What is the historical reason for G*rmanics appropriating the term of Aryan from Indo-Iranian peoples?
39 posts and 6 images submitted.
>>
Archaeologist found the Sanskrit word for people first and assumed Aryan was used for all Indo-Europeans.
>>

By doing this they implicitly acknowledged Persian superiority

1. "INDOIRANIAN" IS A LINGUONYM, NOT AN ETHNONYM, CULTURONYM, NOR RACIONYM; IT REFERS TO LANGUAGES BELONGING TO THE IRANIC SUBGROUP OF THE INDOEUROPEAN LANGUAGE GROUP, THUS, "INDOIRANIANS" ARE PEOPLES WHO SPEAK LANGUAGES BELONGING TO THAT LINGUISTIC SUBGROUP; THE TERM HAS NO RACIAL, NOR ETHNIC, CONNOTATIONS.

2. THE ABOVE APPLIES TO THE TERM "GERMANIC".

3. THE TERM "ARYAN" IS OF ARYAN ORIGIN; IT MEANS "NOBLE"; ARYANS WERE A RACE, AND INDIVIDUALS WITH ARYAN GENOTYPE ARE PRESENT IN MANY ETHNICITIES, WORLDWIDE.

Why didn't the soviets just zergrush Berlin and take over the whole city for East Germany? Also outside of the Berlin airlift how the hell did West Berlin even function? Who would stay living there when they could have just went to West Germany?

Supplies drove thru East Germany. It was possible to visit the East with a Western passport, just not possible the other way.
>>
>>2941950
Can't answer the first question since idk a lot about WW2. But I can sure pull things out of my ass:
I assume either Allied troops got to Berlin just fast enough to make that irrelevant, or the Allies told Staling to hand over half of Berlin and he did to avoid a war.


As for the second
Do you even understand how hard moving out of the city you've lived in your whole life is?

>>2941950
That's how it was divvied up according to the Yalta Conference. And lots of people did leave, that's why the USSR built a wall.

Is the popular story of evil Edison and good boy Tesla the truth?

No, Tesla was big into eugenics and his largest project was an unfinished machine that designed to cause earthquakes.

YES.

Edison was a massive asshole who was perfectly willing to fuck over anybody that got in his way, I'm not sure how that's arguable.

Would a more economically prosperous Africa be good for the current first world. Or is the current state of African affairs with weak corrupt and easily influenced nations more to their benefit. I am only asking about it from a strictly economic perspective.
29 posts and 2 images submitted.

>>2941595
That is a really good question with no easy answer. On the one hand keeping them desperate and poor means that they have to sell you their natural resources at rock-bottom prices. On the other hand nations that aren't corrupt third world hellholes cn actually afford to buy the products the first world is selling. America for instance has benefitted vastly more from Japan being a developed nation after WWII than is we had gone full punitive colonization on their asses, ditto for Germany. It may be however that there is a "breaking point" where only so many nations can be developed before there are no longer enough poor ones to supply them. I disagree with this as one can look at things like the oil market where the US can both be a major resource extractor but still be first world.
>>
>>2941803
It makes no sense to have them corrupt abd desperate. Nations with low corruption and high quality of living are more efficient at whatever it is they're doing, be it conflict mineral extraction or high finance.
>>
>>2941595
Of course, the whole world gains from economic prosperity.

Is it accurate to say that colonialism fell out of favor because the net profit of trading for resources was higher than the net profit of sending and maintaining an army to take them? For example:

>Profit = Resources - Cost to obtain them
>Resources = 10
>Cost Of Goods You Trade For Resources = 5
>Cost Of Long Term Occupation = 8

>10 - 5 = 5, 10 - 8 = 2, 5 > 2

Sort of. Short of it is that it was just too expensive to maintain.
>>
No it fell out of favour because the Americans wouldn't let European powers regain control of their former colonies after WW2

Politically impossible maybe, but that's temporary. Once the big refugee flows really start you'll see cruelty that would put the romans at their worst to shame.

Communism interests me, especially how it lead to such great horror in places like the Soviet Union.

I want to read up on it but I dont know where to start.
I'd like to know about how it developed and spread to become such a huge thing in eastern europe.
I'd like to know about communist methodology.

Anybody got some material like that to read/watch?
Help me out please.

>I'd like to know about how it developed and spread to become such a huge thing in eastern europe.
Besides the USSR, Yugoslavia, Albania and East Germany the communist movements weren't really organic.

After all, it arose in a civilization steeped in the Christianity of men like Thomas Aquinas. Not men like Richard Dawkins.

A Western Christian realizes the world he can see the world with rationality and discover it operates under laws independent of man. The Negro does not, nor doe ls the Chinese man.

Do Chr*stians remember to thank pagans for their religion?

After all, it arose in a civilization steeped in the following of gods like Jupiter. Not gods like Jehovah.

Because we see other people as property and get mad when they don't do things as expected.

But don't listen to me, i probably have schizophrenia or something and i have a deep resentment with society and every person who lives with happiness because the world doesn't work as i was told like in my christian household.

Pretty sure anyone with sufficient technology to develop a B-2 bomber would be lightyears ahead of virtually any other country in 525 BC.

Blacks already had the technology but were too noble to use it.
