Board: /his/
"/his/ - History & Humanities" is 4chan's board for discussing and debating history.
This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.
For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.
/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.
When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts. A Totonac messenger carries Hernando Cortés' letter to Tlaxcala, where he asks them to cease hostilities and be accepted as an ally. The emissary transports the letter tied to a reed, perhaps made of otate. An interesting and astonishing analogy is that the Japanese transported documents in the same way until a century ago.
The similarities between the societies of the Far East of Asia and America are disturbing. I can't help but remember Enrique Dussel when he stated that America is the Far East of the Orient. These analogies speak to us of layers of history, of a common past bifurcated 40,000 years ago by the maritime migrations of whale hunters and by land via Beringia, but present in the ways and customs of the people. >country is founded on luciferian value of freedom

Really makes you think Turns out jeets were trying to hide that Indus Valley civ was already Aryan. Why does ANF/EEF look so tired? how do white catholics feel about their denomination being ruined by the latinx? Science was what led to the invention of nuclear missiles, biochemical warfare, microplastics, pollution, climate change, artificial intelligence, 9-5 sovlless work hours, and anime
Religion had very little to do with that and actually told us those things are bad a long time ago. Actually, the worst of these inventions were made by secularists/atheists. 
I'm interested in reading about Japanese history of which I know next to nothing. For the moment my plan is
1) Sansom's "A History of Japan to 1334" for the early period
2) Possibly Sansom again for the Sengoku period, unless I end up disliking the 1st volume
3) Either Gordon or Jansen for modern history (Tokugawa+)
4) Friday for samurai stuff
I am primarily interested in narrative histories that are written by credible scholars. I don't mind if the text is a little dry, however I'm not a professional historian, so it shouldn't be overtly academic, with citations at every second sentence. My questions to you
i) How is Sansom in general? I hear he's good, but outdated in some respects. Unless latest archaeological findings completely disprove his writings I don't mind. I've also seen Friday's "Japan Emerging" recommended for the early history, how is it? It's not the work of a single person, but rather a collection of articles by a bunch of scholars.
ii) By far the most common recommendation for the modern period is Gordon, however Jansen also comes up and has a very high pedigree. How do the two compare, which would you recommend?
iii) I'm also interested in the history of Buddhism in Japan (first contact, spread, development, relations with the powers and Shinto, etc.). Any recs? Was the April Fools event and its consequences like the bronze age collapse but on 4chan? What are the chances that there were advanced civilizations on this flooded land? What exactly is a guru, how do you become one, and do people take them seriously? Do you think there's a reason why John Locke's Treatises were disseminated in France and America omitting the first where he said "the greatest liberty in the world is to live under a monarch"? what caused their inferiority complex? In the great depression america used the Smoot Hawley act to put tariffs on the entire world and the world retaliated by trading together while excluding america.
And somehow America emerged richer than any of them anyway after Roosevelt ended the tariffs.
How did that work?
Economists say tariffs don't work. >be a nobody
>the most powerful man on earth falls in love with you
>become one of the most famous faces in antiquity after you die
>christcucks seethed over you and your cult for a good 200-300 years after you died
How did Antinous do it? Post your opinions, hot takes and questions here.
From the economics of the war, the everchanging political alliances to the stategies and military tactics - anything goes! >surround most of Allied forces and can soon defeat them all at once
But for no apparent reason you halt any advances for 2 days to give ample time for your enemies to retreat. WTF? where did the meme that the best Roman emperors came from Spain originate?
of the Roman Emperors born there we have
>Trajan
>Very good
>Hadrian
>also very good
but then that's it until the 4th century, where we have
>Theodosius I
>He was decent, not great but not terrible either
>Arcadius
>bad
and lastly we have
>Honorius
>even worse than Arcadius, utterly abysmal emperor
So in short of the five Spanish emperors there are two exceptionally good ones, one alright one, one bad one, and one terrible one
Also the best emperors were from the Balkans anyway so the original statement is still wrong For me, it’s Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix. What a badass dude. This is how the Italic peoples were. At least in the way they were represented and by the SNP analyses. The reason why they contrasted with peoples further north, such as the Gauls, as being red-haired or much lighter-skinned, is because those characteristics were rare in Italy, even though the Gauls were not very blond. The same with the Greeks Remember Argentina used to be 85% white and the rest light-skinned mestizos
Many years ago, Europeans stopped coming and immigrants from Latin American countries began to come,mainly people from Paraguay and Bolivia.
Now the native population is being replaced by brown people
In Argentina all this is completely ignored
the kids are brainwashed by telling them that the argentinian is the mestizo
some people even deny that the country was ever white
https://www.amren.com/features/2017/04/argentina-a-mirror-of-your-future-buenos-aires-latin-america/ Is there a term for someone who displays all the characteristics of a psychopath but sincerely believes they're a good person doing all the right things? its really mad how all of europe, especially poles, helped germans genocide jews but only krauts got blamed for it in 1981, a race-riot erupted in the Lyon suburb of Vénissieux:
https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/podcasts/affaires-sensibles/l-ete-des-minguettes-1981-les-rodeos-de-la-colere-7720633
A mob burned cars and attacked cops and white French people indiscriminately before riot police managed to contain them. Much of the violence took place around housing projects full of North Africans.
Why didn't France do anything about this problem back in 1981, instead of allowing things to simply get worse over the next several decades? In retrospect, it seems like a missed opportunity. 
In 1933, the young mathematician Oswald Teichmüller (who is known today for the Teichmüller spaces) led a student boycott against the jewish professor Edmund Landau, who soon wanted to teach calculus for the second semester. Some people know him from the Landau problems.
Teichmüller provided a written justification for his boycott, which is not so easy to find today and seems quite remarkable to me.
"I am not concerned with making difficulties
for you as a Jew, but only with protecting – above all – German students of the second semester from being taught differential and integral calculus by a teacher of a race quite foreign to them. I, like everyone else, do not doubt your ability to instruct suitable students of whatever origin in the purely abstract aspects of mathematics. But I know that many academic courses, especially the differential and
integral calculus, have at the same time educative value, inducting the pupil not only to a conceptual world but also to a different frame of mind. But since the latter depends very substantially on the racial composition of the individual, it follows that an aryan student should not be allowed to be trained by a jewish teacher.
I can speak here from other experience. The pupil actually only has two options: Either he pulls out only the international mathematical framework from the teacher's lecture and covers it with his own flesh. This is mathematically and philosophically productive work that only the least able to cope with. The rest of them let the lecture only affect their memory and the outer surface of their mind and try to forget all the higher stuff as quickly as possible after the state examination.
The third way, to take over the material in the foreign form, leads to a mental degeneration that you cannot and probably do not want to expect from a student today."
These historical "niches", anecdotes, really add some colour to the big picture.
pic related is teichmüller Is this what ANE looked like, historically speaking? >Uyghur revolt begins in 742, succeeds in 745
>Sogdians become influential and court, and the khagan converts to manichaenism soon after
>Abbasid revolution starts in 747 in the Caliphate's far east
>funded by silk road merchants, primarily Sogdians
>in 755, half-Sogdian general An Lushan revolts against the Tang empire, plunging it into chaos
>also in 755, the Emperor of Tibet is assassinated by two of his own ministers
WTF happened. Was there some sort of grand (((Sogdian))) conspiracy? Is the reason it is distasteful to point out the stark difference between the genetic and ethnic (and ultimately racial) make up of North Africa and the rest of Africa, because it would handily dispel any copes black people have with regard to their historical success and their prominence throughout history? I wish we would have given subsaharan africa a different name similar to how we gave Europe a continental identity despite it definitively being part of a larger continent. The constant conflation of terms like Africa and black and just hearing untruths constantly from not only blacks but people who are just ignorant is pretty irritating. If you are a Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Church of the East, Anglican, Methodist, Moravian, Lutheran, Calvinist, Pentecostal, Non-KJV Baptist, Anabaptist, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh-day Adventist, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Pain, Sikh, Daoist, Shinto, New Age, Wiccan, Heist, Atheists, Agnostic, and any non-KJV Baptist, then you will burn in hell for all eternity.
Only KJV Baptists are the true religion. Everyone else is going to burn in the lake of eternal fire. Why is Spain seen as Roman while France is seen as only half Roman half Celtic?
Its not like Italics replaced the Celtiberians completely. It was similar to what happened to Gauls. How could these guys have won the civil war??? Surely there was a chance, no? 
>Rosewood was a quiet, self-sufficient whistle-stop on the Seaboard Air Line Railway in Florida. By 1900 the population in Rosewood had become predominantly African-American. Some people farmed or worked in local businesses, including a sawmill in nearby Sumner, a predominantly white town. In 1920, Rosewood Blacks had three churches, a school, a large Masonic Hall, turpentine mill, a sugarcane mill, a baseball team and a general store (a second one was white owned). The village had about two dozen plank two-story homes, some other small houses, as well as several small unoccupied plank structures.
>Spurred by unsupported accusations that a white woman in Sumner had been beaten and possibly raped by a Black drifter, white men from a number of nearby towns lynched a Rosewood resident. When the Black citizens defended themselves against further attack, several hundred whites combed the countryside hunting Black people and burning almost every structure in Rosewood. Survivors hid for several days in nearby swamps and were evacuated by train and car to larger towns. Although state and local authorities were aware of the violence, they made no arrests for the activities in Rosewood. At least six Blacks and two whites were killed, and the town was abandoned by Black residents during the attacks. None ever returned. There is an african hunter-gatherer tribe in tanzania that still lives like the stone age. But in videos where youtubers have met them, they clearly have steel pots, and some modern clothing along with remnants of other modern technology. So are they real or fake? In ancient Greece it was the kids who were the pedos Was Napoleon III really a dictator? Why did everyone forget about the Sumerians? Could he really conquer Persia? Why are baltic germans like this ? "He made a list of all the Circassians he personally killed. His fearlessness and incredible awareness of the affairs of the Caucasians brought him an otherworldly status among the Circassians, who called Zass "Shaytan" (Satan). Circassian mothers reportedly frightened their children with the name of Zass." Were these southern Russians considered Indians and Chinese? why do swarthoids use this cope instead of simple whiteness tests such as blue eyes or blonde hair? Why did the Communists lose so badly in Poland, in 1989?

>The Secte Rouge, also called the Cochon Gris or the Vinbrindingue, is or was a secret society in Haiti, which Zora Neale Hurston described in her 1938 book Tell My Horse. Hurston's sources of information were lore related by Haitians, as well as a few earlier books
>She described them as a fearsome group of cannibals who performed rites distinct from vodoo practiced by many Haitians. According to Huston, Secte Rouge used counterfeit vodou ceremonies to hide their presence, and moreover that many of the practices abhorred by outsiders and attributed to vodou were actually committed by Secte Rouge (e.g., the robbery or desecration of graves). Hurston provided descriptions of Secte Rouge ceremonies to the gods Maitre Carrefour (Lord of the Cross Roads) and Baron Cimetière, a deity involved with graveyards
>The Secte Rouge was held to have originated among slaves captured in the Mondongue region, now part of the Central African Republic, said to have practiced cannibalism in their homeland. Their behavior was held in check by slavery during the 1700s when France ruled the island, but with the Haitian Revolution and independence in 1804 the Secte Rouge were unleashed. The tenure of President Fabre Geffrard (1859-1867) was said to have been the peak years of the Secte Rouge. Anecdotes include stories of a midwife near who murdered newborn infants specifically to consume their flesh, and human fingernails being discovered in food sold as pig's feet
>Hurston relates a conversation with an unidentified "high official of the Guarde d'Haiti" who said that police keep suspected Secte Rouge members under surveillance, hoping to gather evidence or observe criminal activity. The Secte Rouge members kept a strict code of secrecy Were they really the embodiment of evil? So who pozzed his neg hole? Historically speaking 4B or "Four Nos" isa radical feminist movement that originated in South Korea. The name refers to its defining four tenets which all start with the Korean-language term bi (Korean: 비; Hanja: 非), roughly meaning "no". Its proponents do not date men, marry men, have sex with men, or have children with men. As of now, it has become an extremely popular trend in america, following the ideas of various radical feminists and gender separatists of the 20th century.
Where Mary Daly and Valerie Solanas right? Is God a Woman? Is the Y chromosome an evil mutation? Is killing a surrendered soldier illegal? Are Cypriots purer Greeks than mainland ones? Archaeological and historical evidence tells us that the Monastery of St Anthony, in Egypt, is the oldest church building in the world, so that means that the Coptic Orthodox Church is literally in possession of the world's oldest church building. Therefore, why do people dispute the idea of which the oldest church was when we all know that the Patriarch of Alexandria has the best claim to the title of TRVE SVCCESSOR TO ST PETER? I won these historical items at a small auction. What are these? This is what your ancestors looked like 250,000,000 years ago.
Stupid fat mole rat things, that's where you came from, faggot. Not so smug are you now? wait he was actually president?
what did he do? since mainland greece was completely overrun by slavs for most of the byzantine period, but especially from 600 ad to 900 ad (during byzantine dark age), is it possible that the greeks we see today are lighter skinned than ancient greeks? Anyone else thinks it's weird how christians gloat so much about their fellow men burning in Hell? They would be so happy and pleased to see you rot and suffer in eternal flames. Jesus never pointed a finger at sinners and laughted at their missery. I don't think one should indulge or condone acts he believes are sinful of course. I'm not saying you should encourage or clap at sinners but neither should you feel joy because they will be thrown to Hell. One should rather feel sad a fellow man has fallen and pray for his soul. I miss the old heresies. They weren’t as weird as the ones we have now. How do you feel about not being a great man who will be remembered two thousand years from now? Sad? Happy? Indifferent? Why do you think some men are great, and others are forgotten? Do you consider historical legacy to be a form of immortality? Even if you personally believe that life is pointless since it's all going to end up destroyed in the heat death anyway, wouldn't you want to carve out a small portion of the cosmos that says "I was here."?
Sure, some of them inherited their kingdoms. But there are a few great men who clawed their way up from the bottom to leave their mark in history. Do you think that yourself doing that is even within the realm of possibility? Does it bother you or hurt your pride, even if slightly, that you will not be remembered as a Great Man? 
If you were a true white supremacist you would curse Adolf Hitler. The colonial empires still ruled the world, eugenics programs were sterilizing people in every country, fertility rates were high, whites were extremely racist, there was the white Australia policy, segregation in the US, and France and Italy were turning North Africa into the white man's land. Hitler just had to throw a retarded spergout over Nordicism and Lebensraum. Lothrop Stoddard believed the same things Hitler did, that Jews were a subversive threat to Europe and Nords and Germanics were a superior race who created all ancient civilizations and Southern and Eastern Europeans were inferior. But unlike Hitler he was smart enough to know that another world war had to be avoided at all costs if white people were going to retain control over the world and survive as a race. The only reason that you live in the anti-white decolonized neoliberal world under the Jewish boot you do today is because of the actions of Hitler. Even his closest advisers thought he was mad for wanting to start the war. He got lucky the first few times but eventually his luck ran out and he took Europe down with him into that bunker and committed a murder-suicide on an entire continent and race. Why are Europeans so obsessed with Rome? It was an Empire of brown people (Italians, Greeks, Egyptians, Syrians, Balkaners, Anatolians etc.) that destroyed ancient European cultures and replaced them with their own. That included wiping out native European religions and replacing it with a middle eastern one worshipping an all powerful jew. Europeans even shrunk and got weaker under Roman rule because they replaced a mostly meat based diet with one based on grain, more popular in the south. Why do Europeans like them? so it's basically a fact at this point that fighting against the german reich was a mistake, right? The philosopher, king, Conquerors, aristocrats were right on women. huh...REALLY makes u think 
The Pyramids used to be adorned in white limestone which rendered the surface smooth with the tips covered in gold. All these Greek ruins are sitting around and look like shit when they used to be flawless and painted, decorated ornately with stunning engravements, this and that used to look like that and this, yadda yadda yadda, you get the point. The same type of people who will look at you like you’re a demon if you propose restoring them love citing this Japanese parable which is spread around the internet, for anyone not familiar I’ll give a summary:
Basically some Westerner goes to Japan and sees some super old ass temple which appears as if it was constructed yesterday and exclaims to a nearby Jap how amazed he is that it has been maintained for so long as it was so long ago and is basically incorrectly assuming that every brick and other part of the temple is the exact same piece put there in ancient times, until the Japanese man explains that every single piece of the temple has been replaced with new ones and not a single original piece remains, and how this doesn’t make it any less of the exact same temple, and this is supposed to be deep.
The pyramids began to lose their beautiful facade at an unprecedented rate in medieval times due to looters as well as rulers ordering the limestone to be removed for use in newer construction projects, and obviously the erosion of time over thousands of years also played its part.
People who staunchly oppose restoration claim moral superiority on the basis of preservation, but it would be more of a service in the name of preservation if they once again had their outside shield. If I were dictator of Egypt I would dictate this and also give free reign to all authorized archaeological teams to once again use more “invasive” techniques of drilling holes in irrelevant parts of the interior wall in hopes of making new discoveries. We should restore all other significant monuments as well. Why did the Third Reich invade the Soviet Union for Lebensraum when the UK could have been defeated (jet fighters prepared by 1941 had 4-1 kill ratios against the western allies in 1944 and 1945) in a second battle for Britain? Picrel has all the natural resources the Reich would ever need and is contiguous. This would be extremely profitable, especially when a potential takeover of the east indies is factored in. This even leaves leftovers for France and the UK when the war is over to avoid too much rage. The Third Reich absolutely had the will for settler colonialism that the western allies did not: are there any writings explaining why the Colonial route, which would have been easier, was not explored? Were they really so stupid as not to adjust the plan considering the circumstances in 1940? Can a polychronic country ever become truely succesful without adopting monochronic culture ? >Historians when you say you are interested in "Military History" Imagine being an ancient mediterranean explorer in northern Europe
>after the nords are elevated from being monkeys but before they're actually real men and vikings
>your superior diet and lifestyle make you significantly taller than their men and your med genes body hair mogs all of them
>your armour and weapons are far beyond anything their tiny brains could comprehend or make
>your civilization and science far outpaces theirs
>even the men are short, weak, palem stupid and skinny, they're essentially the perfect slaves 
Jesus lived on a land not too different from central mexico. His robes where moved by the same freshening breezes that cut the desert heat. For the 40 days he lived under the same sun, the soil shining white between the dry bushes: god marveling at his own creation, from the chapulin or cricket, to the crows or the zanates; he preached to those sunburnt jews, ragged and caked in dust like the pastors two thousand years across the sea. The jordan, much like the canals in mexico, a slow, muddy river full of flies, was were he was baptized.
It makes you think, that God preferred this to being born a prince of any nation. That the exemplar perfection of the human race was not some herculean athlete or beautiful genius, but a carpenter's son, his hands made coarse by the working of wood, his skin clinged to his bones from casual starvation, his beard unkept from living in poverty, his body dusty for sleeping outdoors.
That is the true God. Not a demon or deciever obsessed with pleasure and pomp. One who from his omnipotence descends to become a man, to suffer, to die, to burn in hell and ascend from it. That is christ This is Saloth Sâr, say something nice about him >for the sake of the kingdom of heaven
How is this not Jesus endorsing men cutting off their penises? >Sub-Saharan Africa faces a significant challenge with a large portion of its population lacking access to electricity, with 600 million people, or 53% of the region's population, without access in 2022
A dire indictment of capitalism and the Washington consensus, but remember, it's socialism/communism that don't work Only seven books were actually written by the person who claimed to be writing them. The rest are anonymous or forged.
https://ehrmanblog.org/how-many-books-in-the-new-testament-were-forged/ Atheists of /his/, at what exact moment did you decide that you hate God and Jesus Christ so much that you would never believe, no matter what? Bonus points if you relay an actual event or experience you had, rather than some intellectualized faux-answer. 
Why among all the Aztec gods, did the Spanish priests choose to associate Jesus with Quetzalcoatl to convert them (yes, it wasn't the Mormons who invented this story)? Does it have anything to do with him being related to Venus/Morning Star like Jesus (Thomas was called Didymus because he and Jesus were twin brothers, interestingly Quetzalcoatl also had a twin brother called Xolotl)?
>Other parties have also promulgated the idea that the Mesoamericans believed the conquistadors, and in particular Cortés, to be awaited gods: most notably the historians of the Franciscan order such as Fray Gerónimo de Mendieta. Some Franciscans at this time held millennarian beliefs and some of them believed that Cortés' coming to the New World ushered in the final era of evangelization before the coming of the millennium. Franciscans such as Toribio de Benavente "Motolinia" saw elements of Christianity in the pre-Columbian religions and therefore believed that Mesoamerica had been evangelized before, possibly by Thomas the Apostle, who, according to legend, had "gone to preach beyond the Ganges". Franciscans then equated the original Quetzalcoatl with Thomas and imagined that the Indians had long-awaited his return to take part once again in God's kingdom This is the modern Battle of Thermopylae >The Aral Sea was...
No sadder words in the English language. What is the historical reason for eastern europeans hating the USSR so much? When I told you fuckers that this was nordicist we wuzzery of the highest order everyone pretended I was defending the casting of blacks 
>Alfredo Stroessner Matiauda was a Paraguayan politician, army general and military dictator who ruled as the 42nd president of Paraguay from 15 August 1954 until his overthrow in 1989. Known there as El Stronato, his dictatorship was marked by political violence.
>Stroessner's rule brought more stability than most of the country's living residents had previously known. From 1927 to 1954, the country had had 22 presidents, including six from 1948 to 1954 alone. However, that stability came at a high cost. Corruption was rampant (Stroessner himself did not dispute charges of corruption at some levels in his government) and Paraguay's human rights record was considered one of the poorest in South America. During Stroessner's regime, an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 people were murdered, 400 to 500 more "disappeared," and thousands more imprisoned and tortured.
>Soon after taking office, Stroessner placed the entire country under a state of siege and suspended civil liberties. The state-of-siege provisions allowed the government to arrest and detain anyone indefinitely without trial, as well as forbid public meetings and demonstrations.
>A devoted anti-communist who brought Paraguay into the World Anti-Communist League, he justified his repression as a necessary measure to protect the country. The use of political repression, threats and death squads was a key factor in Stroessner's longevity as dictator of Paraguay. He maintained virtually unlimited power by giving a free hand to the military and to Minister of Interior Edgar Ynsfrán, who began to harass, terrorize, and occasionally murder family members of the regime's opponents.
>Stroessner's Paraguay became a haven for Nazi war criminals, including Josef Mengele, and non-communist peaceful opposition was crushed. Given Stroessner's affinity for Nazism and harboring of Nazi war criminals, foreign press often referred to his government as the "poor man's Nazi regime". Sociologically speaking (humanities), how does this make sense? >At no point since the assassination have a majority of Americans believed the truth: that Oswald was a lone gunman.
>Conspiracies exist. But they require evidence. Otherwise, they're conspiracy theories. And a country that falls for conspiracy theories without any supporting evidence is a country ripe for the plucking by demagogues on all sides.
Is there any evidence that the government's account of the JFK assassination is it 100% accurate? Noted JFK assassination expert Benjamin 'Mossad' Shapiro says NO. Why didn't the British overrun the Americans during the Battle of New Orleans in 1812? The British had thousands of more troops than the Americans did. Is it true that the Arabs genocided Persians BEFORE Islam took root? How was Islam actually established in Iran? Can god make 2+2=5 or is he subject to the laws of mathematics? Catholics can not simultaneously hold the position that sex is a sacred part of marriage, and that Joseph never hit it. It falls apart logically. If there's no sin in Heaven that means there's no free will in Heaven. If god exists why did he make atheists more intelligent? This is the face of a man who killed a man and survived. He killed a man intimately, none of the shooting from 50 feet away shit.
Him and a opponent soldier engaged in a knife fight to the death. His face shows that this fight will damage him for LIFE. You can visibly see the mental scars that'll never heal.
So is humanity so violent if it takes a toll on us. Are we predator animals or prey? A bear wouldn't feel remorse for killing another bear that encroaches on its territory so why do we? And if evaluation made us remorseful why did it also make us violent to begin with It was the final piece to the empire (maybe excluding scotland). Why couldn’t the Romans conquer it? Was the Augustan campaign the only chance to conquer it?
If they did conquer it, would they face the same barbarian threat down the road from the slavs? >Master morality=Gengish Khan, Yamnaya, Sparta,..., White
>Slave morality=Christianity, Indians, ..., Brown(Very) Brown
So whats ubermensches morality like? Why were the germans the only one who could into rocket science? Them along with the Yahuds and Kurdis as well. Mashallah the great Ra'is Abu Uday, Saddam Hussein punished them and punished them good in the holy war of saddam's el quasidiyah. Wallah and Bismillah the great Iraqi Nation punished fought a historic war of greatness against the majoos, the fire worshippers. 
> Alvarado developed a plan to outfit an armada that would sail from the western coast of Mexico to China and the Spice Islands. At great cost, he assembled and equipped 13 ships and approximately 550 soldiers for the expedition. The fleet was about to set sail in 1541 when Alvarado received a letter from Cristóbal de Oñate, pleading for help against hostile Indians who were besieging him at Nochistlán.
> The siege was part of a major revolt by the Mixtón natives of the Nueva Galicia region of Mexico. Alvarado gathered his troops and went to help Oñate. In a freak accident, he was crushed by a horse that was spooked and ran amok. Alvarado lay in agony before eventually dying a few days later, on July 4, 1541, and was buried in the church at Tiripetío, a village between Pátzcuaro and Morelia (in present-day Michoacán).
> Four decades after Alvarado's death, his mestiza daughter Leonor de Alvarado Xicoténcatl paid to transport his remains to Guatemala for reburial in the cathedral of the city of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala, now Antigua Guatemala. without rambling theological mumbo jumbo simply explain how a man can be god >Period is literally called "the Three Kingdoms Era"

Chinese history is retarded. A new study came out with interesting samples and I would like to discuss this topic. The link to the study is here
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08793-7
let's discuss!
As no surprise to anyone, they were like the Iberomaurusians, but judging by the distal admixture models, the Negroid sources may be varied chart like picrel but for history books? Were they really following armies in the Great War? How many were there? Why did no empires from Persians , Romans , Arabs and up until 1800s never conquer this area of try to control it? Seems weird that is full of illiterate nomads and African tribes how did they never get conquered or wiped out
Plus why wasnt a city founded here it lies in one of most geo strategic locations in world and couldve been a major city state so why is there little to footnotes about it in history
Plus it was like right across Yemen did no Arab tribes not think of settling there but somehow ended up settling all over North Africa Hypostatic union or prosopic union? Which one is most faithful to the doctrine of St. Athanasius and Nicaea?
The former is the Chalcedonian position which teaches that Jesus Christ is one hypostasis with two natures.
The latter is the Nestorian position which teaches that Jesus Christ is one prosopon with two hypostases.
Which is best? Which is correct? 
How tf do you guys actually remember this stuff?
So I’ve been trying to actually learn history instead of just absorbing random YouTube videos and memes, but holy hell—it’s like trying to memorize the Library of Alexandria. I can remember obscure facts like the color of Napoleon’s bathroom tiles, but I can’t keep track of which Louis did what, or why half of Europe was constantly at war over a cousin’s cousin’s cousin.
How do YOU study history and actually retain it? Just reading over textbooks and timelines isn’t doing it for me. I tried Anki but it feels like I’m getting waterboarded by flashcards.
Someone on /lit/ mentioned this thing called flashcards.ai that lets you generate flashcard decks from text or even upload documents and it’ll make the cards for you—seems less painful than doing it all manually. That's def helping, but still feel like I can do more to better retain information.
Anyway, curious what methods you schizos use to actually remember this timeline spaghetti. Do you take notes? Just rewatch videos? Or have you all sold your souls for perfect recall? >"Porn" on the cross is larger text than "Murder"
Christians have the worst relationship to their own sexuality of anyone in the world. Which judge/court is responsible for the antitextualism legislate from the bench judicial activism bullshit the dems did for basically the entire 20th century? Like which judge/court just decided
>fuck the constitution, this is a loophole to pass laws without going though congress if someone tells you that you should stop being a christian, jew, or muslim because your ancestors were instead pagans, it's not your ancestral religion, and you should instead worship the God of your people. how exactly do you respond to that? they haven't said anything wrong To become Christ means to give away the body and embrace eternity. The body and this world are temporary. The cross is not the end. The resurrection is the goal. growing up is realizing that most criticisms of jews are really just, "it's only bad when they do it".
>jews subvert local cultures!
but it's okay when Europeans did that in India/mesoAmericas for centuries.
>jews are...le racist to goyim!
but it's okay when Prof. Noncey Boymounter III writes his 50th thesis on why Sub Saharan Africans aren't human beings. or when Mahmoud castrates every black male slave over 12.
>jews are imperialists!
but it's okay when muslims erase countless cultures in MENA or euros salivate at indian/mexican land
>jewish claims are a dubious LARP!
but it's okay when the prophet (pbuh) decides it's okay to do something because he happens to like it. or europeans claiming God promised them Injun land 2 weeks ago.
>jews are genocidal
so true....anyone know where I can find a european or arab pagan? Science excels in managing already defined spaces through established theories and definitions.
Reality does not consist of only these types of things though; it is filled with chaos, ambiguity, confusion, limited perception, paradox, and doubt.
What is the answer to these problems if an experiment yields no clear results, and the rational process reaches a dead end? Science completely breaks down and ceases to function.
Therefor, when science reaches its limit, the only place one can turn is to irrationality of thought (as the rational has been exhausted), and actions that are based on faith (as the experiments with certainty have all been conducted)
Why then, do science advocates spit upon irrationality and faith, when it is the thing which transforms their own stagnation into a reborn cycle of new ideas? Paperback, leather, or hardcover bibles? Why do people like to pretend that the cia was even remotely competent during the Cold War? Why do we so often distract ourselves with entertainment and media during times of crisis? Realistically people should be avoiding these and fixing society but a majority of people and governments enable this head in the sand mentality Is the historic relationship between Ethiopia and Yemen similar to Greece and Rome, or Arabs and Persians? Was it more one-sided? If it's the former what are the precursors of Saba in Ethiopia/Eritrea? What a shitty president and every other Democratic president after this guy was shittier or mincemeat for bullets (such as JFK and only JFK). Why do the people vote for such shitty presidents? I think it all started with giving women and minorities the right to vote. Wilson himself only won because Roosevelt and Taft had a fallout but we all know Wilson wasn't worth a damn for the Presidency. I don't believe in god because I don't believe in magic. Watching atheist having a melty over the bible js kind of sad. They aren't atheists, most of them wear a crucifix around their neck and reference God in their rap lyrics so they aren't atheists. But it's rare to see them becoming devout Muslims. How do I become a female mohel who only performs circumcision on hot college guys with fat chodes :thinking emoji: :thinking emoji: A reminder that Franco did nothing wrong. ARRIBA ESPANA ‘There was nothing in Lenin’s personal appearance to suggest even faintly a resemblance to the super-man…he looked at first glance more like a provincial grocer than a leader. Yet in those steely eyes there was something that arrested attention, something in that quizzing, half-contemptuous, half smiling look which spoke of boundless self-confidence and conscious superiority.’ Robert Bruce Lockhart, meeting Lenin, spring 1918 ‘The fact that all his…[Lenin’s] powers and energies are concentrated upon one thing makes it easy for him to appear extraordinary in the eyes of the masses and become a leader, in the same way that those who really concentrate on God become saints and those who live only for money become millionaires.’ Ignazio Silone (1900–1978) If you think about Jesus critically enough there was nothing he did wrong, miracles aside. The question is, was this person real or merely, a Jewish or Roman fabrication as some here posit? Hispanics are either National Socialist Pagans or National Socialist Traditional Catholics Is there some historians or "historians" you like on youtube (or any other social media) ?
Is he an international/english speaking one or local ? I was on yahoo answers and someone said they where sexually attracted to God and asked if it was normal. So i google searched the subject and it turns out a lot of people(believers) are sexually attracted to God.
Is this normal(or okay)? I started casually watching some YouTube videos about philosophy in general. I'm not putting much effort into understanding them, just something to do when I have a bit of free time in the evening. One thing that strikes me though is that it's all very vague. Despite all that thinking, there are no specific conclusions, no answers. Seems like there's no "2+2=4" of philosophy, everything is up to debate, and the audience is expected to just pick something they like and start having discussions. There seem to be no fundamental truths that everyone would agree upon, and every claim can be challenged.
On one hand, this gives an impression of flexibility, but on the other... a sense of complete uselessness? To me, it looks like this is an entire field of studies that seems to have all the reasons to exist, but at the same time fails to produce even a single piece of actual knowledge. A scientific fact we could rely upon. Or am I missing something? Let's settle this once and for all. What race were the ancient Egyptians? tradcaths are protestants in denial >Uncaring if we live or die
>Provides an ethereal energy just by existing
>Creates and destroys life without thought
>Can exert its chaotic influence randomly, destroying advanced technology
>Being in its influence for too long will literally give you cancer
>Gazing at its true form will render you blind
>Literally made of explosions
>Will one day swallow the earth whole in its death throes
Sounds like an eldritch god to me Are there any good ww2 documentaries that arent completely sensasionalized where its like
*dun dun* and the gun was an absolutely massive *gordon ramsey violin sound* 20 meters long *dramatic music cut* and it absolutely destroyed *action music picks up again* churchills puckered asshole. And here is a random cunt to tell you all about how churchill would lubricate his asshole to counters hitlers gun
Okay besides the silliness you get what i mean, i just want interesting information in documentary delivery without the overhyping british voice Why does Islam claim to be the religion of all prophets but they only ever talk about one and call him THE prophet >open israeli history book
>see picture of ryan gosling and auschwitz on the same page
ah yes, it's kino time >Any man here call me bastard and I'm pulling my cock out!! >orthodox christian
>small population
>strong central government
>no access to internet
>majority of people live in settled agrarian communities as substinence farmers
>cities and town are centered around a local church
Are eritreans the closest modern day people to living a medeival life? 
Muslim thugs, criminals and rapists ALL without exception fast Ramadan and get at least some of their prayers in and attend the mosque on Fridays. They all go on Umrah and Hajj. They are responsible for sickening crimes but still manage to fulfil the most basic acts of worship. And celebrating Eid is still a huge deal for Muslim thugs. All drug dealing, raping, fraud, etc is postoponed for Eid.
In contrast we find Catholic thugs like the Mafia, the IRA and the Mexican cartels don't really have much religious devotion. They pay lip service to the faith and they pay lip service to Jesus, they may have a religious tattoo or something, but outside of that they do not do anything which shows they are men concerned with acts of worship and religion.
When a Muslim thug gets sent to prison, the prison service is under orders to provide with him with a Quran, a halal food menu, and a clean place to pray. When a Catholic thug enters prison there are no real requirements he will demand in respect of his faith. >Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
>Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech. >Going too see a movie in theater and giving Jewish satanic pedo hollywood your money
>Watching the Movie online Illegally for Free
Which is Best Moral Option for a Christian? two weeks (tm) until patriots day. How will you be celebrating? Why was Imperial Japan like this? The Holy Spirit is the Genius (Roman) of Jesus. I can square that part of the trinity.
But how are God the Father and God the Son the same or coequal? And how is that monotheistic?
I can accept that Jesus is the Son of God like Heracles and Dionysus are.
I can cede that the Son of God was sacrificed for mankind and ressurected and thus now divine.
The only way I can make it make sense is that God the Father is the Heavenly essence of God while God the Son is the Earthly essence of God.
I dunno, I need help with this Why are spite and hate the strongest emotion?
Whats rhe evolutionary advantage? Go on religious people. See if you can argue your way back from this. Is there any chance Abraham's body is actually in there? Or any remains dating to around the 18th century BC? 
Art is the composition of aesthetically similar and functionless-in-isolation / purposeless material from reality in order to convey the existence of a metaphysics, a set of rules defining what is permissible. By doing so art achieves to become a purposeless object of its own with no inherent function other than to be, which allows art to be the purposeless components of ever greater and more complex art.
Aesthetics meaning that which is related to the perceptible nature of things.
Metaphysics meaning laws that define what is and what isn't permissible.
Art pieces are autonomous realities with metaphysical laws established by the aesthetical similarity of the components, as a result these components appear as events of that reality. By "event" I merely mean that there are things that exist in a context.
The way humans use art is to convey values and emotions by recreating reality and depicting realities where things are as they could be, or should be, or shoudln't be, or merely that things are in a particular way so that we may contemplate them.
