>>18768852A Japanese POW admitted all of Japan's casualty stats are bullshit (this downplayed 1700 number wasn't even counted in the official Japanese military encyclopedia of the Pacific war)https://apjjf.org/tsuneishi-keiichi/2194/article>Beginning in 1942, Japan began dropping pathogens from airplanes into battlefield zones, on a scale that amounted to a combat operation. In April, Japan launched the Zhejiang campaign. In this campaign, Ishii and company carried out massive biological weapons attacks. Cholera bacteria was the main pathogen employed, and the attacks resulted in more than 10,000 casualties. It has also been reported that some victims contracted dysentery and the plague. More than 1700 soldiers died, mostly from cholera. This would have been considered a great success for the Ishii group, but for the fact that all of the victims were Japanese soldiers.>A Japanese medic captured by American forces at the end of 1944 described the casualties among the Japanese army during his interrogation: “When Japanese troops overran an area in which a [biological weapons] attack had been made during the Chekiang [Zhejiang] campaign in 1942, casualties upward from 10,000 resulted within a very brief period of time. Diseases were particularly cholera, but also dysentery and pest [bubonic plague]. Victims were usually rushed to hospitals in rear. … Statistics which POW saw at Water Supply and Purification Dept Hq at Nanking showed more than 1,700 dead, chiefly from cholera; POW believes that actual deaths were considerably higher, ‘it being a common practice to pare down unpleasant figures.’” [3]Japan's real TFR is most likely below 1 already.

How did Marathas fumble this?
The British had a superior navy and had control over their ports. There was also infighting going on which the British had leverage over. It's a classic "divide and conquer" textbook example.
>>18767279Because the brits defeated them.
>>18767279That's a bad map. It doesn't show the divisions within the Maratha Confederacy. The Maratha consisted of five major dynastic states plus minor states and tributaries.
Because they weren't a real unified nation. "Confederacy" is apt, but painting them as one big happy family isn't.
>>18767382It’s similar to Medieval Eastern Europe. Both had forces that wished to unify all of their particular region under themselves (Byzantine Empire/Mughal Empire), both had dissenting kingdoms of many different peoples speaking different languages and variants of religion inhabiting their regions, and both were eventually conquered and unified by outside forces (Ottomans and USSR/British). Except in the case of the Indians they were able to gain a sense of national identity with the ample help of the British.

>>18768883Right; You can't read, and you can't understand the Bible, because you don't have God's spirit. You're going to Hell. Any questions?
>>18768898Explain what it actually says then
>>18768899What's the point? I already did, and you immediately started shitting yourself. What would be different this time? Did you get that lobotomy? No? Then why are you wasting my time?
>>18768900Certainly didn't explain it to me. To me it looks like you can't read at all and someone just told you what to believe.

Why is there even a "debate" about whether the industrial revolution was a good thing or not?Living standards for the working class(working hours, incomes, safety) was all radically improved from 1800 to 1900. All of this was a result of production becoming more efficient, less inputs being used to produce more outputs. It was the working class who was receiving the end stage output of this production. No, it had literally nothing to do with unions or government passing laws, the improvements happened mostly in non-union sectors.The people that deny this are sociopaths that want to block this poverty reducing process and deserve to be imprisoned or executed as traitors to the working class. I'm talking about socialists, fascists, central bank supporters and communists. They all deserve death.
>>18768009>maoist china was capitalism, GOT ITYes but unironically, same with Stalin's Soviet UnionThe emphasis might lay more heavily on the state part of state capitalism but state capitalism is still capitalism
>>18768600>this horror hellscape my ideology created is actually YOUR FAULT chudThis is why nobody takes marxists seriously, they aren't serious people.Is north korea state capitalism too even though the government literally owns everything?
>>18768609I don't give a fuck about ideology i am not talking about ideology. When I am talking about capitalism I am not talking about an ideology i am talking about an economic system. >even though the government owns everything Yes, even if the government owns everything. Socialism isn't just "the government does stuff" and capitalism isn't just "the government does nothing"
>>18768627>i am talking about an economic system.Me too? I was just referring to your marxist ideology, which is why you believe in retarded things like "state capitalism".>Yes, even if the government owns everything. LOL Okay. Please tell me why north korea is still "capitalism". This should be funny.>Socialism isn't just "the government does stuff" and capitalism isn't just "the government does nothing"I didn't say they simply do stuff. I said they own the means of production. They do this through a workers vanguard party. Capitalism and private property are not allowed. How is this magically "capitalism"?Try answering without being dishonest.
>>18768701>state capitalismis hardly an exclusively marxist concept.>They do this through a workers vanguard party. Capitalism and private property are not allowed. How is this magically "capitalism"?>Try answering without being dishonest.In marxist terminology what you describe would be called the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. The DotP is not socialism, the primary features of capitalist production remain in place, but the state is now in the hands of a party which represents the class interests of the Proletariat. There you now have the actual marxist answer.>but private property-Property owned by the state rather than a single individual is still property. A business enterprise managed by state administrators is still a business enterprise.
Is it just copying anti slavic chauvinism from westerners?
Post it.
Ahhh, so desu ka?These things never make any sense to me, I quibble with just about every question.

>>18768877I got the same retarded result. Eh
>>18768885Honestly I think I just don't really much care about philosophy. I'm not convinced that a test that would settle the "do we have free will?" question could even be designed, but that's not a stance on free will. It just doesn't seem worth worrying about. So much of philosophy seems to be just trying to axiom your way in to unattainable answers.
I got…Mencius, and…Edith Stein?I’m more aligned with Western religious philosophy than Eastern, so guess it’s time to read up on some analytical Thomism or whatever the 20th century revival of scholasticism was called. What’re y’all’s recs? I only know Stein and Alasdair MacIntyre.
>Taco Bell first added the Chalupa to their menu in 1999What have been the long-term historical consequences of this?
>>18765334>basically indigenous frybread as a tacoThis is not new and the historical consequences were disastrous for the indigenous a century earlier. Like, what did you expect?
>>18767169it was a different time>>18767178I'm sure you'll remember eventually
went there for lunch today and found out someone ordered 100 tacos for some eventwas pretty interesting waiting for my food and watching them making tacos and putting them into a box
>>18768860What kind of cheap corporate event orders catering from taco bell?!?
>>18768892maybe a start up? also was never mentioned what kind of event so it could have been a birthday, a video game thing, or someone really wanted 100 tacoshonestly i was wondering how the tacos were gonna stay warm? surely by the 40th or 50th taco the first few were losing their warmth
I normally don't say this often, but this is one of those times where "thing, Japanese thing" is unironically warrented. They were mogged by superior conquistadores and only become better with more European influence over time.Why do Protestants glorify and even larp as them?
>>18768169He's just a Protestant Timmy projecting onto latinx folx
>>18768495
>>18768077Stop memeing this shit. There's is no historical record of Spanish soldiers fighting samurai. The alleged Battle of Caguyan is based on the tall tale of an alcoholic Spanish sailor. No official military and bureaucratic account corroborates this story. >They were mogged by superior conquistadores and only become better with more European influence over time.Contrary to retarded modern views, the Europeans in Asia were smart enough to avoid open conflict with the regional powers. They were too small in numbers to present a formidable force, and in the few instances they pissed off the regional powers, they got swatted like flies. >Why do Protestants glorify and even larp as them?Orientalism
>>18768077The Cagayan batttle was fought against a group of Wokou, which were motley crews of both japanese and chinese pirates. According to the updated Wikipedia article, only a handful of them were ever Ronin. You're basically acting like a Caribbean pirate crew was actually composed of knights fully arrayed in beautiful plate armor because a captain somewhere received a title or two while working as a corsair for a kingdom.>>18768162The battle was fought in the Philippines against a band of pirates, so it is quite unlikely for there to have been any Japanese women around.
>>18768481Japan wasn't into fighting outside of Japan
Is this newly consecrated Catholic Bishop a Freemason?He uses the masonic phrase ‘friendship and love’ within the first 25 seconds of his address. https://youtu.be/VRjbdgx8ndcThis phrase originates from the Masonic initiation ritual and is found throughout Masonic literature and art.
>>18768865>Join them, it's good people. Better than anyone you've ever hung out withWhat makes them 'better'? Just because they're members of a club? A virtuous person doesn't need to join a team in order to be virtuous.
>>18768870I'm just saying they are virtuous. It's amazing what good men they are every where I go. I never tell them my Gpa was one because none of us care about that. We just care about trying to be good people Now my only friend that struggled with heroin addiction, chad white dude trust fundz he blew up on the Knights but he was also a Mason and not friends with them anymore either. He hasn't left his house in 3 years. He's losing it. No friends, life is over. I keep telling him to join the Mens ClubYou guys have virtue, you would too or at least would ally with them
>>18768879>he was also a MasonHe did this bc his non-Catholic boss (his wife's Dad) and non-Catholic wife urhed him too
>>18768870>>18768879>>18768881Oh expect blue collar types but successful blue collar, which is how the Masons probably were in Founding Father times. Now its all Jew. All rich and powerful. In the American suburbs at least. 90% white out there, 100% at Mens Club & Knights. Now I'm in the city by downtown where I have 50% black in my neighborhood, very rich white in two directions hood the other, and more sketchy mixed like mine the otherBut we white taking over the hood fast. You bitches that hate niggers ain't doing shit yo get out back except. We shall see if it's like how it was it the white suburbs (which still had rich, upper middle, lower middle and poor white just in the white areas, which was most of them)
>>18768891To specific:My friend that did both KofC and Masons, he took me to the downtown hub of the KofC, still no Jews. But Masons? All Jews. All rich and powerful Confirmed by my other psycho friend that joined the Masons and quit. Both for same reasons: bc they wanted to hit someone like a nigger. You're all niggers here on 4chan. When is the last time you did a community service project? You're a fucking nigger. Lower than a nigger as they at least get into Christianity (they are the most conservative, you would love each other,)
Why do muslims still exist? It's honestly sad like move on from the middle-ages already.

Realize you're going to be dumb as shit until you're 80 then you die thinking about what and idiot you wereI was most definitely just as dumb as you when I was your age and it's painful to remember

how can anyone mistake a circumcised jewish rabbi for divinity? its utterly preposterous
>>18768771Tick tock.
>>18768840I notice how instead of addressing a single point you just attack the person who's making the points. This reflects on you more than on anybody else. I take it you believe in the bible?
>>18768842Just stay focused on the Jesus, who you are a massive disappointment to, the Holy Spirit you are crushing with your sheet retardation, and try not to kill yourself
>>18768847I don't care about a dead Jewish cult leaders approval, much less from a modern cult follower who hates history.
>>18768840No one here thinks you are smart.
