So how many people here actually speak/read Latin, Koine or Attic Greek, Sanskrit, Old English, shit like that?
Daily reminder that if you can't read the primary sources of your area of study in its original language you are the fucking definition of a plebeian
Ok
>>476609
One may think that someone vindicating languages in general and Latin in particular would be able to use the word "plebeian" correctly.

When did modern philosophy become such a joke?
Since people started using ad-block plus.

When money grabbing narcissists like Zizek became the norm
when it stopped being a boy's club
Why is Evola so popular nowadays?
I don't get his fans either. He seems to be popular with authoritarian types but he's about as anti-fascist as you can possibly get.
>>476687
Was he the guy that wrote Ride the Tiger?
God that was fucking shit.

Pareto is better. Read Pareto.
He taps into something many people are realizing about history.
If french fucks like Foucault are right, that everything is political, then history can never be genuine. It will instead be argued over and reconstructed and lied outright about.
This is mythic history. Evola only saw that how you view history is more important than what actually happened.
If thinking you came from a hyborean race that founded Atlantis makes your life more heroic and worth living then believe it; don't let your brain be cucked by PC revisionist history that tries to...

What would it take for us to see a technological leap forward on the scale of the Industrial Revolution? May we see one in our lifetime? May it even ever happen again?
Ignore the meme chart.
>that meme pic
Really, shoot yourself.
>"ignore the meme chart"
>he thinks I'm going to ignore his meme chart
I would like to congratulate you on the accuracy of that chart.
is it true that people in the stone age had better life quality than people in the middle ages?
>>471681
I don't know about middle ages, but there are pretty hard evidences that hunter & gatherers lived better than first farmers.
>>471681
Define quality of life
>>471681
Define
The social classes and the exact period of the middle ages.
Anyways consider that the average medieval guy in Western Europe probably lived better the average Italian during Roman rule.
Why did the charismatic future leader of Germany have such a poor war record. Sure he got his Iron Cross, but he never made corporal. You'd think a nations leader would be at least a Captain? Even in this picture he doesn't look like much of a leader.

Hitler was actually a puppet. Heinrich Himmer was the one pulling the strings.
Apparently he was autistic as fuck until the end of the war. The mustard gas attack he received in 1918 was what supposedly removed the betaness out of him and allowed him to become the most powerful man in the world. Shit I'd take the risk of mustard gas if it bumped up my charisma like that.
>>472787
Heinrich Himmler was even more autistic than Hitler. He was the complete opposite of the "ubermensch". Only because he was friends with Hitler he was able to keep his job. Just look how pathetic he looks. The Russian prisoner on the other side of the fence looks more capable.
Alright, so I'm an Austrian-American (no muh heritage shit, parents came here in the 80s) and have absolutely no knowledge of German WW2 units but I've recently had a conversation about WW2 shit with my mom and she told me that her grandfather served in the SS and told me she only remembered this patch she saw at her old place in Salzburg. I did this shitty drawing with her help and as you can see it's basically those 2 crossed drumsticks or whatever the fuck that's supposed to be and I'd love to know if anyone here knows the name of the unit who used...

Why were Vikings so fucking shit?
>>475779
Honestly vikings were pretty good, not nearly as great as pop culture makes them out to be. But the reaction against them on /his/ is equally inaccurate.
They accomplished some impressive things, they lost in a lot of spectacular ways. But at the end of the day shitty warriors don't make history.
>>475779
because other than raping, pillaging and killing innocent people they contributed exactly zero shit to the whole cultural progression of Europe. Even upon 'discovering' the new world, they left it uncolonised and frightened of indigenous people.
>>475901
No other group in the Early Middle Ages colonized America either.
And yes, Norsemen did much to change and influence northern Europe, and even then through Varangians and Normans effected all corners of Europe.
The North Germanic languages survived where East Germanic did not.
Why is the french individual portrayed seemingly as an african?
Please no bait answers, its actually quite puzzling.
For reference this is the personification of 4 peoples of the Holy Roman Empire offering gifts to Otto.
>>473682
I think it's a stylistic choice. Note the alternating colors.
>>473692
Word.
'Skin color' didn't have the weird connotations of indicating supra regional biology as it did post 1600.
>>473732
You shouldn't generalize
What would Africa be like today if colonialism never happened? Were any regions rising to developing nation status?
impossible to say
>>472854
lol no black ones. arabs and berbers sure.

lol no the closest thing was the Zulu empire but that was pretty underdeveloped in its own right
How do holocaust believers explain the rapid changing death toll in Majdanek? It started as 2 mill then dropped more and more. In 1975 the claim was 1,38 mill death and that dropped to 360.000 in 1991. In 2005 that dropped even more to 78000 and it should also be noted that many of these gas chambers that was claimed to be a gas chamber is no longer claimed to be a gas chamber today. Also with every drop the total death toll is still 6 million somehow

The total number of victims is controversial, beginning with the research of Judge Zdzisław Łukaszkiewicz dating back to 1948, who gave the figure of 360,000 victims.
>>466760
I am trying not to make it into a picture dump side like holocaust threads normally turn into (that might be the reason why some of these threads get removed people just spam the same pictures without adding anything new) I just want to know more about the Majdanek death tolls and the story about how many of these gas chambers that are no longer claimed to be a gas chamber anymore

What are some /his/ approved anime?
Junketsu no Maria
Rose of Versailles
Kingdom

>>457031
Can't think of any. Even LOTGH is not really /his/ related.
On the other hand you might wanna look at mangas like Cesare and Historie.

Oh also Otoyomegatari. There also was a shoujo about the persian empire, but I haven't read it and I don't remember the title.
Has anarchist thinking ever been influential in history? I mean, has it ever managed to accomplish the establishment of successful societies or anything like that? I read somewhere that most revolutions were fought by anarchists. How true is that?
Anarchists can also be people like the Columbine shooters. They also do a lot of bad shit.
>>476420
>anarchism
>stirner
>>476420
are you confusing the Individual Anarchism INSPIRED by Stirner with the more Socialist Anarchism proposed by Proudhon, Kropotkin and Bakunin, if you are then tell me and then maybe we can talk
>aryan
what the fuck did he mean by this
ethnicity? race? language group? a certain dna sequence?
>>472459
You can't really apply science to it because it wasn't. Racial biology was a psuedoscience that many european states accepted in the early 20th century.
It was the idea that within humanity, there were many different races.
>>472466
how exactly was aryan defined though.
>>472470
like the other anon pointed out already, it was a pseudoscience.
Germanics were considered aryans, as long as they did fit in the given dimensions, like height, hair colour, nose lenght, eye spacing and so on.
They even had certain Tiers of Aryans, for those who were of Germanic heritage, but for example brunettes or manlets.
Also not being related to a jew was mandatory and other admixtures also lowered your "Aryanism".
It's hella complex BS desu.
What caused the rampant homophobia and misogyny so prevalent in Jamaican culture ( especially in dancehall music ) not seen elsewhere?
Is it wrong to enjoy work featuring homophobic and misogynistic lyrics while advocating feminism and LGBT+ rights? ( I wouldn't spend a dollar on it though. )
Go be a whiny bitch elsewhere.
>>469144
>asking a question is being a whiny bitch
This is also really relevant to another question I have:
Dancehall music frequently is very... sensual and flamboyant, all the while being against that. Why is this?
Buju is the best.
Funnily enough, The Guardian says that enjoying Dancehall (which everyone should) is probably the best predictor of hating gays in Jamaica which is hilarious (source: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jun/06/jamaica-music-anti-gay-dancehall-homophobia )
I don't know what the real cause is but Africans are some of the most statistically homophobic people on the planet and it would surprise me if Jamaica's experience with the subject isn't linked to whatever causes it in Africa as well.
