Unlikely. They did have a cult of head-hunting, but by all accounts the Druids anathematised human sacrifice. Accusing your rivals of hideous crimes is an age-old propaganda technique, one the Romans used all the time. What makes this particular slander so egregious is that the Romans DID practise human sacrifice, only they did so for entertainment, not for religious reasons.

No, there was nothing inevitable about it. Pooland could have survived without the superior Lithuanians, all they had to do was be better neighbours. Constant Polish aggression for centuries eroded all affection for them not only among their subjects, but among their peers (Moscow and Germany), it's this that doomed the Poles to oblivion, too bad they took the Lieuts with them.

>>2583771
Poland is literally the most innocent country to ever exist. Name ONE fucking war they started excluding that one they declared on Russia.

I have no idea what you are talking about specifically. This is obviously just an excuse to push your whacky pedo ideology and you are too mentally ill to construct an argumet. Get help so you don't waste your only life.

Early marriage was more usual in the upper classes and especially royalty.

This is because marriage was all about property and alliances. The age of the bride and groom didn't matter.

Humans naturally look for paedomorphic features in their notion of beauty. Our adults have facial structures with the least difference from child ones.

Humans can have excessive desire for such features down to desiring children themselves.

The mistake of pedophiles is to assume that their excessive desire is an argument for legalization, onto itself. It doesn't make them more noble. And the justifications given are tone deaf to the natural desire of parents to keep their children away from the predations of men.

Which leads me to another thing. Fucking humans, normies and bots, have to feel "good" about everything they do. There's no admission of sexual desire and release. It's always in these retarded parameters that have nothing to do with the struggles of real life.

Cuatemoc (his nephew) was briefly king and seemed like a better leader. He certainly understood the Spaniards better.

>>2583640
He was a decent Tlatoani. Under his rule the empire expanded to its maximum extent.

>>2583656
that makes it even worse, he was a fierce leader who conquered a sizable empire and lost it all to about 60 dudes who literally couldn't escape because Cortez burned the boats

He had the right idea. Everyone was much happier as farmers, fuck cities.

The crazy thing about Pol Pot is nobody even knew who he was till like 2-3 years after he had already taken power.

The Khmer Rouge were insanely secretive and kept even their leaders classified. Before that they were simply "The Organization" which you followed or got shot.

Because the modern, industrialized war was super-expensive and bloody. No government wanted to go back home with a peace treaty that they couldn't sell to their people as being worth dumping millions of young men and god knows how much money into; and as the costs of the war rose, the necessity of total victory for purely domestic reasons rose with it.

Jesus, how tall is that guy? Looks very short compared to the rifle at his side

Because they lost the war and were in a catastrophic military situation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Megiddo_(1918)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Caucasus_expedition

Their military situation had collapsed completely over summer 1918 and Germany and its allies were on the retreat on all fronts.

This is probably a crypto-/pol/ thread meant to blame Jews so we need to nip the myth they weren't losing the war catastrophically until the Spartacist Revolt in the bud.

>>2583486
No.

Germany had a significantly higher chance of winning WW1 than WW2

Define "won" and also "WWII"

*gets BTFO by a blind 98 year old man*

nothing is moral or immoral, you faggot, it's just impractical and results in a net loss of calories for humanity as a whole
do you know how much energy it takes to even gestate a baby for 9 months? way less than you get from eating the baby, numbnuts

>waiting 9 months for a single meal
>this is what cannibals ACTUALLY believe

shit isn't sustainable

>>2583255
Either because:

A) It requires an act of killing, which is generally considered to be a Bad Thing, or at best a necessary evil. Murdering people so you can eat them is frowned upon for reasons that don't need explaining. Eating those you've killed in battle or as an execution is more complex, but it could be argued that this would lead to killing people for their meat which is a Bad Thing (just kill a cow you fuck).

B) Like many unhealthy things it's become a social taboo for valid reasons, just like fucking your sister or eating your own shit, which leads to being considered immoral. Cannibalism CAN be done in healthy and sustainable ways, but preparing the body would take skill, and the meat is more likely to contain dangerous diseases. Hepatitis is a five thousand year old disease, and eating a carrier who is not yet showing symptoms would not be the best idea. Better off eating a cow.

>>2583295
But what if there's no cows or you don't want to waste a milking cow when you already have someone that died from say an accident like falling of a roof.

git gud and work with research

>fuck with the imperium
>wahhhhh why is the imperium fucking me in the ass
like clockwork

Imperialism never had benevolent intentions. White man's burden my ass. I support imperialism but don't try to spin it as something it never was.

>>2583140
hmm but i thought imperialism was objectively a beneficial thing for the colonized territories???

America and Russia would both think of themselves as the leaders of the survival team when in actuality China is the true leader. South America and Africa die first. Most of the middle east dies. Israel goes all lone wolf but manages to survive. Western Europe is able to contain the outbreak until one shithead fucks it up and they all die.

>>2583037

I don't understand the question.

Go back to posting CMANO scenarios on /k/

They should follow a specific set of policies and rules.

Here are mine:
1. Understand what makes you feel good.
2. Take choices which are more likely to make you feel good.
3. Understand what makes you feel bad.
4. Take choices which minimize that bad feeling.

We shouldn't. Life is an accident

Make of that what you will

>>2582937
how do you prioritize good feels and avoiding bad feels

- Broke the union of Christendom even further
- Caused numerous religious wars that wiped out 30% of the population of the German territories of the HRE
- Allowed the Ottomans to remain unchallenged in the Balkans

>>2582914
>Broke the union of Christendom even further
that may have been the result, but it was not his intention
he wanted to reform the church, as he saw it had become corrupt
I think his theology is very bad, but I don't think it came from a bad place
look up the practices of the catholic church during that age

>Caused numerous religious wars that wiped out 30% of the population of the German territories of the HRE
I'll agree that Luther's action did make that happen
but remember that the HRE was hardly united as it was, and "common faith" had not stopped them from infighting before
and most of the genocides happened when France, Sweden and the other great powers got involved
that's when you had mercenary armies looting the lands and killing the peoples
it was hardly about religion at that point, as France was catholic

>Allowed the Ottomans to remain unchallenged in the Balkans
wtf does this have to do with Luther? explain pls

Why does the image include Hitler?
