@SomeSomething22 Narrow your interest in historiography to an extreme degree and use your quantitative skills to find something interesting in data sets related to the situation that generated the primary texts the historiography takes to be primary?

@NaisselineZwawa @avrilbradley23 There's also a neat source here recording Arab voter turnout (in general elections) and votes for sectional parties by percentage. Either way, widespread boycotts weren't common, just apathy

That being said the death of the Israeli left has more to do with demographic changes and disillusionment with peace process than this particular race-Netanyahu was gone for most of the 2000s.

When I found out that Israeli Arabs boycotted the first election that Benjamin Netanyahu won to become prime minister I really lost my mind dude. Turns out not voting for the lesser of two evils had generationally bad consequences. He would have easily lost if Arabs voted!

@Absurd_Ruka If my analogy isn't too crass, I'd liken Palestinian "participation" in the Israeli political process to communist participation in bourgeois governments; I don't think people should have any pretensions about it, but abandoning it alltogether is not the best strategy either

@bulgarbrutalit2 To address the second xeet on there: the concept that contemporary nation states can align themselves, on the long term, towards broader goals, and that they may put off their immediate interest pursuant of such those goals, seem too complex to understand for some

The last point is wholly incorrect. The USSR actually signed a treaty recognizing the ROC as the sole government of China after they had invaded Japan, as they believed that the prospect of a communist takeover was infeasible. If anything, the USSR betrayed the CPC.

France & Britain planned to bomb Soviet oilfields, Britain later planned to invade the USSR, the Soviet Union funneled resources to Germany, America sought to dismantle the British Empire, America mooted carving up France, the USSR turned on the KMT immediately after the War.

Tho the gist's that contemporary literature puts too much emphasis on racist/discriminatory conduct of left organisations (SALP's bad, but more reasonable than people think, CPSA's outright unfairly derided), and not enough emphasis on spontaneous brutality arising from strikers

One part of me wants to believe that Alcubierre's equations are congruent with physical reality, that we can sufficiently develop to overcome the engineering hurdles involved and that exotic matter is somehow real; the other part of me has probably all but 60-80 years to live.

Science fiction nerds are gonna hate me for saying this but the Great Filter is that interstellar travel is probably more or less impossible and there is no reason to come up with any other explanation for that.

@bmaterialism @unitas_spiritus @imuru_danansun Since other people commented, I must come and say that I would've predicted the same too (it's because of social media vibes)

@P0stUn0riginal_ "Positivism" is when I don't like some Marxist theoretical tradition, and the more I don't like it the more Positivist it is

@avrilbradley23 There is a big difference between "Relatively fast probes using advanced technology allowing humanity to travel to Alpha Centauri or wherever in "possible" timeframes" vs. "Actual "FTL" a la Alcubierre Drives" and the nuance is frustratingly lost in the discourse.

Intercontinental travel had already been achieved by ships etc in 1918 and was theoretically possible even with very low technology.
