@GladesofGreen@natalia55762464@wardinpal So was Latin. Doesn't change the fact that both have been dead languages for hundreds of years.
Muslims have a connection to Classical Arabic; Christians to Latin, Koine Greek, Slavonic, etc. The existence of liturgical languages has no bearing on the development of living ones.
@0xLiveB33f@GladesofGreen@natalia55762464@wardinpal I don't want to litigate the logic of a 90s adventure movie, but he is right. Let's ignore that the mummy apparently lived during the reign of Seti I, a period when Hebrew wasn't a distinct language, implying Modern Hebrew *in spoken form* would be recognizable is ludicrous.
@GladesofGreen@natalia55762464@wardinpal Every language is an "invention." The contention is that there is no organic tie (an unbroken chain of native speakers) between Biblical Hebrew and Modern Hebrew, which is indisputable.
@TheocharousH@StopAntisemites That's a misleading translation. "dava" does not mean war but rather a cause, a principle. Also, one cannot translate "Kahrolsun İsrail!" (lit. "Israel be damned!") as "Death to Israel!" without ill intention. A neutral rendering would be "Down with Israel!".
@ReneLevesquia @camvil5 @JUNlPER I think a civilian population being armed would create a meaningful difference only in local conflicts such as armed labor disputes. At that point, however, we're not talking about revolutions.
@ReneLevesquia @camvil5 @JUNlPER True enough. But the firepower of the people will always be inferior to military-grade arms, and if we're talking about a revolution, mutinies by the armed forces rather than the personal weapons of civilians will precipitate the raising of revolutionary militias.
@ReneLevesquia @camvil5 @JUNlPER By taking over barracks/armories and outfitting the working class with arms and ammunition. Like almost every revolutionary militia in history.
@GopackMat@Saahr_Zand@meatwithdreams@shaun_vids His series on the English Civil War was great tho. I think it has to do with the American Revolution not being revolutionary enough.
As in the words of Robespierre, "Citizens, did you want a revolution without a revolution?".
@Avaloncalibur @PepiLeMoko@notreallykraut Not really https://t.co/31pMAibnc1 Lat. "sclavus" to Old Fr. "sclave" to Eng. "slave". The same goes for the word "Slav".
@Avaloncalibur @PepiLeMoko@notreallykraut We still call a whole group of peoples slaves. Where do you think the name "slav" comes from? (well, the etymological connection is reverse but still)
@MartyrD18@ianjustchill@dalaisaruul @herb_koster @Gangstamonkey21 @marxistkriolist @SimioZapatista Khan is literally the nomadic equivalent of the title "king" by this logic, every single ruler was deified because they were called king.
@jealous_are @Rmweav @helo_navy@LackingSaint Hiroshima was the headquarters of 2nd general army and a center of war industry. Nagasaki had massive naval dockyards making both strategical targets. Not claiming it makes civilian deaths justified it is as unjustified as conventional bombings.
@jealous_are @Rmweav @helo_navy@LackingSaint I fail to see the difference between advocating for leaving Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan be.
Negotiating with the emperor is easier than his warmongering military staff and the emperor would flee his palace if an aproaching bomber is detected making imperial palace a bad target
@Rmweav @helo_navy@LackingSaint Don't get me wrong if a socialist nation that US militarily intervened could force US to be more egalitarian and less interventionalist by military means that would be dope but the absence of a total war makes it harder to justify.
@Rmweav @helo_navy@LackingSaint Did i miss a genocidal war between US and Canada or did US started a total war against China in the hopes of world conquest ?
