So you deny both the Armenian genocide AND the Nazi holocaust? Aren’t you the conspiracist little asshole.

Holocaust happened, Armenians were in an uprising during the First World War abd aided the Russians and were deported.

This is the first time I've heard of Greece demanding money from Iran but not the first time I've heard of them not realizing it's 2018.

#6 I like how the people who claim the Confederacy just wanted states' rights are the same who vote against modern states' rights bills.
BrockEffingSamson
And ignore that the South HATED that NY wanted the right to free slaves that were brought along on shopping and theater trips.
FuckMeThenYou
what modern state rights bill?
magicrhombus
I'm guessing this is either about the war on drugs, or the "religious freedom" thing.
LiterallyYourMom
See also: Pai on state level net neutrality, Sessions wanting to prosecute for marijuana in states where it's legal, etc.
armagetz
What? I share some of your frustrations, but are you suggesting actions over a century later have ANYTHING to do with motivations then?
LiterallyYourMom
I'm talking about modern people in both cases.
armagetz
Again, there isn’t an implicit inconsistency. Current cultural perspectives or mores don’t apply to history retroactively.
armagetz
Shockingly enough, you can talk about history without your current perspectives and actions being involved.
armagetz
And the reason why? Circumstances are different. State’s rights have been essentially nonexistent since Wickard v. Filburn.
LiterallyYourMom
I'm talking about modern people who still currently support the Confederacy and its values. Not sure what you think I mean.

UnknownSquid
Normally the misconception between the quality of the iron ore vs the quality of the resulting product. People often mix them up.
WeirdOnions
And without knowing there’s a difference in ore quality, folding and folding the steel might seem like the way to go at face value.
UnknownSquid
Well yeah, that's the entire reason they folded it, to refine the metal. It just took vastly more effort to eventually get an equal result.
UnknownSquid
2) Which is also one small side aspect of where Katana's got their mystical status from, since the quality divide between a peasants weapons
SomeCrazyNerd
Actually Aten was probably a good before just a minor deific personification of something usually under other gods.

Communism in Russia has nothing to do with what the term Socialism means.
RackhamTheRed
I'm pretty sure a lot of all-out capitalists say "this isn't real capitalism" every financial crisis. you guys should be friends
RPCharImages
I am 100% that while what happened isn't what Socialism is meant to be, I'm also 100% sure thats how it'll ends up whenever we try.
Invada
In Scandinavia, we have a mix of socialism and capitalism (simplified). It works fine. Don't believe the bullshit of Fox News. They are..
Invada
.. trying to scare you. E.g the reason why Venezuela is failing, isn't because of socialism, it's because of corruption, dictatorship and..
Invada
.. indifference to the people.

Oh no, I'm english, Fox News don't mean shit to me XD Im behind the idea of socilism keeping capitalism in check and vis versa. Too much of-
RPCharImages
-a good thing is bad for you, on the face of it communism, capitalism and socialism arent inherently bad, but on their own, they almost -

-provide the opening for some really shitty people to take over or really bad pactises to take root.

It's an old soviet flag.
beardedbeerdeer
It was most likely supposed to be depicting USSR, but the author accidentally used some modern edit of the flag. Never seen it anywhere.
Asteroidrules
Honestly not having a real flag is kinda smart since it can represent all the eastern bloc's genocides in one.

era in japan when the emporer closed off trade to prevent the spread of christianity and protect the standing shinto religion
Housemaster
I highly recommend the recent movie "Silence" for a pretty good recreation of that era. Exhausting to watch, but mesmerizing.
NightGridRunner
And it's got Kylo Ren, Spider-Man, and Qui-Gon Jinn in it! Highly recommended.

You're thinking of Chyna, and even then that's not completely true
Ihadsexwithadragonlastnight
forgot the emporers name, but it was ultimately a major setback as far as development for japan
jaehoony
Tokugawa Shogunate aka Edo Period was over 265 years and 15 shoguns. And calling it "setback" is hindsight oriented oversimplification.
jaehoony
2) Because it was very stable and prosperous era in terms of economy and population growth since entire country stopped fighting each other.
Ihadsexwithadragonlastnight
but it was also controlling, not tolerant of religion, and once borders opened their econ was unbalanced by the change of the gold standard
konbinigeisha
This is untrue. Jaehoony is 100% right. The sakoku wasn't entirely culturally or religiously motivated either.
konbinigeisha
Also Buddhism was the official religion so... shintoism as a religion didn't exist yet. Was more like local folk beliefs and animism.
