What happened in the 20th century that changed India so much? Was it really over population, or perhaps it was the caste system?

Western capitalists exploiting them

Didn't the western capitalists build the means of productions in India? I'm pretty sure India did not have any what so ever means of productions before the British colonized them. I don't think the Turkic rulers were too interested in building up any factories.

>Didn't the western capitalists build the means of productions in India?

No. Indian economy was flatlined for the duration of their colonial existence, and has been steadily climbing since then. My Indian coworker visited family recently and summed it thusly: "I didn't have electricity until I was 25; now when I visit I can't even buy anything without my phone."

Serious question. Why didn't he crown himself Emperor of the Germans and make Germany an absolute monarchy in style to Napoleon?

Wasn't he the one who united the German people and orchestrated wars and international affairs to benefit them. He did most of the heavy lifting than the King of Prussia right, and had the highest reputation and love of the people.

Yes, Anon. There is a lot shit posting, I need a serious answer to why Otto didn't take the crown of Germany for himself.

Was it mainly because of the confederation requiring the head of it state be tied to monarchy of Prussia?

My theory is that homosexuality, asexuality, or whatever other sexualities have always existed in human society, however we only are just becoming aware of it because we don't force every man to marry a woman at age 10

Was Eastern Europe always poor and irrelevant, /his/? I don't buy the "communism" excuse anymore after taking a look at some maps prior to that era.

The Balkans became poor after the Ottomans conquered them.
The rest of what i assume you mean by eastern Europe became poor after the deluge.
Russia... Historically other than a few rich city states it was always poor.
Keep in mind, pre it's in comparison to western Europe of the time, so pre industrial, the differences would not be that big (or at least as big as you imply), of course urban areas were always richer.

WW1 ravaged eastern Europe. Poland, Serbia and Ukraine were battlefields.
WW2 ravaged it again, keep in mind this isn't like the damage done to say western European cities. Each city was badly damaged several times. Germans planned a systematic destruction of Warsaw.
And in the end communists went in to butcher the economies, not only that but add flight of human capital (educated people running away so they don't get killed when communists collectivize their property), and absence of the Marshall plan. For Russian satellites it was economic colonization. For Albania it was bunkers. For Yugoslavia it was "self (worker) managed" companies running huge deficits to keep wages artificially high without giving workers the intensive to be efficient, so the economy was run on US loans.

They're not Christian, ergo they're Satanic.

Even today, anything at all connected with the occult is called Satanic, and it's well known jews do all kinds of occult shit.

But really, all their occult shit is based around the Torah and the Zohar, so kind of the opposite of "Satanic".
>>
1. Talmudic Judaism, a product of the Babylonian exile. These Pharisees and Kabbalists are referred as the "Synagogue of Satan" by Jesus.

2. Satan means "Adversary" or "Accuser" in Hebrew. He is the fallen angel Lucifer, who deceived 1/3rd of the angels to rebel against God. He also deceived our parents in the Garden of Eden. He's not some red horned guy with a trident as believed in pop-culture. Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. He was the greatest angel and became proud of his beauty and thus corruption and delusions of grandeur entered his mind.

Reminder that even the Greeks and Romans thought polygamy was truly despicable and evil.

There is a reason why polygamy is so despised, and not just in the west mind you.

I just had a nice chat with a Nigerian-american woman during a cab ride and she told me that her sister knew a girl who was married to a Nigerian 'king' for 25 years.

He would regularly bring these 18 year old girls home and delcare 'this is my wife'. The oldest and first wife couldn't say anything in response. It was just something she had to live with.

Even people who grow up in countries where polygamy is accepted or practiced know, on some level, that it is evil and wrong.

This is why it's fun watching retarded liberals in my life engaging in 'polyamory' and of course they all end up hating each other in the end.

Thus we have arrived at the following conclusions: Attempts at Communism have hitherto failed because:

[1] They were based on an impetus of a religious character instead of considering a community simply as a means of economic consumption and production,
[2] They isolated themselves from society,
[3] They were imbued with an authoritarian spirit,
[41 They were isolated instead of federated,
[5] They required of their members so much labour as to leave them no leisure time, and
[6] They were modelled on the form of the patriarchal family instead of having for an aim the fullest possible emancipation of the individual.

Equality of opportunity =/= equality of outcome

Commies practice identity politics, have no personal freedom, no private property. It's a totalitarian system where the State owns you.

Biblical economic system would be capitalism or the free libertarian market. Heavy emphasis on individuality (judge people on their personality, not grouping people into a race/class) and the flourishing of exchange of goods.

Why is being curious good? Why is reading lots of books good when information presented in a book length document is a cultural artefact?

It seems that stuff like being well read or "curious" or having a "thirst for knowledge" is marketing made to milk consumerwhores. You never see these people doibg mathematical proofs. If it isn't knowledge that can be consumed, displayed, and discretely packaged then they don't care. And nobody markets this to you, of course

It's not even just vacuous business people who extol this shit.

Every single leisure activity ultimately ends up as some sort of work. Reading is no longer about entertainment, it's mainly used as a pseudo intellectual social signalling mechanism

Take your head out of your ass please.

Being curious shows that you are interested in expanding your knowledge of various subjects and thus you are interested in improving yourself in general. Furthermore, a man who is interested in making himself better can become intersted in making the world or, at least, his community a better place.
>>
Curiosity is a natural part of being human, it's not a "good" or "bad" thing unless you contextualize it somehow.

It's pretty simple actually, Jews have a certain look to them that the trained eye can distinguish, but not everyone has a trained eye so it's simpler to just put labels on them and save everyone the hassle of suspisciously squinting at each other and wondering if their neighbor's nose counts as Jewish or Roman.
