How common actually is hanja mixed script in Korea nowadays? The impression I get is 'not very'. What contexts is it still used in, if any, and why did they stop using it very much?
>>702656
They should just use Hangul only.
>>702656
They stopped using it because it doesn't serve a highly aggluative language will and hangul is an incredibly good phonetic writing system that you can learn in literally in 30 minutes
>>702664
Hanja: 修道 (spiritual discipline), 囚徒 (prisoner), 水都 (city of water), 水稻 (paddy rice), 水道 (waterway), 隧道 (tunnel), 首都 (capital city)
Hangul: 수도 (spiritual discipline/prisoner/city of water/paddy rice/waterway/tunnel/capital city)
What was it that allowed the British to become as dominant as they did?
Forced into colonization due to lack of land in Europe.
England is the most geographically perfect place on earth
The collective naivete and good-nature of the rest of mankind, which prevented them from stooping to the moral lows of perfidious Albion.
Why didn't the native americans tame this shit and ride them instead of genociding them?
They rode horses with no saddles and zero guidance.
>>701384
have you ever tried riding a Paraceratherium? They're pretty cantakerous and because they are so big and strong you can't really control them.
One of my mates fell off and got his skull crushed by a stray foot when he tried to ride one.
>>701392
We domesticated fucking aurochs, those redskins have no excuse.
The skeletal structure on all the animals listed is actually worse, both calorie and juke wise, than the homo sapien, so there's no point in riding them. The only thing they can do better is top speed, and that's fucking worthless in a winter fucking hellscape where the meta is finding dead corpses and fighting over them, where packs of homo sapien cannot be contested at all.
It would take a few hundred thousand years of domestication for them to be useful in battle, since their psych doesn't have things like honor, and the natives didn't have that long. They had animal for and spears to survive the winter and the megafauna wasn't just competition, it was the only means of survival.
Shout out to any dead indians that raised young megatherium and used them in battle, you weren't metababies.
What went wrong? Militarily, these guys were shit. Asses kicked in WW1 by Austria-Hungary multiple times at Isonzo, and then were utterly fucked in WW2 by the allies. The only times they really won a war was their annexation of Libya and I guess the Austro-Prussian war.
Incompetent and antiquated leadership.
It only got worse during fascism, since how much you agreed with whatever Mussolini said was a core factor for having a career in any field.
>>700900
Italians are vain and lazy. You can only expect outsiders to do things for them
>Italy annexed territories non stop until WW2 getting their asses constantly kicked
I think we're good, think what would have happened if we dominated our opponents
okay, /his/, i need help. I am in denial of religion, but i feel i must belong to a group. suggest me some religions, /his/
>>700210
What is wrong with atheism? There mere fact that there are so many religions with so many die hard believers all claiming their god 'the true god' is what keeps me from ever believing
you could always worship mars
>>700247
ive actually been trying atheism, but it feels so weird. i was christian for the longest time, then i tried paganism, but now, idk what to beleive
Patton was right in wanting to attack Russia after WWII avoiding the Cold War and the Berlin Wall?
What exactly would humanity as a whole stand to gain from that? Oh boy, another world war with millions of deaths immediately after the last one. Great fucking idea.
>>698793
Probably not. Even in a best case scenario, an attempt to topple Russia would have caused tens of millions of deaths and the wholesale devastation of most of Europe.
Absolutley. Communism must be stopped wherever it is
>eww math
Why do humanities majors say this?
You will never use Theory of Groups in real world anyway.
ive never said that
i dont like doing maths because i find it difficult, doesnt mean i have anything against mathematics or mathematicians
>>696649
Group theory is useful as fuck you idiot
What went wrong with the decolonization of Africa? Did they rush it or did it not come fast enough? I noticed that Francafrique still acts as the french empire lite
Black people were free to chimp out again, so Africa returned to how it was before colonization (with AKs instead of spears)
Colonization was the problem. It established economies that were dependent on exporting to the western world, and installed or supported governments that would keep it that way. Nothing much about this changed over the course of the twentieth century.

Back to /lit/, PoC apologist
Where should I start and focus to get a good grip on Evola?
The Upanishads
>>682986
Start by killing yourself
>>682999
Well, trips don't lie.
See you, space cowboys.
Is Rome series historically accurate?
>>682978
No, but I'm always reminded that I'm old when I encounter people who did not watched it.
It was very popular back a decade ago, and it still holds well.
Very, very loosely.
First season was great though and the second was good for what it needed to do.
how historically accurate does a film, show, or play have to be to be considered historically accurate?
Would a movie that is 75% historically accurate be considered a historically accurate movie?
Let's talk food history.
Any favorite TV programs or books about historical food/food in history?
Supersizers Go was one of my favorites. I wish they would have done it for different countries as well.
good show, she is my favorite lesbian
Back in 2012 I went to a Titanic dinner where they recreated the 10-course dinner meal from the first class. Not my pic, but it was good times.
Ive always had an idea for a book, that tells world history through certain dishes/ ingredients and features historic recipes.
I think dumplings should be one, With heavy emphasis on China and the silk trade.
Perhaps the humble potato or tea for the colonial era.
Anyway what do you think /his/?
How come they called it the holy Roman empire when it wasn't holy, Roman or an empire?
>>682720
at certain points it had all those qualities
>this meme
>>682720
I'm sure you already know this, but that soundbite was said after the empire had decayed into a sad collection of german princedoms surrounding austria.
It was a little bigger when it started.
If you could live your life in any time period in human history pre-1900 which time period would you choose?
I'd like to go back to around 1000 A.D. Scandinavia when vikings were becoming Christians, not sure why. It just seems like an interesting time
>1793-94 in France
>be Representant en mission from the National Convention
>BTFO royalist traitors in Lyons and the Véndee
>round up all of the local priests and nobles in a field outside of town
>open fire with cannons
>desecrate churches and religious cemeteries
>get drunk on communion wine
>tfw it will never happen
I agree it's interesting. I would go back to when Christianity was illegal in the Roman Empire and asked some Romans why they had converted
Mid-Republic Rome so i can witness Poenic wars in all their glory
I have huguenot ancestry. Tell me about my people.
>>682093
Why are you asking muslims? I used to live in East Anglia, a lot of Hugenots settled there after they were driven from France.
>>682093
It birthed in 843
Peaked in 1811
Got humiliated in 1940
You can find plenty of book on the history of the French people
>>682105
How on earth was my question directed to muslims?
I'm reading the Phenomenology and I guess I'm not entirely sure exactly what is being said.
I'm up to the chapter on force; so I'm pretty early in the book. I'm using The Logic of Desire as a secondary, but I'd like a second source as well that maybe spells things out for me.
Like what exactly is he saying about absolute truth in the introduction and early chapters. Is he saying that we can know the thing in itself by studying its appearance, or is he saying that there is no such thing as a thing in itself at all and that we can only know appearances.
dude
dialektik
lmao
Did you get the lobotomy first, like you're supposed to?
Make sure to huff gasoline for 20 minutes prior to each reading session
>>682058
Look up H.S. Harris's "Hegel's Ladder", which is a comprehensive two volume study of the entire Phenomenology. It goes paragraph by paragraph, and it spells out pretty anything you could spell out in every passage. You can find it on Bookzz, though, as a heads up, it's a .djvu and not a .pdf.
