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.
>>2721410
He was a poorfag
>>2721422
what's wrong with usury? don't like the terms, don't take out the loan. simple.

Wasn't that Roosevelt.
>>2721328
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.
Anglo-Saxon society seems like it was much better for ordinary people than after the Norman conquest, when the bastard William stole all the land.

They reconnected England back to the continent after centuries of living as one of the last places on earth where Ancient Germanic life was being practiced.

>Ancient Germanic life was being practiced
Anglo-Saxon England was a fascinating and enlightened society ruined by the filthy barbaric continentals.
What are some lesser-known atrocities that happened in the world? Everyone knows about Hitler and Stalin but what about the Mau Mau uprising or the 1804 Haitian massacre. Gimme the skinny on some of your most interesting, horrible, or politically complicated atrocities.

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.

OP, what is pic of?
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?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio#Egyptian_pyramids
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?
carefully
Friendly reminder that the pyramids were originally built for grain storage.

Herodotus on the egyptians:
>"...thirdly, the natives are black because of the hot climate." pp.103
>"As to the bird being black, they merely signify this by that the woman was an Egyptian." pp.119

English translations from greek, always super accurate and reliable in my experience ;^)
>this is your brain on protestantism
>>2720161
I'll never really understand why they apply a clause in Rev to the whole compiled Bible, or ignore the source texts in favor of a translation that benefits neither from modern discoveries or ancient input.
The KJB is a new revelation.

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
Nice try stormcuck

nice troll thread
expect 200 replies because this board is the personal dump of every shitposter from /pol/ and underage troll.
Does /his/ think he existed? I can't find any results that aren't "Christian Readers Daily" or "Lmao religion is for sheeple magazine" when trying to find some online sources or discussion on the matter.
>>2718686
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.
>>2718711
That'd be appreciated.
Why does OP think supposed "non-biased" sources exist?
What did he mean by this?
>>2718205
That for the most of the horse's existence as a tool for humanity, cavalry was impractical and dangerous.
>>2718205
The idea that some people would climb on a huge four-legged beast and then attempt to somehow kill other people is ridiculous.
>>2718205
Because war is silly and cavalry is merely an aspect of warfare
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?
>>2718133
>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.
>>2718152
So by being a Christian, I'm in cahoots with and under the care of demons (disguised as angels)?
Your ridiculous meme just makes Christianity sound cooler.
>>2718187
Not a meme, try doing a miracle like jesus promised you.
Yeah you can't and you think you're cool for being played.

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?
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

All this is correct
