Lets play a game where for once, sounding smarter than you actually are on this board is encouraged and competitive:
I'm your average joe who's honestly never bothered with history. Like, I took it in highschool, and have a vague idea of world history, but I'm no expert in anything. Just a regular normie. Your goal is to come up with the dumbest, most brain-dead retarded lie you can think of that would sound believable to someone like me that simply doesn't know better.

Nothing was wrong. It was based on a true story. At best you can claim that it was a bit overblown in importance but It's still an interesting fact to think about.
Real hidden figures: Nazi scientists (launched the first ever object into space: the V2 rocket), many of whom were hired by NASA post WW2.
Was it really practical for the Italian Arditi to attack with only pistols, knives, and explosives? Wouldn't it have been a better idea to at least arm supporting squads with carbines to provide suppressing fire during the starting offensive and help aid in holding the trenches from counter attacks? Your thoughts /his/?
>>2688062
>italian military tactics
>>2688062
Who gives a shit about tactical viability and success? The Arditi were fucking cool and like something out of 40k. The aesthetics justify the means.
>>2688062
Artillery fire was already doing the supressing, and I don't think all of them didn't have rifles.
How does tribalism work in humanity? I have German in me ((Pretty sure) but the first person to actually give me a chance at a career was someone who looked southern European.
What are the lines of tribalism drawn? Why don't germans care about each other?
maybe start by looking at it from an anthropological/evolutionary perspective, and then more specifically at the history of germany since the middle ages with all its different little 'tribal' states. you might also want to look at the teachings of jesus in terms of overcoming the tribalism at the time and whether it was successful or not, and for what reasons.
US is doomed demographically speaking and it will only get worse. It is too late for white nationalism to prevail, let alone tribalism.
>>2688010
If you want white nationalism why not go back to europe? Plenty of white people there and its going back to your heritage.
Pro-tip: you can't.

By exceptional general do you mean Washington?
As far as strategy he was middling, tactics mediocre which he himself admitted.
If the two world wars led the western world to becoming completely disillusioned with Christianity, will the instability in MENA for the past 15+ years lead the Mohammedans to become disillusioned with Islam?
>>2687903
False equivocacy
>>2687903
No, first because the world wars had nothing to do with the decline of Christianity which had been happening ever since the Enlightenment, and second because the wars in the middle east are a different dynamic than the world wars. The Mohammedans since the soviet afghan war have been discovering that true adherence to Islam and standing not as knock-off westerners but on their own two legs with their native Islamic culture has allowed them to survive against seemingly impossible odds.
The current in the middle east today is towards more Islam not less.
>>2687903
No. (Material) prosperity followed WW2, allowing luxurious cynicism and nihilism to take root. Muslims don't have this, they will only hold onto religion tighter. Religion is most attractive to the poor and suffering.
After researching out of pure curiousity for around a week now, I am deeply worried for the world in near future years. The problem; OVERPOPULATION.
How do we solve overpopulation? Is it even possible to solve overpopulation? Do we need another Bubonic Plague?
>>2687793
The edgy but true answer? Sterilization of massive parts of the world.
The moral but fairly unrealistic answer? Have every country put their full efforts into not only space travel, but efficient cars, planes, food, buildings, and production.
>>2687793
The world is if anything dramatically underpopulated.
But if you really thought it was a problem the solution is economic growth. There remains exactly one economically developed country with an above replacement fertility level.
Unironically feminism.
It worked in Europe, East Asia and the Americas. There is no reason why it wouldn't work in Africa and the Middle East.
Lets say, Portugal is able to keep Mozambique and Angola until at least 1980. How long does Rhodesia last in that timeline. A separate question would be; is their a timeline where Rhodesia could exist in 2017?
>>2687683
I would love for Rhodesia to still exist.
>>2687683
>A separate question would be; is their a timeline where Rhodesia could exist in 2017?
No. It's policies would eventually fuck itself in the ass as it faces the huge issue that the ONLY people who aren't unskilled labourers are the small white populace and inability to develop past the Latin America level (a pretty low bar) while retaining it's policies back then
>>2687683
Rhodesia was 8 percent white and 92 percent black. Those figures aren't exaggerated.
The whole thing was never going to work from the start. Even had they won independence the exact same political problems would've surfaced again and probably for the worse.
What's the point of changing something in a dead language that you don't understand?
(Sanskrit, Pali, Latin, etc)
I've experimented myself and I've realized that changing in your own language really has a strong effect psychologically.
No need to waste time studying dead languages.
>>2687653
I feel like you don't have a strong grasp of any language bud.
>>2687662
Sorry I meant chanting, not changing
Fucking autocorrect
>>2687653
You've been doing it wrong, enlightenmentlet.
Why isn't it illegal to watch videos of people being murdered?
>>2687621
>why isn't porn illegal
watching both is very degenerate, but you have liberal faggots saying "muh freeeeee speeeecch"
>>2687621
Depends on the context. If you mean historical footage, or news/propaganda content, then it shouldn't be illegal.
If it's snuff shit devoid of deeper political or historical content, then sure whatever. It's a disgusting industry exploiting very questionable content. However I still think the solution is more about going after those who produce it than those who consume it tbqh.
>>2687646
Porn should be illegal. Or rather, prostitution should be legal. To ban one and not the other is a huge discrepancy on the part of the law.
What would happen if Germany and Italy successfully invade Malta and win the Second Battle of Alamein?

It's possible to survive lightning strikes regardless of footwear.

Yes. Plebs that have no taste are extremely common.

I figure you guys in /his/ can help me out with this:
I got roped into doing a simulation of the Munich Conference this Saturday, in which I have been asked to be part of the German team. This is an all day thing at my university (and I get bonus on my final exam), and we have been encouraged to dress up for extra points. In terms of Nazi stuff, I have the SS Death's Head Hat and I ordered an armband. I was planning on wearing a black pinstripe suit and a black london fog overcoat with the hat and armband. What else can I do or change to look the part?
TL;DR: I need to look like a nazi for a university project
>>2687419
Just wear 1920s clothes with a Swastika armband
