What is the FUNDAMENTAL difference between the left and the right wingers? Why is someone left and someone else right? if we really dig for it, really try to get to the bottom of it. The bottom of where the preferences comes from.
>>2742646
There are two types of people in the world. The people of the left want to control people and enrich themselves in the process.
The people of the right want to be left the fuck alone.
Which is why the left is so much better at controlling people and stealing from them; they've had thousands of years of practice.
And why the right has so few champions for people leaving us the fuck alone. They're leftists who saw the void and called themselves people of the right.
All totalitarian, dictatorship, fascist, etc. forms of government are of the left. All of them. Communism, Nazism, Fascism, all of them. they are brought about by useless people who cannot survive unless they prey on useful people who want to be left the fuck alone.
Metaphysically/metapolitically speaking this chart is handy.

I really want to have a genuine discussion about Baltic history without biased Slavs stating that we are Slavic. The question I have is Latvia do you agree with Tālava theory about ethnogenesis or you have different theory about this.
I want to hear your opinions.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Monk Martin Luther the Reformer? I thought not. It’s not a story the Catholics would tell you. It’s a Protestant legend. Luther was a faithful monk of the Christian faith, so wise and so faithful he could use the faith to influence the people to create Reformation… He had such a knowledge of the bible that he could even keep the ones he cared about from buying indulgences. The reformed side of the Faith is a pathway to many bonds with Jesus some consider to be heterodox. He became so influential… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his influence, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his followers everything he knew, then his followers betrayed him and formed different denominations. Ironic. He could save others from betraying themselves, but not betraying him.

>They almost look indistinguishable from SouthEast Asians.
The really don't.
Hmmmm it's almost as if their ancestors crossed a strait that leads to Asia.
Really makes you stink.
>>2741762
They're very watered down now due to admixture with Europeans. But they're from similar backgrounds to the North East Asians.
Nobody ever asks this question, but why was there a Civil War?

This thread is for the discussion of the roots of western civilization and will include the following topics of discussion:
1: Mesopotamia (Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria)
2: Egypt
3: Phoenicia
5: Greece
These cultures laid the foundations for our way of life and are sadly overlooked and forgotten.
Here's a great lecture that intertwines all these cultures and their contributions into a cohesive understanding of the evolution of the West:

We begin with Sumer and the Sumerians.
The Sumerians were the most extraordinary people who ever lived on the face of the earth. They seemed to come from out of nowhere, and they single-handedly invented civilization when most of the rest of the world was still living in the Stone Age. What’s more, they did it thousands of years before anyone else. In regard to the Sumerians, you will need to revise your concept of ancient in comparison to the "ancient" Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. The Sumerian civilization was already ancient when it ended in 2004 B.C., twenty centuries before Julius Caesar, sixteen centuries before Socrates, and seven centuries before Tutankhamen

Unfortunately for Sumer, the eternal Semites smelled the wealth that such a highly organized and productive civilization had created, and naturally invaded and assimilated into Sumer, giving us Assyria and Babylonia.
The Akkadian Empire was the first ancient Semitic-speaking empire of Mesopotamia, centered in the city of Akkad and its surrounding region, also called Akkad in ancient Mesopotamia and Accad in the Bible (Genesis 10:10). The empire united all the Akkadian and Sumerian speakers under one rule. The Akkadian Empire controlled Mesopotamia, the Levant, and eastern and southern parts of Anatolia and Iran, sending military expeditions as far south as Dilmun and Magan (modern Bahrain and Oman) in the Arabian Peninsula.
During the 3rd millennium BC, there developed a very intimate cultural symbiosis between the Sumerians and the Akkadians, which included widespread bilingualism. Akkadian gradually replaced Sumerian as a spoken language somewhere between the 3rd and the 2nd millennia BC.
The Akkadian Empire reached its political peak between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC, following the conquests by its founder Sargon of Akkad (2334–2279 BC). Under Sargon and his successors, the Akkadian language was briefly imposed on neighboring conquered states such as Elam and Gutium. Akkad is sometimes regarded as the first empire in history, though there are earlier Sumerian claimants.
After the fall of the Akkadian Empire, the people of Mesopotamia eventually coalesced into two major Akkadian-speaking nations: Assyria in the north, and, a few centuries later, Babylonia in the south.

Anyone else feel kinda sorry for the natives?
Those fuckers never stood a chance. It was either the spaniards that got them, or some kind of a disease.
>>2740756
>Anyone else feel kinda sorry for the natives?
Nope. If you'd posted the Incas, then I would be pissed.
>>2740756
>Anyone else feel kinda sorry for the natives?
Which ones? The Aztecs? Fuck no, they waged many wars against muh ancestors and completely got what was coming to then. So did the Comanche, and Siux.
But many natives didn't deserve what happened to them. The Nez Perce really didn't deserve the shit they got from the government.
>>2741639
>But many natives didn't deserve what happened to them.
Europeans didn't deserve to have 2/3rds of their population wiped out by the Black Death either yet I don't see the constant weeping.
Why can people accept that having large populations wiped out by disease isn't a unique evenr in history and will probably happen again?
Central powers win WW1. Good or bad?
