What are examples of homosexuality in the National Socialist movement?
Ernst Röhm is the obvious example. Is it true that the hard anti-gay stance of the party only emerged after the Night of Long Knives to justify the killing of Röhm and his men?
Another example would be Michael Kühnen, an important figure in the German neonazi movement of the 90s, keeping his orientation a secret until rumors began to spread, writing a short gay neonazi manifesto and shortly after dying of AIDS with many of his comrades in denial about his convictions and cause of death.
This is an interesting sythesis of nazi fetishism and tumblr "queer studies"

I just don't like disrespectful language, Anon.
Nazi is a slur and NatSoc is much more neutral and free of judgement, be it positive or negative.
I would have written National Socialist movement but I'm also kind of lazy..
Was the Soviet Union still salvageable when Gorbachev took over the reins?
MISTER
It certainly was. Most republics in the Union did not want to dissolve it. His overzealous desire to try to solve a long term issue in a very short period of time destroyed the union.
>>1051109
Wasn't most of those Republics money draining ones from Central Asia?
The Baltics jumped the chance to get away as soon as possible when they could, and they were among the richest republics.
He could definitely have done something about the Armenian-weird spelled country border problems.
What would the Middle Ages have been like if the Roman Empire had still existed? Would the Ottoman Empire and Arab Caliphates have expanded as far as they did? Would the Romans have led a crusade?

You mean what would have changed if a major european event didn't happened and predict the changes on a scale of a millenia ?
I think we would have been in space, besides, the Roman Empire continued to exist.
What even is?

It depends on what the definition of is, is.
I am a man. What do I know of existence!!
ITT: philosophy trivia
>Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes started philosophy in Miletus around the same time coinage was first introduced
>Diogenes was the first shitposter
Diogenes was the first and only bersmench.
Empedocles was the last philosopher to write in verse, and he threw himself into a volcano.
Were the Nazis truly evil like they are portrayed to be? Why did they steal artwork?

It's my birthday - let's play a game, /his/!
Choose:
- A year between 500 BC and 0AD
- A location for your city-state
- The composition of a 20,000 man army fielded by that city state, which must be composed only of those units fielded by nations which your locale had cultural contact with/extensive knowledge of in that time period.
Explain, for bonus points:
How your army beats the army of another poster in this thread.
I'll start:
I choose the Island of Rhodes in 200 BC.
My army is composed of a main force of 6,000 hoplites,...

If cavalry were best used attacking the flanks and rear of an enemy then why was heavily armoured cavalry ever a thing?
to protect themselves from enemy pointy bits
>>1050454
to beat less armored cavalry and protection from missile fire.
>>1050454
Cause a charge is awesome.

What exactly did he think would happen?
>>1050434
nothing cause he probably didn't say it
>>1050434
He was just butthurt he wouldn't get to live to rule his empire, so he intentionally sowed the seeds of a civil war so no one could rule it.

I have a question for those among us who love the USSR. How can you justify your support for a country that had so little support from its own population. What I mean is that so few people were actually willing to defend it. It seems very odd to me that the second greatest superpower ever could fall apart so easily unless the society was fundamentally broken and excepted as such by the public.
>>1050400
A gun at your head, threat of the US and its "shit" society coming after you, and basic living makes it easy to fall in line.
>live in communist regime
>taught that the state knows all
>state decides to liquidate and balkanize assets
Truly the state knows what's best for us.

Yeah, whole 130 millions.
oday I have came to the conclusion that not everybody who has a university degree is intelligent.
Particularly people with degrees such as graphic design, sound audio engineering, philosophy and art.
As an art lover it pains me to say this but most art students are dumb as bricks and don't even have talent...

>today I have came to the conclusion that not everybody who has a university degree is intelligent.
no shit

How long did that take you?
Academic performance in general isn't reliant at all on intelligence. The only exceptions would be at the fringes of mastering difficult fields.
Why wasnt there mass immigration of Europeans to africa on the same scale as the Americas? I know there was South Africa, Rhodesia, etc, but that wasnt nearly the same amount. Seems like it would have been easier to mass immigrate to Africa since it was relatively closer to Europe, plus the natives were more easily defeated.
>>1049758
North Africa is already established nations. Its also a desert.
Central Africa is jungle
South Africa is nice and thats why the Europeans went there.

Also don't forget that entirety of Africa was explored and colonized only in late 19th century, before that no one really wanted to go to what was basically terra incognita
Hey /his/. I just have a small question, since I'm currently writing a paper about the Holocaust and Hitler's expansionism. I was wondering how much Hitler intended on expanding Germany. Did he really plan on conquering the whole world, or was that just American wartime propaganda? Did he plan on stopping at the geographic boundaries of Europe? Or is this something we'll never really know?
probably take back half of poland and re balkanize russia. he didn't want to take over the world. that was communism
He wanted a "greater Germany" which meant depopulating Slavic lands in Poland and bits of Ukraine and Belarus as well.
>>1049073
Hitler did not have firm plans, but constantly evolved gestures of ideas against a theme of German racial supremacy in the East, and the defeat of the stultifying force of Slavs and the corrupting force of Jews. Hitler was not particularly fascinated with the West which he viewed as degenerate and corrupted, as it lacked the land necessary for the "German Race" to cleanse itself in.
Hitler was also not decisive in German planning, Germans regularly tried to anticipate the Führer and, moreover, Hitler's...
