How were single men allowed to wield so much power over life and death? Weren't things supposed to get better as human civilization progressed? Then explain the 20th century with its totalitarian regimes and brutalities on industrial scales.
something something nationism
There is no such thing as social "progress", you've been lied to, social forms follow a cyclical pattern while only technological history forms a vaguely linear pattern.
I dont know, brutallity is as old as human kind, we probably just get shocked more by the murders of Stalin or Hitler just because they are so relatively well documented and recent, and totalitarianism is not really a new thing.
Was this the most batshit insane African war

While on the topic, what war was it that was won by basically 600 special forces taking civilian airlines into the country?

Remember that time Henry Kissinger saved the entire planet from a nuclear WWIII?
>President: See, the attack in the North that we have in mind, power plants, whatever's left - POL [petroleum], the docks. And, I still think we ought to take the dikes out now. Will that drown people?
>Kissinger: About two hundred thousand people.
>President: No, no, no, I'd rather use the nuclear bomb. Have you got that, Henry?
>Kissinger: That, I think, would just be too much.
>President: The nuclear bomb, does that bother you?...I just want you to think big, Henry, for Christsakes
>>2542906
He really did deserve that nobel prize after all
Kissinger himself stated that he thought we were much closer to nuclear war in the Yom Kippur War in 1973.

>Mandaeans
Who are these people? Apparently they are Levantine in origin and left while the area was still under Roman rule. So are they Hebrews (WE) or some offshoot that managed to survive all this time in Mesopotamia?
They are clearly Black Africans. Proving without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus was Black and all European Christian art is whitewashed.

They are an alien race from the Star Wars EU

Why should I tolerate evil?
>>2563335
They are demented and crave conflict with their fellow man over nonsense reasons.

If you don't tolerate other religions then don't ever mutter the word "religious freedom"

He says on the Internet, something which wouldn't exist if everyone had the same attitude as him
>>2563315
Christians care about there lives so much they try to live good lives. They even frown upon abortions and encourage large families. As for caring about the world, I'm not gonna waste my 80 years obsessing over shit that won't matter anyway.

How were Baby Boomers different from the generations before and after them, and why are they so hated?
they are hated by young people because young people of this age are insufferable
They had the privilege of living through the greatest period to be alive if you were an American.
As a european idc about baby boomers. They didn't personally fuck shit up.
>>2562785
This desu. When they were growing up, opportunity was everywhere and it was hard to fail if you were driven. These days it's hard to get ahead even if you are driven, but they still act and govern like it's the 1960s.

What's the obsession with the (anarcho) libertarian meme amongst burgers? How in (((gods))) earth could anyone ever unironically think that it could be compatible with a modern society without this society being set back at least 200 years in history?
> Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
Each of them believe he would be a millionaire if not for the government holding him back and roots for the most rich-friendly ideology. This is basically how GOP convinces poor people that taxing rich people is wrong.
Canada has a libertarian running for Conservative leader/Prime Minister who unironically calls himself Mad Max. If that's any indication of how the country will be under him then I don't want to vote for him. He also posts on his facebook about redpills and other memes.
>>2562583
Are gods Jews? Stupid use of a meme.
How on earth is a post-industrial economy sustainable? Lets face it: Most people aren't STEMfags or Humanitiesfags. When the West moved from a preindustrial economy to an industrial economy at least that person who's family has been blacksmiths for 10 generations could get a job at the local smelting plant. When the smelting plant moves the China and nothing takes its place what's he suppose to do? Become and IT guy? Ridiculous.
dude ubi lmao
he's supposed to die
Capitalism completely destroyed local industry, craft work, and culture. Communists are cringey but they get a lot of things right.
With the theory of agriculture turning Sahara into the desert over the span of thousands of years proven, combined with the findings of burials over the period of thousands of years and finds what may as well be some form of proto-pyramids, humanity will discover the ancient civilization of Sahara in 2017. This could finally solve the riddle of what gave rise to Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations that seemingly suddenly appeared in the Middle East with already advanced levels of technology, religion, culture and organization.
Not to mention this could, if not covered up by the Jewish interests, explain the origins of all creation myths and be a link to greater pre-ice age civilization.

I wonder, did Green Saharans come from Iberia or Near East?
I could see arguments for both.
>>2562232
Why would they migrate so far? They could as well be native to Africa. Sahara became desert only relatively recently, who can tell what sort of environment was it? Maybe was as good for human evolution as was East Africa.
It is a vast region that's bigger than entire Europe itself.
Ancient aliens.

i think my family was really lucky what do you think ?
My grandad was part of the British Eleventh Armored Division, part of the Anglo-American troops that walked into Belsen. Said it was horrific and never spoke of it again.
Other Granddad was an evacuee. He didn't like it, so ran away to come home to his Mum in London.
My grandfather worked at Nintendo. I think he was pretty lucky all things considered.
>Dad's side
Grandpa in the Navy, supply administration
Grandma at home

Grandpa in the Army, claim to fame part of the Normandy invasion and having a rocket land 10 feet away from him that was a dud
Grandma worked as a code breaker/interceptor in Connecticut

because the left champions and favors victims, as they would depend on the state, and white people can actually handle their own shit and prefer to be left alone.
white people are seen as aggressors
