Soviet leaders didn't actually live in Commieblocks? They had palaces and shiet, right?
>>1220491
They had "state" residences and "state" cottages, yes. Party elites had their own apartment complexes which you may or may not call commie blocks, though, pic related.
>>1220630
And this is one of the residences Gorby liked a lot.

Iron Kingdom by Christopher Clark is a good place to start. Covers the kingdom of Prussia from the Thirty Years War to post World War 1 (technically the end of WW2 but only briefly to highlight the end of old-world Prussia).
>le strong pagan warriors who rekt christcucks :DD
>Sweyn build fucking churches
>Battle of Strangford Lough when christian vikings rekt pagan ones
why are Vikings used as poster boys for some fedoracore LARP bullshit if they weren't even particularly anti christian? Lmao neopagans step up your game raids had fuck all to do with religion.
>>1220303
>why are Vikings used as poster boys for some fedoracore LARP bullshit if they weren't even particularly anti christian?
Because neo-baganism is meant to divide and conquer the West.
The viking age ended before Sweyn became king though.

A movie about the campaign in favour of the "no" that ended the chilean regime of general Pinochet.
It focusses in the TV advertising campaign, so its not a full study of the history, but its a very interesting movie anyway.
And a entertaining one.
Why do people still say there was a genocide of indiands in the US?
Also, why didnt Europeans get wrecked by diseases in the Americas as soon as they would land on American shores?
Or why didnt some of them carry diseases back into Europe causing huge amounts of casualties?
>>1220175
Cause Spaniards used Caribean islands to acclimatize themselves to the New World.
>>1220178
How would this work? You cant transmit antibodies....
Many would die of american diseases and those that would stay would be immune but the moment new people arrive they would suffer the same fate...or as soon as a carrier would go back to europe american diseases should spread among europeans killing them..
Perhaps American diseases were not as lethal because of the different living conditions of native americans and europeans..

>Catholic Christianity, as opposed to Arianism and other ideologies deemed heretical, was declared to be the state religion of the Roman Empire on 27 February 380[50] by the decree De Fide Catolica of Emperor Theodosius I.[51]
>By convention, the Western Roman Empire is deemed to have ended on 4 September 476, when Odoacer deposed Romulus Augustulus and proclaimed himself ruler of Italia

Christianity poisons everything and I do mean everything.
>>1219971
So Christianity destroyed Rome a 100 years later?
Rome nearly went under a 100 years earlier. It was going to happen inevitably. Things were actually prosperous and well under Valentinian I's reign.
Rome had actually always been filled with lots of eastern religions carried over, it wasn't some great conversion for "ways of our ancestors" to Christianity.
If Christianity destroyed Western Rome, why did Eastern Rome continue for over 1000 more years?
>>1219971
>Eastern Roman Empire adopts Christianity as the state religion at 380 AD
>survives up until 1453 AD
OP is a faggot.
How do polysyllabic languages originate?
Indo-European languages are all about the stem, which is basically a sandwich of consonants with a vowel filling. Chinese started off this way before losing most of their end consonants.
e.g.
amo
amas
amat
The stem is am- and was originally something like HAM or KHAM in Proto Indo-European.
But then you have languages ike Japanese or Hawaiian where very basic words can have double or triple decker sandwich structures.
Naka-yama and Zhong-shan are written the same way, but the difference in root structure is very obvious.
In Latin it would be Mediomons, Mediomontem; here you have MED and MONT as the roots, and -io- as an archaic genitive, then -s and -em for the nominative and accusative. It's actually more like Chinese than Japanese in root structure, the Chinese just leave the grammatical elements implied.
But Nakayama is NAKA and YAMA, not NAK and YAM joined grammatically.
What I'm wondering is this: at the most primitive stage of the language, how is root structure established? In Chinese and Latin, it's a one syllable consonant sandwich, but how did this happen?
>>1219838
Maybe I'm wrong and some linguistically informed /his/torian will come to the rescue, but most likely thia thread is a bit too smart and specific for /his/.
Maybe get an account on a small internet forum for linguistics and do a similar thread there.
>>1219846
Yeah the problem is that you are too smart for the rest of the world, it's not the retardedness of your thread at all.
If I was to take a rough guess m8, they probably created some form of structure after the need for polysyllabic words was fore filled, explaining such messy inconsistencies as you state. They'd make do with whatever they had made in the past, for such things that require the immediate creation of new types of words due to a threat of war or something equally primitive.
Or the king could've just done it with his divine right. Y'know.
Is morality a buzzword, /his/?
>If morality is subjective, then it is irrational, derived from empathy, biases molded by the environment etc and without inherent worth.
>If morality is objective, then it requires a higher source to validate it, thus it is theistic. If morality is theistic, it is a human code of conduct arbitrarily set by a superior being, thus it is just as irrational from a human perspective, no action being bad in itself, but because the god(s) deemed it as such for humans.
Do we have to have so many threads on this subject every day?
If your world-view is that of an Atheist, then yes morality is entirely within the human brain. If your world-view is that of a Theist, then it depends on the qualities of your god. You've even established this in your greentext.
All this thread will be, as they always are, endless arguments between people with these two differing world-views.
Every word is a buzzword like every idea is a spook. When you will ever learn, anon?

Napoleon also used horses. Horses were used in Afghanistan. Does it mean that the war in Afghanistan is a Napoleonic war? It does, according to your """logic""".

Hey first post here, just wondering what significance this has. I have done minimal research but I know a decent bit about the books writer, Seemed like something for this board. My dads moms side of the family was really big into the kkk, My family happens to own a farmhouse that the GrandDragon of the Maryland KKK used to live in. I sadly didn't take any pictures (Besides the cover) This is a first edition of the book from late 1930-early 1940 And it is signed on the back By Oscar Plummer September 3 or 7th 1950.
I'll have to ask my grandparents but Oscar was the GrandDragon I know that much, Don't know how exactly he is related to me except that hes related through my dads moms mom. Just interesting, I own a mint condition first edition Book about a secret society and its beliefs signed by the GrandDragon of the KKK.
Discuss and Willing to answer questions.
Won't be able to get more pictures of the book till Early July this year. Leave a kik or someway for me to contact you if anyone is Interested in the Book or my Family history.
My kik is TwistedTwilight.
Fag-ish name I know.
Have some Maryland kkk shenanigans http://loveandradio.org/2014/02/the-silver-dollar/

>just wondering what significance this has.
It's a bit of an oddity. Reminds me of the Simpsons throwaway line about a rare photo of Sean Connery signed by Roger Moore. AMORC and the Klan both had huge memberships at different points in American history, and while the two aren't connected thematically the sheer size of those memberships suggests there just had to be some overlap.
An AMORC collector might be interested in a first edition of this text but would also likely be turned off by the signature's origin. I doubt anyone affiliated with the current Klan would be interested in the text. Someone who casts a broad net of interest in Fraternities in general might consider it an interesting story attached to an otherwise unremarkable item. I personally would love to have the book on my shelf, but I don't think you'd be happy with what I'd offer for it.
Tell us more about your family's fraternal activities.
Is England an American colony?
>>1218855
No. Hawaii and Guam are examples of US colonies.
>>1218861
But Engand is also an island heavily influenced (to the point of colonization) by US culture in the same way. The entire premise of the "Special Relationship" revolves around this influence.
>>1218866
But we don't land a bunch of military there and exert political control, sending masses of colonists which declare land rights and appeal to the invading central government.
What are some interesting indigenous peoples that are rarely talked about, extinct or not. I only just found out about pic related about a week ago. I thought the idea of an island group of Berber Pagans left unmolested by the Catholic/Sunni giants for so long was quite fascinating.
The Selknam were pretty interesting.
>>1218602
Sucks they were genocided, so we know very little about them.
