/tg/.

The notion of an era is a flawed and outdated historiography. Time alone is not enough, but time and place must both be considered. I'd say my interest is more accurately stated as anthropology though. In particular, the transition from tribal mindsets to "civilized" societies of high social complexity. That happened at different times in different parts of the world.

Very original, totally unexpected. I've only read a few books on African history: King Leopold's Ghost, Dancing in the Glory of Monsters, and Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles.

Interested in anything history, really. Just limited by what I haven't had the time to get around reading yet. I sort of pity people who refuse to read anything outside one narrow subject, usually the history of their own race/country, as I think the real fun in history comes from comparing societies and kingdoms and what factors led to their different trajectories.

Depends on how we want to define the policy aim. If we say Italy wanted to become a major world player, than yes their methods didn't really change. Although the reasoning behind their policies and methods did change over time, even if the end-goal didn't. With the build-up to WW1, the Italians were just concerned with getting areas that were full of Italians that had to be liberated from foreign rule, with empire building as less of a focus. It was after Mussolini however that Italy redefined what it meant to be a great world power, and that was to have both a large colonial empire, and an equally large army. However, now instead of just places that were full of Italians under foreign rule, now it turned to areas that were historically "Italian" and for those areas to become Italian again.

tl;dr Policies and methods? Remained the same. Policy aims? Changed over time as Italy redefined what those aims were, since they definitely changed from the 1890-1918, to 1919-1945 periods.

Don't let the schooling thing hold you back. Public schooling is space filling for the most part, trying to get stupid lazy fucks to recognize at least SOME elements of history so they're not completely unaware of it. It's never meant to give you a serious understanding of any sort of history, especially since big dick vote scrounging politicians are always sticking their dicks in it to win the next election.

Really ALL school, public, prviate, college, even fucking GRAD school, is NOT about teaching YOU history. Most courses are their to give you a basic background, which you can use to study history yourself, and then as you advance, to learn how to study history, how to evaluate sources, how to be a critical thinker (as cringe-worthy of a catch phrase as that sounds it's actually true). You then USE that to start studying yourself, reading different sources, comparing them, learning from them Evaluating them. It's a process, history isn't about learning "the facts" because so often the "facts" are totally obscured to us, we have some random Greek dude telling us "oh yeah this TOTALLY happened ( before I was even born)" and that's it.

There is literally so much you can choose from it's mind boggling. Look for books that offer a general survey on historical things, broad strokes sort of thing (John Keay's histories of China and India are examples). From then you start to branch into slightly more scholarly, but still written for a general audeince books, these will be more focused on an specific things. (Inheritance of Rome, and Barbarians and Empire are examples I can pull out of my ass at this exact moment). From here you can, if you want start to move into real scholarly shit, the heavy obscure shit, like the farmining habits of late medieval greek peasants in north Thrace (ok most of it isn't that archaic) and into source documents where they are available.

And at any point, if you feel like it, sprinkle in the "classics" Thucyides, Herodtus, Anna Commene, etc etc, but understand what you're reading, and take everything with a grain of salt (this applies to EVERYTHING you read, don't be stupid and accept things at face value).

One last important thing, toss any "ideological purity" bullshit out the window before you even start. You can still be as much of an ideologue as you want, but never refuse to read something because it's contents might "Taint" your personal ideology or something.

Mostly use /int/ and /gsg/, but I havent been in the latter for about 3 months now. I'm interested in 19th century, rise of nationalism and other political ideologies troughout the world. I guess I like to talk about politics from a purely thoretical standpoint, but that just isnt possible on places like /pol/. I also enjoy 13th - 17th century weaponary and warfare, but do not know a whole lot about it.

>so /pol/ is to /his/ as Jews are to /pol/

Interesting.
>>
>>26400
After months of continuous international travel and decades of American life I have come to the conclusion that all hook-nosed people are complete garbage. They act differently and have a completely different demeanor than the rest of us. It's not just Jews. It is all hook-nosed people.

I was blind to this for most of my life. I think it was because many actors are hook-nosed and play nice people on TV and in movies. I was probably just brainwashed. Considering Hollywood is run by hook-nosed Jews I am now certain this brainwashing was deliberate on the part of the evil media producers.

The difference is night and day. If you haven't noticed, try paying attention. Notice the way hook-nosed people turn their back to you as you pass them on the street. Notice their rude demeanor. Look at the behavior of hook-nosed people in your lives versus that of the others. Yes, Jews are the ultimate examples of this, but I think the issue is biological and not religious. In fact, the non-hook-nosed Jewish people I encountered in Austria were some of the best people I've ever met.

The difference transcends race. Hook-nosed blacks are generally pieces of s***, while blacks with streamlined profiles and upward-turned noses are typically great (although still black). This rule applies to Indians, Asians, and all other ethnicities. I have found no exceptions. None. It is almost as if hook-nosed people are a purely evil race. I have also noticed that they are fully aware of their evil nature and most non-hook-nosed people are not. It's like hook-nosed people are all part of a silent conspiracy of evil.

I think it is time we stop focusing on skin color and take a real look at facial bone structure and classical eugenics as a way of measuring racial superiority. If we are going to have a race war we better make sure to draw the battle lines correctly.

I'm more focused on prehistory and bronze age era history. Prehistory is interesting though because all we can do is really really good guess work because no one wrote anything down.
