Their endgame was to win. And they did.

>Don't defend Poland at all
But they did. They beat Germany after 6 years. It's not England's fault that the USSR also went in to Poland.
>Don't defend France at all
Sure they did. WTF are you talking about? Many British died in the Battle of France
>All allies gone, hide on your Island waiting for America to save you
Not really. The UK defeated the German air force in the Battle of Britain without the help of US personnel, although with US logistical help, yes.

>>3091892
>Don't defend Poland at all
They literally did the best they could. Real life isn't some shitty game where you can just transport an army to Poland and fight there.
>Don't defend France at all
They actually tried their best, its not their fault that the defense was bad.
>All allies gone, hide on your Island waiting for America to save you
What the fuck else were they meant to do? They were at war with all of Europe pretty much and still managed to foil German plans for their island.
>What the fuck was their end game
save the world.

It's a cult because of the socially coercive practices that threaten to cut you off from your family if you do decide to leave.

>>3090501
>I mean we know it's not a cult because you can leave it freely.
and they'll pester you forever. there's an anon who claimed on /his/ awhile back that he had to get a restraining order because they came to his house and tried to convert his kids while he was at work after he left the church.

>>3090509
a practice that threatens people? go on

doesn't a cult avoid growing to much and too much media attention, unlike mormonism

we wuz victorious over Alexander and shiet

Imagine being from a country which has spent past several millennia getting invaded, raped and subjugated by anyone and everyone who came across it, like Poland but even shittier (a lot more shittier) but without that one period where it got super powerful and invaded its own invaders, and the last time it was anywhere close to powerful and influential was so far back it might as well be a fucking fairy tale.
That's India.

Makes sense. Still, why are they allowed to answer anyone on History topics when they're on par with the Turks in terms of denial of historical events?

Shouldn't these people be silenced because of their poisonous, incorrect views on History? We're not talking about debatable, free speech things, but of scientific, proven facts. Why the fuck are these shtiskins allowed a vote on the matter? Science is not a democracy.

The saddest part about byzzabooism is that them clinging to the roman continuity completely overshadows everything else about this pretty neat nation and its testament in history. Byzantium deserve better tha those EU4 babbies.

Except the Ebonoid galactic empire had dominated thousands of star systems in that time period until they reached Earth via a melanin powered stargate, spent thousands of years creating civilization and inventing technology until the white cave people used their tricknology to overthrow the prosperous empire.

Some extremely long time ago, presumably before we left Africa since there are no non-Modern humans anywhere.

Around 3000 bc

I've read 100,000 to 250,000 years ago.

Deliberate Fire + Cooking Inedible Foods + Deliberate & Preventative Medicine + Abstract Language + Surviving to become Grandparents seem to have happened at round the same time, and those are the five things that truly separate us from the other animals.

Behaviorally modern humans can live for tens of thousands of years without inventing things like writing or wheels. (both invented only twice ever, ever, ever)

Sometimes someone puts shit in the wrong place and have to find out the hard way they fucked up.
Eventually the state fucks it up.

Capitalism has tons of flaws but it gives you the most freedom so it's worth it. Fascism is actually the best government for results but nobody wants to live like a cog their whole life.

>>3096130
Neglecting culture and aesthetics in favor of profit.
Obsession with practicality, uniformity and reductionism.
Decadence.

Very specific gripe you've got there.

It was beneficial in the long run.

Because for every one right-wing degenerated inventing poison gas weapons or a more efficient human-incinerator, there's an entire university of academics who would go out of their way to protect a colleague of the wrong "race" and are often at the forefront of advocacy for the responsible applications of science.

Fascism + Eternal Anglo

The world could not handle that level of "eternity".

>>3095490
Can I get a quick rundown?

Because unlike other countries that achieved their political freedoms through force, the parlamentarism in Britain is almost a traditional system drawing its roots from Middle Ages. It has whitstood test of time and saw Britain turn into a world superpower. What's the point in trading it away for some 20th century invention of some former italian socialist? There were literally no groups in society that were wronged by it, except a bunch of autistic LARPers like pic related.

Also, another point. Fascism/right-wing authoritarianism emerged out of fear from communist takeover. No such thing was ever going to happen in Britain which has successfuly solved its labor question as early as in 19th century, since it was the first to industrialize. Neither the British elites, nor the British working class had anything to gain from Mosley's autistic experiment. It was an amusing attempt.

Two of my relatives where killed during it.

Cousin of my grandmother and his uncle were active in a forbidden Catholic organisation "Jugendbund Neudeutschland" and rejected Nazism a little too openly, it seems.
My mother is works in an archive and did research on it, apparently the uncle was genuinely insane (was in a mental hospital before 1933 already), but it isn't clear what was up with the cousin. The cousin behaved so "conspicuous" in church that he was arrested (he once tried to seek refuge in a monastery but was denied) in 1935 and sent to various "mental facilities" were he was abused and beaten. He was sent to Grafeneck on december 5th 1940 together with 21 other "patients", only one of them was ever heard of again. The uncle was sent to Grafeneck on june 3rd 1940 and officially died of a stroke on june 12th, a (((natural cause))), just like 10.654 others.

Pic related is the cousin after he was first sent to a "hospital".

Uh his regime killed one million people...

>Best dictator ever

>>3095302
Every dictator, every regime kills. You'd be lying to yourself if you think that the current regime of your country, if you're not living at some unimportant nation, didn't kill to achieve your current standard of living or their goal.
>>3095310
Second on my list, simply because I don't know much about the man. I was pleasantly surprised when I first read that he raised a monument in 1973, to the victims on the republican side, acknowledging that war, even if it was necessary for his raise to power, kills on both sides and that soldiers of his enemy, even if they died in vain, died for something they firmly believed in, which should be somewhat rewarded on its own.
