Will beards ever make a comeback?

Depends. Stuff like facial hair are usually just fades that are inspired by stuff like Celebrities or the military.

Say something bad about Richard 1
>>1339350
He was a shit overated king who didnt even try to rule his land, just taxed it to hell using the administration from his dad, he came home and got captured and cost every englishman a small fortune to pay his ransom. he didnt even manage to capture jerusalem while on crusade, literally the point of it, and when he came home he died to a french child
>>1339350
He was a Dick.
English hero king who never learnt to speak English
Why did slave traders buy women?
for fucc and succ
>>1339313
The traders bought them because they could sell them for shekels.
Your average noble would buy them for sex and to perform whatever tasks they were good at.

Was Josip Broz Tito really a "benevolent" dictator? Is such a thing possible?
>>1339304
>"benevolent" dictator
> Is such a thing possible?
Of Course, Tito was one of these few people which was capable to keep Yugoslavia together, he understood all these different cultures of this country. Without him civil war would start just after the end of WW2.
>>1339304
He sent tons of people to reeducation camps (Goli otok) for being pro-Stalin or just generally opposing his regime. Other than that you were generally safe if you never complained about the government or the Party.
Economy already started going to shit in the late 60s and the country pretty much continued living off loans and debts until the break up.

He had thousands killed during and after the war and many were sent to the camps, especially during the Informbiro split. He was working to develop the federation equally which meant that the less developed republics liked him more. A personality cult was developed around him (his birthday was a holiday, children would learn all sorts of stories about him in school...). His policies changed in the decades after the 50s so I would say he was a benevolent dictator in a way; as long as one didn't say anything, one...

Hispanics have nigger mentalities.
I should know I'm Hispanic and I cousins who were deported for dealing coke.Others selling weed trying to "hustle".Im a /pol/tard so I'm pro trump. If I ever told my family I would be disowned
I was smoking with them and we were talking politics and I said trump wasn't t as bad as everyone makes out.

If it takes someone that many frames to make a joke, then it's more a blog post with pictures.

LoL, so tru senpai!
This is the sort of thing people read not because they enjoy it, but because they like to think it makes them part of an intellectual circle. Let's just be clear that circle consist of 16 yo's who just experienced their first depression and discovered Nihilism.
The man I have a crush on liked this shit on FB. Keeps me sane enough from wanting him, so that's good I suppose.
Ancient texts are often filled with innacuracies, exagerations and straight up lies that the historian has to sift through and judge whether what is written is truly factual or not. Things like numbers of soldiers are often greatly inflated to be beyond belief, while perfectly believable things, like for example, Theodora's promiscuity are completely disavowed by historians and thrown out as slander by Procopius.
With that in mind, why is it that such a ridiculous statement as "Pompey got rid of literally every single pirate in the whole of the Mediterranean"...

well people also accept that Josephus statement about Jesus which we already know is forged proves Jesus existed
>>1338988
Of course he didnt get rid of every single one, but he will have reduced it enough that it wasnt a problem.
>>1338988
I don't think anyone holds to that though, he just made enough of an effort that piracy wasn't a large scale problem anymore.
Where is the Archaeological evidence for Hannibals crossing of the alps?
I'm not saying it didn't happen at all, but he lost about 32 elephants up there and 25,000~ men. Should there not be a shit load of skeletons and equipment, especially since it would be preserved in the icy conditions.
I know we do not know his exact rout over the alps but i'd have thought with the amount of tourists it gets we'd have found something by now. We found Otzi the iceman for example.
It took a long time to find the iceman. It could take a long time to find the elephants. Or, they ate them.
There is none because it's a bunch of nigger fairy tales. Do you honestly think a nig on a elephant could outsmart a Roman general on their home turf?

If this post is legit it must be a /pol/tard who has somehow fallen for Afrocentric propaganda.

Why did he fuck up so badly against the communists? Was it because the Japanese weakened his forces?
>>1338842
because his supporter America suspended the aggressive policy against the communists, for to defeat Japan was expanding the hegemony in East asia came to a first priority for America.
>>1338842
He isolated the peasants which consisted of a big majority in China.
And he failed to shake off the "LE PAWN OF THE FOREIGN DEVILS" image.
To be fair, the CCP had that problem too. Which is why the Sino-Soviet Split Happened.
The US federal government cut funding and gave it to Mao and friends after left leaning journalists painted Chiang an pals as being (more) incompetent (than they were) and that the Reds were better able to clog up the Japanese war machine.
What would happen if sub-Sahara Africa experienced an Agriculture and an Industrial revolution in ancient history?
>>1338737
It did and it started to develop civilisation, then the white man came and ruined everything. Not even a liberal white guilt fanatic, it's just the truth, west Africa was really getting going and then slavery started.
>Inb4 but they sold each other to Europeans!
Yes warring states tend to do that
>>1338748
White man was sailing and colonizing, while the niggs were just starting. Pathetic.
>>1338748
There's some truth and a lot more half truth to this post. West Africa was still up shit creek, unlike what you claim. East Africa, on the other hand, was doing well for itself. The Swahili Coast almost singlehandedly bankrolled the West Indian textile trade and built nearly all of the dhows the Arabs and Indians used to sail. Subsistence agriculture was quite the norm with Congolese or Ugandan slaves used as labor. The males of the household would then take up wage labor jobs on cross-continent caravans only...

What is the best governing ideology for creating and preserving a strong middle class in any given nation?

>Orthocucks have a literal stripper as a saint

How are these heathens considered Christian again?
What about literal prostitutes? The Catholics revere at least a few ex sluts.
*Used* to be a stripper. Don't believe everything MUH ONE TRILLION Procopious said
No sure what is wrong with blessing lots of things.
