Make Athens great again?
Easily the most significant personality of the 20th century.
Why does Western media always talk about the Tiananmen massacre but not the Gwangju massacre? Both happened in the same decade and resulted in thousands of protesters deaths.
>>2698833
Bump
A bias perhaps?
South Korea is US ally, so media will be more biased.
They remember what happened in Vietnam with the burning monk event. They don't want a repeat of that to take place and topple the US puppet state again

Hmmm thanks for the answer

explain yourself some more OP
Discuss King Arthur, both the historical and legendary. Who was he?
Was he an amalgamation of ancient Celtic heroic demigods and other myths?
Was he a Roman Sarmatian cavalry commander of the 2nd century or his descendant?
Was he the British king Riothamus who fought alongside the last Gallo-Roman commanders against the Visigoths?
Was he the same person as Ambrosius Aurelianus who led the Romano-British resistance to the Saxon invaders?
Was he really the one who fought the Saxons at the Battle of Badon and pacified them for over a generation?
Did he really reign over the island as a High King or some kind of Emperor after that?
Or was he just a military commander or amalgamation of several characters from that period.
And related, discuss how the legendary aspects of the story coalesced such as Merlin and Excalibur and how they may related to the historical narrative.
Also lets just talk about parts of the myth we enjoy. Like when Sir Balin stabbed the Fischer King in the dick with the Spear of Destiny.
>>2698721
I believe he was the one who fought the Saxons at Badon, and the lieutenant of Ambrosius Aurelianus.
The myth, the legend, herself.
Myth made up by the local destitute church to bring more patrons/money to the failing church. The myth then grew to become a local legend.

I've heard he said that "The Jews weren't the real jews because the real Jews are schwartz (black in German." Is this true? It also speaks of this conversation that's sourced in some books but I don't know how it originated.
>"The Americans have the jewels of God. The Americans have stolen God’s precious jewels. “What do you mean his precocious jewels?” THE SOLDIER asked. Hitler said, “America has stolen the Jews. The Jews of God. His jewelry. The Negroes. They are the true Hebrews. What a foolish move and a direct challenge to God. And they plan on moving these false white Jews into a state of Israel.”
Have I been bamboozled? There are tons of sites that make the claim that he said it. I'm not a Hitler sympathizer or anything i'm just curious
>>2698174
does it really matter? He's dead.
>>2698179

The question is why would he say it? He's supposed to be this evil racist man, why would he out of nowhere say the African Americans are the real Jews and why does no one mention that he said it?
>europe is a continent because of it's cultural and geographic disparity with the rest of asia
Why isn't the Middle East (MENA) considered it's own continent if it fits with the criteria above?
>>2697754
Its not a continent but most people do recognize that North Africa and the Near East are generally a unified cultural area.
>>2697754
UNHAND IRAN YOU DIRTY ARAB FIENDS
>>2697754
Because you're wrong about why Europe is a continent.
What's the deal with it? I don't personally know any Jewish people for their Faith's stance on the matter, and the only articles I found were huff post or religious sites that argued there was no and plenty of archaeological proof respectively.
Is the story of exodus (fantastic acts aside) based on a historical diaspora or so Egypt just get a bad wrap because the Jews needed an antagonist state for their story?
There were Semitic kingdoms in Egypt during the second intermediate period. They got BTFO around the same time as the exodus is presumed to happen.
>>2697721
Ah, so not becessarily slaves but a population displacement nonetheless
>>2697686
Jews don't consider their holy texts to be infallible, nor do they treat them as history. They're the story of the Jews relationship with their god, so the fact that large parts (all of it) are fiction doesn't matter, theologically speaking.
For ~40 years Israeli archeologists have looked for evidence of Exodus, and found nothing. Most Israelis consider the whole story to be a myth, personally I think it's the story of Moses and the Levites, who came from Egypt to rule over the other tribes (who were already in Israel, since they were just regular Canaanites before they converted to Moses' religion).
Was pederasty real? If so, how did it become so accepted in major classical and medieval cultures such as the Romans, Greeks, Persians, Chinese, and Japanese?
I was trying to talk to my friend about how classical history is interesting, but he just said he didn't care about the history of boy fuckers.
I think the problem with looking back at controversial topics is it's impossible to poll true public opinion on it. I don't believe a majority of North Americans (looking at too Canada) are thin-skinned knee-jerk closet xenophobes, but you wouldn't know it looking out the present state of society. Same thing. I doubt pederasty was ever widely accepted in any of those cultures.
>>2697655
Pederasty was real but it didn't involve sex, it was a system of education. Sure some gays surely used the system to fuck sweet boipuccis but that was very much the exception and was illegal in every Greek state, punished with expulsion from the state (essentially a death sentence).
>>2697655
So why is pedophilia considered the vilest crime in the eyes of modern society?

Why do eastern european, southern european and even latin american writers, composers, philosophers, etc ( catholics and orthodox) are usually much better than the anglo-germanic ones (protestants)?
For instance, we can't even say that philosophy really exists in America.
In the anglo or germanic world you have a large number of intellectuals, but most of them are just mediocre people abov the average well organized and well funded.
In more "chaotic" societies you have fewer intellectuals but they create much more geniouses. They are isolated and can't organize themselves, tho.
Fuck off ESL
add the fact that if you don't speak english you will be unknown, sometimes even in your own country
>>2697638
Unless you discount contemporary composers. 1960's and later music pretty much balances it out. Also, as far as philosophy is concerned, the west has nothing to be ashamed.
Was it built by Egyptian hands or Greek? Also Ptolemaic Egypt thread
The Hellenistic era empires is so comfy.

How much does climate take a role in the development of civilizations?
Warmer climate = humans prosper
colder climate = humans suffer
We're moving towards colder climate.
>>2697193
It's very important but in a way that is extremely complex and difficult to predict. Jungles are shitty, for example, but there have been a bunch of advanced civilizations in jungle. Deserts are also bad but of course three of the four ur-civilizations arose in deserts. Europe is too cold and wet but of course it today dominates the globe. Really almost anything you can say about how climate shapes cultures can be disproven with a counter-example.
>>2697202
So why do cold climates boast several very successful civilizations?
/his/ made me realize Sardinia is the hidden Jewel of the Mediterranean
>>2697101
well at least they're modest.
You realize that people in Sardinia don't actually dress like that regularly right? That's from a festival for tourists. People in Sardinia are only slightly less nigger-tier than their Sicilian brothers down south, still mostly degenerates.
>>2697167
Prove it.
Does the goverment have the right to execute you?
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. The flesh of subversives should serve as the parchment upon which the State marks it's will.
>>2696872
>implying most executed people aren't non-political criminals
Only God should dispose of a man's life.
