You won't get a reasonable argument defending these actions, rather you are just getting called a dumb nigger for not understanding how much winning is happening right now.
You never replied to me you retarded niggerfaggot. Tell me, if you believe tariffs won't work, then what will achieve the goal of reshoring industry? We know subsidies won't work, Biden gave it his dementia best, and the money only ended up funneled to DIE and wokeshit, direct government investment is only asking for trouble later down the line both with the workers (look at the Fed thread for how it's soooo bad to fire the useless fed employees). Then what remains? Doomposting and sucking the Chinese 3incher? I'd rather die than do that.
Give me liberty or give me death bitch

this is why we need H1b. clearly null spent too much time playing football and watching boy meets world and not enough time studying coding. (:_(
It would he a nice April fools joke to make Kiwi Farms Vindaloo Farms with Indian themed stickers and the Islamic Content sticker renamed "YOU ARE PAKISTANI YOU FUCKING BENCHOAD BITCH"
 
WW2 gets more focus because muh 6 gorillion provides a much more clear-cut bad guy to rally against. WW1 is a lot murkier to normies.
The politics of WWI are difficult to understand without knowing much about European royal families and empires, German unification, the decline of the Ottomans, and trouble in the Balkans. WWII is a lot more straightforward.

My favorite part is how Russians were like “rah put three million dudes on trains to go fight Germans!”

And then the Germans killed all of them and then Nicholas was like “ah do it again” and they did, and then he was like “fine I’ll go myself”
 
Did kiwifarms receive funds from USAID? Are we kill?
Nah we’re bullying Liz Dong Gone’s employee Becky in the Beauty Parlor by laughing about her performative (and blasphemous) Judaism, her neglect of her Minecraft brick-headed baby, and how her second cuck Daniel the Krautslug finally found his sack and is leaving her “and their joint husband.”

When I saw the broken site page last night, I assumed that Becky was finally able to elicit a crumb of response from the broken branch brickhead himself to distract us for a while. But I’m just a conspiracy-minded bitch posting hot takes and for all I know maybe Null dropped a brick of the good cheese on the big red button or something and it was all an oopsie.
 
WW1 was the last major war of older times, and the first major war of this modern world.
WW2 could just easily be the threshold war between eras. Before WW1, some modern weaponry (zeppelins, submarines, ironclads) had already seen usage, and after WW1, the colonial world order was still intact, and the cultures of Europe had not been alienated from their former selves (with the exception of Russia)

After WW2, decolonization began, nuclear weapons presented a bigger change to warfare than any of the inventions used in WW1, and the complete cultural transformation of all involved nations began at extreme speed. Moreover, WW2 is the single biggest cultural and political touchstone of the entire world for the 80+ years thereafter. I think it would be reasonable to claim that the entire present world is still just the aftermath of WW2 at some level.
 
Marx was a lazy asshole who was stealing ideas from other people. If it wasn't Marx it would have been some other sociopath who fundamentally didn't understand human beings and thought they knew how everyone should live their lives better than they did.

Marx wasn't well regarded or someone taken all that seriously by contemporary socialists. I forget who had done, it but someone went back to look at citations of his work and he was a nobody until the Soviet Union catapulted him to prominence. The Russians who formed the Soviet Union and implemented Marxist policies were also bourgeois assholes that came from money and claimed to advocate on behalf of the workers.

Why they chose Marx may just be a matter of chance, but I suspect they sensed a kindred worthless soul in Marx. I also believe that the lack of coherent policy lets the midwits that revere Marx fill in the blanks themselves and not have to care too much about it as it lead to the promised socialist paradise. It's more akin to a religious text that proposes heaven on earth instead of as part of some next life.

The politics of WWI are difficult to understand without knowing much about European royal families and empires, German unification, the decline of the Ottomans, and trouble in the Balkans. WWII is a lot more straightforward.

I think the explanation is much simpler than that. The USA wasn't as involved in WWI, but was involved in both major theaters of WWII. Of course we're going to be more interested in something we were not only involved in, but were instrumental in winning. The weapons it was fought with also make it more interesting as WWI devolved into trench warfare as military tactics hadn't quite caught up with technological advances yet. By WWII there were significant advances in armored vehicles, airplanes, naval vessels, and weapons. By the end of the war atomic weapons had been developed and used to devastating effect. WWII is the big Hollywood sequel to the well made budget film that was WWI.

Engels really was the main guy and Marx was his Vito or Gator. Marx was mainly known for his understanding of capitalism right? even my pubic school noted he was most famous for das capital and he never really moved on from the very basics of politics. its like if the Sugarhill Gang still rapped today with that same "Hip hop you don't stop" lyrics.

No, sorry, the First World War was clearly the shifting point between eras. It was the end of world order established by the Congress of Vienna, which lasted a century. It established the world led by the United States, which was the only country to come out of it better off than it entered. The causes of the Second World War are found directly as consequences of the first.

If you want to say that the Second World War was the means by which that era accelerated towards its peak, then I think you'd have a point.
