I was born so called "jewish", although I hate judaism and all other religions. I am 100% atheist.
It has always boiled my blood to know what the germans did to us the so called "jews".
I wish the Romans had won the battle of teutoburg forest, and then continued to conquer "germania" , make it a Roman province and slaughter the entirety of the germanic tribes.
Then hitler and the nazis would have never came into existence.

Dunno I'm curious if someone could answer who has read more on the battles and tactics.
All the painting show cavalry charging into pike blocks with musketeers shooting? Is that just romanticism because that seems like suicide? How did any side push the other? Massed artillery? Cavalry charges only on disorganized areas of the lines? Also what role to the swordsmen play? Could they break lines? It seems sorta like a weird variant of diadochi warfare but different due to guns

Just google gustavian infantry. Also might have been the time frame that mobile artillery came into play actually.

Why does /pol/ claim that Germany was winning WW1 until the Jewish "stab in the back".

I've looked at the major battles going on at the time shortly before the "stab in the back", and it seems like the war was going pretty badly for the Central Powers

Because the Germans back then never really experienced wars inside their homeland, so it's easy to indoctrinate their mindset.

>WW1
Competition between European powers boiled over, too expensive not to have a war, as the only alternative was deescalation.

>WW2
Germany got blamed for WW2 and was punished heavily by the allies to set them back, destroying their economy. Italy had been an ally but got fucked in the aftermath of WW1. Separately, Japan wanted to be an empire. Germany lashed out, Italy followed them in the hopes of receiving their gibs, and the Japanese just went nuts in Asia.
>>
>>3098922
Oh, and ended:

>WW1
Mass slaughter all round, Germany surrendered. Allies completely fuck it in the Treaty of Versaille.

>WW2
Allies invade Germany, detonate two nuclear weapons in Japan. Germany is temporarily partitioned between the allies, but this partly remains for the duration of the Cold War. Nippon rebuilds and becomes Anime land

Funny how the foods people make fun of blacks for eating are food that southerners eat. Is associating blacks with the south supposed to be an insult to blacks?

How common was cuckolding in antiquity? What wee the reasons for social acceptance or scorn?
7 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>3098512
Common.

In pre Islamic Arabia men of a lower status would want there wives to have children of men of a higher status, so they would allow a wealthy man to have sex with his wife to have a child of half noble birth. Women would also let multiple men have sex with them and when she got pregnant she would be allowed to choose the father. This ended with the introduction of Islam.

Women in France also had a taste for African men since the enlightenment times (if I remember correctly). They aristocratic upper class women would apparently have affairs with black men in a bizarre fetish.

The Etruscan's had a similar practice of the pre Islamic Arabs apparently, the women were very free to "sleep" with whoever they pleased and were allowed to determine the paternity.

There were and are many other bizarre practices all over the world.

That was for women and men. The amount of slavefucking that went on in Louisiana and Haiti was unreal. It's not a coincidence that France had Europe's first black general.

Do the US really have a official civil flag?

Technically, yes. But I've never seen it in real life. Nobody uses the civil flag. It's kind of like how America's official system of measurement is technically the metric system.

>>3098452
So does it really look like this? I only found some unreliable sources with quotes about the stripes going vertically, but you can just rotate the normal flag to get this you know
>>
>>3098502
Not 100% sure. I've only seen it online. Like I said, nobody uses the flag in real life. On my street, there are American flags flying from almost every house, but none of them are the civil flag. They're all the normal flag.

Damn. San Francisco can't catch a break. As for changing history, well the truth is that such an event happening in any civilized part of the world would have massive and unpredictable repercussions because people would study what had happened and it would have who knows what sort of impact on the development of science.

This screencap seems to come up a lot, so I thought it would be worthwhile for us to make an edit with the answers inlined, to save everyone time and possibly enlighten anons who would otherwise be taken in by the question-begging and blatant lying. Anyone with expertise or time to do basic googling is welcome to contribute.

I've put in rough answers where I felt confident about my sources. The ones I haven't tried to answer are mainly non-arguments or deal with things I'm not familiar with, for example, I've never read Angel at the Fence or The Painted Bird. Please correct mistakes or offer better answers if you see any. Sources welcome.

Arguing with neo-Nazis is kind of a lost cause on /his/. The mental gymnastics they will go through to stick to their message are just unreal. Try going into one of those "Nazi Germany could have won if only they did x" and explaining why that's wrong, it's like arguing with a brick wall.
>>
>>3098419
I know, but half the point is to provide factual answers for uninformed readers who might otherwise be swayed reading this shit in good faith. Once upon a time I was one of the people who honestly thought that gas chambers were a clear exaggeration, just because I hadn't seen anyone refute what were in hindsight obvious falsehoods.
