Board: /his/

"/his/ - History & Humanities" is 4chan's board for discussing and debating history.

Welcome to /his/ - History & Humanities
Herodotus
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.

We will define "winning the Cold War" as either the US or USSR collapsing and a new, smaller and weaker country forming in its place, or 70% of the "developed" world (changing as more places become developed) joining your side. Obviously, the US won the Cold War. But could the USSR have played its cards differently, and won?

Liberal egalitarian philosophy could accept pro life as a part of its moral system but doesnt. Why does it not?

With liberal progressivism it is concerned with egalitarianism and for the less fortunate and helpless. Human who are still in the womb would seem to be a protected class that people would seek to support with this ideology but they do not. Why is being pro choice so important and has basically no infighting among those progressives? It seems like an issue that could have debate among those progressives but it is a key belief that you don’t see any it seem disagree with.

Why do people not understand that the Middle East in Christ's time was nothing like it is today? I constantly see /pol/ morons parrot "sandnigger" religion, when the areas in the new testament are virtually all Greek settlements that were in turn taken over by the Romans (they would at least know the latter if they even bothered reading the bible). The only non-europeons in the book are the Semitic tribes, Arabic and Asian traders, and Egyptians, which again was pre islamic rape and have about as much in common with modern-day Egyptians as the native Americans do with modern.

Why are normies incapable of understanding how cultures and people themselves inhabiting a land can change over the course of thousands of years?

Zalmoxis_Aleksandrovo
>93. ... the Getae are the bravest of the Thracians and the most just. 94. They believe they are immortal forever living in the following sense: they think they do not die and that the one who dies joins Zalmoxis, a divine being; some call this same divine being Gebeleizis. Every four years, they send a messenger to Zalmoxis, who is chosen by chance. They ask him to tell Zalmoxis what they want on that occasion. The mission is performed in the following way: men standing there for that purpose hold three spears; other people take the one who is sent to Zalmoxis by his hands and feet and fling him in the air on the spears. If he dies pierced, they think that the divinity is going to help them; if he does not die, it is he who is accused and they declare that he is a bad person. And, after he has been charged, they send another one. The messenger is told the requests while he is still alive. The same Thracians, on other occasions, when he thunders and lightens, shoot with arrows up in the air against the sky and menace the divinity because they think there is no god other than their own.

james russell mugshot
James "Sugarman" Russell met his fate in Texas's "Old Sparky" in 1991 for the brutal murder of a Houston store clerk 17 years earlier. Russell was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on March 5, 1949. Although not much is known about his upbringing, he was raised by his grandmother as we shall see below, was an amateur musician, and attended school to the 10th grade. Russell had begun committing thefts as a teenager by breaking into vending and amusement machines to steal quarters and he was also accused of rape a few times; his grandmother bailed him out of jail in one or more of these incidents. He first did actual jail time for an armed robbery in Houston in 1967 which got him 12 years in prison. He served three and was paroled in December 1971. On April 3, 1972, Russell and three accomplices drove to a Houston Radio Shack and began shoplifting items. His accomplices got outside unnoticed but Russell set off an alarm and fled.

The store manager, a 24 year old man named Thomas Stearns, would later finger Russell in the heist at the Radio Shack. It took two years for the case to go in front of a judge and Stearns never made it to the courtroom to testify. On March 19, 1974, he set off to begin his shift at work. Stearns never arrived at the Radio Shack or home that evening. Two days later his car was found abandoned by the roadside, stripped of its cassette player. No trace of Stearns could be found until April 10 when his partially decomposed remains were found on a rural area near Arcola. His personal effects were scattered around, his pants and underwear pulled down to his knees. Two shell casings and a spent slug were found as well. An autopsy of Stearns found that he'd been shot twice in the head. James Russell had been arrested for the robbery four months after it happened and sat in jail for 17 months until finally making bond in January 1974.

How do we know that the 10 commandments were meant to be intepreted literally?
mt sinai
Not trying to be a fedora here, but since most Christians tend to have a pretty liberal approach to interpreting the bible and most of the things associated with it.

How do they know that the 10 commandments part is supposed to be interpreted literally?

Why is intepreting commandments like:
>Thou shalt not kill.
>Well, unless the guy is a nonbeliever and an asshole, duh
>Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
>Well, unless it's in a good cause
etc. considered as blasphemous, while a lot of other liberal approaches towards the bible are alright?

All I see from a hundred or so years ago are Americans entertaining themselves and having a sense of humor. You try to produce these type of "coon" songs today, people will throw a fit over an innocent little song that just pokes fun at black people. No harm done here. So why is this considered an offense historically speaking? 100 years ago I would be laughing at this songs and whistling them with my friends and neighbors.

Ethics of hitting children
discipline or abuse
Is it ever acceptable to hit your child? What are some good reasons? Is it allowed for something small like getting a B in an exam, or should it be reserved for severe cases like commiting dangerous or criminal activity? Should it be a last resort, or could it be done at the first sign mistake? At what age could a parent hit a child, 4 or after puberty? How hard could a parent hit a child? Is a single slap in the face the max, or can a parent use an object like a belt or a slipper and hit them repeatedly? Or is it all just a form of abuse? Is there any proof that physical punishment is helpful or harmful to children? Are children allowed to hit their parents as well whatsoever? Why is it acceptable to hit children, who are mostly at their weakest physical state throughout their lives, but not acceptable to hit other adults like spouses? Are white parents allowed to hit their children, or is it something reserved for POCs?

I have a message for people arguing with Christians here.
Stop taking them seriously. They do not follow in Jesus’s footsteps, they are mostly just conservative Americans who are literally too stupid to read the New Testament and follow his instructions, or they’re flat out LARPing to give their ideology more apparent weight.
Every “debate” with a Christian should begin with asking them how much of their take home income they’re spending on the poor, sick and weak. And how much of their free time they spend helping the poor, sick and weak.
Not to mention they don’t even do the bare minimum of being a very pleasant, nice, considerate and caring person.
They do not believe it, they don’t get to bother you about converting.

Do Muslims not believe in the omnipresence of God? From some online sources, I get the impression that (Sunnis at least) don't believe that God is present in creation and needs to use agents like angels to interact with it. They seem to reject God's immanence, e.g. the Christian belief that you can be indwelt by the Holy Spirit is called shirk (association with God).

This seems like a really weird limitation on God, do they really teach this?

Sanskrit and Slovenian share some weird similarities

>Slovenian and Sanskrit are the only languages know, which have the grammatical number dual. What appear to be remnants of dual that are still notable in Ukrainian, and some other Slavic languages, in fact have nothing to do with the grammatical dual, the similarities are coincidental.

>The Slovenian language has six cases, three grammatical numbers (singular, dual, plural) and three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter). Sanskrit is identical with the exception that features one more case, ‘ablativ’.

The following is English| /Slovene/Sanskrit

In all practical sense, Trotskyism has been dead for generations now - there are no influential Trotskyist movements, and it has been completely sidelined by other movements in the ”mainstream” commiesphere.

Yet somehow, fringe Trotskyist movements still survive, even though they haven’t got anything done, won’t get anything done, and nobody knows them but the members themselves and people with interest in following fringe politics for laughs. So, how the fuck to they sustain themselves to survive even on the fringe? What pulls new members in?

christianity killed itself
Screenshot 2024-04-30 at 23-35-40 morality - Google Search
i think nietzsche was a shizo who contradicted himself constantly but he really was onto something with the whole slave morality thing

Here's how I see it:
>back in the day the popular concept of morality was more or less "might makes right"
>then christianity came along and popularised the idea that actually, the poor guys toiling in the fields are the good guys and the cunts lording over them are the bad guys
>over the next 2000 years this gets widely adopted
>at some point it reaches a breaking point, where it is so widely adopted that it becomes the norm and no longer something unique to christianity (and i suppose islam) but rather the general cultural zeitgeist (it got imported to china via communism and to japan via americanising their culture, colonialism everywhere else basically)
>christianity now eats itself because this kind of framework is fundamentally incpmpatible with most of the rest of it

How am I doing so far? Does this idea have any legs?

Think about it, if you accept the idea that the oppressed are the victims and the oppressors are the villains fundamentally, but you don't view it through a christian lense and thus aren't willing to grant 100% unjustified exceptions like "except it's okay when god does it" or "except the souls in hell, fuck them", christians seem like the most hypocritical and tyrranical ones of them all. It's like pretending to be some paragon of democracy talking about universal sufferage but then finishing it with "except kim jong un he should be unelected dictator for life and make all the rules on a whim".

Thoughts?

>Gradually the resistance of the Nazis came to naught, and the Soviet fighters managed to break through to the roof. On the dome of the defeated Reichstag rose the red flag, which was hoisted by the scouts of the 756th Rifle Regiment, sergeant Mikhail Egorov and junior sergeant Meliton Kantaria, led by the deputy commander of the battalion on political part, lieutenant Alexei Berest under the cover of machine gunners from Ilya Sayanov's company.

Would the Jap population actually fight fanatically?
ezgif-3-c780c8925b
i see a lot of people saying that the entire Japanese population would fight to the death if Op. Downfall was given the green light, but am I wrong in saying that all previous encounters of Japanese civilians meeting Allied forces during the war don't back up that claim?

Jap civilians really didn't do much fighting whenever they were caught up in combat prior to the surrender. On Saipan all the jap civilians jumped off cliffs right in front of the Marines but they didn't fight. in Manchuria in '45 all the Jap civilians either fled, ACKed themselves or were passively herded into captivity by the Russians. All of that famed neva-surrenda Jap martial spirit was more or less confined solely to the Jap army and navy. Jap civilians seemed to be entirely as unwilling concerning their willingness to actually fight as French or British civilians.

I would actually argue that the only major combatant nation of WWII whose civilians had any stomach for fighting were the Soviets. There was a huge Soviet guerilla movement that made life miserable for the Wehrmacht's rear areas and untrained Soviet factory workers formed makeshift militias and charged at/got mulched by advancing Germans by the tens of thousands in the first year of the war.

Jews don't have the same weird moral quandaries towards their God as Christians do because Jews have already accepted long ago that God is egotistical and idiosyncratic and is capable of either making mistakes or simply making decisions that humans will never understand. Christians kind of shot themselves in the foot by trying to pretend that God is some flawless infallable being because their God up to the same exact bait atheists use like the Epicurean Paradox. The Jewish God is much closer to the Greco-Roman Gods in this regard

Americans did not strap their helmets on in WW2 because they believed their neck would snap if they got shot in the helmet or were near an explosion while it was strapped on

>In World War II, the United States wasn't fielding a professional, all-volunteer army. The soldiers who fought in North Africa, Europe and the Far East were largely drafted. Since the U.S. was also not the well-developed and well-connected country we know it as today, these conscripts were experiencing a lot for the very first time.

>Since operational security was also paramount during the war, they weren't told a lot about what they were doing or why: They knew what they needed to know. Because they were all deployed American troops, the gaps in their knowledge were filled with -- you guessed it -- rumors.

>The rumor mill was hard at work in World War II, because information was hard to get, enemy disinformation was rampant and sometimes they didn't know better. Rumors spread about women in Army service being property of Army officers and those officers could have their way with them, that no ships survived Pearl Harbor or that Japanese troops were mailing the eyes of the dead back to American homes. None of that was true.

>Your grandpa wasn't unstrapping his helmet to look cool. He and other GIs heard that strapping their chins to their manganese-steel M1 helmet would make their head pop back and their neck snap amid artillery bursts or close, upward explosions. They thought the force combined with the weight of the helmet was enough to pop them right off.

european-leaders-munich-agreement-1938
Those who invoke Munich rarely understand what really took place back in 1938. Contrary to the subsequent mythology, Chamberlain was neither naive about Hitler nor unaware of the dangers posed by Nazi Germany. Among other things, he backed Britain’s efforts to rearm during the latter half of the 1930s. He did not think Britain was ready for war, however, and saw an agreement at Munich as a way to buy time for British rearmament to proceed. He hoped that the deal reached at Munich would satisfy Hitler and ensure peace in Europe, but if it didn’t work, Britain (and France) would be in a better position to fight when war eventually came.

He was correct: Britain and France had larger forces in the field than Germany did by the spring of 1940, and their rapid and unexpected defeat in the Battle of the Low Countries was due to failures of strategy and intelligence, not a lack of tanks, troops, or aircraft.

Furthermore, taking a harder line in 1938 would not have stopped Hitler from starting the war. We now know that Hitler himself was deeply disappointed by the outcome at Munich, as he had been hoping for a casus belli, and Chamberlain’s diplomacy denied him the opportunity that he craved to crush Czechoslovakia militarily. German officers opposed to the invasion might have ousted Hitler had he ordered an attack, but there is no guarantee that such a plot would have succeeded even if it had been tried. The uncomfortable truth is that Hitler was bent on going to war sooner or later, and a different outcome in 1938 would not have prevented World War II.

ITT: Historical fun facts
1711798957739692
Werewolves originate from Baltic pagan beliefs and they were originally heroic figure who protected their villages from raiders who wanted to steal their crops.

Vampires are originally Polish and they weren't bloodsuckers or evil. They were people who didn't get a Christian burial and weren't allowed in Heaven or Hell. As a result, their spirits would roam the village and largely be nuance and do thinks like start bar fights and take out large loans it couldn't to the town since they didn't bury them appropriately.

the mixture of races in Iberian colonization
images (11) (1)
We know that the cause of this was possibly the lack of Iberian women who were brought in for various reasons, but my question is something that is always credited to the Catholic church by trad "Latin" Catholics: "the church was in favor of supporting the mixing of races, unlike the evil, racist Anglos" is this really true? I generally hear this a lot from pro-miscegenation people, and especially when they are trad.
Did the Catholic Church really encourage race mixing?

Are sex crimes the most inexcusable type of crimes?
burn him
You can excuse robbery that they are desperate to live and need food or money. You can excuse drug users that they use it as a mental cope and are usually not directly harming anyone else but themselves. Arsonry, well, consider it a form of renovation. Even murder is more understandable as a means to self-defense or just eliminating the vermin of society.

But what even is an excuse to commit sexual assault or rape? Like, go jerk off to hentai or something. Or go purchase some services. Or just ask someone out who's a legal adult. Or go no fap or stay a virgin in your mother's basement for the rest of your life. Sex crimes are all about satisfying the user in the expence of traumatizing the target. There are many ways to desire yourself without harming someone else, yet it still remains as the most excused or doubted crime; we don't nearly worry about false accusations of other crimes as much.

Bashkirs = Scythians
>A full genome study by Triska et al. 2017 found that the Bashkir genepool is best described as a multi-layered amalgamation of Turkic, Uralic, and Indo-European contributions. They further argue that "this disparity between cultural and genetic affinities of Tatar and Bashkir can be attributed to a phenomenon of cultural dominance: the population ancestral to Bashkir adopted the Turkic language during Turkic expansion from the east (language replacement event)".
>A genetic analysis on genetic data of Hun, Avar and Magyar conqueror samples by Maroti et al. 2022, revealed high genetic affinity between Magyar conquerors and modern day Bashkirs. They can be modeled as ~50% Mansi-like, ~35% Sarmatian-like, and ~15% Hun/Xiongnu-like. The admixture event is suggested to have taken place in the Southern Ural region at 643–431 BC

If that's the case why did no nazi after the war try to defend himself by saying they were holiday camps? Why didn't the nazis on trial at Neuremburg just say "Oh, that? Just holiday resorts bro. With swimming pools and shit." Why did no former nazi including the many nazis who were set free, or imprisoned then freed, say they were just vacation resorts?

Thinking about stopping going to work.
wagie
I've been working there for years now but I think it might be time to stop soon. It just doesn't do it for me anymore, it's not really helping me in any way. I don't get any benefits, hasn't helped me with women, or with meeting new people and it's barely enough money at the end of the month. I'm not getting any joy out of it anymore like I used to. It also eats up too much of my time.

So yeah after waging for many years, on and off I admit, it might be time to finally call it quits and move on with my life, so my new years resolution was to quit work and just fuck everything. I won't be paying any more bills, taxes, utilities, fines, groceries or any other financial obligations. Just not going to participate anymore that's all.

Why are the Shia supported by westerners when they do all the things westerners hate about Islam?
1671382617910
The Shia are the ones pumping out legions of babies in Europe. Their mut'ah marriages produce a much higher birth-rate than Sunnis do. Check out any of the Shia marches going through London and look how many babies in strollers there are per woman.

All of a sudden your complaints about them "taking over and outbreeding the natives" are non-existent. A march of Sunni Hamas supporters barreling through London or Paris will soon see you resurrecting the "Great Replacement" rhetoric though.

The Shia permit taqiyya which you always go on and on and on about. "You're just lying mate to conceal the truth about Islam, it's taqiyya yeah". And yet Shia have taqiyya as an article of faith. It has nothing to do with Sunni's.

We also know the Shia introduced bombings into Islam. Your complaints about "Muhammadans blowing up trains and planes" all stem from the fact the Shia introduced suicide bombing. The Shia permit child marriage and relationships with children. They allow beastiality and on and on, we could go on all day here.

But you go quiet about this and try to pin it on Sunnis. Not only that you actively support the Shia in implementing such practices in European countries.

If pic related had been said by a Sunni figure you'd be spamming it across every board and every social media platform and using it against all Sunnis, just like you use grooming gangs (many of whom are Paki Shia as well) against Sunnis.
