>It is a fact beyond dispute that whenever one of these vessels sets sail, loaded to the gunwales with natives who have been rounded up and forcibly embarked, at least a third of the poor wretches perish during the voyage and are thrown overboard, and one has also to remember that many are killed before they ever get as far as the ships. The reason the death-toll is so high is that, in order to maximize profits, the men who finance these slave-fleets arrange for the vessels to carry nothing in the way of victuals except a basic minimum for the crew and...

Genocide means you are trying to wipe out a group of people. That literally the exact opposite intention to slavery

How would things have played out if Wilhelm was less of a glory hound and listened to Bismarck?

Well you veered off a bit toward the end but I think the Serb/Russian thing wouldn't necessarily be nullified and France + Britan + Belgium is an alliance I can't help but see as inevitable

what can /his/ tell me about stealth archery?
here are my main questions
1. how effective were they in battle and which country had the best stealth archers?
2. how did they train?
3. did they live mostly in the woods or in castles?
>>1284365
Only master race elves can be stealth archers, not mortal scum

who told you that?

Sorry to ruin your delusional fantasy but the crusades were a shitshow bro.
Most knights of Christondom ended up waylaid in random places and took to raping and pillaging, got lost, boiled alive in their own filth wearing armor Ill-suited to a middle eastern climate, or got picked off by horse archers.
Why did ancient people stole myths from each other instead of inventing mythology themselves? I heard Jews stole great flood from Babylonians and Christians based Jesus on some Egyptian God. Is there a reason for such lack of creativity?

Tell me a story without using ANY other story for influence

Hey, those guys have a cool story, let's add it to our stories.
Let's talk about them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Dexter
Let's get him out of the way.
Because he was largely uneducated, his business sense was considered peculiar. He was inspired to send warming pans (used to heat sheets in the cold New England winters) for sale to the West Indies, a tropical area. His captain sold them as ladles for the local molasses industry and made a good profit.[3][unreliable source?] Next, Dexter sent wool mittens to the same place, where Asian merchants bought them for export to Siberia.[1]

Tesla was proper nuts as well. He fell in love with a pigeon.
"I have been feeding pigeons, thousands of them for years. But there was one, a beautiful bird, pure white with light grey tips on its wings; that one was different. It was a female. I had only to wish and call her and she would come flying to me.
I loved that pigeon as a man loves a women, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life. "
I know about the MK-ULTRA experiments, but is there any merit to the claim that LSD and other drugs were put out on the streets to disarm and stupefy the burgeoning counter-culture?
It does seem a bit suspect that a drug tested by the government as an incapacitating agent suddenly and inexplicably became immensely popular as a recreational drug at that time.

>LSD and other drugs were put out on the streets to disarm and stupefy the burgeoning counter-culture?
Maybe Crack and drugs like that but LSD has honestly made me a better person overall.
>>1283768
As far as I know the claim is not meritous. LSD and similar psychedelics do not hold promise as incapacitating agents for military use, it degrades rapidly in the air and doesn't vaporize into a fine <1um mist like anthrax or tularemia.
>t. war pro
If anything, the transgressive subcultures of the 60s and 70s probably did more harm to LSD than it to them. Since "free love", LSD has permanently carried the stigma of a brain-frying hippy dippy drug in the same...

Is Nietzscheanism a religion?
His ouvre is basically a Bible.
His followers cite him as if he were a prophet.
He wrote a lot about God and other concepts that religion deals with.
He prescribed an ethical code, and his followers berate anyone who doesn't follow it.
His most devoted followers are either out living by his guidelines or employed in academia, writing exercises about his sacred texts.
Thoughts?

Do you agree with that list?
It's a fan edited wiki and the game isn't even out yet. I'm pissed they haven't shown the French but I'm sure they will after they hear enough complaining.
No. France and Russia were much more involved than England or the U.S.
