Probably the most influential American history book in recent times. It basically set up how American history is taught:
Killed the Indians ---> Revolution for white men ----> Slavery ---> Civil War ---> Jim Crow ----> WW2 with emphasis on internment/hiroshima ---> McCarthyism ---> JFK died ----> Civil Rights ---> Vietnam ----> Race riots ---> 9/11/gitmo ---> Iraq War
Plays on emotions too much. Glad I read it though; now I can have an informed discourse on it's contents when they're brought up.

IDK if Fonda really had that big of an effect on the vietnam war. I mean, yeah, she's a fucking retard, but american public opinion was more swayed by how poorly the US high command was running shit.
>>2830420
Extremely dangerous because it is easier to sympathize with them and see them as victims which causes people to not view them as threatening.

Why do early depictions of Moors (pic related) show them with light skin, but later ones (the flags of Sicily and Sardinia, Shakespeare's Othello) conflate them with Africans?
Its easier to villify an enemy if he looks different than you.
>>2830185
his question is why weren't the moors dark skinned from the beginning
Because ignorant monks did all the drawings.

Is it true that religion creates a very toxic society, where every religious child is submitted to emotional and physical abuse since they are young, therefore they develop personality disorders like narcissism, psychopathy and borderline personality disorders? Religious people seem to suffer from disorders caused by extreme abuse and they can't feel empathy even if they try.
Why are rates of sexual, emotional and physical abuse so much higher in deeply religious communities?
You can't just lump in every religion around the world into one category of "religiousness". I could make a pretty compelling case that life under a government is bad if I lumped all governments together and made North Korea their representative. You should be asking this question about a particular religion or denomination.
People who were abused as children tend to be more empathetic methinks desu

What did the Western and Eastern Roman empires think of each other?
Did they both see each other as the successor of Rome?
>>2829679
Depends on the time period.
They both saw themselves as Rome. As they were both Rome.
The administrational structure was just split in two, to make it easier and freeing the eastern half from the dying corpse of the west.
>>2829679
They were Rome.
So, this is the culmination of all battles, romanboos against werhboos.
Who would win? 1 million legionnaries commanded by gaius julius cesar himself
vs
One single tiger tank , commanded by Michael Wittmann
Saumrai win
>>2829541
I don't think you understand how much a force 1 million soldiers can make, just by the numbers.
Tank loses
>>2829541
The tiger tank doesn't have enough fuel and ammo. I doubt they even have enough food.
Do you notice that nowadays people use the politically correct term "Stalinist", e.g. "Stalinist regimes", instead of just using "Communist regimes" and so on, in the academia? How come?
The USSR under Stalin was a very different place to the USSR after Stalin.
Probably because they're referring to Stalinist regimes and not communist in general.

Is it true that the Council of Ephesus was rigged against Nestorianism?
>>2829266
No, that's fucking retarded and that poster is just an edge lord contrarian
>>2829266
I'm pretty sure councils can't be rigged
>>2829266
The conclusion is proper. Maybe not the way the argument is set up, but Catholicism is fake Christianity, and always has been.
These steppeniggers fought with China which is one of the oldest civilization. Then they went to west and caused fall of West Roman Empire (Huns). 500 year later they came again ( btw they are still fighting with China) and they destroyed fucking East(Seljuks and Ottomans) Roman Empire. Entire Roman Empire the father of Western civilization fell because of them. While they were doing these they destroyed Abbasid Caliphate which have Islamic Golden Age. Then they contiuned these as Ottomans. Is there any other fucking nation that have a stability to will to destroy humanity and civilization?

Thanks to Russia they were not threat in Central Asia anymore.

Why is he admired so much?
Only thing he did was to bring misery and death to lots of people, and his "empire" fell with his death, causing even more human suffering.
Sure, he had a big impact on history, but so did the bubonic plague

>implying that conquering nearly every relevant region of the known world, despite being at a disadvantage (disease, logistics, mobilization, etc), while still being a fucking 20 year old boy is fucking amazing. This combined with his relentless persistence make him a symbolic inspiration for almost every (classical) leader and commander.
And do you even know how significant the Hellenistic influence was for the whole region?
Why did Yahweh shoot up the school of Indo-European gods? Did those blonde, blue eyed hunk chad beasts steal his big-bosomed Jewish female counterparts? Why did he use Christianity and Islam to extend his worship from just the Jews, to the whole of the gentile world? Did he need more foreskins to gobble, and gentile slaves are filler for his otherwise delectable Jewish ones? Does Yahweh still consider the Jews his Chosen?
