>black africans never had advanced countries or empires!
When will this meme end?
There is more to Africa than the Semites and Arabs hugging the Mediterranean.
Always was more, always will be more. Nigeria will be a world power in like 50 years.

Until /pol/ dies, which is never.

Those West African empire got rich due to Arab trade though
Hell even The Bantu states depended on Arab trade
Ethiopia is based though

Do you realize how stupid you look right now?
Why does God have a problem with people speaking one language?
>>1353093
Because they are still massive sinners and will plot against him
>>1353102
>plot against him
What exactly would God have to fear?
>>1353104
His creation wallowing in sin
Just how did they do it?

When will this meme end?

Yes, it makes no sense to me..
People couldn't sail without at least Renaissance era mathematics.
So tell me about anarcho-communism
Can it work, if so, how?
Has it ever worked?
>>1350963
>Can it work, if so, how?
Council, Syndicate
>Has it ever worked?
Syndicalism and Anarchy are both two large unknowns we know are theoretically possible if you've read enough, and easily dismissed if you haven't.
Largely, you know who is worth talking to on the matter and who isn't based upon their reaction.
>>1350963
Communism is actually anarchistic no matter what shitty Leninist-bolshevik told you. So anarcho-communism is redundant.
Oh and Makhno tried to create a free anarchic state in Ukraine before invaded and annexed by USSR.
>>1350963
Can it work, if so, how?
It's an utopian system, it requires perfect contitions to work, that means that all people on planet must act like Borgs or robots - everyone must be willing to become a human-ant.
Has it ever worked?
No one tried it, but ararchism and communism were tried dozen times and every time failed. You can draw the conclusions by yourself.
The one Church founded by Christ: the Orthodox Church.
This is a choir, rehearing as a Western Rite Orthodox Cathedral in Paris, they are singing a selection from the Liturgy of Saint Germanus (a 6th Century French Liturgy that was revived by the Orthodox Church); the icons are in Western style, as you can clearly see from the carving and painted icons as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKXQUgEckfU
Orthodox pastebin for Catholics and Protestants and atheists and others who have objections or concerns about the Orthodox faith, along with a reading list and...

It doesn't matter what people on this earth claim, or which religion they align themselves with. It matters whether God has written their names in the Book of Life.

Why are you so salty about a mean word, OP?

For what purpose?

How distorted is their view of history? Aside from the obvious, of course.
I'm just gonna come in here and wait for someone to unironically defend them.

I wouldn't put it past /his/.
Allow me to kind of "diagnose" Creationists for a sec.
Creationist are obligated to uphold a mythic story conclusion in the face of reality, and thus cultivate an antiintellectual conspiracy worldview to as to reduce mental stress.
They subconsciously recognize the convincing power of robust models, on the other hand cherish emotional conviction above reason. So they think they can mimic the terminology and concepts of science, but retreat back to appeals to authority once that fails.
I still dont understand why God created us?It makes zero (0) sense.

God is all about increasing infinities.
He is Love, and the greatest act of love is to lay down your life for another.
Jesus proved His love for us when He lay down His life for all of us. The greatest act of love in the history of the universe.
He made you because He loves you and wants you to live with Him forever. In fact, because He loves you so much, He'd rather die than live without you.
So He did.
And then on the third day, He rose from the dead, and promised everyone...

What happened to left-wing political violence?
Since the early 80s, essentially all nonstate terrorism has been committed by far-right militants, be them Islamist or white supremacist. Why has the left lost its teeth?
>>1354306
Recuperation.
No financial support from the soviets anymore
>>1354306
We're plotting something big
I picked these up yesterday and was wondering what you guys think of em'. Am I in for an enjoyable read?
>>1353282
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is lengthy but if you enjoy the topic I'm sure you'll enjoy the book. I've never read the whole thing 2bh.
>>1353290
Yeah, I'll be on a trip soon and there won't be anything else to do but read so I'm hoping to grind it out.
What was worse? The Native American genocide or the holocaust?
>hunting bison to near extinction or gassing jews to near extinction
Shit lad, I don't know.
Native American genocide. The Holocaust wasn't even that bad.
>>1351000
One destroyed a continent's worth of indigenous peoples and cultures, the other killed a few million Jews without a homeland. Which do you think is worse?
So wait, how did America, a super power, get its ass kicked in Vietnam? How hard is it to fight against jungle monkeys?

The U.S. 'Operation Rolling Thunder' was the turning point that lost the war.
>>1346230
It didn't
>>1346236
No.
It was combat effective through the war, but without diplomacy to actually control the borders, the enemies received infinite weapons and supplies from china and russia. They would have jeeded to agent orange a quarter mile deep strip along a border and make a trump style wall with riflemen on it
Why is this here?
How come it didn't join Poland after URSS fall? How did Rusia even manage to get it and what was their plan for it?

>How come it didn't join Poland after URSS fall? How did Rusia even manage to get it and what was their plan for it?
No one wanted, it they offered it a few times to Lithuania and Germany both rejected.
>>1355493
They took it after ww2, who was going to stop them? though I'm not sure why they decided to make it direct territory instead of just giving it to Poland. Also interested in how they managed to keep it after the fall of the USSR. It's sad to see such a historical region cleansed of any culture and history.
>>1355493
>How come it didn't join Poland after URSS fall?
Because no one wants it. It's a shithole and money sink.
>>1355493
>How did Rusia even manage to get it and what was their plan for it?
Potsam arrangements, in order to give Russia a warm-water port in the Baltic Sea. St. Petersburg gets blocked by ice occasionally.
