>It's a "Africa is an easy continent the only reason it didn't develop was because hurrdurr niggers" thread
Can we get some actual discussion on reasons why it didn't develop, especially in the Jungle? things like soil quality, how the weather affects the growing season, navigable trade routes, diseases, etc.
It didn't believe because it didn't develop. What is this magical concept of mandatory development that you have? Do you not realise that humanity existed for 250,000 years in the stone age? So Africans begin civilisation 2000 years after the Middle East and Europeans, why is this such a shock and horror when it took a quarter of a million years to reach that point to begin with.

Simple, they didn't actually need agriculture.
Because Africa is indeed an easy continent.
How does Islam make theologically sense when looking at the previous traditions it claims to be the conclusion of?
Isn't the whole core of the Judaic belief that a Messiah will come?
Islam just says that whole death on the cross didn't happen and even degredates him to being just another messenger.
So no Messiah.
What..?
>>1159261
Don't try to make sense of Islam, because there is none to be found within the Quran.
It is literally like saying
>Why do insane people think this way!?
...because they are fucking insane.
There is no rhyme, reason, or justification.
>>1159271
I never got how anything post-Judaic could be sold with the actual Jews still around.
>we totally are there which God's Scripture foretold us we would be!
>not at all.. plus you don't even read the original Hebrew, your translation is shitty and..
>fucking kikes!! I bet they even stab the hosts!
>>1159261
Jesus is the Messiah in Islam, and in Judaism the Messiah doesn't sacrifice himself in horrific fashion like the Christian narrative.

Well /his/?

H is a silly answer.
Empire = Emperor = Defined by the rule of a particular emperor

Tell me /his/, who was the best general in WWI?
Among all those idiots that couldn't understand modern war, who was the best?
>>1157203
There were plenty of good generals in WW1. It's a myth that they all sucked.
>>1157212
This.
Plenty of the generals enthusiastic to try new equipment, machines, and tactics.
It's just that none of the technology or innovations were adequate for stopping the massacre of trench warfare.
>>1157203

Hindenburg was solid

How in the world does it's ruling class still manage to maintain unopposed? Why hasnt there been any major rebellion?
>>1154994
Because North Korea isn't as bad as westerners imagine.
It's pretty fucking bad, but not bad enough for the risk of revolting to be worth it.
>>1155001
>famines so severe that people resort to cannibalism
>1984 and beyond levels of state control and and monitoring of individual life
>literal slave labor camps
how can rebellion possibly lead to a worse situation?
The Peoples Very Happy. Comrade Kim Jung Un Is Glorious Leader And Beloved Of The Peoples.
Why is Africa so terrible? They have shitloads of resources that would make a nuked Europe close to normal again.
>>1154390
>Why is Africa so terrible
It's not, I've been to Rabat, Lagos and Windhoek, lovely places.
>>1154409
>Rabat
When people talk about Africa being shit they usually mean Sub-Saharan
>Lagos
Nice for tourists but an utter hellhole to live in. It's dense, crowded, and pretty much the only center of activity in a country too big for its own good.
>Windhoek
Namibia has a really low population density and is one of the few exceptions to the common situation in most of Africa.
>>1154390
Niggers.
Now seriously, I find it hard to think of any other explanation
Is it wrong to enjoy the aesthetics, optimism, and culture of the Atomic Age? Was it all just too idealistic to serve any good?
of course it is, you racist
>>1162619
no, and stop playing so much fallout
>>1162619
There is nothing wrong with enjoying the aesthetics and culture of the 50's.
Its only when you put it on a pedestal and say there was nuffin wrong going on during that time that I find objectionable.
>Vatican II proclaimed Allah as God
>""""""saint"""""" Pope John II kissed the Quran

>Is against proselytizing (in direct violation of Jesus' command to spread the Gospel)
>Says Jews don't need to accept Jesus
>Says atheists are saved

>Promotes Ecumenism and performs Church services with demonic religions such as Voodoo and Brazilian Ubanda
I mean without even looking at Medieval history, I think these are clear signs that the RCC is not the Church of Jesus Christ which he said that the gates of Hades would not prevail against it.
And again seeing as Protestantism is a modern invention, that leaves Orthodoxy as the only canditate for the true Church of Christ.
Yes, the Orthodox Church is the true one, but the tone of this thread is more /pol/ than /his/, even if it is religious.
The thing is all Orthodox countries are debt ridden corrupt shitholes with third world living standards. So the answer to your question is no.

The True faith is what the Mother Assemble was under James.
Which one are you?
Neutral monism is the only acceptable answer until we figure out just what the fuck quantum mechanics really is

but if I had to guess I would say physicalism
Physicalist.
I want to believe mind > matter but good luck proving that we're transcendent of basic shit like thermodynamics.
Does non-violent protest actually work?
>>1155517
Historically I say it does.
I reckon MLK would be rolling in his grave if he saw BLM though.
>>1155517
If it's big enough, then yes.
Only if it's big enough.
only if the oppressors feel ashamed about what they're doing
that's why gandhi won in india
on the other hand look at how non-violent protest worked out in venezuela
Got done watching Empire of Dust and it got me thinking about the situation in post colonial states such as the state of Congo featured in the documentary.
According to the belgian who made it, peopld there would ask him when the belhians were coming back despite the history of atrocities that took place under belgian rule. Condescending Chinaman here often waxes about how the nation he's working in has done nothing but decline since their colonial overlords left.
Is there a solution to this, though? These places seem to have missed two hundred years of development and there doesn't seem to be any practical way to remedy that, it's not like they can just become colonies again, that wouldn't really help the formation of a stable, independent nation-state.
>>1140265
Condescending but right.
The Congo people are pityable but wrong in their beliefs.
To make things work, they have to move past the past and go for the future.
>>1140265
>the history of atrocities that took place under belgian rule.
That was mostly under King Leo. The official Belgian administration was pretty good.
The problem with Belgians is that when they left, they didn't leave any institutions behind. Most of leaders were Belgians, so you are left a country with no legistlative body, no legal institutions. Without those, infrastucture is useless when you have no one to take care of them.
So the big question is, how do you import those? The American way of bombing democracy isn't really bringing results we'd hope.
What does /his/ think of the Ahmadiyya community?

Is he arguably the most famous man of all times? The amount of research centered around this person is staggering if one considers that he was only for twelve years in power. Will there ever be another man with such a presence like him?
>>1151348
For better or for worse, he left a huge legacy. Muh evil and muh feels can't take that away. So yeah, he's up there as far as famous, or infamous, people go.
As for your last question, it remains to be seen. No current leader can compare to him in terms of presence, though.
Yes, he is to dictators what Michael Jackson is to pop music
>>1151348
If I'm not mistaken he is the second most written about person in history.

Budapest has been overrun like hell. Even back when it was Buda and Pest.

City burned in the XVIII Century.

What kind of surprised will the XXI Century bring?
