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.

>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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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

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

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...

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

Inclusive goals are most attainable if interest is shared by all stakeholders

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.

Which democratic system is historically more successful, two-party system or multi-party system?
>>933961
Generally a two party system gets shit done, though the us is rapidly proving that wrong.
>>934232
That's because the president isn't a supreme dictator, there's a congress made up of both parties who have the right to stifle his decisions
Define successful.
