How can "marital rape" exist when each person has given themselves to the other in perpetuity?
>>2491828
because women are fucking bored cooking in the kitchen and they want some thrill in their fucking,boring lives that they started to push this feminist bullshit, because muhhh equality.
>to love, honor and respect her
>>2491896
What greater honor, love and respect can there be than fucking her?
>various religious organisations such as al-qaeda and ISIS and aum shinrikyo have openly (even formally) declared war on the west
>all have stated an ambition to use weapons of mass destruction against western civilian targets
>each has made actual credible attempts towards attaining biological or nuclear weapons and al-qaeda is considered to already possess 'dirty bombs'
>wmd threat is real and credible: "nuclear terrorism is the single most important national security threat that we face. one nuclear weapon exploded in a city - be it New York or Moscow, Tokyo or Beijing, London or Paris - could kill hundreds of thousands of people, and it would destabilize our security, our economies, and our very way of life." - President Obama

>Alt-Right demands tolerance
I know the Persians, Egyptians and the Ptolemaic dynasties practiced it.
Probably a rich person thing.
Probably a noble/monarchical thing. You know, keeping it in the family.
>>2491729
Something like Child Harold (fiction character made by Byron)

Cousin marriage was so common in almost all societies as to be literally unremarkable. It's really only in the last 50 years maybe where it's become taboo. In the West, at least. Surely someone has the map that shows in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent it's still common today.
Cousin marriage is not even really that bad genetically, especially if it's just once off. If you do it for a long time in a small community, then freaky genetic disease most certainly will become more common. That's bad. The benefit is that you keep wealth/property in the family.
I have a friend whose parents are cousins. This is in Germany, they married in the early 80s. They grew up in different smallish towns not too far from each other, but both families were also good friends, and it just kinda happened. No one cared. He has one grandmother who also the product of cousin marriage.
Serious question:
What would be the real life equivalent of Dark Souls lore?
>vast glorious kingdoms/empires that has fallen into shit of walking husks
Iran, India or Indo-Iranian places in general
it even fits with the whole "fire allegory" since they used to have a big thing for that and need to rekindle that bonfire or bring forth a "Age of Dark", or do neither
hell, Indians/Afghans might aswell be hollows
africa.
Also probably shit like Atlantis or Hyperborea.
Pretty much anything from before 500 BC could be consider the "Mythical" era, since details are scares and legends are aplenty.
Ancient mythologies could also be compared to DaS, as the Gods and creation mythos play a large part in the lore.
Do I need to read Nietzsche to fully understand World War 2 history?
Why do people make these pseudo intellectual posts?
>>2491553
I think the trolls want this board deleted. Which would be a pretty good thing considering the board has a hard time staying on topic.
Hey /his/anon,
I've got a master in history. I'd love to start a history channel on YouTube, Do you think I could get successful with that? The market seems kinda cornered already.
Also I'm wondering, what kind of programs are people like extrahistory or epic history tv using to make such great videos?
>>2491493
>The market seems kinda cornered already.
Really? Because besides the great war I can't think of a single decent history channel. I mean, there's a lot of shitty history yt channels, like crash course, but the good history yt channel isn't cornered.
You could do most things extrahistory and epic history tv have done in their shows on windows movie maker or if you want to be more professional, get [spoiler]pirate[/spoiler] sony vegas pro.
>>2491866
This
I am not aware of any decent history channels
just center around Crusades and you will be swimming in /pol/scribers
So I was looking at the names of the pilots the Red Baron defeated, and I found out the list is entirely made of Brits (this includes Canadians and Aussies)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_victories_of_Manfred_von_Richthofen
How the fuck is it possible when the French had many more men in the sky than Britain over the Western Front?
Was that because there were defined sectors even for planes and Manfred was operating in a British one, or is it simply because British pilots were of such lesser quality that they were easier to down than French ones?
>>2491313
French pilots were much better for sure but I doubt that was the reason behind it.
>>2491313
>Was that because there were defined sectors even for planes and Manfred was operating in a British one,
Certainly this one. You think they just wandered wherever they felt like?
>>2491313
>Was that because there were defined sectors even for planes and Manfred was operating in a British one
This obviously. Please stop baiting /int/ tier responses
This kills the monarchist.
>Be frog
>Have revolution against unelected monarch who holds all power
>10 years later, have an unelected monarch who holds all power
It's really sad to watch them squirm in trying to claim Napoleon was defending the revolution.

Stay mad faggot.
Was Westphalian sovereignty a mistake?
>>2491283
No. Religion was a mistake.
>>2491286
Atheism was a mistake.
I was a mistake.
Is it OK to think the SS was cool yet?
>>2491212
Not even a stormfag but I think they looked cool
>>2491224
>inb4 Hugo Boss. He didn't.
>Karl Diebitsch/Walter Heck
It was always ok. Being a slave to popular opinion isn't.
When and why did religion stop being a major factor in international relations?
>>2491202
It didn't
Case points:
>Saudi - Iran rivalry
>ISIS
Industrial revolution
It never did.
>Has entire culture centered around military
>One of the biggest arms producers in the world
>Defeated numerically larger armies several times
>Mutual animosity with Iran
Is Israel the new Sparta?
>>2491183
yes, excellent observation OP. next thread
That would be UAE if you ask the Americans.
Without the support of America and NATO they would get fucking whooped
Giving Israelis nukes is a huge mistake
Why is philosophy so linked to language? Compare it to mathematics and you see that there are better ways to express ideas independent of language.
>he thinks mathematics is independent of language
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAH
>>2491165
This. Never let a stemlord anywhere near non metaphysical philosophy
Mathematics IS a form of language, albeit accepted and unchanged in most of the world.
If we choose to represent the number 2 as "XE" in one country, and as "JH" in another, then mathematics would have the same language problems.
For reference, look at bullshit like X * Y / Z + N making people interpret it differently due to the rules being taught differently in different countries.
Would Harold Godwinson have been to defeat William of Normandy if Harald Hardrada didn't attack first
>>2491124
He would've won if he only waited a bit more
>>2491124
Possibly.
Although, as I understand it, the supposed fatigue of the Anglo-Saxon army was not as deleterious as the death of Harold Godwinson himself. Up until that point, the English were holding their ground quite well and might have been able to grind the Normans to a stalemate or even eke out a victory. Once word of the King's death had spread through the ranks, however, the shield wall collapsed entirely as the fyrd fled and the huscarls who held their ground were surrounded and finally overrun.
I'm sure it could be argued that the English might have held after Godwinson's death had they not just come from Stamford Bridge, though. I don't think anyone can know for sure whether Harold's death was the deciding factor or merely hastened the inevitable.
Alternatively, what if William had died? He allegedly had multiple horses killed from underneath him during the course of the battle, so one can assume he was close to the front.
>>2491124
yes, the battle was close anyway, if the anglo-saxon army had been a little fresher, and a little larger, both almost certainly the case if it hadnt just fought another major battle and then force marched to hastings, it would probably have stood, it certainly managed to stand off several norman charges during the course of the battle
