Even the Congo has been greatly exaggerated.

o wait

With some of the points raised;
If 1 million or 10 million people died, it would still be ranked as a horrible humanitarian disaster and would still discredit colonialism.
His argument that each Force Publique soldiers had to kill 200 people is fairly nonsense, it isn't like they had to shoot everyone, just disrupting agriculture and commercial life is easily enough to spark famines and epidemics.
The argument over African agency in this case is fairly irrelevant, as those were Force Publique soldiers, it was the existence of European colonialism that enabled them to engage in such actions. Colonialism is not just focusing on the actions of the whites involved but the effects on society as a whole.
The Belgian commission of 1919 and Charles C. Liebrechts, a high official in the Congo Free state, both estimated that half the population died. The "alternative hypothesis" put forward doesn't do anything to counter that, at most the numbers can be altered, but the relative suffering and misery on the populace is unchallenged.

This doesn't do much to counter the Belgian Congo, at most it can be possibly (I'm sure there are other demographic researches into the Belgian Congo population) claimed that the extensiveness scale is off, while intensively it rests the same.

Oh man, how awful.

After a doctor examined Staps and pronounced him in good health, Napoleon offered the young man a chance for clemency.

>‘You are a wild enthusiast,’ said he; ‘you will ruin your family. I am willing to grant your life, if you ask pardon for the crime which you intended to commit, and for which you ought to be sorry.’ – ‘I want no pardon,’ replied Staps, ‘I feel the deepest regret for not having executed my design.’ ‘You seem to think very lightly of the commission of a crime!’ – ‘To kill you would not have been a crime but a duty.’ … ‘Would you not be grateful were I to pardon you?’ – ‘I would notwithstanding seize the first opportunity of taking your life.’ (13)

Staps was executed by a firing squad on October 17, 1809. His last words were: “Liberty forever! Germany forever! Death to the tyrant!” (14) Napoleon refers to this assassination attempt when he visits his former police chief Pierre-François Réal in Napoleon in America.

seems pretty obvious

What does "illuminato" mean?

Isn't that the Italian/French word for Illuminati?

Was Napoleon worried about the Illuminati killing him?

i am sad that you actually had to ask this question OP

>>2578211
wow this is such a hard question to answer

Holodomor denial is just as stupid as denying the Holocaust or the various Ottoman genocides (Armenian, Greek, Assyrian, etc.)

Literally all mainstream historian of all political persuasions believe that the Holodomor was a man made genocide.

It was a deliberante famine by Stalin and his jews to kill millions (perhaps tens of millions) of Ukrainians.

>>2578167
Did the Soviet Union purposely target anyone? I've read about how Ukrainians said it was targeted at them but I've also read about millions of Volga Russians, Belarussians, Kazakhs, etc. also dying. Why would the Soviets want to murder 7 million of their own? Was it because of racism? Or getting rid of people who they feel could pose a threat?

>>2578054
How did the Soviet Union influence Finland?

>>2578074
Finland didn't get Marshall plan money and cozied up to the Soviet Union a lot.

>>2578074
Finland was basically a soviet bitch after WW2

It got so bad that in 1958 Finland held second election after the first one made the soviets mad.

basically become caligula but with a KGB which has decent surveillance techniques and the ability to D notice press outlets at will. then fuck with people in creative ways for lols, in between fucking every 'it' girl that takes my fancy.

for example pass a law that any journo i dislike has to say "i am a lying cunt with an agenda and everything i am about to say is a lie" at the start of every news item or in every piece they write.

>>2577987
At that time Hitler alreasy encouraged violence againot them. It would probably be something like how the KKK treated blacks, with the government ignoring it.

The goyim know! We must flee to NYC!

>>2577995
Nice try shill, but te KKK just went after the niggers who were rapists and criminals. They left ordinary blacks alone otherwse.

Uh no, obviously not, you could just meditate while you starve to death like many devoted spiritual gurus have chosen to do.

he brought noodles and called it spaghetti

Youre thinking of Yankee Doodle.

He stuck a feather in his cap and called it "macaroni".

Ibn Battuta doesnt agree

Go bach to Reddit.

oh no
I forgot about his birthday

He was an artist. His art has value.

Is there some other bullshit metric that is supposed to matter? Did he love his children. Did he make jokes about the the Virgin Mary? Did he masturbate to bizzare German pornography? I don't care.

The music is good.

Of course because this is the modern era we have to judge him out of context and declare that he was a religious fanatic and supporter of the patriarchy who was secretly gay and of course a black ethiopian atheist with an oddly shaped jewish penis who was secretly fighting the church by hiding musical clues in his music for Tom Hanks to discover on his quest for Monty Pythons holy grail. But it doesn't mater because his music was secretly written by an ancient alien who was actually Slavic.

>>2577686
I think it was a lot due to languages. Coptic clergy spoke Coptic to a Coptic audience. Greek priests had no chance of wining the propaganda war.

>>2577698
Well, the question is then why Coptic clergy were more sympathetic to Monophysitism than the imperial Chalcedonian orthodoxy.

>>2577716
Just happens, some people in the central clergy, like the archbishop, gets it in their head, that jesus is not human. With writings, education of clergy and spreading of the word, soon all of Egypt is Monophysite.

>>2577682
why?

>>2577696
Because the internet is a fun place and we should all just have a good time
