OP here, got an album of some Zdzislaw Beksinski paintings you should all check out. It'll make you appreciate art a lot more imo:

eh, surrealism has amazing exponents like Dali, Beksinski, Giger, Kush and so on, but it's an oniric form of expression and that kinda limits it because the artist has to be an interesting person instead of being very inspired and industrious. A lot of surrealist art ends up being floating objects and objects merging into the landscape, glorified optical illusions rather than powerful imagery. Dark surrealism is more consistently shocking which is why i adore Giger's hostile sexuality and the utter despair of Beksinski.

Claudius.

Literally the most beta man in history

Leon Czolgosz, McKinley's Assassin.
He lived with his parents and self radicalized on revolutionary literature. He tried to join a sect of anarchists but they thought he acted too weird and must be a fink.

Facial reconstruction done of a Pictish man from the Scottish Highlands. I've been beginning to notice that the more intelligent people I meet here (NI) have features similar to this, especially the nose rather than the usual Iberian one

>Is it true they lived in Northern Ireland?
No, that's a thoroughly debunked theory cooked up by a man called Ian Adamson.

He had no training in historiography when he came up with this theory and his only academic qualification is in medicine. It'd be like me, as a historian, writing a book about liver disease while ignoring all consensus by doctors on liver disease.

In recent theories he has tried to backtrack, saying he knew the theory was bullshit all along but he just made it up to bring the people of Northern Ireland together through inventing a common heritage.

>recent theories
ack. Recent years, I'm tired.

Anyway as for the question
>Just who were the Picts

you tell us, op

>>2577476
I was thinking about a North Nazi Reich based in Noway and a South Nazi Reich based in Austria or Czechia, led by runaway officers or collaborationists

>>2577459
Is this what was left of it the moment before capitulation?

Desire for world relevance.

>Why did Hitler invade Poland?

Lebensraum

>Why did Britain and France declare war on Germany in response to Hitler's invasion?

They didn't want Germany to become the dominant force in Europe.


Stop asking normalfag questions that you can just google.

>>2577435
>Why did Hitler invade Poland?
He thought Germany needs more land to expand.
>Why did Britain and France declare war on Germany in response to Hitler's invasion?
Britain and France feared Germany will become too powerful and displace their leading place on the continent.

A better question is why they didn't go to Guyana or Uganda. The answer is Zionism.

I think it was unrealistic the idea of the Jews going to Africa, especially those places as they had no connection or historical ties.

Europe would have been better in my opinion, that's where these Jews were from.

Read the penguin translation. Yes, really.

>relation
No. Not from the source material alone, at any rate. They don't do shit other than be best bros for life. It's not like it'd shy away from sex, either, because Enkidu fucking a prostitute is a major plot point.

>>2577828
This is unless you want to buy/read the shitty PDF of the hilariously expensive The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic: Critical Edition and Cuneiform Texts, which is a more scholarly translation by the exact same person.

I pass some on the way to work, and on occasion when the light is red, I've had them pass literature in my face.

I come from a Jewish theological framework, not a Christian one, and some of their claims, like the tetragrammaton being completely unpronounceable and the pronunciation of almost all Hebrew words being forgotten because of the lack of vowels in Torah scrolls, or some of the other notions as to how the "real Jews" worshiped, are pretty fanciful.

From a historical standpoint, they're kind of hilarious. They were wrong about so many apocalyptic predictions that they eventually proclaimed that one of them was right and that no one noticed. It's hard to take any group with that history seriously.

Religiously, they're pretty much like any other fundie group founded in America during the late nineteenth century. Founded by laypeople and theologically kind of problematic. They also do operate very much like a cult in many cases.

Good trips
Shall I be blessed too?

Nice thread

murder it as soon as possible i have no other considerations

There's ok racism and then there's not ok racism

Goldwater was an idealist with a dream. It was never going to work. He got the last laugh in 1980 desu.

They weren't really that bad in the context of the time period. At least women could hold property and inherit.

>>2576970

Why do you ask single vague questions without elaborating more on what you're looking to discuss?

>>2576970
Power?

>>2576911
1. They didn't. The Five Families and shit are still around but no longer have to do their own dirty work
2. On the street level that kind of system can't compete with gangs with no honor code.

The "honor code" is just a way to shield higher-ups when your corner boys get busted. It's not different than "snitches get stitches"

>>2576911
RICO Act meant the government can take your house, your savings, your car, and kick your family out on the street. People became a lot more willing to testify. Didn't help gangs were smuggling heroin into the states.
