Why do you think there are so many Germans philosophers? Is there something about Germany or Germans that make them such great thinkers? And why did this become so big in the 1800s and early 1900s? To name a few German philosophers we have
>Schopenhauer

>Hegel
>Ludwig Wittgenstein

It certainly makes up for their lack of literature (before 1850).

Why is the Taiping Rebellion almost forgotten about in the west? It was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history and it's almost never brought up. Plus the idea of a Christian state in China ruled by a guy who thinks he's god second son is just insane.

>20-30 million dead
>(best estimate)
How the fuck have I never heard about this?
>>73622
Because at that point in time Western thoughts on the Qing had a complete reversal and the Chinese were considered backwards and unimportant. The mindset still stands today, which is why no one can have a decent Eastern history thread on this board without some anon jerking off to alleged western superiority.

It just another example of the British fucking everything up in the east desu
Let's talk about planes. Talk about cool planes. Talk about your favorite planes. Talk about funny looking planes. Talk about important planes. Talk about pilots. Talk about air force commanders.

Favorite pilot is probably Hans-Joachim Marseille. Got drunk a lot, boned lots of bitches, shot fools down like it was nothing. Oh, and he liked listening to degenerate Afro-Judeo swing.
>>73564
Just read this shit, absolutely zero fucks given by this madman
>Marseille demonstrated his lack of respect for the Nazi elite during his visit to Germany in June–August 1942. Marseille was a gifted pianist and was invited to play a piece at the home of Willy Messerschmitt, an industrialist and designer of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter Marseille had achieved so much success in.

Why is it that Europe - and its peoples - have delivered the overwhelming majority of progress to human civilisation?
More geniuses and higher testosterone levels in white people.
>>73468
The real, unbiased answer - the Caucasian race developed in the Middle East and spread out into Europe, while some states in the Middle East. This racial type is known as Western Cro-Magnon. The whites that remained in the Middle East developed agriculture, the one true key to civilization. This is why all advanced cultures either came from the Middle East or had extensive contact with them. Here are some examples; Rome, Greece, Persia, Mesoptomania, Egypt, etc. etc. Even Britain owes its success to its Neolithic invaders...

Are there any other historical figures who turned out to be drug addicts?
>>72669
Addiction is not real, many historical figures used drugs we now consider "addictive" but simply did not have the culture of helplessness to justify their character weakness as a disease.
