Where the events of 1066 BCE the best outcome for England? Did the conquering by Norman help tie England more closely to the rest of Western Europe?

I'd never thought of it like that. Yes, I suppose they did. Without the interaction with Europe that resulted from the invasion, its likely that England would never have fought in the hundred years war, and without that conflict to define a national identity, it likely would never have emerged to be a great power. The Anglo-Saxon monarchy of England was hardly disconnected from Europe, the Norman monarchy was intrinsically linked with the continent in a way that brought innovation and progress to (most of) England.

Is 4chan a Sisyphean metaphor for human life? We labor and write posts tirelessly knowing they will vanish in a couple of hours.

Even more telling is that their nature means most people don't put any effort into their posts. Is shitposting 4chan's version of nihilistic angst?

When I make a shitpost I see it as me throwing something to the wind effortlessly and seeing where it goes
Can somebody explain this to me? I thought the official story of the Holocaust was that pesticides were used to poison Jews? Is pesticides with legit civilian use, really chemical weapons?
>>2974227
Pesticides have nothing to do with Hitler or Syria, you absolute buffoon
Just fuck off, you retard.
>>2974227
yes zyklon B was a pesticide, though early on they also used gas vans using the carbon monoxide from the van. this news story is pretty retarded because he was obviously refering to Hitler's refusal to use Sarin gas

That doctor was their family doctor since hitler was little. He was a decent person from all accounts

You're not automatically a bad person by failing an advanced medical procedure. I was just speculating for the cause of Hitlers autism

Where would the Mayan people be now if not for European intervention? What about native Americans?

Probably constant warfare, sacrifices still going on, the Central American Maya were particularly savage

WE WOULD BE BUILDING STARGATES AND SHIET
Let's say under the best possible scenarios for Axis powers, how would they invade America? Were there any plans/ideas?
Check out this article where Life magazine made 6 possible scenarios on how Germany and Japan would invade the US:
http://bigthink.com/strange-maps/497-nazis-up-the-mississippi-and-other-axis-invasion-scenarios
How feasible were they?
Impossible. Germany's navy was very weak and would never have even made it too land. America's industrial capabilities also far surpassed Germany's. Also, Germany would be struggling for manpower while the U.S. still had millions. There's also the American resistance that would have formed behind enemy lines. They would have put Soviet partisans to shame.
>invading America after the civil war
Not even riechaboos could believe this shit
>>2973995
I only skimmed over the plans, but they all look ridiculously unfeasible. Each and every one overlooks that the U.S. had roughly 4 times the economy of Germany, and quite handidly outproduced the entire Axis alliance by a lot. They focus a lot on obtaining naval superiority, but don't seem to grasp that even if this is attained, you need supremacy or near it to try to invade a hostile shore, and even doing so means you need fucktons of supply ships, landing craft, transports, etc. It was hard enough for the U.S. and UK to pull off the Normandy landings, and that was with
>Total control of the Sea
>Total control of the Skies
>Having spent the last few months bombing the crap out of the French railway system to make it difficult to rush reinforcements in
>With a war economy that vastly outproduced the enemy
>Having spent literally years developing specialized machinery just for this kind of warfare; tanks that can roll off of the landing craft, mulberry harbors, the landing craft themselves.
None of those would apply to a hypothetical 1942 invasion of the U.S. And the longer you wait to build up, the more time the U.S. has to do the same, and with a massive economy, they'll build up far faster than the Axis.
So how do you think the world will handle the inevitable oil crash?
>>2973914
By drilling for more oil. By the time we run out I'd imagine we would have come up with an alternative or be capable of artificially creating it ourselves.
>>2973926
>capable of artificially creating it ourselves
We already are. However the amount of oil needed as a resource is irrelevant compared to amount of oil used as fuel.
What, exactly, makes you think there's going to be an "oil crash", whatever that means?
How do religions start?
If religion X is the one true faith, how come it took so long for it to develop?

When the Roman Empire fell their capital relocated from Rome to Constantinople in Turkey.
Does this mean that when the United States of America eventually falls once the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts, the new capital of America will be Saudi Arabia judging by how much funding and weapons they send over there?
if saudi arabia were an actual usa colony populated by americans who maintained their american identity, then sure. but it isnt.
>>2973752
Now, they will move it to México City, and it will be know as Estados Unidos.

Almost every word in this sentence is wrong or at least inaccurate.
Why did rent suddenly start outstripping wage growth from the 1980s?

Overall was the sexual revolution better of worse for society?
Jury's still out. Give it a century or two and we might have some idea. Still in the reactionary phase.
>>2973366
I grew up in a country where sexual revolution didn't happen and now live in a country where it did, I can say it was a disaster.
>>2973366
it is good. what they create is an institutionalized nature:the more women are in control of their pussy, the more they are demanding and the more men are back to being puppies trying to please, which is the natural situaiton in the first place
As we all know the greatest Byzantine ruler was undeniably Basil II "the Bulgar-Slayer". This is established historical fact and therefore inarguable. A distant second might be Alexios I Komnenos.
Who else deserves a mention?
>>2973342
Justinian, maybe.
100% Justinian. Poor sod came so close to reuniting Rome.
how would a taciturn autistic beta male that is afraid to look people in the eye such as myself fare in the brutal environment of ancient Rome or Athens? how quickly would I end up as a slave in the rock quarries?

You wouldve likely been one of those "odd shopkeeper" types. Either that or a bizarre emperor that abused his power for very eccentric forms of entertainment.
You'd have probably learnt a trade and occupied yourself with that
If you were rich you'd probably just spend your days doing nothing and overseeing a farm
