A question to you /hi/: Why do so many idiots think Che Guevara is some kind of great guy and freedom fighter?
Every time I see someone wearing a T-shirt with his face on it I rage.

No, you, are, retarded. That's not how the voting system works at all. The people elect the president, the reason popular vote dosen't win is because in the countries that the losing canidate wins in, they win by a lot, and when they loose they loose by only a little. For example, if president A gets all states except vermont by ONE vote in each state, and then president B gets all the people in vermont, president A will win. Please get your facts straight :/

American internment of Japanese during World War II: Just or Unjust?

>> No. 2994

No its becouse the German and Italian's were foreign born, while the Japanese were here a hundred years before my Irish people were. And still they were put in consentration camps. Google the 442 Infantry Reg. the nisei soldiers, and read about what the Japanese did for America during WWII. America really fucked up.
>> No. 3005
Should have never been done. It was a complete violation of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. It was also inherently racist - watch some of the war films/cartoons of the time. TONS of negative Japanese stereotypes, not much German or Italian ones. Yes, the Japanese attacked us first, but as stated above, U-Boats destroyed many ships and claimed lives.
>> No. 3008
Just so yall know most of the Germans/Italians Weren't foriegn born. BTW the main part of German immigration to America was in the 1850's. the more ya know.

hey /hi/, gotta question.

I know, in hindsight, it's easy to recognize napolean as a relatively positive social revolutionary - much of the west has adopted many of his ideals. but at the time, why did he himself, and all the historians who followed (immediately and to this day) consider him the "son of the revolution"? A teacher asked me this, and I felt really, really dumb not being able to give a swift, coherent answer. I bullshitted in front of the class like an asshole and like a lot of shitty teachers he didn't offer much clarification- what are your thoughts?

tl;dr why is/was napolean considered the son of the revolution?

He took a nation that had been butt fucked by radical revolutionaries and backwards monarchists, and prototyped the working nationalist model all the while virtually embodying the revolutionary spirit by systematically handing all of his opponents their own ass after he kicked it so hard it fell off (until he decided to fight Russia, the retarded kid in the playground).

However, he also had some things that didn't work, like the continental system. However, history turns a blind eye towards these failures usually because, after being exiled, he came BACK and lived shit up for 100 more days until everyone threw him out again.

He was pro-USA, probably a bit antsy from being on a British prison ship.

I want to know your honest opinion of Canada, the things that in your view we have done wrong, not necessarily bad things, but poorly handled and mismanaged things. Also, how do the Canadian public strike you?
22 posts omitted. Click Reply to view.

Things we have done wrong: for starters told boat load of jews who had escaped nazi germany to go fuck themselves and sent them back. We also sent our native population to "correctional schools" where they had the native beat out of them. Stiking was a crime punishable by death untill the 30's.... seriously a lot of fucked up shit was done by our government back in the day. Today too. We're just irrelevant so no one notices.

Power equals responsibility, you massive retard, how can you not understand that?
>> No. 3001

To elaborate, Israel has the power to end the situation as it is immediately. Palistinians do not recognise the legitimacy of Israel, but they can tolerate it's existance provided that it ceases to expand into Palestine and exterminate it's population.

Hamas is a red herring, the Palestinians will always protest with violence JUST LIKE AMERICANS WOULD AND MAINTAIN THE MORAL HIGHGROUND. Unfortunately, Palestinians are brown, so their freedom fighters are terrorists and they are expected to sit idly by as their family is murdered around them. The movers and shakers of Israeli policy are scum who do not recognise human rights. The only influential countries (with access to relevant information) who believe that Israel is not a violator of humans rights are America and Israel.

And just to make sure that you abandon your shitty strawman:

>>Power equals immorality huh?
Never stated.
>>powerlessness equals morality?
Never stated.
>>It's legal to shoot unguided ballistic missiles into cities
Never stated.

And to answer your final question - I'd feel bad, but I'd sure as hell prefer it to being Palestinian. Better to have a 1 in 10,000 chance of being hit by fragments of an explosion than to have a vast military intent on my death and occupying my immediate territory.

Money is just a concept. As >>2972 put it (not directly) money isn't worth shit if material isn't backing it up.

So, really, we ARE a resource based economy, and money is just the easy and socially accepted way to get around having to take a cart load of oats with you to the store to buy a tampon.

To put a point to that, think of what happens to the value of Bread when it gets over produced. It goes down. The money isn't worth more, the material bread is worth less. The money now buys more bread than it did because there is a direct relation to there being more bread than there was, and, since the money had to be earned somehow, that earning as an action of selling, working, or money changing had an equitable societal value to that specific ammount of bread, which is now worth less.

I think it would only work if we had a working credit system like in startrek which I think OP was referring to, without currency the credit industry would have to streamline everything as to not choke on thier own redtape and die a horrible cancerous death, the idea itself was coined by mr roddenbury as a system of perfect credit where one could easily use imaginary credits based off of work perfomance and job status but that would be seen as communist and would take a near apocalyptic event to even be thought of by everyday companies and governments now.

I think too many people see the American Revolution from a distance as oppressed against oppressors. Remember, many, if not a majority of citizens of 13 colonies supported the Crown. Americans were technically British, suffering no greater hardship than those in the homeland

America is already dead Karl. What you're trying to protect is the antithesis of what the spirit of America was. It's people like YOU that killed it. Freedom is more important than patriotism.
