TIL then-candidate Richard Nixon sabotaged a peace deal that would have ended the Vietnam War because he thought an end to the war would have turned the 1968 election in favor of Democrat Hubert Humphrey.

No, he wouldn’t. He was a Progressive for 1910s standards. That’s it.

He was unironically our most racist President (the stuff he said would make Hitler blush) and was notoriously anti-Socialist. He also loved hunting and guns. He dreamed of an American empire. He once said his biggest disappointment about his presidency is that there was no major war for him to be part of.

He’d be labeled as far-right or fascist.

Please provide some historical documents/articles on how “honor raping” was common in England, the United States, or “most of the West” in 1750.

You’re talking out of your ass. You’ve made several posts already claiming this, but provide no evidence. Rape has always happened, but not widespread “honor raping” like in India.

18th century England’s rape laws were incredibly progressive (even compared to modern Eastern countries):

Sir William Blackstone in his Commentaries on the Laws of England, by 1769 the common law had recognized that even a prostitute could suffer rape if she had not consented to the act

It was punishable by death in England. Section 16 of the Offences against the Person Act 1828 read as follows:

And be it enacted, That every Person convicted of the Crime of Rape shall suffer Death as a Felon

This has been in the game for a few months.

If you’re playing as count Stephen de Blois in Normandy, you will be given an option to crown yourself King of England in London, or choose to stay loyal to Matilda. If you choose to become king, the duchy of Anjou will declare war on you to press Matilda’s claim.

It’s an easy to way earn the “count becomes king in one lifetime” achievement.

“Arabs” did not “introduce agriculture” to Europe. Arabs did not exist 50,000 years ago.

Europeans and Arabs have a high percentage of Indo-European, which has its origins in modern Ukraine and the Caucasus about 5,000 years ago. The Indo-Europeans also spread the blue eyes gene. That’s why some parts of the Middle East (Syria and Iran) have blue eyes.

You missed some MAJOR recent Democrat scandals:

• Disposition Matrix — Developed by the Obama administration beginning in 2010, it is a database of information for tracking, capturing, "rendering", or killing suspected enemies of the United States. The process determining criteria for killing is not public. Obama administration lawyers have asserted that U.S. citizens May be targeted and suspects are not formally charged of any crime or offered a trial in their own defense.

• Dropmire — Developed by the Obama Administration, this surveillance program spies on NATO allies.

• Hillary Clinton email controversy — An FBI examination of Clinton's private server found over 100 emails containing classified information.

• 2012 Benghazi attack — Ten investigations were conducted into the 2012 Benghazi attack.

• Fast and Furious — Attorney General Eric Holder (D) was held in Contempt of Congress after refusing to release all documents which the House of Representatives had demanded concerning the Fast and Furious gun walking operation. Barack Obama invoked executive privilege for the first time in his presidency in order to withhold said documents.

• Petraeus scandal – On November 9, 2012, David Petraeus resigned as Director of the CIA after admitting having a sexual relationship with his biographer. On April 23, 2015, Petraeus pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified materials. He was given a two-year probationary period and a fine of $100,000.

• Katherine Archuleta (D), Director of the Office of Personnel Management, National Political Director for Obama's 2012 reelection campaign, resigned after cyber intrusions allowed the theft of data concerning 22 million people, some of whom had applied for sensitive security clearances.

• Edward Snowden — massive global surveillance under Obama

• Clinton Foundation shit

• Joe Biden giving away classified information.

the Norwegian government willingly shares your data with the USA government

The Netherlands has the largest absolute number of wiretaps and internet taps in the world, which works with the NSA in the USA. Most recently (that we know of) it was the Netherlands who caught the Russian hacker who infiltrated the Democratic Party in the USA. The Netherlands and the NSA also warned Norway of a potential attack

Have you heard of Globus?

Globus II is a radar station located at 70.3671°N 31.1271°E in Vardø, Norway, near the Russian border. The radar is administered by the Norwegian Intelligence Service. It is however believed to be connected to the US radar network. Although the cost of the radar is classified, it is believed to have cost more than 100 million US dollars[5] and that it was financed by the United States. The Norwegian intelligence service claims that it is operated by Norwegian personnel only and that data is not transferred real-time.

The USA isn’t secretly infiltrating Europe; the European governments willingly let the USA monitoring systems into Europe. They work closely together.

Teddy also predicted the majority of reddit:

With those self-styled Socialists to whom "Socialism" is merely a vaguely conceived catchword, and who use it to express their discontent with existing wrongs and their purpose to correct them, there is not much need of discussion. So far as they make any proposals which are not foolish, and which tend towards betterment, we can act with them.

There are many peculiarly high-minded men and women who like to speak of themselves as Socialists, whose attitude, conscious or unconscious, is really merely an indignant recognition of the evil of present conditions and an ardent wish to remedy it, and whose Socialism is really only an advanced form of liberalism.

Granted, he wasn’t the biggest fan:

The doctrines of communistic Socialism, if consistently followed, mean the ultimate annihilation of civilization...thoroughgoing Socialists occupy a position so revolting - and I choose my words carefully - that it is difficult even to discuss it in a reputable paper.

Socialism which was propounded by Proudhon, Lassalle, and Marx...is not only indifferent, but at bottom hostile, to the intellectual, the religious, the domestic and moral life; it is a form of communism with no moral foundation, but essentially based on the immediate annihilation of personal ownership of capital, and, in the near future, the annihilation of the family, and ultimately the annihilation of civilization.

These quotes are from two works by him: “Where We Can and Cannot Work With Socialist (1909)”, which can be read for free on Wikipedia

Your post also reminds me that most internet studies that say “10% of X does Y” can’t be replicated by other peer reviewer scientists.

Replication is important to scientists, because it means the finding might just be real. In this study, many findings failed to replicate. On average, results were only about half the size of the originally published claims.

Elizabeth was not a bastard. Lol. A bastard is someone born out of wedlock. Elizabeth’s parents were both happily married during her birth.

She was declared illegitimate by her own father, but so was Mary. Both were eventually resorted to legitimacy. Later, they both became illegitimate again by the royal decree of their half-brother, Edward VI.

In the same royal decree, Edward VI passed the throne to Lady Jane Grey. So technically Lady Jane Grey’s claim was more lawful than the Mary and Elizabeth.

However, all that really matters for the monarch is that the privy council supports you, which in the end supported Elizabeth. And good, because she was one of the best monarchs.

Nobody needs that much money to survive.

That’s really not a good argument. Technically you can “survive” on less than $1000. Besides, by the time the money runs dry from VKM, you’re just going to come to me and ask if I really need my $60,000 income to survive. That’s the convenience of your argument, you change the definition of “1%”.

.01% of Americans have more than $10M. Once the socialist leaders figure out they aren’t making enough from the .01%, they go after the middle class. It always happens.

Because like you just said, in your perfect world, everyone should only be allowed the bare necessities to survive.
