Why did Romans keep women around?
Considering that they had arguably the most homoerotic culture of human history, and that women don't make good soldiers or builders or administrators (in this case they weren't allowed to), why would the Romans waste food on them? Shouldn't a few stud females suffice?

Listen homo, just because they fucked anything that moved doesnt mean women didnt have their place there.
They just enjoyed all out orgies, with plenty of women and young boys.

In 1968 the Iraq government distributed to the farmers some wheat seeds covered in a red insecticide. They told them that those seeds were of higher quality because they were resistant to pest, and that they should ONLY BE USED FOR SEEDING.
A lot of farmers didn't believe them, and fed them to their cattle, which then died. Some even ate them, thinking the red coating was tomato sauce. They got extremely sick, some even became blind.
Those who survived, seeing those seeds weren't good for consumption, dumped them all in rivers, causing a mass fish extinction.
I do not know what lesson to draw from this. I just wanted to share it.

Japanese history is all deceptively boring.
What happened in France to have such low growth and Germany to have such high growth of population?
>>3315768
Didn't France have a lot of emigration to their colonies like Algeria?
>dat napoleonic dent
Vive!

There was no Germany in 1800, you dense fuck. What the fuck does this chart represent? The entire population of HRE? Prussia?
Why are western historians so prompt to call anything that doesn't fit their narrative "mythical" especially when it comes to east Asian and Indian archeology and records ?
>>3315750
They do that with western stories too. Just look at King Arthur, for example. Everyone is just trying to one-up each other in terms of being an edgy skeptic.
>>3315770
The Arthur thing is probably an adaptation of primordial indo-european history though

Erich Koch is probably one of the nastiest desu. He hated Slavs and when the Russian army was entering East Prussia he refused to allow evacuation. I think at one point he requisitioned a train that was meant to transport civilians and put all his furniture and belongings on it.

That was never really proven (as much as I wish it was).
How did Semitic religions spread so effectively? How did Indo-European paganism manage to thrive in the East but not in its original heartlands?
Christians and Islam had control of the biggest empires and biggest armies.

Jews are a very deceiving people who know how to make others do what they want.
>Kill those Germanic pagans goyim, they don't believe in YAWEH
>Kill those Orthodox heretics pagans goyim, they don't follow the papacy
>Kill those Catholic papists goyim, they don't follow true Christianity
All of Europes history since the edict of Milan has essentially just been Jews convincing brother to kill brother by preaching the name of god.

Because they are from God.
Would it be morally incorrect to go out at night and murder criminals, such as pimps or drug dealers, if it was primarily, for the actor, a form of stress relief?
maybe for that specific situation but in the long run itd be cleaning the streets so that's good
>>3315679
Go after serial killers and rapists instead please. Thanks, vigilante-anon.
Pimps and drug dealers are people too and are worthy of redemption.
Long time lurker, and sorry if this has already been asked (I'm pretty sure it hasn't), but I'm interested in North African history (particularly Carthage and pre-Hellenic Egypt, am even studying Ancient Egypt at here at uni).
Anyway, I digress. This interest in North Africa got me looking into Sub-Saharan Africa. That's barely talked about, right? Maybe it's just uncommon history.
So I looked it up, and I was gobsmacked. There is not a single civilisation, a single invention, or even a single figure of note in all of Southern Africa. Their history can be summed up as:
>dick around in the jungle for 50,000 years (we don't know, since they didn't even have wroting!)
>whites show up and buy some of you
>go back to dicking around in the jungle for another 400 years
>whites come back and conquere you
>dick around for another 100 years
>become independent
Why is this? Why was Africa the black sheep of continents? Even South America managed not one, but two civilisations.

i was writing a good reply but I realised your stupid hyperboles and greentext show you don't give a shit and you are a useless historian who is not doing history at university.

Who is the most evil person in history?
Albert Fish and Carl Panzram were pretty off the chain. Thing is - the worst pathological torturers/rapists/murderers would be the ones who could do their thing with impunity - which mean they never got caught. There were times in the medieval period where the homicide rates were off the charts, chances are there were some serial killers then who make all "modern" ones look like a joke.
I wouldn't consider any leaders to be the most "evil". Because if they were capable of holding together a nation or army they inivitably made some peoples lives better, and they were capable of some human interaction. The worst would have to be some lone-wolf fuck-up.

>4chan sees weak body and effeminate behavior as "degeneracy that will bring about the downfall of the West"
>Need for physical strength and masculine behavior is the typical trait of uncivilized societies
/pol/ is not the entire imageboard, fuck off
>>3315559
"effeminate behavior" means irrational and emotion based decision making - not a trait typical of civilized societies. Not the ones that are idolized, anyway.
>>3315575
So the United States isn't idolized?
Why are Finns, Estonians and Hungarians speaking Uralic languages and not Indo European?
>>3315539
cuz they r Uralic ppl???
>>3315542
Hungarians because of elite domination
Finns and Estonians more so because of male mediated folk migration
>>3315545
>Hungarians because of elite domination
there's literally no source for that. stop being retarded. also hungary is ugric.

This.
Japan's housing went down some 60%+ and haven't recovered since. Japan refused to take the fall and now they're stuck, they will never see growth again. The same problem most western countries face today.
