From sea to shiniiinngg seeeeaaaaa.
I doubt this will catch on anywhere outside the US though.
Has the US actually been a "bro" with the other Anglo countries in the past or is it just an illusion and their special relationship is merely for personal gains? Documentary's about the US UK relations around 1940 seem to make me think the later.
Which leads me to my final question. Do countries ever act and help out each other for broship or is it always part of some master narcissistic strategy?

There's no such thing as friends in diplomacy. It's all about mutual benefit.

>it just an illusion and their special relationship is merely for personal gains?
Welcome to politics.
Individuals can be friends or enemies.
Nations can only be business partners or enemies.

ITT: convictions you are unable to understand in religious people
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H7s56Dotuc
People having and projecting their own internal conflict out of shear frustration in regards to the premises of their faith.
Religious people who are so docile and indoctrinated in their faith, that they fail to critically analyze the actual purpose of their religious laws, and act as if they are omnipotent rules made solely for the purpose of punishment and abstinence by a higher masochistic power.

How can you understand them if you dont accept that the source is the Old World of Mesopotamia and the Anunnaki Gods ?
Islam follows Allahu, the Moon god known as Nannar or Nanna Sin.
His Daughter is Isis, the one you know as Inanna or Ishtar, Kali or Venus.
The gods were Aliens.
Welcome to the 21st century.

Which infantry units in the ancient, medieval and reinassance periods were the most effective? I would love to know about few examples from each period. Pic unrelated.
Roman, Swiss, Swiss
>>348733
Anything decently equipped and not wallet searing recruited on masse.
>>348735
I would love to see you elaborate on this opinion.
What If everyone on /his/ had read Nietzsche?
"What If?"/Alt History threads would be gone (eternal recurrence). No Christposters would be left, nor Idealists. Leftykeks would renounce slave moralities. Utilitarians, Free Markeks, and Scientism dunderheads shot. Everyone would eat their "50 A Day" portion of fruit and an Eagle would perch atop the flag of the Ubermensch and sing the Hymn to Life.
Reading someone doesn't mean you agree with them or that everything they said is convincing or true. You're a faggot, bb.
>everyone how read Nietzsche agrees with his beta fantasies
>>348655
I didn't say anything like that. Although it's true that everyone would have to read him well for the OP to occur.
>>348656
How are any of his fantasies beta? He was the opposite. Will to health despite so much sickness. Able to accept the truth about orders of rank, slavery, etc despite having so much compassion.
Can we have a thread dedicated to Languages, specifically older ones.
Are there any good books/ works in Koine or Attic Greek?
Who /beginningtolearnlatin/ here.
>>348934
I took it years ago and decided to not major in history because i like money.
What are some good resources for Old English?
How useful is learning latin?
Outside of the common language(old english, latin, ancient greek, etc) is it practical to learn any dead language? For example, not that I want to learn it, but are there any good resources that have information of proto-slavic?
>Eurocentric history
What's /his/' opinion on this? "Just reality dude" or "muh feels say no bro"
Anti-Eurocentrism isn't about denying Europe's position in the world, it is more about moving further away from whiggish European exceptionalist narrativesand also about looking at events in a broader Eurasian and global context.
I think it gives Europeans more agency tbqh, instead of just being inheritors of some sort of driving cultural elan, there they are, literally whos cast out on the fringes of the major Eurasian trade spheres and they end up making a go of it and end up conquering vast swathes of the rest of the world. Obviously that's overly simple...

What are the essential History/Political/Philosophy books to own?
I finished pic related the other day and found it incredible.
>>348556
completely depends on your opinion in any of those subjects.
You're view of essential history reading will be informed by your political views.
And if you are remotely well thought, you're political views will be informed by your philosophical views.
You're joking...
That book was fun and interesting, but his arguments are undermined by his explicit and acknowledged choice to use Great Man theory.
Color blindness is an ideal that aims for a world where race is irrelevant, and everyone is treated equally.
The left academia claims that color-blindness causes more damage than solutions, for example, by ignoring the place of race in society. The left academia, then proposes "racial-consciousness", as a way to embrace your race and be able to detect racism.
On the other hand, color-blindness supporters claim that racial consciousness can be dangerous in a nation with latent neo-nazis
what is really racial-consciousness?
does it offer alternatives...

Bunch of loaded terms leftists have pulled out of their ass, there are a ton of similar contradictions surrounding leftist racial politics. At the end of the day race exists and everyone needs to deal with it instead of pretending otherwise anyway.

>Genes aren't real
No, it's not a spook. You can hold a gene in your hand.
Equality is however a spook.
Has command economy ever worked?
good thread
>>348394
Only during the industrialization process.
Has "free" economy ever existed, and the real concept ever worked??
Did Albert Speer really buy the Germans an extra year of fighting? How did he do that?
By designing some really cool shit

How does a nihilist react in front of friendship, love and death of a beloved one?
>>348324
A true nihilistic wouldn't be bothered obviously.
>>348326
And how does he choose to do something like eat, talk, make love etc.?
Well a reaction is just that
Not a long thought out moral philosophy
You think nihilists wouldn't feel feelings?
Was Pompey's retreat from Rome a good plan in his situation or was he doomed from the start?
Also: What would be Pompey's Rome if he won?
Pompey wasn't really a good general, he was good at utilizing the superior resources of Rome against weak enemies, see Quintus Sertorius. Caesar however was a very good general, from a start point in Gaul he pretty much reconquered Rome.
So to answer your question, yes, he was fucked from the start.
>>348182
Also, if he had won the republic would have lasted a little longer, although as Brutus put it, some other ambitious man would take Caesar place eventually, the republic, excluding based Cato, was corrupt as hell and bound to fall apart
>>348182
>Sertorius
>weak
Man Sertorius was so good that even the god-on-Earth we call Sulla didn't want to deal with him. Sertorius was eventually done in only by trickery and treason from within. Otherwise the war would've dragged on another decade or two.
We had a Pompey thread a few days back anyway.

I'm writing a research paper for my religion/anthropology class and I decided to choose Baha'i
does anybody actually know somebody who is part of this religion? Are you? What experiences and knowledge can you impart on me on the religion?
I'm writing about the history and shit but I guess I want to hear personal experiences and thoughts of the religion to gain better understanding. I just know basics of principles, focused around unity
I'll bump once and then move on if nobody replies, it's not a really common religion I get it
>>348034
its also pretty late, maybe try again in around 8 hours
Here's a bump.
Hopefully someone knows.
