>>2283 I've read that 1.3:1 irreplaceable casualty ratio is also what US and British forces had fighting against Germany.

>>2451 Where did you see that?

Post some more Wehraboo arguments and get to debunking them!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrKDBFJoo2w&ab_channel=USNationalArchives Some archive documentaries Also can anyone help me find an old documentary about Nazi atrocities? I remember it distinctly because among the footage used were filmed portions of Belarus villages and a literal piles of baby corpses torched alive by the nazi scum.

I'm jelly of first worlders, they can get books for so cheap. Everything here is expensive, even used books in tatters.

Does that mean the Penguin classics catalog will get bigger?

>>6061 They should burn all the Chodehouse books if they are going. Chodehouse is baby crap. I don't read it and I don't need it shoved down my fucking throat cause manbaby will pee pee his pants if you don't read it.

>>6142 >shopindie unfortunate word choice

I truly can't stand hearing about Chodehouse. Try talking about something I actually care about. Even just one page. Everyone here backs me up too. They don't want to hear some fat geek recite his favorite Chodehouse gags. Try to read and discuss somethin I fucking care about. Chodehouse peeves me off to no end.

In a way, going to the future is possible if you move at relativistic speeds. Going to the past would require moving at above the speed of light.

>>1796 >>1808 Why?

>>1786 worst movie plot

>>1816 Here's not much better.

>>1787 This is the plot of Steins;Gate.

In the 1930s a party member called Gorbachev was executed during the great purge

The Camera was invented simultaneously by three different people at the same time in the 1830s without any of them having been aware of one another's work. Hércules Florence, in Brazil, in 1832 Daguerre & Niépce, in France, in the 1820s-30s (they were partners, and had both created proto-photographs independently, but it wasn't until their later collaboration that led to the Daguerreotype in 1834-6) Henry Fox Talbot, in Britain, in 1834

the Spanish civil war ended on the first of April, please tell me the national victory was just a joke, we actually won right?

>>83 Night 272 of the Arabian Nights includes a brief tale relating to the fall of Toledo in Spain. It is said that the monarchs of the city kept a room in the tower locked but the last king decided to open it. Inside he found pictures of Arab soldiers and a note saying that the city would fall to Islam were the room ever opened. This supposedly happened in 711, the year Toledo fell.

>>303 *laugh track*

>>6078 >Price Ceiling regulations. Doesn't this just lead to black markets?

>>6183 No, not really, since a price ceiling means that there is a limit to how much something can inflate in price and therefore wages won't be made worthless if prices rise.

>>6184 If something gets price-capped and runs out of stock your only way of getting it is more expensively through other means behind the government's back.

>>6185 Not this argument again. 1 - this implies that it wouldn't have the same thing occur should stock prices not be capped and therefore inflate massively, resulting in the same thing 2 - this implies that capitalist over-production isn't wasteful already and doesn't produce more than enough for everyone.

>>6186 This year alone should be evidence enough that what I said would happen.

I'm terminally succinct. I always make my point quickly, I remember a few teachers back in high school remarking how I was able to convey concepts with few words. I don't think I could ever write a (non-fiction) novel.

>>5901 kek case in point

>>4070 /thread

>>5663 also /thread

You can put stuff on leftypedia, that would be an effort post that will last

>>5622 Hardcover is better because the book is far less likely to get torn or the cover itself wear out. Paperback books are known to be cheap because they're shoddy 90% of the time.

>>5622 >>5624 Adding to this I'd also get a hardcover if it's a reference work that you're going to be opening often.

>>5582 Ok, but Realtalk. I was planning on ordering some Cockshott to read it in physical, but this whole "will be put on a List" is worriesome

>>5628 tbh cockshott is very low risk. It's basically all computer science, maths, planned economy shit, as opposed to 'let's kill and maim every land owner' and so on

me too anon. used bookstores/op shops are great, and if your area has based unions they occasionally have some prole literature.

>>6125 >Can you name a single less natural thing than democracy? NTA, but bees and ants make decisions "democratically", unless you consider bee and ant colonies as a single organism.

>>5896 >>5897 Still haven't found it in my archives but it may be in this book someone just posted on /leftypol/

>>6134 I made that and no, that is just a single forum discussion about ecology (it's posted in the OP). Good to see it getting reposted however. >>6133 But it's not the concept of democracy that we have. That 'everyone should get their say', you know? What we see as democracy is just a way of running a hive that is effective at not leading to the death of the species, democracy as we know it is a complete rejection of the social order, of kings and queens, of tribe leaders and so on. I guess what I mean is the idea we should strive for some level equality is completely bizarre for nature, where disease runs rampant and food chains of constant death cannot be escaped.

>>6117 >I'm fully fucking aware of the extremely basic concept that our biology is complicated. This is painfully obvious to every human alive. But are you going to sit there, in a world we have irradicated diseases with labor, with buildings hundreds of metres tall, dude we've been to the MOON. Does the concept of destroying all animals slowly really sound that crazy? Or creating cyborgs? I'm not saying it's desirable, the point is that doesn't matter Those accomplishments only blow your mind largely due to your ignorance of science.

>>6151 I guarantee I'm far more rigorously qualified from a better university than you are. The point is these things SOUND absurd to anyone not with our level of knowledge. Imagine 200 years ago and telling someone of the technology we have today. The sheer arrogance and ignorance it takes to declare some arbitrary thing 'really hard' means nothing to humans. It doesn't matter if you think it's personally very difficult to do things that would serve humanity, humanity will do them anyway. Of course I know that the literal process of getting to the moon isn't 'insanely complicated', but the course of technology that needed to occur to allow this to happen, when you compare it to the most grand achievement of a dolphin or something -like dude my background is maths/physics I'm not ignorant here- ITS FUCKING BONKERS. We left our planet!!! Who knows of the possibilities the future holds for us? Certainly not random anonymous pseud number 6151
