Why did he hate banks and indians so much?

>>2721410
because banks are evil and usury is a sin. you have to kill the bank to keep it from gaining control over your country and enslaving your fellow man.

the settlers were going to start their own war to remove the indians. so Jackson moved them to prevent hostilities.

William Howard Taft was also a progressive

>>2721328

Taft was Roosevelt's VP. Then Roosevelt went of to Africa to shoot lions for a few years. When Ted returned to the US, he was horrified to see that Taft had discontinued many of the progressive policies that he had supported. Roosevelt then through a massive fit, and ran as a third party candidate, splitting the Republican vote. The Democrats won the 1912 election and put Woodrow Wilson in office.

The genocide of Greeks by the Ottoman Empire is usually overlooked in history books.

That being said the extent of said "genocide" was probably exaggerated following the formation of the Balkan League and the fall of the Ottoman Empire in Europe.

How the fuck were they built? What the fuck was their real purpose? Did they use a ramp? A crane? Did slaves really build the pyramids, or were they paid? How did they move the big ass blocks? Is it just a coincidence that the Giza pyamids satisfy the Golden Ratio?

This is literally the oldest historical mystery ever, how the fuck have we not figured out the pyramids? Trying to construct it today is near impossible, how the fuck could we have done it before?

Why did greeks depict themselves as nordics when todays greeks look like swarthy arabs?

>>2719982
Greeks today looked no different than the ancient Greeks. They were never Nordics, they were always tanned mediterraneans.
>inb4 ottomans
I'm really loving this meme of how a small population of people could easily the displace the genotypes and phenotypes of the much larger native population just because they managed to conquer them. There really wasn't much racemixing during the ottoman rule. Also people of Greece have mixing with the people of Anatolia since ancient times, so your notion that there used to be "pure" Nordic Greeks is false. Also Greeks are in the same genetic cluster as the rest of Europe while turkey is far from it

I think it's more likely than not that he existed, but it's hardly certain either way.

As for links, I've got a good one (PDF of a uni textbook on biblical history) on my main computer, but I'm not there right now. If the thread's still up in a couple of hours I can link you to it.

Why did Christianity demonise snakes?
Was it because the Babylonians venerated snakes and the Christians were trying to troll them?

And unrelated: what's the earliest serpentine ancestor of humans? Some type of amphibian eel?

>Why did Christianity demonise snakes?

Christians worship a dark power under the guise of benevolence.

The snake and the dragon have always been representative of the sacred.

Not so for christians, whom oppose all that is sacred.

When you are baptized, under the guise of false smiles you are being initiated into demon worship and put into the hands of a demon lord. It puts you into the hands of darkness and demon posession is a very serious possiblity right at baptism.

To put it right into perspective, imagine for a second that the christian worldview were correct, well, baptism would be like initiating your child in a black mass, with a black baptism in the name of all demons and offering up his life to darkness, desecrating him to darkness.

Was the German Kriegsmarine in ww2 ever a powerful naval force capable of challenging or rivalling the Royal Navy the same way the Kaiserlichemarine in ww1 was?
114 posts and 10 images submitted.
>>
no it wasnt
moreover it was never meant to challange to royal navy

it was meant to outrun and royal navy and disrupt transporting to the UK, cutting it off from their colonies

the idea was to operate in small task forces with 1 2 3 major ships and patrol merchant lines, sink one, escape, wait till the hornets nest calms down, strike again

the royal navy was huge but it couldnt cover every part of the ocean,

however germans forgot that by warning the enemy shit, waiting the crew to escape it gives enough time for them to signal their position at which point the closest RN base is warned and ships start pouring into the area

also underestimating the value of naval airforces or air recon
