Why Jews just... doesn't rebel against Nazi? Sure that was risky. But they were able to steal victory in The Great War from Wilhelm just decades ago, and if that isn't enough to participate in Holocaust doesn't seems to be much worse than a rebellion.
They did rebel. They failed.

How did they steal victory from Wilhelm? By dying in the trenches for him over his autistic feud because he;s a dumb spastic that didn't understand diplomacy?
Can we start a list of countries with retarded government traditions/procedures? Doesn't matter if they're contemporary or not.
Let's get this started with royal approbation in the UK:
>This video includes the door of the House of Commons being slammed on the face of Black Rod (the Queen's representative) to symbolise the independence of the elected House of Commons from the monarchy. This ritual is derived from what happened when the attempt by Charles I to arrest five MPs in 1642, in what was seen as a breach of privilege. After that incident, the House of Commons has maintained its right to question the right of the monarch's representative to enter their chamber, though they can not bar him from entering with lawful authority.

I'm American. This wants me to move over to England and start a republican revolution because all of these procedures are bugfuck retarded.

>The Woolsack is the seat of the Lord Speaker in the House of Lords, the Upper House of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. In the 14th century King Edward III (1327–1377) commanded that his Lord Chancellor whilst in council should sit on a wool bale, now known as "The Woolsack", in order to symbolise the central nature and huge importance of the wool trade to the economy of England in the Middle Ages.[1][2] Indeed, it was largely to protect the vital English wool trade routes with continental Europe that the Battle of Crécy was fought with the French in 1346.[3] From the Middle Ages until 2006, the presiding officer in the House of Lords was the Lord Chancellor and the Woolsack was usually mentioned in association with the office of Lord Chancellor. In July 2006, the function of Lord Speaker was split from that of Lord Chancellor pursuant to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005.[4]

It was probably the best at the time. He really didnt have any crazy murder league like Russia and Germany and he actually got shit done, unlike that goofy fucking austrian dictator who I cant remember
He was even smart enough to realize Hitler was a kook and was admired in America by italians and a lot of others. It wasnt until Ethiopia and joining the war that he went wrong.
he should have gone gone the franco route and remain neutral. He actually told the UK he would side with them over Germany if war ever broke out at first
How did left-handers fare throughout the history (and pre-history)?
Is left-handedness a genetic mutation?
It's a sign of being an emotionally unstable fucktard.
t. left-handed
>>936553
Well, I'm a moody person too, but I don't think left-handedness is a sign of it.
>>936543
Lefties are more likely to have certain personality flaws and metal illness, and I think certain kinds of cancer.
However historically they were way better at fighting so the more warlike a people the more lefties they had. Probably less of an issue now because guns are designed for righties and the handedness of combatants doesn't matter.
Lefties are supposed to have more interconnected brains which *may* lead to greater creativity so they might still have a special place it society.
Are there any particular transoceanic contact theories which you personally believe?
Norse and Polynesian contact are near universally agreed with enormous amounts of archaeological evidence.
I personally believe the Japanese-Ecuadorian theory is highly possible. The pottery of Valdivia is very similar to Jomon style pottery. There's also a genetic link between the tribes in the area with the Japanese as well as many Asian characteristics distinct from the surrounding tribes. An STD which originated in Southeastern Japan is also found in mummies in the area. The current theory is that an eruption which occurred around 3000 BCE lead to Jomon peoples following a coastal migration route across the North Pacific into America. Even ocean currents suggest that this was entirely possible.
>inb4 Jews discovered America
>>936439
That's interesting, I've never actually heard that theory before. Something similar to this was a small Native American tribe in Southern California and Arizona was discovered to have a language with an absurd amount of commonalities to Classical Japanese.
>>936449
Yeah, I'd heard that, it's fascinating. The thing that gets me the most is the fact that there is only contact in certain areas. The fact that they made one journey and stayed makes sense, but the fact that Southern California and Ecuador are literally thousands of miles away rather than several hundred if the contact was in the Northwest is really amazing if true.

There seems to be very little information about Slavic mythology online; I have recently gotten a job as a writer, for a video game (but that is less relevant), and everything needs to be related to the ancient Slavic culture (especially the gods/religion) and, ofcourse, I want to inform myself before delving in too deep, but history isn't exactly my forte; so I come to you s/his/tas, seeking guidance and help.
>ancient slavic culture
man dig hole, man live in hole.
But shitposting aside, if you want to know about Slavic mythology look into the primary chronicles, it's more of a historical document but it has some mythology and old traditions in it.
>>935704
For two major reasons we have next to nothing on celtic and slavic mythologies. (The reasons being a lack of literacy and overzealous christians doing their best to fuck shit up)
Thankfully slavic mythology and religion are tied into the older indo european religion and share many common traits, so the best way to try and find an appropriate reconstruction is to go have a look at norse, greek and baltic myths (all of which survived in a better state than the slavic and celtic mythologies) and find some similar themes that you like the look of.
General features of the mythos tend to involve the head of the pantheon getting into a fight and slaying some monstrous creature, a sun god that rides in a chariot, a flood myth, and a pair of brothers sacrificing something (generally a cow) to create the world.
Lifestyle wise, have a look at the Tengri religion, which is believed to be related to the original indo-european religion but wasnt killed off. In particular there is a complex and varied notion of superstition surrounding various numbers along with acts such as knocking on wood.
Overall, ancient Slavic religion seems to be fairly local and cultic in nature, with gods and beliefs varying from tribe to tribe. Historic sources show that each Slavic tribe worshipped its own gods, possibly even had its own pantheon. Some scholars believed that Slavs' religion actually was focused on daemons and spirits, with the organised pantheon appearing only under foreign pressure. Others have claimed that while there was a single general pantheon, various regions held different gods in high regard. However, through cultural comparisons, linguistic research, and critical analysis of the written sources, it is generally assumed that there was a single Proto-Slavic pantheon from which pantheons of various Slavic tribes originated.
The Slavic religion had semi-nomadic steppe origins, where each geographical direction had a color of its own. Thus, Belarus actually means "the Western Rus", because the West was linked to the color white. (Compare to Byelobog, "the white god", and Belgrade, "the white city".) It appears that it was built upon the dualism personified by two gods, Perun and Veles. Perun was a "dry" sky god, commandeering fire, wind, and lightning (his name means simply "lightning" in Slavic languages). Veles was a serpentine, cthonic, "wet" ruler of earth, water, and magic. To whom the rain belonged was pretty much the "whose is the apple tree on the fence" problem. In some stories, Perun creates the world and Veles accidentally helps him by trying to interfere. Whatever the reason, they constantly fight each other, lightning strikes marking Perun's attempts to kill his foe from the sky. However, despite the easy analogies, Veles was not really a bad guy, as he was also a patron of cattle. (It should also be noted that Veles had a nasty habit of stealing Perun's possessions — up to and including his wife and children — so Perun's rage is perfectly understandable.)
Whoa, guys. Are like textbooks really different from the Bible? I mean, you crazy dudes have your own opinions on what really happened, man. You know what I mean? Like is history pretty much the same as religion?
History is based on facts. Religion is based on usurping the populace for political and monetary control.

R8 My Theory
Eroticism and violence are objectively the same but subjectively different
Pure Violence: Exclusive
>Lion is hungry, lion is aware and intends to eat the gazelle which is unaware of the lions hunger or intention, lion kills gazelle.
>Anxiety caused by: aversion of own death
>Win condition: Relieve anxiety through death of other
Pure Eroticism: Inclusive
>Person A has desire to have sex with person B, Person B has desire to have sex with person A, Persons A and B have sex.
>Anxiety caused by: want for sex
>Win condition: Relieve anxiety through Orgasm
In both cases anxiety is caused by homeostasis (visceral needs) or perceived obstruction of freedom (conflicting interest).
Resolution of anxiety by attaining visceral needs
Homeostasis
>Killing secures means of survival (saftey, resources) therefore violence seeks to maintain homeostasis
>Sex is a visceral need (theoretically), therefore eroticism seeks to maintain homeostasis
However Eroticism and Violence do not manifest themselves in the absolutely pure form for the most part. Because of this there arises conflicting interest when relieving anxiety for one subject causes anxiety for another. This is the obstruction of freedom.
Mitigated Violence: responsive violence
>When the gazelle becomes aware of the lion's intentions it can either fight back or flee, seeking to relieve anxiety in the same way the lion seeks to relieve anxiety
Aggravated Eroticism: Single aggressor
>If person A wants to have sex with person B but person B does not, than person A has anxiety which they intend to relieve but person B does not have this anxiety (or has it to a lesser extent). This restricts Person A's ability to relieve anxiety, and any attempt person A makes to relieve this anxiety will cause anxiety to person B.
When Violence or Eroticism move beyond their functional forms they become 'emotional behaviours'. These behaviours seek to fulfill the subjective want opposed to the objective need.
Aggravated Violence: unnecessary violence
>No (less) visceral anxiety, goal is to kill (although other benefits may result).
Mitigated Eroticism: altruistic relationships
>No (less) visceral anxiety, goal is not sex (although sex may be present)
The difference between all these things are based in subjectivity
Things that are subjectively 'right' (far left/right of spectrum) relieve anxiety or satisfy needs. Things that are subjectively 'wrong' (center of the spectrum) increase anxiety and either fail to satisfy needs or create new needs.
Subjective appraisal of 'right' or 'wrong' will increase or decrease general anxiety
Far Left (dealing with 'I' vs 'Them')
>Say you are a hunter and a deer has been eating the flowers from your front lawn, if you were to kill this deer it would be 'aggravated violence'. I propose that one would be caused less anxiety by eating the meat of this troublesome deer than they would be caused by eating beef from a cow who's reason for dying was to satisfy hunger (pure violence). And you would feel the greatest anxiety from eating another human, if you were aware of the extent their aversion to death (mitigated violence).
- Note: the "humanness" of meat is not the defining factor. If you truly wanted to kill another person I propose you would not be caused great anxiety by additionally eating them, and you would feel great distress if you were to eat your family dog simply because you were hungry and had no other food available.
Far Right (dealing with 'I' and 'Them')
>Despite what Freud has to say about subconscious sexuality, many men and women find that (if they have a 'healthy' relationship) their relationship with their opposite sex parent is 'ideal' (an example of mitigated eroticism). The reason you love your mother or father is not because you want to have sex with them, but instead because the relationship relieves anxiety through communication, acceptance, and other social desires. A sexual partner like a spouse will also reduce anxiety (also mitigated eroticism), however a relationship that exists only for sex and lacks the wide array of social desires would do much less to reduce anxiety (Pure eroticism). These are followed by behaviours such as stalking or rape (aggravated eroticism), which cause great anxiety for the non-consenting party , while doing little to reduce the anxiety of the aggressor and quite possibly creating new sources of anxiety.
- Note: I am using consent loosely to define shared interest
The Center (Heterostasis)
>The center point is the point of the greatest anxiety. This is caused by the switch between the exclusive and inclusive nature of goals on the opposing ends.
Exclusive goals are most attainable if free will is exercised only by the individual
>If we respect the desires of the cow, and promote or even aid the cow in exercising its free will the dairy and beef industries would fall apart.
Inclusive goals are most attainable if interest is shared by all stakeholders
>Everyone wants to have friends. If were to incarcerate your 'friends' they would be more readily available to you, but less inclined/likely to supply you with the social desires that lead to us wanting friends in the first place.
To reduce anxiety, one should deviate from the center as much as possible
>Rape is less pleasurable than platonic friendship
>Killing your enemies is more satisfying than fighting off an attacker

Were there any families among Europe's nobility that could reliably trace their descent from Roman aristocracy as opposed to Germanic/Slavic racketeers?
I believe there was a daughter of the Palaelogian dynasty of Eastern Rome who married a prince of Swabia in the HRE, and proceeded to intermarry with other royals.
>>934856
And then some Russian leader claimed the title Tsar by marrying with the princess of the Byzantine empire.
>>934847
Byzantines married off a bunch of princesses, mostly to other Orthodox rulers.
