If we pitted an even amount of warriors of each of the Polynesian groups, who would be the most likely to achieve victory?
>>2603092
Maori. No question.
Picture SWAT, but as cavemen.
If gender isn't a social construct then how come Romance languages have only two languages and some African languages have 30+

If time isn't a social construct then why does Mandarin Chinese only have a present tense and no past tenses or future tenses?
Leaders who did nothing wrong
I miss him so much.
What would he do if he were born today to a regular, middle class family? Go into the military? Politics? Perhaps go into business, or become a top litigator? Something completely different?
>>2602162
He would spend his days shitposting on /pol/
>>2602162
They were usually lawyers. Whatever gets them to the top of politics. Most politicians today have backgrounds in law.
Was he Africa's greatest leader?
Yes.
>>2602142
WHY DO YOU REFER TO AFRICA AS IF IT WERE A SINGLE SOCIOPOLITICAL ENTITY?
>>2602152
he is referring to it as if it were a landmass.
In the year 1970, a very young member named “Lil Rich” of the Morgan Deuces moved from 18th and Morgan to the Lathrop public housing projects which is located half in the North Center neighborhood and half in the Lincoln Park neighborhood on Chicago’s north side.
“Lil Rich” met up with a group of kids of mixed race, white, black and Latino and told them the wonderful stories of the crazy gang banging on the streets of Pilsen.
What follows is a sordid tale of illicit capitalism, female assassins, tree-top snipers and the never ending urban tribalism wars of the United States
http://chicagoganghistory.com/gangs/insane-deuces/
He told them the famous battles that went down along 18th street while these kids shared their own stories of watching the Barons and Blackhawk Hoyne Outlaws dominate the projects.
Some of these 12 kids “Lil Rich” met were members of the Junior Barons which was the younger members of the older Barons Street gang.
I do not know what happened to the Blackhawk Hoyne Outlaws but at some point they died out and the Senior Barons were raising families and not as strong after their leader Gilbert Sanchez was killed on July 27, 1968.
The Barons considered the projects as theirs and protected that territory and now their younger Junior Barons were ready to gangbang as hard as or harder than the Senior Barons, but the Senior Barons were running out of gas and were not as wild anymore.
The Insane Deuces really got their claim to fame on July 10, 1974 when two of their members gunned down the Simon City Royals’ gang leader Rashad “Arab” Zayed on Melrose Avenue as he exited his car parked inside of a garage.
The Deuces then grabbed his body and took it to the corner of Melrose and Damen out in front of Man-Jo-Vins restaurant at 3224 N Damen Ave; this big murder gave the Deuces much more recognition.
any good doco's where the filmmaker spends time with native inhabitants?

Could he have taken Rome with his army? Did he need more men to take the walls? Or was he too busy fucking around in Campania and just didn't?
>>2602032
Once Rome wised up and started using Fabian Strategy after being absolutely decimated Hannibal couldn't really get anything done. Rome would just avoid every fight with him and used the fact that they could outlast him to their advantage.
At that point Hannibal needed to commit, He couldn't though because didn't have support from Carthage and as a result he just harassed Rome for a long ass time then left.
>>2602032
No. He was specifically trying to get Italian tribes who were on the fence to join him, hence why it kind of looked like he was wandering around Italy.
There was a plan, it just wasn't obvious (because it didn't work).
Considering the Social Wars, the Samnite Wars, etc. it wasn't unreasonable to assume some Italians would turn on Rome.
>>2602069
He had support from Carthage it's just they couldn't deliver kek.
It existed
Maybe they should have eaten Turkey instead of allying with them :^)

Does anybody have any knowledge or information about how pre-marital sex was viewed in Antiquity and pre-Christian civilizations in general?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RkZXZx6HCI
>>2601855
What does before or after Christianity have to do with this
Some religions (mainly Middle eastern) ones are very against pre marital sex
other ones like Hinduism focus more about cheating on partners
Meanwhile with buddhism sexual desire itself is discouraged
King James Bible
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Why aren't you a Calvinist?
cause it's a small irrelevant denomination with a morally questionable history.

i was gonna make a mean out of your picture but then I realized it was a picture for ants

Because I recognize that humanity has free will (in a way that doesn't conflict with God's omniscience), recognize the apostolic succession, and hate having to wear monochromatic clothes.

So did he do right by taking over the army after Moscow? No memes please. "he should have listened to his generals is reddit tier". I want answers with details on what he did and which general disagreed with him.
Everyone agrees he saved the army by ordering his not one step back directive in '41. Everyone including Guderian told him to retreat, some even all the way to Germany. Yet, he didn't do it.
However, he also fired von Brauchitsch and put himself in charge. Before this time he mostly sat in the background and only intervened a couple of times (moving the panzers to army group south being the only real significant move).
Was this a mistake? Hubris? How much of 1940 was his idea? Shirer says Manstein came up with the ardenne plan. Toland says Hilter did, Manstein just worked out the details.
From the beginning Hitler wanted the main thrust to be in Leningrad and Stalingrad and he thought Moscow was irrelevant. Brauchitsch was the one who focused on Moscow.
Who was right? In 42 Hitler obviously 'corrected' the mistake and moved to Stalingrad, many many miles past Moscow.
Should he have put Manstein or Reichenau in charge? I think Admiral Raeder would have been an excellent choice. His commentary and memorandums on the war are quite acut if you read through them.
>Everyone agrees he saved the army by ordering his not one step back directive in '41
>>2601611
Well, the generals all agreed.
Disorganized mass retreat into a blizzard sounds like a terrible idea.

Hey my dad had this german (?) medallion which I found when tidying up my storage locker.
Any anons know what it's for or about?
I guess it's copper so has kind of oxidized a bit, sorry if it's hard to read
>>2601479
It might have been a Boy Scout medal, guessing by the hand with two up raised fingers?
>>2601479
I'm having trouble reading it, but it says something about "men being our sons, and grandchildren" on the interior line. If you can get a better picture/transcribe the outer line I'd be happy to translate if the thread is still up when I'm back from work
