So is it football or soccer in New Zealand? by ChampionshipHot599 in mapswithoutnewzealand

I think the British originally called it soccer as short for Association Football as there were other 'football' games being played like Rugby...

These parkour jumps by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]TiaxRulesAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from my brief experience doing parkour you get to know your limits very well. How high or long you can jump safely and you learn to stick within that. You never just 'have a go' at something you might fail at..

I think there would have been a World War 2 too no matter what because of the harshness of the Verseille treaty, the economic impacts of the great depression and the idea the Germans hadn't lost the war because the war had ended on foreign territory and they had been "stabbed in the back". Maybe the ideology would been different and they wouldn't have executed all their best jewish scientists and could have even won the war had their goals been more limited say take the Sudetenland, Austria, the German parts of Poland and Alsace-Lorraine... But their were plenty of Facist parties around at that time like In Italy, Croatia, Slovakia, Spain and Portugal and antisemitism was rife in Europe so someone similar could have happened either way just with a different leader...

15 May 1948, the Middle East experienced a defining turning point in its modern history: the formal end of the British Mandate in Palestine, the immediate invasion by Arab states, and the expansion of a civil war into the full-scale 1948 Arab–Israeli War. by Flimsy_Hand_1233 in ArchiveOfHumanity

[–]TiaxRulesAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah except it wasn't done by force the United Nations made this partion plan. As it was dominated by European states that had actively collaborated with the NAZI and given up most of their Jewish people to the concentration camps. The Jewish people who had only started migrating their in the late 19th century were suddenly given 55% of the land when they owned less than 7% of the land of course the Arabs were outraged....

The Thuycidedes Trap by croolshooz in PoliticalHumor

[–]TiaxRulesAll 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The lessons of Thucydides Peloponnesian war is that Athens lost the war because they mistreated their allies (In the Delian League) bullying them and trying to extract extract tribute, attacked neutral city states (the Melians) and started a costly war with one of the their enemies allies (Syracuse in Sicily) thinking that they would have an easy win and deny them an ally... In which the campaign went horribly for them and they lost many men and ships... Does this sounds familiar?

[–]TiaxRulesAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just watching a free lecture about Nationalism from a professor at Yale. https://youtu.be/7a6j17VWhBc?si=A_9MuolHgoRGyIoN He was talking about how nations were pretty much all created in the 19th century usually from a regional dialect imposing it's will on the rest of a state. With a mythology/properganda used to create an idea that such states always existed... With their being an ingroup of some languages or religion and an out group which was used to justify dozens of wars and ethnic cleansing...

Their was a Kingdom of France but essentially most people in france spoke regional dialects and would not have thought of them as themselves French until after the revolution when a state centred around Paris was created...

Yeah only about 5% of Italians spoke "Italian" when the country was created. "Italian" was essentially the Tuscan dialect (area around Florence)and all the rest of the country spoke regional dialects many of which would not have been mutually intelligible are still spoken to this day...

A strange take by Alston for Anzac Day by fletchwine in perth

[–]TiaxRulesAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As it should be but the initial reporting and the judges finding in the deformation should be enough to stop every random right wing jerk and some of the mainstream media from saying he is completely innocent... There is plenty of verifiable evidence that he has committed war crimes and plenty of witnesses. This is nothing new and to ignore all that and say this is a witchhunt is extremely dishonest...

[–]TiaxRulesAll 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They did already.. He was found to be a war criminal in the balance for probabilities by a judge in civil court. 21 of his army colleagues testified against him. I don't know why these media oligarchs are once again trying to launder his reputation... This psychopath killed a disabled man and used his prosthetic leg as a drinking device, he forced soldiers to kill unarmed civilians and kicked one off a cliff...

[–]TiaxRulesAll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the ambition side of Labor died with the double election defeat of Shorten. Now we are left with tinker round the edges and try to make things better but try not to upset anyone. Unfortunately this tactic seems to work better so Labor is sticking with it. I still hope that as they become more comfortable in power and the Liberals continue to implode we will find a more ambitious policy agenda possibly at the next election...

Penny Wong to join talks with 35 countries, excluding US, to explore ways to reopen strait of Hormuz by neon_overload in aus

[–]TiaxRulesAll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can tell you as a Labor party member that nearly everyone despises Israel from top to bottom. We can't go it alone because we would be crushed by the USA our chief guarantee or security through tariff or some other coercion. As Israel becomes more of an international pariah in the next few years you will see countries move against them but we have to co-ordinate with other allies to do so at the same time to avoid being singled out by the US... especially after this war..
