The income tax that Lincoln tried to implement was struct down by SCOTUS. That is why they had to pass the 16th amendment, which was part of the progressive reforms of the early 1900's.
So no Lincoln did not start the income tax. Yes he tried to implement an idea that had been floating around for a while at point but was unsuccessful.
So help me out here. The atom bomb was used on the Japanese, who last time I checked were in Asia which is not populated by whites. In addition the Japanese were killing…wait for it…other Asians, again not whites. So your logic escapes me.
Considering that at the time both China and Japan were feudal societies, i.e. not communist, that point doesn't seem to have any bearing. The Japanese were allied with the Germans yes, but it was mostly an alliance of convenience, not one of ideology. So again your argument seems to be revisionist at best.
Having an alliance of two groups that consider themselves to be the superior race is not going to work out well.
However that point aside, I would agree that they considered themselves better than other Asians for sure. It is also important to recall, imo, that they were largely goaded into their militarist posture with the collapse of the Dutch in Indonesia and our efforts to use "soft power" to keep the Japanese in their place. That combined with their long history of conflict with the Chinese, going both ways, led to their desire to take control of Asia. I would note that their expansion was almost exclusively Asia based, Pearl Harbor was their attempt to close the back door as it were.
1) He was dead by the time the 16th was passed so you can't blame that on him.
2) His attempt was ultimately unsuccessful as it was struct down by the SCOTUS of the day.
Note that I am not saying he was a perfect president, he did things that were ultimately found to be unconstitutional, like his income tax. Just as there are things I disagree with Trump on, there are things I disagree with Lincoln about. Unlike Trump though I wasn't around in Lincoln's time so my judgement of him must be tempered by the simple fact that he had a better handle on the situation at the time than I can in retrospect.
The Russians were only on our side after Germany attacked them. We used them to tie up German forces on the Eastern front. If anything they fought on our side, not the other way around.
Okay, but by that standard the Italians of the time thought they were superior, and the French…well the French still do…but my point is that just about everyone at that point thought they were the best, so the Japanese were hardly the outlier.
I think we probably agree more than disagree anon.
I would argue your focus is too narrow. The vatican is just one branch of a larger group. And yes they use wars for population control, but they don't really care what the winning group is called.
>do not represent China at all. They just enslave China.
I would agree with that. I'm not entirely convinced the CCP is a stand alone group. I tend to think they are just one more arm of the octopus.
I think the reason I separate out the Japanese from the Germans and the Italians is that they were not following the socialist et al ideology. They were militarist yes, but their ideology was feudal based.
So here's a random thought. What happens if when they try to feed their fake ballots into the machines the machines just spit them out as invalid? If they can't get the machines to count their bogus ballots then what do they do?
I'd love to be a fly on that wall. kek
