How the fuck did she become so popular?
>>1248696
Because she's not wrong.
She wrote about how the Soviet Union had a nonsense system, and she was right.
It's just that doing the exact opposite of the Soviet Union also throws up some nonsense.
>>1248696
Never underestimate the power of drivel fed to the masses.
>>1248710
but while the ideas of her books are correct, they are put forward in a laughably simple way, making the debate between totalitarianism and democracy very trivialised
Anyone know any good books about thoth, kek, moloch ,ba'al hadad and other pre abhramic gods? I am struggling to find resources and most books are weird fiction novels.
Anybody
The Orders of Gods in Greece and Egypt by J. Gwyn Griffiths shines a little light on Kek and the rest of the Ogdoad
Any info on the secret history of drug use and the development of society? Shamans used psychedelics of course, and lots of business must have been done on cocaine, and of course the music industry ect.
I would like to know more about this unspoken narrative in human history.
>>1248537
I thought it was in WWII when aircraft pilots used amphetamines to stay awake and so on and so on.
>>1248566
yes this is true
It's not secret, it's just obscure.
Everyone used drugs up until very recently, the twentieth century is incredibly unusual in having prohibition against most drugs enforced globally.
As archaeologist focused on some other periods and tasks entirely different from Egypt, I find myself often underrating and ignoring this civilization in particular because of its peaks being set fucking far back in time and place from late Roman period I'm dealing with, but it's hard to deny that it could be the greatest and most authentic human civilization since the dawn of time. It really makes you wonder what we as sentient beings are and what are we capable of making from virtually nothing. While Roman and Greek civilizations are no doubt great achievements we...

Yup, I know very little about ancient Egypt.
I imagine a bunch of slaves ruled by an inbred royal family using religion to justify authority. It's just not that interesting. It seems like a standard kingdom that grew in scale because they had fertile land and many resources.
Yet I find Sumer very interesting. Weird.
Anyway, that's my uninformed impression.
>>1248478
What I find interesting is that almost all of the great architecture came from the Old Kingdom, Abu Simbel being one of few exceptions.
That the Step Pyramid was built nearly 1400 years before Abu Simbel is crazy to think about.

Why do criminals constantly become assets to their governments or fanatical terrorist?
Every CIA assets in history was always some drug lord. This douche bag in the photo robbed like 90 banks across Europe and was a crime boss. Noriega was an asset at one point. And every Muslim terrorist that goes to fight Isis was always in some gang before they found religion.
How do men driven by profit get turned out by governments and god?

Local trouble maker >>>>>>>>>>>training agents to do one specific shit.
>why is it easier to sick Tonys, Jamals, and Pablos on people than ordinary citizens?
>>1248287
Governments themselves are essentially criminal syndicates. They demand you give them money for protection, and they will send goon squads after you if you don't pay that money. Furthermore, if you do something they don't like (ex: smoking a plant) their goons will beat the shit out of you and hold you hostage.
Bay of Pigs, why was it a failure?
Kennedy was in charge
It doesn't have any pig
Castro knew about it a few weeks in advance when the KGB picked up on it and gave him the intel.
The CIA trained invaders were expecting to make a landing with no resistance but instead were jumped.
after finding out that 25,000 Cubans were there to fight the landing force of 1,500, they just turned tail and ran.
Was he a good leader?
>>1248203
Was he markedly worse than previous Japanese Emperors?

A """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""good leader""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""", suuuuuuuuuuuure.
(Hell fucking no. He was literally cucked by his generals until the atomics were popped.)
I read somewhere that Charles V refused to remarry after the death of his beloved Isabelle. Supposedly he always wore black clothes ever since (1539) as a sign of mourning.
How plausible is this? Would there even be some other reason to have people remember it like this besides the obvious catholic ideals it embodies?

He fucked half of the known world after his wife died. John of Austria was a result of that. He still loved her a lot though.
>>1248102
He was a big guy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore
>The war had a significant influence on his life - he said his only romance ended when his fiancée Lorna, a nurse, was killed in London in 1943 by a bomb which struck her ambulance. Moore subsequently remarked that he never married because "there was no one else for me ... second best is no good for me ... I would have liked a wife and family, but it was not to be."[citation needed] In his autobiography he said that after sixty years he still thought about her, and because of her death "if...

Why do moderns react with such vitriol toward the notion of all reality being One, that we are all a part of a greater, divine whole, etc?
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>1248035
Read -> comprehend
>>1247993
It's all part of the Divine play. It attacks the illusory and falsifies all held belief which stimulates an adverse reaction. It makes them responsible for their perception of the world and responsibility isn't fun. We've created things like moral relativism to advocate abortion, which in many ways removes responsibility for prior actions
Was getting nailed to a cross a part of his plan?

It turned out that way
For you
If i pull that nail out, would he die ?
How the middle orient is so swarthy today despite being the originators of indo-europeans? Not 1,300 years ago people like muhammad and atila are described as red haired

Bullshit. Who would take a ginger leader seriously and followed them?

Mohammed was a ginger though and an alfa one at that.

Why aren't Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan just one country? You could possibly even throw in Azerbaijan.
Would (re)unification make sense/have any benefit? Would the idea ever be thrown around in any of the participating governments?
>>1246798
Two of them have been independent states for centuries and the third was part of another state.
Why do people who don't know shit about history, culture, or politics feel the need to make retarded threads?
