“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” - Mark Twain

There is no reason it has to be that way lmao. Why choose this?
Anyone know what fish this is?
8·4 days agoI’ve hated that JFK quote since the day I heard it
3·5 days agoIt was in jest
10·7 days agoIt’s an honor to be tagged for a thread like this
2·10 days agoFs, but we can come to that conclusion based on the sources they are using quite easily
Thank you ❤️
I need to know what this movie is called
It is what it is lol, it was kinda fun watching them squirm a little
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet_under_Qing_rule okay fine you got me, I’ll use wikipedia since liberals seem to like it so much. It was part of china since 1720
Redsails didn’t write that nor did they write any of the sources used in the essay. Feel free to offer sources of your own to back your own claims that aren’t immediately and obviously affiliated with relevant powers that have conflicts of interest on this matter.
Dismissing a source because the website hosting it says a lot of stuff you disagree with is deeply unserious.
5·11 days agoIt’s nuts they can claim that with a straight face when by the time europeans arrived there we populations that had moved from Alaska to fucking Patagonia. Claiming they hadn’t made it to newfoundland is baffling.
I’d argue being a worker with rights is significantly better than being a peasant without rights but whatever you say man. If you do want other sources though here’s a short, well sourced, essay on Tibetan feudalism written by a historian who is not Chinese. All of the sources used are western and many are politically opposed to China.
I repeated myself because what you said didn’t make sense and never addressed my argument.
Are you absolutely certain America was pushing chinese communist propaganda in 1944? Are you certain you want to use the highly politically motivated and American backed (both financially and politically) Tibetan government in exile website as a source here? The Tibetan government in exile was created by and for the former Tibetan ruling class who, and I cannot stress this enough, owned people. Peasants they had the legal and religious right to punish however they wanted. In no world can their word be considered reliable.
This 1944 (pre-communist China) American documentary suggests otherwise. Tibet was considered part of China long before it officially became one with it. Besides, the people of Tibet were genuinely slaves, I can’t imagine why people are so upset abou t the feudal system being done away with.
It will always be the stick.
Unfortunately my sub field could make me identifiable so I will leave it at history. You were correct on the humanities front.
As a joke I wad tempted to say marine biology lol
Holy shit its finally here holyshit
