What was the island like precolonial era? Who were the biggest players on the island and what did they look like/wear?

>>2811454
The first big players were the Sakalava which were a conglomerate of sort. There is evidence that the people of Great Zimbabwe landed there and took over this the reason Tromba and other practices took root on the west coast.

Eventually with guns reaching the hands of Merina and other Highlanders they took power.

Malagasy is believed to have coalesced as a language before settlement, thus a mixed Austronesian/Swahili people were the main people that took over. All groups however accept a dwarf dark skin people were there first. I'm of the opinion these aboriginal people -Vazimba- were of Asian Negrito descent who were swamped out so to speak.

The men were all killed and the women assimilated which is why the Polynesian Malagasy motif is found only in maternal lines.

The civilian leadership didn't trust the military, and the military was caught up in the culture wars of the Third Republic.

Throw in revolving door governments, "fighting the last war" syndrome and Daladiers unwillingness to commit troops to battle, and you have a giant paper tiger.

The Muslim world was pretty united even before the Crusades, disregarding the occasional civil war. Saladin took over when the Fatamids collapsed.

Because the history of the Medieval Middle East is too hard for plebs to understand in meme countries. There was no "iraq, jordan, saudi arabia" or whatever at the time.

For starters, nominally all of Islam is supposed to be unified under the Abbasid Caliphate: the big Muslim empire that stretched from Iran to North Africa. However by the 800s and 900s, that Empire declined and the various Sultans (which is an Arab word for "Governor" not king), Emirs, City States, and Tribes became virtually independent.

The first real "Break" from Abbasid rule came with the Samanids of Iran, who broke away and created a Persianate State with them as Shahs. Then came the Fatimid Revolution in Egypt. Basically a bunch of Shias revolted and created a empire in Egypt and North Africa, with Syria, the Levant and the 2 holy cities of Islam, being bones of contention between the Abbasids and the Fatimids passed back and forth between them in wars.

In addition, the Samanids, Abbasids and Fatimids had a habit of buying shitloads of military slaves amongst the Turkics and other Central Asians. These Mamluks as they were called eventually became powerful enough that they carved their own princedoms within the territories held by either Abbasid or Fatimid employers.

Compounding to all this was the great Seljuk Invasion of 1030s. Basically a Muslim Turkic confederacy allied to the Samanids basically thought: "hey, we can rule all of the middle east," and subsequently invaded the whole fucking place and kicking the Byzantines in the nuts at Manzikert to boot. The Seljuk Empire was short lived and the Abbasid and Fatimid Caliphate survived the whole damn thing, but now Seljuk Turkic-descended emirs and sultans carved Sultanates all over the carcass of the Abbasid Caliphate, most prominent being the Seljuk Sultanates of Iraq and Rum in Anatolia.

That was the mess that Crusaders encountered, and what Plebs couldn't understand.

You already know the answer is yes. Stop asking dumb questions.

"Just call them niggers!"

Then why do people insist on using it? Is it passive aggression?

Governor of Louisiana during the Depression. Started as a new dealer, split with FDR because he thought he was too cozy with bankers. Also worked with Father Charles Coughlin, but split with him when he became more anti sematic. Got assassinated before he could run for president.

He's sometimes painted as a fascist, but he's more like Bernie Sanders if Sanders weren't a gigantic pussy

>>2810184
Why is he painted as a fascist?

>>2810219
Literally a smear campaign

No, just look at 4chan, race discussions were not commonplace here, now it's being forced in just about every board.

I dunno. Racial tensions are kind of a meme and aren't as bad as the BLM and /pol/ crowds will have you believe. Everyone keeps each other at arms length individually but overall group relations seem manageable. I can see it all going to shit eventually though.

Yes. Tribalism is an innate part of Human existence. People need to stop suppressing their innate instincts with ideology - which leftyredditors have tried since the 1800s, and neo-liberals with all their state apparatus are desperately attempting to enforce.

one group liked riding around on horses in Persia, the other liked farming in India

This is a pretty good book on the subject

http://www.ahandfulofleaves.org/documents/The%20Origin%20of%20the%20Indo-Iranians_Kuz%E2%80%99mina.pdf

Just read the last chapter, conclusion if you want a tl;dr

The correct term would be "The Iranian and Indian split"

But they were more hygenic actually, numerous accounts of the time say this.

>>2805710

I sure hope so.

I hear Peru and other parts around there are mostly indigenous, so if its possible anywhere, its there. Mayans have a shot too. Say a group of south Americans who already speak an indigenous language just went and founded a town, they can have an Inca and Terrence farming and everything.

they're just the oldest surviving civilization. others predate them, but got so fucked in the time between then and now that they're unrecognizable from their origins with regard to ethnicity/culture. not entirely so with China, despite it having been through a lot of internal conflict and restructuring

"Chinese Civilization" as we know it, emerged during the founding of the Empire. So that's 200s BC.

However Ancient "China" did lay much of the foundation for that civilization to not warrant being discounted (i.e. Writing. Philosophies, the very notion of "Zhongguo" to begin with.)

>It is in my nature to put other's needs before my own and I wish to change this.
Why?

It's okay to care about yourself first but you don't have to become an edgy asshole either. Find a balance between helping yourself and others.

What's your endgoal?

If apathy: stoicism; epicurism
If egoism: stirner, objectivism
If amoralism: De Sade

The thing is I'd be recognized as an ousider anywhere in the world. They'd treat me badly but if it's about curiosity and if I could come back I'd like to see the pre-history humans.
