What happened to the Phoenicians/Carthaginians in Iberia and Sicily after the Punic Wars? Did they assimilate into the local population?
>>939831
Most were killed off after the sacking of Carthage in the third punic war. The ones who remained were either displaced, never to return to Carthage again or even Roman territory, or sold off else where. I image the ones who did stay with the Romans assimilated but in extremely small numbers.
>>939831
Punic language was around even during the times of Augustine.
In general, Carthaginians in Africa merged with other sedentary populations into "Romans", as opposed to nomadic or semi-nomadic Berbers.

Have you forgotten about sardinia?
The biggest punic necropolis is there
Any great documentary that shows the shortcomings of democracy (republics), without going into redpill territory or being biased as hell?
Pic unrelated
Mob rule
Retarded average voter
Divide and conquer by elites
Very divided populace
Extremely inefficient
>>939773
I'm well aware of all of those, but I need an explicit documentary that showcases those.
>>939817
Sorry m8, you won't get a documentary on anything from /his/, only expert analysis followed by contradiction of that analysis followed by shitflinging.
Maybe if your filename had been "check 'em" and you'd been a tiny bit quicker posting.
Good luck though.
And the Germans ACTUALLY believed this?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. And no, most of them did not.
The silent majority never matters.
Wasn't that book extremely boring?

Pretty sure 99% of them didn't read it.

Indians were chimping out so hard the British couldn't give them independence fast enough, if they were patients it would have gone a lot better.
UK never partitioned Cyprus

You mean Israel
People in Northern Ireland wanted to stay British
Rwanda was never part of the British empire
Armenian genocide happened before the British dismantled the ottoman empire

What's with Asia and all these fucking highrises, seriously, it's not like they have a shortage of land. It applies to Arabs as well who compete with each other over who builds a taller building, is it small dick compensation or something else?
y'know china, maybe if you used the wealth, materials and manpower you had to build these skyscrapers around the rural cities, you'd have a developed country instead of a highly developed east coast
>>939251
population is still growing and they're expecting a shortage of land in the future.

Was there ever a possibility of the Zulu kingdom surviving or was it doomed to be colonized by the Brits? Also talk about other African kingdoms if you want.
The Zulu Kingdom was incorporated into the Boar Republic, and we all know how well that went.
>>939144
Doomed to colonisation, but it would have been interesting to see how it developed without European interference. The Zulus were the start of civilisation in southern Africa, one of the first large tribal confederations.

How no I not be a history dummy?
All of my understanding of major historical events are one or two sentances long.
Do I just read wikipedia articles? Go to the library and just pick up whatever book looks informative? Are there youtube shows about history that won't make me look like a pleb? Is the only way to do this is to go to school and take history classes, but that's not an option for me.
>>938806
For complete noobs, Wikipedia isn't always bad, but it can be pretty shit and doesn't help to see the whole picture and how one event leads to another.
Videos can be good, depending on who is making them. I know there is a really amazing WWI on YouTube. Overall though videos are better to learn stories than the overall.
Honestly, I would say if you have a high-school or college history textbook, just start there and read the whole thing.
Read books, starting with what you find the most interesting, and then eventually branching out to cover whatever you know the least about if you want general knowledge or specializing on your favorite topic if you want to specialize in something. In a class all you'd be doing is essentially reading history books and primary sources and having someone hold you accountable for paying attention, so if you're motivated just start reading history books
What period/place are you interested in? You really don't want any book or video or anything that covers "all of history" so start where you're interested

>What period/place are you interested in? You really don't want any book or video or anything that covers "all of history" so start where you're interested
I don't really have any specific interests. Anything major, I guess? I just don't want to be stupid when I don't know what the French Revolution is or how World War 1 started, or why America had a revolution.

In some schizophrenics apartment after he committed suicide in the 1950s. There were more paintings but i can't find the images.

Sounds badass, I'm sure he was compensated with glory.

Since morality is just a spook, doesn't that mean colonialists were not some great insidious evil as liberals claim but rather übermensch who would otherwise live a life of poverty seeking fortune?

You can't risk yourself "for queen and country" and act like you aren't spooked.

>Since morality is just a spook, doesn't that mean colonialists were not some great insidious evil as liberals claim
Correct. No one is evil.

Now you are mixing Stirner with Nietzche which is very delicate and you need to be careful how you use words. There will also be multiple correct answers depending on whether you want a Nietzchian or Stirnenian answer

>"This is a more realistic depiction of war"
>"More gritty and realistic"
> More realistic = anti-war and anti-violence
Is this a Western Neoliberalism thing or what? I find the idea that war is an inherently negative or terrible thing is absurd. Furthermore, the idea that violence itself is an inherently bad or immoral thing is so bafflingly fucking retarded I don't even know where to begin.
How do we fix this?
I can't really name a just war off the top of my mind apart from WW2 so I suppose that would be why.
Usually when people talk about making depictions of war more realistic it's because a lot of war media depicts it as glorious, which it never really was.
You see this in any film presentation of Agincourt such as Henry V, but the reality was a bunch of english archers wracked with dysentry beating mud-stuck French nobility to death with mallets.
>>938193
War isn't pretty, usually.
It's dirty. People used to die more by infection outside combat than by combat. The runs could be as scary as a bayonet.
Even today, when you ask purported war heroes why they fought, the standard reply is "so other people wouldn't have to" or something along those lines.
Personally, I'd say war is a means and peace is a goal.
>>938193
Go to war, come back, then tell us that it's not an awful thing no one should ever have to go through.

Education & The Significance of Life is a great book.
I've been diagnosed with "major depression disorder". And, although currently I do take antidepressant(s) I am beginning to realize that for a long time now I've been suspect - if not fundamentally opposed - towards the psychiatric enterprise.
>>937713
To start off with, the idea that I have a bio-medical illness - a problem rooted within the physical makeup of my body (specifically the chemicals within my brain), seems utterly suspect. And it's not just that no test were performed - but that psychiatrists still do not even know what that test would look like - due to there being absolutely no feasible, or accepted physiological model of the 'illness'. That is to say, we don't even have a semblance of a working and accepted theory of the causal...

A situation in which literally MILLIONS of patients are taking completely innefective medications (which can have serious and lasting side effects -permanent brain damage in the case of ECT), to treat an 'illness' which is poorly defined and understood, to the point where the doctors prescribing the medications can't even describe in clinical terms the condition they're actually trying to treat. Does this not strike anyone else as complete fucking insanity?
Here's a few sources. Check...

Let's scrap all notion of depression as a bio-medical illness and start from the very beginning again. Here's the set of behaviors and subjective feeling states which must be present in a patient in order for a diagnoses of MDD to be given:
• Depressed mood or a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities for more than two weeks.
• Mood represents a change from the person's baseline.
• Impaired function: social, occupational, educational.
• Specific symptoms, at least 5 of these 9, present nearly every day:
>1. Depressed mood or irritable most of the day, nearly every day, as indicated by either subjective report
(e.g., feels sad or empty) or observation made by others (e.g., appears tearful).
>2. Decreased interest or pleasure in most activities, most of each day
>3. Significant weight change (5%) or change in appetite
>4. Change in sleep: Insomnia or hypersomnia
>5. Change in activity: Psychomotor agitation or retardation
>6. Fatigue or loss of energy
>7. Guilt/worthlessness: Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt
>8. Concentration: diminished ability to think or concentrate, or more indecisiveness
>9. Suicidality: Thoughts of death or suicide, or has suicide plan
