The peace movement during the Vietnam war is a prime example of the effectiveness of altruism. Through pacifism and good-will ideology, the movement appease the majority and render North Vietnam a political victory over the US.
What are some major historical events where moral righteousness turn the tide of the circumstances? How will modern value can be used to affect future conflicts, and what are some other ways it can be exploited?

Everything is done for the self, even if it doesn't seem that way on the surface.

while that is true and not necessary real. The concept of salvation is still alive in through civilization.

The 1st Islamic invasion of Europe, with the victory of the Christians in the 1st Crusade, is the only one that comes to mind.

At least she fucked some decent looks into that inbred bloodline. Rude btw.
I feel for William and the other one.
No one should lose their mother that early. And her being the most famous person of the decade didn't help either.
Could you imagine all the question they get asked about her on a daily basis?
I find it amusing that the media were all over her for being an adulterous whore, then as soon as she died they treated it as the worst tragedy ever.
I don't know if it's because I was too young to remember before their marriage failed, but I never understood the fuss.
Are conditions and diagnoses like social anxiety real?
>>1379068
Define real.
Also anxiety is a physiological reaction, not a behavior, so your picture is retarded.
>>1379068
Your pic is a behavioral paradigm, so it's literally an opinion.
And of course they're real (without going into existentialism) as they can be measured through brain chemicals and activities.
However, there's a recent emphasis on culture in psych, so what's a real problem in one society is not in another.
>>1379068
Depends what you mean by "real."
This is a huge problem in both psychiatry and philosophy of the mind, alongside the lack of concrete definitions of what we mean by "mental" and "disorder."
The only thing everyone seems to agree on at the moment is that the current method based on the DSM is arbitrary crap.
Does anyone have a link to the red flower thread? It had some really good stuff but I can't find it in the archive.

He was no meme, but he was dank.
Life gave him a hammer, and he hit those nails good.
I am sure that if he were given a scalpel, he'd perform fine sugary.
Yes, very much so
Was there something inherent in Latin societies that made it easier for Rome to conquer it's empire. Did they have a more efficient in its agricultural system, or was it a more martial culture. If Rome hadn't risen to its great heights could another Latin city do the same. What I am asking is the system that Rome set up unique to itself or were there similar cities in the area that would have risen had Rome not absorbed.

"Military strategy hinges on innovation and surprise."
>>1378808
Add to that public support and the resources at hand, and I agree. (Do not feel it is necessary to say why)
>>1378808
Military conflicts tend to be decided on who can bring more resources to the area of conflict for an extended period of time. If I can bring ten times as many men I can lose twice as many men as you and still be very successful.

What's a good introductory overview of the Roman empire that isn't fucklong?
Pic related has been getting great acclaim, but it stops around Caracalla.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire
Veni.Vidi.Vici by Peter Jones is a very basic overview of the Roman Empire until the separation. Chapters are about a page each and the whole things is about 300 pages.
It's pretty basic so read it and then buy more books on more specific topics, e.g. Caesar in Gaul or the Punic wars

History of Rome podcast is pretty good, it's a relatively long series but each episode is only 30 minutes.
I know there are those here who thinks that white people are in most ways superior to other races, whenever it be about morals, thinking or organization. Are there people here who, outside of trolling, thinks the opposite is true thoug? That white people somehow enslaved, wared and genocided worse than other races factoring in the differences of conditions and time?
I am not going to say I support any side, I am just curios in finding out.
>>1378438
I'm sure that one of the many people on here believe that, yes. Or they could be trolling.
>>1378438
Afrocentrism is an incredibly popular movement, OP.
Literally "WE WUZ KANGS".
>>1378438
No one unironically thinks the white man be keeping a brother down. At least not on a site like this where """racist""" facts can't be censored.
since there's no /his/ archive (ironic) and I can't find the book recommendation thread from a couple months ago, I'm making a new one
going to start with a great and informative read, The Gulag Archipelago
>The Gulag Archipelago is Solzhenitsyn's masterwork, a vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators and also of heroism, a Stalinist anti-world at the heart of the Soviet Union where the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair. The work is based on the testimony...

If Neanderthals domesticated the mammoth instead of killing it, could they have turned the tide against the homo sapiens sapiens invaders?
