Great Leap Forward had a death rate of 25.4:1000, putting it barely above India at the time in excess deaths.China's death rate BEFORE Mao though was estimated to be around 49:1000.Mao lowered Death Rates down to 10.8:1000. Also lowered Child Mortality from functionally 3/10 kids to 0.5/10 kids.Also the idea Dikotter had access to Chinese archival information lmao, China isn't as stupid as Gorbachevs USSR, it doesn't let Anti-Communist activists access to their archives.The actual Chinese archival information released put the death rate of the Great Leap Forward at 25.4:1000. Which does not count to 45 million deaths. If you want to calculate deaths likely caused by the GLF, it's 7.2 million, you do this from subtracting China's average death rate under Mao (10.8:1000) from 25.4:1000.7.2 million is of course a big number, but again, not out of the norm for developing countries at the time if you actually look at the wider statistical numbers. The reason it's so big is because China's population is so insanely massive. If a country has a excess mortality rate of 500:1000 but only has 10000 people, then that is only 5000 deaths, despite actually being a more terribly run country.Death counts of 45 million+ are not actually deaths, but statistical trickery where the actual claim is based on projected growth rates. The claim is actually 45 million more people would exist (projected forward), if the GLF didn't happen, not that it killed 45 million people.

Why did every civilization that had access to elephants insist on using war elephants when they pretty much always sucked?
>>18586802African bush/forest elephants are impossible to tame, you don't see them in circuses either. North Africa had access to North African elephants, which are extinct today, but they also kind of sucked, even the Carthaginians preferred importing Asian elephants from India.
because its cool/thread
>>18586826The sub-saharian variety of elephants are not tameable. All the war elephants were either indian elephants or the now-extinct north african subspecies
>>18589091>>18589220What makes them impossible to tame?
>>18586766Where Hannibal and Pyrrhus won battles, the elephants were placed between the infantry and the cavalry on the flanks to help protect the infantry from enemy cavalry. They do seem to have been useful in this role.The mistake was in using them as living battering rams to break enemy formations, which no doubt appeals to the imagination of a 12 year old boy, but in practice these fantasies never panned out.

How come America spoiled Japan and Germany so much in the years after world war 2? especially with the way Japan treated our own soldiers and other innocents, they never got punished or faced accountability for it. Yet we spoiled them just because the threat of communism was slightly next door, yet we didn't extend any of this grace to our actual allies in places like South America or Eurasia. to help them develop in infrastructure
>>18587025> yet we didn't extend any of this grace to our actual allies in places like South America >”our”
>>18587025The whole lot of American imperialists should have been shot on the spot and it would have been just compensation for their massacres of the people of the Philippines. Americans had no issues with their army marching through villages and ordering every Filipino over the age of 10 killed in 1901, but as soon as they were treated with anything less than worshipful deference by the Japanese they started sobbing about war crimes like the filthy rats they were. MacArthur blatantly rigged Gen. Homma's case because he was a retarded egotist who couldn't stand the fact that he had been defeated.
>>18587894And yet Flips and Japs alike both love American BWC. Curious
>>18587894>Had no issueExcept that order was largely disobeyed and the general in question was court martialed, because the Americans did in fact have an issue with it.
>>18587894Nobody cares about shitskinned gooks, who should've been genocided out of existence by the spaniards before americans came. 2 nukes weren't and never will be enough btw.
the existnece of aliens would pose a much bigger problem to Christianity than to Islam or Judaism. because Islam and Judaism strictyl forbid depicting God while Christainity teaches God incarantes as a human and IS a human.
>>18588557So every Jew and Christian today is Muslim then?
>>18587187Unfortunately God is a nice cope and I wouldn't have any problem with it if it wasn't such a bad model. You can tell God is a cope because it fits DIRECTLY like paint by numbers on lacans graph of desire. In other words all religion is just a consequence of being structured by language, because it is like the wagon wheels that go over mud over and over and over again until there is a clear path. Christianity in particular is so sticky because it is a nice generator of meaning, structurally I mean. It's a nice engine for meaning, suffering has meaning, you are in a intergalactic spiritual war against demons, you get to go to the "best place ever TM" forever because the only way you can get there is if you die. God stands in for the big other etc etc etc. Sure u can out apologetic me because I'm a retard but it's extremely self apparent once you juxtapose Christianity with lacan's graph of desire it makes it simple and a child like cope and it's extremely clear. I would say the most useful "religion" is going to be non denominational zen Buddhist with an emphasis on only zazen and breath meditation, taking it as a complete act, no sanga no bullshit. Just meditation. Oh and weight lifting / cardio

Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."Sodomy is disgusting, masturbation, threesome, porn, bdsm,... Are all fucking puke inducing.

>>18587108Oh he definitely wishes he could participate, he seethes about the fact that not doing so isn't a choice for him, he's simply undesirable to women and has to reframe that into pretending it was a moral choice on his part.
>>18588884ancient Greek philosophers are venerated because they're old not because they were necessarily smart. i mean, Plato was kind of a moron. i'm mentioning this so you think it's not solely the Bible i'm criticizing.
>>18587103>There is something deeply repulsive ABOUT sexual degeneracy"The emotion of disgust evolved initially to optimize responses to the omnivore’s dilemma.Individuals who had a properly calibrated sense of disgust were able to consume more calories than their overly disgustable cousins while consuming fewer dangerous microbes than their insufficiently disgustable cousins. But it’s not just food that posed a threat: when early hominids came down from the trees and began living in larger groups on the ground, they greatly increased their risk of infection from each other, and from each other’s waste products. The psychologist Mark Schaller has shown that disgust is part of what he calls the “behavioral immune system”—a set of cognitive modules that are triggered by signs of infection or disease in other people and that make you want to get away from those people. It’s a lot more effective to prevent infection by washing your food, casting out lepers, or simply avoiding dirty people than it is to let the microbes into your body and then hope that your biological immune system can kill every last one of them.""The Sanctity foundation makes it easy for us to regard some things as “untouchable,” both in a bad way (because something is so dirty or polluted we want to stay away) and in a good way (because something is so hallowed, so sacred, that we want to protect it from desecration). If we had no sense of disgust, I believe we would also have no sense of the sacred. And if you think, as I do, that one of the greatest unsolved mysteries is how people ever came together to form large cooperative societies, then you might take a special interest in the psychology of sacredness. Why do people so readily treat objects (flags, crosses), places (Mecca), people (saints, heroes), and principles (liberty, fraternity, equality) as though they were of infinite value?"

if you could go back in timeand see historical everyday people in the medieval era, or the ancient roman era.How different would their mannerisms be? I'm not talking about language. More like their facial ticks. I heard Romans, when they spoke, they gesticulated a lot. In very exaggerated ways. The ind of stuff that nobody really writes about except modern purple prose writers. But ancient writers didn't describe much about sutle mannerisms.If you could go back in time, and see it, would their mannerisms look very alien?
>>18588726And to elaborate further on Roman gesticulation. They would move their hands exaggerated constantly, and even gesticulate with their whole bodies. They had so many gesticulations, it could work as essentially sign language. They probably had to do that a lot when interacting with other peoples that didn't speak Latin.
>>18588726>>18588729>I heard Romans, when they spoke, they gesticulated a lot. In very exaggerated ways. >They would move their hands exaggerated constantly, and even gesticulate with their whole bodies. They had so many gesticulations, it could work as essentially sign language. You can see this in real life today. You just have to go to Staten Island, find a group of people and ask one of them what the best Pizza place is.

Michael Jackson was 100% guilty. A child victim acurately described a mark on MJ's groin, among other things. The fact that he was never convicted doesn't prove anything since he was rich. People using that as a cope never seem to mention OJ who also was not convicted, but is believed to be guilty (he was).

The Bible contains Jesus' teachings, but also the disciples' memories, interpretations, translations, and editorial changes. Many biblical ideas have been misunderstood or distorted over time. We have to restore the inner meaning of Jesus' message rather than repeat its literal wording.
