Reminder that the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Carthaginians, Phoenicians, etc. had much more in common with each other, their Mediterranean bros, both culturally and genetically than they did with other peoples on their respective 'continents'.
Reminder that blacks of usually sub-saharan West African descent going WE WUZ EGYPTIANS AND SHIT just because their ancestors shared the same 'continent' as Egypt (which no one back then even thought in terms of) is literally the same thing as the descendants of irrelevant northern barbarians saying VE VUZ ROMANS ANN SCHEIBE even though the Romans basically thought of them as aliens.

Does the Italian language has any significant Germanic influences from the Ostrogoths, Lombards, Franks, Normans, etc?
>>2496887
A few hundred loanwords, including some well known personal names like Luigi, Guido, Federico, and Enrico.

What did you expect from a cult made by a man just to get pussy?
>>2497009
I knew it was a scam religion but I thought it just had weird beliefs. Now I know it's a pseudo-masonic web of hidden knowledge and insanity.
There is literally no difference between Mormonism and any other religion, they are all retarded
Is it fair to say that these are the only areas of the world worth studying not counting colonies?
Is the Indian subcontinent important too? What happened there? I know nothing about them before the British conquest.

Basically every part of the world is worth studying. And I'm a bit triggered that you didn't include any of the Americas because advanced Native Americans were very interesting.
And yes the Indian subcontinent is important. It's only home to some of the oldest literate civilizations on the planet.
I'm fascinated with Sikhism. The mix of religiosity and militarism reminds me of Prussianism and the Caroleans.
Sikh thread.
It's too bad the Sikh realm couldn't get its shit together and retain their independence. They could've been the Switzerland of South Asia. They were a useful bulwark against the Afghans for the British. It's too bad none of Ranjit Singh's successors kept the clans together.
They carry these to kill Muslims with
>m-muh Khalistan!
what were your professors like in college, /his/?
I particularly remember a revisionist marxist history prof who was visibly burnt out and liked talking about modernity. He started showing us cat memes with utter contempt by the end of the term
I had a really right wing history prof who was pretty awesome
I also had a few of the typical purple haired types in some of the social science courses, they're the worst profs

Why shouldn't we empathize with animals as much as other humans?
Despite caring for animals being impractical as fuck, I've never heard one single non-bullshit argument against it.

Do you understand the significance of tribalism in an evolutionary context? Guess what, it applies not just to groups of humans but humans as a whole.
>>2496502
I do, but I don't see why shitty tribalism should be used as a basis for ethics.
>>2496496
Why should we?
What are the arguments for abolishing theism?
>>2496472
Theism is a belief, not a practice, so it doesn't make any sense to talk about "abolishing" it.
Joseph Stalin tried with his Militant Atheist League. Claimed he would erase the concept of God from the Soviet Union.
In his later years he became a staunch Russian Orthodox paritioner.
Now in Russia it is hard to find serious communists. But Orthadox Church bells ring every morning.
Who is laughing now?
It prevents the masses from having complete and absolute loyalty to the state.
Did Poland really deserve what they got in history?
I would think so, yes.

Both wrong.
Stop falling for the democracy meme.
