A job fighting for your country is still a good job. And welfare payouts in the late 40s and 50s were not as high
What if he was using it as a pretense to get access to their large slave market there <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
I thought it was the Aztecs that had the water gardens
The announcers are the worst part
Was Thatcher too emotional and manipulatable?
America takes other people's things and makes them actually good, whether that be the lightbulb, food etc.
I'm talking about things we invented, not directly produced.
It depends on the region in the us though, the South still has a strong culture of honor
Some black people have culture, just look at New Orleans
Being a terrible city does not mean its without culture though
There is a reason that a lot of American culture would appear vacant without the media and consumerism, and that is because our culture is so widespread it dominates the media and consumerism of even other countries
Is Hollywood not american culture (I don't like hollywood as much as you but still)?
Its made in America, its an industry that was born in America, it contains many themes relevant to American history etc. I wouldn't say it's representative of all the cultures of all Americans, its more of a coastal californian influenced thing but its still a key part of American culture, especially of American culture as perceived by outsiders
3rd amendment is only for peacetime btw
!rank
If the we want immigrants, then they at the very least should 1.work and 2.respect the nation's laws. Illegal immigrants violate the 2nd so we don't want them
Veronica is the real villian
Bring back the monarchy, its better that way
Thanos snap the iranians
can you imagine if we could get the muslim world like in the 1300s
The saudis are only an example of Islamic radicalization, not the (only) cause. I think the actual cause has more to do with people adapting to a newfound urban lifestyle and needing to find a cultural foundation for it in fundamental islam
The saudis made it a lot worse yeah, but I don't think its the whole story. People still had to be receptible to it. After all if you built a whole bunch of fundamentalist churches in Europe or the U.S. it would cause a great radicalization of most people, most people would just laugh at them
But people don't accept things like that forever, people rebel against the system if they have a reason to (and sometimes not even that). There was something binding them to their religion that isn't present in modern day Western societies
Yeah, but something kept starting making them believing that nonsense in the first place when things just started getting bad. There was a reason this irritation is starting now and not decades ago
If we want to put the blame even further back, everything is Mohammed's fault
<:think_woke:378717098681171988>
Even further back and its Moses's fault
It's the fault of whatever monkey decided to jump down from the tree
The people who blame guns for bad things that happen should be ideologically consistent and blame them for the good things that happen too. Every condemnation of guns over mass-shootings should be followed up by declarations of thanks for guns over how they killed Hitler. @GeorgyBoyo

I'm pretty sure CNN would do stupid stuff regardless of whether they needed to distract from something or not
That's nonsense, we live on a globe
its just hollow and full of aliens <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>
Single motherhood is a bigger indicator of crime than race or poverty
<:HonkHonk:566814473646768128>
Unions are just as guilty for lobbying and paying off politicians as corporations are
A middle easterner could sell rope to an eskimo to make a net
In response the proud boys should call themselves "the cure to cancer" so every time someone on the left attacks them they have to defend cancer<:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>
@MountainMan burning plant matter creates ash which in turn creates fertile soil. The fire is pretty terrible for the ecosystem but it will grow back eventually. After all slash and burn agriculture has been going on in the rainforest for years
That's the problem when polls use vague terms like this, since not everyone agrees on what the word "immigrants" really is, whether it includes illegal immigrants or not, whether it includes refugees or not etc.
Europeans better hope the U.S. doesn't get socialized healthcare, the high prices for drugs is what is subsidizing massive amounts of R&D to the benefit of all (even Europeans)
Yeah it does, since the govt is the one doing the bargaining and the govt. would take flak for having higher prices
"Progress" for the American healthcare system would be seeing less federal govt. involvement with deregulation of drugs and insurance. This would see a dramatic cost reduction, while still seeing much of the R&D we have today
Society can't hire/fire/directly oversee bureaucrats, Its up to someone in the govt. to do that. While society could always overthrow the govt, this is hard so won't be done often.
The security camera committed suicide too
But a truly all-knowing God could know all outcomes of all the choices you could make - and if God is beyond space and time it means he could also be beyond the law of causality (that effect comes after cause) and thus could know the outcome of your life before you make the choices in the same way a normal person would know after
Corporations are built to provide a good or service in exchange for something else to make a profit. This may or may not be beneficial to the public good but at least they are a predictable. A government is beholden to many more interests than corporations and thus are less trustworthy even if they may serve the public better in some cases. This is why we should still have some govt. presence although it should be small and heavily watched
I agree, but how would you choose a different decentralized law system? @Fitzydog
Private police forces wouldn't be the problem, it would be differing law systems
You don't need to root out corruption, just choose another company.
It would be easier to start a private security company though than an internet infrastructure company. More competitors would be available so the chance that these companies form a corrupt oligopoly would be lower
China is an export economy, so why not just target export related infrastructure. You would do serious damage to China without having to commit massive war crimes
Its already controlled by commies so it can't get any worse
Taking land from the most productive farms and then printing money to make up the difference <:high_iq:382980759012638731>
Africans need to give up tribalism before they can start being stable and profitable. They need to think more of the state and of the individual than of the tribe
Capitalism is better for agrarian shithole countries too, compared how many people died in the USSR for it to industrialize compared to how many died in the US for the same process to happen
The US went from a completely agrarian society to the largest industrialized economy (by far) in less than 200 years. Capitalism did it with much fewer deaths
The US was not industrialized from the start, 1776 was before industrialization took off in the U.S.
But the U.S. was just an agrarian colony of the U.K. for most of the 18th century, only there to export ag goods
The nation's of Europe should just organize free trade deals among themselves without the need of a massive transnational entity to do it for them
Honestly if the E.U. would reform itself, It should become similar to the United States in that the Parliament would be like the house of reps. and the council like the house of reps. The commission should be ended
I mean just in terms of legislative houses, not in terms of anything else
Obviously the E.U. will never have the same cohesion or sense of identity as the U.S.
Brown was terrible in his own way though, remember the rail he was building?
The "You've never heard of" line is used just to get clicks. Even the BBC uses clickbait
Also it would only be a temporary fix unless you continued to pay down the debt which have an enormous cost
Uncle Sam has got his own debt crisis to worry about as well
Pure gold is too soft though, it would have to be an alloy
A small govt. with popular oversight and procedures to handle corruption and a constitution that guarantees economic liberty would be able to resist bribery by corporations/individuals
If worker coops were more successful at satisfying the needs of the consumer and thus making a profit they would naturally dominate in a capitalist society. But they aren't because coops are less efficient at quickly and accurately serving the consumer
I imagine the Iraqi Kurds are a lot more pro west
I think having to pass a test on Civic knowledge before voting might be useful. Forces people to actually know what the elected official they are voting for has to do
States are necessary in a society where not everyone knows each other or can know each other. Law and the enforcement of it is needed to keep the peace lest conflict between individuals/families/organizations grows out of control
Killing in the defense of your property/life is fully defensible.
Yeah it's not necessary legal everywhere in the US, but it should be
One of the big reasons we have the 2nd amendment is the defense of property and life
I wish hoi4 relied more on universal complex mechanics to drive history (like vic2) rather than just focus trees
It's harder to clean up the mess with a machete
Cyclopia is pretty bad
