THE FACT THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT CONSCIOUSNESS CANNOT BE PROVED JUST REVEALS THE NATURE OF THE IMPAIRMENT OF PERSONS LIKE YOURSELF.

>>2564487
Prove it then.

we can't even define or explain what consciousness is in a useful way

Chinese rulers have a hard enough time conquering China.

They simply don't have the time or the inclination to care about the world in anything other than a superficial way.

what a retarded question you stupid motherfucker.

Give them a break, they kept the secret to silk production for a very long time

Multicultural societies are inherently vulnerable to authoritarianism, because humans are inherently tribal creatures and prone to sacrifice their civil liberties to deny perceived threats the same liberties.

>>2564097
But weren't the old ass civilizations heavily multicultural?

Brazil isn't any more multicultural than America. It is however, much more multiracial.

>Scotland didn't fight in the crusades in any meaningful capacity
I'll have a source with that thanks

>>2564081
I'll have a source for the contrary. Name one great Scottish crusader. Even Good Sir James basically an-hero'd in Spain fighting moors because he couldn't crusade in the Holy Land.

>>2564094
>I'll have a source for the contrary
that's not how honest discourse work
either give a source that backs your thesis, or source things that will indirectly support your thesis
I'll make it even easier for you, you just need to find a single account of how many scots participated, and compare it to which amount of other people participated, then take into account how Scotland was sparsly populated and was located in a distant region of the world than, like, basically every other crusader state

>defeated by people with greater tech

wow

>>2564026
None of the groups mentioned had ''greater tech'' nordics are simply weak.

>>2564021
>defeated by Celts
They were just raiders and there were probably instances of Vikings sacking Celts and defeating Celtic forces
>defeated by Saxons
They were just raiders and there instances of Vikings defeating Saxons and vice versa
>defeated by polabian Slavs (Konungahela sacked by Racibor)
lol wat
>defeated by Moors
Never happened
>defeated by native burgerclaps
A hundred or so Vikings starving doesn't count as a victory for the native Americans
>defeated by Franks
Normandy makes your statement invalid

Hitler: The Rise of Evil (Yes I know it's a memey title)

It's got a few inaccuracies here and there, but it's a very good portrayal of Hitler, specifically showing how much of an autist he was who just wanted to kill (((normies))). Plus Robert Carlyle is based as fuck.

The whole thing is actually on Youtube as well.

I don't want to watch World War 2 trash for goodness sake. Western history isn't just World War 2 and the fucking 1960s. I bet you're a leftist.

1. Mehmed was ok
2. They collapsed

>Say something positive about the Ottomans.

They ceased to exist.

I am Italian from Roma and I can certainly kick some American ass.

hate to break it to you, but we are stronger than the people of antiquity

>beat the shit out of the current American male
I quite doubt the average american grandpa in his prime wouldn't have been able to ream the arsehole of the average american male.

Hard to say tbqh

>>2563465
Definitely the south.

>>2563474
Also, Jeff Davis was a pretty good writer.
Btw, I hold with Edmund Wilson on this. It was an inevitable conflict between two cultures and economies drifting apart.

Slavery is obviously an evil, but secession if the American Revolution was justified, then so was this.

dude was a legit badass

has his story been embellished, probably...pretty much every "great" historical figure has had there story romanticized in some way


but dude defeated The Lionheart in singular combat

>>2563459
>many consider him the greatest knight in European history

In English history (although he was French)
Bayard was the greatest knight in European history

>>2563575

hmm

there's a football named after them

casinos?

the game of lacrosse is supposedly and indian game

of course we used indian names for plenty of lakes and rivers, so there's that as well

also a few states draw their name from indian words, but those are further west

Their land was pretty useful.
