If I were to travel back in time and kill one person to prevent Holocaust, what would be more effective, killing Hitler or Luther?
Jacob.
>>3261419
Killing Hitler. Luther caused an ideology but that's an ideology that would have appeared anywhere considering how much Germany hated the papacy and its hypocritical ways. Someone else would have started shit.
Kill Hitler and the Nazis never come to power the way they did if at all.
Luther's antisemitism was probably not that abnormal for his time.
During the medieval ages, how did people distinguish between each other with the same first name (I guess only name)? Like a city of any size is clearly going to have a bunch of Johns and Sarahs, right? And if you traveled, would you call yourself just Sarah or Sarah of London when outside of London?
Nicknames, lineages and occupations.
>>3261353
At least in certain places (esp. eastern Europe) patronymics and matronymics were popular. John son of Fred, or Sarah daughter of Rebeccah, to distinguish you from other Johns and Sarahs.
>>3261353
During the Medieval Ages, the actual pool of names you'd need to know would actually be very small.
Is Franco the villain he's often made out to be?
>>3261255
Yes

Yo /his/, what is the correct English translation for German "Ständegesellschaft" and "Stand", preferably in the medieval sense of the word. Also how would one translate "ehrbar" in the social context?
also general medieval thread I guess.
Are humans a virus?
The purpose of life is to expand and consume.
memes are
>>3260524
No, "virus" is a scientific categorisation created by humans and humans do not meet the criteria.

What do you guys think of this?
This is a pretty interesting topic
The only holocaust that matters is the jewish holocaust.
I'm a german and I apologize to jews
>>3260434
I just finished listening, it was pretty interesting but really didn't give much more information than the plethora of other podcasts/books that have dealt with Caesar in Gaul.
It's worth the listen if you're not too familiar with that part of Roman history.

Why did France have such a poor choice of allies all the way through history ?
(not counting uk alliance or nato which is modern history)
>Scotland
fucking useless
>Ireland
even more useless
>Poland
the epitome of uselessness, i mean it's the fucking poland lmao, the bullied kid of europe, partitioned so many times nobody's counting anymore
>USA
"""allies""" who turned around and fucked france as soon as they could
>belgium
doesn't count
>ottoman empire
basically "let's ally the bad guys since nobody else likes us anywyays"
>the motherfucking AMERINDIAN TRIBES
just lol, can you be more desperate than this ?
Franco-Spanish alliance was the only non-useless one and that didn't last
Why does the rest of Europe hate France so ?
>>3260323
Ireland and Scotland were faithful and useful allies throughout Frances history

France declared war to every country in Europe, why would you like them
"WWI was totally different, Anon. Germany did nothing Wro-"
>>3260314
True.
>>3260315
The only good Belgian is a dead Belgian?
>>3260314
Both sides were cruel against their own citizens and to the opponent's citizens. Germany wasn't exceptionally cruel, that's just the success of allied war propaganda.
How come this guy was never tried for his war crimes?
>>3260082
Because every Confederate was guilty of war crimes themselves by fighting to uphold the institution of slavery.
>>3260082
Because he did it for the greater good of mankind. Also, won the war, not like this southern losers.
>>3260082
Well?
Northern scum.

What does /his/ think of modern psychology? I'm currently in undergrad and can't believe how many of the studies we learn about have no vallidity and are constantly being disproven. The samples are all just white undergrad psyc students and the dodgiest statistical techniques are used to get published.
What do you think about psycotherapy? Would you see a psycotherapist? Or is it airy fairy pseudo-help.
>>3259848
I had some basic contact with psychology through my classes in medical school and went to psychotherapy myself over the years. A lot of psychologist seem almost religious in their behaviour, in the sense that they have 2-3 favourite thinkers in psychology and blindy idolise them and everything they've ever said. A lot of it seems to be theories and theories built upon mere assumptions and loaded with vague statements.
Psychotherapy can be helpful, but some of the therapists I've seen didn't even bother much applying their skills. They just seem to give you CBT 101 and send you to a psychiatirst (read: drug dispenser) if it doesn't work. No one seems to be attempting an individual approach with each patient. Maybe I've run into all the shitty ones, don't know.
>>3259886
That sucks, there's not much more damaging then a bad psychotherapist.

>buddies gf goes crazy (daddy issues)
>he suggests she go to the shrink
>other buddy who had psychological issues in high school says "bad idea man"
>she suddenly hates him and they break up a month later
>one year later
>my gf goes crazy (daddy issues)
>tell her to go see a shrink
>both buddies "bad idea man"
>suddenly she hates me
>"you don't validate my opinions" (you don't tell me in right when I'm wrong)
>we break up a month later
I enjoy reading Jung but I'm never having anything to do with a shrink again
Was it wrong when communists attacked institutions of the church? Was the church a legetimate target because of its old alliance with the ruling regime?
1. No; it's unfortunate that nuns and priests were killed, but the White Terror in Spain was far more brutal anyway.
2. Yes, and because of the amount of land it owned. This, plus Franco needing outside help from the Krauts and Italians, proves that it's truly fascists who want to be ruled by outside forces.
ofc it was wrong! look at all those peaceful muslim imams influencing youth to follow the right path today
instituted religion is cancer
Christianity should not have temporal power or property, it is unnecessary.
I'm curious about the specific actions and policies that allowed for the centralization of multiple crowns in a personal union to become one kingdom. Spain and the Hapsburg dynasty are both strong examples of it happening, but I've not found a lot of explanation on how it was they not only held the crowns together but restructured them into singular realms.
So how did they do it, /his/?
bumping for interest
>>3259367
RNG or bird mana
>>3259367
But they didn't restructure them into singular realms. They continued to have different laws, tax codes, rights, important duties, trade regulations, and parliaments where applicable. The holding of multiple crowns was just that, holding multiple crowns. At no point did the crowns centralize into one united state. It would take until the sweeping changes of the French Revolution for states to begin sweeping aside this feudal order and move towards centralized, modern nation states.

What does it mean to be a historian?
>>3259183
You tell nice stories that people want to believe that may or may not align with what the sources that you quote are actually saying.
read, write, research, teach.
Being a historian means dedicating your life to the preservation of history for future generations.
