My dad told me I didn't know my history well. I told him we didn't have to join WW1 even though the Lusitania sank, it was purely a European war and that we didn't have to join WW2, even though the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, we could've just limited it to an American-Japanese war. Also I truly believe Soviets would've destroyed Nazi Germany without our economic assistance.
Am I a retard, /his/?

Nah, I mostly agree with you. Older generations are weird when it comes to world wars and whatnot. They're more "globalists" in that sense.

Germany declared war on the USA, so yes, you are.

I didn't need to read your post to know you are retarded.
Is American soil magic?
If muslims or chinese had landed at Plymouth Rock, would America be the same country it is today?
Given the obvious answer, why is history ignored, and the idea pushed that any culture can come to America and just "be" American?

Jews
>>2625464
They live to undermine identity through psyops and language manipulation, and ultimately profit from the destroyed lives.
American is just a set of values. In fact a newly arrived Muslim is more American than a Trump supporter, because Trump goes against American values.

>Taking that Kesselring quote wildly out of context
>He was the best leader of fast-moving troops but only up to army level. Above that level it was too much for him. Rommel was given too much responsibility. He was a good commander for a corps of army but he was too moody, too changeable. One moment he would be enthusiastic, next moment depressed.
Why is that socialists don't understand economics?

I'm brazilian and I hate fucking keynesians. Fucking pieces of shit. I wish they would all die.
My god I'll kill myself and my country won't adopt the free market. This fucking country should be first world but because of fucking socialists and communists who follow Lord Keynes. We are FUCKED. oh my god I hate keynes and marx so fucking much
>>2625357
Maybe if you weren't such a fucking retard who can't tell Keynes wasn't a Marxist we'd respect your opinion

Is history repeating itself?
Is America becoming a fascist state?
What is American fascism?
I mean Upton Sinclair laid it all out back when it was actually happening. American fascism would have to be a mixture of Christian theology and patriotism or as Sinclair put it 'wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross'.
Is it happening now? No. Not really. America is an empire in decline, it's just going through a particularly bad period of feckless leaders, widespread corruption and a loss of identity. This is our 'Crisis of the Third Century'.
So, are people born in the 21st century just retarded, or what?

If one church allows married LGBT priests and another church doesn't, which church is right?
Are married priests in general ok with God?
>which church is right?
That depends on how you measure it. If you're a doctrinaire christian then you look at how closely their actions resemble biblical law, which in this case it doesn't. If, however, you're a more progressive, interpretative christian then you look for a parity in treatment between straight parishioners and clergy and LGBT ones. in which case this would be right.
>>2625189
Are "interpretive" Christians' souls damned?
>>2625189
The only case where LGBT priests would be allowed is under an oath before God of lifetime celibacy and renunciation.
I would argue that because LGBT is identity politics, and renunciation would require one to reject that identity, that no such oath could work.
Anyone wanna liberate the holy land?
No. It's a spit of desert covered in ruins of one of the least interesting bronze age civilizations and now occupied by poverty-stricken zealots.

I've only been on this board a day, but I think I already I have an idea of how much of quality the content posted on it is.I'll just go read a book or look at another website, I could probably learn more from one of those two in an hour than browsing this board for a week.
Hello this book rules
Basic premise is that the Red Army basically defeated the Nazis not out of fear of Stalin, but because of intentional and systematic politicization of soldiers. There are stories of snipers who got nervous because they hadn't killed any Nazis that day for Glorious Russia, and critically wounded soldiers who were desperate to get their paperwork to join the party through so they could die as a communist. Membership in the party was relatively limited, but by killing ten Nazis ("Fritzes”, they called them) you could get in. Rank and file saw Nazis as another incarnation of capitalist imperialism and we're proud to take as many Nazis with them to the grave in defense of the Soviets. Really really good read, though I'm only a hundred or so pages in.
Here's a decent review

did you read it while standing in a breadline?
Eh, I mean the Soviet Army was such a polyglot mix of races, ethnicities and cultures that politics was really the only thing you could use to unite them. It didn't help though that party membership often led to inept bureaucrats being made into officers who's idea of tactical brilliance was pamphlets and rote memorization of Communist doctrine.
What did he ACTUALLY do wrong? I can't really think of anything negative about his rule in Italy.

The Jews did nothing wrong. You cannot refute this. They literally dindu nuffin.
Did Hitler exist?
How can Hitler be real if the Holocaust isn't real?
He was made up by the meat industry to smear vegetarians.
Most historians he agree he was at least a real person.

>The prince of Troy who was a womanizer (by ancient standards) was named Paris

It all makes sense.

>France was destroyed by GeRmans
So much coincidences, it mean something right ?
Were the Norse Gods the Same as the Greek/Roman Gods under a different name?
>>2624756
All indo-europeans share a rather similar pantheon where the Thunder-God is usually the most important one.
>>2624756
it depends, if you believe in the jungian archethypes. If you do, you will find that all pantheons have many eerie similarities.
>>2624756
No, they were completely different.
Name three speeches by Hitler without Google and quote three lines from each of these speeches.

>I speak German
>A new community is being built in Germany and it is our most beautiful goal and aim. Those who can not see past their own nose deserve our pity more than anything else. It is the luck to help which rewards those who commit themselves to this socialist state, and this commitment must happen every new winter. Our social welfare system is so much more than just charity because we do not say to the rich people "Please, give something to the poor." Instead we say "German people, help yourself!" Everyone must help, whether you are rich or poor. Everyone must have the belief that there's always someone in a much worse situation than I am, and this person I want to help as a comrade. If one should say, "Yes, but do I have to sacrifice a lot?" That is the glory of giving! When you sacrifice for your community, then you can walk with your head held up high.
