Pener Kropoopkin posted:Lenin was right. If at any situation you find yourself saying 'Lenin was right' please stop and review your position  The armed forces were thoroughly fraternizing with and supporting the strikers. Commanders at the time had no faith they would fire upon friends and family and therefore actively urged politicians to go with bribing the communists to co-opt the revolution.

NikkolasKing posted:My favorite name for the American Civil War is The War Between the States. I just don't think civil war properly captures how the North and South were essentially different worlds. Slavery may have been the main issue but there were massive differences in culture, religion and economy dating back to Colonial days. A war was inevitable. The war was inevitable because of the mutually antagonistic interests of slavers and free labor. Differences in culture and religion were already non-issues because of semi-autonomy afforded to the states, and the disestablishmentarianism cemented in the constitution. Saying a war was inevitable because the North and South were just so different is moronic. Tias posted:If at any situation you find yourself saying 'Lenin was right' please stop and review your position The people's army also fraternized with the Tiennamen Square demonstrators and weren't willing to open fire on them. They got around the problem by bringing in ringers from the provinces who hated city folk and didn't have any issues following orders. All those guys fraternizing with the demonstrators would have been cycled out to bring in a bunch of the same people who ended up voting overwhelmingly for De Gaulle.

Saying a war was inevitable because the North and South were just so different is moronic. I did say economics in my list, although the truth is that that culture, religion and economics were all tied together here. Southerners thought i was their God-given right to own slaves and were happy to infringe on states' rights for this end. Perhaps I exaggerated to say differing cultures would lead to war but these differences and perception of differences exacerbated the slavery issue. Sorry, I think that is a fair way to characterize things.

the cultural + religious apologism for slavery was informed and produced by the economic/class relations, not the other way around (and arguable still are).

Yeah, if you take slavery out of the equation then there is no antagonism between the North and South that would lead to war.

It's so bizarre that these guys wander around going "White people are the only people who are creative" when these loving dudes can't make anything that wasn't getting churned out since loving Gamergate. red panels and stone toss are likely made by the same person

DreamShipWrecked posted:After learning about The Troubles I just assume that anything with a mildly unpleasant name is some sort of massive insurgency. The Queen's english has a lot of understatement and dry sarcasm built in to it, probably a legacy of the class system, that is generally lost on Americans. I've heard that it's a cultural gap that has to be addressed in joint military operations because American officers may parse a phrase like "a bit of trouble" or "if you think that's wise" as offhand commentary instead of as a serious warning or stinging rebuke. Kit Walker posted:Well there is the concept of relationship anarchy, which evaluates each relationship individually rather than as a hierarchy. Like the standard view on relationships is something like “monogamous romantic partner” > “family” > “friend” > “acquaintance,” etc with some muddled positions that fall somewhere in between (like work-friend). Relationship anarchy is more like looking at each individual person and being like “that’s someone I just sleep with but don’t really share any intimacy with,” “that’s someone I’m both in a romantic and what the gently caress is this and what will it look like when they're all in their 50s and 60s?

the best part about twitter is that some people say the quiet part loud: https://twitter.com/Enoch_Powerrrr/status/993412253193039873 following that rabbit hole leads to some low-key alt-right twitter accounts. intertwined with various racist memes and such, content also had: - an emphasis on nature shots + especially flowers - another emphasis on rural/pastoral living - surface level/pop history focused on folk minutiae and pictures of statues but the thing is that the proportion of people actually living in rural areas has declined dramatically since the 50s -- something like 80% of the population lives in urban areas. additionally very little of the content was original (with the exception of the close-shot of flowers), most of it being stock photos or obviously set up shots. so i suspect most of this stuff is vicarious. I have a strong suspicion that a lot of these guys are either current of former environmentalists Syd Midnight posted:what the gently caress is this and what will it look like when they're all in their 50s and 60s?

the flower symbology was interesting, because it by far made up most of the 'nature' content, more than I suspected. It may represent social darwinism, or play into the idea of a nation as spontaneously generating itself from the soil, or meant to be in direct contrast to and therefore a rejection of modernity. but i'm not sure which is dominant.

the spartans would have been best known for their massive slave economy that, even by the standards of the time, was absolutely brutal and extensive (and considering how gung-ho the ancient greeks were for slaves, that is especially incriminating). it's image as a militaristic state followed logically from the necessity of the ever-present threat of slave revolts - there was something like 7 helots per spartan, and spartans were banned from doing actual labor, being trained from birth to become soldiers (and periodically killed slaves).
