How do we fix Spain? And I'm not talking about genocide and secessionism ideas. Tell me your ideas, /int/, Spaniards especially
Now, I'm really interested in the country, so it's not my goal to shitpost through the entire thread. What else can be done to continue and perhaps accelerate Spanish growth? I believe it's cultural. It's proper to seek causes and symptoms in distant history. Ever since the Roman divide of Iberia, the locals followed a strange, warrior-duke like model of society based on very faulty feudalism. The Christian-Muslim divide and conflicts helped deepen this society and give it a new, religious dimension. From the adelantados and encomiendas to the reducciones in the mismanaged colonies, golden inflation and a good 16th and 17th century military run to sustain its extravagance, Spain has had it all, except a sound economy. For example, the population of Spain before the discovery of the Americas was around 10 million, about the end of the 15th century, it sank to 8 million. Imagine the conditions for two milion people to escape. Ever since the Middle Ages, the culture of idleness gripped Spain. The kings suffered to create so many titles for impoverised nobles that these people would rather all be petty militiamen than work the land and gain wealth through it. Now we're getting to the greatest shame of Spanish history: Agriculture. It is estimated that one third of Spanish land was wastes, and they imported grains even from Poland and the Baltic states. Not even going to mention their industries like cloth/wool, iron and such. The Spanish were never predispoed for work. Spanish culture is a culture of vagrancy, previously, military vagrancy. Now we have a situation where the Spaniards are apparently thinking shortsightedly again. Spending pensions to incentivize shitty, but steadily rising domestic consumtpion. How long until this ride lasts, with already unchecked banking system and badly reformed public sector?

I'm cursed with opening threads, am I? Not a single thread I've opened went over 40-50 posts and I've been here for years
If we cannot genocide the socialists, there is not any possible solution.
Quick, tell me more about Poland. My new gf is Polish and amonly thing about Poland I know is where it is on a map.
Ugly language, bad cuisine, very shitty people, terrible politicians, boring countryside and shitty culture, hideous cities, shitty music and cinema, pathetic army, neo-colonial economy with almost non-existant native industry and the list goes on.
Poland is literally the shitbucket of europe
Its as big as germany with half the population and nothing impressive ever came out of it
Never won a war or start an empire
Sucks ball at sports of any kind
Implied huge jewish population but sucks shit at finance and economics
Hitler literally see the poles as subhumans and wants polish clay so he can populate the aryans from germany in it.
Any average person will only know poland as "that country that was annihilated by the germans in the WWII".
Most are surprised it still exist.
Most people cant even find poland on the map and consistently mistook poland for either hungary or austria.
Its a country that is consistently bullied by countries around it and have absolutely no power to fight back due to its absolute low morale within its army and people.
Poland is so uninteresting and dull that nobody, even the arabs or the indians(well known for their immigration to western countries) wants to live there
Poland was supposed to be extinct and the amazement of it continuing its pathetic life like a dying rat is what makes poland literally the shithole of europe.
So fucking useless and incompetent you mistook it as a 3rd world country.

Which world culture has contributed the most to science, history, and the humanities?
You may consider either contributions per capita, or contributions overall.

Anyone who voted for anglos has no knowledge of history desu
>>51105447
Anglos have been on top since Waterloo. We blow everyone else out of the water.
>>51105550
That's what i'm talking about "since waterloo"
For 95% of human history anglos (and their ancestors) were snowniggers doing absolutely nothing
What were the original inhabitants of Britain doing when the greeks were philosophizing and the romans were conquering? Nothing
What were the anglos doing when the frankish kings drove the muslims out of France? Nothing
What were the anglos doing when the renaissance was sweeping through Italy and mainland europe? Not much, you could say that Shakespeare and Francis Bacon were relevant but compared to the number of writers,painters and etc from Italy it's laughable.
Where were the anglos when an italian sailor under the spanish crown "discovered" America?
If anglos are so relevant why does most of the world uses roman (therefore arguably italian) based laws and the roman alphabet?
Also,if you grouped anglos together, latins (not latin americans) should be together too.

I drive a slammed Hyundai, and all the faggots in muscle cars try to race me. I mean, it's clearly obvious your car is more powerful and will kick my cars ass, but then I paid $25,000 less than you did, so who's the real winner here?
Huh? If you see my car as competition, and I paid up to $25,000 less than you, then what exactly are you saying? Why are you treating me as a peer when clearly my engine is inferior? Seems to me like the $25,000 you spent was a waste, because you still end up challenging shitty Hyundais after dropping all that coin.

It's always nice to ask first.
Why do non-Americans always have to cherrypick and omit facts when they say the US hasn't contributed anything of note to science?
because Americans are so fucking stupid that when an actual intellectual with American citizenship does something it's feels wrong and impossible

You have 300 million people, it's not suprising that you actually have some people who can invent. What's more surprising is Israel.
Yesterday 21/11/2015, 4chan was bought by a portuguese man named ''Alberto Barbosa''
>It was during one of these outings when Barbosa decided to buy the site. “Hiroyuki came to Lisboa and we [got] drunk” Barbosa recalled. “Then he said he wanted to quit. But he and I want 4chan survive,” and that’s when Barbosa offered to buy the site. “Someone has to continue 4chan,” he said, adding that “I borrowed money” to make the purchase.
In his homepage, people are posting t. Alberto Barbosa all over the board /int/.

They should worry about the Dunmer. Redguards are fine.

They adopted Iberian laws and cultural norms. Land ownership was limited to nobles, among other things.
North America, however, had a more egalitarian starting point.
