What if Hitler did everything the same way, or at least started out intending to, but tried to work with Britain to move the European Jews into what was then known as Palestine, now modern-day Israel? Would he be remembered more kindly?

No, everything would turn out exactly the same. The only way Hitler would be looked at differently was if he didn't upset the economic establishment and kick out international (mostly Jewish but also a minority gentile) capitalists and financiers, but at that point he isn't really Der Fuhrer, he's just some populist leader who gained power and didn't do anything important with it.
>>
>>2731715
No. The war was entirely about balance of power and realpolitik, and everything else was just window dressing.
>>
>>2731715
No, given that he didn't have the foreign currency reserves to move all the Jews into British territory, so really, the entire plan is a no-go.

How did languages started? How did they spread?

At what point in human history did people start labelling physical and abstract things in specific sounds? How did they manage to teach these things to other tribes and spread their words?

People spend lifetimes trying to answer these questions.

But there's little question that it started in pre-history. "History" begins with writing.
>>
>>2731635
People copy each other. If someone makes a specific noise at a certain object, it's an instinct for the other members to copy him. That's how slang spreads so quickly. Someone makes up a word, and without any organised effort or even a conscious acknowledgement, the whole town is using that word within a month or two

Language evolved with us, first modern humans must have already had proto-language 200k years ago. Developed language appeared around 75k years ago.

of course it's related. Stalin was in fact good guy but got bad PR due to le ebil gommunism meme. If not him USSR wouldn't industrial superpower like it was. It was rural shithole when bolsheviks came to power, and he fixed it. Thanks to industrialisation living standard in russia rised greatly, and thanks to industry they could beat nazis. He made his country stronger to the point it could challenge USA

For example if two languages had been swapped would the cultures also be swapped? even to a small degree?

Language would dictate how a view of things would be dictated.

A language that placed importance on names/objects/identity would try to construct a view where those names/identities are fixed existence.

A language that placed emphasis on connections between objects/names/identity would try to construct a view of the world where interconnectedness is the default mode of assumption.

Language would not only change culture, but change the very way in which our minds construct reality and shape out very thoughts.
>>
>>2730476
Geography and culture dictates the way the language developed, the whole 30 words for snow thing.

But i think in this era most places would be fine if they swapped since we all live similar life styles, you'd only get weird shit if you swapped English and some tiny amazonian tribes language, where now we call computers magical thinking boxes.

Although in Chinese a computer is literally "electric brain"

>Gauls

Why did democracy originate in Greece and not in say Africa or China or Scandinavia? And why did it take so long — 2,000 years! — until another nation (the USA) adopted it?

Nietzsche gives a hint when he talks about the quantity and quality of Greek personalities — unrivalled in all of antiquity — before which even the Renaissance pales. So, first off, realize that, after removing women, children and slaves, only about 10,000 Athenians voted. Athenian democracy was not about empowering the weak, but about a very powerful average people whom no one was strong enough to bring to heel and rule. Democratic tendencies — when they appear naturally, through the will of the people, as in America and France, not imposed on them by outside as in the third world today — are a symptom of advancing civilization, and of a plurality of wills and voices that are becoming increasingly harder to control. In Greece this occurred 2,000 years before anywhere else simply due to how absurdly civilized that nation was compared to any other. So educated, inquisitive, multifarious and demanding that, at times, there was simply no one around strong enough to control them, and that's when and why democracy was instituted — not as an ideal solution, but simply for lack of a better one, to avoid a complete disintegration of society. And that's why Sparta never became democratic. Sparta was strong, but stupid — almost uncivilized compared to Athens. Even in Rome republican tendencies would take centuries to evolve, and would never get anywhere near how far in this direction the Athenians went, simply because the Romans — even at the height of their powers — were nowhere near as civilized as the Greeks had earlier been.

Democracy is nothing more than a big tribal council involving all the males in the group.

Centralized government spreading over more than one community/city often demanded more than something as slow-acting as a democracy.
>>
>>2730203
Yeah dude, this is mostly complete false. The U.Saturday adopting democracy is a meme and a half. Rome had democracy, the HRE had democracy, plenty of other places in europe, asia, and even the middle east and Africa had democracy.
