I mean, the country we invaded asked us to stay longer because they dreaded the chaos that would be caused by the power vacuum, therefore we were right to invade and should have stayed forever, that doesn't sound like imperialism or anything like Bush's "We'll stand down when Iraqis stand up" to me

PhilippAchtel posted:What exactly does this dope think the political climate was leading up to his buddy's New Deal plan anyway? Force or threat of force is historically the only hing that breaks the power of the ruling class, if only for a generation or two. FDR just did the New Deal out of the goodness of his heart because he was that smart and wise. That's why you need to keep quiet and wait patiently, because Uncle Joe is also smart and wise and will do good things eventually if you just give him time.

Penisaurus Sex posted:Nixon finally got an answer when he kept asking Helms about 'that bay of pigs thing' and the answer was not what he wanted to hear. Vernon A. Walters, as CIA director, wrote a memo to the Watergate committee informing them that the President was complicit in a cover-up, and that evidence of the cover-up was captured in tapes. He did this before Congress even knew what Nixon's crime was, and before they even knew that the White House taping system existed.

Atrocious Joe posted:a bunch of good reforms were passed under Nixon because domestic pressure was so intense. To the point where there were literally urban guerrillas and regular bombings across the US. Granted, those guerrillas were mostly ineffective, but it shows how raucous the political scene at the time had become. he didn’t give a poo poo about domestic stuff. everything he did was due to pressure according to Rick pearlstein’s books

This makes me wonder what the cultural impact of the CCC was in the 30s. The last I heard of the ARP from actual people was someone saying they got their money finally months ago, I have to imagine people talked about the CCC or the TVA as real existing things they could join if they didn't have a job or their job sucked.

Yeah I don't have the historical knowledge to know the immediate cultural impact of the New Deal but for all the insane hype about the ARP when it passed even the Democrats seem to have largely forgotten it while I have never heard it mentioned by anyone outside the internet. Honestly I think the better way to message it would have been more honest about what it did and push that consistently rather than get the Washington Post to write ridiculous headlines about a result it could never meet with a one time check and a tax credit than anyone not in the Democrat's fanbase could tell was absurd.

gradenko_2000 posted:Unix but pronounced like latinx That's already how I pronounce latinx, though. It confuses me why anyone would see that word and not think "latina/latino, but say 'ix' at the end instead." Though it's super funny if the most common pronunciation is actually "latin-x," since that sounds even less like the original terms it's supposed to be based off of.

spacetoaster posted:Pretty sure the poor, and minority, people who had to fight in that war aren't the people you're wanting dead. Most of the troops who died in Vietnam were white men who voluntarily joined the Army. You saw more black KIA in combat arms than in previous wars since black men were not allowed in combat roles starting with WWI. Draftees vs. volunteers: 25% (648,500) of total forces in country were draftees. (66% of U.S. armed forces members were drafted during WWII) Draftees accounted for 30.4% (17,725) of combat deaths in Vietnam. Ethnic background: 88.4% of the men who actually served in Vietnam were Caucasian, 10.6% (275,000) were black, 1.0% belonged to other races 86.3% of the men who died in Vietnam were Caucasian (including Hispanics) 12.5% (7,241) were black. 1.2% belonged to other races
