Is it wrong to get a boner while looking at classical art? That happens pretty often to me.

Is it wrong to get a boner when reading about Lot and his daughters in Genesis?
I think it's probably ok, God wouldn't put that shit in the Bible if he didn't want us to fap to it

I will literally never have someone that attractive sleep with me
Could the Allies have decisively beat the Communists in the closing days and aftermath of Nazi-occupied Europe?
Churchill wanted to fight the Soviets and liberate Europe, he even commissioned two sets of Operation Unthinkable plans, offensive and defensive, which states "The overall or political object is to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire"
Patton also wanted to fight the Soviets: "Their (the Soviet) supply system is inadequate to maintain them in a serious action such as I could put to them. They have chickens in the coop and cattle on the hoof -- that's their supply system. They could probably maintain themselves in the type of fighting I could give them for five days. After that it would make no difference how many million men they have, and if you wanted Moscow I could give it to you. They lived on the land coming down. There is insufficient left for them to maintain themselves going back. Let's not give them time to build up their supplies.
The Allies enjoy naval supremacy, air superiority, increased mechanization of troops, and better supply lines and manufacturing.
The USSR alone does have a massive infantry and manpower advantage of near 10 to 1, that could only be reduced by rearming millions of German soldiers.

>The USSR alone does have a massive infantry and manpower advantage of near 10 to 1
huh? Allies had just under 5 million troops in Europe...Soviets had a just over 6 million.
The allies had 4 million men and better planes, training, combine arms doctrine and equipment.
The soviets had 6 million men, no high altitude planes and overstretched supplylines.
Plus the initial 100.000 armed Germans would eventually become more.
Patton was right.
>>2632057
>Statistically there would probably be a few Germans that invaded in 1940, lived and fought to 1945, only to survive and be re-armed and sent towards Moscow again.... imagine that kind of hell.

Nope, pic related is what mine found attractive.

Why don't nihilists just kill themselves?
because true nihilism is a pupal stage that precedes rebirth.
>>2630923
some do, the rest are too stupid to find something to do/rationalize/accept their fluke existence, and/or too attention whorish to end their woe is me shit as early as possible
>>2630923
>Why don't nihilists just kill themselves?
Because killing yourself requires tremendous effort and courage to override survival instincts. In all their edginess, nihilists simply don't have that kind of willpower tbqh
Why did white people nearly exterminate the Jews.
Actually op most white people stepped on to save them.
Not that zionists make the distinction.

As a professor at Yale for Semitic studies this is hogwash.
Why are there so many old paintings and artifacts that depict European royalty as black?
Anti black hatred stems from the fact that you had brutal black elites in Europe oppressing whites. Whites invent the concept of race and takeover during the 1800s in numerous brutal revolutions. They look to discover an ancient white past to prove their superiority (recall they have an inferiority complex at this point, this greatest poet, writer, artist, king and queens were all blacks in their day like shakespeare and beethoven). All they do is find minoan images like this

The Spanish Empire. They played just as important a role in European politics as France if not more so. Also because of their wars with the ottomans.

I don't know anything about history. How do I begin to learn it? Do I just start from the beginning of history and work my way to the present?
get a really basic picture of the eras of history and from like wikipedia summaries then go into an area that interests you
Just start with whatever youre interested in op. Its not like knowing history has any practical value anyways
>>2617326
Yes, that is generally a good idea. Form a simplistic, basic comprehension of the world's history and humanity, especially from the birth of civilization forward, then after that just delve into whatever you find interesting.
Now, that the dust has settled, can we agree that the Confederates were actually the good guys and that Lincoln's action were both unconstitutional and outright criminal?

>there are still people on /his/ that the american civil war was about slavery instead of northern tariffs and the harmful effect they had on southern economy
>>2615812
I like how the abolition of slavery is still being misused to provide some sort of moral high-ground for the Union and it's pillaging, disorganized army that invaded the South, and raped and murdered millions of American citizen.
Fascinating, how effective propaganda can be, even after 150 years.
If feminists think patriarchy is so obviously unjustifiable, how do they account for the fact that in all other places and times it's been viewed as obviously right?
They must at least recognize that there are prima facie appealing reasons for it, right? Or do they really just think everybody was a crazy idiot until like the 20th century?

>Islam is a uniquely monotheistic religion
>ey yo check out these djinn that interact with the world in a supernatural way also Mohammed had superpowers cutting the moon in half and our major schism revolves around who descends from him the most oh and btw most our religious texts are about how to emulate him correctly hehehehe we mention his name more than we mentioned Allah's don't worship him we are monotheistic
Jinns are just another creation. They don't have any "supernatural" powers. Islamic narrative is very clear that Humans are superior to jinns, hence why Humans dominate the world.
Splitting of the moon was done by Allah. Same as the splitting of the ocean. It wasn't Muhammad or Moses - it was a sign from God to the people at the time.
Traditions of Muhammad serve as a role model to Muslims. If Muslims tried to emulate God - THEN that would've been a monotheistic issue.
At least put some effort in and skip anti Islam wikis.

We don't learn any of american history in russian schools, so I decided to ask /his/.
At which point it was decided that picrelated will be a republic, and not a monarchy like all the proper states? What inspired that decision? Is it true that Washington was offered a crown, but he refused it?
>>2636697
It's important to note that for the first 30 or so years of existence the United States could barely be called a nation. So it would be impossible for the country to have had a monarch with any real power.
Also Washington was never explicitly offered a crown, but there were opportunities for him to take power. Read about the Newburgh Conspiracy. I'm not very patriotic but that speach brings a tear to my eye.
>>2636725
>It's important to note that for the first 30 or so years of existence the United States could barely be called a nation
That's wrong, though. The U.S. had a distinct national identity from Britain since at least Queen Anne's War which was fully cemented by the time of the French-Indian War.
>>2636697
We had always had some degree of republican self-rule, going back to the Mayflower Compact, the Virginia House of Burgesses, etc., so we were used to republicanism.
Even during the Revolutionary War, the provisional government was the "Continental Congress", a Republican body.
George Washington was never offered a crown. That's just a silly meme we tell children to show how selfless he was (supposedly).
Anything else, Ivan?
Why do the Japanese have this unique ability to adapt Western technology more so than any other non-western people?
>Basically revolutionize their military as soon as they come into contact with matchlock rifles, turning their military into gunpowder capable armies in a few decades, when the Chinese had gunpowder for hundreds of years and couldn't nearly do such a thing
>Adapt western technology and become an industrial, economic, military and imperial power with modern industry and military technology in the span of 40 years when China couldn't do that in hundreds.
>>2636637
less cultural inertia. The Japanese at the time were constantly fighting each other so any leg up was immediately useful.
China literally believed they were the center of the world
>>2636644
Let me add though that the Chinese unwillingness to innovate is greatly exaggerated and they adopted matchlocks too
>>2636644
>China literally believed they were the center of the world
中国 means Inner Kingdom more than Center Kingdom as the moronic memetastic translation will have you believe. In other words it's just another way of saying "our country" as opposed to outsiders' countries.
