How far would the Europeans have gone with their civilizing mission/genocide/resource extraction? Would we have seen more situations like the Germans massacring the Herero in Namibia? Would there be actual white African countries with 130+ years of uninterrupted colonialism? Or would the continent just be a bunch of Rhodesias and South Africas, with a minority white ruling class and large black underclass?
And in your opinion, would Africa as a whole be better off today?

The World Wars were going to happen one way or another because of colonialism. For WWI not to happen there must first be no colonialism.
Was National Socialist Germany really a capitalist country? I keep hearing this but dont know if it's true or not
>>3098294
Depends on how you're defining things. At least when the Nazis first took power, most definitely, but they increasingly used simple coercion to keep the economy together, especially as the war dragged on, in a way that's more akin to stereotypes of Pharonic Egypt than a modern economy. You still had a money system and theoretical concepts of free enterprise, but you had rationing for everything that was the real scarcity mechanism, you had enormous amounts of slave labor in the economy, you generally weren't free to quit your job, etc. I'm honestly not sure what I'd call it.
>>3098294
capitalism is free market.
imagine if today, all the biggest companies got together with the government and made laws banning all their competitors and now they are the only suppliers. Thats what fascist economy is. Its not capitalistic at all
>>3098294
Not exactly. Like with most countries, there was a mix of private and public ownership. I think in the early days you could argue it was a capitalist mixed economy but by the late 30s the economy was more and more directed by the state for the benefit of the military.
If Nazi Germany had been faster in installing V-3 cannons aimed at London they would've won the Western front in a matter of days. This is a fact. Would've pretty much made everything in SE England uninhabitable and indefensible, making an invasion rather effortless.
This is just one of many little known events that could've dramatically changed the outcome of WW2.
Overall the Nazis had so many bizarre and untimely mishaps it makes me suspect that they won in an unaltered timeline.

Nigga what is this even supposed to be?

Doesn't matter how many epin autistic superweapons you have, you still need more than fucking river barges to transport your men, their horses, and the supplies they needed across the channel.
What do we even need political philosophers for?
He's clearly right
>>3098250
>all policy should be based on the weight of evidence
Surely he understands that the first two acts of such an act would be to heavily tax the obese and dramatically increase police discrimination against black men.
>>3098472
*first two acts under such a Constitution
Actually there can be no policy under a purely rational constitution, because rationality can only explain cause and effect, it cannot determine if a given consequence is good or bad.
I'm curious as to what /his/ thinks of Lee Kuan Yew and his legacy. Figured more would be said than on /pol/, if there are any Singaporeans around that could weigh in it would be appreciated.
A friend of mine are contemplating starting a political group at university, and he did some school in Singapore and has been informing me of the greatness of Yew and the Singaporean system compared to our native Canada, and thinks the PAP model fits our ideas. He does seem pretty based the more I hear, but I haven't read his books or been to Singapore, so I just want to hear some thoughts
Literally turned a swampy island full of exiled Chinese into an offshore financial capital of all SEAsia. Pretty fucking based desu
My impression is the general outline of his governance, it seemed to have benefited that nation in the past as it struggled with the effects of the war and post colonialism, he seemed to dominate the country, and his family are involved in its affairs much like a royal line it would seem. The state he created has many inflexible laws that I would not wish to live under.
>>3098217
>if there are any Singaporeans around that could weigh in it would be appreciated
Some people like him, some don't. Those that don't give reasons like "he is a power hungry maniac that jails his opponents" or "he is corrupt" and the more popular "nepotism". These same people can't speak English so it really activates your noggin.
I think he was based and his policies were amazing. He was our best and only choice for a leader in times of autism
>Hey guys let's sail all the way to this strategically insignificant island while Sparta is undefeated just 100 miles from us.

WERE THE SYRACUSIANS SPARTANS?
DID THEY PRACTICE EUGENETICS TOO?
DID THEY KILL HELIOTS TOO?
I NEED TO KNOW
Well considering Sicily at this time was an island known for it's rich soil, powerful cities, and great location for trade, you can't really blame them.
>>3101228
Yeah but why didn't they do that later? Why did they just throw away their chance at winning against Sparta?

Almost every alt history where the Nazis won the war show massive American resistance forces often times 5-10 years after the fall of the American government. Even the French ran a successful resistance when backed up by the allies.
Why was there little/no German resistance after their capitulation? What did the allies do in Germany that the Germans didn't do in France?
Would the Americans or British fight a resistance after the war if the Nazis won?
>>3098029
1. French Resistance was a meme
2. Germans were tired of the Nazis shit.
Hitler literally tried to destroy Germany. Dindu Speer didn't carry out the orders though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Decree
>>3098029
Germany never had any serious plans to invade the US so there wouldn't have been any U.S. resistance at all. You can't resist if you aren't occupied in the first place. As far as Britain goes, I don't think Hitler would have invaded Britain until after the Soviets were completely destroyed and by then Britain would probably have nukes to deter any further invasion plans.
Any scenario where the Germans conquer Britain or America is just alt history wanking material.
dumping /his/ charts that have been made so far. taking requests, though i can't guarantee i can make it right away.
the subjects requested and most in demand, it seems, are:
>french revolution
>holy roman empire/medieval germany
>american civil war
>minoan/mycenaean greece
>venice, florence and renaissance italy
>japan
>early islamic history
>british empire
>vietnam war/ cold war
>huns/ mongols/ steppe peoples and empires
feel free to request subjects that need to be covered urgently or that you'd want to see
China, all 5000 years
>>3098013
>>3098018
yes chinese charts are a must. but since thats a huge task we should focus on the periods that most interest people first like, say, the qin dynasty or the ming or song or tang ones.
also, the more specific the topic requested the easier and quicker it is for me to make the chart. a chart on the taiping rebelling, for example, would be quick for me to make because there are only so many english scholars who have dedicated time to it.
>>3098033
Why was this hitler worshipping german allowed to become Pope?
As someone who was born "jewish"
I have zero respect for him.
I am sure as a kid he admired hitler and supported his actions against us the so called "jews".
And I am sure as hell he still admires him.
1)He wasn't a nazi. He was forcibly pressed into the hitler youth to serve in an AA battery. Conscription isn't supporting, anon
2)He fucking deserted, so no, he wasn't a nazi
3)He's not even Pope any more

Why on earth was this degenerate german nazi autist allowed to have the most important position in Christianity?
Why does this autism persists to this day?
Just why?
They should do like the Vietnamese did.

They can all read it even though Chinese languages aren't mutually intelligible
>>3097937
I've always asked myself the same thing, I think it's to increase their IQ so they keep it until genetic engineering becomes popular.
>>3097942
this actually slows their IQ development as they start serious reading later in their life
Why did the Romans disappear?.
Why don't we have a United States of Rome today?
>>3097863
They really didn't. Rome is still a very powerful city.
>>3097863
They cucked themselves with Christianity. The closest thing to Rome today is the Vatican, that's pretty much what it looked like before it fell.
The states decided to call the region "Italy" after the fall. So that's what it's called. It's the same type of name change that Iran underwent from being Persia.
>>3097863
Western rome fell apart because of the dissolution of a purely Roman Military and instead a military filled with German Barbarians and merchants. This came at a time with the Huns made their way through Europe, completely ravaging the festering corpse of the In-Name-Only Roman Empire.
The Eastern Roman Empire fell because of all the resources and money they spent finally defeating the Persians left them wide open for the Arab invasions. After the Arab conquests, The Eastern Roman Empire ceased to be Roman and instead became thoroughly Byzantine aka: Greeks LARPing as Romans.

Hi, I'm Maltese. I thought it would be fun to make a thread about the history of my little island nation.
Malta has a very interesting history, like you wouldn't believe. But I cannot just write a manuscript in the OP.
Just ask me questions and I'll do my best to answer.
>>3097667
Can Maltese people understand Arabic?
>>3097679
No.
It's like a Dutch person trying to understand Swedish. You can sort of understand some words due to similarities but you cannot comprehend a conversation.
And Arabic is a actually not one language. Moroccans speak something very different from Egyptians.
Our language was derived from a dialect of Arabic that is now dead but it was probably closer to Tunisian/Libyan Arabic.
What can we understand? Very old words. Example: numbers, and nouns for very mundane things like a door or a house or a daughter or a father...etc
