All European knowledge came from the Muslims, who protected jews and conquered with tolerance for those who could pay the jizya.

The Islamic "Golden" Age was already BTFO the moment Temujin rode his first horse. And the pre-Mongol Turks didn't help.

What if the whites' genocide over Indigenous Americans never happened, and both cultures developed hand in hand?
The United States would have been of a non-white majority from the get-go, and thus white-American pride/racism would've had much more trouble manifesting across the majority of people.
Not to mention, if the Natives had a voice from the beginning, the values of gratefulness & kindness to the earth would have been stressed to no end, possibly reversing the near-extinction of the American Buffalo amongst thousands of other wonderful creatures & plants. Not to mention, the average American might actually be a virtuous, genuinely good person!
>I know! Crazy, right?!
I know this is a bit of a fantasy, even if our nations did grow up together in relative peace, there's always those insecure, prejudiced assholes that band together and wreak havoc for 'the greater good...'
Nonetheless, given the state of things today, it's safe to say the world could have been a much better place if we just let the ol' redskins join the party instead of slaughtering them like vikings.

Only white Americans aren't allowed to have pride according to the op. If they do have pride it's automatically a racist negative.

ITT: darkest philosophy
Carlo Michelstaedtr: suicide is the only true act
> Once consciousness refuses to forego its quest for a meaning that is no longer available, it is left to affirm nothing but voiceless passion. That is the point at which "man would rather will nothingness than not will at all." Suicide becomes the self's only proper act, its sole affirmation, the form of a transcendent and impossible identity.
>the "philosophy of life" that inherits the metaphysical project induces cosmic suicide. And this explains the cryptic parable that appears on the first, blood-stained page of Persuasion and Rhetoric. Having sketched an oil lamp in the process of extinction, Michelstaedter glosses it with these words in Greek: "The lamp goes out for lack of oil. I, overflowing at the brim, extinguished myself."
>Michelstaedter's suicide does not attest to the failure of persuasion, as one might be tempted to read it. It enacts it. For the suicide, as Schopenhauer argues, does not will death. The suicide "wills life ... and is only dissatisfied with the conditions under which it has presented itself to him. ... Just because the suicide cannot give up willing, he gives up living."

A mirror is a flat surface at which you gaze not into but at thinking you see yourself. But you never will. You see a painting of what the the world sees of you but never see your own face. Without it you'd have a completely different sense of identity.

Strange powers. The supernatural. /x/ shit.
It sometimes crops up in verifiable, documented ways in recorded history. It's pretty funny to see modern scholars try to dismiss it.

Why was Nestorius and Nestorianism antathemized by the West and the Monophysites? He did not preach any new doctrine, but only upheld what his Antiochine mentors taught. These very mentors, such as Diodore of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia were universally respected in their own lifetimes, and none dared to call them unorthodox; it was only after their deaths, did cowards seek to undermine their legacy. And considering how many fallacies and absolute falsehoods they were charged with, and how Nestorius was so unfairly treated, anybody with a brain should see that it was his opposition who were heretics.

Why do Americans seem to think King George III was responsible for colonial taxation?
Is it because it's easier to demonize a monarch?
Lord North is to blame for letting things get out of hand, George was an intelligent moderate.

If 'white' is an American meme and Americans never made a big distinction between 'white' people, then why have literally all US presidents been of completely "Germanic" (English, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, German) or otherwise of the British Isles (Irish) descent except for one?
Why have didn't the US ever have a president of Italian, Polish, Jewish, Spanish, or Greek descent before they finally had one of sub-saharan African descent?

Who told you that?
>>
>>2502442
The existing elite class has always been Anglo with a smattering of NW Europeans. The ethnic groups you mentioned came to the United States long after the ruling class became more or less entrenched. Your list of presidents' ethnicities reflects the maintenance of old power structures, more than anything else.

It hasn't. It has always been about exploitation and rich cunts dodging shit whilst the poor paid for it.
