatuses of backbiting and power balances was set up around a man who liked to rant at his staff about politics inbetween falling asleep in his chair (and held in common with Stalin a love for American westerns). So we have a fairly good idea of his character, remarkable in some way, unremarkable in others, and notorious as a bit of a bore. It's a bit like when Putin mentioned going on special operations during his time in the KGB, and the media scrambled because that wasn't in his public record. Hitler probably had enough war stories to bore an archivist (certainly enough for people to give up noting all of them down), he certainly preferred the company of comrades from those times (often to the annoyance of Himmler). Knowing the media parts of the story actually happened and they just made up the bits they couldn't find out. They've still quite like that now, but at the time it is very common that rather than keep a story from print to confirm the matter they would just write something that couldn't get them in legal trouble ('he phoned but the kid of a relative answered ') rather than investigate properly or take an interest in anything boring or mundane.

  1219. Yeah, that's because their whole economy went to hell after the collapse of the Soviet Union (not that it was exactly healthy at any point past the first world war), I did say intentionally. Western nations particularly sponsored deindustrialisation, the Russias could serve to clean up their whole act (and then some) but at least they are in a position where a disruption to supply chains or the change in allegiance of some third party won't be fatal to the war and possibly meeting the basic needs of the population. Though perhaps I'm looking at it wrong, the current order chains nations into US interests and policy (if you're in a house of cards it's in your interest to good with the general sway and not have the whole thing collapse on top of you) and thus from the perspective of the hegemon it is brilliantly constructed, though bankrolling the economic miracle in China was probably a tad bit worse than misjudged, and a good part of the western elite don't seem to have any genuine loyalties so will probably jump ship at the first viable alternative (though that compares favourably to the Russian elite who seem to be a liability to operating a functioning system, and the Chinese elite haven't killed Xi yet so they likely have the clock ticking on how long their system can continue).

  1220. My point is that both the Russians and the west have very serious issues, the west is lucky that Russia has proven itself so incompetent, in terms of things like electronics you can't really blame Russian leadership, the country is a shadow of its former self and it's former self very often managed to be a shadow of a country that from the 19th century, wealth probably could have been allocated a lot better but hindsight is 20:20 and even with it the priority would be internal corruption and fixing the state of the military. The West has also been fortunate that the Chinese have taken the advantage given to them and decided to squander it on trying to institute Maoism again (literally the worse political ideology to ever exist), it is a matter of time before that backfires and the ccp gets toppled by the nationalists (and I'm not meaning Chinese civil war type republican nationalists, mainlander nationalists literally want an emperor and Confucianism, a return to the imperial system). The west has many internal issues, but it has proven better at pretending they don't exist and it's enemies are self-sabotaging to a greater extent, I would remain wary, those things won't remain static and there is every possibility that alternative powers who drink battery acid for breakfast will arise out of the oncoming economic collapse, or maybe someone in a middle eastern country will work out how to run a functioning state, Alexander the Great, Muhammad and Napoleon all came out of left field historically and we're currently leaving a lot of room open to elites who don't literally eat crayons and think that rehashing the most geocidial ideologies of the 20th century is in any way a worthwhile alternative to the current system (looking at you western academia). At least in my country things are incredibly unjust and tyrannical, with the people alienated from apparatus of power, it doesn't look it on the surface but things are incredibly volatile.

Women are not to be taken very seriously at all, they usually don't know the first thing of what they are talking about, men stand by causes, women use them against other women, either to status signal, sabotage or force uniformity, if you treat them like serious people they will think less of you. The trick is to have their best intentions for them, that is you forward their actual interests (feeling secure, having lots of babies and being able to one up other women) on their behalf, all the ideological stuff would be windowdressing if not given hard power by the legal system and the resentful advice of other women. People who demand respect are pathetic, and should be treated as such, otherwise they are emboldened.

  1224. There is honestly as much chance of a neo-Byzantine empire. Britain has nothing in common with what it once was, it is a managerial oligarchy just like the US, the old aristocratic class is gone. It has a terrible political system and worse leadership, which it is unlikely to relinquish because it was the inventor of one and the other in enforced by American power. It has lost it's industry, it's internal structures not only have lost the concept of good governance but are anathema to them. It is a multicultural society quickly becoming sectarian. It is a global power with a military that can almost no longer be called one. It is a country that has sold itselfself to the highest bidder and spent the money on what it no longer has the industry to get. It is a bureaucratic nightmare and an insult to reason or decency. It is a denigrated husk of a culture and society. In has the morality of the devil and the sense of a fool. In short we are rather stuffed to put it lightly. A revival is possible, but it would need a revolution, every fundament of the country would have to be changed, and not a soul of the current elite would have a place in it. It would have to become something quite apart from what it was even before the decline, as what was before merely presaged it. After that comes the problem that without invasion the settler colonies would have to undergo the same process, as they are very much in the same predicament as us. A neo-byzantium would need the powerful orthodox faction in Russia to succeed putin, the renthronement of a Romanov, the repudiation of the soviet era and the reform and strengthening of the nation and society, then a successful war against Turkey and a political union with Greece. In short it's not going to happen, but it's more likely than Britain doing an about turn, fundamentally changing everything in the society and then reunifying and empire long dead and increasingly demographically and culturally irrelevant. For one it's something the Russians actually think about doing.

  1230.  @gatergates8813  That Christians believed in foreign Gods being Gods, they believed they were daemons. I'd have to go through the video again there were lots of odd statements. Esoterism for example is not religious truth, it's highly contentious and largely not recognised as valid at all even in very 'theologically loose' churches. He's also not separating liberal ideology from Christian thought nearly enough, French style liberalism includes a direct inversion of the Christian moral system.

  1236. Historically speaking they did and it did not matter much, there were many other causes and the revolt was by surprise and organised in advance, though disorganised in how it was carried out (some regiments escorted British officers and their families away from danger, some massacred them, some went on an indiscriminate rampage and other just marched off to Deli, on top of this the mutineers were only a component of the rebellion, and many of them stopped being cohesive units and thus lost military relevance, much of the rebel forces were princely forces or armed mobs, and a considerable part of the fighting was not even that as the British wiped out villages which had taken part in crimes against their civilians or in some cases let auxiliary forces like the mountain tribesmen, Sikhs and Gurkha's devastate the countryside at will, the British were highly unsympathetic to humanitarian concerns after their relatives and acquaintances had been killed).

  1243. Even if you're videos don't get through to the committed ideologs they are incredibly useful for stopping young people from moving down that path. I'm currently learning to become a teacher, I'm a first generation Christian who wants to have a large family, after this course I will never ever allow my children into this country's schools (state or public), I'm likely going to emigrate. Things are bad, really bad. The literature is beyond poor, the analysis of data and facts are very shoddy and everything's built upon rotten foundations. Many in the academia think that stating their good intentions has some sort of meaning, they will likewise strawman the opposition the traditionalists, calling their teaching 'authoritarian ' even in professional peer reviewed work. The thing is that these traditionalists don't seem to exist, their last relevant works seem to have been in the 30's and other than a small revival in the 80's I have only run across a single book by someone who aligns himself with them (from 1999) and he is a left winger himself, he just seems to have noticed how horrible the effects of many 'progressive ' policies have been and is arguing for ways of solving issues that can empirically be observed rather than basing everything on value systems. The attempt to propergandise education is blatant and the people behind it are shockingly open about what they are doing. I was also somewhat disheartened to find the ideas of child abusers and systems that failed children on a criminal level (still no inquiry despite it being so open as to be publicly available knowledge, Summerhill is still open despite the pos who founded it's daughter running the show) brought up in for discussion that overly positive condescending way that teachers always use to clue people in to what the 'right' answer is, they didn't mention the history unsurprisingly. With things as they are your videos and ones like them are necessary to decontaminate the understanding of the world that many young people are being brought up into by the school system. Practice teachers aren't nearly as much into the ideology of teaching but then that fact is one of the foremost tensions between them and the academics (somewhat one sidedly as practice teachers are busy).

  1248. The rebellion was highly regionalised and caste played a part as the soldiers in the other company armies were largely of lower caste they had less interest in the grievances of the rebels and felt there was more to lose. The main divide between those how rebelled and those who didn't wasn't religion with the exception of the Sikhs who even besides the larger dislike for many of the groups making up the rebellion also showed unwillingness to stand aside and watch the massacres on an individual level often at the cost to their own lives. It bears mentioning that cowpor changed the war, before it many even in Britain had had some sympathy for the rebels (the East India Company didn't have the best reputation even then) and other European powers had some hope that it might undermine British power. Cowpor ended that, critics of the Empire at home were silenced and Europe moved to show solidarity with Britain (partly because a good few of the Europeans killed in the many little massacres weren't British) against barbarism. In India as well it caused a sea change, many Indians were as horrified as the British and such sentiment were enough to push off the fence sitters if not through sympathy through the blood thirstyness the British and their Indian loyalists started displaying. Within India British officers were close knit enough that many had known of at least bumped into at some point one of the wife's or children killed and more than a few had lost their own family, less but still quite the number of Indian troops especially the higher up ones would have recognised a few of the names of the list of the dead, on top of this the British marched the troops coming to fight the rebels past the site of the massacre and quite the number saw the bodies and would recognised some among them. As a result both British and Indian troops had very little inclination to mercy and bayonet changes to the warcry of "Cowpor" along with the justification of killing people even for not fighting the rebels and with a kill the all and let God sort them out mentality became commonplace. It is also of note that such actions were an oddity in British military action with the stance typically being taken that the gentle rider would not have to worry about being kicked by the horse and thus they left brutality to the tax collectors (and a tactic that worked very well for British Imperialism as brave rebels soon become hated bandits if the occupiers act better than them and pay their keep).

  1249. Soldiers will typically fight for who can feed them. The militia movements are disorganised and lack a central leadership. The control of the cities and population disparity means that the left can just create conscript armies. They would of course need to organise better but it would not be a one-sided affair at all. Of course it's useful if the left think they are at a disadvantage as to be frank they are much more motivated to use such means in order to deal with those they dislike. Where as the right is defensively minded and suffers heavily for it.

  1250.  @JoeyMace28  Only if they have the organisational ability to enact a siege. It's possible, but the reds aren't just going to sit there, the benefit would be that cities generally lack vast stocks of artillery so as long as the defences where set up immediately and well the cities would not be in a good way, but it would not be easy to pull off at all.

  1251. The red army adopted elements of the Imperial Russian uniform under the nationalistic guidance of Stalin (Stalin despite being a committed communist, a Georgian rather than Russian, and evil was a big fan of Russian dynastic history, and an expert on the politics and strategic policy of it), as time went on they made it look even more like the Imperial one's, bringing back shoulder straps and the type of leather belts officers used to wear. This was controversial at the time as the red army had previously worn civil war elements of uniform specifically meant to make them look distinct from the Imperial army. Don Cossacks as a military estate wore military style uniforms, traditionally their colours were blue and red, they would wear blue trousers with a wide red stripe, but traditionally also a thick blue coat in peasant style, however during modernisation the coat was removed and they were told to wear the army issue shirt with other elements in their colours and the same trousers. This is what modern 'Don' Cossacks wear, they are politically monarchist and religiously orthodox, the soviets pretty much wiped them out so it is a revival movement. Usually they want the old station of a military elite back, but also the Tsar and Empire. Their symbolism is all constructed around these, lots of monarchist flags, orthodox iconography and old imperial uniform elements, though usually not very closely following the old regulations, especially as their lack of military function has made them ridiculously officer heavily as their shoulderboards are silver and everyone wants those.

Seemingly he wasn't the type to pull his punches, as the Nazi's would shut his newspaper down for attacking them (he was to their right, as were many monarchists and Christian hardliners). I'll have to finish it, but it's a breath of fresh air so far, it's nice to have a break from obtuse academic prose, especially philosophical.

  1254. Like no it's not the no true Scotsman as their beliefs and practices outright contradict many of the principles and tenants of the faith, most notably the witnesses believe in doomsday prophecies despite the bible directly saying they are baloney, the Mormons believe in a new prophet who was big into marrying multiple underaged girls, plagiarized from the freemasons which he was once a member of and renounced his faith shortly before dying. If they are indeed legitimate variants of Christianity then Islam is on an equal footing with them as a branch of Christianity (hell it's a more legitimate one than Mormonism as it's founder never renounced his faith, and it's not apocalyptic either nor does in encourage people to die rather than undergo critical medical procedures like the witnesses like to do). It's not like there's a shortage of recognised church's either and it's the fanatics from them that are engaging in no Scotsman though theology a science in its own way so there's a pretty sure gap between arguing over doctrine and accusing the pope of being the anti-christ.

  1255. People aren't getting what the OP is saying, Japan is despite feelings of becoming too materialist not a country well suited for a consumer based economy. The reason there are huge family savings is because they are very frugal and have a culture clash with the mindset of consumerism. This is not something which will change and government attempts have just lowered public trust in the economy and made them more spendthrift. Japan is much better suited to an export economy ever if it isn't stylish among economists and could be a threat to US dominance of the world markets again. It is not just that one sort of economy is better than another. It is the specifics that count.

  1257. Everyone I've ever met how knew Churchill brought into all the propaganda (which was mostly curated by him himself) but then mentions that in all their personal dealings he was totally dishonest (to the point of almost lying pathologically) and unpleasant, but it must have been a bad day or something. Given that historians take what he said about himself at face value he probably needs a more in-depth look, one critical but not from the perspective of a political enemy just looking for an excuse to demonize, I think there is plenty enough dirt without undermining credibility by exaggerating or falsely framing things.

  1258. The Assyrians are the earliest that I can think of who left written record of their targeted annihilation of people groups (usually subject ones whom had rebelled). That then gets into wherever city states count as distinct groups even if they tick all the box's, for example did Alexander the great commit a genocide in his eradication of Thebes.

  1263. Doomerism like this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. People who are demotivated are much less active. I was unlucky enough the other day to hear about research into the survival instincts of rats, if a rat was dropped it water it would drown in about 20 minutes, if it had previously been saved from drowning they would hold on for 7 hours. Hope is a hell of a drug. Also single young men predicts political instability far more than old people, the tension in places like Britain could be lit up with a match, they only thing holding them back is that they don't know how to revolt, why or when, they are all waiting for someone else to make the first move so if it fails they go down for it instead, if there is a moment of weakness from the state things here will go nuclear. And every year it doesn't happen the opposition is getting better organised, more radical and far more mainstream.

  1264. Mass education and entertainment media are the best means of value shaping, in fact they are how we got into the mess in the first place. If you want to shape how people act, shape how they think. Money is nice but people very often don't act rationally and they won't change their prejudices due to it. People who already have kids like the Muslims and gypsies will be pleased but it likely will have depressingly little impact on anyone else.

  1266. The less reliable source I spoke about is The Tale of the Indian mutiny by William Henry Fitchett. The personal accounts are varied and all of the one's I have read are kindle editions published by Normanby Press, most of the one's which touch on Cowpore are mostly talking about controversies at the time, whether the women were dishonored before death and the exact state of the house (an account which was almost certainly embellished considerable had been published and it seems like they were mostly focused on responding (indirectly for the most part) to it and also attempting to dispute general rumours which got about at the time itself), with them talking about there having been no possibility of children being hung on meathooks and the like as had got around a great deal at the time. Cononel George Bruce Malleson has an extensive history but I can only presume it is one of the more reliable as it bored me to tears, however that's the only one of Normanby's on the Indian mutiny I haven't read unless I missed one somewhere, if I recall there is one by Mowbray Thompson which is not published by them but pertains directly to cowpore so that also might be good. I can't give you page numbers or the like as I've been causally reading them over the past year. As many of them are just compilations of diary entries and letters from the period they give you a very good view of people's perspectives at the time.

  1270. Poland will have a very hard time given that the rest of Europe and especially Germany will utterly resist their national autonomy. Poland is in a difficult position, honestly their best chance would be if Russia becomes a monarchy again they could strike a deal to essential become part of a composite monarchy, which is maintain autonomy while essentially taking over the Russian state like they historically did with Lithuania, Russia has an internal problem with competent elites that any new regime would have to wrestle with (and the fact that the historical sources of elites, the Russian, Baltic German and Cossack nobility were wiped out by the Soviets), Poland has serious political, cultural and religious conflict with the West, ironically the biggest conflicts between them and the Russian right are imperialism (Russia by no means has the human resources or elite capabilities to realise these ambitions, the whole state has been left in a very bad position, consolidation is the number one priority objectively speaking even if that might break the romance of many Russian imperialists. The fact is that Russia needs to source capable people with primary loyalty to the state, a fully autonomous but associated kingdom would be the best source, taking up the role of the Baltic Germans and allowing for internal reform to be implemented) and the split in the church (which now more than ever is in need of being healed, with Christianity being assailed on all sides the house divided will fall). To put things simply this would normalize relations while being politically acceptable to the Russian right, providing security guarantees in regards to western Europe and cultural and political ones in regards to the ambitions of the US (which in the number one global supporter of progressivism) and EU.

  1274. Lowlander peasants mostly didn't spend all their time in low level conflicts and raids against each other so it wasn't really their known style of fighting, highlanders were plenty experienced but the militia were better used in the form that least showed their inexperience, pike blocks fit this, especially when English heavy cavalry was a major threat, they had the problem that pike blocks dealt poorly with the English preference for longbows but if they didn't use them the knights could just directly charge and kill most of them in the rout. For this reason their main strength was numbers (fact was the North wasn't densely populated and they typically attacked while the main army was in France) and irregular warfare, be it raiding, or harassing English garrisons.

  1275. They just have increased the number of forever liberals in their employ by adding the Greek. Dade has always totally lacked introspection, it was a mistake to couple him with the company yes-man, he can be good if with someone who is more intellectual and willing to call him on his shit or clarify on his behalf but on his own or with someone not like that he can dig himself into a really big hole with the hottakes. Carl is seeing a lot of development, he's just not showing any of it on lotus eaters, look up his recent podcast appearances. All the others are very much their own people and while Harry and Callum are seeing intellectual development most of the rest either aren't visibly or clearly don't have that as a goal, the Greek for instance only seems to be there to try and defend lost ground because he is committed to liberalism and doesn't want the Overton window to move beyond it or change axis.

  1276. Death on the wheel was exclusively for what were seen as the worst crimes. Beheading wasn't necessary from the wealthy as he mentioned it could be extended as a favour, on top of that the courts could go for it as a mercy as was most often the case with women, and prominent people could intercede which is what the wealthy were hoping for and often enough disappointed in. If you were a very prominent noble however or best friends with one hanging probably wouldn't happen though considering someone was going out of the way to kill someone with political connections they might well just to spite you. Members of the court were also pretty safe as long as they didn't really get under the skin of someone a lot more powerful than them (the king or a cardinal for example, the city executing them for another).

  1277. We have to thoroughly rebuild from the foundations and reclaim from the ashes. The current apparatus is our utter enemy and will happily forgo its original function to spite and inhibit us, we must fundamental rethink our methods as we can't use the logic of the enemy as it is the force animating them and the source of their strength and direction. We must formulate arguments and in cases where we don't have time our only option is to resist with enough force to effect their retreat and reconsolidation, in cases like these echoes of complaint or even outrage over the internet do nothing, physical presence and direct action especially against people higher up the hierarchy who don't think their influence is seen are the only way you can strike terror into them, everyone will rush their hand out if they realise it is in a wasps nest.

Great a neo-lib simp, so Germany should stop pursuing independent interests and become America's bulldog in Europe (largely because France has made their opposition to taking on such a role more than apparent), policing American protectorates is in truth not a promotion as the US would very likely not be able to manage such vassals without raising up one prisoner to guard the others, Germany would imprison others though it's chains. And no I'm not pro Russia or China, Russia is a basket case and the ccp is evil and historically responsible for the worst crimes in the history of man. One shouldn't submit themselves to a master simply because there are others who are worse, and as far as I can see all countries are headed off on a trajectory with a steep fall and rocks at the bottom no matter what their excuses for why we shouldn't reevaluate the path may be.

  1288. Britain had wisely been in an alliance with Japan which meant that it could leave the Pacific theatre to them, but the Americans did not like it and demanded it end. In the end the British political gave up the alliance in return for the Washington Naval Treaty, which limited the tonnage of Navies, causing the British to have to scrap many ships they were building and allowing America to build up it's own navy to the British strength without an arms race they would undoubtedly lose badly (as with a Japanese alliance the entire British navy could be concentrated in the Atlantic), it also stopped the Japanese from naval expansion by giving them a much tighter tonnage limit. In short it ruined the alliance and massively aided America, the British excuse was that it limited expenditure, but given the many other actions of internal sabotage during the period it is almost certain that British politicians were very much on the take, either that or ideological compromised.

  1291. During the Ukraine war I've thought is a mistake for the Russians to not have cavalry, many of their offensives have been road-bound and their logistics could do with practically any increase in capacity which isn't just an increase in traffic. The Soviets likely did a great deal of damage to Russian security but wiping out the Cossacks, such a group was taylor for to Russia's security needs, being cheap, numerous, moble and robust. People also seem to forget that cavalry are a dismount away from light infantry, they can rush breakthroughs and then dig in.
    2
  1292. In general the Soviets did immense damage, breaking up the Russian Empire, destroying the birth rate, killing many of the most valuable people and persecuting many useful regional ethnicities. But with the Cossacks in particular they wiped out an autonomous border force, able both to defend themselves and wage constant low level conflict. It was also an immense reserve of military power, especially irregular horsemen. Now peripheral areas must be controlled through patronage networks and 'peace keeping forces' from the military. On top of this the land is very lightly settled and in such regions there is a problem with the draining off of ethic Russians to the Urbanised interior. It seems like the government has backtracked and is trying to use cossack identity as some form of nationalist skinsuit, the issue is that without the same social structure, legal status and ingrained culture it isn't really the same thing, but maybe that will change. Currently there isn't the logistical capability for the mass breeding, training, deployment and feeding of horses, but it would probably be worth it, horses don't need imported technology to be produced or maintained, cavalry work well as a reserve, likewise deploying them on the border would be threatening and force mass deployment of barbed wire. The downside is high casualties, this was also the case historically, they are like paratroopers, due to being a spearhead force and operating behind enemy lines they take very high casualties. Whether it is affordable depends on use, priorities and soft factors like birth rates (which throughout most of Russian history more than made up for high casualties in war) and the capacity in terms of horses and trained men. If the Cossacks had not been annihilated there would have been 300k or more cav to deal with and the early offences would have gone much better if the sides of the roads had been screened and it had been a matter of pockets rather than seas of resistance. But then without the revolution Russia would be a totally different country, and one much stronger in many other ways as well. The focus on Russian policy makers should probably be on winning the war, improving the economy and making more Russians, but a test unit at least would be interesting.

  1293.  @sudipkumarroy3790  Being a Christian my approach to these things in the ancient one, demons are scary, magic is not, as we don't need to worry about what isn't real, though we should probably worry for the people engaging in them.

  1294. Southern Italians are a go bit distant from Northern Italians, but not as far as North Africans or the like. Also however these are averages, most European countries have an internal class system in which Germanic people's were the traditional nobility, except for Poland, the Balkans and Hungary (which is basically slavs with a Magyar elite, but they are pretty mixed at this point). If your son in law looks German he is probably more closely related, if he looks more Greek or Arab then maybe not so much.

  1301. Despite being protestant myself I must point out that most modern protestant churches are hardly Christian and that protestant theology can be directly linked to the enlightenment and thus the destruction of the dominance of Christian moral and religious dominance and the rise of irreligious ideologies, notably Rousseauianism (as it is now the dominance foundational philosophy in most western countries), the personal interpretation of the gospels has only led to the proliferation of heresies and the declarification of common understandings, as it has undermined the idea of correct or singular interpretations and encouraged the nonsense that any interpretation is equally valid, which itself has even further negative effects. The Catholics are now being attacked within their own institutional structures (the same way many protestant churches were compromised) and the orthodox have long been the minions of local state and ideological interest, so a simple backtracking is not an option but we must know where we went wrong and how in order to know in what way to go forwards.

  1310. Siege warfare was not a science and thus mass assaults were the favoured method of the ottomans, much western fortification was developed directly against this. The jannisaries were the elite reserve, azaps (conscripts) and irregular forces (who had joined on for loot) were sent in first as they were less valuable (the irregular troops were literally free and would benefit you by dying), the jannisaries were sent in to deliver the fatal blow but if things were bungled or the foe difficult they would still take heavy casualties given the nature of the fighting. What made the ottomans formidable was their ability to maintain and replace casualties far more effectively than their enemies, at least in that type of fighting, on the field their artillery was excellent, numbers unparalleled and troop types versatile without lower quality, however due to the jannarisaries they would become increasingly archaic and have to make up the shortfall increasingly with irregular troops, enemy political infighting (they were in many senses protected by the Austrians having no shortage of enemies and in all senses by they fact that no other powers wanted Russia in the Balkans and Mediterranean and were willing to intervene to stop it) and axillary forces from their vassals (especially the tartars, Albanians and Serbs).

It should be noted that post-war disability claims show that very few soldiers were actually permanently blinded by gas and likewise most men with bandages over the eyes weren't even temporarily blind, it was merely official advice to cover the eyes in order to protect them (the chemicals in gas had a habit of sticking to anything they touched).

  1317. You don't seem to understand the historical context at all, or the theological for that matter. Christ was a warrior, but against the spiritual forces of evil, both within man and of the forsaken one. The fact he was not a earthly king, here to give Israel a conqueror in the same sense as Alexander was the very reason the religious authorities attacked him, they interpreted his role as one of subjugating the world to themselves (if you know some internal theology you will know they still act with that intention). By rejecting their God when he came to them they apostasised the faith, thus Israel continued in the Church, not in those who rejected it (this is a point of contention with evangelicals and why they act like they do). European society was fundamentally hierarchical, the faith of a King was the faith of the people, it was his ancestors they honored. When he chose to convert it was their duty as his subjects to do likewise, in the same way as a father decides the commitments of the son. Christianity is likewise patriarchal and hierarchical, and indeed these Kings as they submitted to the authority of God submitted the the religious and secular (though often theoretical) authority of the Emperor of Rome. Thus for a very long time the political structures of Europe remained in a set structure resembling that of late Rome, even if the actual reality was much more fluid and the culture flourished. Much that is seen as unique about Europe comes from centuries of social engineering from the Church and the practices of a church that would seem alien to those some time after the reformation, medieval Catholicism was highly diverse, dynamic and strident. Likewise many have been effected by the propaganda campaigns of the reformation period (which are in the process of being stripped back, and were highly influential to enlightenment and post-modern understandings of the faith, it's motivations and history) and even more by the reactions within Christendom itself to the reformation, with the creation of many internal problems, a constant state of rupture and the lose of confidence in a single course of action.

  1318. They won't, the western elite believe everyone is the same and they can use immigration to bring in a serf class, the reality is a repeat of what happened to Anatolia, 1000 years ago it was Greek now it is Turkey. Unfortunately many Indian nationalists seem to mostly enjoy the shoe being on the other foot rather than offering solidarity. Internally Europe is very weak, Christianity is almost extinct and the liberal ideologies don't even understand religious motivation and thin the Muslims are allies because they also want to deconstruct western civilisation. Here in Britain the government sides with them against the population, look up Rotherham, what happens is not fit for the youtube bots.

  1319. William 4th historical wanted to change the succession law, he also wanted Victoria to change her name to Elizabeth. As for how it would go, Germany didn't have a proper unified identity until after WW1 (bit like Canada, Australia, New Zealand ect) even during it hannoveran troops had a habit of being less than proactive when facing the British (Bavarians also sometimes had a you you don't fire I won't fire approach and were the same in being more apathetic towards the war in general than the prussians) comparatively. The whole liberal thing is on shaky ground, Victoria was only one by the standards of time (and place) and held great sway over politics even if she operated discreetly not seeing the need to use her technical powers when the implication and existence of them was enough, by absolutist standards and was very hands off but by modern she was tyrannical, that said standards were different (for example the erection of Oliver Cromwell's statue outside of parliament late in her reign was a public scandal with it being, rightly as it would end up, seen as an announcement of the house of common's ambitions). It wasn't until her son (dirty bertie) took over that the shift in power to the house of commons really took place (he was a disinterested king who tried to shake off what duty's he could) and even then he spearheaded the nations improvements of relations with France (he as a debauched and dissolute individual loved the Paris nightlife, almost exclusively the brothel's part of it) pre that the only Willhelm himself upset the balance of who the British favoured between France and Germany. Hanover had a history of democratic institutions yes but they had a history of failing to protect hanoveran sovereignty and a reputation for incompetence, who knows how it would play out however monarchists and conservatives (from all classes) had provided the mainstay of support for the crown in the region and would likely continue to do so. It's less than likely if the Brits would even allow for Germany to unify as it would clearly pose an existential threat to national integrity in the long term, I have a feeling that Austria would be getting loans at excellent rates in this timeline and the relations with Russia would be somewhat better. If Hanover was still independent today it would likely be about a german as Austria, having continued it's own national identity as much to differentiate itself from Germany as anything else, it would almost certainly be an independent member of the British commonwealth with the Queen as a head of state and other than that English would probably be an even more widespread 2nd language in the region than it is, British education would likely prioritise German over French and probably take teaching it somewhat more seriously, Hanover would probably also make Spain look positively depopulated in terms of British expats. Also expect there to be a great deal of people in the excolonies with German surnames and a large variety of anglo-hanoveran settlements all over the place, from German place names up and down, to German speaking Australians, English speaking ethnic German towns in South Africa and the like (hanovereans ended up all over the empire even in time they had in our timeline).

  1320. America controls the sea, Japan knows it can't beat a blockade, in WW2 they had a famine due to it when the population was heavily agricultural. Rice is fairly advanced in cultivation and allows for high population density, it just is not like wheat farming at all, which means most westerners, who are not terribly well informed about any farming, misunderstand most of it even further. This was a silly video, the true discussion would be about Japanese social and family structures and the societal norms and expectations linked them, how that has shifted to create these circumstances and what can be done in response. Not every video needs to be about international conflict, domestic problems are much more important than speculation.

  1321. There is a feminist spiritual allegory in the sacrifice at the end, where there was a Christian one in the original. This is unusual for him and thus certainly intentional.
    2
  1322. The idea of the sacred feminine is very much related to feminist interpretations of spirituality, it's pseudo pagan. This was not really constructed until the 70's, so such a framework is very out of time when usually he includes the mythological framework within its own historical and cultural context. The past films earned quite a few Christian fans, the idea of an esoteric blood sacrifice is not appealing, and not going with very obvious period elements such Christian allegory or the power of God against such a unequivocal demonic entity is out of place, and draws attention to what he did instead. It's an arthouse type film so a lot of people are already going to find it grating in pacing and insufficient handholding of the audience in relation to the narrative. The fact that the film is gratuitous (all of his are) in addition to a grim conclusion are noob unfriendly. Same with everything he's done. The issue is he built up a fanbase on our side of things and they expect thematic elements in the story and it's conclusion to be heavily contextual to the existing mythos and historical context he is taking from, they got post-modernism, and they hate post-modernism. There are several possibilities, the northman did not do great financially so he was told to change the formula, the northman was not received well by peers due to the subject and he thought better than to antagonize his meal ticket, or he's only as deep as his source material, which might well be the case, his cinematography is genius but his statements about interpretation tend to be smoothbrained, it is likely however that he was hiding his power levels as regular journalists do not tend to have an intellectual capacity exceeding that of their games journalist counterparts.

  1325. The East India company on the other hand was more straight forwardly evil, famine relief cost money while dead Indians cost nothing (actually they cost tax revenue and productivity but you can expect short term thinkers to grasp the obvious), as a result local administrators were told to take up relief on their own dime (which to be fair a few did) and survivors were brutalized in an attempt to make up for lost revenue. One of the reasons that the East India Company had such a bad reputation was that even in England it was recognised that they were terrible (to the point of people having sympathy towards the Indian mutiny, until accounts of Cowpore came back and the public sentiment turned to exacting blood and ruin).

  1326. To be frank the US can't afford what it spends at the moment and is only propped up by being the global reserve currency and thus better able to make use of debasing the currency than other countries. It also helps that most developed countries are in the house of cards and thus it isn't in their interest to topple America as the top one or really move out of line with everyone else at all, things as kept together by them all swaying together in the wind not by individual strength.

  1328. Read Rousseau, the utopia they want does not hard ethnic groups, it does not have social groups, it does not have groups. Socialism is about moving towards a utopia in which society is totally destroyed along with property and man returns to a state of nature in which he is free from all social bonds and relationships. This is a big competent of the ideology and it's surprising you don't know about it, many libertarians have written about it, along with others both on the right and left. Rousseau lays it out first, but most of the other figures vital to the formation of socialist ideology were explicitly running with that goal, much of the ideology you are talking about is merely part of their debate about the means to bring such a state about. Some socialists have as part of that taken reactionary social positions, but only because they thought that the actions they opposed risked capsizing what had been built up to that point.

  1332. Depends on the age of the teen massively, under 16 is dangerous, over 17 or 18 is the highest period of fertility and safest so long as they do not have delayed physical development. Someone who starts at 18 or 19 can have a lot more kids a lot more easily. Younger is dangerous for the mother, over 36 and especially once you get to the forties it is very dangerous compared even to that, including for the baby as the developmental difficulties are at an exceptionally high rate. Women should probably have kids at the time they currently go to university and go to university in their thirties, which should be paid for as the whole problem of finances currently is not enough children to pay down future expenses, if that is solved then it is less of a worry.

  1336. Personally I think a Christian crusader state Japan was reasonably likely if Oda Nobunaga had lived longer. He was a westophile, had a very poor relationship with the existing religions in Japan, was interested in Christianity and potential means of centralizing power and legitimacy, he also wanted to conquer Korea and China and a religious motivation would have served his purposes very well in several ways. Unlike his successors he was ambitious beyond belief and far more willing to break eggs and take risks, unlike them it is unlikely that neatly arranging his laurels was ever an objective, he was very much like Alexander in that every step was a means to the next one. Also I wouldn't be surprised if he was secretly thinking about the possible effect a religion like Christianity would have on the divine mandate of the emperor, as said he was almost inhumanly ambitious.
    2
  1337. I never said he would create a theocracy, as I heavily implied he was the type of person to see things through it's benefit to him. A conversation would have been overseen by him, allowing him to have a justification for a purge of less loyal elements, reorient the loyalties of vassals and the population from established powerbases, also for the requisitioning of existing religious land and assets, strengthening alliances with colonial powers and potentially being able to make use of their naval strength in shared goals (such as an designs on China), formulating popular support for a war against outside powers and motivating troops, on top of this there were probably many other potential reasons that I'm just not clever or well informing enough to be able to think up. An ideological force with a cynical leadership are not contradictory, Russia converted to Christianity due to the personal interests of the ruler and it has happened in many other places. If I had to guess at a historical scenario then Nobunaga would use conversation as a tool to fundamentally reform Japan in his image, with a mixture of European inspiration and personal vision, laying the groundwork for his plans, he would then monopolize the church in the east which had fundamentally been put in place by him and use it as a tool to spread influence in Korea and China, making an effort to create a fifth column and when they start to be persecuted use that as an excuse to rally the nation and European support and launch a full on attack, though by that point it would probably be his son leading it. I imagine he who today be remembered like Alexander or Frederick the Great's father and that what he created would become part of the foundation of East Asian society today. At least that's what I think he was thinking about given his interests, stated intentions and trajectory.

  1342. Yeah no, they were being abused, kids don't grow up that fast, where as victims often try to justify their abuse. I did write a long comment about this but youtube decided to be youtube so that's basically the core of it. The 70's were a bad time in terms of that sort of stuff as the sexual revolution was easy cover for abusers. If anyone reading these comments knows of something like this happening report it to the police at the very least, really I'd recommend personally intervening as the police are useless in a lot of places but at least were I live they are uniquely harsh and effective on vigilante justice (meanwhile mass systematic child sexual abuse is covered up routinely, probably not surprising since they hire criminals and are deeply corrupt). A distorted memory or account of abuse is basically the norm, disturbingly so, what you guys heard was likely a call for help constructed as an attempt to justify it to themselves by justifying it to other people. The mind doesn't like breaking so it tends to deal with stuff like that in extreme ways.

  1343. I'd say ideologies in general are just religions which want to pretend to be secular so that enlightenment fanboys (e.g. Liberals) will fall for them, add on to this ridiculous claims of being 'scientific' and you can't say they've had a shortage of idiots falling for it.

  1344. The British citizenship test isn't very hard at all so long as you remember that the correct answers aren't necessarily the true one's and the nation's true bias are very different to the one's they tend to mythologise. It's rather that the British education system is quite poor.

  1346. It is simply a difference in competence, Russia is highly corrupt to the point of having trouble functioning, China utilises corruption to prop up centralised power while ensuring that if it ever gets in the way of party interests then the state holds the power to make those responsibly wish they were never born, Putin couldn't eradicate corruption even if he tried as it is too deeply rooted at every level. This also however means that there is very little internal opposition to the whims of party leadership in China and it becomes very difficult to backtrack without undermining one's own prestige. China is in many ways a deeply flawed country and one that would be much better served by a different official state ideology however their will is something that make them truly formidable against a pitiable and morally destitute civilisation such as the west, they think nothing about crushing the lives of their citizens under their ambitions and their citizens are willing to sacrifice so long as those ambitions are delivered on. Russia on the other hand does not have a future, let alone a positive one, the communists robbed them of all potential and they were unable to forge a path towards anything better since the collapse, the west will most likely send them into the hands of China ironically, and they will likely be a valuable component of Chinese strategy, but still nothing more than a component they will be.

  1347. Depends how you count, let's remember that Stalin wiped out large portions of the Tartars, Cossacks (for about the fourth time in a row), Chechens and Volga Germans during the war, he also let two million people die of famine after it, not to mention so many disabled veterans going missing. So yeah the Germans probably didn't manage a full 60, but if you count it as Russian lost of life during the period you had the Soviet authorities themselves to make up the numbers for them. Let's not forget that when the Germans entered Russia every town and city was the scene on massacres committed by the Soviet security forces on their way out of all the prisoners and people in their files as possible anti-soviets.

  1348. Depends on the woman, most just like social prestige and confidence, a reflection of their father is another common one. There are however autistic women, and academia is full of women who idolize the general appearance of intelligence, and will be in awe of a man who sounds clever without much concern for what he said, if it's right or why it matters. Generally there is also a class distinction, people talk all the time about female fantasies, but most of the ones they talk about only apply to some women. Just as men have very different tastes depending on who they are it is the same with women. Given Tik is in a social context he will have a particular experience, but if he ran in other circles he would find very different people, though as a general rule women are socially suggestable and thus media has had a large influence in normalizing certain attitudes, America has large populations of Christians and once you get into such belief systems the value set is markedly outside the norms integrated into popular culture by media narratives.

The view of the role of both Cossack and Baltic German elites in the Russian Empire would also be interesting.

Pleasure is the only one that is generally associated with immorality. You seem to subscribe to wig history very strongly (that is the idea that we are in an inevitable march of progress towards the ideals of whoever happens to be speaking) but the reality is that human progress is tangible rather than deterministic (advances in medicine come through the efforts of researchers and doctors not the passing of time, if they made no effort there would be no results) if you cut away existing systems for the sake of it often enough all you will find is why those systems existed to begin with.

  1353. He handed 10's of thousands to 100's of thousands of Russians over to Stalin, these included prisoners of war, Russians fighting for Germany and the white emige population, old men and families, including many born outside of Russia since the revolution. You can guess what treatment they got, they were packed into cattle cars under the false pretences of British officers and we know so much about it despite the extensive cover up (details are still classified) because British soldiers tasked with the business spoke out later about the atrocities starting right in front of them as the condemned were handed over and the Soviets started with what they were known for. Churchill did this to please Stalin, and despite the fact that at the same time he was thinking about starting a war with them, shows his character. Oh, and Ukrainians involved in the holocaust (particularly against Polish civilians) were explicitly saved from this so they could work as interpreters for British intelligence. The actual war criminals were saved and innocent women and children were offered up in their place. What a great man indeed.

  1355. The fact was there was great optimism and most of it quickly dissipated when many things the common population valued (like a fair legal system, lack of corruption, effective administration and continuing economic development) failed to continue. Certainly many nationalists would say that it was worth it but none can claim that the period after independence lived up to expectation, though some typically claim the British were responsible for that as well (and not the attempt at introducing socialism so successful that most people have never heard of it and economic growth was stifled for decades). The issue was however big enough to inspire considerable efforts through education to give a nationalist interpretation and suppress the sentiment in much of the older population that things were much better before the current regime. They were successful as it happens as most of that generation are now dead and none of their concerns were even addressed. India has great potential but as I've heard many investors say it has no hope of ever fulfilling any as things stand.

  1356. I wasn't suggesting that Britain has done well out of it, India will largely trundle along and things are certainly better than they have been throughout most of their history even if it was by no means the golden age so many were hoping for. Meanwhile Britain is in very dire straits and has long been in the process of trying to set the boat on fire. In many ways the reasons we lost the empire (hideous incompetence, a bad political system and and an elite hostile to the national interest) have not changed one bit. Equally India hasn't really played a part in any of it, any wealth (which is a great deal less than the nationalists claim) from India that the British gained was either wasted on the world wars or handed over to the American's as part of those conflicts, Indian immigrants are if anything a stabilising force rather than pursuing any notion of revenge and so it you really want to cheerlead our doom I can only recommend you take up the Pakistani flag instead.

Just ban this stuff, just ban women from work and education, just force people to marry if they aren't by 25, bring back the old laws around family that existed prior to 1945. The preservation of the people is the first interest of the national body, not letting people loose from social bonds and responsibilities and calling it freedom.

  1358.  @VR36030  The free democratic method is mass importation, if the current regime isn't overturned by the native population it will be once the new population take over, our options are basically an end to liberalism, or a Islamisation of Europe happening under the logic of keeping the pensions paid up. terrifying and unnatural than the past. The 20th century was way worse than anything that happened in medieval Europe short of the Mongols (which only the Hungarians, Poles and Russians really had to deal with). But medieval times weren't really authoritarian, centralised power wasn't that strong, they ran on very strong social institutions. Many different communities lived in relative peace, bound only by faith and oaths of loyalty (under nationalism the deportation or forced integration minority groups was necessary as the idea of popular sovereignty made them potential nodes of power). A state education system is way more authoritarian on it's own than anything they had, it also meant that the values and skills passed down to children were subject to evolutionary logic, today we manage to retain utterly bizarre values only by the indoctrination of the youth into a dominant system of belief, one which is probably behind the fertility problems. abortion are banned and the parties invested in them are purged from the elite class then most of these issue will have nowhere to go but resolution, the majority of the population as ever will form their sense of morality around the law and tell themselves that they always supported what they are compelled to do.

  1364.  @Dac_DT_MKD  Evolution is uncaring, those who pass on their genes matter, the rest are irrelevant. The people who chase robots or cartoon women are no different from dead in the process of evolution and the values that allow such a situation is thus pressured to die also.  We happen to be heading into a population bottleneck with very low birthrates as things are which other than most likely laying waste to wellfare states due to an unmanageable tax burden, will mean that the values and norms of today will undergo extreme pressures over the next century or two which will likely kill them, in previous conditions it was value systems like Christianity and Confucianism which flourished, we will have to see if we end up with them again or new systems are come into being with but considering that people have been starving themselves based on the same grouping of ideologies for a century now my bet is that they won’t have anything very impressive to show.

  1365. The revolt started for a number of reasons, religious distrust, caste tensions (the British had started hiding lower caste people in some of there other armies and the long standing units were scared for their prestige), the policy of lapse which meant that you couldn't let adopted children inherit the British would take the kingdom, also long standing problems as the British weren't actually in charge a British private company with complex agreements with the actual British government was and they sucked pretty hard to the point of them being viewed negatively even in Britain. The rebels revolted and many killed their officers and then went and killed their families and occasionally even servants, other units revolted but helped the officers leave, this seems to have as much to do with the discipline and personal regard for honour of the individual units as personal relationships with officers, different units also had different motivations for rebellion. Even early in the revolt many Indian servants showed great bravery and personally risked themselves to save women and children, there were also Sikhs, half-white half-indian and individual other soldiers would died trying to protect civilians even in obviously hopeless circumstances, obviously a huge number of British officers and male civilians died similarly. The rebels then besieged groups of refugees and soldiers (usually a mix of British, civilian volunteers and loyalist Indians) while the British raced to respond, most of India did not rebel though some parts decided to sit on the fence. The Sikhs immediately supported the British despite having been recently conquered as they didn't like the rebels and thought that Indian soldiers had been arrogant towards them when in their eyes they had been defeated by the British not the Indians, Gurkhas also immediately responded as did tribes of Afghanis who had been fighting the British up to that point, importantly the loyalty of such groups was absolute. Many British had sympathy at first back in Britain and thought it was another American revolution, but then a big event happened. A besieged group of civilians surrendered to the rebels, they had run out of supplies and were mostly women and children, the were disarmed and taken to boats, then they were betrayed and the men killed, after that the women and children were taken to a house and all murdered in a very inhumane way, and after that thrown done a well, shortly after this the British recaptured the site of the Cowpore massacre and went wild, many of both the British and loyal Indians had known people killed and many were the relations of the tightknit officers in India, the British after that killed most prisoners, non-rebel Indians were disgusted or saw the response in advance and moved to back the British, the news got out into the world and even Britain's enemies announced revulsion and started supporting Britain, the British public called for the death of every rebel and people who had supported them made themselves scarce, the British then marched all new troops through cowpore and command started turning a blind eye to everyone associated with the rebels being killed, all villages where Europeans were refused aid or murdered were burned, rebels were tied into pigskins and hanged or shot or were strapped to a cannon and blown, the British started launching extremely aggressive attacks with bayonets even when greatly outnumbered and became mad with rage, any personal accounts of the period note that many many officers died in suicidal attacks, those with no family left often felt nothing to live for but vengeance, loyalist Indian troops were similarly fired up and started acting rashly, Gurkhas were of course always madly brave, though there loyalty meant use occasionally as police troops to stop the worst excesses by blood maddened troops. The British then started the siege of Delhi despite being outnumbered by the defenders, they made a breach but the commanders feared the casualties, a hero of the conflict so far Nicholson then threatened them with a pistol that he would shoot them if they didn't order the attack, he went into the attack himself and died, despite high casualties the rebels were broken and many massacred and the rest of the conflict became clean up and reprisals, though the old officers never thought they went far enough and many British permanently living in Indian remained paranoid practically up until independence. The Sikhs became favoured, the British took direct control of India and they started recruiting from loyal minority groups with similar cultural attitudes towards warfare, duty and the like to their own. These days Indians call it the first independence war despite the fact most Indians opposed it and that it likely would have have fractured India if it had succeeded due to a lack of any unifying cause other than fighting the British and a lack even of that among anyone other than those who actually rose up. It could possibly have succeeded but almost certainly would have splintered after that.

  1367.  @DarwinSmyth  That language is a bit dense and I’m not sure I fully understood. This is a youtube comments section not a polite dinner party you shouldn't have to worry about causing offence. I see no reason to destroy tradition for the sake of it, and it seems like often only after the fact it becomes obvious why the tradition was in place due to the effect its lack has. I have no particular scruples about changing society but I tend to think it should only be to the benefit of society itself. Confucianism and Christianity are both family based ideologies and both put considerable emphasis on how they think families should run and on ensuring they bear decedents, modern ideologies are very often based on the pursuit of money or the chasing of power, they are also overly reliant on influencing centralised education systems to ensure their spread rather than on the followers having kids, indeed kids are an afterthought and the personal freedom and expression of adults is often prioritised over their wellbeing. Humans are logical creatures who follow ideas, but if those ideas are resulting in unhappiness or are unsustainably over generations then I would tend to classify them as bad ones no matter their claims of moral legitimacy.
    2
  1368.  @DarwinSmyth  The flaw of Confucianism is certainly its conservatism with many opportunities throughout history being lost due to it, but population decline and a massive rise of stress without outside factors like mongols was never a concern. Christianity is not nearly that simple, if it makes sense it is both very individualistic and very communal at the same time, the social and political life is the life of the group but one has personal responsibility within that group due to the very particular view of morality it has, the extreme individualism is not Christian in a religious sense but comes out of people who made the assumption that the society that Christianity built is free of the moral foundations that built it, it might be a bit confusing but europeans fight with ideas like wars which means that a great deal can change over a short time. Basically the ideas of liberalism though they are very much based in a Christian view of the world are secular and outside of American conservatives the ideals of Rousseau are also very influential but are also downright anti-Christian, there is a belief that freedom and goodness are the natural state of man and that any impediment to personal freedom is oppressive (Rousseau also thought the natural human passions, vices as christians call them, are good because they are natural, I’m frankly surprised he wasn’t burnt). If you get into old Christian literature you will quickly discover that it is deeply at odds with modern western society, even if many church's attempt to placate or fit in to the new ideology and some were always a bit on the strange side (Quakers and Jehovahs Witnesses).  The are no ideologies that don’t have up and down sides, they are ultimately a mediation of different peoples interests for the sake of a vision, but I don’t really think they become toxic aside from the effect power has on drawing in the power hungry, many of the flaws are inherent to the structure itself and the view them as toxic is often a matter of what values you prioritise in your perspective, but they ultimately will have a real world effect and values will have to face reality. If people don’t have families society will collapse and if people don’t have meaning they won’t be contented. We have to find a solution to our problems and taking about the flaws of the solution is irrelevant if they outweigh the cost of not implementing them.

  1373. Surprised this comment section is full of dispensationlists, the thing happening is that most younger people have wider access to information and know that it is not a stance expressed in Christian theology prior to the very specific development in the context of English non-conformists and early 20th century study Bibles. Many young people lean traditional theologically.

  1374. Why would the UK end WWII, stopping a dominant European power is basic to British interests throughout history and by all rights the war should have started earlier given the actions of Germany. The thing to look at is how they pursued the war, Churchill made some very interesting decisions when it came to the Americans. Britain had no reason whatsoever to stop the war as the Italians were pushovers and the Germans had internal issues (e.g. highly dysfunctional manufacture, ideologically bound treatment of people who could have been very valuable to their cause and economic mismanagement of absurd proportions) which would have meant their loss could only be delayed by the incompetence of their enemies. I have honestly never got the argument, it seems like it comes out of apologism and people being uncritical of the denialist literature.

  1375. Lost first reply because youtube. In short Germany tried to become self-sufficient under Hitler's belief in the shrinking markets theory and to do this they screwed with trade. This was not a good idea as Germany didn't have enough natural resources to support it's industry and worse because they didn't have enough food. This meant that Germany had to cannibalize the resources and industries of the places they conquered (and that if they hadn't conquered anything they would have had to have given up of the whole thing or the system would have collapsed). It also meant that they had to confiscate food for the occupied nations to feed themselves. The most famous example is the Netherlands however it was a hell of a lot worse in the East, it's just hard to quantify as there were a lot of other terrible things going on there at the time so the records are iffy, also Soviet sources aren't great even when covering the stuff they had a responsibility to know about (and the German stuff was a. Coming from the people doing the nasty stuff and b. Is full of holes as it ends up that paper burns well if you bomb it). Greece might be a better example as they got things pretty bad, thanks to the Germans taking food as part of the deliberate policy 300'000 people died of starvation and more would have without the allies opening up their sea blockages in order to deliver emergency food aid (with the Turkish ironically also playing a major role in food relief). 10% of the Greek population died under occupation and similar numbers might have died in other places but it's hard to tell as they were more active in more traditional forms of murder in many of those places (Poland lost 20% for example and God knows about the Soviets as they liked fudging numbers at the best of time), there is considerable evidence however of mass starvation directly caused by the policy of food confiscation.

  1377. Bombing has been about logistics for a while, it is preferably to not kill civilians as cold, hungry and homeless ones will burden the state far more than the dead. I'm not sure that the Russians can get themselves out of the situation they have created but the idea that civilian terror campaigns are the objective of attacks on civilian infrastructure has been outdated since WWII (not that that has stopped the US from repeatedly using it in conflicts, but the US has a somewhat poor military record, especially taking into account their overwhelming resources).

  1381.  @mamavswild  One of the rules of economics is that value is subjective, if you have a culture with a different value system they won't even have the framework to think about things in the same way as you. A highly religious society in which children are valued over material prosperity are just going to approach things differently. The west was also the richest place in the world back when women were having 7 kids on average, what we are seeing isn't advancement (indeed the west is only continuing due to immigration at this point) but the results of a new set of values taking hold and the sexual revolution facilitating them. Also look up the fertility rate of the middle east, other than Afghanistan it is now below replacement.

He had a much less prominent role (compared to say Zengi or Baibars) and was mostly known for hattin and taking Jerusalem in popular histories up until the colonial period when he was one of the few muslims that europeans were likely to know of let alone be favourable toward. That plus later movies and books popularised an image of him drawn from Christian accounts and interpretations and differing depictions tended to build upon it rather than going back to the foundations. Modern movies like kingdom of heaven (and some tv documentaries around the same time) took things almost to the point of parody with him being shown as a near perfect paragon of virtue in contrast to crusaders whom they demonised to fit in with modern self hatred and dubious historical interpretations (which is to say that its so over the top as to be comical, especially considering they idealised Saladin, used muslim troops, ruled over muslim subjects in much the same way that muslims ruled over Christians and had muslim vassals).

Belarus would shoot all its political prisoners and citizens on watchlists before the West could get to them and then wade into the Russian civil war headfirst, trying to bring the old guard on side and claiming continuity with the collapsed state structures. Syria would become even more of an Iranian puppet and have to worry even more about Turkish intentions. Any new democracies would be barely disguised authoritarian oligarchies, which come to think all said states already are.

  1386.  @observationsfromthebunker9639  Fascinating, I guess I'm too stuck in the Russian steppe context, having read a lot about Cossacks. Thinking about it I didn't account for the fact that western military horses tended to need a lot of care and feed, where as many steppe breeds can live off grass, and are incredibly hardy. Probably not feasible to set up a horse breeding program in the middle of a war. It's of personal interest as I'm related to Banastre Tarleton. Still need to read his book though.
    2
  1387.  @observationsfromthebunker9639  By horse breeding program I meant one breeding steppe horses, not feasible. The Americans of course already had horses, but most would be tied up in farming and transportation, if they were a few decades later they would have experience of the french practice of seizing massive numbers of farm and transport horses to mount cavalry with, but I don't know the extent of that in the revolution, as it has serious consequences for the farmers. As part of a total war it's normal, but the revolution wasn't a total war.

  1388. Meanwhile the Catholics and Orthodox are converting young American Anglos and reject not just the enlightenment, not just parliamentary supremacy but everything post-reformation, supporting a return to theologically patriarchal political systems in which A King acts within the great chain of being under obligation to God for the people, in which oaths, family and loyalty to ethnic kin is paramount and the developments of the western world not just misdirected but evil. Increasingly there is a contingent looking to reforge Christendom, and consecrate America as a second Roman Imperium under Christ. Though these people are not actively hostile to the Christian Nationalists they do make the media paranoia around them look as overblown as it is, as while Christian Nationalists just want to go back to Christian cultural influence on political structures the Trad Christians want to build a new civilisation in the image of an old one, and they are perfectly happy to discard or repurpose every American institution and tradition since before the founding to do it. We should expect to see more of them, as they are men with ideas and a purpose within a political and cultural context defined by a destitution of such things.

  1394. On the point of individuals and also elites I feel like it is worthwhile to spilt hairs. In the case of elites there are certain people who dominate it some sections and others do not have the time to be Jack of all trades and thus must submit to their expertise and leadership, depending on who such people come to their positions the actual worth of such people can vary greatly, however most people do not have the knowledge to evaluate this and thus can't perceive whether they are good or bad, unfortunately they largely believe what they are told. Getting rid of the elite as a concept is unfeasible as without authority people have a nasty habit of behaving like headless chickens when a fox gets into the coop (and generally have a great deal of trouble coordinating on anything) however the nature of power means that the elite will become fox's themselves due to a lack of accountability and the reliance of their victims upon them. The other solution is now the elite are filtered out from society, democracy self-selects for narcissism and power hungryness, meritocracy for nepotism, seniority for age, strength for instability, aristocracy for whatever the predecessor was like and appointment for whatever the people who appoints thinks is valuable. All systems have flaws but we can see some especially bad expressions of them in modern institutions, careful attention to this would be greatly value if only one had power over it. The point on individuals is that you are unusually disagreeable, most people are an expression of their upbringing, knowledge and attempt to fit into wider categories and tow a safe line. Society is very relevant to how a significant portion of people act and just saying you're an individual doesn't change that, it can help them if they are brought into traditions which have a long history due to having use that most people are incapable of foreseeing but it can also add an extra negative pressure if their is social pressure to conform to bad ideas that are being propagandised, whichever way it is always a factor as individualism isn't natural to humans (who are a group animal) but is rather a development of western society and philosophical thought.

  1401. Because he was unironically a terrible political and military leader who had a long career of failure and was in large part responsible for the immediate weakening and destruction of the British Empire during, pre and post war. He was however pretty skilled a myth making and had more than a bit of a hand in the post-war narrative, though it is a shame he used it to beautify himself rather than do anything useful like lay out the hostility of the US and USSR to Britain's interests and the need to reorient away from them to preserve any of the national interest or indeed sovereignty, but considering that he was personally involved in empowering the US at cost to the Empire he was in no way the man to do it.

  1403. There is a large Korean population in Central Asia, Stalin moved them there after taking loads of Koreans in Japanese service prisoner at the end of the war. Presumably the North didn't want them back. Russia also has quite a few Koreans but I'm not sure how much of a stable population they form. Loads of Japanese were also taken prisoner, but there was a 90% mortality rate in the workcamps and most of the rest eventually went home or have grandchildren in Russia who you would not know have a Japanese background, helps that in many parts of Russia there are Asian groups descended from the nomads who have all sorts of levels of slav mixed in, despite the stereotypes these are not seen as Russians in an ethnic sense, though they tend to identify as Russian nationalisticly, this is however a fairly feudal concept of nation, and before the soviets the relationship between these very diverse groups and the state was literally a personal feudal relationship of loyalty to the Romanov dynasty, interestingly some of these groups can be pretty politically reactionary around the subject (e.g. bring the Tsar back, deport the central asians, retake the Empire) despite being of minority culture, religion and ethnic status (the famous meme of the Russian Imperialist Tartar arguing with the westernized Belarusian). South Russia is pretty fascinating ethnographicially, you have people from ancient history kicking about like the Avars and Alans (who were the big steppe threat before and after the Huns for the late Roman Empire), and of course the Mongols, Chechens, Armenians, Tartars, Turkic people's and most notably the vestiges of the Cossacks.

Given his reputation in other sources and the view of him with get from his diary he was a no nonsense, intelligent, fair minded and highly religious man with a strong sense of justice and community even if he's noted as not always able to behead in one swing. The legal system at the time was also far more sophisticated than people give it credit for and Muslim and other sources note the Europeans as being obsessively legalistic and anal about (supposedly irrelevant) details.

  1406. Look, I don't know how many times people have told you this but altruism obviously does not make sense in an individualist moral framework, it's just that very few people in the past had such a moral system as they were engaged in group strategies and the social structures were descendents of the clan system.
    2
  1407. A big factor in that combination not having already happened is that it doesn't have an associated denomination, the Latin Catholics would probably fit with it the best as they are very much the descendants of the medieval Christians for whom this general philosophy was dominant, however the hierarchy of the wider Catholic Church is very hostile to actual Christianity being like most Church hierarchies religiously liberal. The orthodox church has been bringing in loads of people from the dissident right, but they also have serious internal issues and their theology is Byzantine in origin and fits poorly with the Germanic cultural heritage that Traditional Catholicism is utterly interwoven with. Protestantism will probably try a take over, but they will fail, they caused the decline in Christianity in the first place and they are unable to build a civilisation as they have spent literally centuries arguing about definitions due to their distaste for dogma, they create a political vacuum for liberalism by it. The traditional Christians are monarchist and aristocratic, and so are the Darwinists, but Christians make such a structure work as it is defined not by power politics but belief in responsibility of the high to the low under God. We will see what happens but it will probably need a political impetus rather than occurring spontaneously. Also neither side of such an alliance have a particularly strong resource base.

  1412. England is also considerably more conservative that any of the other potential states in this proposed union and would hold disproportionate sway in it due to its population, economy and perhaps even culturally and historical reasons. On top of this the unity of great Britain is under the most plausible threat it ever has been not so much thanks the SNP own actions as much as the fact that they are now for all intents and purposes the main opposition party and thus the only thing holding the conservatives back from complete and in their eyes permanent control over the political landscape is simply giving them what they want and laughing as they drown and the fact that that would be monumentally stupid from the perspective of the long term interests of the country. The political class and elite in all country's are also like minded in that they are disparaging of the historical and cultural connections to a much greater degree that the general public and thus dislike the idea intrinsically. Such a move would require a sea change in thought and policy no matter how logical and beneficial it may ultimately be.

  1414. So you support evil, got it. God should treat a poor beggar child and a sadistic pedo who killed them the same in the afterlife, what a warped morality your prefect image of God must be. If you are meaning do you go to hell for things you don't want to observe then that isn't up to anyone but God himself, repentance and the significance of the sin matters as do wider circumstances. Two soldiers might kill in war but one go to hell for enjoying it without remorse while the other is safe for considering it his duty. Likewise looters who steal food may be at risk while those who do so out of genuine desperation are deemed justified. To put it simply you have to be a good person in reality rather than fulfilling the minimum social requirements to look such.

    2
  1418. It is actually slightly more complicated than the belief system of these people in a vacuum. These guys were obviously bouncing off the ideas of the enlightenment but also the plans and worldview of evangelical Christianity (which believes the resurrection of Israel is necessary for the resurrection of Christ, other Christians disagree to put it mildly) and the prophesy of Jews themselves, which include ideas of the messiah being a world conqueror (part of the reason they rejected Jesus was him not fulfilling this interpretation, he claimed to offer the conquest of death through the salvation of the soul, rather than the dominance of a people as was hoped, especially in the context of the time) and the idea that the people's of the world would intermix and be ruled by the chosen people. Of course the degree to which this is taken seriously or actively facilitated varies, but these projects are certainly real to some people and it is reasonably widely known in ideological circles that they are. Of course this is not getting into other groups like freemasons, socialists of every shape and size, fabians and the groups spoken of in this video from also having all sorts of goals, plans and nonsense. Also Christians would largely agree with the critique of liberalism, though they would say that the focus is ones obligations to others and the social networks they live within, as well as of course a Christian life. They would say that one should be loyal to the justly constituted authorities (which was the Roman emperor for a lot longer than one would think) but would not have the same pre-conditions before that, to them a Hungarian loyal to the Hapsbergs is much more justifiable than one loyal to a nationalist conception of the state, as to Christians the state is an extension of the patriarchal authority of God, and thus a King is father to a people if he takes on the responsibilities of fatherhood, irrespective of if he speaks the same language or is of those people. This is one of the reasons why Europe was for so long so localised and mixed, it was not the role of the state to act as the representation of a single people just as it wasn't for a single class, though religion was more controversial.

  1423. Basically all the far-leftists I know are ex-Nazi's and vice versa. It's a bit tragic in some cases, a guy I know who used to be very far right has gone totally off the rails since becoming left wing as the ideology has morally justified what is now a drug addiction and he's seems to be getting taken advantage of by older men through the whole pro-degeneracy angle of the movement. If I hear he's dead in the next few years honestly I won't be surprised. I pretty heavily dislike the far right but moral stances do have an effort on how people act and think and self-destructive ideas can very easily cause more harm than hateful and intolerant ones.

  1424. Not many, and mostly back during the Victorian era, expanding Pakistan or guarding from Afghan raids. Pakistan has been an American ally. This is more innately in their culture, they did this on mass to the Bangladeshis back in the 70's when they tried to break off and got invaded by Pakistan, the systematic nature has been compared to that here.

  1425. Oh God, you're a critical theorist. The issue with the left isn't that they betray the revolution it's that they continue along the logical path that their foundations set out for them. To win we need to dig up and expose the foundation's to the light and replace them with our own, but our own are not something that can be half arsed, we must either do the work of coming up with something totally new (something which is in some ways impossible as everything is to some extent defined by it's context, and I will straight out come out and say that it realistically wouldn't be possible anyway as the people of today aren't bright enough, we would just end up with another fascism or communism), the issue is that foundations are all ultimately faith based. Our options in terms of conservative faith structure with a proven record of being able to support a society long term are traditional Catholic (the basis of pre reformation philosophy, e.g. most of the stuff that still holds up) and Orthodox Christianity (for an Imperial system), Islam (has a problem with not believing in objective reality), Confucianism (I would consider too conservative) and perhaps legalism if you tinker with it enough. Protestantism was good for a while but seems to have a problem with killing itself, with the number of branches a better version might come to the fore simply by being the last left standing in an evolutionary struggle against itself.

  1433. In other senses Christianity in its traditional form is also very much the continuation of Rome, but yes it is also intrinsically Germanic, and the Germanics are intrinsically Christian after centuries of having every element of their existence shaped by it. In a sense Christianity is the Pagan religion of Europe, especially when it's opponents lay their ideologies on a rejection of Christ and a desecration of divine patriarchy (so the representation of God the father).

  1437.  @LuisAldamiz  Zugarramurdi was only a single village in a region wide investigation, it just had the most ridiculous (and thus notable) claims made by the inhabitants. They didn’t need to round up a random 7000 indeed the issue for them was that the moment the church announced an investigation they would be swamped with allegations and confessions (which became very dangerous when the investigators brought into the hysteria themselves, which though rare ended in some of the bloodiest witch hunts, most witch hunts were decentralised and happened during power vacuums), most of the time these weren’t even contemplated as genuine but dealt with as local feuds or possibly other crimes being misattributed in the case of the more damning ones (in which case they would be tried as such not as witchcraft). Tellingly of supposed witnesses a great many were children. Only those those whom claimed personal involvement and refused to back down ever faced torture, about 6 died of torture or other factors before trial in this witch hunt.  Place sizes are rarely consistent over time and for rural locations its not unusual to become smaller.  Modern nationalism and historical events rarely mix well as investment in things happening a certain way will at some point lead to disappointment or denial.  I’ve read dozens as the number but as the primary source is lost I can’t cite that with certainty, your sources may well be better than mine.

  1438.  @LuisAldamiz  Sorry for not using exact language, by region I was referring to the whole of Navarre but having looked it up it looks like the second phase covered all of the Basque country. I’m afraid I don’t know Spanish terminology nor administrative structures as I’m not Spanish. During the first phase proceedings were held in Logrono and covered The Kingdom of Navarre, Alava, Biscay, Gipuzkoa, La Rioja plus the North of Burgos and Soria and resulted in 31 auto-da-fe or public penance of whom six were burn and a further five body’s of deceased accused were burnt. The second phase focused on The Basque and led by Alonso Frias (who would later established the principal that witch accusations were rooted in fantasy and needed firm, independent and corroborating evidence and that proceeding witch trials had been shoddy for going forward at all) he collected 1802 confessions 1384 of which were from children and 1796 of which were retracted, the whole case was then dropped before it could go further. Zugarramurdi became famous for claims about black mass made by people there were particularly vivid and detailed and thus it entered the popular consciousness as the focal point of the trials and as a famous example of a witch trial in general as they were often sparse on details. Supposed pre-christian religion practices are more often than not medieval in origin as the medieval church could be pretty bonkers or illogical to later religious sensibilities. It’s not white washing to correct historical myths, hardly compatible to holocaust denialism as with the holocaust the number of estimated dead are only going up alongside clarity of events, there is no wide public belief in billions dying in it so no necessity to debunk the concept.

  1439. I was quite confused recently when I found out someone was paying hundreds of thousands for fully bespoke cabinets and the like only to demand it all be made out of the same stuff and look the same as Ikea, the craftsman was not pleased and was worried that the result could not show the worth of hiring him instead of just buying flatpack no matter what work he put in, I've seen some of his other work and it was a real waste, for the same price they could have had something timeless in a wood anyone could tell the quality of.

  1443. Good luck reforming it, the academia is rotten to the point it makes me depressed and many teachers despite the general decline in intelligence are thicker than the children they are teaching. Standards are basically non-existent so long as you can meet targets and aren't politically incorrect. Frankly I feel it would be worth it to kick out all females from employment just to get rid of the vast majority of the worst academics and teachers. It's hard to work in the field when you can see the damage it is doing, I would be very enthusiastic about reform but realistically it is so far off that we will have to prioritise community organisation with and aim of creating a political network first, basically the very first step to doing anything as the structure itself is hostile to change or improvement.

  1445. The theory on Hitler's God is wrong, I looked into it, that symbol is given meaning (made up meaning not corresponding very closely to the historical) by one of the esoterics that influenced the movement in its foundational roots. Interestingly the modern ones have an interpretation very current in Christian orientated academia at the time, that the Germanic people's (the A word because they also counted Slavs and Celts, though different people categorised them so that historical groups they liked were in their one) were the descendants of Noah and that the elite noble class had retained mystical truths of that time but even they and especially the lower orders had devolved, thus Christ corrected, but also made them the chosen as those who rejected him became servants of the devil rather than remaining as they were. As they saw it the perfection of their people was realised by the correction, but they had always been the most pure descendants of Adam. A lot of this is to do with the Scythians and the Goths (who they think are the Royal Bloodline of Scythia). Odin is thought to have been a descendent of Noah who like Rurik became idolized over time as they sunk into ancestor veneration in a twisted acknowledgement of their ultimate father. As said this is an interpretation the most historically obsessed ones are offering now, and they are mostly getting it from figures and books prominent at the time of the authentic movement. It does allow them to reconcile their Darwinist beliefs with the Christian norms and perspective of the time.

  1447. One of the biggest mistakes of imperial policy, America was very obviously the main threat to British global interests and yet we were continually blinded by a Whig sentimentality. The opportunity to balkenise the US was a unique opportunity. Of course the repeal of the corn laws, British investment and the treasonous actions of certain politician during the war in giving that wealth and practically all the rest of the wealth of the Empire away to the very state most hostile to us to win a war against a power which couldn't existentially threaten British power and indeed didn't even care to were also to blame. In a way the roots of the problem go back to those of our own civil war, the creation of liberalism and the circumstances and limits of it's usurpation of power meant that our political class would always hold America up as an ideal while flagrantly insulting the very responsibilities towards our own people which they had usurped from the King. This is not to get into the religious aspects, nor the open corruption of such an excuse of a political system.

  1448. And what to those groups have in common, a very strong society. The travellers basically avoid entanglement with the state in the first place, they marry under the legal age and don't tell the authorities they have children so they won't have to send them to school or deal with social services. Honestly it's the correct way of going about things, the state is the enemy of society, even in our spheres people still submit themselves to official channels and suffer for it. Social services isn't there to help children, it's there to stop their parents from doing so.

  1450. For context in the pre-occupation Japanese government assassinations were a very common way of directing politics, usually by underground factions of young military officers (despite the stereotypes they mostly weren't from samurai families but rather from the agricultural peasantry, they were used to hardship and utterly fanatical militarists, nationalists and supporters of the divinity and supremacy of the Emperor, the Imperial prescript on education had emphasised they they be indoctrinated into such ideals). Even high military commanders feared assassination if they didn't fully support 'patriotic' actions such as multiple wars which were started by insubordinate local military forces, unsurprisingly the whole political situation was a shitshow.

  1456. Stalin was a Russian imperialist who continued the russification polices of Alexander III and on top of that he won WW2 an event that if lost would have lead to the Russians facing their own final solution by the Nazis and an event that is thus very important to the national myth. As a result they are more than happy to sweep under the rug his own genocides, mass killings, oppression, corruption, undermining of the long term prospects of Russia and the freedom he gave to lackeys like beria to molest individual members of the populous however they wished. He was also unlike those who seceded him dedicated to making the system work rather than being content to sail a sinking ship he however did so with little regard to the cost of human life nor the value of maintaining anything that have been of use in making Russia powerful in the first place (because few of them aligned with Soviet ideology). Lenin and Trotsky were similar in many way's if not worse within the actions even if they didn't quite manage the scale and it's odd to say the least that people outside of Russia and non-marxist historians still seem to have a rosy view of them when they made most fascist dictators outside of Hitler look like girl scouts. The criticism of Stalin within Russia will likely increase as they come to terms with how much damage he did. I doubt the Russians with ever self-flagellate like the Germans do about things, after all Stalin always made sure to keep ethnic Russians well represented in the casualty lists (though of course even more so if they had polish sounding names or lived in a Volga town with a German name).

  1457. People aren't universal in values and culture, I feel that people who insist they are should be made to plead their case to isis in the same way as people who refute cause and effect should be with gravity. Warfare has been endemic across human history not because people enjoy dying but because irreconcilable differences are common between different groups of people with different understandings and values, even among people with the same foundational understandings (such as Catholicism in medieval europe) there were more than enough squabbles to go around. If you introduce people who's only contact with western ideals, understandings and values was colonial imperialism then they generally aren't really going to integrate into the bewildering and perverse society they find themselves in, nor with they feel compelled by its moral restrictions or general sentiments. You will have all the consideration of the Anglo-Saxons after the defeat of the Romano-British, e.g. none, rather active malice.

  1458. Logistics mostly, all these weapons were very good against the Chinese but they didn't have the ability to switch over due to limited resources and capabilities with all the commitments they had. Design also had the problem of increasing hostility between armed services and the fact that prestige was more important than sheer quality if you wanted something approved, you better have influential friends otherwise the commission would go to someone with high military rank. The politics by assassination really created a climate of fear and made people act in a way irrational if you don't thank in the context of young officers murdering politicians for not approving of their interpretation of patriotism in the right why, their were loads of different little factions of officers who did this so everyone was on eggshells as different things could insult different people and you likely wouldn't have even known about them before they targeted you.

  1459. Psychology is important, when faced with a charge unsupported infantry on open ground tend to run for it and be cut down. They were also highly effective against units that were already disorganised or broken, sometimes they would break a line with tanks and send in the cavalry to clean up. Also scared men tend not to be good shots, the less trained the men the more likely cavalry could roll over them, though this applied to the Russians more so than the Germans and German aligned Cossacks were effective, even if they were usually used for garrison and anti-partisan duties.

  1460. Humans are socially and evolutionary designed to live in groups, the exploitation of people by propaganda is very often the exploitation of human particularities of thought and behaviour caused by this. We have throughout history lived in family based social structures and localised communities, indeed early forms of state such as monarchy are formed in resemblance to these. While the dystopian control we currently live under is awful a totally individualized atomized society is also a hellscape, given the Rousseauian inspiration of or current order and the potential of social organisation to act as something devolved from the state such a society is not actually against the values and interests of our current benevolent friends in government and the unofficial state tendrils, indeed they seem to quite like the idea of humanity as totally reliant on them and alienated from anything but the system.

  1462. Considering their conduct in the Anglo-sikh wars I think the martial aspects are probably overblown, the Sikhs, British and Afghanis didn't have a very high respect for their bravery at all, in several battles they had to be hit by the flats of the swords of their officers to not mill about headlessly while being shot at by cannon. A big part of why the Sikhs joined the British in suppressing the mutiny was that they felt the sepoys hadn't won their victory and had been impudent to treat actual warriors so disdainfully despite that. The Afghan tribes simply saw them as easy pickings, and the British praised their artillery but were generally happy that the rest of them were the troops they were as without it the situation might have been much worse.

  1463. Lots and lots of War crimes against the large colonial settler populations in the North and a big refuge crisis as they fled before the red army. In South Korea the Americans were reluctant to let them go as the Japanese were effective and compliant administrators and they knew what a pain it would be to build up those skills among the native population. They were however repatriated and the Americans would mostly replace them with former collaborators and proceed to complain about their Imperial Japanese outlook on militarism, democracy and war crimes.

  1464. The biggest leap is the first, after that despite all the talk it's quite common to want a lot more, the main impediment these days is people waiting too long, the decline in birth rate is almost entirely people who waited too long and never had any, parents are having the same number of children they did 50 years ago, there are just less parents.

  1465. Ok, the meaning of what you wanted to know is that North America was the most liberal state at the time, patriarchy is another way of understanding the system of monarchy, it is a political system evolved out of the patriarchal role of clan fathers, and within Christianity it is a hierarchical reflection of the relationship of God to the universe, in other words patriarchy is meant as the imitation of the God of the world by the King's of the world, or the emperor (the Roman emperor being the secular head of the Church, and why the Pope created the Holy Roman Emperor, as well as the centre of much of Europe's political drama prior to the reformation, this is also why Moscow is the Third Rome) if you are getting into the medieval and period Russian conception of the role of monarchy. He means that he rejects the divine mandate of kings, and is willing to accept or even praise the slavery of individuals or people's if it means freedom from patriarchal government in the form of monarchies, this could also be applied to aristocracy, as they are a rug down the same hierarchy. This does not mean that Marx did not like the lifestyle of aristocrats, just that he wanted to make a system in which his logic decided who they would be (his friends and himself no doubt) and without the concepts of responsibility and duty that are inherent to most justifications of aristocratic power and wealth. This is part of the reason why the aristocratic power of the communist elites proved to be so much worse than previous elites towards their population, they have a responsibility to the idea, not the people. You could tease out more, but to a liberal of the period what he said made total sense, even if it would be more than controversial among politically liberal evangelicals and non-conformists (this was the period of the Christian revival, there were tons of 'Christian' socialists), who were very anti-slavery.

  1468. @Empyrean_Eternity Polite aren’t you. From what I’ve seen they are about as informed as Americans are about the holocaust, e.g. not at all. Teachers don’t tell people to memorise anything only for the test as that would make themselves sad about their role in society but the fact is that only a minority of students will have even the slightest bit of interest in the subject being taught and even then it likely because they feel that it will be of use to them somehow or they have a personal connection. Why should people have facts irrelevant to their day to day life forced upon them by those in the minority like you or me who do care and find it of interest. I was pointing out that western media like to use the fact that the Japanese people as a whole aren’t obsessed with the crimes of the past meanwhile their own knowledge barely accedes what they looked up on wikipedia before writing the article, they falsely claim the lack of knowledge is deliberate policy by the state and they either don’t hold the same standpoint in theoretical terms towards their own country or hold exactly the same in real terms and thus are equal opportunity's in the publishing of poorly researched click bait condemning a nation morally because its students slack off in class somewhat and forget stuff once it’s no longer on their revision list.

  1470. Welcome to socialist morality. Thank you for talking about the systematic rapes, it is an aspect which is very often whitewashed even by historians when talking about the most horrific of regimes, the other violence is very often justified under the twisted logic of the motivating ideology but sexual violence is a personal and individual evil which can not be pinned to dogmatism but choice. The whitewash has even happened with the Nazi's themselves, with many of there other crimes being widely published while one of the most widespread is barely spoken of, the public do not have time to deeply immense themselves in history so it is necessary that matters of importance are openly disseminated even if their reality causes personal discomfort, it is not at though such regimes exactly did much that shouldn't cause discomfort.

The general public view is opposed but not very strongly so except during media frenzies, how many missiles North Korea shot over their heads that month also has an effect. Foreigners start talking nonsense whether there is talk of military expansion as through its part of some plan to invade China again, so the politicians don't feel like cultivating poor perceptions or stupid conversations. The pacifists brought into propaganda in the schools post-war and decided the don't have any other defining characteristics to lean on, in time they will die and it will be materialists rather than idealists who form the most annoying elderly voting clique.

For his content on the whole it's solid, it isn't academic but neither is his audience (if you want that their are channels for that), despite what some people seem to think there is a great deal of value in historical information and research being disseminated to a wider audience. I don't get the bitterness but I suppose it's pretty usual for people to be like this when they are on separate channels from the one they are insulting, I've always wondered why as it's so common.

It is common among nobles of the sword, genetics has a fair deal of influence on behaviour and personality, as does culture, the streak of dareing, contempt for death, commitment to the duties of the upper towards the lower, as well as heavy bohemianism and some psychopathic traits are common in much of the old blood European aristocracy, it is easy to see the dashing and self-confidence of knights and the old Christian beliefs of divinely mandated hierarchy in them. Unfortunately though who have survived inheritance tax are much diminished, and covort with actors, bankers and politicians, in other words they are thoroughly debased.

  1479. The European elite base their legitimacy entirely on American backing. America is never going to let go of South America. There are no new ideas, European policy is to dig their hole deeper, sensible decisions aren't coming until their is a turnover in elites. Economically Germany is massively declining, this is to France's benefit, but America's even more. An independent Europe would probably normalise relations with Russia almost immediately (they need the resources and Russia is only a threat to countries that the rest of Europe is usually looking to sell out at the best of times), it would also turn hard against American political influence, notably all those social policies would probably be ripped up and the whole process of autonomy would probably look like the French revolution with the amount of internal tensions between classes and people's waiting to surface, America will not abet any change which isn't on their terms, irrespective of administration. Also expect all American investments to be nationalised, you guys are blamed (rightly as it happens) for impoverishing us in the first place. So yeah, not happening, even if you had a civil war we'd need our own first for it to matter.

  1484. India was one of the richest countries a century before the British took over, the Hindu nationalists forget to mention that inbetween the Mughal (which was Muslim and persecuted Hindus) had fallen into internal shrift, decentralisation, a constant war of raids and bandits with the South and had it's capital sacked by the Afghans and the country ravaged. Also India did not become poor under the British, the Industrial revolution meant that the total wealth in the world exploded, and it was concentrated in Europe and late North America. India's biggest stagnation was post-independence when they flirted with socialism for a few decades and allowed corruption to re-entrench and the infrastructure to degrade. Also why should our country be destroyed with immigration because a few British civil servants built up and ran your bureaucracy for a bit and then left. We owe you nothing, we owe ourselves the shame of bad leadership and treason both losing an empire and now threatening a people.

  1485. Thinking about it there are only a few contexts were soldiers might thing of it as a good idea, during very heavy rain in a foxhole, if drunk and thinking it's funny or when having to crawl through mud with the rifle. If you are wading through water it will either get in or it won't depending on how much and what is submerged, and there's a reason the pictures show them holding them over their heads. Otherwise it was not something subtle for patrol given it would have limited use and would be a pain to clean if the gun is fired, or duty because your superior would chew you out, or anything other than those I mentioned. That said the loyal guys probably gave theirs to theirs to their friends, so the it is as likely that the number found has more to do with how hopeful they were, though possibly also how nearby bins were, I have heard that there were complaints at least from the Germans at the time that much of this ration ended up immediately deposited in the trash by a decent proportion of the army, which wasted material and made superiors worry that this had something to do with the VD rate (the suggestion I've seen are that it was in fact generally a disregard for other recommended hygienic steps before and after use, as is often related in the case reports).

It's more that East Asians and some small people groups don't have them than it is Europeans being in any way particularly unique (though if I recall there are some European ethnicities included under the small people groups proviso and some where individuals have a higher than miniscule chance of displaying the trait).

  1491. These media pushes are laying the groundwork for mass immigration, they will suppress all dissent using these excuses once it starts. As a Brit all I can say is that Japanese have no way of conceptualizing how bad things will become, you have a highly cohesive culture and identity, you are not used to parasitism of your people's trust and decency, cry-bullying as an ideology of resource extraction, and having your women and girls treated as the spoils of war by groups who do not recognise moral universalism and thus find the claims of humanists merely a means to avoid punishment. If you let them these creatures will eat your society from the inside out, they will abuse all norms in order so take what they will and have the weak suffer as they must. Your politicians, media and police will be enslaved to the desecration of your society, your people and your humanity. Communism was never such a big threat, it killed histories, classes and individuals, it did not wipe out the people as a whole. The progressive liberalism being cultivated is an existential threat to all, it corrupts even those who use it, the exploiters need a constant inflow from their homeland for they ebb away under the evil power of deracination just as the majority population it is deployed against.

  1494. That doesn't matter, what does is that the social norms promoted by religion include large families, a positive attitude towards children and a hatred of contraceptives. At least within Christianity.
    2
  1495. Economics means that isn't a solution, the cost will come from somewhere else, banning women working, reforming education (or just getting rid of state funded education), getting rid of welfare and pensions, banning contraceptives and shooting western lobbying people out of the country with a cannon would probably be a lot better. Moving money around has been tried in Europe, hilariously only the gypsies started a permanent trend of higher birth rates as a result, probably because they were the only group for whom money was actually a limit on children rather than motivation and circumstances.

  1497. They should have used their influence to save the white Russian civilians and non-combatants who had nothing to do with the war but were sent to Stalin at his demand all the same. Thousands of old men, girls, women, children and men who had never fought or had even fought against the Germans were given into the hands of the Soviets by the British army and then brutalized within their sight, few survived. On top of this if it was really going to be a policy there were plenty of high quality Russian and Russian speaking troops in German service who did not have the appalling reputation of the Ukrainians, at the very least a much better job of vetting could have been done. Instead we imported thousands of likely murderers and rapists and then used men of such grossly deficient morals for sensitive intelligence work, it's hardly a wonder British intelligence leaked like a sieve throughout the cold war (it also didn't help that they hired people who where ideologically sympathetic to communism or were even former British communist party members just because they were the 'right sort').

  1499. American agents where at least as is currently understood not even slightly as influential, indeed a good portion of their actions seem to have been directed against South America, allied European countries and random American civilians. The paranoid nature of the Soviet union was furthered by their existence however though I'd argue that a great part of that was that the Soviets always felt like adding a accusation of spying for the enemy onto the charges of people they wanted to get rid of (which often included guilt by ethnicity or association, though they would still use it a good deal at random or in cases were the claim was blatantly ludicrous).

  1500. The lesson is to not allow women to decide beauty standards as they'd wear dead rats on their head if it became a symbol of prestige. Same with a lot of this stuff, intra-sex competition is fierce and among women it can turn very nasty as the more social nature of it can allow it to escalate to considerable heights and go in ridiculous directions.
    2
  1501. You are correct though it should be said that it is an absolute monarchy in legal terms, with many 'advisory' bodies having power delegated to them, in purely technical terms the monarch derives their power from God and owns the land and people of the country in the same way as personal property, at the same time they have divine obligations towards the people but these are mostly ignored in practice in the same way as the powers as if they weren't they would put the monarch in direct conflict with the bad governance of those they devolve power to.
    2
  1502. Law is basically irrelevant, it's up to the judge and they are usually loons, we are probably worse than California, that said the written law is somewhat more reasonable, but equally according to the letter of the law we are still an absolutist monarchy and parliament is advisory, the reality is that politics and the prejudices of the judge are the deciding factor, justice is basically a joke, one at the expense of victims. Very serious criminals get slapped on the wrist while political dissidents get decades. In this case the anti-hunt people are pretty strongly disliked, especially by country people, and the woman was very clearly at fault, as such he was let off to avoid a hullabaloo, especially as public sentiment has become pretty vicious towards bellends who make themselves a nuisance towards people going about their own business.

  1503.  @charlesbrown4483  Yep, things are a lot worse than people know. I imagine you have heard about rotherham. That said the people are lovely, even if somewhat debased by the breakdown of society and less affable than americans typically are. We have a rich culture, history and heritage and you can probably find a greater proportion of sensible people as it is an extremely conservative country and people. It's worth seeing some of the country houses and museums, and antique furniture and heirlooms go for pennies on the dollar, but things aren't going great for those of us who live here. We'll have to see how things go.

  1504.  @charlesbrown4483  As the leaflets the Chinese the flights over here say just avoid certain areas (Sikh, Chinese and Indian areas for example are fine, but even the worst don't tend to be as bad as american innercities(so long as you are male)) and don't run your mouth on social media (if you say something in public the police would have to be called and they would take a good while to arrive, you can just leave in that window, it's social media they monitor as they can screenshot it for a judge, and they don't tend to go after americans, as they know they will just leave the contry rather than waiting three years for a court date, also the main hunting ground is elderly people on facebook), there is little active police presence on the ground and that which there is is them in cars or going grocery shopping. I'd recommend the countryside, our civilisation was very rural until about a century ago, much of our cultural heritage is in small towns and villages and landed estates. The English people themselves are fairly friendly, though unlike americans they tend to keep their cards to their chests. Up North will be a lot better (not Scotland, the SNP are a penny short of a pint) as they don't really give a toss, also they tend to like people a lot more than southerners (and I say that as a southerner).

  1509. The economic problem is mostly time, if people are busy with work they don't have time for kids and daycare is expensive. Money is a problem in Tokyo as the living and housing costs are high, in the countryside it is the opposite, though prestigious jobs are basically non-existent. Attitude is the main issue, housing isn't expensive if parents live with kids or people share rooms, people can live on a lot less than they want, companies can have people working from home and not everyone should be working for a corporation, a country requires a diverse workforce, Japan has enough resource problems without running out of farmers. The material wealth on tv is an advert not reality, for this reason many in Tokyo end up in sex work to living in the big city and pretend they are living the high life. Japan desperately needs to deurbanise and dewesternise, most of these materialist values come from the west and are causing chaos in western society despite it being much more resistant to individualist extremism due to the individual emphasis of traditional (e.g. Christian) western morality.

  1511.  @AlpaTyrant  That’s way I mentioned insurgency. Knowing the Russians they would likely deal with the issue through indiscriminate shelling. I couple of sources I’ve seen suggest however that Russia’s goal wouldn’t be occupation (even for Donbas) but rather to change the constitution to one the makes power highly decentralised and thus easy to influence, basically do what the Tsardom did to the polish-Lithuanian commonwealth (with the donbas as their direct proxy). There has also been allegations that they are just interfering with the Ukrainian economy at a time when it’s looking unhealthy to make them default on loans and don’t actually plan to invade.

  1512. @ Not sure if you are referring to the Black nationalist conspiracies or the actual genetic studies that suggest they were much less black and Arab than they are today after the invasions and slave trade. Though the ones on royals showing European heritage (probably not the right phrase as they much more likely came via the steppe as Europeans themselves did) are likely not representative of the common population though it may suggest the origins of several invaders who set themselves up as elites over Egyptian history, though diplomatic marriages are another possibility (as they were reasonably common).

As a Brit the BBC hates us as well, look into Rotherham and the grooming gangs, the media here have covered up hamas equivalent things done by the Muslim population of the country to little girls, mostly poor ones, and in appalling numbers.

  1519. In previous times there had been few English women in India and the British would often marry into local families of influence (indeed their half Indian descendants would turn up on both sides of the mutiny, but more often the British one), however with the arrival of British women a facsimile of English domestic life was necessary and they kept a greater distance from the men. While this might have made it harder to see the rising coming it also meant that in practice it became harder to carry out for the rebels, the servants of English households often did everything in their power to save their masters, even if the personal price was death, some regiments stiffly refused to harm anyone despite rebelling and there were often soldiers (especially Sikhs and half-indians) who would remain loyal on the basis of protecting English women and children. Many of the soldiers knew the women and children and it was as a result in part why Cowpore was such a momentous event among native troops as well as British, with both being swept into a fury of vengeance, the event also greatly delegitimised the rebel cause even among their own supporters. Civilians were particularly inhumane, but many sepoys had mixed feelings and their support while vital to the rebellion was a lot less unconditional, as the war went on many would simply dissipate and try to get beyond British vengeance or fall on British mercy, leaving the mobs of armed insurgents to be massacred by professional military forces and villages which had taken part in the mutiny (often by murdering or mistreating British civilians as they fled) to be burnt down.

  1521.  @teary3109  Civilisations need a growing population more than economic prosperity (A civilisation like Carthage was always going to lose to a civilisation like Rome because the game was rigged). Education that is not utilised is wasted and plenty of it is inefficient anyway. Japan needs farmers as much as doctors, having less children to afford the children you do have aiming to become doctors doesn’t work it merely hollows out society. People need to understand that having children if a far bigger contribution to society than their career ever will be as children are a force multiplier (even if you make 40,000 good luck outcompeting your three children who make 15,000, and thats if you are so talented that your children can’t match you). On top of that children will likely give you more fulfilment in life than your career anyway. A move back to traditional Confucian family structures would probably be for the best.

  1522. Maybe 10 years ago but Carl as matured a lot about religion and it's role in our society, to the point that in five years or so I expect him to be talking about reclaiming the Anglican Church and reforming communities around church attendance and religious observance.

  1523. A few things, the social and political situation in Britain was a great deal more complicated. Revisionists like yourself have been putting a great deal of work into disproving stereotypes about the middle ages and feudalism, disease was the great killer not living conditions, things got worse from the 1600's onwards due to colder weather and a large population, the average person became a lot poorer and life was harsher but feudalism no longer existed in Britain and the common man was not a peasant or anything close to one. Most people in the countryside worked for wealthy farmers or yeomen, not the aristocracy and the farmer labourer was into the Victorian period allied with the country nobility, these nobles would create busy work during times of want, lead community life and often formed the leadership of campaigns by the labourers in pay disputes with the farm owners who employed most of them. A Social History of Victorian Britain by F. M. L. Thompson is a good book on exactly that, I also unfortunately don't know of any newer comprehensive books on the subject. The corn laws were meant to keep money within Britain and crush competition from overseas, they were successful in this, once they were repealed the market was flooded with American grains, which while a positive for the population was damaging to Britain as a whole by enriching America. I'm sure I don't need to tell you who this came back to bite Britain over the next century. It might be nice to take a utopian approach but in the game of Empires the enemies weakness is your strength, it might be nice to say that wealth has increased the world over but that is only a good thing if the world is yours or you have received it in a greater proportion to anyone else, otherwise you will become more vulnerable to war and misfortune and others will have more incentive to start them on terms against you. This is incidentally why the opium wars were justified.

  1524. It should also be noted that the aristocrats were the first class the new elite destroyed, the introduction of inheritance tax had a massive impact on the particularities of the nation. This was visible in terms of the destruction of many ancient estates and their buildings. But this also deprived much of they country of the leaders of localised social organisation, either destroying this organisation, setting them into decline or replacing them with 'charitable ' versions lead by managers and funded by the state or state aligned corporations. Village life was not spontaneous it was coordinated by local priests, gentlemen and women and needed funding, a disproportionate amount of which came from local notables. Likewise it had been the tradition for at least 400 years that women especially would learn domestic skills as maids during their teenaged years, state enforced education made this uneconomical and the destruction of noble estates meant that the role no longer held any social prestige, the filtering of culture, fashion and often actual physical goods (such as the high fashion of a decade or two ago, work clothes and fabrics or leftover food and ingredients) ceased. From this time onwards women would become mere economic units in the same way as men and all of this vacuum would become centralised into the state.

  1528. As the others are saying it's a matter of the horse, western military observers often specifically stated that cossack horses were extremely hardy and that certain ponies used seemed to live on practically nothing while being worked extremely hard. Making assumptions about capability would probably increase the enemy's due to being wrong. Draft horses, racing horses and heavy cavalry horses are extremely hungry and need different levels treatment, they they are good at their specialised roles. Cossacks were noted to sit in the saddle in a way that allowed them to cover much greater distance than regular cavalry. Likewise fuel relies on a supply line, as it was less freely available at the time, fodder for horses on the other hand was something every village would have, every today a grain shortage is far more unusual and a far more serious matter than a fuel one, stables are probably the thing in most short supply.

  1531. Greco-Roman philosophy was fundamental in a lot of ways to Christianity as Christianity had an influx of intellectuals from that school very early in it's existence, who had been interested in Judaism due to the philosophical conclusion of there being a single God but did not want become Jewish. It should also be noted that modern Christianity has been influenced on a fundamental level by enlightenment thought, which is contradictory to many of the intrinsic beliefs and has overpowered them to a large extent. With many modern clergy very clearly having a value system that is liberal rather than Christian. Older forms of Christianity are fundamentally patriarchal, Roman (either western or eastern) and aggressive, the interpretations were very different as they were filtered through saints rather than liberal social norms. Things like the Crusades were and are totally justifiable, or rather an obligation in actual Christianity, meanwhile the morality of liberalism is very expressly an inversion of Christian assumptions, with virtues and vices switched (this came from Rousseau).

You can tell she's a Daddy's girl by the fact that she is constantly asking for him even when she is told her mother in coming, and then after her mother arrives and after her mother chews her out. Pretty silly from his perspective to humour this sort of behaviour, as he is enabling her in her bad life choices.

  1539. The law of God is higher than the laws of men, which is to say that such people should not be tolerated. Society is to be governed by obligation, not freedom, as freedom to do evil is an incitement to it and against the principles of justice should it be endured.

  1543. There are women who are most definitely into it, including those with a perverse attraction to criminals and men with a history of violence towards women, it is most likely an adaptive trait from evolution, however I'm not sure if there has ever been proved how genetic it is, there is a possibly that it is a reaction to trauma with the subconscious essentially deciding that you must live in an extremely dangerous context and must put yourself under the protection of the most powerful person you can find irrespective of other personality traits, equally it might just be generic to the least intelligent members of society with the negative correlation of intelligence to fertility making it more pervasive with time, equally it could well be a mixture. There are however most certainly women who do not fit that mold at all and likewise they also don't fit many of the other less reputable traits of women that get talked about as if they cover all, though they are still very beholden to prestige and social factors so in the cultural climate of now mostly conform and only really show themselves in statistics or after becoming mothers and hardening.

  1547. Remember both that the problem is only being realised now and that younger people as this video demonstrated are perpetuating the cycle, in many ways even more radically. Though we have a great deal more cause to upset the status quo I don't see any purpose in resentment or vindictiveness when it comes to the older generation even if they are very far from prefect and their interests are not of the principal impediments to change, at least where I am many more would be willing to make the sacrifices necessary given the situation than could be with my own generation given the circumstances and playing on that is likely the most direct path to solutions.

  1548. I wrote something last night but it seems like YouTube deleted it (no clue why, it was a fairly mundane comment). To put things in very simple terms there is no need for indoctrination, the nature of pro-natalist religions is such that their adherents have a much higher birth rate, the only reason this hasn't translated to the problem solving itself is that mass education is installing top down values onto society rather than allowing people to learn from their parents experience and outlook. A lot of the obsession with prestige and corporate jobs exists in a bubble and without things like media and educational support not only would it have always been less dominant but it likely would have popped once it started failing, such perceptions exist within the ambitions of a post-occupation japan, the reality now is that it is oversubscribed and there are much bigger issues for the population to worry about, in today's climate a farmer with ten kids is worth his weight in gold, there aren't enough jobs for the people who want to be salarymen. The prices should show the way, move to the countryside, form communities, hunt deer and farm, that is a far better option than chasing temp jobs in an expensive and competitive city. Without the indoctrination which already exists the opportunities would manage themselves and people wouldn't be drained into cities which don't want or need them.

  1549. The slaveholding is literally just an American import, it really doesn't graft well onto European experiences at all, also we have a very small black population who are recent and can't claim oppression as much for the reason they are so criminal and dysfunctional (most of it is probably influence from American black culture and the facilitation of the welfare state). In terms of colonisation the big one is Germany despite not really having that history before WW2, it is very much a deliberate policy by American intelligence working with the Frankfurt school to neuter potential rivals and create vassal states and the correct mindset nationally. This is especially targeted at the elite, the population are actually better informed. How progressive a country is is in truth how atheist they are and their proximity to US foreign policy and specific campaigns and client networks set up in the past. Progressivism really is the imperial ideology of America.

  1552. You are correct that arranged marriage is vital to their continued existence as a civilisation. However the legal rights of families are also important, before the occupation Japanese fathers had sovereignty over the family, this culture has declined since it left law. Also the government has encouraged women entering the workforce in order to fill the decline in gdp caused by the population decline, this is a short term solution that cements the underlying problem.

  1555. Totally disagree with Harry, our ancestors had 12 kids apiece, some had even more. The difference was they they didn't have the same fixation on the material comforts, if they had to all live to a room and use wash basins they did so, family was their security. We need people, preferably many from our best, we need children who are born into a deep culture and raised into a firm structure. Look at the Ottoman empire, it was the Clanish Christian's who survived, and when faced with destruction they were the only one's to survive. The maniots are a model, not the current order. This is not a matter of comfort but of survival, he who gives up security for freedom will end up with neither.

  1556. Liberalism is universalist so is Islam, both have their own exclusive moral system, though liberals are usually less aware or honest about theirs and tend to frame it as natural law when it is in fact a giant historical abnormality. Liberalism is most often delineated from Rousseau, exclusively with that politically associated with leftism as all left wing (and many right wing, notably non-cons and certain 20th century ideologies) have a common root in Rousseau's ideas and his vision of utopia. This utopia is of a name free from any social bonds and defines the good as being the natural impulses (literally by inverting the Christian definition of virtues and vices), add on to this the influence of post modernism (the idea that things only exist through the mode of power) and it is kind of obvious why these people support these causes, they don't care about the positive vision of Islam (which is antithetical to their values) but about it's destructive capability against a civilisation and society that is innately malevolent (as society imposes restrictions on human freedom and thus is maliciously blocking progress towards the utopia, usually characterised as inevitable due to Wig history and Marx). I understand that this is probably a bit philosophical for many people, and that they are things 'but I'm a liberal and it just means I compassionate ', I understand that many people think this way but ultimately we have to be honest about where these ideas come from and were they go, it is comfortable to live in the consensus but that doesn't make them true or moderate. Really people need to admit that reality is sophisticated and needs sophisticated explanations, if you aren't into that I recommend church or in this channels case a synagogue I suppose as the social systems set out upon their moral teachings have a track record of millennia of leading people into the next generation if nothing else. For someone inclined to history the fact that liberalism made it out of the French revolution was a tragedy, the 20th century a horror.
    2
  1557. Basically the question was interpreted as do you support the state, but yeah the numbers are real. Unsurprisingly Russians support Russia. In terms of regime change it matters less, and is basically not a usable metric. But in terms of the war it's pretty good.
    2
  1558. There is cultural cringe in the case of the French if you are middle class, if you are working class they are ancestral enemies ("they made the wrong dynastic choice and I'll be damned if the 100 years war ever ends in this household, also they eat frogs and sound weird") and the butt of jokes (some of which may be directed at the middle class for apeing them), if you are upper class you can consider your ancestors to have made the right choice by putting their eggs in the English basket, any personal relationship was wiped out by the revolution and thus they are mostly notable for nice weather and annoying people.

  1559.  @bkjeong4302  The mass r*pe and use of comfort women was largely swept under the rug post war when the allies decided not to pursue charges relating to crimes against women in the war crimes trials. Their use of comfort women especially is still little known. The Japanese do teach about war crimes in most school curriculums but it doesn’t get much focus and is often memorised then forgotten post tests like with a lot of subjects by students so public perception is a lot lower.

  1562. By the end of this crisis we will likely have a culture much closer to eastern europe, which has baked in the reality of constant existential threats to their existence (in eastern Europe this is because of Mongols, Tartars and Ottomans, though modern ones would list Germany and Russia when it was developed Germany was mostly a threat to itself and Russia has this attitude the most deeply of any state as a country born out out of rebellion against the Mongols, forged in constant warfare with the Tartars and with the ambition of wiping away the Ottoman occupation of Byzantium. Either we wouldn't exist in a century or we'll have a totally different culture around the worth of the individual vs the duty of sacrifice. Or maybe we'll just end up as the second fiddle to those who do think that way, the Hungarians never sorted out their internal issues, they just got occupied by Austria and the Austrians were better at prioritising reconquest of ottoman territory rather than infighting between nobles.

Having seen several of these it is clear that a total takeover of controls which ignores continued input is necessary due to the likelihood that in the case of emergency the panicked individual will not forfeit command or stop input.

  1583. Having wives and children is the concern, democracy is a dead letter at this point. We need a place for women for the sake of the future of our people, the future of our political movement less so. Dialectics are pointless with women, they are social creatures and will react to social norms rather than logical formulations. You want they to feel inadequate when they look at right wing families, and to have a place with honour, validation and the guidance of experienced matriarchs when they join the space. For older women a place to have children will compel them towards a structure that guarantees it, for younger women a place to become a woman in the first place will be offered. This requires organisation, the creation of culture and community, and the rejection of the current education and media landscape. Once women find place in such a movement they will inevitable purity spiral in an affirmation loop and prestige signalling competition, it is enough letting them listen into the wider discussions and leaving a bible for them to read, debating them will just make them think less of you and will have literally zero effect. Also once women have children and home they turn from sheep to lionesses, they will absolutely not suffer the trespassing of wolves. It has taken a huge amount of theory and social force to put them in their current state. Sargon, the solution to the latter half is conversation to Christianity.

The conservative should cease pursuing the state of affairs they like and instead discover the ideals and values which underpinned that state of affairs coming into being in the first place, as without its foundations the conservative will only serve to facilitate the leftist attack on reality counter to ideals. That would require action and effort instead of air and would need to come as part of a movement towards cultural, moral and religious revival which would not be welcomed by the nihilists and contrarians, we have to recognise that leftism is a religious movement arguing from moral precepts based on theological doctrine, to not have your own moral grounding is effectively to capitulate.

  1592. I know a few eastern Germans and part German eastern Europeans, the part Germans had a very hard time but survived, usually they were dumped in rural Russia (which can get very rural, especially out east) and the locals helped them, for the eastern Germans they were sent to camps, many did not survive, the women were treated how we know, usually repeatedly for years, most of the children and elderly died, whole families were sent and the survivors were dumped back in eastern Germany much later, in one case all the way in 1964, so almost 20 years. In that case it was the first time they had been to Germany in almost a millennia (they were Transylvanian Germans), they had trouble with language, let alone culture and felt very alienated, they left once the the cold war ended (interestingly many of those I know of are now Canadians, probably happenstance). It's a point of political dispute now, but the numbers were undoubtedly vast, huge amounts of Germans lived outside Germany, in the eastern regions of Germany or in Russia and they were all decimated. Of course the story of many Russians and most Cossacks and other minority groups is similar, sometimes worse as it happened to multiple generations over and over.

I'm taking an education degree, the academia would have to be completely overturned as their are basically not even the most rudimentary foundational of good schooling (it's to the point were people from other subjects can hardly believe how awful things are, for example they don't have a workable definition of knowledge and it is pretty much totally dominated by communists who have sociology degrees), the quality of teachers is exceptionally low, most were very poorly educated, and are the stupidest from among their peers, they are also overwhelming female and very few of them have or understand children. There are basically no educators with the breathe of knowledge necessary to be good teachers and so that knowledge is in large part lost. Almost everything in the education system is maladaptive, it would be better to start over at this point.

  1599. Women were historically extremely conservative, this is because they are conformist and play for status, they support whatever the social norms are but more so it's trendy. This is why most of the new "trad" girls are trying the e-whore thing on the right, they have no clue what the ideology actually is just that is has handsome men and looks to be gaining. There are legitimate women on the right but they are either openly Christian (and thus genuinely profoundly right wing) or wear their retardation on their sleeve with the typical women takes (let's not be mean, why don't we compromise, etc), and repackaged feminism/whatever the hairdresser told them.

  1606.  @dalilaberenicepadillaloera5568  ​ @Dalila Berenice Padilla Loera ​ @Dalila Berenice Padilla Loera You missed my point entirely, what the Nazi’s did is on the head’s of the perpetrators and their facilitators, like wise for the western allies, Soviet’s, Japanese, etc. Comparisons at least in the form of youtube comments can’t really do any of those justice in terms relaying the weight of information and nuances needed but instead bring things down to the level of whataboutism. What was relevant to this video was the crimes against female red army personal and mentioning interrelated subjects allows for people to do their own research or at least have a mild inkling about the topic. If you want a relevant allied crime against humanity that likely effected soviet women taken prisoner look into Operation Keelhaul. American war crimes are evil, so are German one’s, because war crimes are evil. The war crimes are not evil because they are german the Nazi regime was evil because it pursued a deliberate state policy of mass murder, this also makes the Soviet regime evil and many of the actions of western powers and military leaders extremely questionable and perhaps far worse when the archives are opened and make who did what and how a lot clearer (the fact that large parts of the archives of the nazis and soviets have been made available without the intervention by the regimes in question on which parts should and should not be made public is a big factor on that, but even if everything comes out it will only make the western allies look worse, not the soviets and nazi’s better). Insulting people only reflects badly on oneself, there is little point in calling people stupid unless they demonstrably are, insult’s are merely cringe inducing for third party’s who read them.

  1607. Pressuring them is exactly how you get through to women as they respond far more to social incentives than logic. I mean have you ever met a woman, it's pretty clear that they just parrot things they've heard (from TV in particular, you often hear appeals to what the neighbours will think when you know them and what they actually think), especially the one's young enough to actually make a change.

  1608.  @MakeSureYouCleanUp  Nor do you really, all this liberalism crap is how we got into this situation in the first place. If people don't acknowledge reality then they will merely be replaced. The main issue is the transition back to a traditional society, a widespread social collapse in nuclear armed countries would not be pretty. If you let people decide they will go with whatever they are being pressured to do. The origin of the problem was women being propagandised that should become wageslaves and contribute to GDP and short term corporate profits, I'm sure under the exact same circumstances they'll not do exactly the same thing they always have and play prestige games within the current paradigm as it burns to the ground. History is pretty long and one of its lessons is that women are the most conservative sex by far, they enforce social boundaries and like people in general are exceptionally unoriginal. If you have bad incentives then more freedom will just funnel people into them harder. The male equivalent of this are pick up artists, they see a failing system and try to play into it rather than against it. While there is a new feminist movement against all this (they're behind the case against the sexual revolution and many other recent works on related topics from a female perspective) they most certainly to not present moral freedom and lower standards (so more of the same) as a solution and on top of this many of them are autistic and thus think very distinctly from average men or women. While men will probably get on board, a new structure will already have to be in place for most women to.
    1
  1609.  @MakeSureYouCleanUp  Not at all, I was literally pointing out that most just follow social norms pathologically (same goes for men but to a lesser degree as they are both less conformist (evolution sets out men to be more expendable so that it experiment with less of a detrimental impact to the wider group, in the wider course of human history it's fine for men to be reckless as the stupid ones will just die, of course in non-hunter gatherer times it leads to a large underclass of angry young men, and due to the sexual revolution they can't pair up, if I was a women that's the demographic I'd worry about as polygamous societies have a long history of extreme violence and unrest spearheaded by them ) and less tuned into the dissemination vectors like TV. The thing that will get the current paradigm in the long run is that it doesn't work and we will just be outnumbered and replaced by societies with social norms and expectations better suited to successful family formation, procreation and the like. You already see this within western societies, Amish are growing in population at an exponential rate in America and orthodox Jews are an increasing proportion of Israel's population. Basically Traditionalism and patriarchy are in for a major return and due to the decline in Christianity (the primary factor in the historical relaxing of social conditions for women) the expression of it might be fairly grim. There are fairly big male movements opposed to such an eventuality, but as it isn't feminist it can't get women onboard in big enough numbers. Ultimately they'll just have to build a boat and hope that women start jumping on board once they realise that the ship they are on is pretty much sunk. The better option is making the movement comfortable to women, but that would basically be setting up meaningful communities with clear social boundaries and norms in which women find place and pursue social prestige. But that would mean much less freedom and individual determination, the thing you were after.

  1610.  @MakeSureYouCleanUp  A general statement is a general statement. You've heard that the exception proves the rule right. You didn't pick me up on calling men expendable by for treating women as broadly similar, which by definition they are, if they weren't broadly similar that thing wouldn't be a similarity and thus not worth mentioning. This is the top layer of the discussion, most people would try to refute me with whether it was social or biological in cause, instead we ended up talking past each other, I don't refute their are women who are exceptions, I literally called them autistic, who've characteristics wouldn't be of any note were they arbitrary. I don't know how much of an exception to norms you are, I don't know you. We are all unique in a way, but usually less than we think.

  1611.  @MakeSureYouCleanUp  If women don't have children then things aren't exactly going to go on for very long, I'm a historian, I know they only parrot the TV because talking to them quickly tells you that their knowlege of the last decade is warped and once you go further back its almost insane how misinformed they are. As said giving idiots freedom results in idiocy, I'm perfectly happy for them to have freedom once they are put to head in the right direction but frankly the feelings of morons is insignificant compared to the continuation of the human race. Women are the most miserable they've even been, our social problems manifest all around us, the last thing we need is more of the same, we wouldn't be here if it was working.

  1614. The warrior aristocracy were mostly dispossessed over the 20th century by inheritance tax, we're still around, we just aren't a notable component of the current elite. We're mostly waiting on things going kinetic, as we can't really fund ourselves independently, just lead and organise things once matters get under way. The current elite are wealthy and entrenched, and you aren't going to do anything to them with disjointed resistance, just make yourself a useful example for them, but they are pretty pathetic in most ways, the main thing they have is institutional backing. Once the ducks are in a row they'll fold like paper towels, the true threat is their client groups.

  1615. Yep, strangely normal people even under harsh conditions don't do it, for one it isn't necessary, this is both because we live in a welfare state so she'll have money thrown at her just for existing and also because charity exists, duh. But also because functioning societies traditionally killed thieves, thus both genetically lowering the amount of low impulse control people (until we imported them from parts of the world which do things I'm not allowed to say on youtube) and creating a culture and social norms hostile to being a scumbag (at least until the TV was invented and America started plaguing the world with its sickening influence). It is truly a mystery why all these poor impoverished people live off welfare and steal luxuries (yeah, mate he's totally going to eat that TV, get out of here). Surely it isn't that people are driven by internal motivations and the fact of rewarding bad behaviour only encourages it (wow, mind blow, new revelation from basic logical tenants of Christianity which form the backbone of all western thought), no the world is purely material after all I can't think with someone telling what to, and the same geniuses behind the Soviet economy (go breadlines, wooo) are telling me that human factors don't count because humans are innately good and will just be productive for no reason, also people who disagree with this are evil and people who own things are a non-productive parasite class. Pure..just...utter genius. Seriously though stop dreaming up bullshit examples in your head and look at the reality of who the people who steal things are and their motivations, it's not like they hide the bloody thing. Seriously people who go on about the poor misunderstood criminals should be killed just to prove a point about the level of goodness innate to man, every time you utopian plonkers end up in change of a country it leads to genocide, seriously go shove a banana up your rectum.

  1616. The clothing is beautiful. Face whitening makes sense, a pale, flushed complexion is a signal of fertility in women so it isn't surprising that it is a beauty standard in many different cultures. Ironically including in Europe historical, despite the natural complexion being fairly close to the idealised standard, especially up North. Black teeth is an interesting one, it's interesting how many cultures it turns up it, maybe something to do with status, e.g. eating food that rots the teeth. I can't really get out of my own cultural mode of finding it disconcerting. I wonder if you have read Otoyomegatari by Mori Kaoru, the Turkic clothing and jewellery depicted is quite something, and I would love to see it discussed.

It is not impossible to run an insurgency (there was one from the end of WW2 into the 1950’s) but it would be a lot harder than in Afghanistan. The Russians have also learnt to ‘kettle’ up cities and cut of their water, electricity, etc, so there won’t be a whole lot of urban warfare. As they’ve shown time and again civilian casualties don’t mean much to them either. Chechnya will probably continue to be the main terror threat.

  1623. It's more like the opposite, many churches are thoroughly compromised and the congregation are usually actually Christian unlike the priests (believe it or not Christians are the only people who go to church if you don't pay them, I'm sure that's a shock to my church considering all the pandering they do towards heathens). Really the church is being held up entirely by the fact that people don't leave despite the fundamental lack of Christian values, ideals or philosophy. Not an insignificant margin of our priests openly admit to being atheists for Pete's sake.

In my experience they look better without make-up because you look better without make-up, women who go without are usually religious, married or zoomer (and basically can't be asked, or afford it). All those people are displaying a healthy mindset by not engaging in the dominant culture. So far I see no sign of high status women using going without as a prestige marker, they will however show their skills by making it subtle and then lying that they don't have any on, though part of that will be a shit-test to see which of their hangers on go along with it and which are potential rivals. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

  1633. In the modern dissident right it is much more likely that Evola is a cover for the ideas of other people they don't want to name. They certainly like is work, too much in my view as it is very largely esoteric nonsense, but many of their positions use terms that come from the national socialists, just without making it clear that that's the origin, hilariously there are a number of anti-Semitic Marxists who also try to influence the space by minimising their conflicts with the national socialists, also there are a number of essentially sociopaths who introduce there lack of understanding of how people actually work, there are also a variety of 'trad' Christians who try and argue national socialism was Christian movement, I don't see why they bother. Personally it annoys me more than a bit that most genuine Christian intellectuals are not involved in the actual politics of their faith, as things are not exactly in the best state at them moment, and the only alternative being a bunch of esoteric clowns will lead us straight back into the mistakes of the 20th century. I mean it's a better community than anything with leftists involved, but I do wish they would grow up and start talking about real issues rather than trying to revive norse paganism or pretending half their intellectual (living) class isn't Jewish (genuinely it's something near to that).

  1636. There are very different demographics of men, basically violence and exploitation is genetically programmed as procreation strategy among certain groups of men, how prevalent this is depends on other factors, I know it is fairly low among Europeans as they killed the bottom two percent criminal class each generation for several centuries. I don't know about Asia as it is very specific, in places like Afghanistan they isolate their women for good reason. A lot of men, the vast majority in some demographics, are not like this even slightly, protection of the group has also been selected for as a group strategy and in many cultures the natural instinct of men is to use their affinity for violence against people who threaten women and children, indeed laws stopping them from doing so, especially when they are lenient on perpetrators are a matter of great frustration to men. It's like most women aren't onlyfans entrepreneurs, it is a certain type, same with these men, they are typically below average intelligence and have sociopathy and psychopathy at very high frequencies. In literature they are typically referred to as short time preference men. I notice that there is a great deal of disconnect between men and women, they have many of the same feelings but seldom talk, to a certain extent they are very different, but they are naturally complimentary, and that is easy to forget when the promiscuous ones are repulsive to so many of the other side, while among ourselves such people are defined by being abnormal in the first place. The internet thrives on engagement, but because of that the story it tells is shocking rather than true.

  1637. Sorry high time preference, meaning they live fast. Low time preference tend to be leaders more, though all young men are more high time preference this is typically displayed in a causal regard for their own life. Putting high time preference men in prison for a decade or two does lower risk considerable, but a certain portion are innately dangerous on a basic level. There has been all sorts of research on it, but it isn't my ballpark so I'll leave it at that.

  1638. With the Azerbaijan threat seems like it could be helped with Armenian support. Perhaps Iran could do a two for one deal with Russia, every military asset the Russians give to Armenia Iran will deliver two of the equivalent to Russia. Because of the war Russia has backed off from Armenia, an incentive to stay involved would be valuable to Iran, but they won't want their involvement to be obvious, thus it is better to act through the existing hegemon of Armenia, and to make sure that the supplies, money and advisers are likewise Russian.

But yeah wondering around at night isn't great but then three of the schools I went to had attempted abductions of female students during the day (and out in the countryside to boot) so there's that, doesn't help that the legal system is beyond a joke so even one criminal can have dozens or hundreds of victims (and even then they'll get like a twenty year sentence tops and be back at it within 15).

  1650. I'd seriously look into Rousseau, also I'd recommend getting in touch with the Lotus Eaters, they have been doing a lot of work on related topics and can probably give you better grasp of the reading without having to go through it all like they have for years. It is a positive thing that people are started to recognise the nature of the enemy arrayed against us, most who've got a peek at it so far have turned to Christianity, we'll welcome you in if you choose to tread the same path. An important point is that the belief in an objective and logical universe comes from Christian dogma (God is logical and rational and he created a self-contained universe with logically consistent rules which can only be broken by divine intervention, if this wasn't the case miracles would hardly be a big deal) as a result the scientist faction isn't really independent and indeed much of it has already fallen to post-modernism. Also God is a father and a patriarch so he's not female, also man is made after his image and was the first made, I know you weren't being serious but there are a good many in compromised churches who are when it comes to that point.

  1651. Being a monarchist in Russia is one of the relevant opposition ideologies. They don't openly oppose Putin but they are ultimately seeking regime change, the return of the Romanov dynasty and a move away from the current duma based system into an autocratic one justified by Christian theology and with the backing of many aligned groups, like the Church, nationalists, Cossacks and traditionalists. They have some oligarchs supporting them, and ironically are a popular movement, notably they are the only substantial non-Muslim demographic to have high birth-rates. The main challenge to them is that the Soviets murdered off both the old Russian Aristocracy and the Baltic German Nobility (the source throughout the 19th century of Russia's professional bureaucracy), the Cossacks as a people were ethnically cleansed but their native elite were outright eradicated, their are efforts to build a new Russian elite to replace the oligarchs and Soviet holdovers but we will have to see how it pans out (the Cossacks seem especially tied into this, but their success has more been in promoting civic nationalism than becoming a relevant power block). Russia being the fun place it is means you can run into Russian nationalist Islamist Muslims who frantically support the return of an Orthodox Tsar.

If they can beat every other power in the middle east without external aid, hold up an economy in a time of crisis and reform the whole political system to freeze the liberals out of power then they will be fine but those are big asks. They do however have a better chance than most European states just because they have an element who have both competence and power. In Europe improvement can only come with political revolution, and revolution is often as not in the habit of making things worse so that's merely the first condition in an insurmountable task.

  1662. Ideology is essentially a religious phenomenon. Though not entirely as it is religious belief without the clearly defined theology around the nature of God. Historically ideology called itself that to trick people into thinking it was more legitimate that the existing Christian framework (they worked off of a foundation of religious propaganda wars which took place during the reformation, thus many of the categorisations of Christian are based on misinformation by rival sects that has only started to be striped away by historians in recent decades) and the Christians defined ideologies they came across in other civilisations as religious, for example Confucianism and Legalism, though they also introduced a belief in transcendent truth, a logically consistent universe, which is explicitly Christian in its assumptions but has successfully been transplanted to other societies. This is also why leftism moves away from truth, though they might at first assume is based on cultural background it is not a fundamental principle in their understanding of reality, where as to Christians it is a key component of God's relationship to the universe, and how the mineral world is even differentiated from the spiritual realm. Ironically they can to this conclusion by arguing that miracles would not be miraculous if they didn't break fundamental and absolute laws of existence that only God had power over, while the Muslims ended up with something very different from an argument about the nature of atoms (God continually recreates them and thus he controls everything and everything is by his will).

  1672. This is very much how feudalism, or indeed any system of political power funds itself, you can't have a patronage system without riches to hand out, and thus any institution will inevitably operate in a similar manner, ensuring their power through rewarding loyalty and service. Having a cut out with in the state, or rather an monopoly of various sorts is a basic requirements to command actual loyalty beyond sentiment. It is a really of power structures, if the royal family is at fault it is that they have been happy to serve as the patrons of parliament where they should lead as the sovereigns of a Kingdom and people, before and under God, as their oath demands.

  1676. They probably would have sooner associated themselves with the Egyptians than those to their South as the culture was very similar to Egypt. Indeed southerners were likely viewed as troublesome barbarian raiders a bit like the Nubian's were themselves viewed in the North. Ironically it's still a can of worms as most Sudanese identify as Arab despite physical appearance and western classification and dislike any implication that they aren't what they say they are.

  1677.  @LionClanChief  ​ @Admire Kashiri It’s about standard for major hub’s of culture and trade to look down on neighbours whom are anything less than overwhelmingly more influential than them. The Nubian’s seemed to have viewed themselves as an exporter of culture and art rather than an importer of it as they remained very close to Egyptian forms of cultural and religious practice practically to the point of being the main bastion of it during time’s of Egyptian weakness. They don’t seem to have had nearly as much openness or recognition to the cultures of other peoples, or at least there is little expression of it in what remains. If trade and use as mercenaries express closeness then Egypt must have be very cordial with the Nubian’s and Libyans, and not done things like say sewing their likeness on the bottom of slippers so they could be stepped on. They undoubtedly were often interacting with others in the region but like the Egyptian’s every implication is that viewed the recognition of equality as an act of considerable respect and more generally viewed outsiders as potential tributaries or loathed enemies rather than peers.

  1679. The economies of eastern Europe have taken off, they were awful in the nineties, but that was two decades ago. Poland and the Baltic states have taken off, Ukraine and the Balkans are better not to ask about. Russia is doing fine, very well by the standards of the last few decades, not as well as during the later Soviet Union or even to a certain extent tsarist times. These things are all relative, outside of London much of the UK is directly comparable to Poland, but it doesn't look like it as they have a patrimony of ancient buildings and a culture of cleanliness and decency, ask them how they are doing and there are few jobs, high expenses, a rise in crime and a related one in migrants and those nice houses are very often owned by foreign investors. Depending on how you look at it you will take it differently, in Russia you can buy a house but it will be a commieblock, in England you can't buy a house but if you could it would look nice, were you are renting however doesn't, costs a fortune and is full of the scum of the earth. Russia is a bit depressing as a country but things are looking up, in the west people are hopeless because things are hopeless.

  1681. America left both WW2 and the cold war with Africa up for graps, both times they rejected investment in favour of extraction and destabilization, worse they put it into a welfare trap. Is a power that only starts acting competently in the face of opposition really worth existing, and are a single one of their aims admirable, it seems to me that what they want for Africa is the extraction of brainpower towards their dying elite and a welfare trap without fertility as they have managed with their African descendant people at home. More broadly they wish to spread the ideological equivalent of Sodom and Gomorrah, with I think a similar punchline. It seems like the future is up for graps, and it belongs to he who resists the Americans most profoundly. The Chinese at least build what they promise and leave it at that.

  1686.  @RonJDuncan  Thats fascinating, I’ll try and take it into account in the future.  The way they do loans is different and university is just the last in a long line of educational institutions with fees attached. University and supplementary education are probably the least important ease the burden on as japan has less of a shortage of professionals that a shortage of people so if that was solved the other would be a lot easier. Though it would be expensive to remove state school fees it would remove a principal inhibiter to size in family planning as the income is only able to support a certain number of children in the first place, without what is in essence a number cap based on income people try to do more with less and thus a lot of children have high expectations placed on them when Japan is short of farmers and doctors alike. The reality’s of parenting in japan mean that parents will likely use some of the saved money from prior education to pay university costs for the kids in the future anyway. I can imagine the move causing all sorts of other minor problems but the population issue is so major that it quite overshadows any ramifications if chipped away at even a bit. I could think of a dozen other proposals for reforms which is fun because in my country such an easy approach is rather less possible.

  1687. From what I’ve seen the logic and values in Japan are more Christian than in many western countries. But it seems like there is little awareness of the fact and tradition is viewed as tradition whether meiji, edo or earlier in origin. If it doesn't seem very christian thats because the bar when comparing to western nations is very low other than the US most western countries are about as christian as China is Buddhist. Any influence is influence on the ideological assumptions that make up the key circles of thought but thats on the same level as calling Christians greek pagans because they built off their logical foundations.

  1691.  @ohnoes3084  There is a distinction between the 'English liberties' and liberalism, you basically have two main branches, French liberalism comes from Rousseau and is a totalising ideology which inverts Christian morality and presents man as a naturally good creature perverted but the existence of society, all the fighting is done in the definitions so they just present the traditional evils as good because they make men free, this is very much the origin of progressive thought and all historical left wing movements are based in it (and some 'right wing' ones like neo-conservatism, Fascism and a certain German ideology). English Liberalism is the other branch and a large reason for it not being French Liberal in it's thinking is just that it predates it, it implicitly is sympathetic to many of the same values, however is formulation while French Liberalism is very much a fully embodied ideology English Liberalism is a political system, it justifies the power of a parliament over the divine right of Kings using as justification it's guardianship of the 'English Liberties', claiming them to be rights imbued by God and thus them to have religious justification by acting on behalf of them. Sorry to discuss this I'm going to have to get into some obscure history. This was very much in the context of the English Civil war and religious ideas of governance. To try and simplify things a lot basically liberalism wasn't about democracy at all, the majority population couldn't vote until after WW1, it was about the power of a faction of Notables within the English state, what would later become known as the Wigs. The English Liberties once you get into them both did not supersede the power of the King and did not justify the rule by Parliament. In medieval times you had a lot of fighting over power between the Crown and the Nobility, the Nobility would try and gain a foothold in increasing their power by forcing the King into granting them 'liberties' (old at Hungary or Poland for examples of this successfully being pulled off) this was the origin of the 'English liberties' they were revoked and regained based on the context of the power of the King at the time, eventually the crown hit upon a clever idea, they granted these liberties to all Englishmen and thus stopped the use of them to the nobility which came from them being monopolised, you can therefore see the clever reversal that came from claiming they were above he kings power and using them as the justification for the establishment of an oligarchy. The creation of English Liberalism thus relates to codifying these excuses into a doctrine, especially given that King Charles II had tried the same with absolutism himself when in power. The problem long term was they though they could dominate the political system they had practically no hard power or popular support, the army and population were monarchist and they only retained power through alliances with less ambitious factions like the Anglicans (who had been alienated by Catholicism of the Stuart) and the monarchs themselves (a relationship that greatly depended on who they were, luckily for them most of them were passive or have other interests, though very few collaborated). On top of this though the electoral system has expanded basically all the old English Liberties used as a justification for power are no longer upheld or are actively contradicted by law. The mask is pretty much off at this point as most people don't know how weak the claims of legitimacy are. In conclusion yeah liberalism's the problem, French liberalism is satanic and English liberalism tyrannical. We need a return to anointed Christian monarchs and the end of the separation of church and state. Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat. If you have an interest in the history I recommend the channel Apostolic Majesty.

  1692.  @cloudy_xDD  Answered it, also I'm not a conservative Christian, conservatism is a dead letter and those guys are currently fighting a civil war over "Christian nationalism", an argument so stupid that I'm not sure how to address it, basically one side is rebranding some very old theological ideas about the proper running of states into something new, seemingly Calvinist???, and using the name that the liberals have as a boggy word. The other side is claiming that a certain interpretation of a couple of bible passages means that you shouldn't have any role in the political sphere and should just act like a martyr when you get crushed after offering no resistance and facilitating in many of the evils. It's brain melting stuff.

For a reactionary he's a pussycat, he's from the managerial class and he hold very little ill will towards the existing elite (mostly just seeing them as misguided and in decline), most of his contemporaries are actual aristocrats, the guys who were destroyed by the collusion of state and capital (managerial capitalism), they can see the crisis of legitimacy, and more so than a stereotype of a system of power that never existed (seriously, open an academic book instead of getting historical knowledge from movies) they are motivated by vengeance, which at least means no servitude for any of you.

It is insanely complicated to try to decide them from the outside, it is a nightmare even for the best most dedicated organisers with more intelligence than the human mind can comprehend. Letting the system run itself leads to better results at a fraction of the investment and under socialist systems a black market economy often overtakes the surface one anyway just for people to get by.

  1706. A lot of cope here, you marriages between virgins are vastly more likely to last statistically and while men sleeping around hasn't yet been proven to do much other than prove their character women who do so erode their ability to pair bond (it's probably less noticeable in men as they pair bond a great deal less than women in the first place and seem to entirely lack certain parts of it like the emotional connection to feel and smell), which is also important in childrearing and one of the many reasons you should breastfeed. It probably is how it is because hunger-gatherers had a hierarchy in which status seems to have accorded with the number of wives a man had and young men killed each other at a rate far worse than most wars in our histories (20% of male deaths were at human hands). It might kind of suck for people who have been brought up which our current social norms but human nature is human nature and we can't do anything about that fact, considering that current social norms arose as a result of a very outdated and illogical speculation as to human nature (rousseauianism) it becomes pretty ironic that tradition society was a good deal better at incorporating it, as becomes exceedingly obvious from the death spiralling birth rate and consistent decline in the happiness of women (I won't get into men but let's just say that the most bloody historical rebellions were lead by the class of men who couldn't get married in polygamous societies, e.g. what we are increasingly coming to resemble).

You are right about them going underground, I can tell you about a couple of their enterprises, they are heavily involved in the porn industry, often their associates produce stuff that is forced or coerced in terms of the women, they will pick up women to be models or harass them on the streets and then once at location that will force or trick them into signing a porn contract or just straight up rape them, this is a major problem and a lot of porn is produced this way. They are also involved in human trafficking. The other money maker is prostitution, but they often hook the women up to male host clubs where the women will buy male companionship, as they control both they get to double dip.

That is a very post-modern outlook and does not line up with how the elite generally thought in the past at all, those who weren't profoundly and genuinely religious (which most of them were) didn't care about the lower orders in the first place. If dealing with history you have to deal with the fact that historical elites were just a lot less cynical, and even the ones who were were often cynical in different ways (usually the belief in heresy). For the common man a general moral consensus is much more flexible than indoctrinating children through school and adults TV. It can change with circumstance and obviously the practical reality of Christian morality is not exactly the same in essence to what is being pushed now either.

  1728.  @AdamOwenBrowning  It will less be that he had connections to leather-working (it likely wouldn’t be an issue if he was not for such a family but worked in a factory that made the leather for shoes or watch-straps or some-such in his youth) but rather that he was burakumin which is much like being an untouchable in India and though it is illegal to discriminate some companies will still try to buy information on family backgrounds so as to avoid hiring any. The was somewhat similar feeling about leatherworkers in particular in medieval Europe as they worked with waste products, William the Conquerer was mocked for being the grandson of a leatherworker, though probably not to his face after he cut the noses off the residents of a town who draped leather over their walls during a siege to cite the fact (which even before they probably should have thought better of as he was well know for his short temper, with him and his wife regularly engaging in screaming match's and him once dragging her through the town by her hair, ironically he was also considered to have one of the happiest marriages of the time period as they had matching personalities (not pleasant ones mind you, but you have to take what you can get) and he was utterly loyal, unusual for nobles but especially normans).

  1730. The thing worth building is clan, church and family. Social structures, don't worry all that much on the material, clans are an organisation designed against harsh environments, church buildings are not uncommon and are not a total necessity, what matters is theology and how it animates one's life, family is worth more than the image of it, women are less material than it might seem, like a lot of young men most are silent and the loud ones are the representatives, believe me female spaces are having many very similar conversations and often hold the same sense of hopelessness. For a young woman place, meaning, love, family, purpose, all these things mean more them, they are just confused by the society and wider culture, and tempted into bad habits by resentful older women. Women are social creatures, give them a social context and a family and they will die to keep it. In others words we should act outside the wider society as much as possible, don't send your children to school, stay with family if you can, but move in with other young like-minded families otherwise. Centre you life on religious confession and clan structures, and have as many children as possible, you are the future of your people, if you don't take up that mantel they shall end with you.

  1732. Russia is doing so poorly due to terrible leaderships and staggering mismanagement. Japan is not somewhere that has to worry about that, against a first rate military power like the US, Britain or France a lack of experience could show but they largely run of models that have been proven to work even if not by them. Equipment is very good as well, the main problems would be not enough manpower (due to not enough young people), lack of will (due to anti war taking root in the population and the decline of confidence of individuals in public and private life) and indecisiveness. Japan needs to focus on family as a motivation for work rather than work as a motivation for life, not listening to westerners (they have many of the same problem as Japan but worse and are just better at covering it up and telling themselves that nothing is wrong), having lots of children (minimum of 3) in order that the society won't collapse, regaining confidence and stopping the obsession with material prosperity (Japan living costs are not bad by global standards, house prices are at the point most in other countries would kill for and everyone being a salaryman makes no sense). The JSDF is fine defensively, Japan's problems are internal.

  1736. A lot of people here seem to have taken Jordan's presence personally, for him to be such an offensive presence his insult to you must in some way be intended, personally I feel their is no way of justifying that, he has a vast body of public work and very little of it is marked by malice. To be sure he is facing personal demons, the man crys in practically all interviews these days, at least some of this is understandable given his serious battles with health and that of those around him. Yeah the daily wire acquisition has largely been very negative, they seem to have advised him that playing to his detractors and being vitriolic and irrational would help, also who've edits his writing seriously needs to do their job so he doesn't end up spewing nonsense strings of words which sound sophisticated but don't actually mean anything and just make him sound off his rocker (assuming that it is to do with the daily mail, which I presume as it started immediately after he joined the). He is certainly a lightning rod to discontented young men however he did not create them, the fact he tries to get them to buy into the system despite their misgivings makes him a deradicalising force. The social conditions and structure we are looking at is frankly not healthy, many of this issue have existed with other societies historically and they don't typically end well, for example incels were a thing in basically all polygamous societies and they were a group who's interests were literally hostile to the status quo, every single time a rebellion or conflict broke out they would jump right on board as they had nothing to lose anyway, the taiping rebellion was the second bloodiest war in human history and it was supported from the start by many dissatisfied single young men with no hope of marriage within the existing system. What I saying is Peterson's popularity is reflection of conditions not a cause of them, indeed as he loses relevance expect the dissatisfaction to manifest in much more radical ways.

  1737. Ok, number of things. The reason for the budget problems in the first place are the rankings, facilities and other irrelevant things get counted leading to a type of unofficial monopoly where less expensive options are deliberately pushed out of the market, this has been a problem since the 70's, it's not just some existential capitalist problem. Where I am the mass of Chinese students is leading to a cultural shift as Chinese run businesses catering to them have popped up and it is true that most stay in a bubble. Personally I have no issue with it as the Chinese students a world apart from the local students, who make me worry about the future. The Chinese are also right to worry about cultural influence, you don't want to pick up the kind of culture offered at university over here. They are right to think western civilisation is in a state of collapse, however there are plenty of indications that China might well collapse first, it's just likely going to be able to get up again.

  1738. Ancient Druids and such belonged to cultures considered barbarian to this day. Beyond genetic lineage there is little remaining of pre Greco-Roman and Christian morally or culturally, the later states made presences of being Imperial, Canaanite or Troyan in origin with the the Imperial veneer being by far the most deep with titles, organisational structures and philosophies all being rooted in that heritage. If genetic determinism was at play then the ascendancy of northern Europe is incomprehensible as likewise the pitiable state of Italy and Greece are. If you are embarrassed by the state of your nation or identity then stop making excuses for its negative aspects and instead adopt positive replacements from proven society's, beggars can't be choosers and there is no pride in failure. Few care that western administrative traditions have Persian roots it's the success of them that is lauded not the origin.

  1739. It is incredibly different, the centralizing of resources by not having them spread between many different schools makes a huge difference, school ethos also matters and to be frank modern state schools are so awful that they undoubtedly do more harm than good, you'd be better off by far not sending your children to school than sending them to the ones which exist at this time in this country.

  1741. It is little known but the Germans also had comfort women, including jews, etc taken from or being put to such work in camps and slavs recruited through similar false job applications. There are also quite a number of accounts from allied troops in the West encountering very young (eg 14 and under) girls at various stages of pregnancy but they aren't as well researched or attested to by German sources and the more recent hunt for victims and witnesses as what went on in the East where 14 million r*pes are estimated to have occurred though the number of victims is lower as many victims were targeted more than once and\or by multiple men at the same time.

  1742. I wasn’t specifically replying to you but rather to Mr “the germans weren’t r*pists french women respected them” the tablet version of the youtube app just doesn’t allow you to reply properly. As far as I’m concerned more crimes merely pile upon others they aren’t devalued in any way and are perhaps made more damning. When talking about comfort women it is very clear that their actions were deliberate as they resembled and were no doubt organised with experience concerning the domestic system of prostitution in Japan which was horrific in its own right and bore many similarities both in the non-voluntary procurement methods and the inhuman treatment, punishments and nature of the work which made suicide a principle issue of concern to the point were weapons were banned as they had been during the time of the samurai. It wasn’t until 1957 that the system was destroyed though of course one can never be sure if it has been entirely rooted out in the underworld, my own country certainly has similar methods used today by human traffickers.

  1743. The regular use of the word young when describing his taste in men makes me thing that his proclivities would perhaps not be accepted today either, though it would probably not raise as many eyebrows and indeed would possibly be an opportunity to bond with our own class of elites. Very like King Edward to personally worsen an already bad situation, and he was certainly one to talk when it came to such matters.

  1744. Culture plays a big role, and it has shifted far faster than genetics will be able to do. Basically every boomer I know is substantially worse as a person than their parents, and most zoomers are the same. Genetics have got worse but not at the breakneck pace that social norms have collapsed. You can put someone of excellent genetics in say the black community and they'll likely grow up to be a fantastically resourceful and efficient lazy criminal bum, the environmental factors can set genetic factors off on a completely different path even if they can't erase them. It's like a certain component of being gay is generic, but throughout most of history social standards suppressed it, since social liberalisation however it has become clear that much of the expression is not generic but rather the numbers are being overwhelmed by cultural indoctrination, sexual abuse victims, and the mentally ill. The growth in numbers can't be explained by genetics and there are plenty of non-genetic explanations.

  1745. Sure Taiwan might be destroyed but that would be relatively light damage to other actors. I would be more worried by America or Islamist terrorists (most likely with nuclear armaments as unlike America they would have a logistical problem transporting enough firepower to do any real damage) trying to do it surreptitiously so that Taiwan could take the fall. It is unlikely currently but tensions are only going to get worse.

  1750. The mum set it up so that they started scamming followers out of money even more, the son of one of the victims of the cult shot and killed former and longest serving prime minister of Japan Abe over alleged connections to the cult (though that fact that he had a house full of homemade firearms meant he was probably just looking for an excuse to assassinate someone prominent, and frankly he couldn't have picked someone more influential unless he'd gone after the Imperial family).

  1754. Forget all the grievances of colonials, the strong do as they will and the weak suffer as they must, that is a rule of history, if not the British then someone else, probably someone less sentimental and detached. The current American Empire has It's foundation on the British. Britain developed liberalism as a justification for the power of a new non-conformist elite. They have a massive role in the spread of democracy, liberalism and western advancements. They are the reason why America even exists, they are the reason Europe has been wreaked by nationalism and other liberal political conceptions. They are not responsible for everything but they play a massive part in the decline of western civilisation. I say this as a Brit, I researched my country because I love it but the deeper I get the more I can see our role in later problems. British medical advances are why there are one billion Africans. Universalism and humanitarianism is why self-negation is the ruling value system of the western elite. They undermined the medieval order of Europe more so than any other protestant state, many of the protestant monarchies retained Christian political theology, Britain did not start the French revolution but it most certainly inspired it. And it then stopped the Holy Alliance from snuffing out the embers of the revolution, it nurtured revolutionaries at home and then exported the to the world. The British empire fell because of internal subversion, much of the British elite were hostile to it and being leftists were hostile to civilisation itself. While I can appreciate liking our country, videos on it have made it clear that you don't know it very well. The masculine Christianity of Victorian colonial administrators was admirable, but it died in the 19th century, what we have now are the children of the fabians and the agents of American interests. The old culture had been hollowed out into an aesthetic even in the time of our great-grandparents. I recommend apostolic majesty to get a better understanding of European history and concepts. The origin of progressivism is very much in the upheaval of the reformation. It led straight into many of the core tendencies of the enlightenment. If you want a clue as to the foundational European conception of politics read filmer or some academic histories.

  1763. The American deep state as you call it invested a lot of energy into forcing those allies to weaken their militaries to this point, because if they had military self-reliance they would have options open to them other than taking what America gives them and liking it. Of course common Americans pay for it, but it's not like your elite care, they have stocks in the military industries.

  1764. The disarmament (literally disarm and disband the military) movement was massive in the interwar period, you can imagine how well that went when Hitler came a knocking. Anti-nuclear groups are literally funded from the Kremlin and always have been. There is a huge deal of contention over the concept of nuclear winter, the interpretation of the damage given is something like 60 years out of date. You could kill potentially billions with a famine at any time, global supply chains rely on the factors which aren't guaranteed, if they break down or lose effectiveness Africa and the Middle East are toast and many other regions extremely vulnerable. Unlike nukes there is a fairly high probability of it happening. Plus the set plan seems to be to import them all to Europe, I presume this is what is meant by pronouncements that we are in the beginning of an age of migration (in case you are wondering the last migration period killed western Rome and was until fairly recently called the dark age, here in Britain the dark age was literal (we have basically no written sources, random Irish monks often have to fill in gaps or otherwise things are just unknown) and most of the native population of England were exterminated or enslaved by sea invaders who would take over as the Anglo-Saxons).

  1769.  @iiitiberiusiii3441  It was the Russians who ended up with the things. Those negotiations succeeded because the newly independent nations were unified and the Russian’s were deeply familiar with them as they were a continuation of the semi-autonomous governments that had already been in place. On top of that despite the chaos russia still had a full idea of where they were placed and had the people in place to guard and later to move them. As things are there is no state with such inside knowledge or influence in Russia, nor would a successor state be able to hold as tight a grip over the loyalties of disparate garrisons as the central Russian state was. Nor would Russia split cleanly, it doesn’t have internal state structures designed in a way that would allow for a stable transfer of power to regional equivalents. The west might get bits of paper and their special forces might even be able to secure sites in time but in the chaos documents will be lost and things will be moved and there will be third party’s who’s special forces will be looking to secure nukes in an entirely different way and warlords who know that they are far better leverage in your hands than out of them. Even the warlords of the Donbass are more manageable than whatever would exist in the interregnum. Russia will reunify, the culture, religion and politics make the only issue that of what the borders will look like by the time they do. The new state with be different ideologically to the old, that will change their direction, and thus potential, though much of the nations potential was already given a dirt nap by the Soviets so them becoming a juggernaut again would be entirely beholden to the rest of the world screwing on an insane enough level to allow them, and the Chinese at least won’t be stupid enough to give them a grace period on that. I’m sure few thought that states could come out of a civil war or internal collapse before it happen all the hundreds of times it has thoughout history.

  1773. Shinto could probably be argued to be on the spiritual side of things but even then it would be a mistake to apply the way it is treated now to the past and the Buddhists were certainly nothing close to secular and were often engaged in lively theology. Today one can call it superstition because no one acts on it outside of ritual (they do actually but it's mostly invisible to westerners), in the past however that was in no way the case, when mothers raised little piles of stones for the children they had killed there as no question of the afterlife and when schools of monks fought the way they held their cups was the least of the issues at hand. Religion was certainly a great deal more superstitious than that of the West but no more did it mean that Hindus aren't religious, every level of life was coloured by religious conviction.

  1774.  @jacklaurentius6130  Ok, I think I know were you are coming from. East-Asian Buddhism and original buddhism are not the same thing. Certainly it is pretty different from christianity but it is also not the indistinct thing that yoga classes and hippies in the west seem to understand it to be. If you ever get into Chinese or Japanese history you ultimately understand what I am on about, the ikko ikki and the like were not philosophy clubs and the monks while not monks in the Christian sense were also far form merely being contemplators of the indeterminate. I think you might be well served to talk to an actual (that is not a new age) Buddhist.  If you know about pre-war Japanese society then the idea it was really religious also falls flat, state shinto well hard to pin down in western terms was pretty explicit in the effects it had. The place of the philosophy which westerners confused as religion really goes to Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism when it comes to Japan.

  1782.  @Zoulstorm  Left wing stuff, I'm from the old youtube days, it's been very apparent since 2017 that left wing content is pushed in the algorithms, they have got better about pushing it on people that are consistently not interested like myself but it is annoying to scroll through find a topic that is interesting and then realise that the person is coming from a very firm ideological perspective that they have not really analysed. It is not hard to know everything they will say because if you know a bit about the respective ideologies you will know exactly what they will take issue with and why. Academic leftists, especially traditional ones like Marxists (who I am personally very hostile to) are so much better on this as they will not just give a rout ideological response but will think about how his assumptions are wrong and try to explain it, they will also be aware of disagreements and a diversity of perspectives within their own canon. Sowell is interesting as he is a fairly accessibly explanatory tool for understanding libertarianism on its own terms, but I wouldn't recommend listening to libertarians as they are notoriously ideological and apply it like a maths equation, Sowell and their other thinkers can have bad logic but it's rarely blind application. My main frustration is just that the discourse on youtube is much diminished from former days, and many young people are imbibing simplistic and harmful modes of thought, especially in regards to social atomisation and philosophical nihilism, which both sides of this particular debate are culpable for.

  1783. It runs off assuming that people aren't lying about statistics and capabilities and are reasonably aware of them at least as well. Also that their actions will make sense and not be based on hubris and appalling planning and logistics. To be fair even the best military analysts were stumped by what has happened and though they had mentioned some of the problems that were displayed they weren't expecting anything like what we've seen (they are in large part still confused as even if accounting only for what the Russians can be confirmed to have they should not be doing so poorly, they have tons of artillery for example but for some reason are not using it on the scale that would make sense).

  1785. Socialism argues actively for much of what has been built, it is materialistic and morally deranged (with it's ideals taken whole cloth from Rousseau, who believed that humans were innately good creatures corrupted by the existence of society, the ideal of communism is Rousseau's ideal on man free from all bonds, if you have even a basic understanding of human nature and history you will no this is insane, man was never pre-social and making him so is a form of torture, no wonder the social reforms towards this aim have lead to an immense mental crisis in the populations on which it is inflicted). Capitalism as an ideology has little to recommend it, but it is not like socialism is in any sense an answer, indeed they are as bad if not worse.

  1787. History does matter, it is why we are where we are after all. But in terms of public feeling it is the perception of history that matters, the Scottish nationalists have been pretty good at pushing an interpretive version of Scottish history in schools and have been backed up by plenty of romantic tripe, all of which forgot inconvenient parts like the existence of the lowlands even though they are the successors to the political and cultural establishment of lowland interests and instead focus on why a government which is somehow less competent than that of England (quite the achievement honestly) should be given a whole the right to carve up the nation to their own interest and greed for power.

  1795. They weren't much meaner for the most part indeed they were a lot less than many invading party's when dealing people's subjects to them throughout history, the British were the most notable in this as it meant they could use indigenous support at many levels and decent reliability and than resistance to occupation wasn't a given especially in places where things were bad and the Europeans actions were being held to a different standard (so extortionate tax rates might not get the same reaction if you already had those plus the new guys actually root out bandits and their armies don't act like bandits themselves). In Britain at least there way a far older history of colonialism with England being founded by Norman colonizers and being deeply influenced by them and most other major European states had a history of internal European colonialism, indeed plenty of today homogenous European states still were made up of pretty distinct cultural, regional and linguistic identities being held (willing or not) in union. They were mostly destroyed through education in the 19th century but only China and Russia managed that on a large scale outside of Europe (with China doing it over millennia and in Russia a good part happening under the Soviets *cough Stalin genociding them cough*).

  1799. The EU does play a hand in all, or at least the European court does. However the issue is one much stronger on the national level in western Europe and EU viewpoints are mostly just used for legitimation by the existing elites on the issues. The much more immediate threat is the terrible birth rates, something which is very destabilising as the welfare systems rely on a growing working age population to sustain pensions and pay for health care which the elderly disproportionately use. Immigrants have been getting used to stopgap this but it isn't a permanent solution as ironically despite the arguments over integration one thing immigrants integrate into after a generation or two is not having kids. The current model places us under threat of becoming vampire states, sucking the youth out of other countries to sustain ourselves.

  1802.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  I didn't get into that rabbithole because it is indeed a rabbithole, but yes the fundamental cause of later political instability was the reformation an the attempt of King Henry to usurp the religious position of the Roman Emperor. But within conformist religious understandings the King was still a divinely appointed position even if the Catholics argued as strongly the non-conformists against Robert Filmers conception of Monarchy which influenced absolutism. It does however remain a fact that Liberalism was concocted in order to justify parliamentary power after the fact and that it drew heavily from non-conformist theology which was about as radical in it's implications as the book of Mormon. The older Christian view was retained on the continent for some time and there were fears in the early United Sates that Irish and Germans were a threat to the republic as a result. I don't particularly care about negative characterisations of my people, it is more a case of the motivations behind them, and in the case of Americans they pretty much are just a mix of English and Celts so it's all a bit childish (where as for some the intentions are very much to justify evil against us). Though it would be a mistake to think we are close, my nation is a vassal state rather than an ally and Americans live under a system in some ways more distant from the federal government than foreigners are. I would generally not trust the oath nor honour of oath breakers, but the Americans did at least display that they kept their honour if nothing else. I will retain pride as a relative of Banastre Tarleton (as a direct descendant of his brother).

  1803.  @Luannnelson547  Obviously, the divine right of Kings is of course a reframing by Whig historians of what had been Church theology since at least Constantine and in all probability long before that. The main debate throughout much of the medieval period was the relationship between secular and ecclesiastical power, namely the role of Emperor and Pope. This is necessary knowledge both for understanding pre-modern political thought and the conflicts between enlightenment and anti-enlightenment forces. They hold to fundamentally different theological interpretations of reality, and as liberalism develops increasingly morality, society, state and history. There has been a move against many of these innovations in recent decades, with historians debunking a good deal of Whig histography based in the print culture of early modern Europe (and notably it's religious conflicts), traditional Christians rejecting liberal moral influences and political thinkers becoming increasingly hostile to the role of enlightenment philosophical assumptions in shaping modern institutions and societies towards social atomisation, a lack of accountability and serious structural problems in regards to economics, fertility and happiness, as well as the long term viability of the project. Indeed all these have been raised by the soon to be Vice President of America, who is seemingly influenced by these associated intellectual movements.

  1805.  @cynicallydepressed1  Ideologies are belief systems based in dogmatic presuppositions, the idea of the separation of church and state did not change the theological basis of government, they did a magic hat trick so replace the assorted Christian groups who held sway in individual sates over into a liberal ideology and morality. It's a similar hattrick with saying religion isn't rational, the type of reason westerners assume to be innate developed out of a mix of Greco-Roman philosophy and Christian theological assumptions, indeed the belief in a rationally ordered world is not inherent to liberalism and their more radical groups are becoming increasingly skeptical of it, influenced by post-modernism. Just as laws are written in specific languages the governing of a society is going to be guided by a moral vision and foundational if not necessarily common assumptions, this means that there is a definite theological influence, whatever the organisational structure of the belief system itself. There will be a strong secular element to any human organisation, but this is largely reactive, in response to conditions as they exist, motivations and objectives will however be shaped to a considerable extent by theological views, usually within a societal context. This then gets into the territory of debates around hierarchy, once you acknowledge that is is innate then they question becomes the structures through which it is displayed, namely that a ruling class should be moral and responsible. Likewise religion will have a place in government and governance, what matters is that it's influence is positive and that the very considerable flaws inherent to humans and their resultant institutions are confronted honestly and with due seriousness.

  1809. Men are not the bottleneck on this, many many more want to have kids in our generation, if women find men who don't want kids then they've done a pretty good job of searching to find them. Men should of course take responsibility, but in large part with this sort of thing women are going for the men who are fairly explicitly not going to take it, or they are divorcing men who do. There is a reason that gender relations are so toxic. Women respond to problems by asking that men take responsibility and then complain when we do, but it is on us to do so at the same time as ignoring all the commentary and hysteria, it's pretty clear than men and women communicate differently and can't be expected to hash things out rationally. Most of the problems women complain about are ones men already want to fix but get flack for trying, your deadbeat boyfriend isn't going to shape up if you tell men in general to, men are going to stop that relationship happening in the first place and probably make his life pretty hard depending on exactly how bad he is to our group interests (which are aligned with the interests of our daughter's as much as our Son's). Men taking responsibility is actual patriarchy, that means listening to your Dad and not your bad sense. Matriarchs are mothers, if you want to be taken seriously and treated with respect you need to turn girlish entitlement into a stage of life and not a personality. I short to be respectable you have to become it. And before I'm accused of double standards men are perfectly happy enforcing our own boundaries with violence, women are getting the kid glove treatment. Because women are socially suggestable, men who can't be trusted shouldn't be.

  1810. In terms of trains much of the infrastructure isn't there and every time they try and build it they prove why so much of our infrastructure is so old, e.g. most of our internal institutions are lead by staggeringly incompetent people, indeed if they weren't they wouldn't come up with ridiculous policies like this. Also no one wants to travel on public transport with lowering public order and criminal punishments and increasing social alienation and crime. If we had a competent elite building rail networks would be the first thing they'd do anyway as they can move a lot more valuable things than people and thus lower things that matter like resource and food costs. But we aren't dealing with those circumstances, we are in a decline.

  1812. Most of Europe did not have the English system of mass longbow training, and while it was far preferable to have experienced soldiers use them a green soldier could fire a crossbow (meanwhile he's have trouble even drawing a longbow, and in many cases probably couldn't at all), even if he might not be very effective with it and may damage the mechanism. In attritional warfare the crossbow is therefore better to design for and keep large stocks of, but in England and Wales, to a lesser extent later in France and to a limited extent in Italy, Spain and the Holy Land (all of which had an English presence) they'd probably have as many longbowmen as were available for defence anyway, as they could prove potent and critical points in the battle, and the necessary of long training to even use their bows would put them among the best archers in experience, training and likely accuracy, indeed they very physically formidable so a commander would probably want them even without the bows. This would of course put a premium on them outside of core territories of training and use, and mean that they would disproportionately be available in the most important posts or the best paid ones.

  1813. These people are hill bandits, much like kurds, they were in imperial service fighting other hill bandits from over in Afghanistan, it should be mentioned that both groups are Pashtun, the British just put the border there because it was defensible (mountain range with few passes) in the case of a Russian Invasion. Ironically Afghanis are better on this as less of them are pashtun, and are rather less into kids (in the region pashtuns are particularly notorious for their preferences towards little boys). But generally this sort of thing is part of wider Arab (so broadly Islamic) culture due to religious laws around right of conquest.

It's just that the more culturally sophisticated ones (coincidentally also the more white) like theirs a bit older, though interestingly south Russians (this is to contrast them with the soviet 'russians' who did this type of thing to everyone) have some history around doing this sort of thing the other way around, especially Cossacks.

The particular echo chamber this is in is shown by the fact you think what I said was in any way fascistic, in my experience their talking points are mostly just going on about the freemasons living in their drains, thinking that a certain group are a telepathic hive mind who control everything in existence and seeing patterns in the tiles of their bathroom which will have great consequences for mankind, in short they are off their meds. That doesn’t however mean that I have much time for the people seem to think that those people are hiding underneath every dust cover, behind the face of every individual of influence who doesn’t utter proscribed platitudes on command and in the form of myself it seems.

It is better for future births and everything else if you start in your early twenties at least, the longer it is left the more complications are likely, but one in the twenties gets the body used to it and lowers the chance of problems in your 30's. Those it's really the least of our worries as average age of childbirth going up over thirty historically trends with societal collapse, civil wars and revolution.

  1849. He created a regency and then appointed a king as a successor, that's not something non-monarchists do, especially in the 1970's of all things. As said he was using the Carlists politically, coming out in support of the main dynasty would have lost their support. The idea that the church and state should be separate is liberal and in reality leads to its disestablishment, not to mention that monarchy is literally religious in its structure and justification. The church was under attack in the 30's, get out of here with revisionist nonsense. Both arguments just seem like no true Scotsman fallacies saying he wasn't though things enough, frankly I don't get the religious point, it seems confused about what the Church is in the first place.

  1850. Yep, including ignoring a lot of warcrimes, of course the republicans were much the same but two wrongs don't make a right.

Of course I was alluding with the low bar to the fact that despite his repression and tyranny the other autocratic regimes of the 20th century made him look like a humanitarian with a light touch, by 19th century standards he was horrific.

Recent historians talk a great deal about communist infiltration of the US state department when looking at this, there was a sea change in thought after Chinese documents and sources finally started getting translated into English and the severe unreliability of most English sources came to light.

  1857. The imperial Russian army was around for centuries and had many variations depending on unit and location. During the Napoleonic Wars most Russians could not read, the (regular) army was recruited from serfs, these soldiers came from villages with limited education not relevant to farming, some recruits would have come from settlements with better education but these were few and far between. Most NCO's were not literate, though it was extremely valuable to have one's who were, some units tried to teach them though most left it to learn for themselves, or not as the case almost always was. A surprising number of officers were also not literate, they came from gentry but had not received much formal education. Of course illiterate men were unlikely to advance as far or as rapidly, but this didn't mean they weren't brave and effective soldiers, the French noted how much they were, but it certainly didn't help with administrative tasks, that said the Russian army was wracked with corruption and the regimental quartermaster probably preferred that only people in on the scams was involved in bookkeeping. The main things literate soldiers did anyway was read scripture, Russians at this time were noted as obsessively religious by people who today would be seen as fanatically religious themselves. Many of the nobles who made up the guard units and elite cavalry were into poetry and French enlightenment philosophy. Though a core remained deeply Russian in their sentiments and would eventually triumph, seeing those with liberal pretensions unable to effect a revolution through the military.

I was making the point in response to the seeming insinuation that tax credits are the main motivating factor in charity in the us, the fact that it is correlated with how religious people are suggests that that isn’t the sole motivating factor or even the most important one.

The have launched religious war upon religious war against the Christians, they have raided them for slaves and done unspeakable things to their women. The groups are not friends and never will be. Jews have never been in a position of dominance above the Christians and despite that relations have rarely been warm. It doesn't matter if things like proselytizing are forbidden both it and forced conversion are practiced. Read a little into the conduct of the Ottomans towards their Christian subjects.

  1867. Look you English liberalism vs French liberalism, liberalism split off far earlier than you seem to think in this video. Also look up the lotus eaters and the five false assumptions of liberalism, even the English form of liberalism lays the seeds for what came later. Also despite the fact it very much takes for granted the particularities of a Christian society it is in contradiction to some key tenants, such a hierarchy and kingly rule, this is because as an ideology it basically came about in a fight between the king and parliament, both of whom commissioned philosophers. The parliament only won by.power and happenstance, in a truth sense most of their claims have been false from the start. Both sides claimed to be protectors of the natural rights of the Englishman, the fact that the only one remembered is free speech and that doesn't exist in the UK should tell you all you need to know, the king established these rights in the first place in effort to undermine the nobility who wanted them exclusive to themselves, if he hadn't English would have ended up Hungary or Poland where the nobles succeeded in obtaining these exclusively to themselves.

  1874. The start of the feudal period had a great deal of influence from the Romans, many of the structures were borrowed or reused. The Romans were inspired by the Persians to field similar cavalry whether heavy or horse archers and certain elements of how they fielded heavy cavalry remained past the fall of the west or was picked up off them by barbarians even before that. That said who knows exactly how much that would pass on to knights who in good part were proven as a force by the Normans going round beating bigger forces all across the know world of the time while operating as knights, given their ancestry who knows how much was inspired and how much they came up with themselves. If you are getting into indo-aryan stuff then well done, the romans, Persians and germanics were all descended from them, basically everyone was, the fact that they liked horses a lot says less than the introduction of a similar style of cavalry warfare to a region that would take it up wholesale centuries rather than millennia later. The Chinese, Japanese, Manchu and Mongols all liked horses as well, it's a pretty broad context as liking cavalry doesn't equal medieval knights.

  1876. This is fascinating, very much how certain feudal states ran things, this would have been very familiar as a concept to Charlemagne or Catherine the Great. Interestingly this was not the done thing in the late aristocratic regimes, and they had all sorts of trouble with petty corruption and disloyalty, though a wise judge of character (such as general Wrangle during his short rulership) could find men among the aristocracy of impeccable moral decency, such men rarely found themselves in positions of power by themselves. It is also interesting as it is pretty much exactly how our own 'democratic' regime functions, though the process is slightly different it is legally enshrined for the purpose, if obfuscated from the public for obvious reasons. However patronage systems are becoming increasingly visible as the welfare state starts to creak under its own weight, increasing one should expect that the wellbeing of a community will be predicated on it's ties to wealthy and influential people. As said, fascinating to see it laid out like this.

The degree to which he broke their paradigm is difficult to even convey, they are still angry about it today. Many of his actions were ritual humiliations of them, he desecrated almost all of the parts of their religion they actually cared about. Then he made the Greeks the custodians of theology. The more you understand about the period and the theological roots the more you will understand about why they direct their enmity as they do. The 20th century in Russia had a lot to do with it's claim to be the third Rome and the spirit of that which existed in the people. There is an immense amount of content in the subject. Rather more than it is possible for me to explain, at least on youtube.

  1885. Population decline is an inverted pyramid, the decline isn't steady but exponential. This will destroy the welfare state and pensions and a lot of childless old people will either strangle the society to sustain themselves, import their own demographic replacement by an alien and largely hostile people or die of starvation because people look after their own. This is the biggest crisis since the dark ages at least and if things go bad the bronze age collapse.

  1889.  @Sup_D  Less taxes and the population is less productive, but yeah it concentrates wealth. And that is almost certainly part of the motivation in the west. Though it will be very short lived as a hollowed out society is easy pickings, but I'm not sure people with no future anyway care. The thing is that the politician didn't say that, and didn't come off as intelligent enough to think it and say otherwise. Also from my understanding the Japanese elite are suggestible rather than malicious and most of these negative policies need considerable backing by the US state department and the NGO network. Though they seem to be on the trajectory to get what they want.

  1895. That men would fool foreign women is of course a scum move and they should probably be held legally responsible just to fuck with them, what she is doing is not healthy at all, I have a feeling that everything she said was just a self-justification. Neither set of actions is in any way excusable, I will say that women in general should hold out until marriage as men most definitely perceive your value in how you value yourself, and loyalty is a major thing they are looking for which the ability to hold out displays the likelihood of. In terms of men what can one say, no one likes manwhores and they are very low in character and manliness, being a reliable, honest and honourable person is a good part of being a man and men who relinquish their natural duties deserve scorn, frankly I can sympathise with the old tradition of the family of the dishonored women being able to call out such a man fight him to the death, likewise the legal accountability for oaths (and yes marriage was basically just a particular oath for a very long time and one would be held to it).

  1896. The British establishment, including the aristocracy had plenty of competent people with a practical attitude, it's just that none of them were politicians and the telephone and other fast means of communication meant that the stupid people got to call the shots because of their preminence in the democratic system. One of the reasons for the effective expansion of European empires was that the political centre would only learn about things after the fact and that local forces had a great deal of autonomy.

  1897. It's been rabbitholed but a huge amount of stuff exactly like this happened between segregation and all the white Americans geographically recreating it by moving into suburbs. They had school riots where the white girls were, well, you know, and over time multiple teachers were killed or maimed. The teachers unions ended up increasing the pay by using it as a negotiation tool, but little was done about violence and nothing was done to protect students at all.

  1901.  @slypork5030  I don't even have much ability to respond to that, it's too unhinged for me to comprehend. Harry is from what I've seen a fairly undeveloped thinker, he is inoffensive at his most profound and tends to flip flop, basically he's young and doesn't know what he should think. The LE are unwatchable mostly when you get several of the worst contributors team up to talk either about something inane or something they don't understand. The Callum Harry combo is always strong as they have good chemistry, Carl carries anything he's on, Dan is likeable and Beau has very clear principles even if he is a bit of a wig and can go off on one talking about personal takes of limited relevance. The controversial ones are Josh (because he's bland), Stelios (because he's using the platform to single handedly fight a rear-guard action for liberalism, also he's way less profound than the others at the studio give him credit for), Charlie (because he's new and hasn't given people a reason to like him, It's probably not a good sign that I can't say more than that because I avoid him) and Connor (because he's in a constant flame war with the socially liberal side of the viewership, as well as seeming a bit superficial).

  1902. He is making a massive mistake in his thinking with this, Labour are going to get a majority, that will mean they will be able to enact these plans regardless of how many opposition MP's the conservatives have and the conservatives have proven that they will only cement the legitimacy of anything Labour does. What we have the power over in this election is bringing in a opposition party who actually oppose Labour. Long term this will have a far more tangible effect that having a Tory party that might well vote with Labour if they end up with a revolt from the backbenchers, the thing to understand is that the Tories have more in common with Labour party policy than the left wing of the Labour party, the way to upset these plans is to set up a viable right wing party (reform obviously) and then try and ally as much with the left wing Labour party as possible in opposition to the Labour leader, as once the Tories are buried the right has a chance at power and to take it they need to destabilise so that these plans are hard to put through in time. Every vote for the Tories is a vote for these reforms, and a vote against changing the system. Given wider economic trends there is no way that the Labour party is going to escape becoming extremely unpopular. What we need is a viable opposition, not slightly less theoretical unanimity in making these reforms. What Hitchens is advocating is splitting the right wing vote and scattering and losing organisation at the first cry of 'the other side is worse', this is how Labour will dominate this country forever, not focusing on destroying the enemy behind you before the enemy in front. I think all of what he's saying is basically because he's a contrarian and likes telling people he was right when predictions come to pass. It is however not strategically sound or really in any sense useful, it is pride.

  1904. Interesting to hear that the marine bit was also wrong, to be fair to Josh I think the fact that he does more segments than any of the others by a significant margin limits the amount of research he can do, and into subjects that are not his speciality at all, I don't think he has his ear to the ground on much of this stuff like Harry does, that said he could at least have had a look at his wiki page. Vance is in contact with many other people on the more mainstream dissident right, he very likely knows who the Lotus Eaters, AA and various others are, if indeed he doesn't keep up with them.

Kraut would be interesting as would monsieur x, masaman, and of course Sargon who is the only one who I can see as actually being a productive person to speak to, through a few of the others would at least be interesting. Though masaman has a lot of crossover with you in terms of covering ethnic groups so he'd probably give you useful stuff for your maps.

  1928. Institutional culture. A 40 year old business man has the ability to pay for companionship. An 18 year old university girl, at a place with rankings and set up specifically to play off female psychology, yeah, it's pretty clear what the intention is. They are pimp brothels, they hook up vulnerable women with a means to drain them, in industrial times there were factory stores to stop wages leaving the business, same setup. Female host bars have a long history with organised crime, but it seems like male one's are entirely run by it, just with plausible deniability.

I'm surprised they are still operating, they were discovered to be a Chinese scam by the way, their knifes are made out of perhaps the worse steel a knife can be made out of in mass production, if you go to your local walmart or tescos the cheapest knife you can find there is very likely of higher quality. They aren't Japanese, they have a front company which is a small office possibly without staff in Japan and the knives are made in China, the whole thing is a scam making use of youtuber sponsorships. Do not buy from their company! You will only be facilitating predatory business practices.

  1943. On the point of the justification of civilian casualties the Japanese were already willing to go to the table, but they wanted a conditional surrender and the Americans an unconditional, when they surrendered all their conditions got met, but it was called an unconditional surrender because the Americans did that on their own intuitive because the understood that the reason the Japanese wanted those was than the Japanese people themselves could only be made to go alone with those basic commitments in place. Also the Americans firebombed their wood and paper cities, which killed more than the atom bombs, it also destroyed the traditional Japanese economy, which was cottage industry based, and culturally and artistically very refined. It's like if someone decided to set the Mongols on renaissance Italy, literally in some ways as the conduct of American and Australian occupation troops in Japan for years after the war was on a level comparative to the Soviets, or indeed even the Japanese themselves in China.

  1945.  @futureshocked  This is a result of the culture softening, unless you think traditional Confucian society was soft. I can only imagine what you think happened in the west, were the victorians softer than us, what about medieval people.  Fertility rates are far more correlated with religiosity than personal wealth or comfort, it being a issue of values makes sense as it’s not exactly like people were materially better off during the eras of greatest birth rates. The pension system undermining the investment kids were might play a role but China still has the old system and look at their birth rates even with the restrictions lifted.  I was talking about efficiency because Japanese put more work in than is needed, they could lower work hours and have people spend more time with their family's.
    1
  1946.  @futureshocked  If we have an issue with birth rates the past is the place to look at because many make claims like it all being economics or people not being materially comfortable enough, though the focus on those might display the values issue at play, Confucianism places priority on family, and so is like Christianity in that it encourages people to have kids and sets up a system within which to do it, even if it takes a different approach to Christianity (which is much more actively pro natalist). What I was getting at is that values and priorities are key. Working conditions are certainly better than coal mines as coal mines were particularly unpleasant, the issue is that the coal miner worked with the motivation of supporting his family, the modern worker puts their work as their number one priority, which other than being a poor motivation, is also dehumanising and deracinated from others. Priority's need to be reset, basically. With efficiency they can have their cake and eat it too, same output, less hours.

I'm thinking about 90 or so, I think Dutton under estimates the intelligence of average person if ideas are explained in simple enough terms, Harry meanwhile seems incapable of basic logical reasoning that even most stupid people can do despite having an education and linguistic advantage that is also incomparable to what they have at their disposal.

  1948. With these sort of companies if one thing is a scam everything tends to be, I very much doubt they drive out to a random bit of Scottish land and plant a tree, it's indeed unlikely they purchase any land in the first place, most of the actual business is probably just PR and certificate printing. If land made you a Lord the nobility would have been a lot bigger than it was historically, there were plenty of freemen with their own land to farm and minor gentry with estates, hell with one foot any city folk with a plant pot on their windowsill would count. Lord is a title conferred by the Crown, it is not automatically granted for anything unless you are a blood relative or married to a blood relative of the royal family who is close enough of one to just be given a title, the Prince of Wales is the main one and congratulations to you for it if you happen to be Prince William or Prince George and reading this, everyone else should just remember that the commons has their hands in the advisory committee for lords and as such is openly corrupt, so it you are a politician with some favours at hand and nearing retirement you can cash in for a title and if you donate enough (millions) to the right political party you can also do so (you kind of missed a good period for it though as during the coalition the lib-dems stuffed the lords full of their candidates in an easy exploitation of one of Tony Blair's many stupid ideas).

  1963. Basically the numbers are both true and what they mean is misleading. Putin is head of state and the question is basically being interpreted as do you support the state, a different leader would likely also get 80% or higher. Much of the older generation like our own are practically installed to the TV and thus think what state supported media tell them, same in the west, only difference is a greater variety of perspectives in terms of news itself. Most Russians are not anti-Russian, and many of those who were have left, you are basically left with a political ecosystem of people to the right of Putin, they also support him as they support the Russian Imperial project and oppose the West, but they dislike the corruption, incompetence and somewhat even the state structure, many want the Tsar back, but still they support Putin in the polls. You are left with basically people in the periphery who don't like Moscow and feel neglected. These polls are like going to China and asking if people like the CCP, that will be interpreted as China and so you will find the great revelation that the Chinese support China, for western comparison ask a Brit about the Monarchy, a Frenchman about the republic or an American the constitution.

  1964. In a sense it's more than sour grapes, women are social beings designed around childbirth, they are also pathologically socially conformist, the vitriol around children is very much their innate desires being twisted by modern culture into a very deep jealously and huge amount of spite towards what they want but are too cowardly to take for themselves. In a way it's the habit of envy to tell itself that whatever it covets isn't actually good, and certainly it is the nature of women to reinforce social boundaries, in the past they would have bullied spinsters instead of being them (though given the moral qualities of many modern women calling them such might be rather unfair to historical spinsters, the archetype they better fit is probably the whore).
    1
  1965. That's one of my points however, the beliefs don't die of as they are past down to the younger generation through a spitefully inflicted type of grooming (I suffered so you should too), the ideology might have made the women in question utterly miserable but that only makes them want to share. Also these cultural attitudes are currently socially dominant, young women feel a lot of pressure to conform, and that's the ones who aren't mindlessly going along with it as it was what they were taught in school and gets reinforced on TV and in pop culture. Really what women need to break out of this is the creation of community in which they can find place (generally men are looking for purpose and women place), and cultivate social prestige and relational bonds. I would recommend local organisation based of existing church structures, though of course the compromised nature of the church and much else besides obviously means a central organisation (a society most likely, in the vein of the free masons or fabians) would have to be created to coordinate and organise it, basically those existing church structures would have to be infiltrated or overwhelmed, but they are about the weakest area of the current paradigm due to the irreconcilable conflict between Christian and modernist ideology.

A total lack of empathy among the ruling class. The older generation being completely delusional about the state of things. Allowing foreigners to buy up the country. The dollar reserve currency. The use of inflation. The aforementioned changes to social structure and norms. Knocking down the power stations and then entering a conflict with Russia. Multiculturalism. Inheritance tax. Inheritance tax again for good measure. The financial decisions of the boomers. Keynesianism. The democratic political system. The managerial oligarchy that lays behind it. Bureaucracy.

  1972. When you talk about envying us in the west it seems like you are effected by western media as much as we are with this conflict, insane people are the least of our worries. Terrorism, poverty and crime are increasingly common and we are seeing massive population inflows from the people you are at war with, and just to be clear the behaviour doesn't change when they are abroad, the western states are just less sympathetic to the majority population and the media have better narrative control. In terms of how bad things are I recommend looking up Rotherham, in my country mass organised SA of underaged native girls by the newcomers has 100'000's of victims, the government and media response has been to cover it up as much as possible, the perpetrators get slaps on the wrist if they are even prosecuted. To my view Israel is in a way better position because it's government actually cares and the population are protected. If what happened there happened here the containment would have been successful, there would be some moral equivocation, we would be told not to hate and Hamas would be treated more as a PR problem than a terrorist group. In my country people will be imprisoned for saying these things longer than the people who did the things I referenced. We are already in a totalitarian system and most people know it, but will say it is fine because China is worse or the tyranny is actually good by the definition of the state. Europeans look at what Israel has and they want it for themselves, what they are getting is an ethnocide.

  1973. Correct, but it's not about reality, the UN and the like just want Israel to give up, because preferably they want it destroyed.

  1974.  @grimnir8872  The Magna Carta was issued and revoked multiple times, its power is the power of the ratification of the King. In it's political context similar things were signed by Kings across Europe, not for the sake of the population but of the nobility, the reason we didn't end up like Hungary or Poland was that it was later universalised so as to turn if from a wedge for further power by the nobles to a contract between the people and King that as long as he reigned they would have certain rights, by being the enforcer of these rights he became justified in powers needed to enshrine them, this is why parliament took them, they needed right to rule and liberal theory hadn't yet been constructed. Look at how many of those rights remain and tell me they were natural or that the people themselves ensure them. Innate rights are a legal fiction, and the entire structure of the English system is based upon God, it directly comes out of the feudal system. The idea that ancient Germanic traditions are anything important is wrong, most western European monarchies both had parliaments and were Germanic in origin. England was marked not by the standards of Anglo-Saxon rule but of Norman, we were centralised and the institutions were subservient, this is how we punched above our weight historically.

  1975. Yep, ban abortion and contraceptives too. And criminalise adultery. Restrict divorce. Bring back the old Japanese laws about family roles. Change education. These would all solve it from a statistical perspective, but more could be done as people's security, wealth and social context are also important.

  1976. The bit about the junkers is utter tosh, junkers were boys from military schools and they took up arms to defeat the reds, showing much greater bravery than most opponents of the new regime and paying dearly for it. Women mostly just hopped on board with the current thing, they were a useful social enforcement branch of the party but were not terribly relevant in contributions other than stupid social reforms that got repealed and brutist collaboration with groups like the chekists.

  1978. Lol, capitalism either is already dead because we have long lived in a system of share owned (e.g. owned by pension funds, and cyclical investment from peers) corporate monopolies, or it isn't going to because the next system is not going to fundamentally be different enough to not just be a different type of capitalist economy, which is defined broadly as those opposing capitalism have a very specific quasi-religious (stemming from the enlightenment and Rousseau in large part) framework they are fitting all the definitions through.
    1
  1979. Capitalism isn't a belief structures, people can hardly even agree on it's definition half the time. This is why the capitalist classes so often end up adopting belief systems hostile to their own existence, which very often works poorly as they play into the evil that they think capitalism does. The truth is that capitalism is most often just the existence of economics and the solution to it is enslaving everyone instead of paying them, you can certainly see why some capitalists are in favour of ending it, however the claim that such a set of events would free anyone only exists within the dogmatic belief that Rousseau's utopia isn't fundamentally at odds with every aspect of human nature.

  1984. It was one of the first cases of America not knowing how to fight wars, if you want to win a gorilla war you either take advantage of the interest groups within the enemy (mostly works on clan based organisations), use the British internment system, git good at intelligence (never worked to date) or just kill all the civilians and let the rebels starve to death like basically everyone before the 19th century did.

The legal history of the last century has been public opinion coming into line with whatever power did a decade before.

  1997. 1 As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all. 2 We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn: But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind, So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind. 3 We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace, Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place, But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome. 4 With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch, They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch; They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings; So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things. 5 When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace. They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease. But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know." 6 On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life (Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife) Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death." 7 In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all, By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul; But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die." 8 Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more. 9 As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man There are only four things certain since Social Progress began. That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire, And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire; 10 And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Bitcoin schemes are something to talk about with enthusiasts who have spare capital to put on risky ventures, not normies who are liable to get burned even when undertaking normal investment on their own behalf. These sort of schemes have a bad history and people shilling them to average joes an even worse one. It was extremely ethically questionable that he is using the legitimacy built up by the media company he works at to advocate dubious financial speculation. If he was saying this on twitter I wouldn't complain but just have an expectation that he would grill later publicly for it or cause the happiness of some people privately depending how it went. If one is respectable they will be measured and calculated about what they say, if someone isn't like that their words shouldn't be judged as carrying weight, at least none from them saying it.

  1999. It takes time and money to bring new energy online and the governments of western countries are actively opposed to it as it would undercut their green energy delusions by proving how overpriced and inefficient things like wind turbines are as an energy source. The Saudis also feel like tightening the thumb screws, Venezuela is a Russian ally and has an oil sector which is hideously inefficient and corrupt and Biden is up to shenanigans with America's oil production. The UK also dynamited it's coal fired powerplants, literally blew them up so the couldn't be brought back online, and likely wouldn't want to reopen the coal mines either. We are politically in for a repeat of the 1920's as this is likely to be the straw that broke the camels back.

  2002. The Italians had been fascist for ages and seemingly didn't learn very much despite heavier involvement than the Germans. The Germans did test technology and tactics in Spain however, though it's hard to quantify the value of it. The Italians also accused Franco of trying to wipe out their forces by using them, Franco made insinuations about their military worth in response. Franco would probably have said he didn't get much help compared to Soviet aid and the international legions. But he wouldn't have elaborated overly on his political loyalties as he was playing the Carlists, Fascists and minor factions off of each other in order to give none of them what they wanted, which he managed to do for decades and then betrayed them all by picking his own successor from the main branch of the royal family, though that proved a mistake as the guy was a secret liberal and destroyed the Spain Franco built.

  2003.  @Ungehorsam  The Orthodox converts are their own thing (they and the Catholic converts are in an eternal slap fight despite agreeing on practically every matter of importance), the westerners who simp for Russia tend to be incel adjacent, and the Ortho pro-russia mix tend to come off as incredibly unhinged and are usually older/in religious orders. I'm in the monarchist space and most of the Orthodox version of that tend to be settled in the west and strangely (western) women converts are massively overrepresented relative to that part of the internet. The secular guys always seem to be out in East Asia or South East Asia. Obviously there are a lot of fairly bohemian people. Russia is a fascinating country but from what I know unless you are a priest in training planning to marry the daughter of a priest (the norm in orthodox countries, not that strange the British military has similar traditions) then it's probably time to create the rule that it's not nearly as helpful to be looking for someone along national lines as it is trying to find someone with similar beliefs and values, lets just say that in general when it comes to women hunters Russia attracts more of the south east asia types. All that said I'm not an expert on the depraved side of online communities/traveling and living abroad with ill intentions, I treat the pick up artist or whatever they are currently calling themselves like they are plague ridden manifestations of scum, which they are.

  2004. Someone a bit more on the inside of education here, you can't, there are mandatory and optional classes and they have put a lot of the questionable stuff under the mandatory because they claim they want to foster 'tolerance ' (an outright lie, it's to normalize it and they literature is quite open about that fact), up might also have to get through the head master even to stop your child from going to the optional classes and they can refuse and basically always will unless you are Muslim (and even that is becoming less sure) they might also report you for a hate incidence over it. I recommend home schooling, but the government is cracking down so even that is not safe in the long run.

  2005. Circus peanuts sound like the banana sweets you get over here in Britain, there is medicine formulated to taste like it which is given to children, memorable as a good many people seem to be allergic to it and the notorious old cods liver oil has a more pleasant taste. They also come as little banana shaped sweets but are less often taken in such a form as you are not compelled to have them, they seem mostly of use in playing an unpleasant trick on someone or inducing children to vomit. I have very little clue as to why they are still in production.

  2007. It sounds like closing the country permanently to foreigners would be a good idea, devaluing the currency would be of great benefit to domestic industry. It might be good to stop English as a school subject as it is rather ineffective anyway. The focus of all political will should then be on the birth rate issue, which I'm sure will necessitate changes to social structure away from the current shallow imitation of the western model, given that many western countries have the same problem but worse and merely extend it through mass immigration the West should really stop pretending it has any authority on the matter, all their suggestions to date do not propose a solution but rather digging the hole deeper while fundamentally deracinating the country and destroying it's unique culture and heritage to become another corporate outpost with little defining identity and the wage and cultural suppression of the majority population. The West is fundamentally not a good model to build states off of anymore. Japan would be better served to forge it's own path and limit foreign influence until something like the 30 years war settles them down again and means that you won't just be importing problems.

  2018.  @martonlerant5672  I already view western states as highly dystopian, I won't however argue that Russia isn't also. But just as historically Hungary's status as a dysfunctional serf state does not mean I do not have sympathy for what the ottomans inflicted on them, even if they live under very poor circumstances I view continued existence as a higher priority than prosperity, even if both would be much preferred. I generally take this view of most groups, and if Russia was still soviet I would be overwhelmingly hostile towards them due to what they did to groups like the Tartars, Volga Germans, Cossacks and the higher estates, all of which were culturally of great value and interest, and Russia itself was diminished by their loss. Likewise the Hungarians are ancient and I support them in so far as what they are doing is in their own interest.

  2025. Betraying any trust that was put in him. A man has his honour, whether or not he fights on the right side, this man would have had more honour is he had gone full hog and actually turned cloak and gone to fight for Russia, instead he is a traitor to a cause he willingly joined and to everyone who helped him. He was saved by Ukrainian soldiers, they were the one's who got him out of dodge and put him up in a safehouse. Fine if he regrets joining a war without knowing anything, but divulging sensitive information to the enemy is a betrayal, even if it is not a betrayal to what you value it is a betrayal all the same. Whistle blowing on war crimes can be admirably, so long as it is true. Doing what he did both marks prior claims as suspect and makes it very clear that he is someone without decency or honour. Traitors can not be trusted by anyone, even those they turned traitor for. They have displayed their character more than enough, they have desecrated things sacred to any man, word, oath, obligation, thus it is clear that if there is anything holy to such a man it is unholy in the eyes of God.

  2031. To cover a number of things here. The Japanese most certainly suffered from quality issues as a result of the war with china, but as the video this is in the comments section of attempts to demonstrate, fanaticism did not necessarily equal or result from quality training and leadership. The mindset of the Japanese during the period is practically it's own subject but to attempt to give a short overview it can be said to result as much from homefront indoctrination (mostly through the education system, but the whole society of the time reinforced it) rather than the particular effect of military training, it should however be remarked that a culture of casual violence towards inferiors within the military structure, belief in the divine racial and social superiority of Imperial (emphasis on the Imperial) servicemen over civilians and non-Japanese and the social climate in a collectivist society were all big factors. The social climate ironically lead to a breakdown of discipline as reigning in troops or punishing lower ranked men for actions taken could be construed as unpatriotic or disloyal, as a result lower ranked officers were often at there own devices, much of this was indeed social perception with Christian officers and high ranking officials gaining instant control so long as they were in person to put their foot down, but misbehaviour would still continue if individual soldiers didn't think anyone was wise to them. The political climate probably also counted due to how common political assassination by young officers of people not seen as fanatically patriotic enough or belonging to an opposing military faction, senior officers likely took this into account if they were thinking of making decisions that couldn't be defended as in the sole interest of the state if unpopular. The Japanese folded in the North against the Soviets largely because of mass internal confusion and chaos caused by the result of the atomic bomb, the Japanese had plans in the event of war with the Soviets in place (and they were about as pleasant as the ones for the defence of the home islands) but were to busy with contradictory commands and rumours of an imminent millitary coup back in Japan (one that would in fact happen, but would be unsuccessful) to act of them. They engaged in a total farce of a defence, even massacring their White Russian troops in fear of them switching sides (which was never a danger, the Whites knew that capture but the Reds would equal a slow death for themselves and their families and in the west very often committed suicide rather than fall into their hands, they were probably their most reliable troops under the circumstances).

  2038. The Norman's were the one's who were ultimately responsible for the outlawing of slavery and they discriminated against it from the start, Anglo-Saxon England was certainly continuing the policy of the Norse by having so many slaves but as they were Catholics this was abnormal at very least in scale due to the strong disapproval towards slavery (especially of fellow Christians) by the church. The Norman's were Norman, they very much did things their own way, one was the aforementioned centralisation which you can absolutely bet stood against the interests of the nobility, the late traitors among the nobility even discussed the breakup of England itself. However the power of the Monarchy under the Normans meant that the lower orders were largely protected from the capricious and\or arbitrary predation of the nobility who unlike the idealistic view of late mythmakers of English freedoms were in no way guardians of English freedoms before, during or after the Normans, if anything the expansion of liberties to the whole population was a clinical move by the Monarchy to undermine attempts by the nobility to accrue privileges to themselves as was dominant in France, ruinous to the Holy Roman Empire and would prove ultimately fatal to Hungary and Poland. By making the upholding of the liberties of the population ultimately reliant on the crown they monarchy also managed to make itself indispensable to order of the Kingdom up until the Civil War when parliament theoretical usurped that responsibility, though the modern parliament seems to have relinquished it.

  2041.  @DeoMachina  Guess who is ignoring that and would have sold off the supply a favourable prices to friends. As said the government and corporations are one and the same. I have to wonder if you have ever encountered a government service, the idea that their incentive structure is any better than that in the private realm is delusional. As said the government literally holds up corporate structures, the capital used to buy up government assets will have come from your government pension, the people working within will have previously worked for the state, the legislation stopping competition and the corruption overlooking unequal enforcement is coming from within the state. I'm not sure you even understood what I said, corporations and mass bureaucracy are the problem.

  2042.  @DeoMachina  The incentive structure within the state is to do as little as possible to justify your paycheck and position, for a small business it is to one up the competition while maintaining a necessary reputation (something the state doesn't have to worry about as it takes it funding, uses debt for the remainder and faces no repercussions), the corporate incentive is to ruin the population and use state backing and sheer power to overwhelm their poorly organised and largely voluntary based opposition. Scotland might not have current problems with the water but that will be until someone makes the right offer (probably a top job in the company after they retire), the people with the decision making power don't care, it's not their possession. Scotland is by almost every metric doing much worse than England, almost an impressive achievement when you take into account how badly England is doing.

Colonisation wiped out the native population and meant the slavery, indentured servitude and deaths of countless others for the sake of ruining the dental health of generations of Europeans, it was also an excellent source of revenues for european states to spend on trying to kill each other.

  2049. Very American way of looking at it. It's not left or right, it is stupidity. Many conservative governments outside of America have no concept of big vs small government and institute policies based on interest groups, media and their entire parties only having three brain cells to rub together and bringing out the same tool that has failed them every other time it's been used.

  2050.  @davidford3115  People say that even here but it isn’t really the case, most of the nobility lost everything to the middle class (or commercial) elite. As in they were explicitly targeted, the upper class way of life was destroyed and their manors knocked down or sold off due to the tax's targeting them (and also any attempt to pass on what they had to the next generation). Even today there is a great deal of hatred directed at the supposed upper class, which is hilarious considering that they have little beyond titles and a expensive houses to upkeep and the fact that they have considerably better relations with people in the working class than middle class people do. In the UK at least the classes are cultural as much as tied to money or status. The Royal family is still around I guess but they have been continually undermined by legally questionable groups and the politicians. Technically the Queen owns everything including the people and her authority is the basis of all law (and english law is in practice based on precedent so that framework is pretty important), but in reality the politicians have undermined royal power considerably over the last 120 years, though their are still some counterweights, the military still holds primary loyalty to the crown (though historically there was still the threat that it’s members would happily march the whole of parliament to the gallows if allowed, the army being traditionally royalist and once having made the threat, an event often glossed over as them ‘asking’ for the restoration of the monarchy, they unsurprisingly didn’t have to ask twice and the regiment who did that now guard the queen).

  2051.  @davidford3115  There was a bit of that, but less than you’d think. The old and new elite really don’t gel well. Back during Victorian times it was the thing for money to try and buy into class but that included stuff like buying or building a manor, getting land (especially in Scotland were much of the old nobility had ruined themselves) but also trying to fit into the different culture through education, charity work and being active in the local community and wider circles. But that is no longer how money does things, they expect the old to imitate the new, and when that is the case there is intermarriage, but usually they don’t have enough in common for it. Through the culture is still shifting and the old aristocracy might well be wiped out, likewise much supposed middle class are culturally working class due to middle class attempts to subsume everyone. Politically speaking the working and old upper class are both conservative and patriotic and the middle class are left wing (often called champagne socialists) and have a attitude to the country that Orwell described as being more ashamed of standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from the poor box on the way out.

  2059. There is an extra traditional western sin on top of the 7 well known one's, usually left out for brevity and because the number seven is symbolic, that sin is despondency. It is not a good thing for people to lose hope, they are not prefect by any means, but to look at the state of sin and despair of redemption is to already be damned, at least in so far as one gives up. What I'm saying basically is fight on, the future is not decided until you give up, so never do so, your ancestors put you here by never giving in, to live in honour when the abyss stares back at you you better spit in its face and entrust your soul to God alone. Our enemies attempt to demotivate us exactly because they know our presence means they haven't won, we should gather, organise and steel ourselves for the necessities to come. May God have mercy on those who mean us evil, for they are the one's who need it.

  2061. Pretty sure much of Europe would fall into civil conflict themselves, switch sides or remain totally indifferent. Also their aid would be relatively miniscule as they are basically no more than American markets at this point. Securing food would become a major issue. Turkey has it's own aims, they would not support Arabia and Israel, nor would they attack them, they would try and stop a nuclear escalation but beyond that it would be in their interest to wait for Iran to exhaust itself and then pounce on their gains. Japan would likely make itself scarce and built nukes, they have not reason to back a losing horse. Australia would likely be passively pro-China due to economic reliance. Russia would not open a second front, their logistics are bad enough already. They would sweep up Ukraine, then the Caucasus, then the Baltic after giving the Europeans time to start infighting. Depending on how things go Germany could switch to Russia's side. France would immediately start invading random African countries and trying to assert leadership over the European block. The UK would have an even worse political situation from the current one, the government would back the democrats, the population would start looking revolutionary. India and Pakistan would probably go to war. An invasion of South Korea would only happen if South Korean munitions became a problem in Taiwan, the Chinese would focus on flipping American vassal states, Russia would just invade them. All parties would funnel support into pet factions of the civil war, creating further divisions. Either America would balkenise or an emperor would arise. Give it 20 years of Chinese dominance and they would fall out with the Russians and be threatened by (mainlander han) nationalists opposed to ccp rule. Christianity would see a massive revival as progressive ideology recedes in the face of the cut off of US funding and state department pressure. Major corporations would be powerful players in the first year's of conflict before people remember what proscriptions are for. One dreads to think what will happen in South Africa.

  2062.  @deborafernandes1026  I mean, it's the basis of your entire biology and psychology and basically your entire function on a society wide level, this both makes women potentially more valuable than men as mothers but means that women who won't become mothers are just defective men, at least after feminism has twisted them into a parody of toxic male stereotypes. The calling of men is to be fathers and women to be mothers, without that you are just a human resource on a spreadsheet somewhere. People call have higher callings in monastic life but frankly the vast majority of singles in our society are just debased savages responding to stimuli and blindly following predatory social conventions. The fact is that the Amish will exist in 1000 years, the modern man will have trouble with ten and be extinct in 100. There is a reason that all successful societies repressed the rights of women, first off innate rights are made up nonsense and no one has them, secondly they didn't have to because women are pathologically socially conformist and largely are the enforcing body of social expectations, the problem is that this is related to prestige and the prestigious thing for women in current society is eat her children and become a wage slave for a soulless corporation enforcing the standards of evil on a deeply corrupt society. I large part however telling them that is pointless as unless they are autistic they will only move with prestige and social affirmation, thus it is up to men to build systems and women to beautify and preserve them in order to gatekeep other women. Amish and Muslim women don't care about your standards as they are low prestige within their social context, they can safely look down on you as a skank just as you look down on them as oppressed, and what can you say, they at least have a happy family and are respected by the men in their life, you aren't even respected by the men in your own society, and as a woman you likely know how much the respect of women outside your specific clique of long-time friends is worth.

  2063. It should be mentioned that the Persian Cossack brigade were the only military force of any capability in Persia and they had been Officered by Russians until the start of the Civil War back in Russia when the British took the opportunity to seize control of the unit by staffing it with their own officers and getting rid of the Russians who were of course tacit agents of the Tsar prior to his deposition. Also that Greatcoat the Shah is wearing with the collar tabs is an Imperial Russian Officers Greatcoat. The Persians I've spoken to all seem to be of the view that this dynasty were western collaborators from start to finish, a perspective that is certainly justified.

  2064.  @FabledGlitzyGrenadier  lol, It was literally the name of the country. The name wasn't even raised until well into the reign on the Pahlavi dynasty. Prior to that Persia had been the name for millennia. It's a bit like Turkey wanting everyone to use their new name, except Iran is pronounceable and doesn't demand symbolled lettering that isn't on anyone's keyboards, so unlike with Iran no ones going to bother with their silly name change. You are lucky anyone listened, we don't call Japan Nihon even though that's what they call themselves. Names are descriptive, they are meant for the convenience of the speaker, not the self-aggrandisement of petty governments. When referring to prior than the name change everyone uses Persia because that's what it was called. Iran is based on a dodgy dynastic claim back in the Sasanian dynasty, as the royal family wanted to one up the Parthian Great Houses. Also everyone just calls us English.

  2065.  @FabledGlitzyGrenadier  Practically every foreign nation conventionally calls us England, formally they usually call us the UK. Only people with some familiarity know that Britain in the preferred term here. It was historically called Persia, prior to the mid 20th century every reference will be to Persia, and Persia had a lot of cultural prestige that many Iranian exiles connect themselves to. I've run into plenty of confused people who didn't know Iran and Persia are the same country because westernised Iranians will refer to themselves as Persian. Getting the name from the Greeks is pretty normal, our own name comes from the Romans. Same with a lot of places. China's name comes from the Qin, who were an Imperial dynasty for less than 15 years. Even in the time of the Greeks Persia was an odd name because much of the Elite were Medians. The name is so you know who they are, accuracy can be left to the anthropologists.

You aren't a princess, princes aren't going to come riding in just for you. The right sort of bloke is not going to want a relationship until he knows you, the men who cold approach are obviously just trying their luck, usually with women who are isolated among themselves. The sexual revolution as made the right sort of man very careful as he knows his type of woman is few and far between. There is a reason men are so bitter about it, there are very few respectable women about, mostly just resentful ones who think they can act one way and be treated another. The worst thing is that such women give malicious advice to younger women, and so continue the cycle.

  2072. The truth is only subjective from the perspective of universalism, this is a trick the socialists use to whataboutism all specifics when it comes to their ideology. It is true that human knowledge is fallible and limited and that we are restricted within our perspective, however all this means is that our view is an extrapolation of our perspective and the wider influences that shaped it, such perspectives are shared in the same sense that the interests of groups are shared. Sure according to the ridiculous moral standards of a leftist evil was good and good evil, but you aren't a leftist and you don't hold to their perspective. The problem with debate is that it is decided by assumed values underlying the whole thing, in a very real sense it is the practice of sophistry more than of logic, debates based on logic have clear definitions and don't entertain. From the perspective of the universe who know's what the standards of anything are, but from the standards of Christianity, Islam, Liberalism and other dogmatic belief systems it is quite clear, the world follows on from the logic of those beliefs, they certainly lead to different results but ultimately the clash of such beliefs is the evolution of human civilisation and thought. The point western civilisation went wrong was thinking that it's beliefs were universal truths separated from the assumptions underlying them, the problem is everyone else thinks what they think is true and once you have abandoned your mooring that can easily be pointed out and used to attack your confidence in the existence of truth, or subverted to justify the desires of people with malicious intentions who in a society built on principles rather than self-confidence would find the reactions to their actions rather bothersome. In the same way that animals evolve so do societies, the more successful society is the one that dominates in the harshness of reality, the reason we have been having trouble in the west is that state power has been used to force socially damaging ideas on the society through mass education and media, prior to the enlightenment societies were composed of many autonomous communities of shared loyalty, if the centre went mad the peripheries would grow in prominence due to continuing successful structures, in time the power balance would be shifted to them. Group ideas are very largely how things move as humans usually go alone with their wider setting, the pervasiveness of the modern state is likely why individuals are now the main points of resistance, but without wider organisation this small nodes of resistance do not have much ability to perpetuate their ideas, let alone threaten the power of the state. The internet has revolutionised thought, but not the social bonds necessary to put it into action. As I see it our only path is a return to Christianity, the source of the western perspective, and the forming of families and communities outside of the current regime, and so perpetuating their own beliefs generationally, given that liberals don't have kids the main problem from that point is dealing with the likely shattering of the European identity by mass immigration in the wake of the inevitable collapse of liberal governments (which like the Soviets persist by consuming), basically we get to look forward to a return of the dark ages, hopefully the monks preserve as much this time round. Of course individual states could take a different path and be left as a power among ruins, but they are globalist and wig so I don't think they want to or can even accept the problems as they are.

  2075. The EU has been very beneficial economically, politically Germany is only being blocked from normalizing relations with Russia by US interests and the loud protests of all the eastern european nations who such a thing would endanger. Politically people didn't join the EU to become subject to an empire or culturally to be erased, this is not even to mention demographics. Mocking the misfortune of these conditions is merely demonstrating my point that Poland unfortunately faces an existential threat to the West which rivals the historic threat traditionally faced from the east. Poland has similar geography to Prussia and faces a similar strategic problem, either close up a flank or be able to outfight everyone, all at once if necessary. The fact is that as things stand Russia is the far weaker threat and thus would have to concede considerably more, the main issue is internal politics on both sides and even that can be turned into a strength. Unfortunately it is currently being shown how much national particularity is tolerated in the EU and to what extent breathing room can be negotiated. It would be preferable not be in this situation at all, and indeed there is no justification except malice on the western side. The country is being told to sell its soul for further economic development, however we should remember that the EU is a decaying power and that the apple offered by the devil is always rotten at it's core.

Most likely the would militarise even further purge wets, make and alliance with Russia to divide up northern China between them (with Russia getting most of that pie) and the commit unspeakable acts against the people who had shamed them in reprisal. They'd probably burn most of their bridges on the international stage but avenge the wrong done to them and it's not like Russia would much care, it would only make them look like the better option to the Chinese.

  2081. "There are some strange people" "some sikh people", I guess us British have the most firmly established relationship with the Sikhs, they are moral and decent to a fault, not only are they no danger to women they are much more likely than common people to intervene to protect them (which is part of their religious honour code). One of the reasons Sikhs started being trusted is that back during the Indian Mutiny the rebels committed horrific crimes against the white civilian population, many Sikh soldiers opted to die alongside the civilians (when most other native troops decided discretion was the better part of valour, or else were the threat itself) in order to protect British women and children regardless of hopeless circumstances, fighting to the bitter end to defend them from violence and outrage, as such the British people have always had a great deal of fondness for the Sikhs and when other immigrant groups are at best merely not causing trouble (or in the case of the colonies are just British with an accent) the Nepalese and Sikhs have earned a reputation as being the best alongside even our own best people. Of course the Nepalese we have are mostly military veterans who swore an oath to the monarch and most of our Sikhs are the proud descendents of Sikhs who proved themselves in Imperial service, so they might be the better sorts, but that is still from among people's we learned to trust unconditionally during our rule over India.

  2091. Like anything they wrote the history books and defined the problems, if you are reasonably used to the historical periods referenced then you know that they were much less socially dysfunctional than our own society. The Soviet likewise claimed that the tsars were the worse things ever when by basically every metric the Soviets were worse and the French revolutionaries considered themselves hero's as the committed genocide against their own people in rural areas and steeped Paris in the blood of many of their own supporters alone with untold innocents, I dread to think what the supposedly worse system of before was, oh wait we know and it was pretty poor but looked like a practically functioning society in comparison to what the revolutionaries created. If we wanted an improvement of the values of the interwar period then another religious revival would have been more than enough.

  2092.  @JHouston62  I'd recommend the distributist for a Christian outlook on this as he's had recent livestreams on it. The Lotus Eaters website has a good summation of the false assumptions of liberalism. Those are probably the most condensed places to look, other than that it's mostly just reading lots of academic history, Kathrine Harvey's sex in the middle ages is a good book integrating more recent thinking but I don't know (doesn't mean it doesn't exist) of a compilation that would be helpful, same with theology, there are many great theologians but what they give is often a personal perspective more so than a useful explanation, I can only really recommend reading into subjects of interest as widely as possible and avoiding ideologues and the intellectually dishonest. The populist delusion by Parvini is a fairly good book about current political structures, as is the managerial revolution by Burnham, deeper than that and it gets into which denomination you are, Filmer's Patriarcha is still relevant to Anglican's, but not really to Calvinists, Catholics have a lot of more recent thinkers and Orthodox have the Russian classics. In terms of morality the Gulag Archipelago is almost required reading, colonialism by Biggar is good on Christian ethics. In terms of ideology Thomas Sowell's knowlege problem is very necessary, Leftism by Erik Ritter goes over some of the influential thinkers, but really to understand progressivism you have to look into Rousseau, as he is it's fountain, having come up with the vision of utopia they all seek. Rousseau basically inverted Christian morality and so one of the big issues in modern Christianity is that by accepting a liberal moral paradigm you are really accepting the presuppositional superiority of Satanism. Of course this is more complicated in America due to the greater acceptance of an earlier form of liberalism and a very different religious context (one which was and is less political and more diverse, including some groups with theology that is flexible enough to coexist with clear contradictions, often even before contact with outside contradictions, the extreme end of the nonconformists basically). Though I'm focused mainly on theology these day's I can't recommend many teachers as I'm largely ignorant, don't know your denomination and mine is currently imploding due to apostates having taken over the hierarchy. I do highly recommend Apostolic Majesty here on youtube, he's probably the best history channel on here.

  2094. They were pretty good cavalry, they were cheap, garrisoned and colonised at the same time and there were lots of them. They obviously didn't make good heavy cavalry, but they didn't need to. They performed extremely well in colonisation, border guarding, internal policing, irregular warfare, regular warfare and there were hundreds of thousands who could be called up for service. The performed well both in WW1 and the civil war and continued combat activities in WW2. So yeah pretty fantastic cavalry, not prefect, but what is.

To be fair due to the design they still would have been better in the trenches of WW1, the grand though put out such firepower as to basically be a step up from them even if they were exceptional as bolt actions (also later on it the war it was the katanas they really lowered the quality of, I've seen a late war one which had seen combat and come out looking like butter that had been of the wrong side of a hot knife, you can only go so far with the steel quality of guns before they start blowing up in your face and at that point you might as well issue them with sharpened bamboo instead).

The issue with young men in particular is that they tend to react strongly to adversity and are easy to be sold on violent solutions, at the moment this is mostly used by cult leaders and crazy people but in the long run you are looking at ready made armies for any ideologies that want to enforce their vision in the next couple of decades.

  2109. Within three generations immigrants adopt the birth rate of the country, they don't however adopt the crimerate, culture or attitudes towards welfare/work. On top of this multi-ethnic democracies factionlise based on group interests, politics becomes resource extraction by ethnic coalitions. Immigration is in a real sense a trick solution, it holds of problems temporarily at an insane price to the population (who are the victims of crime and a large welfare class), the benefit to governments is that it increases the amount they can borrow based on GDP at the cost of GDP per capita (in other words they can resource extract better at the cost of making people poorer, you can see why the western elite are pro-immigration, they hate the population anyway, stealing from them is just the cherry on top). Different immigrants are different, but so is Japan, the migrant workers from Korea and China are already the best you will get in terms of immigrant groups, if you have problems integrating even them then don't bother with other groups.

Genghis Khan killed less people (though he did kill a greater proportion of the world population at the time).

  2115. What he says about the early expansion of Islam is for the most part wrong. The Roman and Persian Empires had just finished one of the most devastating wars in the ancient world, perhaps the mosy. They were utterly exhausted in every sense by it's end. On top of this the Byzantine empire was bursting with religious separatism (it's not a coincidence that the areas with the most 'heretics ' were the ones conquered) and Persia was in a permanent power struggle between its major noble houses (the name isn't doing justice to how powerful they were within the empire). The invasion was made unimaginable easier by these conditions. The chances of someone invading Arabia were low (and would probably be directed against only a clan or two as was usually the case in the region) the chances of them trying to conquer it were below zero. Why take over land that will cost you more to manage than you can get in tax, just to annoy all the pain in the ass natives instead of using them as mercenaries to fight the actual important wars. The surrounding leaders would have chewed off their own fingers rather than even considering it (and keep in mind these guy's were often competing to the title of 'stupidest man to ever sit on a throne' alongside everything else). The bible using somewhat provocative language is not the same as killing in anger or selling women into sex slavery. One is word the other action, talking of violence is not the same committing it and shouldn't be given moral equivalence.

  2118. It isn't muck, talking about communism and roman salute ism is still relevant to today's politics, it is important to understand how the past had an affect on the current and to apply the lessons of history. Maybe it conforms to some sense of moral purpose to record the annals of China and not warn the emperor to strengthen the army and crush decadence but such a stance will prove its worth when the Mongols burn down your library and kill you and everyone in your city. History is full of people who can't see the forest for the trees, what happens now will decide the history of the future.

  2119.  @prohacker5086  France Secularised before anyone else. It's do do with social institutions and prioritisation, we no longer have courting, tight community support networks and the norm of marrying young, nor do we have the religious motivation to put a large family above personal comforts and career progression. There are a lot of factors but most are social, the economic side is more about self-perceived security and prosperity than anything that if real outside of how it motivates action. A society wanting kids would have arranged marriage, strong communities and families willing to live in a single room and spend very little. The problem is that people would like a kid or two as a lifestyle choice before they hit 40 but after they have done everything else. Financial systems can be fixed, dealing with the nature of the society itself is far more difficult.

The crimes in Israel are light compared to what we have suffered over the last decade. And Muslims have been an existential threat to our civilisation as long as they've been around, I live in the most sheltered part of europe, we still saw slave raids historically and we are seeing the mass grooming of underaged girls by Muslims gangs now, and it is all of them, they pass the girls round the men of the community, all of them are in on it. Fuck moral equivocation and universaliem, this real and we have to suffer it. We are told to shut up and endure it with the same words by those in power.

  2131. The deletion of comments as increased massively in the lead up to the election, just like with the last one. This time they have finally fixed the comment count so you can't see how many were censored by how many are missing. Likewise I have gone from having about 30% of my comments removed a year ago to 70% a month ago to 90% now, the algorithm they are using is seemingly a great deal more sophisticated and is probably an ai as you can no long avoid deletion by avoiding keywords. Last election they changed the recommendation algorithm and it led to the rise of breadtube and the moral degradation of my generation. Unfortunately it seems like the time of easy access to information is over, as in the before times were are returning to a propaganda regime which puts Pravda to shame.

  2137. The regime likes talking about a new age of migration, just to remind everyone there was a prior age of this in Europe called the migration period, also know as the dark ages, for Britain at least it is the proper term as the ethnic population of Celts was erased, genocided, enslaved and confined exclusively to areas harder to conquer like Wales. Towards the end of the period you had the Vikings then try it own again with the new population. The age of migration is an announcement that elite elite intend to burn down western civilisation so that they can rule in its ashes. Of course realistically the Muslims and Africans are unlikely to accept servitude to aliens who burnt down their own society but the ultimate long-term doom of this elite doesn't really make our own destruction taste better. The answer is pretty clearly that we must overturn the current ruling consensus as quickly as possible and put priority on the destruction of enemies above the construction of alternatives. Ultimately something needs to be constructed, but we have a hard time limit and survival is the greatest priority.

  2138. There are two groups with a history in southern Italy, the Greeks, who had cities there for millennia. And the Arabs who raided and colonised the area. If I had meant them as the same thing I would have said greek/arab not Greek or Arab. The Germans, Normans, French and Spanish were also influential in the region but mostly among the nobility, as an Englishman those groups are much more closely related than Greeks, and basically not related much at all to Arabs.

  2139. There is the claim that the Germanics are the true jews, but that's speculation if we are being nice. The Arabs claim the same thing, and in their case the Bible does say that they come from the mixed child of a Jewish leader. We come from the Pontic Steppe, but while that might be the garden of Eden there are other candidates. I prefer what we know. Which is that Germanic people's are distinct and exist mostly in northern Europe but provided the noble class to those areas of Europe that either weren't Byzantine (so never took power in the first place) or didn't remain in the hands of the Arabs (who basically genetically colonised their regions).

  2140. This story is a very common one in state regulation, luckily in this case it was merely intricate fabric, usually it is food. Short termism is basically endemic to managerial regimes, the most visible evidence of this at the moment is the birthrates of developed countries. They would rather have women contributing to the GDP than continuing the existence of the society, culture and ethnic group. The reliance on immigration is also short term, they think they can bleed off the rest of the world indefinitely to no effect.

  2142. Anti-liberal or Christian-Monarchist are probably more accurate terms. Unfortunately historians are often effected by the existing language used past histories, especially if they have trouble understanding the perspective of those spoken about and how they would describe themselves. In this case Marxist and Whig historians dominated the field until relatively recently and they like like the word reactionary because they have a perspective of history as a progress towards an ideal state of being. Personally I would say for that very reason that none of their language should be used, because it contains a religious perspective, so the words are value laden and highly misrepresenting. The Russian Monarchists came from an old and intellectually sophisticated tradition with a fundamental tie to historical Russian state building, justifications of power and explanations of purpose. They were not reactionary as they were not liberal at all, but Christian in form and theory. This meant they came from a separate tradition of philosophy from the liberals, especially as being Byzantine Orthodox in influence they did not have the Latin Christian and later reformation influences that feed into the context and assumptions of enlightenment thought. Some thinkers from this background are still respected and widely read today, despite what is trivialized as an archaic system of values, it is very hard to understand any history prior to the Glorious Revolution unless you understand pre-liberal western thought and it's dependence on Christian theology.

  2143. I don't know how many western women you know, they typically won't ask directly for money but doing very little and not having to contribute while having a cut of every pie is quite typical, there are also plenty who don't want anything long term at all. It wasn't terribly long ago that a wife would run all the finances in addition to the household, going into a relationship knowing that you can be supported seems fine so long as you can pull your own weight (e.g. wanting lots of money, to be a housewife, to do no housework and to put the kids in childcare sounds like you are just a parasite who can nag).

  2149. I've heard it from Japanese people, don't know when or if the media will ever address it. From my experience western media is at least two decades behind on Japanese trends even when they have no ulterior motives (so rarely). Japanese media is somewhat better than western, but they have deep connections with the police and will not risk them, they will come out with the stories as the police give them. The kidnappings by North Koreans was suppressed by the left in Japan all the way up until Kim Jon il straight up admitted to it in a diplomatic meeting between the two countries. The North Korean community in Japan actively facilitated it, and nothing has ever been done in response to them acting as hostile foreign agents to harm Japanese citizens.

  2150. The idea that crimes are simply not reported while true to a certain extent fails to account for the fact that it is as much if not more a fact in western countries. Japanese police are notorious for not intervening in domestic situations and for only going ahead with cases they know they will win, but it's not exactly like western police even reach that level. Japanese police have patrols and numerous local stations, this is not a capability held by British police. Also people have a very romantic image of the yakuza, they are not nice people, the reputation for honour is mostly media creation, they are mostly of foreign background, or are burakumin, they are not sympathetic to the common people, most of the nastiness in the underbelly comes from them. Even now many of the problems with the host clubs and sex industry come from them. While they were less open and brazen than the newcomers that is because they knew the game better and had more extensive connections. They are used that to mostly move into legally grey but morally repulsive areas with the recent crackdowns, but they have always been scum and still are. We have to remember that a big purpose for the western media is slandering other systems, if they have a narrative it is almost certain to be a pack of lies. The purpose of saying that Japan doesn't have lower crimerates is the same as saying Britain has no native people, it is to justify the power of our existing regime, nothing more nothing less. In Japan's case there are games journalist levels of knowledge, Wikipedia is a substantially better source for Japan than the BBC or Times, western journalists know nothing about the country and make no effort to try, when they talk about it they have information that is decades out of date or they picked up from movies, even those who live in Japan basically make no effort to get deeper than tourist level and even then the average tourist is probably much high iq and picks up more. I say this with real frustration, as someone who has tried to research the Japanese education system, these people are lazy and plain old dumb, they will talk about things that were perceived back in the 80's and forget to mention utterly vital education reforms that have transformed the whole system. The vast majority of content in western media and academic is cope or whining, and usually archaic in actual content. You will frankly learn much more about Japan from the Japanese themselves, but be ready as they are quite insulated from the west, and tend to have a very naive view of developments here due to not really understanding the underlying logic, a bit like a child looking at a drunken father and thinking that as an adult he must know what he is doing, they tend to assume we aren't just straight up idiotic with our policies and political structures.

It is perfectly good real estate, there is plentiful food, cheap prices and a large deer population, you also will live in a state that does not bear malice towards you. I'm perfectly happy to do everything in my power to pull the ladder up behind me, the japs will become sick of hearing about the grooming gangs and innately evil nature of liberalism. Frankly I think leftists should be deported if possible, but encouraging fellow White Christians to settle is a good thing, we have to survive somehow, and we won't in states actively seeking our destruction, as said the only motivation I have to stay would be working towards the destruction of my enemies and reclamation of my homeland, but one has to be realistic about opportunities, how likely is a revolution in our immediate future, do we even have the organisational structures in place necessary to secure our aims, prospects seem grim and work fruitless. Better to relocate and consolidate.

  2155. It is notably that these people impose various images onto Christianity that are simply not the case, the idea of Christianity as pacifist is itself an imposition by the humanists they they happily run with it despite the Christian God very much being a God of war, the Lord of Hosts. Likewise they claim that Christianity is Judaic, which is not true in the way they think, historically a great deal of the tensions between the jews and Christian's has been over that fact that Christians considered prophecy to be fulfilled, the Church Israel and themselves the Gods actual chosen people. This was especially resented when the Christians integrated the Roman Emperor as the patriarchal monarch imitating God, in other words the very empire which scattered Israel and who they thus were bound in eternal enmity towards. It's interesting that this theology is one could say suppressed, because it was very much the religious context of the relationship well after even the reformation. Given that the Tsar was successor to the Byzantine emperors it might explain why narratives to do with the Russian empire can outdo falsehood and end up being more than a little deranged, the Holy Roman Empire has also had a lack of sympathy, though enlightenment thinkers being proto-redditors probably has something to do with that.

  2161. It was never a hard rule really, more that cravats were near universal early in the period (to the point were the neckcloth was seen as one of the most distinctive items of European dress), they usually didn't wear them straight on the skin but over a tall collar on their linen shirts, as cotton came in and with a formalization of fashion (even further) starched (for stiffness) detachable collars (for easy cleaning) came in and were typically of upright design, it wouldn't be until as few decades later that these stiff collars started to take the form of modern collars though still quite big by our standards (and of course starched and detachable), and to be worn with tie, this change was probably earlier in children's fashion as it was exceptionally diverse. Soft cloth collars probably came in with WW1 and army uniforms though many shirts at least early in the war were collarless, pictures I've seen from the 20's show a mix and my great-grandparents still wore starched collars in the 50's. Of course my knowledge is limited and I believe books on the fashion of the period will include a lot more and better information.

  2166. As in most of these colonial states they weren't unemployed, there was little welfare to allow them to be. They were in sectors of the economy not taxed effectively like traditional farming and hunting or migratory work. Or they were being paid in cash, which is still a common practice in less regulated employment like gardening, housekeeping or farm labour. Government statistics reflect what they record, not strictly what is happening.

We didn't reach such a poor state of existence through fortune and we aren't going to get out of it without the favour of the imperial hegemon, or at the very least their acquiescence. To implement reform or build generative institutions it is vital that the current leadership and administrative class be dismantled or disestablished. It is not possible to do this without the grace of the Imperial power, nor likely without their support. We should be thankful to have anyone well disposed to us, it is rare. The age of liberal democracy (more properly termed managerial oligarchy) is coming to a close, it is our duty to see that it does not drag down ourselves along with it.

  2172. Many social issues are related to US pressure and influence, and they are a declining power that can easily drag one into conflict. The problem is that Japan must build it's own system if it is to be independent and it has hostile neighbours to contend with. Not to mention that America does not relinquish its toys, America at this point will destroy the Japanese economy if given the opportunity, as that is their MO in occupied territories, but Japan likely couldn't deal with sanctions, this is not to mention the problems internal to Japan. If Japan wants autonomy a realignment towards China and Russia and closer relations with the third world will be necessary, but this should not include concessions on immigration or defence like the US are insistent on. Japan must increase it's birth rate and accept it has a failed economic structure and rollback the obsession with corporate jobs, Japan needs farmers and the like as much if not more, not jobs that don't exist. They will need to rollback state spending and return the social system to something more Confucian, ending the American inspired social norms and moving back to a model of arranged marriage, multi-generation households and many children. The will also need to expand the military into a first rate one, especially focusing on naval and air defence. People are saying that North Korea and China are hostile cultural, while this is true and will be a pain it is not an overwhelming factor, it persists because they are international rivals, if there is a realignment the governments of those countries will probably pull the Orwellian 'we've always been friends of Japan', if Japan becomes a neutral power they will likely just start to lose interest in such matters, though they will not like military expansion. Such a policy change will need about 50-100 years to properly see results, as Japan needs to cultivate the economy, reform the social system and birth continually larger generational cohorts, however if they remain a vassal over that same period into the future Japan will not just become a husk, it will no longer be Japan, at the moment American policy is so destructive that I'm generally surprised that China and Russia make any effort to oppose it, why intervene when your opponents is heaping up their funeral pier.

Also they only go after the ringleaders, the abuse of the girls in the community was much larger, but only the pimps were gone after, not all the clients. Much of the community knew and cited the Quran in that such actions are permitted with slaves. There is also culpability on the part of authorities for actively covering up and for handing out prison sentences which are an insult to justice, and they must also face the music.

This was part of why the Sikhs were so eager to fight them, they had been insulted by being treated as inferior warriors by troops who had performed poorly against them, they saw the British as beating them fair and square, but only the British, they hated the airs of the sepoy after having been beaten by the blunt ends of the officers swords to advance on the enemy in battle and not hover around in fear while being shot by cannon. As the conflict showed the sepoys were loyal to regiment, reputation and pay but loyalty to the British was conditional.

  2194. They were not oppressed in western society objectively (which is thanks to Christianity), in other societies the fact that women are social conformists meant that they were the biggest supporters of the establishment which restricted their freedom and enforced it in the interest of their sons, fathers were a counter force attempting to protect daughters but usually failed as they left the family upon marriage.

  2196. They are certainly corrupted but not in the style of the progressive, if you ever get into the progressive loop yourself you'll find they are putting considerable thought into the best approach to subvert the Muslims (Ireland is a shitshow and progressives are cowards so they mostly aren't even bothering with that, they are happy enough that most of the republicans are under their thumb and keep the rest to slurs), they also most certainly did attack, with the nonce level stuff in majority Muslim schools, and then they backed off after Muslim parents did not back down at all, started coordinating and it looked like they were going to be called racist and intolerant of other cultures and religious beliefs. Last I saw they still trying to square the round hole.

  2202.  @SacClass650  The idea that God backs up liberalism, a secular doctrine at odds in many respects with his will. Liberalism has it's own principles that very often lead directly counter to the moral one's of Christianity. Christianity is not at all obsessed with freedom, and thus the secularising tendency of liberalism is necessary for the contradictions to be ironed over. This is why Carl has called it a universal acid before. Only Protestantism can last any time within a liberal system, and even then they will eventually have a choice, be a Christian in a liberal system or be a liberal in a church.

  2206. You know the objectivists are a pretty wild cult, right?

  2207.  @TheImperatorKnight  The subjectivists don't form one cult by many, and both groups can be wrong. Objectives are a very specific group and in my experience are very much a classic cult organisation. There are many other groups with ideas who are much less internally mad, even the subjectivists are better as they are very loosely organised for them most part so the same group psychology isn't really in place, with them being and ideological group much more than a predatory organisation. I hope you don't go down this route, I recommend getting in touch with people within the political sphere, even if I think Liney's he is a far better person to get in with than what the objectivists became. Personally I'd recommend getting into some of the Christian thinkers, they have a pretty wide reach in our sphere and even if you are atheist have a lot of ideas to challenge you as well as being very important to understand the context of western culture and values.

  2208.  @TheImperatorKnight  I'm not scared of losing my faith, the objectivists aren't very good at what they do (nihilism is a very very bad argument). I recommend the Sargon objectivist debate, he could have held it in church and had less of a religious arura with the people there. I know you are big into freedom and fairly naïve with when it comes to ideology. I honestly couldn't tell you had read much about Christianity, it hasn't really shown as you have been on the Linsey train rather than connecting the history of progressivism as a movement basically to the pursuit of Rousseau's utopia and development of liberal movements. Stalin's writings of self-justification when it is much easier to know him by his fruits. Also I'm not giving such people the benefit of the doubt, they have a proven track record of taking advantage of it and being utterly dishonest. My worry is that you will go head first into an ideology which is an extreme version of many of the things you have sympathy for. You have already shown that you have a weakness to nonsense in thinking that Austrian economics is a be all end all rather than a tool of deconstructing why our current systems are corrupt and failing. You seem to view everything on a freedom axis, the reality is that the world is about a lot more than individualism and materialism, humans are social creatures and personal interests almost always intersect with group one's.

  2209. Unfortunately western media don't know the first thing about Japan and tend to always be pushing terrible policy suggestions on it, this is a case of a broken clock being right twice a day, especially as they have many sympathies with the opposite stance in their own country.

  2210. Modern horses have been bred for an easy temperament, warhorses weren't, many of the things tried here would have resulted in considerable biting and kicking if tried against a historic knights horse. Also horses will charge a dense formation if they are well trained, or have a bad temper, especially if they have the experience to know humans are squishy. And in when in a dense formation themselves they will be pushed in a surge by the other horses and so will have no choice but to ride over so long as the riders are all reckless. In the Napoleonic wars many horses were of agricultural background and the riders were soldiers rather than horsemen, as a result cavalry was a bit of a glass cannon, though light horsemen were often pretty good they performed a different type of war, heavy cavalry became all about reserves. A knight would have been terrifying and remained so for a long time, in the Russian civil war the Cossacks repeatedly decimated large red army formations which ventured onto open ground with sword and lance, these were the lightest of light cavalry in historical understanding. Without considerable training and organisation the infantryman was in a rather unfortunate position, he was very useful as a soldier but the outcome of battle would likely not fall to him, and the consequences of loss were much more severe as he probably couldn't outrun a horse.

  2211. Unfortunately this would break the line of descent from Christ's own church.

  2213. Britain is poor, remember that we once were the largest economy in the world, and North England and the lowlands of Scotland were the industrial heartland of an entire Empire. We were magnificently wealthy, now the North of England is comparable with eastern Poland in living standards. We have inflated property prices, an expensive currency (though a fraction of what it once was) and massive wealth in the hands of banking institutions, but that is like saying Russia was rich because the Tsars had grand palaces. It is the wealth of the people that matter, not the GDP, especially when half of the GDP is the government wasting taxpayer's money literally so that the GDP charts themselves look good. Likewise debt is not wealth, even if it may give that appearance. Economically we are much worse off than Japan, this is despite the fact that Japan has had 30 years of recession, that is because Japan has kept it's people well off, over here the model is extraction, it's like living in a poorly run Serf economy.

There are basically two options: 1. they admit they aren't British and negotiate coexistence between groups (this doesn't work well in democracies but is basically how monarchies function, you get autonomy in return for service and respect for a wider legal and religious (these days ideological) framework). 2. They intermarry and stop being a separate group. If these aren't possibilities then there is no room for compromise. I recommend sousou no frierien, not because it's an anime but because it brilliantly characterises the nature of existential foes and the danger of weaponised empathy to a weak civilisation.

You can argue about the intentions (and even then many of the people running these policies put out publicly available reports on what they are doing and why), but you have to acknowledge reality. Reality is we are seeing replacement migration, reality is migrants are a massive net cost to welfare state economies. Migration numbers are not tinfoil, lean out of the ivory tower and look outside. Of course after the 'it's not happening' the next excuse is 'ok, it's happening, but it's a good thing', which you should say to the victims of grooming gangs, crime, the unemployed and those living hand to mouth because of low wages, or indeed the younger generation who have no hope of buying a house and difficulty even with affording rent.

  2230. Read some Asian history, they never developed the idea of an objective universe, that was introduced by Catholic missionaries and didn't stick until recently. Likewise Legalism was a major contributor to the state structure and it believed the common people were better off ignorant, merchants were the lowest class and that mass bureaucracy was the best system of government. It was counterbalanced by Confucianism, which was much more parochial (allowing for outside elites to restore the system after the bureaucrats had burnt in down) but is probably the most conservative ideology to ever exist, progress is in becoming more like a utopia that existed in China's mythical past, this is realised by performing ritual properly, and honouring hierarchy, family and ancestors. Taoism is mumbo jumbo and Buddhism isn't much better. Despite this their pure intelligence led to many very advanced developments, but the surrounding structures did not guard or build on them and they tended to be swept away in tumultuous times; or sabotaged for being destabilising to the social and political order.

He approval rating is real, it's just not being interpreted as is written, one of the reasons election rigging is largely insurance in Russia is that they merge the leader and nation to a large extent, that 80% support the current direction and vague shape of the regime, Putin is merely it's figurehead, if he gets replaced that support is likely to just shift over to the next guy. There is considerable dissent within that support, their are people who want major reform and a lot of it, but as they are Russian nationalists they stand behind the system in comparison to western liberalism and thus are under the 80% umbrella.

  2238. Trump is about as subtle as a purple elephant, if he says something it doesn't make it true, but it does mean he believes it. He mostly responses to flattery and instinct. He is a believer in democracy, and various other boomer sacred cows so politically he is less a real danger and more of a warning shot, the establishment however are terrified of him, and are actively destabilising the system and breaking political illusions in an attempt to banish him, this in a sense does more damage than him as it is killing legitimacy. He meanwhile is probably just going to wave a big stick for four years, keeping everyone's heads down, talk about himself a lot and suppress overly overt plans by his opponents while being incapable of dealing with double dealing from his own people.

The solution to people wiseing up to the British governments economical plan (serfdom) is that they will start importing millions of Africans, from the Muslim parts probably as African Christians are homophobic. That and making a functioning Rwanda deal with Israel to take all their terrorists and displaced populations in return for bribes and a sense of self-righteousness. Nothing in this country will get better so long as the current elite remain in place.

  2244.  @user-ww4od4jl1f  More bluing, plastic grips, new parts depending on their state (especially springs, with them watching out for weak ones as that had been a quality control issue in the WW2 production guns), tighting everything up and immersion in cosmeline for long term storage. Beyond that it a bit of a mystery, it's disputed when this was done (with dates ranging from the late 40's to some point in the 70's) and which element did the most damage, some have claimed modern shooters just haven't got enough of the cosmeline out, others that resurfacing agents got into the internals and changed the tolerances and others have had gunsmiths change out springs for them (which does seem to work). If you look around you can probably find this stuff as I've just picked it up from being around the community for years. Hopefully they didn't put all the separate parts in bins when redoing them and put them back at random because they were handfit when produced and that has been a major problem with guns like the Arisaka, with the supposed fit issues coming exclusively from Americans doing that to them after capture and ending up with loads of mismatched bolts on the take home guns (the unreliability rumours came from them putting live rounds in seized training rifles (which looked similar) and blowing the tops off, the actual rifle has an exceptionally strong action, so is safe even with much hotter rounds than regulation). If that's the case then no wonder it's confusing people.

  2245. It's a mixed bag, some of the current ones are genuine, but it attracts larpers. The government prefers the larping, and tries to get the others to play along by insinuating a return of traditional rights. The same sort of thing has happened with the All Russian Military Union. Cossacks do have a high birth rate, and connections to the Church, but the original social context is gone, and even when they form small communities the structure is different because there are so few. Some hosts were like that, but largely because they didn't have many Cossacks, if they come back it will take them a very long time, but not everyone has given up yet.

  2255. Unfortunately the socialist party continued to have a great deal of support from within the Japanese education system, the Americans banned supporters of the pre-war order from being teachers which meant that the profession became dominated by Socialist party members. Luckily until relatively recently (they just introduced lgbt education in schools) the parent associations and ministry of education were able to block most subversion, the decline in housewives due to government attempts to get women into the workforce lowering wages substantially has probably resulted in a lot less on the ground supervision and accountability in terms of what the schools are doing, as ever American influence is also very negative (this has likely happened under direct pressure from the US). Shinzo Abe's death will also be a great loss to any attempt at resistance or preservation.

  2260. A shared philosophy or ideology might be worthwhile to create even outside of such a framework as all states suffer from similar issues of inhibiting corruption, western ideological subversion, declining social systems and for Russia and China a possibly fatal population crisis. Ironically some sort of mix of traditionalist social theory (most likely Confucian and\or Christian orthodox in inspiration will get mixed with a kind of revived legalism). They could also always go back down the Marxist delineated path and crash and burn.

  2261.  @BasicLib  No, because adopting marxist thought into the running of society is pretty much just self sabotage, being how Russia destroyed it’s potential and being a component that it was necessary for China to throw off the achieve the gains it has, marxism being an ideology is religion in disguise and as such is antithetical to competing religions like orthodoxy and Islam so Iran and Pakistan would want nothing to do with it. Confucianism is a social order/doctrine which stresses duty to the family unit and social harmony being pursued through properly observed ritual and acceptance of the natural order of society and ones own place in it, it is both highly conservative and suited for the successful replication and preservation of tradition, culture and the family unit. Legalism is also Chinese and is essentially a pure distillation of authoritarianism without many of the ideological bells and whistles, other than being focused on an absolutist supreme ruler served by an intellectual bureaucratic class, other than that it is pure pragmatism, being very pro meritocracy and it’s main weakness being that it wants to rule men through legal control rather than by morals. It is the philosophy which founded China but Confucianism was the one that ruled it for two thousand years afterwards. Christianity is a totalising religion which aims at the moral salvation of humanity, as a result it is focused on the moral cultivation of it’s followers, it believes in transcendent truth and thus while heavily spiritual is also centred on a believe in objective reality in the material world (believe it or not this is very unique, Marxism and Islam both don’t agree and Confucianism either doesn’t or doesn’t care), it places moral responsibility on the individual, breaks up clan structures and is fanatically pro-life and pronatalist (that being pro having children and centring life around family). It also believes in natural hierarchy and like confucianism supports accepting the place in society that one was born into but it also mixes this with a believe in personal charity and the duty of better off to take an active role in the community and support those in need and contribute to the whole. In the west their is a long history of church vs state power struggles but the Orthodox church is an Imperial church being born out of the official church of the Roman Empire and as such has traditionally supported the state and ruler, it’s own independent aims most relate to converting non-believers, retaining believers, reclaiming lands it lost 600 and 1300 years ago respectively and destroying Islam (though the Russian church specifically has a history of subjugating it to imperial rule and common religious understanding, e.g. their understanding), they also seem to want to bring back the Romanov dynasty in Russia. Islam is Islam and Iran and Pakistan are extremists of the two opposing sects so trying to reconcile their views or even incorporate them into a common philosophy would be like mixing dangerous chemicals in a nuclear powerplant (also though both are hardline Pakistan is legitimately unhinged and their secret service is highly untrustworthy), give them something that avowedly doesn’t have the influence of the other and they will use it as far as it suits their purposes.

The Russians aren't listening to western media but their own, they obviously support the country that are a part of and they are not western liberals. The main flaw is that these polls are a better indicator of support for the state than support of Putin. The remaining 20% very likely aren't even opposed to the war, Russia has internal politics to consider.

  2271. The UK is incredibly internally corrupt and it's government (and the opposition party as well) do not represent the country or it's population's interests in the least. We are at the tail end of a century of decline and the cultural and social decline has been to an almost unimaginable extent even if the economy has been fudged into something technically still alive by Thatcher and Blair (though it should be noted that living standards for most have fallen considerably (the working class have little chance of buying a house and problems finding any decent jobs, but even the upper middle classes you'd be able to afford private education and the like and now can't, state schools are terrible btw much worse than the older generations understand), thanks largely to mass immigration (pushing down wages) and governmental corruption (selling off national assets to foreigners, hiding and ignoring crime and with the current Tory party in the pockets of property developers at a time when fewer and fewer people can afford to put a roof over their head)), this country in many respects is going to hell in a handbasket, the traditional institutions have been undermined (the house of lords means of political favouritism and subject to open corruption and favouritism since appointments stopped being hereditary, rather than a chamber full of pompous aristocrats meant to rake politicians over the coals that it used to be), traditional freedoms hard won hard been obliterated (the right of free speech and to be tried by your peers) and the state structures are not fit for purpose (the civil service undermines the state, the police don't do anything about real crime and hide the real figures of crime, education indoctrinates, the nhs is a failing money pit, social services undermines parents and puts vulnerable children in the hands of predators, the exchequer are financially illiterate, democratic systems aren't the least bit representative, the church aren't the least bit Christian and the military are a token force with a black hole hiding in their finances (presumably borrowed from the nhs), when the most respected institution is the royal family it says something about public trust in the democratic establishment), we can only hope that the coming economic disaster will facilitate systemic change, and not the kind the political class want (which is to entrench their power and erase any vestiges of accountability).

  2279. There are basically too wrong takes in the comments. One is basically "the Mongols conquered Russia Napoleon/Hitler should have no problem", strangely enough a radically different context is different, Alexander the Great was not having missiles lobbed at him, waves of drones and machinegun bunkers and artillery to fight through, the mountain ranges were enough trouble on their own. The other incorrect thing is thinking that if the Americans fund and organise separatist groups it won't lead to anything. They have managed to build proxies (usually in the form of ngos, but also by patronising local elites (notably the democratic political class, but more importantly buying the loyalty of those who might act in the benefit of the population rather than allowing their society to be destroyed but liberal social reform and economic globalisation (read asset striping), the elected politicians are not relevant to this as they are nonentities and would be incapable of welding power even if they had the motivation to try) and institutions like the media and educational establishments) based off of ideology throughout their imperial domain, they will be able to do it based off of ethnicity and religion, maybe not as well as they hope, but certainly enough to trouble the Iranian state.

  2285. Yeah no, they were being abused, kids don't grow up that fast, where as victims often try to justify their abuse. I did write a long comment about this but youtube decided to be youtube so that's basically the core of it. The 70's were a bad time in terms of that sort of stuff as the sexual revolution was easy cover for abusers. If anyone reading these comments knows of something like this happening report it to the police at the very least, really I'd recommend personally intervening as the police are useless in a lot of places but at least were I live they are uniquely harsh and effective on vigilante justice (meanwhile mass systematic child sexual abuse is covered up routinely, probably not surprising since they hire criminals and are deeply corrupt). A distorted memory or account of abuse is basically the norm, disturbingly so, what you guys heard was likely a call for help constructed as an attempt to justify it to themselves by justifying it to other people. The mind doesn't like breaking so it tends to deal with stuff like that in extreme ways.

  2286.  @ohauss  Stephen Shaw, the demographics expert has himself made the comparison as they follow almost exactly the same trend line. The trouble is people not pairing up to create children within their fertility window, whether married or not. By the way the trend line is very economically sensitive, both Japan and Italy have a long history of a fairly fragile economic order. I imagine the factor of the collapse of traditional family structures and social norms coinciding can be called happenstance, though the fact is that both were underlined by American cultural colonisation of the protectorates that make up their informal empire.

  2292. If people want a history lesson Hong Kong was basically a small fishing village taken in war by the British as a trading port with China. It was not given freely, but then land seldom if ever is, certainly the concept of annexation was not questioned when both the British and Chinese were empires. As a trading port it grew under the British into a great city, it had a British ruling class but much of it was run by Chinese who moved their and willingly became British subjects. It would be taken by the Japanese in WW2 and they committed many crimes there, the British took it back at the end of the war. During the cold war many Chinese illegally fled into Hong Kong to escape Mao, there was also civil unrest organised and funded by the communists, unlike today the Chinese mafia (they aren't called that but it's what they are) supported the British and crushed the riots however the British later realised the corruption within the police and purged it, by the late 70's it became one of the best in the world, much better than the mainland British police who deteriorated over the same period. The army had to protect the borders from the Chinese communists (ccp) and so were a constant presence. The city was a great success story, it became one of the richest in the world and stayed that way until recently. The city and countryside had been taken in different wars and thus the land surrounding the city was meant to be given back in 97, the Chinese threatened to invade and British governments are weak so they agreed to give all of it, city included, to the Chinese. The Chinese wanted it as it would boost there economy at the time massively, the agreement was that British traditional practices (freedom of speech, expression and assembly, democratic voting and rule of law) would be respected for at least 40 years, as said British governments are weak. It was handed over in 97 and the treaty was broken a number of years ago, people started being disappeared for not supporting the government and when the population protested the police were reformed to become more mainland and set on the population, the mafia attacked the protesters and the Chinese army moved into the city. Hong Kongers have been given the right to move to the UK and many with the money to do so have, in time it is likely that most will and a distinct sino-anglo culture will be wiped out. There are still ironically many ethic brits in Hong Kong and they retain the privileged position they have always had, the population have a harder time dealing with the changes and while some hoped the British government would have grown a backbone and demanded Hong Kong back due to the breaking of the treaty they have increasingly settled for moving to Britain instead. They integrate well, Hong Kong is in many ways a mixture of British and traditional Chinese culture and mainland China had little of either, the mainlanders are much more foreign than the British who they are used to and have much in common with. Also ironically loads of Chinese students are being educated in the UK now, so when they go back much of the Chinese elite will also be used to British culture, from what I have seen there will be no political influence, they recognise that Britain is basically a failed state at this point but they do have considerably appreciation for the sort of Britain that used to exist and took Hong Kong from them, basically they are impressed by the Victorians, not by the British who exist now. We will see how things develop.

The British-Indian army fought well and with dedication to duty, especially considering domestic circumstances (the navy less so).

  2303.  @voller340  My view is 100% that Europe increasing military capabilities is a good thing, I want the people's of Europe to survive and with current policies going they won't. On the America point there's a book called 'Generation 68' by kerry bolton that goes into how the right was barking up the wrong tree for most of the cold war, with the soviet union being seen as reactionary and socially conservative by the american deep state, and the student movements and the like receiving American backing and funding, not soviet. They were very active and there was a lot of money involved (like incomprehensible amounts), and got up to insane stuff like paying off respected academics to give bad reviews to right wing books, or running a radio show in California telling students how to make and use different drugs. Though McCarthy had an almost prefect record for finding communists (mostly because he went after people who had been very open about it) according to the KGB archives, he like most republicans didn't understand that the most radical revolutionaries were both within the American system and violently opposed to the soviet union, being internationalists who had been refused a world government at the end of the war by the soviets themselves (who saw it as a suggestion of global American empire), and were socially radical in a way the soviets had only been for a short period in the early 1920's (because unsurprisingly it started breaking apart the society at it's seams). Trump is a great thing, but I doubt he will be able to do enough, America needs consistent and strong leadership to root these people out.

  2306. The degree Chinese companies will follow international sections depends on the appetite for risk, established multinationals are almost certainly going to follow them, however these are only a small part of the total Chinese economy, you will have many domestically oriented companies, fronts for reselling parts and pop up companies who will react to sanctions at most by dissolving the company before reconstituting it again immediately, this style of business causes headaches for the central government themselves, let alone foreign parties. Not to mention there are immense profits involved and the central government has every incentive to covertly support such entrepreneurship, especially relative to many other economic expressions of Chinese ingenuity and lack of scruples.

  2309. We aren't just individuals, humans are a pack animal, indeed one of the most sophisticated and pro-social of them all. We were never wondering around as individuals in a state of nature, humans evolved within tightknit clan based family structures, exile was a punishment comparable to death. This has affected how humans act to this day, we treat society like a clan affiliation (and in truth it is often based genetic similarity) and fail to acknowledge that much of the elite don't feel like they belong to the clan (an elite who do feel obligations to society, as previous elites did) and indeed within democracy often have mal-social personality traits in the first place (narcissism, sociopathy and psychopathy are likely if would have selecting off of personal ambition and the immorality innate to politics). The fact is that highly individualistic societies are also weak one's, we can see this today with how people act to outside threats, a long lasting society kills opponents merciless and importantly is able to motivate it's population to suffer for the sake of the killing, frankly the sort of selfishness we see today would have doomed a society which was facing constant slave raids (as Europe was for centuries) or an existential threat. The fact is that in the game of war the most cohesive society tends to have the advantage, command and control are very important to maintaining a struggle after all, indeed Britain has historically punched above its weight due to being a more collectivist society, it doesn't sound like it matters until a subordinate loses you a battle because unsupported frontal attacks are better than listening to a coward who wouldn't order them. Seriously society is really really important to how people act, we don't come out of a vacuum after all. Self-sacrifice was a common virtue due to the fact that without it humans are very easily herded like cattle, without being led people with potentially endure any indignity, including ones much heavier than the results of resistance. There are just so many times thoughout history that a miniscule number of men have led a great many by the nose with far less trouble than deserved.

  2312. Georgians are genuinely ancient, as are Armenians, they've been kicking around since this guy would have said the same thing about the Romans controlling his country and why he sided with the Persians to fight some Arabian proxy conflict, or support the Bulgarians or something. Most European nations have roots that go back at least a millennia. Ukraine and Belarus are abnormal in how young they are. That said the conception is pretty new as nationalism is only a few centuries old, most of these states were feudal and Christian before being anything else, even into the 19th century nobility from regions like Georgia, the Baltic and Finland were loyal servants of the Russian Empire because of personal bonds of loyalty to the Romanovs, the average peasant meanwhile was totally indifferent to the political state of the country so long as it didn't mean his taxes were going up or his culture repressed.

  2313.  @dmytrodelen  Source is the book The Cossacks by Shane O’Rourke. Yes they were an estate (which is why I didn’t bother replying to the first chap, he is correct) under the Tsars but that doesn’t mean they were simply analogous to the people around them, they had a very unique culture, unique social structures which the Tsar’s were unable to properly replicate via population transfers and the induction of outsiders into the estate in other regions. They were largely self contained communities and even in the west where they had much more of a history with and among Ukrainians the main similarity was the fierce loyalty to the orthodox church, given how proud the cossacks were however of their uniqueness it would be wrong to think they were not distinct from the wider surrounding population. Wrangel is the the officer who seemed to show the most surprise over cossack loyalties which was likely because he had long served with them and viewed them as being freedom loving and having separatist sympathies (it should be noted that in many this separatism did not pay consideration to Ukrainians but was the independence of cossacks as a people). I should have also mentioned (especially as I left a half mangled sentence in there) that the were little groups of cossacks in all factions of the civil war and large groups in certain factions during certain period’s. Cossacks certainly are (and were) important to Ukrainian nationalism but the situation was a lot more convoluted on the cossack side of things and the soviets despite their treatment of Ukrainians made the attempt to turn cossacks into Ukrainians, Russians or corpses (an effort paid off in destroying all historical continuity at least).

  2315. Ironically as things have got worse in the UK much of this has been put on the backburner. Scottish nationalists are much quieter than they used to be as they perceive neo-liberalism as a greater threat to the national interest than the current political settlement itself (which is to say that the SNP has burnt much of it's good will with them), in this they are largely aligned with nationalists and populists throughout the rest of the nation (who are slowly consolidating and radicalising, notably populism is increasingly recognised as insufficient within democracy to enact change). Likewise the Irish are increasingly frustrated with migration and this has created bonds of sentiment between groups who are otherwise opposed. It remains to be seen what will happen but if such things come about it will be through institutions, as the populace are increasingly focused on their grievances with the ruling class, introspective national borders.

  2317. I'm surprised as a non-Catholic I have to explain this, there are different factions within the Church, Francis is a modernist, which means he is quite influenced by liberalism and reforming the church into something contemporary. However there are factions of much more extreme modernists, and most of them, frankly, like men in a certain way, this faction wants to turn the Catholics into something like the Unitarians, and they are powerful and well organised, after all they all 'know' each other. Also this faction is an ongoing safeguarding risk to children as like 90-95% of all the scandal has come from them inducting priests who either had ill intentions or thought that celibacy was on the way out, and then covering for them. Francis has many controversies, but this faction are constantly threatening schism so I doubt he very much likes the idea of them taking over more positions within the Church. The other side Francis does not like are the trad caths, who think the Church have gone too far, it would not be hyperbolic to state that if they took power they would release the inquisition, and all the modernists would be flushed out of the Church, this faction are a danger as they are the only part of the Church having kids and taking theology serious, Francis has tried to suppress their worship as most of them still have Latin mass and are interestingly opposed to the new order mass which replaced old worship with a new protestant style one in what was a mixture of an appeal to protestants and a coup for the modernist faction. The tradition faction has finally slowed down with infighting over whether bad things are good if the pope says so and started putting up serious opposition to the current leadership of the Church. Also there is likely an entire other level to all of this as western government backed lobbying groups fund and give good press to extreme modernists and the trad faction would literally support monarchy and restarting the Crusades (ironically not as much as recent converts to orthodoxy however) if they became dominant, politics is very much involved. Either the Catholics will go Anglican (women priests, liberal political pandering), they will become what boomer schizophrenic evangelicals think they are (demon worshippers), or they will start making 40k seem understated (deus valt, deus valt, deus valt). This is what he said it in the context of, he thinks they already have enough awful people and political enemies in the seminaries, they don't need more. Luckily there was any Italian word by which he could call them what he felt, the best one he has for the trads is misguided, I'd have a laugh if he ever called them autistic, as just like what he said it would be a neat summation.

If God truly spoke to the Arabs why instead of enlightening them did he make them backward savages and unleash them as a plague upon the world.

If their is ever a break in human record the knowledge of their achievements will also be venerable to loss.  Considering that a larger population allows for more talent to be present and the serious issues with fertility currently on display in almost the entire world which has effected the most intelligent most severely (though one can perhaps point out that it is there own fault if they are really so clever), along with a whole host of the other issues, anti-natalist ideas are only evolutionary in a Darwin awards sense, indeed the whole wig history natural progression of humanity view of things is extremely at odds with evolution which is an attempt to define a values free natural process, humans being humans can and of course will apply positive or negative attributes to that process depending on what their value set, priorities and sometimes personal interests happen to be.

Westerners, especially Americans, especially Americans of a certain background, do in fact have a rather poor reputation, we have to remember that the Japanese commit about 1/10 of the crime even white Europeans do, so by comparison we don't really act well at all. Also US servicemen have an extremely long and horrific history of sexual crimes in the country, usually this is sweep over, but when they do something particularly revolting the even the Japanese have been know to make their anger known.

  2332. As someone said they did a video about it. It's pointed out in that video that the ease of the Soviet invasion of Manchuria was largely thanks to the internal chaos that the atom bomb kicked off in Japan and the emperors orders starting to filter through. The army was planning a fighting retreat to the North Korean mountains which would be turned into a fortress and used to bleed the Soviets just as they were planning with the home islands and the Americans. Port Arthur would also be heavily Garrisoned and some units would remain in Manchuria to threaten Soviet logistics and tie them down in the same sort of nonsense that the Japanese had had to deal with in China.

  2334. @LOL Those experienced soviet troops had been seriously depleted by the war, to the point of an acute manpower shortage having taken hold. It go’s without mentioning that the Japanese troops were also experienced. However they had absolutely no chance of holding Manchuria due in part to being totally out matched in armour. Holding Port Arthur seems very optimistic given the supply situation and state of the Imperial Japanese Navy (not that they did much to help the army even at the best of times). Retreat might seem difficult but given what the Japanese were like the rear guard would probably have been more of a sacrifice. The plan for troops to remain behind enemy lines would probably also work but be hampered by the enmity of the local population and the experience and lack of scruples when dealing with resistance and partisan activities that the Soviets had but then the Japanese had plenty of the same so that might have been an interesting part of the war.  The plan to hold the mountains would very likely work. Armour would be much less of a game changer in such warfare and the resistance of the Korean people was bigged up after the war, so no grand expulsion, however given time the Koreans could provide a rising threat. Another factor is that Stalin wasn’t stupid and knowing him would not feel like playing the Japanese game and throwing men into a fortified mountain range defended by fanatics, he would very likely build up a navy in the region to attack Hokkaido when the American invasion was distracting the Japanese or to threaten the rear of the Korea line. He might even recruit Chinese to go into the meatgrinder in place of his own troops or the remnants of defeated powers militaries, POW’s and freed soviet prisoners from the west come to think of it. The Japanese plan to be such a major pain in the ass that everyone would give up after burning down all the urban areas, much besides and picking off the softer targets might or might not work, depends how dedicated to weeding out a wreak the allies would be and how much blood they were fine spending to achieve it. Stalin probably wouldn’t bother with anything to big or costly and leave the decision up to the Americans and then try to take best advantage out of said decision. The longer term things became the worse for the Japanese as they faced famine, korea and the less populated islands would become untenable in the face of enemy naval power and more and more would be fire bombed, with the allies only becoming more secure in their encirclement.

  2336. Past 36 woman's fertility is off a cliff, those how have children are part of what is called survivorship bias, many will not be able to. Also the older the mother the harder the pregnancy, and birth defects start reaching incest levels. Women should have kids around 16-22 and keep having them into their thirties, their economic contributions is insignificant compared to that that their children could contribute in a generation. It's the basics of continuing a people. In terms of economic deprivation your ancestors who had 15 kids lived without running water in a single room, your living standards are not the cause they are something you are prioritising over children. Women are meant to move in life for the role of maiden to mother to matriarch, women who don't have kids are moving from girl to W to resentful harriden with cats and an alcohol problem. Women who do not step up should not be respected at all, they should be mocked as they are beneath contempt. The only women who should be valued are those who have value, for too long men have allowed everything as if facilitating self-destruction is moral, and those men who took advantage of the smallmindness of fools are even worse and should be expunged.

The freemasons are secretive, any many of those who have written on them are schizophrenic, the most interesting angle would probably be the Catholic one as the two organisations have been in an underground war for centuries, however access to that information might be more difficult considering that liberals have pretty thoroughly infiltrated the Church at this point, it seems as though freemasons were involved in Vatican II even. It is historically accepted that they were important in the American and French Revolution, Whig politics, the political instability in Tsarist Russia, the 1848 uprisings and similar liberal revolutions, the Carlist wars and the Greek war of independence (which they started, helpfully wreaking long term Russian ambitions and leading to horrific reprisals against Greeks in Anatolia and other parts of the Ottoman empire, and eventual ethnic cleaning, not that the Ottomans didn't try even at the time, with an Egyptian army seeming to have the intention of enslaving the Greeks and colonizing Greece).

They spoke regional dialects, some derived more from Ukrainian, some more from Russian, usually depending on which host they had origins with. They were an estate in the feudal system, which is were the idea that they were a social group comes from, but to be frank aristocrats were also usually separated ethnically from the population in much of Europe, they just tended to identify with their people. Cossacks had continual separatist sympathies and didn't get on well with regular Ukrainians and Russians, they were very ethnic despite considerable intermixing, especially on the female line.

  2342. Liberalism, which is what it is, calling the American revolution conservative is farcical. Is basically the idea that the legal rights enshrined by the King in the medieval period are protected not by him but by parliament, basically it's a political power grab which was turned into an ideology, a rather poor one due to it lacking many of the components it was relying on, but one that people believed in all the same. This is fairly obvious from the conflicts of the time, people like the jacobites didn't hate freedom, they abhorred the power of an assembly being held over that of a divinely anointed monarch. The liberals twisted the argument into rights which both sides upheld, the monarchists were motivated by a religious belief in divinely upheld hierarchy. This is also a weakness of (english) liberalism, it heavily relies on Christian moral assumptions but at the same time has to reject Christian theological belief, this is fine for non-conformists (usually, Presbyterians ironically overindexed on both sides) as they are less strict with the logical aspects of the religion but it does mean that Catholics and most Anglicans are their bane. But yeah, given the context of the time they were about as far from conservative as you could get.

  2343. Martyrmade has started a series on this topic, basically it was seen as an existential conflict, and the allies were stupid enough to give fuel to that fire with genocidal rhetoric which was then immediately turned back upon them by the propaganda of the German regime. If you think you are going to die anyway you will fight, especially with family behind you.

  2344. Different parts of the US could colonize different parts of the US, there are lots of regionally concentrated ethnic, religious and cultural groups in the US. It is like Chechens, Central Asians or Cossacks could colonize a part of Russia by displacing the current population. While Russia is diverse, Ukrainians and Belorussians do not really make up that diversity, they are slavs that are ethnically, linguistically and culturally and less and stones throw and more hair grappings distance from one another.

  2351. It is not only done to preserve the edge, it is a style of wear common to eastern countries and the Russians picked it up through influence from the Turks and Caucasians, it is basically fashion. British staff officers still wear their swords the same way due to influence from the Egyptian campaign of the Napoleonic wars, but other units with very similar swords wore them western style as their own fashions were adopted from Hungary, who were influenced by the Turks in sword design but not manner of wear.

  2352. He was found, this was declassified by the Russians decades ago. The controversy was if it was him or is they used standins and buried them somewhere else so the soviets would get them. This is very likely, and Stalin would personally terrorise the NKVD for fabricating evidence in order to have an open and shut case. One of the reasons witnesses were treated the way they were is internal politics in the USSR, the NKVD had come to a conclusion and had the prisoners been taken into the hands of someone else and sing a different tale then that would be a coup for other factions within Party system. Once they had decided the story it had to be retained, even if it was one only told within the high circles of Soviet party leadership.

  2353. It's made up, they started detaining all the men and looting homes and a few of their guys got beaten off, they then started a systematic extermination of entire communities. This is a military force crushing civilian self defence militias and then wiping out the village or town they were defending. It is clear that resistance has largely not even been organised, many of the unarmed victims are the male population, you can guess what they want with the women inbetween that and them sharing the same fate later on.

  2358. Economy is probably the overwhelming factor but certain ethnicities have a tradition of military service and it has become culturally ingrained, the Cossacks would probably be the most interesting group as they have the most contradictions, though if they are even such a group is contentious as one could argue that the Soviet effort to wipe them out was successful and what we see now is a conscious effort at recreation sponsored by the state.

  2362. The most recent one I can think of is an interview with a former red army soldier, he related about an incident late in the war in which his company came across two German sisters aged around 14 whom were looking around asking after their mother. The company commander and then his officers took turns first as the interviewee remembered their screams from the barn were what first informed him of their presence, then the commander came out organised the men into two lines and you can imagine the rest (the interviewee was quite graphic but had also broken down in tears by this point and was impersonal in the whole description of the action itself never mentioning or referring to himself), after they were all done the commander shot them both in the head and had their body's thrown in a pig's trough, the interviewee recalled that later when he looked in it only their teeth remained. For context I'm in my early twenty's and given the time frame those girls were almost certainly younger than my (still living) Grandfather, it would be fair to say these events happened within living memory.

  2363. The Japanese media are often tight lipped on information they don't think the public need to know yet, they did this even with Abe's death, simply reporting that he had been shot and sent to hospital for hours after they had know he was already dead, it is likely that they will sit on any information about the killer until the police give them the go ahead. Japanese politics are volatile, it has pretty much been a one party state since the 50's but a bit like the UK at the moment they tend to topple PM's every couple of years, Abe was in power for 8 and stepped down rather than was forced, there had been talk about him coming back again as well. He was behind remillitarising the country to be able to face China, making the constitution mean that Japan could go to war in defence of it's allies and increasing foreign tourism. His economic policies helped keep the Japanese gdp stable in a time of massive aging, unfortunately he did this through encouraging women to enter the workforce which has deflated wages, meant less job security and made raising children more of an economic burden in practice, despite this he managed to raise birth rates somewhat, with Japan now having the highest of any developed east-asian nation. Before he was PM he was also involved in getting Japanese abducted and held in North Korea for decades back to Japan, unfortunately that is an on going situation as it's likely that North Korea is still holding Japanese who they claim are dead or don't have, knowing them they might also have lost the bodies in mass graves which is why they seem unable to send genuine remains. Abe was the biggest Japanese political mover of this century to date and one of the most prominent democratic leaders of the country ever, he was not just some ex-PM. His loss is the loss of the whole nation.

  2365. There is very strong pressure from American funded NGO's, westernized Japanese and straight up the US state department and embassy moaning to their government about it, and saying the western media won't give them coverage until they do it. This is one of the big things they want, the others are western ideology in schools, media and institutions, greater social degradation, more women in work and for them to be able to loot the Japanese economy through free reign to enact hostile takeovers and then asset strip. The current Japanese government are weaklings and look to give in on many of these. Also Japan gets all it's news about the outside world from Hollywood and western media, they mostly have no clue what is going on abroad.

  2372. I mean plenty of fights were by small groups of prominent knights, raising an army took time, was expensive and required a reason. Edward the 3rd personally fought off a sneak attack on Calais by French Knights after their plan was betrayed. It very much depended on the conflict, knightly skirmishes happened all the time, but in places like Northern England civilian property was often fortified and the peasants well armed, organised and motivated.

  2373. Seeing as Carl asked I'll recommend Folktales in the Indo-European Tradition by Maxwell, published by Imperium Press. It's a giant compendium of fairy tales. The introduce goes quite a bit into the origin of many of these stories millennia ago, as some research showed that a good many dated right back into the early origins of Indo-European languages. An excellent book in terms of value, content and academic curiosity. I highly recommend everyone get it.

  2385. The Japanese war was long after some of the major reforms, notably they changing of the army to a conscription model, which broke down the old institutional structures and culture and changed the make-up of elite units to not longer be composed of politically reliable nobles, something decisive in 1917. Their society was massively expanding and industriallising, but the changes caused very serious stress for a population used to the old society. The Soviets would make matters incomparably worse.

  2387. It should be mentioned that the 80% approval rating is largely because Russians don't separate the person of the leader from the nation, his supporters often literally refer to him as the tsar. It should however be noted that he isn't the tsar, if he was that support would be so concrete it would be hard to put into words (the orthodox still recognise the divine right of kings, but it's deeper than that, the tsar is the rightful emperor of Rome and the steward of Christ's Church for the true believers, eg. the orthodox. Even more than that there is very deep sorrow about destruction and evil of the Soviets, especially among younger nationalists, the more religious see it as punishment from God for martyring their holy tsar (him and his family are literally saints now) and many also have the consideration that by being survivors of the Soviet system that means they are descended from people who submitted to and served it, Russian monarchist songs tend to have begging for forgiveness as a common theme), instead the polls are largely a measure of supporting the current system, Putin is the face of Russia but the face can change, as long as their is a proper succession process, the president is ethnic Russian (though this can be countered by just being good as a leader (something much rarer than being good as a politician in basically all political systems)) and he seems to be batting for the right side (both in that way and also in pursing Russian imperial ambitions) then he will get widespread support. It was notable with Wagner that there was very little intervention before the deal, this was basically fence sitting, people know that Putin has messed up, if he gets replaced it no skin off their teeth so long as they don't die for it and the next leader is better, but whoever won that 80% would still be 80%. In terms of actual changes to the system there is the group of nationalists who are anti-corruption and pro-competence, the monarchists and the western liberals, only the western liberals are actually traitors and if they take power (like the West wants) then Iraq will be repeated, the Russian population gave western liberalism a chance in the 90's and it's their conviction that they never will again. Personally I think Putin's succession will be interesting, over time the support for more of the same is internally weakening but the Romanov's don't really have a capable heir to present, indeed they are in dispute and none are legitimate under old succession law, someone groomed by Putin in the provinces is likely it then, but that won't resolve the entrenched corruption, negative incentive structures or the wishes of the ultra-nationalists (who are growing due to a variety of factors including a high birth rate)(also nationalist probably isn't the right word at all but I don't know another which would properly encompass the diversity of groups and interests).

  2390. About the Asians you are wrong, there is considerable intermixing, some is native women converting, but a great deal is unwilling, the grooming gangs are massive and have affected the lives of 100'000's of women and girls at least. The Pakistani community is one of the most powerful within our highly corrupt and disgusting political system, that said they also hold a precarious position, literally every other group outside of the elite holds overwhelming enmity towards them, if things broke down they would be the first targets of anger not only by the British but the Black, Indian and Sikh communities, they are a protected class and have abused that protection to predate on everyone else. Gypsies are practically loved in comparison. Either this nation will be totally destroyed or it's elite will, there is no compromise, the only legitimacy at this point is in pure power, the ruling class have burnt up all good will and thrown patience on with it. This whole country is like a boiling pot with the lid on, it doesn't look nearly as volatile as it is. Ultimately people will take the form of resistance open to them, but they will remain implacable enemies of those who got us here.

  2391. Norman swords often jutted out of a hole in their chainmail so the scabard could be worn underneath, on a horse that wouldn't have worked at that angle given the cut of the mail. From the practice of later horsemen I would speculate that it is likely that they were carried close to straight down, at only a slight angle from the leg itself. Though the western horsemen of the 18th and 19th century didn't carry them that way so who knows, but it is sensible if it it is bouncing off your leg rather than your horse, it should also been noted that the cavalry of later periods tended to be extremely variable in quality due to (generally) being trained into in from recruitment rather than born into it as an estate (meaning that they were not trained in horsemanship from early childhood and institutional knowledge could be and was lost, with many of the problems the British cavalry had in the Napoleonic wars not existing a century before in many of the very same units).

  2393. I mean long term they will only get stronger, it is in Israel's interest to use it's depleting international capital to ethnically cleanse the region, and turn Lebanon and parts of Syria into a Northern Christian buffer zone. It is also in their interest to consolidate their current holdings by removing the Arab tribes within Israel that are hostile to it and removing the Palestinian holdings. The long term future is an ascendant Iran and Turkey and an America not only in decline, but with a considerable loss in Israeli influence due to changing demographics. Indeed multiculturalism in the West will mean that increasingly Israel will be the only safe territory for Jews, not the newly sectarian societies are going to be particularly safe for anyone else.

The 9 who made it to Pitciairn Island were most likely child r*pists, certainly their descendants were, with their crimes against the women and girls of the island only being uncovered in the 2000's, perpetrators (including the mayor) being incensed by the resulting legal charges and claiming that what they did was just "Polynesian culture". Given the accounts of it being a deeply rooted tradition by older women on the island it was mostly likely a tradition passed down from the mutineers and their likely kidnapping of the women they would bring with them to the island (oh yeah, and the reason why there was only one left when the British got there is that they had killed each other). These days the islands are mostly know for having the most sex offenders per foot of anywhere in the world and the islanders running an online scam where they claim to offer residency if you send send them money and then decline the application.

  2398. The Victorians knew as much or more than us today, it's just that not all of that information was correct, but it was still logical given the knowledge they had and the assumptions they made. Education was variable depending on the period of the Victorian era, philosophy, rhetoric, theology and moral teaching were much more widely understood on average partly because of a greater focus and partly because it was seen as more important at the time by individuals in becoming a well rounded and decent person. Higher end education was in all likelihood of much greater quality even with the bunk included due to a greater emphasis on self-reliance and basically no room for fools or nonsense. Lower end was a great deal worse especially in some independent schools where there was no room for learning at all, the average however especially later on was very decent even if focused on basics they often managed to do a lot more with a lot less (policies like having older children teach younger was very cost efficient). The direction of schools was often quite different, with the focus much more being on practical skills and moral development along with the skills to be able to learn more if motivated, child would have no leniency about learning the basics (literacy, maths and if a girl sewing) and to be a contributing member of society but they was not pressure to learn a vast curriculum of questionably relevant content, from the system at least, parents were a different matter and talented students would often catch the eye of teachers and be directed towards scholarships (with them often becoming teachers themselves).

  2400. A couple of points, Logic, rationality and belief in objective truth are literally Christian dogmas, it comes from believing in a rational God, no other societies have this to the same extreme and the left has rejected it with postmodernism, or the belief that literally everything is dictated by power. The right needs to organise massively, they are very much on the back foot and they also need to come up with that unified theology you are talking about. Christianity is going to win but it will be toothless unless is is a more pure form of Christianity which rejects the enlightenment and generally the individualist interpretation with underpins Protestantism, personally I think the winning theology will come from Protestantism in terms of its origin but in actual dogma and nature it will be a masculine and fanatical iteration of medieval Catholicism. It is forgotten that most of the violence of mass executions and the like were post-medieval, however I think that this movement will inevitably learn from the communists and offer repentance or death as the only option. Expect a population explosion, new colonisation, anti-Muslim genocide in Europe and near constant Crusades against any holdouts in the world. State power will also almost certainly decline, a very English interpretation of legal rights and personal freedom and the return of monarchy as a system of civil government (if the British royal family don't mess up there reputation they could end up in charge of the US again, though if that happened their lack of practical power would only empower the theocrats). Expect moral crusades like those of the Imperial British against slavery to be enacted against South American drug cartels and any and all types of human trafficking. Ironically the biggest upset to this new order would likely be India as they both have nukes and are pagan, Russia and China are already in danger of flipping elites, China would probably end up with an emperor but I can't say other than that and in Russia the orthodox would bring the Romanovs back and pretend the revolution never happened. In the case of moderation factors inbuilt in the enlightenment would simply try to destroy our society like they have for the past two centuries (e.g. The assumption of a particular social context created by the implementation of Christianity for over a millennia being universal and innate to man and the whole Rousseau literally inverting the Christian moral system and then setting everyone off on a path to a false utopia thing). We gone though a continual back and forth as a result of it, with society itself degrading each time. If this doesn't get sorted now with will likely be suffering under a see sawing decline for centuries to come until there arises a barbarian group strong enough to finally take us behind the barn.

  2403. This sounds like 4d chess from that stupid part of the American government that which lost Afghanistan and back in the day lost Iran to revolution. It is entirely in Israel's interest to destabilise the region as it's countries are as likely to go after each other as them. Arabia is the foremost paper tiger of the region, they have a lot of leverage with America due to their oil backing up the dollar in global trade, but basically any defensive alliance is just defending a state from outside threats that is already totally reliant on a pre-existing alliance to not be toppled by internal threats. My main concern is how many of these lovely Hamas chaps will be welcomed into Europe as a result of all this. For me the Israelis committing a genocide is a far better outcome than them deporting or leaving as is a population who do the sort of things we saw over the last week and have done similar at a much greater scale across Europe and in my home country. Universalism in false, my family and people are worth more than enemy outsiders, if advisers had told Alfred the Great to not fight the Vikings but welcome them in his option would thus be to punish obvious traitors and cowards or to listen and be killed by doing such. This is basically the same logic that says Ukraine should just roll over and let the strong do as they will and the weak suffer as they must.

My question is why they thought was they did about the Slavs despite the notably presence of emigres among their movement and aligned ones from the start and the fact quite plainly related in the books of the time that the two people's were related (extremely closely in fact), as also are several others (Celts on one hand, Ossetians being representative of a different type of ancient people from the common origin on the other).

Pagans do not get to decide what our theology is, especially when they cite stuff that only christians reinterpreting scripture though a liberal framework of belief think (e.g. they are liberals who want to justify liberalism with scripture). If we were as they say Paganism would not have lost to us, these same people are upset because paganism was suppressed violently by Christianity once we had power. We have not reason to conform to what other people say being a Christian should mean, it is not in good faith.

It should also be mentioned that the British light and heavy cavalry sabres were based on Austrian models, the army the French fought the most, they had been dealing with these designs since the revolution itself. Everything we know suggests they if they thought anything it was that they were insufficient at the thrust and thus inferior to their own swords.

  2420. Personally I love the winter weather, wish it was more like Dartmoor, with lots of fog and snow. But yeah, the country's been in sharp decline for a century now, places like the North used to be some of the most affluent in the world, the centre of global industry, not they are about the level of rural east poland and heading towards a backwater by Russian standards. It should be noted that everything is a part of deliberate policy, the government have been making these changes intentionally and if you know some of the other stuff going on you'll know that they just have the worst most negative intentions at heart, doesn't matter on the party they are all like this, and more importantly our civil service is. Likewise natives are being frozen out of employment, they cap the numbers of doctors that can be trained for example, complain about shortages and then bring in ones with fake credentials from abroad. Nothing's going to be fixed until the current ruling class are gone, they are the root cause of everything, not a thing in this country is wrecked that doesn't have their mitts all over it. Britain is full of talent and genius, it would not be hard to have it rise again, it just needs to be broken free from the chains, it's ridiculous how many good things have been destroyed out of malice over past decades. It's not like we are actually poor, you'd be amazed at where the money goes, you have in with the government and you are set for life, the whole charitable sector is a scam, as are the government contacts. Also those barbers shops are money laundering, drugs and human trafficking, if you are luckily that's bringing people in, if you are in the know you will know the first two things are related and why these blokes are always outside primary schools.

Nor do I see solving those problems to have any conflict with traditionalism, and if it did then that doesn’t matter, traditionalism is useful in so far as it is of use in solving current issues, a dogmatic approach would turn medicine into poison.

  2427. You could see him having a clear stress response to their accusations. Bombers don't really get internet culture and they tend to be quite volatile if provoked in such a matter, they don't really get that people are not being 100% serious and having a bit of a lark. Alcohol is usually involved in cases like this. In the medieval or early modern period they likely would have counted insult to honour as an extenuating circumstance, even in today's honour culture in the moment it is very difficult to restrain oneself from violence if placed in such a situation. The fact he lied about it is on him. Had the situation developed for a minute or two further he might well have been justified in using deadly force, as they seemed to be escalating towards violence. As things stood he was in a situation which psychologically will bring out the worst in you, he probably should have got 10-15 years, five if no one had died. Don't go putting people in corners if you don't want to see what they are capable of.

  2437. Jesus was the King of the Jews, the Messiah and the son of God. From the time of his crucifixion however Judaism split in two, one group acknowledged Jesus, inducted gentiles and abandoned many of the Jewish religious and cultural practices, and the other rejected him and built on theologically without him. It didn't take long for the two to diverge wildly, and historically they didn't have the best relations, though to religious leaders of both insisted on tolerance. The move towards closer relations has to do with non-conformist protestant groups who took the idea of the English being a lost tribe of Israel a bit seriously (such claims had a longer history, but were accompanied with claims of coming from Troy, being Roman and many other similar myths), they also believed that the return of Jews to Israel was important to end times prophecy (no seriously). The other cause of relaxation has been increasing secularization, that however cuts both ways as it also makes westerners very naive about many of Israel's enemies, who historically speaking were shared enemies of the Christian's. Long term attitudes are actually a serious threat as Israel will likely be isolated by changing demographics in the west, and Jews will be vulnerable living in it. The Christians might have been hostile to free expressions of Judaism but they were also capable of self-defence and overwhelming hostile to groups who pose a shared existential threat. As things stand Israel is in political danger of being outmanoeuvred into the position of isolation South Africa and Rhodesia once held, and strategically it is in the position of the crusader states, it might be highly competent but is has to be, due to limited strategic depth it has a very limited capacity for failure. And due to it's alliance structure it can't remedy the situation though territorial expansion. Really it would be wise for Israel to make friends in the Christian camp as they have aligned interests, however I haven't seen this happening, they seem to confident with how Judaphilic Christians act, and make unnecessary enemies by not offering baseline concessions (that both groups deserve to exist for example) and expecting subservience, I have watched it unravel over this conflict and it is sad to see the inability to make easy wins. I have to wonder what the future of Israel will be if they continue to rely on the incompetence of their enemies.

  2438. Hitler protected the jews he knew, at times of weakness within the party they were in danger but the people pressuring him to give up his friends were focused on people they had personal feuds with, going after a sick young girl would only inflame the wrath of Hitler once he and solidified his power within the political system and started going after people who had taken advantage of the period of weakness.

They seem to think he was playing western preconceptions to hide his Iranian sympathies, and these types do typically rather more openly in Arabic and among themselves, it is entirely likely that he presented convenient and sympathetic loyalties to western media/state forces and was rather more plain with his fellow Arabs, who I imagine he would have had plenty to argue about with given who he was.

  2453. Basically western women tend to repel men, especially the conservative types. The sex tourists are largely repelled because they want to get it on and most women are only willing to do that with men higher up the social hierarchy. The men going abroad to marry usually just want to marry in the first place and not be a sex toy for a narcissist, ironically there are so many western women of a similar mindset but there is not means to safely meet in modern society so when they engage they get flooded with the sex tourist types and think that is the prevailing culture (which it is but not totally). If you ever go into women spaces you'll bump into a lot of the same things men are saying but both tend to seclude themselves. The men often want to leave and the women are often pulled into the feminist demeaning of themselves in the vain hope that a man will appreciate them through sex, it's tragic really. I can only really recommend churches or out of the way internet communities at the moment, but a counter-movement is picking up.

  2465. If you read into a lot of civil wars you will know the answer is basically no. And that conjectures to the opposite are largely exercises in selfcomfort. The sort of disembodied popular anger we are looking at is a source of revolts, not revolutions, and given the psychological conception as to the acceptable gambit of behaviour even said revolts shall be rather tepid and likely not lead to any process of escalation unless they receive leadership in place of commentary from our sphere, but the consequences of such a decision would be real, and thus too high a price for most.

His theories about urban decline mostly apply to failed or failing states, but lawlessness is quite distinct from civil war, few crime groups have any interest in waging one. Recent scholarship on civil wars has been very clear that even in the best of circumstances (which are exceedingly rare, and nothing like what we have) to have a revolution there must be an elite, a funding structure and constituency to draw from.

It's much better to think of them like the unmarriable men in polygamous societies especially as that underlines the fact that they are a very dangerous group who will literally support anything which overturns the current order, seriously some of China's most major civil wars had this group as a vanguard (or more cannon fodder really, its apparent even as they are now that they don't value their lives at all).

  2482. Ok, it's bronze, which is both why it lasted (bronze lasts fantastically well compared to steel and iron) and why it is far from the best sword ever made. Spring steel allows for swords to bend in the cut and good back to true, this means they won't be given to bending as much as bronze and traditional Japanese blades (which are good to be sure, but very very far from the best, with Europe, China and the Chinese state of Chu all having very advanced steel and sword making methods which led to very high quality spring tempered swords). The comment of sharpness is hyperbole, bronze swords have the edges hammered to harden them and the Chinese used other methods like composite bronze (so putting very hard but brittle edges separately onto a soft spine), this leads to excellent sharpness, in the range of the best steel swords. However sharpness is also about edge profile and because even hammered bronze is comparatively soft it has a relatively wide taper down to the edge (like an axe its more shaped like a wedge than a scalpel), this means that a scalpel is going to be sharper because of its innate design no matter how much you sharpen the bronze sword. It's unfortunate that these sorts of myths get perpetuated within academic circles so often, the romance of it might be nice but it is the job of the academic to distinguish accolades from exaggeration.
    1
  2483.  @WorldofAntiquity  Yeah, as said it's sharp, bronze swords tend to have very good sharpness. But any properly sharpened sword that isn't horribly designed can do that. There is a lot more that goes into a good sword. This one was clearly top end for the time but the Chinese would very shortly be making better. Go onto LK Chens website, he's a Chinese sword maker, there are photos there of some mad collector bending a 2000 year old antique Chinese sword to show that it was spring tempered steel. That is extremely advanced for the time and makes for excellent swords because it makes them durable. Bronze swords and Katanas both have marked limitations due to what they are made out of, bronze in one case and iron sand in the other. Bronze might well be better as it can be bent back while katanas are not fun to repair, but bronze is something reliant on an international trade network. The Chinese were making spring steel from about 300BC and the Europeans from the early middle ages. India also had a reputation for it. The Japanese had resource limitations that informed their craftsmanship, it was impressive from what they had but not really compared universally, though the Chinese would adopt designs and manufacturing from them and via versa. Bronze stopped being used for a reason, Iron was cheap and could be processed and manufactured into superior products.

She would be doomed no matter what society she was in, she has multiple layers of serious problems, the thing that would have helped is if the childhood abuse didn't happen but I would be surprised if her parents also had problems as a good few of these things are partly genetic as well as the old cycle of abuse. Attempting to facilitate a small minority of society is likely to come at the cost of the society as a whole, one of the reasons that east Asian society is so ordered and harmonious is that they were historically incredibly harsh, with outliers not procreating or straight up being murdered over some perceived slight (not uncommon during the edo) or historically circumstance (known in China at least as Mongols).

  2486. The Victorian period had very little prostitution, they just worried about it more. The Christian revival happened at the beginning of the Victorian period, before that there was more of it. It like the Japanese media worry about crime despite have a miniscule amount compared to us, while our media doesn't mention much of it at all, apart for shock stories. The thing is that both the Victorians and Japanese care. Our elite support degeneracy, but they are also ashamed by it so keep it hidden outside of media scrutiny. The medieval period was a long time, mostly they were insanely concerned about sexual immorality, but in the way of people being married and not related, beyond that they had different cultural standards about a lot of stuff, but they were still extremely Christian about all of it. In earlier and later parts of it mistresses were common among the elite, but also Germany and England were far more uptight than France and Italy, but generally the period cultural around it related to court life and what was fine there. In some places cities or towns had a particular culture, Dijon was not somewhere young women would ever want to visit, the nobility there were savages. It is more than a generalisation, in many core aspects it is wrong.

I'm guessing Wrangle Island is named after the Russian Admiral and explorer Wrangle who was a close relative of the famous General Baron von Wrangle (the "Black Baron"), the White army leader during the civil war, and one of their best commanders. Who evacuated 100'000 White Russians out of Crimea and kept them as a cohesive organised force after exile, eventually founding the All Russian Military Union. The family were originally Baltic Germans in Swedish service, and would end up being very notable in service to Prussia, Russia and Sweden. The Russian branch has a ruined manor that someone uploaded videos of a few months back.

This chap is an apologist, I know a number of families of survivors of this time, they were regular Germans, most were killed in the most horrific manner, especially the women and children, because the Soviets did what they were known for to one and the other were vulnerable to hunger and disease. The Cossacks didn't even make it that far, a literal handful survived, and only because of clerical errors. Most weren't even sent back to Russia. The USSR was a communist state, continuity might be important to the current Russian government but it is fictitious, the Soviets were an active repudiation of Russia, and they did their level best to desecrate it.

  2501. It was not necessarily pure genetic background but identity. During the civil war Latvian, Estonian and Polish units were vital to early red consolidation, a big part of this was a total lack of sympathy towards Russian civilians, who they were sent in to massacre, steal from and usually would inflict many other atrocities on them for their own emjoyment. Later on when the soviets invaded their countries they were sent as part of the whole internationalist concept to prove that they were all brothers etc. Once the red army started doing red army stuff to their own people they deserted and these units were mostly left with those who identified as Russian but were the descendants of immigrant families, and Russians who had joined the units based on their reputation. Many of the remaining men actual nationals then went into the secret police or were already part of it and thus didn't have the opportunity or cause to desert, these men continued to treat Russians as non-human, but the old units mostly lost elite status due to loss of national character and political reliability. Basically yeah, national loyalties played a big part, ironically it was less of a thing among whites as the old aristocratic officer class had a feudalistic conception of loyalty and very often had considerable Russian monarchist sympathies irrespective of ethic background. Though of course the whites were a political mess all of their own, and many of the old tsarist officers in the new national states were dutifully loyal to their government in spite of considerable private political disagreement and a very old world conception of oaths and the meaning of states (which were usually seen in a very medieval Christian way, with the monarch figuratively reflecting the divine order set by God, as a father of the realm and the protector of the faithful).

Also I'm in my 20's, this is not the list of a 90 year old, I wish to acquire a good deal more interesting things by then.

  2506. For colonial authorities listening this is a lesson, offer opportunities for prestige and rank among the elites of the people you rule over, either through integrating them as the British authorities were stupid enough to promise with ideals like equality, create a specific system of advancement and privilege as the Russians use to formalize and control Islamic imams, or in the case of the tribal chiefs in Rhodesia. Or else you wipe out the elites, in which case you must either wipe the people or have the ability to replace the complicated patronage networks and social dependencies, or else chaos beckons.

  2507. Yeah, but Cromwell was a treasonous bastard who murdered the King and acted like the tyrannical dictator he was throughout the rest of the isles as well and on the face of it his invasion was due to the Irish remaining loyal to the English Crown during the civil war. Though as was a religious zealot of a heretical cult the fact that the loyal Irish were for the most part Catholics probably contributed to him being even more of a mass murdering rectal dysfunction, that and it being a pain to hunt down innocent civilians in the geography of Wales and Scotland and politically disadvantageous in England.

As for the rest, well courts are a pain and justice a farce, what goes around comes around, I tend to support the Russian approach morally even if they tend to make these guys look like SAS with actually carrying out hostage rescues. The Dutch government attitude is about average for democracies, these sorts of things are mainly a PR difficulty for them and believe me this wasn't even their most major cover up of the year. Responsibility is not a concept within a system with limited choice (party a, party b) and a selection against personal virtue in leadership.

  2513. The free market can only exist in the context of a rigourous, stable and just legal system, their must be the enforcement of very simple principles are else people with very quickly devolve into the tribal organisations which preceded states. Private security would quickly be able to become mafia like organisations or ruling cliches the moment a slight advantage or monopoly is obtained. The confidence of an-caps in the free market is very similar to the liberal confidence in liberty, the expression of it is far more broad than the give credit and will very quickly lead to results they did not imagine and do not like, by suppressing this however they will only prelong the suffering under a system poorly conceived. I recommend reading into the frontier of British India, things are not as simple as government bad this or that good, it depends greatly on all sorts of factors, one government is not another and the same with the people, the devil lays in details and you only need look at the history of attempts to fabricate a Cossack identity by the tsarist state in Russia to see that intangibles might make the same system lead to very different results due to different nurturing circumstances. What we need is far more complex than structural change, we need to examine every component of our civilisation and ascertain it's defect.

  2514. The mistake people are making here is assuming people are naturally good, it's an assumption with a deep history with liberalism in the West along side universalism (the idea that everyone is the same), both are misguided and born out of thinking what's true in highly homogeneous societies with extremely strict punishments and centuries of social engineering is true everywhere. Culture, cultural attitudes and laws are a much bigger factor than poverty in crime and always have been. There are examples of this throughout time and in every society. The reason western European civilisation lead to low crime rates is that crime was morally condemned and criminals were killed or harshly punished for millennia, same in China, Japan etc. Middle easteners have problems with things which aren't crimes in their own cultures and Americans have the issue that the social and legal aspects are very weak.

  2523. Modern soldiers aren't allowed to attack the people throwing the rocks due to human rights and must endure it. In the past an armoured knight could quite happily ride over to them and hack them to pieces, even if they were likewise not meant to kill no one was going to grudge the right of a group of soldiers to beat the people who threw stones at them to bloody pulp, or to deliver a sound thrashing in the case of children. Longbows were scary because your breastplate was unlikely to be proofed like in later times and even if it did stand up to the task a single lucky shot could kill and would if the circumstances were against you, of course all threats were dangerous but longbows would have been especially frustrating as you had to endure them to be able to close in and make the contest a matter in which your own skill played a role, it was for similar reasons that crossbows were despised but they at least would give you some reprieve to act, stall for a minute to think and the longbowman would try and get you under the helmet and the weight of the thing most likely did not make you much more thankful for the ones which bounced off, also good luck getting to them with a horse when it is most likely not as well armoured as yourself, crossbows at least were weak to cavalry, a longbow might be under the right circumstances but if you misjudged then you now have one of the most expensive things you own dying on top of you or throwing you through the air.

He was likely a lone actor as Iran explicitly forbids mass causality events in the west despite many other these types of attacks having been pioneered by forces connected to them, this is why it's usually the Sunnis over here despite all the stuff Shia do in the middle east itself.

Allow parents to make the choice and allow the future to decide what is right, if you don't everyone will be taught the same and so will be mislead the same when sent down the wrong path. We see in the current education system a lack of accountability for the results of what is taught and no method of feedback, it is better to allow people many options so that we don't as a society put all our eggs in one basket.

  2538. It's not an attitude it's economics 101. The idea that better off people merely steal wealth has been one of the most pervasive ideas that have caused social tensions historically, notably China saw stagnation due to that attitude around it's merchants and craftsmen meaning that despite all the ingredients for the industrial revolution they would never be able to capitalise on them, likewise the Jews often faced persecution under similar logic as did other groups (though they never survived past the first purge) and the soviet union justified mass murder on the same terms. Certainly not everything in the economy is above board but we shouldn't exchange our problems for worse ones.

The moral philosophy of the time was by no means nascent so certainly with columbus as well as with many specific actions of the conquistadores (particularly post conquest) claiming that they were justified by the standards of the time is an overcorrection.

  2541.  @jackcushman5355  The man was under direct orders to convert not molest natives he ran into, sure the people who dobbed him in were his enemies but accounts from his own troops make it plenty clear that they had a good deal to work with. The main critics of every contemporary figure are their rivals, in wasn’t until much later however that overly positive assessments of him formed, at the time praise was largely around his achievements while his actions were either ignored or criticised. We should also not totally dismiss too many sources just because the man was skilled at making enemies. History is as real as today, people should be judged by the philosophical foundations and prevailing moral view of the day but far to often the assumption that those were primitive is used to promote apathy towards evil. From an unbiased perspective the society that the conquistadores established was far more humane than the proceeding one, it was also deeply flawed, and violence was used to achieve it, but so what we shouldn’t uphold barbarism out of some twisted sense of being above things. The Iraqis forces committed plenty of crimes in the war against isis, that doesn’t mean I’m going to wax lyrically about the destruction of isis, it is entirely valid to hold moral stances while being unbiased and objective as to not do so is a bias all of its own. It is merely important not to allow ones personal bias to colour moral assessments.

  2542. The Russian civil war was complicated, many of the committed communists were kept away from the frontlines in a policing \committing atrocities against the rural population role. Thus peasant conscripts made up the vast majority of both red and white armies, these troops were extremely unreliable and would often surrender or desert the moment things turned against them, their officers and communist colleagues would be shot before they were then inducted into the army they just surrendered to. The communists had an internationalist component, usually recruited from the large population of Imperial subjects who had settled outside of national borders but within the empire, they also recruited prisoners from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, of whom the Hungarians fought well but were repatriated to support the communist revolution in their country, and the Austrians were professional but reluctant soldiers. For imperial subject nationalities they tended to fight well against Russians but would desert once they were used in the invasion of their own lands and expected to commit atrocities against their own people that they thought nothing of inflicting on others. These units then continued mostly in the form of Russiofied men of that ethnic background due to having had their family be a polish, or fin or whatever family that had been living in Russia for generations and had no loyalty to the homeland, but also volunteer Russians of no ethnic commonality who had joined the unit for it's prestige. In places like Finland there were large populations of Russians who lived there, these were not sympathetic to national independence but as they were outside the control of the reds most were white politically, and some tried to form white military organisations within the national borders and to the considerable worry of the independence movements, these units were happy to fight the reds and usually made the agreement to leave national territory and go back to Russia to fight them, they were occasionally transported around Europe so that they could reinforce white territories already in existence. The leadership caste of the reds and their vital organs were almost entirely non-russian, but the old tsarist officer class were brought back (and given the title "military specialists ") these men had their families hostage and were usually very much of a Russian nationalist persuasion in their view of the independence movements. After the civil war they and their families were largely murdered. In addition to the tsarist officers of the red professional military (professional being very relative) the soviets had the democratic military groups that they had argued for before taking power, these troops were politically connected to their own commanders and militarily near worthless, often serving as little more than a source of equipment and supplies for embryonic white forces. They were usually forcibly integrated into the red army, some revolted and became partisans. The old tsarist military were a very mixed bag, they were politically quite leftist by the end but most of the soldiers just went home rather than actively get involved in politics, some units killed their officers, many didn't and some even went home lead by them. The later Soviet histories would lie pretty extensively about most things in the war. In the Baltic the sailors of the imperial fleet formed a core of red military expertise, but the whites also had substantial numbers of former naval personal. White officers, often politically very monarchist and Russian nationalist ones formed a core of some of the national governments militaries, this was especially the case in Ukraine. The reds would conscript heavily in Cossacks regions in order to geographically relocate men very likely to revolt, many if not most of these men deserted at first opportunity, and would either be detained and sent back to white territories by national governments or in some cases would join their military efforts. The reds had "red cossacks" but the vast majority of them weren't cossack in background but just cavalry who occasionally dressed like them according to the tastes of their commander. Once the reds were fully up and running they would recruit traitors to help with taking over other countries, many of these men were a mixture of Russians who had lived there and could speak the language (hopefully) and people of the same actual background as the party leadership. It is hard to ascertain exact loyalties of many officers in national governments, even those of national background, as they largely politically came to terms with the loss of the civil war by white forces, many were aristocratic and had a feudal conception of loyalties, there have been claims that till the end of his life Mannerheim was a Russian Monarchist, with deep sympathies to the house of Romanov, however true this was likely actually true for many tsarist officers from the former imperial territories, with the exception of Poland, who had a strongly nationalistic nobility. The Finnish white army was a mixture of German trained nationalists, old tsarist troops and volunteer or conscript soldiers. The Red Army was a mix of Finnish leftists, conscripts, and a ragtag of Russian reds sent in support or already in Finland. The lack of centralised or good leadership among the whites was their downfall, they were in constant internal struggle, and most of their leaders were either not men of vision or men unequal to the task of mercilessly suppressing corruption, cowardice and incompetence on their own side. They acted in a way that allowed them to be defeated in detail, letting go of the strategic situation in spite of every tactical advantage, with the exception of capability for taking cities due to barbed wire by their cavalry forces. It didn't much help that they had the incompetents who had caused the revolution in the form of provisional government men among them, and the British especially were constantly diplomatically undermining them (basically the only time Churchill was right in his entire political career was at this time, as he pointed out that giving the soviets a peace was storing up future wars, and proactively supported decisive military intervention to destroy communism).

  2545. Several things, democracy is a political system that tends very strongly to stop wars from being moderated, it is unlikely that there will be several war simply because democracies tend to fight total wars even though they are totally toothless during peace deal and have such a bad system of command (e.g. Politicians being allowed anywhere near military strategy) that they are fortunate that all of their enemies to date have been massively incompetent, if modern states ever had to deal with a Napoleon they would be crushed. Xi is clearly incompetent but I have to wonder when he will have an accident due to covid, in the Chinese system face is paramount this is why the old imperial system was constructed so that advisers would be responsible for mistakes and pay for them, this is one of the biggest class with the communist system in China, he could just kill lots of people to distract everyone like Mao but I doubt how long that would work for. China has no incentive to start a war before the US collapses into civil war, waiting is very valuable, they can bring Russia into their sphere as it weakens and use it as the main food source after building up the necessary infrastructure, Indian can have its rivers cut off with dams, South Korea can continue to be host to political chaos and North Korea can become slightly richer and less of a liability. America is in a Thucydides trap and war would be very favourable to them, what was likely happening last year was that the Chinese predicted that if Afghanistan and Ukraine were massive American failures than they could likely go with the momentum and conquer Taiwan, this would then shake the American economy to its roots and they could leverage America's industrial reliance, Taiwan's microchip production and the fact they have many American politicians and notably the president in their pocket. If that have gone off without a hitch then many elites likely would have jumped ship and the Chinese regime would establish enough prestige among the nationalists to last a bit longer. What I think is likely is that China will have some sort of internal rift and move towards Confucianism and an imperial system but I don't think that it is nearly as imminent as civil war in the west, especially not with China actively supporting political instability. It is likely that things will start moving after the American economic house of cards collapses, if I were China I'd be careful as America can keep itself going though wars (because they can retain legitimacy even after demolishing the current economic order before it collapses under its own weight) and cannibalizing allies (which it will do if there is a war). Peace favours them in the long term.

  2546. We still need a party apparatus, candidates in each seat and a campaign though. I would say that the first step to a party apparatus would be to set up real local communities of our type who can meet within sympathetic Church's (a building common to every part of the country, and less likely to be a hostile environment). These groups can then form the core of campaigning, and can select candidates to run, we then try and take over councils and the government with the aim of revolutionary transformation of this country. We need some base layer of organisation in order to do very much at all. Possibly we can also start dabbling in other things, like housing for members, courtship and the promotion of large families. Unfortunately we don't have much funding, are disunified and have far too many contrarians who don't want anything to happen as they are just around for the fight. The faster things are set up the less time our enemies have to cement their destruction of our nation and civilisation.

  2550. Commonwealth troops were valued and usually lead by their own officers and with regard to the political sensibilities of their states, Canadian troops were considered elite and thus often relied upon in a way that only elite units were, as it ended up they weren't as good as they were in the first world war but they were still excellent, Australians were hard fighters but an absolute pain behind the lines, with constant indiscipline, rowdyness, drunkenness and very often criminal behaviour against civilians, as a result it was seen as to everyone's benefit to keep them as close to action as possible and not give them enough relaxation time to do anymore than recover, this was the case in both world wars but the Australians earned a much worse reputation in the second due to the treatment of civilian women in occupied Japan (it should be noted that the Americans were guilty of the same and a good deal of the personal accounts come from horrified Australian officers). Churchill was a pretty appalling leader and a very incompetent one, who was incredibly gung-ho, thought he had military expertise above his generals and believed casualty figures to be an indication of how well fought an action was. Basic every plan he put his hands on was turned into a mess so it wouldn't at all be surprising if this was another example. He was a brilliant self-promoter, a likely narcissist and lies came easily to him so he made a fairly decent stab at distorting his biography, I think the man is summed up the experience my family had with him, which was they thought he was the bees knees and hero worshipped him but didn't like they he lied about everything they personally knew (in this case having been the brick layer on some walls he said he built, in actual fact they knew the guy he hired to actually make the things!), unsurprisingly historians have become more and more cynical about the man with every generation.

  2559. Women were punished for adultery in the Islamic world, they never were in the Christian. Rapists were typically killed, though being forced to marry the victim was one punishment in some places if the man was unmarried and of a considerably higher social status. Even in Russian history it was a crime with heavy fines and likely a long sentence of hard labour. There is a lot of historical research into this subject as we have huge amounts of court records from the period. Djion in France was the only place that had a major issue with a long term culture of sexual violence. Today the causes are a very weak legal system thanks largely to the ideological influence of liberal and the electoral influence of women (it is very much men who support the punishments shown in this video) and the sexual revolution massively devaluing women and facilitating sexual abusers. The British police are notorious for Rotherham more so than anything, they are politically compromised and actively recruit people with a criminal record, the reason things are bad is that the madmen have been put in charge of the asylum. We need a reinstitution of patriarchal mercilessness towards predators, the male archetype of the father or protector is what guards you from the archetype of the rapist, as the fact remains that evil exists and will win if not fought.

  2560. That doesn't mean total opposition to democracy, they tend to be highly involved in local democracy movements, but they do believe in a divinely ordained monarch forging together a realm of disparate and largely autonomous communities, there is a reason there is a lot of libertarian crossover. Also given the current political circumstances it is one of the few theoretical possible salvations, I just don't believe that King Charles fundamentally has the personal character to secure the support of the military, disband parliament, purge corrupt institutions, rejuvenate the church and rule through personal strength. But unlike a lot of other right wing pipe dreams the ingredients for it happening do actually exist even if them ever being mixed together is highly implausible to put it lightly.

Which deeply shaped the views of practically every political camp, including leading to considerable hostility from German Jews towards their Eastern brethren. His view of the problem at hand could have been said even by them, though his solutions would have to be reworded to conform either with the Zionist (which only needs very slight rewording to approximate their views, and indeed radical portions were practically friendly towards his movement given the use it could be put to by theirs) or Nationalist (as in that they were German first and proud of it, nationalism being widespread in intellectual circles in which many were deeply entrenched, many such men were war veterans ironically given later events) perspective that split their own views.

His reaction to proof of his prejudices being wrong was to count them as an exception to the rule and ignore it. The office politics within the party was ruthless however so ironically he was a lot less powerful than he liked to portray himself, often having to placate subordinates to retain his grip on power.

  2587. Those 21 soldiers were Sikhs many decades later and they didn't win, they died buying time for reinforcements. The sepoys of the Bengal presidency during the Sikh wars were not well regarded, British officers who wrote accounts and diaries at the time considered the irregular cavalry and the artillery to be of good quality, they were however highly critical of the morale and fighting spirit of the sepoy (they usually put this down to a lack of British officers, but more likely it had similar roots to the mutiny itself). The sepoys were on the Afghan border after annexing the Punjab, some territories were also populated by Afghans (and still are in those regions of Pakistan). The Sikhs frankly could have just reclaimed independence if they hadn't had deeper grievances, the reason they wanted vengeance on the sepoys was because they had been treated as subjugated people by troops who had generally not performed well in any straightforward engagements with them, thus they felt it a humiliation worthy of a debt in blood. The Afghans generally didn't take Hindus prisoner and mutilated their corpses, it wouldn't be until later that the border with Afghanistan could be solidified without concessions to their king. There were decades of low level conflict in the region and the British strengthened over time, early campaigns were some of the most difficult in British Imperial history, many figures in the Indian mutiny had met with misfortune in Afghanistan, John Nicholson was imprisoned, had his troops murdered in front of him and had his brother killed and mutilated. The fact is that the sepoy armies during the mutiny were regularly defeated be forces inferior in number, the history backs up the fact that they were subpar units. Of course later British-Indian army units were not the same, and indeed they performed both better and worse depending on the period and circumstances.

  2593.  @lepepelepub12  I wasn’t saying they’d lose, considering Russia’s policy on nukes and Japans lack of a deterrence the war likely wouldn’t start in the first place. I was responding to the idea that fight like the Japanese of WW2 did, even if the cultural context was not fundamentally different the capability would be inhibited by the fact that a large portion of the population would be unfit to fight. Ultimately the context is different however, in 1945 the Japanese had been at war for 14 years and had been steeped in Emperor deification, state shinto and militarism for 70 years. The school system drilled into them that death was better than dishonour and life lighter than a cherry blossom, adults in their live including their parents would also affirm it. There was military style training from a young age and even the school uniforms were based on military uniforms (Prussian for boys, sailor for girls), on top of this the population was young, vigorous and confident, the birth rate was high so each generation grew and the elderly were cared for within the traditional family unit (though care for might be a western way to put it as they were often the ones at the top of the family hierarchy and at the very least were accorded considerable respect). The two societies were in some ways mirror images of one another. I know I might have made it sound a bit romantic but the cost of the old system was in human life and it had negative aspects like being terminally stupid in it’s fanaticism, dealing with people on intentions too much (it doesn’t matter if someone professes loyalty to the state, if they don’t follow orders then they are impediment to its aims and should be punished) and having a culture of political assassination.  An actual war between japan and Russia might be worthwhile so long as Japan gets nukes first so it can call Russias bluff, the northern territories are mostly of strategic worth but Sakhalin has oil reserves which would make it worth the price in blood considering how resource poor japan is. The fact that many of the professional troops are off getting killed and the Japanese have local naval superiority so it be a probable bet. Japan would do less well if it wanted to take more than islands and China would probably be the main threat throughout. A limited war followed by consolidation would be the only plan feasible from the start however. Though it would do little to deal with the much greater existential threats to the nation.

  2594. There were a lot of ideological and regional splits. Lowlanders and highlanders didn't get on, nor did various clans. The wigs were basically parliamentary supremacists, they would develop liberalism as a justifying political ideology. The jacobites were Christian monarchists, in earlier times the split was very much religious with non-conformists and Calvinists being wig and Anglicans and Catholics being monarchist but this shifted as the new dynasties usurped the main Stuart branch, King James the second had stupidly alienated many Anglicans and thus in the later conflict there were often monarchist loyalists of the new dynasties supporting the government and many Calvinists were active jacobites despite the theological tensions, really up until the 20th century the power of parliament had limited popular support and most of the population were Christian in ideology and sympathetic to traditional authorities like the nobility and King. The predominance of such people in the military and among the common population was one of the reason for parliament trying to limit their political influence and propagandise heavily, creating things like wig history. The American revolution was ironic in many senses given that it created a more extreme version of what the British government they gained independence from was ideologically sympathetic to, unsurprisingly many jacobites who had been exiled to America died fighting for the loyalists, likewise despite the reputation many historical pirates were also ideologically jacobite, traditionalist and monarchist, it should be noted that the vast majority of the population were the second two at the very least.

However a lot of people do put up more robust fencing to stay on the safe side as no one peculiarly wants them to kick a dogwalker, get hit by a car or become panicked and hurt themselves.

The media and even academics regularly fail to note some of the most important internal events in the country and have a tendency towards a surface level understanding which conforms the assumptions of their claims.  Japanese politicians certainly have a history of refusing apologism but when it comes to denialism it depends on the politician, in the context that those that are are usually not very respected ones and that the main party are not far right as the western press often claim and anyone professing such beliefs as a member of the party would likely be an embarrassment due to the domestic media coverage alone.

  2610. Recent research has concluded that not only was the sock knife not once an underarm knife but that it is anachronistic, made up because it looks neat later. Historically Scots carried bollack daggers and those would evolve into the Dirk, possibly via Irish influence (the Irish liking long bladed daggers which they used like shortswords), before that they probably used much the same as the rest of the British isles, Seaxs (which were the fashion for something silly like 800 years, only ending well into the medieval period) followed by medieval fashions, including and leading in to the common use of the bollack and then it's development, probably centering on the border region rather than the highlands.

Yes, but in most of them the birth rate is also declining, the number of countries with high birth rates now is much lower than twenty years ago even if they have basically all been poor countries for much longer. The exceptions are central asia, that is more low wealth than poor, and certainly richer than many of the poor countries with low birth rates, and Israel, which is a first world country. People have studied these countries to gain policy ideas but it seems like the big things are social and cultural, and thus it is hard to replicate.

  2613. This is already happening in western countries, it is just able to operate with less of a face to it. A lot of human trafficking from eastern Europe is done using these tactics, also the grooming gangs across Europe use many of them, in addition to drugs and violence. Police corruption, pathetic laws and a toxic political culture towards responsibility, as well as problems with media reporting, mean that many of these problems are not addressed and indeed are facilitated.

The Royals know that they exist at the grace of an utterly cynical press and political system and should they ever make themselves easier to attack than obsess over by say having standards or restrictions which are any stronger than an informal understanding then the fact the public overwhelmingly supports them will not save them and increasingly as the tendrils spread not even the army will. They have chosen to play ball even if in practice it amounts to death by a thousand cuts.

  2616. It's a religion, not that there's really a tangible difference. Also western liberal democracy will not be capable of defeating it as it is itself a parasite system which collapses in on itself without exploiting the fruits of systems with surplus production, most notably in people. The alternatives to Islam are other religious political forces like Christianity and Confucianism, these both often hard resistance and are capable of sustaining themselves on a civilisational level. Of course whether such forces, which have been thoroughly subverted by liberalism (egalitarian capitalist (corporate socialist) democracy (elective managerial oligarchy) with Christianity, socialism (state capitalism) with Chinese characteristics (communist aesthetics) with Confucianism) will do so is another matter.

  2619. Should the American republican experiment end there is no doubt that he shall be pardoned, but as things stand the logic of the republic is not one that can consider the likely motivations involved. An oath made in contravention of God's will and of obligations to higher powers (e.g. Kings) is not valid, nor is there much ground for traitors to talk of treason. However such logic while Christian is not acceptable to a Liberal state, in which loyalties are held towards one's individual as well as the popular will, even if America stops being a barely veiled oligarchy such ideas are likely to remain as liberalism is much more than just a political system, but should it transition over to Empire it is almost certain that interest will be taken in traditional conceptions of legitimacy and the history books will change to reflect this. Indeed some have already been written, the true history of the American revolution has been recommended to me quite a lot as supposedly it goes into the cultural and religious delusions which motivated early American leaders to totally misunderstand the political regime in England and the intentions contained therein.

We should not have sympathy for existential threats to our existence.

  2630. The sword of the highlanders and the Russian military are not the same even if they look it, the Russian Shashkas are military weapons which are near double the weight of the light swords the highlanders favoured, this means they are less agile but more robust and generally cut better. The Cossacks and higherlanders both specialised in small war and light troop actions. The original shashka was almost certainly a self defence weapon in addition to the dagger, being specialised towards a quick draw. While hit and run was preferable for light cavalry the cossacks still used them in prolonged engagements, especially on foot, and I'm sure the higherlanders did if they had too as well.

The old leadership were stupid, a bit like the current leadership of the west (which like is the west is because liberalism is a universalising religion, egalitarianism is baked into the moral system, as it a pathology in terms of the idea of the individual). Unlike them however they were reacting to immense international cohesion. Of course like with Israel; maintaining a hostile population was never going to work out, and unlike them they never had the stomach nor vision to admit that.

  2642. DXP made the mistake of being a communist though the fact that he could acknowledge his mistakes made him better than almost 100% of intellectuals. Bismarck knew what he was about, his only mistake was capitulating to the aesthetics of liberal ideology, there is generally no option of compromise with socialists and liberals beyond crushing them, if given power they shall take more until they have reneged on long established freedoms and enserfed the people to a mass bureaucracy and a giant ponzi scheme of a social welfare program. In practice social democracies are the most tyrannical forms of government short of revolutionary 'democracies' as they acknowledge no limits on power and select statesmen on narcissism and power hungryness, on top of this the short terms means that politicians are doing nothing more than carving their own piece of the pie from the nation and then likely giving it into the safeguarding of a corrupt corporation they will be jumping ship to at the end of their tenure.

Land invasions would probably be not very successful. But the Americans might just start indiscriminate murder of civilians and make it legal after the fact. They are basically Satanist at this point. The big zones would probably being an invasion of Iran (in which they would learn that missiles are a pain for naval fleets, and invading through mountains is not the best strategy), and Russia, were they would win by attrition but learn than mines do the job they are meant to. The bigger issues for them would be overwhelming hatred for the regime by their own populations, and a lack of willingness to die for the cause of evil by the younger/non-tv addicted population. extreme political instability is likely.

  2645. As this video made very clear it was the logistics that were the important part, they had a choice of chasing the Germans tails and then puttering out due to supply issues or using the opportunity available to compound strengths and overrun the most strategic areas of the enemy, sacrificing how impressive things look on a map for putting the enemy is a very nasty situation and likely forcing them to retreat anyway, they then already would have been in Germany and German priorities would likely have been forced into attacks on prepared positions in the vain hope of regaining vital industrial areas, the supply situation would have also meant that suddenly Americans who held back would become a very dangerous proposition which they couldn't neglect, not only could the war have ended earlier and many lives been saved but the iron curtain would likely have ended up a good deal further east, if things went particularly well then several post-war crimes against humanity might not have occurred in the first place on top of all the people saved from the Germans by an earlier end to the war.

  2658. On B's comments, Luther and Calvin were heretics, Luther was a pawn of the German Princes in their struggle for autonomy within the Holy Roman Empire, he was also behind the belief that all must come from the Bible, ironically just contemporarising the context of interpretation and making it so that the arguments over basics would literally never end, on top of this he tried to edit the Bible to suit his own theological interpretation and married a Nun, breaking two oaths of chastity in one, if you know much of medieval European culture and society you will know that oathbreaking was in a way almost as bad as outright apostasy and practically guarantees a place in hell without considerable extenuating circumstances. Calvinism other than being rootless and contemporary is the theological origin of progressivism and liberalism, they have an odious history due to their role is justifying the political destruction of Europe under the belief that the only valid King is Christ (that is not what the title King of Kings means at all if you know the history of the title) and they themselves should hold the secular power. Also both Luther and Calvin were not fans of natural sciences, philosophy or pre-Christian culture and if they had had their way those would have been extinguished. The guest was wrong about Trinitarian mass being ancient, it is itself a reformation creation, a standardisation specifically. Before the reformation there was considerable liturgical variety, in England the Sarum rite was predominant, which was an English expression of the Latin rite dating into Anglo-Saxon times. The common man did not speak Latin, but he did have considerable theological understanding and interest, as theology was of primary interest to the common man rather than politics, Bible sermons were not in Latin, they would hear what church fathers and important theologians thought of passages, often the messages were directly relevant and they were usually far more in-depth than what we get now. Bibles in vulgar languages did exist and most people were literate in their own language, but street preachers and defrocked priests were more common than public access libraries and tended to cause trouble. Medieval people weren't stupid, they were highly legalistic and cultured, the tenants of Christianity were deeply rooted in everyday life. Something that would not be the case after the reformation, theological understanding and interest greatly declined, many Churches were in a state of disrepair for a century or more, people supported the Church financially due to legal obligation but most energy was in the radical reformed movements that periodically swept public interest rather than the Anglican Church which mostly just continued on with state backing (and suspicion due to monarchist leanings and Catholic holdovers, which a largely non-conformist political elite did not like at all).

It's a shame that Dan and Harry are the only ones based ones left. Josh is alright but he can't string a sentence together and Dade has the right emotions but is deep into whiggism. The Greek is tiring, liberalism is dead, it's time to stop beating it and move into a mode of creation. It feels like Carl is treading water, Burkeanism was made by a Whig, it has no answers, you need values, not stasis.

  2663. Nah not really, you are underestimating how unoriginal people are, so long as it serves people's purposes then the lower sort will carry on a long lineage of such ideas, unsurprisingly they have long be associated with scammers and lunatics who love the mystic power that can be implied by supposed forbidden knowledge. We know it was passed on throughout the Christian era by the fact the church was constantly persecuting them and their heresies popped up like a game of wack-a-mole, during the enlightenment such ideas became popular with the degenerates (liberals as they call themselves) as it appealed to the ego of idiots to think you knew better than everyone else, the general many of these ideas (including total freedom from the bounds of reality) were synthesized by Rousseau and that became its modern religious form, before that it was mostly a set of eccentric beliefs that got bundled into any nonsense religious movement started by street preachers, madmen or aspiring cult leaders, it is the Rousseauian branch that basically the whole of the French liberal, socialist and communist project springs out of, with him adding in a lot of materialism (the utopia will be on earth and will be one where man is totally alienated from social bonds and responsibility living in nature as an he originally was before being enslaved by the existence of society and property) and basically inverting the Christian moral system. From there it becomes very easy to see who they persisted as you can literally track the prominent members of the ideology.

I find it odd that you could read the bible and not feel a connection to your people (were you reading an evangelical study bible?), the old testament is perhaps the greatest survival of a way of life and account of a mindset that would have been deeply familiar to the people of the pontic steppe. The New Testament more to than being a part of the western canon is it's core.

  2684. The problem is how many go to university, however if you are going to be stupid and funnel everyone though the same system then having an incentive which makes bleeding students for all they are worth (especially as this is probably the last opportunity to do so before economy makes people realise that they should probably think about other options) is probably a bad idea, if you really really want to waste a lot of time and money then publicly funding it is probably the way to go (just so the universities aren't actively impoverishing people). It would however be much much better to diversify the economy and stop funnelling everyone down the same path with the expectation of them serving the economy of 40 years ago. Really the primary focus should be the continued existence of the country economic policy be damned. A country of rice farmers is better than a country of nursing homes no matter how much wealth there was during the boom.

  2685. Poland and Lithuania having been doing badly from my understanding and obviously even the Russians can tell themselves that things are better that they have been in the past (though it's the 90's the remember moreso). I live in Britain, we have very serious problems, some are to be sure that people have been spoiled and don't know how to deal with even slight hardship but there are things that are very bad, my generation will likely never own houses or take pensions and even getting by is becoming hard for the less wealthy, we have not been doing great since WW1 but things likely haven't been as bad since the reconstruction period after the end of WW2 (indeed our taxs haven't been as high as this since the war), the feeling that the nation and the culture are being killed intentional and that we will almost inevitably cease being a distinct entity probably doesn't help with the depressive mood. I think much of western Europe is feeling similarly disillusioned.

  2693. This is very interesting given recent political developments on the right, which has fairly conclusively broken off into an elitist movement which sees populism as misguided. All figures come from a certain context, it is not surprising that Lenin was influenced by this context, he probably would never have come to prominence if he had been unwilling to operate within the reality of the situation. I am a monarchist and a Christian so I have no sympathy at all with the sons of Rousseau, but it is interesting to hear how exactly liberal theory developed in this case, especially given that we live under a managerial offshoot of the same system of thought. While you talk about the repression of the Tsarist state it should be noted that it was not well organised or implemented, the right in Russia was largely a mess due to the state opposition to politics, it was patronized inconsistently and often based on the personal sympathies of administrators. The civil service of Russia and indeed the whole administrative state was miniscule, it was highly autonomous on the local level, and the only decisive force was the military, which would have it's institutional culture fundamentally changed by conscription, on top of this the state failed for an entire century to deal with liberals within the educational and legal system, and when such people were brought in to the service branches during war they proved both corrupt and politically hostile. Ironically Wrangel resolved corruption when he took power by putting notable aristocrats in such positions, because they were too proud to steal, and were brave and loyal men. Russia during this period is tragic, as it was developing at rapid pace, I have read historians who postulate that by adopting a liberal model of reform based off of a fictionalized ideal of western development expounded by the Whigs they actually undermined ancient traditions and institutions rather than evolve them and thus created the instability in the system that lead to collapse. Certainly it is likely that Russia will never recover from the soviet period as it lost a link to functioning social systems and many of the valuable groups the state could drawn on were wiped out. It's certainly interesting to think about, and relevant as things in the west are coming to mirror soviet misgovernment.

  2694.  @TRez5000  Russia’s birthrate largely kept in line with policy. It went up when Stalin banned abortions and sidelined feminism and then went down after desalinisation and and the long stagnation. It was already low when the union collapsed but hit rock bottom afterwards, has since risen marginally but comes with high abandonment and children born with hiv, in the last few years it has seen an uptick as it became government priority but not enough. The hypothesis that it proves anything is probably wrong, many Russians still have the same old mentality and support the gov because it’s the gov without changing habits, they use to be proud atheists now the go to church every so often and wear a cross, not great not terrible. On the other hand groups which have wholehearted embraced the new vision (or the old depending on your point of view) are marked out by their higher birthrates alongside their funny antics (like calling for the tsar to be brought back). Likewise the central asians have plenty of kids. It is likely that values hold deeper meaning than expressed loyalties and thus that Russia is a bit early on to be made a case study out of.

  2695. Yep religion was by far the main issue, there likely weren't many as the Barbary states sat in the middle, most blacks were in the Arab world, the men were typically castrated and the women were not treated as well as European slaves (who themselves got fairly horrific treatment, being tortured to convert). Blacks were a novelty and often found employment in royal courts who wanted to ape the ottoman. Later on there were more, mostly in Portugal, colonies and various navies due to the slave trade and contact with allied kingdoms in Africa. Some ended up in Europe but they were miniscule in number and quickly got absorbed.

  2697. Western courts would use African doormen to look impressive and worldly themselves, as well as in a trend of following ottoman court fashions. A retainer was a concept in the west, and as in Japan proximity to a Lord did not make you a Knight, it was a specific title with corresponding duties and privileges, knights were expensive, very expensive, even most men performing their role in battle did not have the title, to give it to the domestic help would be silly, especially if their role was to stand around and look impressive, Knights had land grants to manage and training to undertake. Likewise with samurai, your swordbearer was needed to carry your sword, it was a pain if he had other duties, his wage was so that he would focus on that, also as he carried the sword him knowing how to fight was of no benefit, he could assassinate you with it, even if he couldn't fight he could be used as a shield. Usually though it was a position for young noble boys, they would learn court manners and rituals and proximity to a Lord was an honour, it was a period before they went on to other duties. Lord Oda liked exotic things and this was likely an example, in his youth he was mocked for foreign and extravagant dress and into his manhood he had a preference for Learned Christians, he was known as the demon king because he did not get on with the Buddhist monastic orders and had a full on war with some of them, being merciless even with the unarmed pilgrims and faithful, regardless of sex or age. If he had lived he might well have converted, he was planning to invade China, much like Alexander the Great's father, he unified Japan and was then going to invade Korea, his successors only went as far as Korea as his heir died in the coup.

  2698. First time I've seen someone described as a succubus, considering her personality and what she looks like I don't think she'd make a very good one, like a lot of this style of vapid celebrities she mostly appeals to a female audience by giving them the false impression that she is in any way a role model for being desirable towards men (other than braindead rappers of course, but I'm pretty sure they'd shag a dead raccoon if it was well endowed and wore enough makeup), a lot of the beauty industry does seem to be a false feedback loop among women, though it it wasn't then it would likely gut the industry as beautiful women are intimidating enough for men without dressing like peacocks (and men don't want a peacock which is common property unless they happen to have some rather severe personality disorders) and giving an impression of poor character strangely tends to make them lose interest.

  2699. At this stage in the war deserters usually got such treatment, they didn't need to embellish and it is likely that until the letter finding information was hard because everyone knew that what they said would make it's way back to the family, likewise after it was out it was already out and they could confirm it.

  2702. The British were seen as having a first rate army (which they did), the thing they were mocked for by the other European powers was it's size. Also our cavalry was always of questionable quality, though as WW1 proved that didn't matter so much as long as you had it (we likely would have lost in 1917 without cavalry acting as a mobile reserve, and 1918 probably would have ended in an actual stab in the back for Germany without the cavalry exploiting the breakthrough, also that breakthrough probably wouldn't have happened if the Germans hadn't disbanded or sent East all of theirs). The British military was constantly modernising and unlike France and Russia they mostly proved able to rise to the occasion even with the utter stupidity of the politicians and their total disregard for lives (despite the stereotypes generals made the best of what they had as they would be fired and replaced if they failed to meet deadlines for attacks decided in drawingrooms by imbeciles). The problem is that bruteforcing tactical victories typically erodes strategic options as you are flagrantly wasting resources which are finite and irreplaceable (in that you are also killing their potential to produce children, having a long knock on weakening of the nation, also the best people tend to take the disproportionately highest casualties), namely human lives.

It was rich a century before the British started conquering, by the time they moved in it was into a power vacuum, and there was little resistance as heavy taxes were better than dealing with marauding armies and hordes of bandit horsemen. The British meant law and being paid on time in real money.

  2706.  @WilliamSantos-cv8rr  Fertility is not genetic it is cultural, and a refection of a social and policy context. Likewise it works on an exponential growth and decline trend. If the Japanese get the birth rate up enough they are a generation away from recovery. Diversifying the nation, especially in a democracy introduces considerable weakness to a country, Japan has not been able to integrate it's own diaspora, any foreigners would form parallel societies, its just that those groups would cause the least trouble. Immigration and multiculturalism only work in Kingdoms and Empires as the Monarchical form of government by nature allows for considerable autonomy and a political structure in which fighting between groups is not encouraged by the need for ethnic blocks to fight for interests, or America in which immigrants are re-educated into an ideological project, in much the same way as a shared religion breaks down ethnic boundaries (though not nearly as effectively as a religion like liberalism, which denies the differences in the first place).

  2708. 5% increase in violent death. God knows what we are in for in that case. Also the breakdown of globalised food networks at least is imminent and a wider breakdown probable. Personally I can't say that matters are good anyway and even with smooth sailing the current world system is doomed to collapse quite probably within our own lifetimes as it is simply to out of sorts with reality and is seeing a compounding rate of degeneration. I hate to be a prophet of doom but at one can't even really claim the title as the problems are too prominent and numerous and must be ignored with effort (though it should be said effort that our leaders and established institutions are not lacking in). Advice to people reading, stock up on food (majorly if you live in the middle east or africa, enough to last until summer as spring is often the worst time during famines), clear the chimney of your old fireplaces (if you live in the UK then commons are a good source of wood, stocking up on fuel before demand gets even worse is also a good idea) and arm yourself as appropriate to your local laws (Europe especially as if what is likely happens the refugee crisis is about to get hundreds of times worse).

  2716. This is a difference between apostolic and non-conformist Christianity. Apostolic (so Catholics Orthodox etc) believe that the Church is the continuation of Judaism and that by renouncing God the Jews of today are a separate faith from that of old, attitudes indeed hardened over time due to divergence in Jewish theology from that of Christ's own time, which was seen as proof. Non-conformists on the other hand are into doomsday prophecies prominently featuring the recreation of Israel as a physical country, various stuff about lost tribes of Israel and a concerning drive to enact the end times by fulfilling the conditions they have made up, hopefully at least. This means a very different way of looking at things.

  2739. Russia was in fact seeing immense economic growth and times had never been (and would never again be) better, the primary problem was not the truth of grievances but their dissemination, like with most revolutions reality was other than the fragility of the state wasn't terribly relevant. His father was an autocrat but an effective one, there was considerably influence from the pan-slavic nationalists and he had started a policy of russiafication, this was broadly successful within the Russian homeland and among the German elite but alienated the fins and poles, it was also very targeted at the Jewish community but this was an explicit intention as a great deal of trouble the state had to deal with came from that sector (especially the secular part of it), whether they integrated or left were both equally positive to the authorities. Tsar Nicholas did not have the force of personality of his father and was not prepared nearly enough, he was also cursed by circumstances, if he had ruled Britain he would have been remembered well, if Germany the same and if Austria the country would have fallen apart even faster. His belief that God had appointed him had the trouble of keeping him from abdicating but he also had no strong brothers to take the helm, his father was such a man but he was not. Russia was fickle creature and if corruption was squashed and dissidents exterminated then things would have run a lot better but even without that pigheadedness would have seen them through, the problem was that Nicholas was a nice and reasonable person who valued the lives of his countrymen and listened to council, if he had killed all democrats, fought Japan to the bitter end and gone forward without regard to human suffering then Russia today would be a much larger, populous and prosperous nation rather than receiving the long drawn out excruciating death the Soviets bequeathed it.

  2740.  @themossad  Do you mean the president of Hungary? My issue is that Israeli NGO's and citizens are very prominent on the other side. I would be less critical if the Israeli right would work to undermine these group and I would be supportive of Israel were it to ally with us against the common enemy, Israel over the past days has shown it's experience and skill at operating media campaigns, it would be fantastic if skills could be shared or tie ins created. What has happened of the past days has been done by the same people in Europe but the rightful anger and necessary knowlege has been suppressed by western media, we would be greatly buoyed if a similar approach was to be taken around the Rotherham scale and type incidents across Europe. Just like in the past days the media must be made to admit to the reality of evil for people to even acknowledge it. I have massive sympathies with Israel in terms of these unspeakably revolting attacks, but my idea of cooperation would be the attacks we are undergoing being likewise publicised. At the moment Jews are an essential elite patronage group of the regime like the Baltic Germans were in the Russian Empire, this means we are very likely to be called anti-sematic merely for offending the sentiments of the ruling class. Organisations like the ADL are the face of this, it would be great if Israel would condemn the villainization of those who are fighting similar battles against the same people, often in circumstances not terribly far from what we are seeing currently in Israel and in a far higher volume even if not the same proportion or organisation.

  2744. Traditional family structures and courting is a solution, men don't talk to women because they are smallminded and disgusting, I can count on my hands how many I have ever respected, and most of those were mothers. You are dealing with a generation of men brought up by their mothers, they have seen the very worst aspects of women and are not going to throw themselves at immoral, arrogant and ugly creatures screaming about men not committing when they dress, act and live in a way that not man can respect and only a very few endure for long enough to sleep with them (and such men are very much the worse among us). Why would anyone have respect for those who aren't respectable. I can sympathise with those women who look about and see only malicious advice from other women and predatory men as the only ones persistent enough to dig through a lavatory for diamonds. I very strongly dislike the whole 'men should step up' because it is always followed by 'but only on our terms', why should we, we are offered divorce, the debasement of our offspring and having to deal with people who don't even have respect for themselves, what possible reason would we have to look at how things are and just accept them. We are men, we don't accept anything but that we built or were born to, when we do something it will be on our terms and with who we choose. If women want a place they can act like it, and stop nagging while pulling in the wrong direction or impending progress. We need a social and cultural revolution, not to give into the same but with less resistance this time.

  2747. They were not near surrender, the closest possible was a conditional surrender, with the allies had agreed among themselves weren't to be accepted. Japan was to be turned into a fortress as were the mountains in the North of Korea. The Japanese had ascertained the landing locations for a naval invasion and had started building the air hangers and factories within mountains that were necessary to avoid bombing raids. The military had prepared, they were ready, the two points of failure were the nuke and the political volatility of Japan, command was thrown into serious disarray by the bomb, less because of a lost city than that political manoeuvring started because of it and everyone was trying to play a role or work out what the hell was going on. There was a failed coup, the Soviets attacked Manchuria and the planned retreat was not enacted as had been prepared, senior officers argued that there was only one nuke and even if not they could endure it. At this point in the war Japan's victory was clearly understood to be impossible and thus they were willing to surrender under the condition of the emperor retaining his position, this was however against the agreement among the allies and the public sentiment, thus only unconditional surrender would be accepted, later policies don't matter, the commitment was towards unconditional surrender and it was to be kept to. The means to force the issue were three, to invade at vast cost to both sides, to blockade indefinitely and allow much of the population to starve until presumably opposite day came and the sunk cost fallacy caused the leadership to given up rather than dig in, or to us the experimental weapon meant for the purpose. The Americans had already killed 100'000's of innocent civilians in the fire bombing campaign naturally they would pick the cheapest option. The fact is I am very sceptical of the intentions of the US (which tend towards maliciousness in my estimation) but intentional or not within the restrictions of the circumstances the choice made was the least destructive one. As said post war decisions are much more.objectionable.

Got into history and found out that the temperatures go up and down and that is an important factor in understanding contexts. I mean it won't stop these people, it has become a livelihood and its not like logic is paramount, the claims of prediction of the second coming are outright denied in the Bible but it never stopped those people and you still have groups like the American evangelicals who are trying to fulfil doomsday prophesies through foreign policy, if you actually get into theology their claims are even more exhausting than those of the eco people.

  2755. A little secret, guys find most girls naturally pretty and there are always way more guys that will think someone below average attractive than women who think the same about men in that position. Personality is also a huge factor as is the impression one gives off (one of the reasons that being funny is seen as so important to many men). Make-up of over done can make even pretty women unattractive especially if done in a particular style (felt tip eyebrows, terrible fake tan and a melted face look are the thing where I am) as that can imply connotations of lifestyles or personalities that many find unattractive. Men who don't like make-up tend to be more conservative (unless it's just nonsense meant to round out someone's individualism, like all the people with fake allergies) and is because they are looking for someone modest, comfortable with themselves and who is likely as they are to be inexperienced with relationships and\or looking towards something permanent where the two sides will be open about and share the responsibilities of the burdens and feelings of personal inadequacy.

  2760. Depends on the version but basically yeah it was created to spread the French liberal project (basically the religion of Rousseau) and people within it or offshoots/competitors would serve as an influence and organisational means for the more radical American revolutionaries, the French revolutionaries and various other liberal schemes, there is a reason the Catholics are so paranoid about them. Likewise they would be directly important to the sudden breakout of the Greek war of independence and the attempted decemberist coup to overthrow the Russian empire, I haven't read enough but I would imagine they were also involved in 1848, however after that they decline in relevance and various socialist derived groups like the fabians take the fore. It is important to not see them as one organisation but as many similar groups sharing a discourse and often scrabbling over tactics or the splitting of hairs, a bit like the right wing presence online.

I hardly need to mention that we have an increasingly puny military thanks to cuts always hitting personal and never massively over budget ego trips by higher ups, at this rate we shall have a serious shortage of men to use the tech.

In the 12th century talking about Russia was a bit like talking about India or Italy before unification though what are today Ukrainians would probably be seen as the 'primary' Russians at least until the Mongols showed up. It was a way of categorizing Slavic people's with similar languages and religious practices whom had once lived along with the Rus Scandinavians. If you want the history of the creation of the Russian national identity there are many good books on the subject, all you need to know is that something alway having always existed doesn't delegitimise it's existence now.

Probably the worst of the toxic feminine traits is giving malicious advice to other women to affirm one's own mistakes. It's really evil.

Food poisoning would likely be easy to recognise for them, what they had limited even their capacity to understand it's implications. The Captain and first officers were probably having enough trouble trying to go through their practiced motions, and even slight complexity inhibited their comprehension of events. Unfortunately the only thing that could have stopped them is if one of the plane staff had noticed they were out of it during boarding and sent them to the doctor for a drug test.

The Turks were excellent in sieges, mostly because they were willing to take the massive casualties by utilising conscripts and people who had volunteered for the opportunity to commit war crimes as cannon fodder. The Turks earned a reputation across Europe as barbarous savages who committed acts of unspeakable evil to satisfy their base inclinations. Unfortunately Europe has since the crusades been exceptional poor at responding to existential threats, must be sad to the Muslims that we are being destroyed from within and that they are only a contributing factor who commit unspeakable acts against children almost pathologically, and in so doing proves establishment intentions by the facilitation of such revolting monstrosities.

Also read the Cossacks by Shane, they were targeted for liquidation as a whole, this was Soviet policy.

  2799. About the massacre, it was 1919 and a British officer got it into his head that there was going to be another mutiny, he declared a curfew....during an important religious festival, when everyone ignore it he took over some Gurkha troops (likely gurkhas as they had a reputation for not questioning orders no matter how questionable or suicidal they were, and with what he wanted to do British troops likely would have detained him and native refused) snuck up to a party of civilians celebrating the festival ordered his men to open fire, over 100 died and probably more as the Indians had a habit of taking bodies off for burial without telling record keepers, he was arrested, big surprise, but the injustice was that he wasn't shot for it with lead to rumours among the Indians that he was acting under orders (he wasn't it was just a legal travesty). This lead to a huge amount of disillusionment with British rule and was in many ways the kickstart of the independence movement outside of small westernized middle class circles, before it their was generally little dissatisfaction with British rule as it was seen as legitimate and the Indians had a very high estimate of the fairness and impartiality of British law, the massacre basically blew that out of the water and politicised a good deal of the population who had before been totally apathetic or naturally loyal.

Christians aren't that that is likely to do with personal morality, as it is as moral repulsive for you to r*pe someone as for someone of your group to be r*ped, Nazi's, commies, etc don't make this distinction, it's perfectly fine so long as it's you in control.

  2814. The invasion of Russia wiped out irreplaceable veterans that were vital to the Napoleonic war machine, and allowed the states under him to rebel, the Russian Army was then a very major force in his following defeat. Likewise during the hundred day Napoleon hoped to defeat opposing armies in detail, he fell at the first hurdle, even if he had won his next opponents would have been the Austrians and Russians, and he likely would have lost again to a mixture of careful strategy and the ability of the Russian Empire to fill in for the other nations who had been seriously stretched by decades of war and devastation. The fact that the war ended with Russia as the preeminent European power (with Britain the leading global power but much less invested in direct influence on the continent) was a major component of the shape of the post war order, France retained territorial integrity thanks to the concern that balkenising a great power would only further egrandise Russia, likewise the Austrians managed to gain assurances that in return for a pan-European alliance against liberal revolutionaries Russia would not carve up the Ottoman Empire as was a very major ambition of theirs. I'm sorry, the WW2 bit was overstating considerably (even if the Russians relied heavily on their allies those allies would have had to fight a very different war without them, Germany was not a pushover, even if they were very much fighting against the odds), but the Napoleon bit is just plain wrong, if he had not invaded Russia the possibility of his dynasty retaining power to this day would not be inconsiderable, it was offered to him even after his winter retreat should he have abdicated (his son would be emperor and his step-son from his first marriage regent), unfortunately for him he was a gambler who's luck had run dry before his appetite for risk had.

  2815. American news is very open about it's bias. European media is more like Pravda, it frames stories editorially that are typically given to them by a few central outlets. It's still not really journalism, but it looks a lot more like it. The reputation of these media bodies is not high, since practices like the editing of interviews or very controlled expression of views is becoming more widely understood. There is also the controversy over government censorship, though self-censorship has sparked even wider distrust as absolutely massive scandals have been covered up by the press due to their firm position within the entrenched interests of the current establishment.

  2830. Abortion was literally a crime. It's the murder of a child, obviously a Christian society is opposed to such barbarity. The Romans used to widely practice infanticide, Christians were known to take they unwanted children left to die of exposure in and raise them as their own. If you don't want your children leave them for adoption, babies are alive in the womb and many of those aborted can feel pain. Honestly there is nothing more demonic in our society that the murder of defenceless babes in the womb by their own mothers. Either don't get pregnant or take responsibility and give the child up to life even if you will never see them again, why should personal convenience give you the right to take the life of another.

  2832.  @ShermanistDruid I'm a Christian, I want civilisation back, not to erase it in the pursuit of a false utopia. Liberalism has destroyed us, we can not build things back up with it. That said as an Englishman I support the traditional liberties of Englishmen, but you can have a look at how many of them are enforced today if you want to understand the viability of liberal democracy. As I'm sure that will be misinterpreted, I'm not against people running their own communities, but I am against an unaccountable parliament running the country, what we have now may conform to the structure of liberalism but it most certainly in conflict with the intentions, unless you are a French revolutionary type. To preserve freedom it is necessary to kill liberalism, I am not rejecting the ideals of liberalism (for the most part) but its claims of being able to achieve them. Part of this is that the ideology came about as a justification of the supremacy of parliament in the first place using rights never given by parliament but only degraded by them, it's basically a continuation of the arguments of the English civil war and glorious revolution. Given their track record I'm surprised the nation survived them this long.

  2835. It doesn't sound like they will miss you, I feel sorry for your kids. You will find the issues mentioned are problems everywhere and worse in most places, it has merely been that case that Europe is much more willing to not admit or hide issues from public view. Tokyo is not the nicest place in Japan for raising a family or first world problems, personally I just would have gone somewhere more rural but you seem to have built up a lot of resentment so I guess that's not a possibility. I'm sorry to say that whatever you are looking for you will likely be disappointed.

  2836. Japanese is not the second hardest language, I can identify the individual words. It sounds like they are talking and not just grunting like animals (anything Turkic), making it up as they go along like I'd pretty sure most of as did when pretending to make up a language as children (whatever the hell the other Asian languages are meant to be) or choking to death on something in the case of the Celtic "languages". Also the sounds would merely be brutally eviscerated by an english speaker rather than being literally incomprehensible and likely only possible to imitate after having a flute shoved down ones throat or in the midst of being tortured with a nut cracker (yes I do mean what you think by that).

  2837. The line between good and evil crosses through the heart of every man. But yeah the elite are basically satanic, it's just that they don't have a monopoly on evil, especially as they like to make others complicit in it so as to stop any alternative power centres arising or being supported by the public.

  2838. Some of the people in here's viewpoints are disturbing. Her later life choices don't have much relevance on something that happened before that, she was a victim and had no culpability in what happened to her. Sounds like her parents made the wrong choice to send her to school and it was a particularly bad one. Her attacker should not have got a 100 day sentence such a sentence is an active injustice and is encouragement to further crimes of a similar nature (and no doubt those victims would know not to bother with the legal route), personally I think he should have been killed for it but I'm willing to be convinced that death alone might be too lenient by half. The age of maturity isn't terribly relevant, it's largely contextual anyway, considering personal debt one could argue that most Americans lack personal responsibility and maturity, considering national debt one could say the same about the older generation. Whatever your age the world's got to live with your decisions and chances are you'll have to too.

  2839. A note on the Polynesian culture thing. It is unfortunately likely they they were telling the truth when they said that such behaviour was a long standing tradition, the first women on the island (brought over by the mutineers) were kidnapped native women and it's likely that that dynamic set the tone for the next two hundred years (that and the mutineers being massive sacks of shit, who would have guessed). The island is the reason that the sun still doesn't set on the British Empire so I doubt it will be abandoned, maybe it will become a prison colony for sex offenders we want to deport but Pakistan doesn't want back.

No, colleges owe their success much more to making people think they are required than any objective usefulness, even in the areas where they are certainly required (like medical training) they are often hilariously inefficient and out of touch with reality or a sense of the worth of time or indeed the money the extract from students. Also in non results focused subjects academics are to the intellectual discussion what politicians are to the political structure.

  2852. Salem witch trials was the puritans, who had fled England due to their religious differences with the church of England and the fact that most people didn't like them much. They are basically about as far removed from Catholics as you can get without being a Satanist, very extreme protestants. The Catholics did do some witch burning but the official stance of the church had always been that Witches didn't exist but crazy people, liers and charlatans did. Most of it was done by scared civilians in places where centralised power had collapsed and the midst of civil war and mass war crimes and depopulation, there were also a couple of kings who thought that Witches were out to get them and organised their own hunts (notably James the I of England and VI of Scotland, who tortured, strangled and burnt a good few people up in Scotland over it (though to be fair he was completely right to be totally paranoid, the Scottish political situation was a mess and assassinations were very much in fashion) and is the reason Macbeth has Witches in).

  2853. All these "associations" will be coercive, they will have to gatekeep and punish, if they weren't coercive then they would simply not be able to back up their intentions unless everyone agrees. Also it is utopian, you are basically just asking for people to form into Italian city states and use insurance companies as the mercenaries. Also like socialism there is no way for it to persist worldwide unless you expand it worldwide, if I was the leader of a traditional state I would be quite happy with a region filled with this kind of them as my strategic options would be quite diverse and there would be plentiful opportunities for economies of scale and divide and rule.

  2854. Cos it's not over 50%, the politicians don't want a shakeup and the small fact that they are pro-American and European and the Serbs would probably not spit on those for fear of polluting their saliva. The bringing them back is on principal (Christianity and Serb nationalism is very pro-monarchy), they would probably be very unpopular for not being anti-nato enough and for thinking democracy is anything other than gay, corrupt and godless. The thing is they are the heirs of Serb hero kings so they would be more legitimate that kidnapping a Romanov or something, though if Russia gets a Tsar again he might have to watch out about going down backalleys.

  2856. It won't be, women are social monitor devices, they will follow what they think is prestigious and what other women do, giving them a pay rise will only facilitate them continuing within the system, they still very largely follow it despite limited actual worth. Contraception needs to be banned and women removed from the workforce, welfare should be obliterated, and marriage and family brought back. Given how women are they will support it once it happens, just like they have always done irrespective of the actual cause. At least it will be a cause that actually makes them happy as women genuinely like children and security, while they mostly don't understand ideology even if they find it very important to give off the impression that they are part of whatever the current fashion is.

  2857. To be honest even if this was a good idea the British regime couldn't manage a pissup in a brewery. This is the country that fails in building rail infrastructure and yet thinks banning cars is a good idea. It's also the country that blew up it's coal powerplants with dynamite and now has to important energy from Europe in the middle of an energy crisis. Nothing is going to pan out until the civil service is purged on incompetents and the political system is overhauled away from the two blairist parties and dominance of corrupt idiots. Frankly at this point incompetent in much less as concern to the population that malice, I mean take a look at our legal system, economy, industry and standard of living. It's pretty clear that our democracy isn't representative. I mean what sort of ruling class would allow for grooming gangs to target their nation's children, we clearly have a lot of 'praise Satan' types running things.

  2859. Their ethics aren't your own, which is were they real point lays. The reason why they talk about this stuff is that they come from a different moral paradigm, basically just the prexisting one as they haven't really thought it though just as those who accuse them of immorality haven't really thought though that that's about the same as a Confucian calling a Christian immoral, they have different values in the first place. Also left wing claims of a lack of sincerity are often self-confessions, they are far more post-modern in their outlook than conservatives are.

What you are espousing is wig history, or the idea that things are by definition getting better because year number be higher, this is how idiots in the elite can remain totally blind to reality for the majority of the population, also in case it's not obvious the whole thing is about as legitimate as an Italian business, humans have had outright collapses, regressions meanwhile are just as normal as the things that cause them, likewise something isn't good just because it's new, HIV is new, should we make everyone have it so they can be down with the kids.

  2876. East Asian societies went from highly Confucian state cultures, extended families and high mortality salients to state inforced liberalism, unsupported family structures and almost total safety both in half a century and for the first time ever. They are exceptionally conformist, it's no wonder that cultures with absolutely no concept of basics such as courtship outside of arranged marriage would be hammered by the full deployment of social liberalism. It's bad enough in our countries, where this slowly developed and had precursors.

They were occupied by America after the war and part of that was reforming the education system, though it should be noted that the Japanese education system is much much better despite being outwardly structured the same.

  2881. As an autodidiact and someone who has since gone to university I will say that the existing databases within academia are superior to just finding stuff on the internet, but there is an ungodly amount of noise, Google scholar is almost unusable (90%+ of what you get is utter drivel, the remaining 10% is probably unrelated to the topic), but university library search engines are usually a lot better. The fact is that the internet as a lot more on some subjects than others, and the search engine is often saturated with normie content. For example I was trying to find out about the traditional furnishings of a yurt yesterday, I finally found a manufacturer who gives good details of yurts at all and makes ones which aren't just tents with a wooden skeleton (actual yurts use felt lining, as insulation is preferable for something you are living in and moisture needs to get out so you don't just make a fungus farm), but again the furnishings are western. I found some footage of Mongol stuff but I was looking for Turkic, and some of Turkic but it was not traditional. The search goes on, in an academic database I would quickly be lead to some autist Victorian who had already done the work for me and ten papers on how yurt living is sexist because it allows for affordable housing and thus the possibility of a single income family, and is classist because middle class plonkers like holidaying in canvas tents made up to look like them. Likewise with a lot of this stuff, the way to find out obscure things on the internet is fairly unorthodox. My original source for the traditional interiors is a manga called a bride's tale, I know the author is very well informed about central Asian material culture, but good luck finding much about it in English. But then occasionally you'll get the opposite, for instance information on the circassians has been put online by an obscure website, and dissident literature reaches an increasingly wide audience.

  2885. They used the brown bess, or matchlocks in the case of non-sepoy forces, as a result they tended to be outranged and would probably have been so more often if not for the fact that the British were very aggressive and usually took things to the sword and bayonet regardless of casualties. Due to the murder of British women and children there were many British driven by anger and the more cautious commanders typically didn't get to grips with the enemy in the first place due to being greatly outnumbered.

  2886. Heretics were persecuted in the Empire and so many fled into Arabia, early on the Romans thought that Islam was just a weird version of Gnosticism, Muhammad also seems to have mistakenly thought he was in contact with mainstream Christianity and Judaism and that they would accept him as a legitimate prophet, he tried to accommodate existing theology but because of his sources of information it was fairly blatant to a lot of actual Christians and Jews that he was making stuff up as he went along and they could point out all sorts of mistakes he made, the most famous one is probably thinking Mary was part of the trinity.

  2887. America is already under the control of the managerial elite and has been for a long time. Also who knows about how long the empire will last but the current paradigm is completely doomed due to the over reliance on the tribute system the US has essentially strongarmed it's satrapies into. They do this by printing money and requiring the subjects to trade in those dollars fornservices.

  2888. I would not trust the UK state media apparatus at all, we have know for some time that intelligence services have extensive planning on place to suppress discontent from the population. In many regards we are simply living in a Soviet style state, even more so now that we have show trials to go with the psychological operations. The whole mosque thing it seems like was a media narrative, the protest was on a road near where the attack happened and there happened to be a mosque there, the protests themselves were largely unplanned and were drummed up on Facebook and Instagram rather than Twitter, the sort of people who went aren't the sort to have much cared about narrative control or disinformation. As a Brit I can say this was utterly predictable, even if other groups cause trouble they mostly keep it to themselves, there is one group that has made themselves enemies of practically every other, and the working class has been dealing with their grooming gangs for decades now. The media lie more easily than they breathe, it is their entire purpose, all the rest is merely to gain trust for the lying. I wouldn't believe anything from them at all, if there were photographs they were almost certainly staged, if things actually happened they won't have reported on it. They are pure propaganda outfits, all of them. Every other institution is rotten to the core, the police are a partisan force, they side with some communities and actively facilitate them in victimising others. The legal system is an insult to justice. The public and private sectors are an incestuous grouping of corporate monoliths animated by pension funds and controlled by a managerial elite who are totally disconnected from responsibilities and standards. The political sphere is almost a mockery of the ideals of governance, they are corrupt, incompetent, arrogant, foolish and malicious, they have no virtues and are generally too insignificant as people to embody any great sins, they are merely children in charge of a vast apparatus of power, who don't understand it, nor do they try, they are content to play king on the castle while the country burns. There predecessors destroyed every institution and social norm sacred to the nation and these lot are just content to let anything left slip into the sea, along with our future and existence as a people. The only solution is revolution, the rotting edifices must be swept away and clear space created for the foundations of a civilisation to be relaid on whatever remains. There are so many problems that solutions are easy, everywhere you turn there are problems that can be fixed if only they would be seen to, but there are deeper problems as well, all the institutions must be destroyed, there is no saving what they have become, and thus a generation of men able to built are needed to see to new structures being built up. Our other option is to go out of history, to through inaction see our people go extinct and our children destroyed. I speak for many when I say I would rather have the hardships of now than have my children face it, as that is the duty of parents.

  2891.  @lambofdog2584  My understanding of it is that people are always given the option of forgiveness but it is up to God to judge the sincerity, and thus it shouldn’t be used to save someone from punishment in this world. Certainly I don’t think things can be dealt with any other way when it comes to more serious matters, the constant moving around internally of predators within a various churches for example makes the organisation complicit in the crimes that result. God was also the God of the old testament, like any good parent he can be both harsh and kind depending on what is needed, and as he can see intentions I think things like self defence are mostly troublesome to us in the physical world. Considering that he is sending them to eternal torment I don’t think he minds them being sent sooner so long as the person doing so is not equally twisted I so doing , if I recall when it comes to children even Jesus thought it enough to say something about lodestones and throwing into the sea, though that may not have been what he meant at all.
