The “weak and strong” thing nazis do with Jewish people has always been one of the most ridiculous square circles imo.

They’re, apparently, weak, bad, lower, undesirable etc. As such, they should be killed to allow the master race to take charge of everything.

However, apparently, Jewish people are also in charge of all the banks, all the governments and every institution, other than nazi approved ones, as well as being in charge of everything. Ruling from the shadows.

However, by their own logic, that would make the Jews the master race.

Maybe a shot of insulin, from the sounds of it.

Facsism is just capitalism when you try to say no.

Understandably, workers didn’t like capitalism. So, when they found out about socialism, many of them grouped up and tried to say no. After which, facsism was made to counter this.

So, I mean literally fascism is just capitalism when you try to say no. You only get mercan staal neo classical economics because you say yes.

Outside of small city states, capitalism came from merchantislism.

Specifically, at the intersection where merchantislism and mass dispossession/theft of people’s land meet.

The only meaningful change is that the assets are now, mostly, intangible and you’re allowed to move to a different parish.

Please, the Ferengi weren’t forced birthers.

Its the rest of us who are Ferengi, on our good days. Those right wingers are even worse.

They call countries banana republics, from what could be described as oil and banking republics with just a small modification or two, without a hint of irony.

Honestly, i think the reason is that just the right amount of alcohol dependency is amazing for capitalism. Dont get me wrong, I’m not judging anyone. I understand and I enjoy a drink myself. I just think we need to be honest with ourselves about it.

It keeps you consuming and it makes you forget all the bullshit you had to put up with all day. It dulls your your problem solving, your creativity and (most importantly) your empathy, so supervisors, middle managers, department managers and execs are less disinclined not to beat down on those below them.

I’m not saying its some grand conspiracy. I’m saying, those in power have known exactly the right drugs to administer to the masses in order to placate them. The Romans knew to give wine and not cannabis. The British army knew to give rum & brandy but not weed.

In fact, all of them were legal. Then, capitalism really took off and, totally unrelated in sure, every drug other than alcohol suddenly became illegal.

Thats true, you can ask the average salary for the role within the firm though. Having seen the pisstaking done in America with ranges, they got out ahead of it.

And it ain’t what it ain’t.

“Well, that’s just how it is”

Person attempting to justify an injustice they also suffer, without even a thought about whether it being “how it is” might actually be connected to all the people saying dumb stuff like “Well, that’s just how it is.”

After that, things get more complicated.

The irony being that those are their genuine concerns.

My favourite part about “woke” is that, at its heart, its just an anonymous authority fallacy.

If you look up the actual meaning of “woke”, in this context, wiki or anything reputable will tell you it means to be aware of and not want to perpetuate discrimination in society. So, not being allowed to fire someone just for being gay would fall under the definition of “woke.”

Now, conservatives will tell you "no, we don’t mean that stuff. Thats just “common sense.” You see, we all had a big meeting and we decided, as one, that this right here is common sense. However, everything past this over here, thats all woke nonsense that we don’t like…

Of course, that meeting never took place.

What, can’t you understand what were saying here? How come we all know what we mean by common sense and you don’t? You’re not stupid are you?..

So simple and obvious that they, apparently, can’t explain or define their own meaning.

Fair enough, that makes way more sense.

I think they meant front line cavalry which, tbf, they should have specified.

For sure, I think horses, donkys and mules are still the best way to carry large supplies for fighting deep in jungles too. Well, outside of helicopters but they’re not ad good at hiding under the jungle canopy. So, I 100% agree. I was just letting you know.

Its strange, you reply with the appearance of disagreeing but then say things that don’t refute anything I’ve said and that I broadly agree with.

For sure and even before machine guns, there’s examples of that like the seige of Badajoz which, for its time, was brutal (Napoleonic - like 5k in an hour or something).

To me though, and apologies if you know already, at the Battle of the somme the British army believed the germans to already be dread after days of shelling. As well as this, the many of the british troops were so poorly trained that they ordered mass sections to literally March, with their arms locked out in front of them with the barrel of their rifle pointing upwards, right at German machine guns hoping to charge at the end. Thats literally napoleonic tactics, only they were all “rifles” or light infantry, so they formed skirmishers lines instead of columns. The British artillery stopped shooting for the advance, so that they didn’t shoot their own troops.

By the end of the war, soldiers huddled behind tanks advancing behind a rolling barage. The germans just did it on mass and had the armour more concentrated. One of the reasons they jumped so far ahead is the hard lessons they had suffered towards the end of the war. I mean, it was still a blood bath for everyone but for them it was an even worse blood bath. So, I agree very much with what you’re saying.

My only point I’m making about the speed of change in warfare, to my understanding, is even greater still in ww1.

Most historians I’ve read consider ww1 to have had a far greater evolution, starting with napoleonic tactics and ending with rolling artillery barrages and tanks.

However, I’m not sure of the point you’re looking to make here. I mean, the polish army sending cavalry against the germans was an act of wild desperation. I think thats the point they were making there.

Not against tanks which would be why the royal dragoons switched to tanks.

I understood them to be talking about cavalry, in that sentence.

Too low wage and the government will top up those being underpaid by their employer, effectively passing on part of the burden of pay to the tax payer.

If wages rise too high, the government will always step in to make sure it doesn’t continue.

Its highly externally regulated and ultra manipulated by the people who buy labour and own for their money. Sadly, some people still beleive in the “invisible hand” blessed be its name story.

Its only a special military operation. Why would they need to escalate?
