@Luckyioo @cremieuxrecueil Lmao, so your argument has now become “the war was good for Japan because in their total defeat they ended up becoming a constitutional democracy and that was better anyway.”

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@Luckyioo @cremieuxrecueil You seem to just not have an argument left. Just as well, I think the record speaks for itself. Anyone can see that Japan couldn’t even effectively occupy the territory it took in China. If they had just retreated back to the prewar Manchukuo borders there wouldve been no embargo

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@Luckyioo @cremieuxrecueil You could make the argument that Hirohito risked being deposed in a military coup if he did that but the risk to Japan was far greater going the route they actually went, which was of course attacking the US and European powers

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@Luckyioo @cremieuxrecueil I don’t know what to tell you, acting as if it wasn’t possible for Japan to simply pull back to the prewar Manchukuo borders is just delusional. Not only was it possible, it would’ve been much more strategically sound than what they actually did, which was overextend even further

@elonmusk Lots of things to object to here, but the first question that comes to mind is how could enfranchising more people mean the end of democracy? It just seems like you don’t really know what words mean

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@Luckyioo @cremieuxrecueil Right, asking them to pull back to Manchuria was simply ridiculous! they simply *had* to invade China, in order to protect their occupation of Manchuria, which they needed to take in order to protect the domination of Korea, which they needed…
We’re going to play this game?

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@Luckyioo @cremieuxrecueil The second sentence stands in direct contradiction to what you said, actually. Wanting to put a halt to Japan’s war is not the same as wanting to destroy them

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@Luckyioo @cremieuxrecueil When did he say that?
His goal was to stop Japan’s war in China

@MangyJungleBird @yhdistyminen Why

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@JoePostingg I mean yeah Sicario and Hell or High Water are not even chudslop

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@esteban2ton @TrueSlazac It’s always weird seeing their name spelled like that knowing that it’s just the creole version of “vive ensemble”

@blackphilled @LinkofSunshine Tbf most people can’t, that’s why Engels recommended people start on Chapter 6

@ProjectLiberal Assimilation is a meaningless word, it’s a cudgel used to try and get people to conform to the lifestyle you would like them to live, to give force to your personal standards that lie beyond what is actually required of them by the law. You say “assimilate” I say “no thank you”

@JoePostingg I don’t think Ossoff is stupid

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@WhiteArmy___ @cremieuxrecueil It’s because surrendering was akin to social death
In other societies where surrender was associated with being shunned by your family and the rest of society soldiers generally fought to the death too

First time?

@inerati It’s considered kind of a puzzle because we know it happens (think Uber back before they raised prices and began actually turning a profit) but every widely accepted economic model says it’s strictly irrational and shouldn’t happen

[Chesterton Fence Demolition Co @NewChesFenDemCo]

@MariGO2thepolls Nah its fine we can work with somebody like that
The main raison detre for reddit atheism in the first place was most religions’ abhorrent social teachings, if your personal religion is just about loving thy neighbor and you don’t care what they do with their lives that’s chill

@MagnusFide @MariGO2thepolls If it doesn’t interfere with your life or the lives of your friends and family then you’re not an alcoholic, plain and simple

@nicksterwixter @FeserEdward It’s kind of just a sad answer honestly
The guy’s sense of self is just so inflated that he can’t let any perceived personal slight against him go
For what it’s worth I do think he’s being honest here and that at least is commendable
