>Nader became increasingly cruel as a result of his illness and his desire to extort more and more tax money to pay for his military campaigns. New revolts broke out and Nader crushed them ruthlessly, building towers from his victims’ skulls in imitation of his hero Timur. In 1747, Nader set off for Khorasan, where he intended to punish Kurdish rebels. Some of his officers feared he was about to execute them and plotted against him. Nader Shah was assassinated on 20 June 1747, at Quchan in Khorasan. He was surprised in his sleep by Salah Bey, captain of the guards, and stabbed with a sword. Nader was able to kill two of the assassins before he died.

How fucked would our global civilization be if over night it became completely impossible for humans to knowingly tell a lie?

Do you think this would end with a net benefit or net loss for human societies?

It would be a staggering, enormous benefit. There would be a period of initial chaos, but then humanity would most likely leap forward in a tremendous burst of progress.

Tell me about Turcopoles in Byzantine Empire. What were they? Were they Turks? If yes then why would they be christian?
10 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
They were basically half Greek, half Oghuz Turks that served Byzantine Empire. For some reasons some Turks converted to Christianity and married Greeks there, Turcopole literally means "son of turk" in Greek language.
>Why would they be Christian
I think Turks were not religious. Some of them could even be pagan (Considering the very recent conversion of Oghuz Turks to Islam and Seljuks being descended from Khazar/Nestorian people)
>>
>>3141786
Oh and meaning of Turcopole was different in crusader states. Turcopole meant either christian arab cavalry or just light european cavalry (they didn't even have to be Turks or half Turk)

What could be bigger than “Absolute Everything” (or is “absolute everything” the biggest concept)?
8 posts and 1 images submitted.

>>3141679
Absolutely everything and every posssible quantum ideration of everything.
>>
>>3141679
By definition nothing, but is nothing a thing?
>>
>>3141689
I mean, is it really the case, that “Absolutely Everything” encompasses all things, without exception? And whether there are more things than it?

Sorry for my English, it's not my native language, thank you very much.

Any recommendations for books and/or documentaries on the IRA campaigns in the mid-late 1900s? I think it's crazy that there was a almost 30 year long guerilla war fought in a modern first world country.

What do you want to know?

If you're from /pol/ it might interest you to know the regime persecuted Jews (known as Beta Israel) and eventually the majority left the country with Israel even participating in secret operations to rescue them.
>>
>>3141207
In many ways it was necessary, I as a minority benefitted atleast from previous generations in some ways by the policies but it was dictatorship totalitarianism too.

I'm ambivalent, some older habesha are angry but they were slave owning mass landowners with serfs so fuck them.

Because he didn't think the war would be a total one, and that Hitler had already essentially won. He would show up, win a few easy concessions from France, and the thing would be over in a few weeks.
