Did the Arab league ever have any chance of forming any unified states?
What would the world look like if most of the original 1945 members had joined?
>>3011392
not possible because of the nature of how Arab dictators refuse to share power and the tribal mentality of Arabs. It would fall apart pretty quickly. Not to mention (((they))) would never allow a unified arab state
>>3011661
This. Although the /pol/ maymay was unnecessary, America, Europe and further down the timeline, indeed Israel wouldn't want a united Arab state.
You have may have a state similar in nature to the UAE or Qatar
I remember reading about one badass guy from varangian guard who saved byzantine emperor from some assassin and his reward would be fucking emperors greek wife, was this common practice in Byzantine empire monarchy?
Also /varangian guard/ thread i guess. Were they the only reason why byzantines lasted so long? Since we all know that greeks are small and bad at warfare.
>>3011109
And some people say that ancient Greeks weren't Nordic
>>3011189
yeah
>>3011189
indeed
All relationships are agenda driven and about dominance over the other.
They are a way to exchange information on what you have imagined is important to you and to enforce those beliefs. Be that life, sex, politics, art, health, science, etc. Such people will always try to control those who fall into their company and if you deviate from their thinking, they will try to fit you into some category still related to their small understanding so they can keep convicining you and themselves that they have a real opinion.
You like to be alone? You must be asocial or introverted and that makes me extroverted (when both come from the same thinking).
You dont bother with women? You must be asexual, gay or some other gender.
You dont believe in God? You must be an antheist.
You dont approve of working for your life? You must be spoiled or just plain blind to how the real world works.
You dont exercise? You must want to die young.
You think science is actually subjective and a lie born out of thinking (what we want to see, instead of what is actually there)? A futile attempt like a fish trying to live on land? You must be an idiot.
A true relationship is where both sides know nothing and can give each other nothing.
>but science made life easier
True but what it has accomplished will also lead to destruction not only of man but of every lifeform on this and the next planet
Can't we all just get along? Does everything in life have to be such a power vacuum? The world can't possibly be so small that spoiled brats think theres only enough for them and them alone.

Everything is category and common culture is our operation system. So what? Doesn't mean you have to go full poststructuralist. What you're doing is observing symptoms of human nature and mislabeling them as causes of human nature.
Is money a religion?
>>3010533
No.

Business is the religion and money is its god.

What does /his/ think of the Esperanto movement?
English is actually a pretty good world language desu
>no set, prescribed pronunciations, making it easy to add in loanwords
>phonetic alphabet >>>>>> all
>no tonality
>is easy to understand even with none of the grammar eg "you buy soda now"
>>3016135
I tried learning some a few years ago (it was featured in Saga) but other than that I don't know of anyone who uses it, so I see it as kind of pointless. English seems to be becoming more universal.
>>3016135
Esperanto estas la plej malbona lingvo iam faris, ne estas punkto en lerni ĝin escepte sentante malvarmeta pri havi alian lingvon en via laboro vivresumo.
Why did the Ottoman Empire suddenly started to lose so much power and land ?
Not enough turkposters to shit up enemy communications.
We put balkan rapebabies in charge of our armies. And you know, balkanrapebabies are not a smart folk hence they fucked up things.

Suddenly? Didn't they progressively get weaker and weaker over hundreds of years?

Going so far as to demand his scientist genetically engineer a dog sized cow to go in everyone's home, build a massive ice cream shop in the middle of Cuba, get in a heated argument with a French ambassador when he wouldn't admit Cuba has better cheese, and attempting to crossbreed Holsteins and Zebu's to create a "supercow".

Yes

As a counter to this, no.
In which language, dialect, country, social grouping, and geographical area did they do this?
I had a dream last night in which a female muslim character called out Christianity as an usury religion, telling how much Islam is against usury and promotes sharing and thrift.
Point is, I am an educated Deus Vult sympathizer.

Christian anon here. For what I know maybe the girl could be the representation of the great Harlot. It's know that the main reason why Christianity and Islam will never get along is because who is Christ to them. Christians see the Islam prophet and the Antichrist. Thats why maybe your dream was like a strange prophecy of the second coming. The Harlot preaching about the Antichrist
>>3015387
I was going to say that it was Khidr, he's not a prophet nor a regular mortal. See him as a sort of right hand of Allah on earth. He's in human form, and could appear in dreams. However, he would not take the form of a woman, making it impossible to be him.
Dreams are of essence in Islam as well. They mostly carry a meaning and have a purpose. They could foreshadow or warn you about something.

Are effeminate men a sign of history in decline? We see them from time to time when great cultures were heading towards their own respective destruction.
No.
>>3015151
>Are effeminate men a sign of history in decline?
Are there people who unironically believe in this?
>>3015202
Well, it's a sign of complacency, or jadedness. Men didn't have to work anymore because the slaves did all the work, so they got dull and eventually replaced by more able folks.
So, the Soviet Union was preparing an invasion of Nazi Germany, prior to Operation Barbarossa. I think it's justified for Hitler to strike preemptively. It actually makes sense because the Soviet already developed their Deep Operation doctrine.
pre emptively trying to kill the habitants of an area is not pre emptively striking, go back to pol, bye bye

Likely, though you probably know nothing about Brazilian politics due to the fact that leftist politics are already huge there. So you should kys for the bait
