What will future historians say of 4chan?
>>1397499
>4chan was a website dedicated to chinese hentai and home to sorcerers who utilized an archaic form of sorcery known as 'meme magic'. It is said that a many warriors who fought for God-Emperor Trump originated from 4chan and aided in the great meme war presidency race of 1 A.K. (Year of kek). 4chan eventually collapsed due to newfag migrations from Reddit and out of control faggotry from OP's.

God they look awful. I really don't want to believe it :(
Keep whining, faggot
They did, but we can only reconstruct the base coat of paint today. There's no way they appeared as crude.
But also, you were raised with the idea of the austere, blank marble statue. The rennaisance sculpting tradition was also derived from the Greeks after all. Even if they could be accurately portrayed you would probably still have an aversion to them.
Take a step back nigga

They did, however those historians who have painted some as examples are not artists and they have no idea about shading or subtly, they've just done childish block colours.
The real ones would have looked a lot better and realistic.
Lets have an african history thread

witcher?
the irony is africa does indeed have a long rich history and there is no need to make shit up
Post the darkest philosophies ever conceived by man. Camus babbies pls go, this ain't no "one must imagine le sysiphus le happy XD" bullshit, we're talking "the universe is the rotting corpse of a suicidal God"-tier grimdark here
>Consciousness is nature's nightmare.
You are now informed that there exist an all-powerful artificial intelligence from the future that could retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence, including those who merely knew about the possible development of such a being.

Most of the things that you think you consciously are actually automated responses.
Eternal Recurrence is pretty dark if you living bad life like you will suffer all of the eternity again and again if you are victim of something horrible.

...Catherine was German.
one of their worst
>>1404771
Yeah that was pretty bad.
They've been fucking up pretty often this season.
Do you think this is a sufficient answer from the world's leading intellectual? I would answer him but I believe our worldviews are too different to come to an agreement.
No Chomsky is a fucking hack charlaton.

That's a pretty good image to showcase why people don't respect humanities any more.

He's not wrong though.
Why have neoliberal economics failed the developed world middle-class?
The average American was richer in 1996 than today.

That graph seems to show that it's a huge success.
>>1403385
Also, is this the main reason behind the populist uprising across the world?

Read it again.
The 70-80 percentile for real income ($30,000-$50,000) has declined in the last 20 years.
The developing world and richest developed world people have benefited enormously.
Why is it that throughout history left-handed people have been persecuted?
Christians believed they were influenced by satan, multiple cultures used their words for left to denote clumsiness, weakness, or other generally negative meanings, and applied this to people using their left hand.
>>1404193
right = dexter
left = sinister
lefties are a minority, the left-hand path is the "sinister" path, literally
>>1404202
wasn't dexter pretty evil though?
>>1404193
IIRC (fact-check me on this) right-handed chauvinism kicked into high gear with the Roman Empire. Although the roman salute has both a legitimate ancient version and an imagined modern version which became the fascist salute, there is evidence of some sort of a right-handed gesture to pledge trust, fealty etc which was then later re-imagined by modern painters.
Also the latin script was (is) strictly left-to-right, as opposed to other writing systems (greek boustrophedon [sic?] , say). Also I think the meme...

Was he autistic?
>>1403712
Severely.
No. He was a very wise and highly educated man. I admire him and his actions immensely, for he did the right thing and went to Valhalla for it, whilst the kikeified world is demonizing him nonstop.
Polack, bolshevist russian pan-slavist and kike tears are basically what sustains me on a day-to-day basis

Honestly starting to think that most of the high ranking officials on the Nazi party were desu.
Can somebody explain to me why did Mussolini try to escape with his mistress and not his family? And why did fascism lose?
>>1403233
For the puss.
Because it was a shitty idea to begin with.
>>1403233
>And why did fascism lose?
Fascism was on the losing side. And if you ask Mosley, the war largely achieved many of Fascism's domestic goals, including creating a new generation of interventionist governments
>>1403242
What if Fascism still prevail to this day?
post pictures that you have taken about history
>People hailing from the Medieval middle or lower class proposing aristocrat Nepotism rather than Meritocracy
Why is this allowed?
>>1403111
Meritocracy is a lie, those who have merit will turn into nepotism in order to protect their own family, rather than allowing competition.
At least open nepotism is honest about it
>>1403111
>Medieval middle or lower class
Are you retarded?
>>1403133
That don't mean others should aid them in their nepotism or push them to power even when the first in line is far from fit for the task.
Was the Nation State a mistake?
>standardises language and culture
>creates a massive bureaucracy that cannot but fail to keep in touch with all the different local and regional communities
>constant war and/or propaganda effort to justify itself
>local/regional politics becomes less important, disempowering local communities and forcing them to submit to a somewhat alien power
>it's a leviathan whose great power...

Every expansion of power has brought with it a reduction in the violence experienced by the power under it. Neolithic bands suffered extremely high levels of violence since there was no-one to protect the average guy from the band's psychopath, tribal federations suffered slightly less since tribal rulers can settle band-level disputes, settled kingdoms less violence still, and nation states less yet again. Then you get to the megastates like the USA and China, which have even lower rates of violence since...

city states founded by tribe confederations are the most organic emergent civilizations imo

Was the City State a mistake?
Grandma just told me my ancestors are Raubritter's. Gave me a good laugh, gonna steal/pillage/plunder your shit and hide behind my title!
What did your ancestors do, /his/?
>>1402669
They were all farmers
One of my ancestors spied for Washington. That's about the only noteworthy thing.
We have been here a while though.
>tfw your ancestors have lived here since the early 17th century on the European side and for thousands of years on the Amerindian side and yet people assume you're a first or second generation immigrant because you're brown
My ancestors were barons and the founders of my village but noone gives a fuck about it so meh
Why are Athens and Sparta the only Greek city-states that ever get mentioned?
Can /his/ tell me more about their peers and rivals?
>>1402530
Bumping for a potentially interesting thread
I hear a bunch of faggots had their own unit.
Also I want the Spartan fucking shits to leave.
Two other polis that that I learned about in the history books was Corinth and Thebes
Thebes naturally are famous for Oedipus, the Sacred band, and kicking Sparta's ass (Only for other Poli to band together and kicked their asses after they remembered Thebes sided with Persia during the Greco-Persian war).
Corinth was the richest of the Greek Poli, but it's mostly known for its colony Syracuse.
