The British economy was basically a paper bag that collapsed after only one year of war. After that the """Empire""" could only fight with America paying for everything.

>British "empire"
What did he mean by this?

Every European country was suffering from a relatively fragile economy thanks to WW1 and the great depression.

>>2635037
This.

It is the only reason America rose to dominance over it's parent European nations like Britain, France; Germany, et al.

Why do you think so?

Horsedrawn carriages usually relied on the strength of the horse. When going downhill, the weight of the carriage would rest on the horse's harness, holding the cart back.
Men could also dismount and help by holding it.

A lot of work went into developing and optimising the harness, but also breeding good draft animals.

That they thought the system they created was perfect and meant to endure forever.

That they were Great Men.

They weren't rampaging hypocrites, and that their values were universal and not a product of their historical context

There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt.

Worse than there has ever been or ever will be again. But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.’ Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you!’ After that I will leave.” Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.

>>2634552

I just found out that Moses wasn't actually Jewish, though he was an ethnic Hebrew.

So he was a Pagan Hebrew who talked to himself, interesting right.

I would think there's nothing there to raid, farmers and more poor ass farmers

That's like going to the hood to rob niggers

>>2634545
Balts raided them, but I think that happened increasingly as the Viking age progressed/ended.
I don't recall Slav raids before 1000AD.

I'm the opposite

science is merely a branch of philosophy
and religion is merely a placeholder for it

At least try to put some effort.

>>2634520
I concur, humanities should be completely removed from educational facilities and STEM made mandatory learning. Imagine the advancements we could make this way.

I question why everyone looks so ugly.

I question why Jesus isn't middle-eastern with white hair and red eyes like in Revelation.

I question why everything is made of clouds instead of precious metals and jewelry.

>I get yelled at by Platonist heathens who think the physical descriptions of paradise of metaphors for an immaterial existence despite that being heretical as fuck.

I ask why everyone is so ugly again.

so far so good

Also wanted to add this quote i found

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with important personal qualities will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

- Arthur Schopenhauer

thoughts?

>>2634279
Both are beneficial to society.

Patriotism: "I like my country"

Nationalism: "My leaders should put my country's interests first."

>>2634279
Patriotism is loyalty to a political unit. Nationalism is loyalty to a "nation", which is usually defined as some sort of language based ethnicity. So no, they're not the same thing. A nationalist and a patriotic pair of Transylvanians back in 1914 Austria-Hungary are likely to have very, very different views on things.

Daily reminder that Wilhelm was an /r9k/ pro

>Wilhelm had seen the interview as an opportunity to promote his views and ideas on Anglo-German friendship, but due to his emotional outbursts during the course of the interview, he ended up further alienating not only the British, but also the French, Russians, and Japanese.[5] He implied, among other things, that the Germans cared nothing for the British; that the French and Russians had attempted to incite Germany to intervene in the Second Boer War; and that the German naval buildup was targeted against the Japanese, not Britain.[6]

>The British leadership had already decided that Wilhelm was mentally somewhat disturbed, and saw this as further evidence of his unstable personality rather than an indication of official German hostility.[7]

>The Daily Telegraph crisis deeply wounded Wilhelm's previously unimpaired self-confidence, and he soon suffered a severe bout of depression from which he never fully recovered. He lost much of the influence he had previously exercised in domestic and foreign policy.[8]

>The effect in Germany was quite significant, severe embarrassment was followed by serious calls for the Kaiser's abdication. The conservative Junker politician Elard von Oldenburg-Januschau was the only member of the Reichstag to defend the Kaiser throughout the Affair. Wilhelm kept a very low profile for many months after the Daily Telegraph fiasco, slumping into a deep depression, never fully recovering from the humiliation. He later exacted his revenge by forcing the resignation of the chancellor, Prince Bülow, who had abandoned the Emperor to public scorn by not having the transcript edited before its German publication.[9][10] Bulow recalled in his Memoirs that:

>"A dark foreboding ran through many Germans that such...stupid, even puerile speech and action on the part of the Supreme Head of State could lead to only one thing - catastrophe."

Fuckin´Wilhelm was a dumbass. Clueless on foreign policy, and highly insecure. He fired Bismarck, because he started opposing Wilhelm.

OP literally copy-pasted a post I had made in a thread about Vikings some days ago, and used it as the OP for his new thread. I don't know if I should feel flattered, this kind of things don't happen every day.

>>2634207
Tbh it was on my mind and when I saw your post I thought it was well articulated enough to just copy and paste it. The point still stands that I think that vikings are overrated and I would like to know just why the hell they're so praised and loved despite being very meh.
