Were the crusades the first instance of white colonialism, white supremacist ideology and white expansionism?

I am pretty sure even reddit would disagree with this. It is a very inaccurate anachronism, I have never seen any clear evidence of white supremacism from that era.

The soviet union had, undeniably, the most alpha anthem (and Russia's current adaptation is almost as good).
Second place probably goes to La Marseillaise.

If we're going to be completely honest, Japan attacking America didn't help matters because right up to pearl harbor the civilian populace still didn't want to get into the war, FDR was begging for a reason to get into it and Japan gave it to us.
However there was no real way that Germany would have won the war, Stalin would have at some point turned on Hitler but that raises the question if whose side FOR would have taken.
tldr: Germany would have lost in all but the most unlikely and extreme scenarios.

>Africa was filled with lush lands
Not exactly
>This study shows that continent-wise 55 % of land area in Africa is unsuitable for agriculture and 16 % of land area has high quality soils which can effectively be managed to sustain more than double its current population. These soils are spread among many countries making it difficult to develop a continent-level strategy to equitably help all countries. Africa has more than 8 million km2 of land with rainfed crop potential, however much of it has not been used for this purpose. This potential land reserve needs to be carefully evaluated so that rational policies can be developed for their exploitation. A large part of the potential land reserve is currently under forest but is increasingly being subject to slash and burn agriculture. The fact that there is a potential land reserve should not lull decision makers into reducing research and developmental activities for other parts of the country. Enhancing effective land area by increasing cropping intensities instead of increasing land area under cultivation is an important policy consideration. Reducing population pressures on stressed ecosystems and keeping marginal land as 'set-aside land' for nature development, are also policy concerns that affect intergenerational equity.

>Southeast Asia is tropical and they were able to succeed, Africans just were just lazy
No. Southeast Asian is endowed by volcanic and alluvial soils with greater degrees of rain. Java one of the great examples of human density has rich soils thanks to a series of "recently" dormant and active volcanos. Something not found in most of Africa.

>Africans didn't domesticate any animals
No. We see prehistorically both the local "wild" cow and a Sahara sheep penned and raised. The former was absorbed with incoming cowherds from Eurasia and the later ended at the beginning of the dry period that occurred in the "Neolithic" Subpluvial
https://books.google.com/books?id=dwK5CwAAQBAJ&pg=PA220&lpg=PA220&dq=barbary+sheep+sahara+penned&source=bl&ots=CEblTo6pW1&sig=NRUy-dzbWYeZYUdFOx111tRMHXQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZjP3rvd3VAhUmrVQKHf1DBEgQ6AEIaDAN#v=onepage&q&f=false
>What we may be witnessing in fact are two or more centres of morphological domestication occurring, a phenomenon which frankly should not be surprising. >Perhaps as part of re-evaluating our epistemological and theoretical approaches to early cattle domestication in North-East Africa, we should also consider discontinuing the antiquated use of imported terms such as Neolithic (Gatto, 2011; Wengrow 2006) and instead continue developing appropriate regionalised archaeolological traditions (cf. Garcea, 2004). This is a wake-up call for North-East Africanists more broadly to better critically engage with the trends, methods and theories being developed elsewhere both on the African continent and elsewhere, as many who are fauna and faunal specialists already do
Mind you there is also the donkey and a native subspecies of pig was also domesticated.
Though most of Central Africa had diseases that inhibited their dispersal unless lands were clear cut and regularly burned.

>African farmers were lazy, they didn't take advantage of the land
No.
>In Africa, however, the need for scheduled consumption shaped the development of food production.
>African cattle were domesticated during the tenth millennium BP by delayed-
return Saharan hunter-gatherers in unstable, marginal environments where
predictable access to resources was a more significant problem than absolute
abundance. Pastoralism spread patchily across the continent according to re-
gional variations in the relative predictability of herding versus hunting and gathering. Domestication of African plants was late (after 4000 BP) because
of the high mobility of herders, and risk associated with cultivation in arid
environments. Renewed attention to predictability may contribute to under-
standing the circumstances that led to domestication in other regions of the
world.
>Some African patterns, such as the use of small-seeded crops, patchy adoption of food production, and continuation of hunter-gatherer societies,
resemble those of eastern North America. Others, such as domestication of animals before plants, may be sim-
ilar to Andean patterns. African data also reinforce some commonalities noted for many loci of domestication.
>Arid conditions following the end of the Pleistocene are often thought to have catalyzed subsistence change (Bar-Yosef and Belfer-Cohen, 1989; Harris, 1996b; McCorriston and Hole, 1991; Moore and Hillman, 1992; Piperno and Pearsall, 1998). Finally, the African data sup-
port Harris’ contention that pristine domestication processes are rare, and
require unusual combinations of biological and cultural circumstances.
We argue that concerns about predictable availability of
resources, rather than increased yield, catalyzed domestication in Africa,
and suggest that renewed attention to predictability may contribute to understanding the circumstances that led to domestication in other regions of the world

Any philosophy buffs here that can give me a bit of a run down on Schopenhauer? I don't know much about his works, but from what I do know, he seems like the only philosopher I can relate to.
I guess what I really want to know is what he thought about if you weren't a sage, but you still defied the will to life by finding a mate you actually like rather than are compelled to breed with. I can hear the devil's laughter after I masturbate to degenerate shit I feel compelled to. The only thing I can masturbate to without hearing it is my waifu. Not only do I not hear the devil's laughter, but I actually feel good after an orgasm. Obviously this isn't the same as find a real life mate you can actually enjoy copulating with, but it seems close enough to warrant my question. If anything, it defies the will to life even more since I'm physically incapable of impregnating her.

Aristotle seems like a meme philosopher. He's got some good stuff, but he's kind of more of the stepping stone to bring philosophy into the world.

I'm not doing any work with philosophy. I just had a question I thought could be more quickly answered by asking people involved with the subject than to do my own research in his works.

So, I know we have 100 gorillion Hittler and WW2 threads a day, but i'm genuinely curious.
What difference do you think it would of made to the contemporary times and our modern times if WW2 had happened like it did, but without Hittler's genetic cleansing autism?
Would it be viewed more like we view WW1? How would it affect people's values in the late XX and XXI century? What would the propaganda efforts focused on without the big obvious thing to focus on?

No, it would not be viewed like WW1. Nobody wanted to see ANOTHER German chimpout, especially so shortly after the last one. Instead of focusing on the Nazi racism, it would just be focused on Nazi revanchism or militarism or their totalitarian tendencies in general, their corurption, etc.
For fuck's sake, you had the rather vivid reaction and declaration of no conditional surrenders even before anywhere close to the full extent of Nazi atrocities came to light.
>>
>>3254241
Would focusing on that bring such repulse from the mainstream public as it does now tho?
>>
>>3254268
You only need to look at how much the mainstream public villifies Stalinism to see the answer to that.
