The government is more or less forced to allow the KKK to exist because "muh free speech and assembly" and all that.
But why hasn't anyone just decided to shoot up a Klan rally? What reasonable jury would convict a man who kills Nazis in order to protect America?
Vigilantism is illegal because you're supposed to let the police and the courts take care of those things (muh due process) but in this case the government certainly is not going to do anything at all. The KKK is allowed to exist because the Constitution exists. Shouldn't American...

A jury that believed in the rule of law?
A jury of "their" peers?

Because attacking them is giving them what they want: confrontation. Far better it is to inflict the greatest insult one can upon an enemy: to be ignored.
When did freedom of speech become a strictly right-wing/lolbertarian meme?

They never really had much impact on the world beyond Cambodia and its immediate neighbors, which is why it tends to be under-appreciated except as a tourist attraction.
Angkor really was one of the most impressive cities in the pre-modern world though, if not the most impressive of all. All we see now is the bare skeleton of the city and it's still incredible.

Does /his/ have a coherent explanation for why Africa has simply underachieved in terms of culture and historical impact? At least sub-saharan Africa?
Not a /pol/ thread I swear, but I'm not incapable of accepting coherent 'racist' explanations.
>>721294
Lack of contact with Eurasia. Ideas flow from place to place which is how civilization spread out of the fertile crescent. Unfortunately for Sub Saharan Africa, they have been largely isolated until colonization with Islam only playing a pivotol role in some areas. The Horn of Africa did havr contact but not enough due to geography.

Was the "decolonization" of Africa a good idea? Didn't native Africans live better under European control?

Yes, however it was all the things that followed after the decolonization that ruined things.
Since this board (generally) ranks Taoism as the best religious belief can anyone convince me as to why this is the case?
I highly doubt anybody on this board has a solid grasp of Taoism.

people don't know that much about Taoism.
Taoism in a nutshell: Don't cum. Fuck a lot of virgin girls. Eat a lot of peaches. Don't fucking cum! muh nature and shit. Gimme summa dat immortality, nigga. Do not freaking cum.

Did foreign powers supported any side in the American Civil War, oficially or unofficially?
I'm especially interested to know towards what side the sympathy of UK, France, Spain and Mexico was.
>>719705
I heard Mexico was pissed because they wanted American aid against France or something during the time we were fighting each other. It was somewhat confusing why we'd want to kill each other instead of helping them remove baguette from new world.
The UK and France's governments were leaning toward the Confederacy but their population was pro Union.
The big supporter of the Union in Europe was Russia.
>>719750
Was there a real reason for that? I know Russia was storing ships in New York during the war, but how friendly were their relations with the Union and why?
Is this why Japan was in WWII?

Explain yourselves Catholics. Why do you worship graven images and eat your own God? Sounds awfully pagan to me.
Catholics invented the term pagan.
Let's consider Joshua of Nazareth - Jesus - for a moment.
We have here, allegedly, the son of a being who was able to impregnate a woman without ever having sex with her. Nowadays, we'd call that in-vitro fertilization, but what if the real method was even more insidious? What if, for example, the father of Jesus was a spore-based lifeform with the ability to take on genetic aspects of its host, resulting in a human/fungi hybrid?
Suppose this hybrid had some odd qualities. (Odd for a human, at any rate.) What if he (it?) could detach parts of himself...

That's nice, but they didn't invent paganism.
