>Empress of India
What did she mean by this?
>>1396739
All those who ruled in India honorarilly submitted to her.
>>1396739
Wanted to be more than just "queen", also wanted to cuck numerous existing Indian kingdoms at the same time
>>1396739
Because her daughter would become Empress of Germany and the Brits couldn't stand having her get a higher title than her mother.
Apart from places like Ethiopia, Africa was probably always doomed to succumbing to european colonization due to the insurmountable technology gap. But what could India and China have done differently that could have prevented them from suffering the same fate?
>>1396727
United so that foreign powers didn't play them off against each other.
Europe's ascent just happened to coincide with the major empires in both India and China (Mughals and Qing respectively) entering periods of decline. In previous eras they might have bounced back stronger after an initial period of unrest, but this time there was a strong, hungry and most importantly, maritime culture (western europe) there to take advantage of their moment of weakness
>>1396727
It's hard which ever countries industrialized first have such an unbelievable advantage over other countries. It really isn't even close, so unless they could industrialize first which is unlikely (maybe China could). Now they couldn't surpasse the Europeans but United and strong China and India would be able to make any European occupation too much cost to be worth it even in our timeline.
Isn't "maturity" essentially just a form of slave morality?
Why is slave morality bad, are you like a moralist or sum' m?
Not necessarily. There are plenty of qualities related to maturity that are useful for an independent and self reliant man, like the ability to control emotions and the capacity to chose delayed gratification. Even general acceptance of things that can't be changed.
>>1396703
no. But I just don't take it to heart when I am called immature. I think there is a certain authenticity in immaturity which is lost in the self-imposed spooky idealization and self-delusion of adulthood. Am I supposed to be really impressed by your attempt t tell yourself your not a cockroach by spending your precious time building a shack in Africa that you would deign to live inside of for a month? Adults are basically ugly chldren that can dissimulate.

anyone else think WW2 has made people so fucking stupid? plebs find a way to turn anything into a stupid morality sermon if they can just say 'omg just like the nazis!'

Nobody does this.

How accurate is it to describe Portugal as an African Kingdom?
Epic meme XD

Portugal is neither African, nor a kingdom, nor "the"

Did the majority of the "proletariat" actually enjoy living under communism or were they just terrorized into submitting to their bleak existence under their new masters? Obviously I'm talking about the average working class member of these societies, not the intellectual elites and nomenklatura. Correspondingly, did the elites themselves actually care about the welfare of their proletarian subjects or were they just interested in their own status and wealth?
bump pls
>>1396531
In Eastern Bloc countries that enjoyed some degree of independence from the Soviets like Hungary, communism provided a decent standard of living. Stasi aside, East Germany was also well of compared to the average Soviet aligned republic.
I've taught immigrants from China who told me that back home they couldn't even read a newspaper because every word is a lie and their blood would boil, so they just stopped following the news. I'd imagine it was something like that in the USSR.
Who are some people on the wrong side of history? Ill start with the obvious.... I cant even try to justify this mans actions. What an insensitive barbarian.

"We come to Iraq with respect for its citizens, for their great civilization and for the religious faiths they practice. We have no ambition in Iraq, except to remove a threat and restore control of that country to its own people."
Is Shi'ism just a heavily Zoroastrian-ized version of Islam?
No. At least, not originally and not intentionally.
People in heavily shi'a areas tend to celebrate zoroastrian-derived stuff like norouz just due to pre-existing persian influence in those areas. I can see some people mistaking this for shi'ism itself having that influence.
Its a political divide you orientalist christian retard

No.
Is there a difference between freedom and liberty?

You shouldn't include the satire picture from the Onion's Today Now segment in that picture. It's misleading as it leads people to believe that it's real like the other images.

Why did labor unions (and the working class in general) lose so much support among the general public after the 1960s? Why did both the left and the right start demonizing unions and their members? Was it effective propaganda against them or were unions themselves also at fault for the change in perception?
>>1396327
The left didn't. The center-right and far-right liberals demonized unions because they're a problem for business and, in that respect, government. Unions lost power because the government and capitalists with the blessing of government actively sabotaged them and murdered their leaders, forcing them to fold or to recapitulate to reformist models.
Over time, the leadership of the unions sold out and got in bed with the capitalists they were supposed to be struggling against. This led to unions becoming impotent, as important decisions usually get made by the leadership, and when the leadership has that conflict of interest, it led to strikes not getting approved, bargaining for better wages and conditions stagnated, etc. Then after decades of that, people started realizing "hey, what the fuck is this union shit, where I pay dues but I get nothing out of it?" and that's how both the left and right, and the...

Agree with this, and add that big American unionized industries like automotive had issues competing with foreign manufacturing imports from places like Japan and Germany. The Republicans had always been fairly antagonistic towards unions, but they ramped it up during the 1970s and 1980s. It was easy for the Republicans to say, "look, we are getting killed by foreign competitors and our lazy unions are holding us back!"
Democrats failed to mount a defense of unions in the face of Republican attack,...

To leave the Jehovah's with a big bang. This is Absolutely responsible if it comes to:
-Towards God
-Towards family members. It can influence the shunning
-Towards other members

I think also to
- Not members of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Last but not least.
I think it looks blessed. Judging from the OP .gif
Maybe get a little encouraged for it by listening to this. By turning the pictures away al little. Or changing the tab. After knowing what is in it.

What does /his/ think of this man? Al Maarri.

Seems pretty based to me. From skimming his wikipedia page he looks like if r9k had the motivation to write something about their misery.

What does /his/ think of the conspiracy theory that Tito was Herman Goering?
Supposedly when Tito visited his home town of Kumrovac none of his family recognized him. Even one of his brothers who was blind said he did not recognize Tito's voice.
It is also claimed that during Tito's last days in Ljubljana hospital he spoke German exclusively.
Tito also spoke servo Croatian with a weird accent literally nobody recognized or understood.
Could Tito have been Goering all along? Discuss.
Too old
Goering was a opiate addict
Goering had noticeable injuries.
>>1396185
I honestly cant tell the difference between their two faces, they look identical to me
Bait thread but whatever. I'm pretty sure someone would have noticed Goering going to Yugoslavia at anytime between the 1920s when he was helping Hitler and all the way to 1946 when he was in Allied detention.
He may had had an IQ of 1938, but being Reichsminister in Berlin and partisan leader in some mountain hideout in the NDH at the same time is to much even for him.
But the idea of Tito not being "Tito" has been floating around since the late 1990s.
It's claimed the real Josip Broz died in captivity in Russia and after the soviets took...

Is there any cultural reason why some sins like a gluttony simply ignored by religion, but other one like the homosexuality are hated with a passion? Isn't the first one is more prevalent and dangerous to the individual who would day being fat and shit?
Because it's more prevalent it's more difficult to find people to agree/promote in such a grand scale gluttony, and of the sins is the more accessible one in a way.
And in old times I don't know if excessive eating to the lengths we know was even possible.
Its use most have come over the idea of teaching people to ratio their food.
Because everyone can be gluttonous, but not everyone is a homosexual. People would much rather (they love to) look at another group and shout at them than to look at themselves.
>>1396184
If a glutton publicly proclaimed that gluttony is a virtue like faggots do with homosexuality I would hate those fatasses just as much.
