Why is it unpolitically correct to say that the Sikh's were the warrior race of the Indian sub-continent?
Every time they fell so did most of India (iirc).
We all know race is real.
>inb4 dumb brits didn't know what the fuck they were talking about
Nah. The British Empire was leading the entire planet in science. I'm pretty sure they weren't wrong.

Did every officer in the Sikh Khalsa army make it to the commander/leaders list?
>>2437839
Do we really need more /pol/ bait threads?
>>2437839
We know race is really arbitrary, yes. The problem with your premise is that the British didn't conduct some kind of double-blind lab experiment that somehow extracted more 'warrior' juices from your average Sikh than from a control group to determine things like martial race. The designation was given out as a way to further subjugate and exploit defeated cultures with deeply entrenched martial traditions as recruits for their own Indian army. That's why the Sikhs were not listed as a martial race until after the British conquered them, so that young Sikh braves would join the British Army rather than self-organize into a new independent force that might fight to throw off British rule.
It was cultural cuckolding, the same kind the English practiced on the Highland Scots and Irish for centuries.
is there something inherent in french culture that it produced this type of shit?
1. FRENCH PEOPLE IN GENERAL IS HYPERINTELLECTUAL, AND SPIRITUALLY CRIPPLED.
2. MOST FRENCH SO CALLED "PHILOSOPHERS" ARE ACTUALLY EITHER SOPHISTS, OR LOGISTICIANS.
3. MANYFRENCH INTELLECTUALS ARE JEWISH.
France had always had a culture that fetishisized it's intellects

What is /his/'s opinion on the Ukraine issue?
It's been years since Maidan and I still don't understand what the fuck happened or what's happening.
>>2437688
The USA in collaboration with multinational NGO's organized a coup against the legal Ukrainian goverment because the president agreed to join the Eurasian Economic Union instead of the European Union. In defense Russia annexed Crimea after organizing a referendum asking if they wanted to Russia which the Yes vote one (Crimea is 99% ethnic Russian). Russia also is allying with rebels in the east of Ukraine which is keeping the nation in a deadlock.

/pol/ tricked some Slavic neo-Nazis into shooting protesters while dressed as cops. RIP country.
How did people find clowns funny?
>>2437387
historically speaking i believe it started in Greek theater. Irony as well as puns and clumsiness were common areas of comedy. Clowns can date back years, most likely from some of the first empires. its common to have a form of entertainment for those of the royal court.
entertainers > fools > jesters > performers > clowns >comedians.
>>2437387
I have no idea. Clowns are fucking creepy
They were originally caricatures of the rural poor. It was basically rich people making fun of country bumpkins, which is still pretty common.
>le Christianity was the downfall of the Roman Empire

What did He mean by this?
>>2437037
To Peter? He meant that Peter was mistaken in trying to protect Jesus from being crucified by the Romans on orders from the Jews; that Peter was thinking only in the flesh, and was not speaking in the Spirit as he had done just minutes ago by proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
What a day. Go from teacher's pet to satan in just a few short hours. That's Peter for ya!
(satan means adversary, not always the devil. In fact, it includes Jesus in the story of Balaam.)

Fucking how?
Better yet, why didn't France or England do this if it was so easy?
>>2436905
Europeans were pathetic
how many bombs is it going to take to get you shitskins and yuropoors to understand that americans are the greatest people on the planet?
>>2436905
Because of the Napoleonic Wars, 30 years war, etc. Everytime European powers waged war against each other (which was pretty often), they were too busy to deal with pirate bases and Barbary sandniggers always increased their activity. Notice that like a few decades after the Napoleonic wars ended, France conquered Algeria fairly quickly.

Excuse me, but I am very much an Aut/his/t and detest that shit in all its forms.
Is it reasonable to say that any society that has reached the point of being the dominant global power (Britain, US) is the true "successor state" to the Roman Empire at that given time?
They have nothing to do with "rome" other than nostalgia and analogy

Should I switch to History and Archaeology from Law?
Not sure if it's really what I want and History's always been more appealing to me.
Enjoy never having a job, op.
But Portugal, you are the Moors.
Sadly the current state of society prevents you to make a living from more intellectual studies outside of special cases. I suggest you complete law school while choosing history themed courses to attend to keep cultivating your interest. Afterwards, you can pursue a master's degree or delve into historical studies as a hobby.

What exactly is neoplatonism ? And what do they believe?
Give me a quick rundown on neoplatonism /his/
>>2436535
They believe that saving pic of 10/10 can lead you to Heaven.
Anyone who post such a carnal picture doesn't deserve to know the neoplatonic secrets of the universe.
>>2436535
Anyway if your interested in a quick presentation of platonism, you can watch videos related :

Alright /his/, my friends and I were having a discussion about the most important defining aspect of any civilization. One of my friends said that a nation's culture was the most important, and another said it was their system of governing. My argument is that geography was the most important, as it defined resources, style of building, and even some cultural aspects. What do you all think? Am I correct, are my friends, or are we all wrong and there's something more fundamentally important than all of those?
>>2436389
You are correct. Geography has a significantly stronger effect on the evolution of a culture. Not the other way around (meaning, Culture don't mould geography to their liking)
Fishermen communities who live near the sea, for example, have a very different cuisine, customs related to the sea and beliefs of the sea than a community of farmer from inland and vice-versa. A new immigrant from inland to the seas will first find himself in a strange place but he will adapt. He will not sit to wrestle with the sea to farm.
People who had some form of defined culture (even though the primitive kind) migrated a lot in the olden days. While the core of their culture, which was intimately linked to their language, religious and spiritual beliefs remained the same - the social traditions, dietary preferences, farming practices adapted to the newer geography - visible through the induction of newer deities in their core beliefs (not a replacement of it).
For example the Nordic-Germanic cultures - while a part of Indo-European subgroup, following the IE pantheon of Storm and thunder gods - adapted themselves to the freezing north and the motifs of life and fertility (survival on ice mattered) of the native cultures against the harsh freezing north gained a semi-antagonistic and semi-supportive pantheon (Aesir vs Vanir). Dietary habit changed, hunting and preservation was given importance. curing food material were given importance.
Compare it with tropical and sub-tropical cultures where season does not swing to extremities and rainfall provides varieties of agricultural products each season - here preservation is not the culture but rather serving anything fresh is preferred. Diet and cuisine are highly inclusive and focus on freshness rather than cured product.
Systems of Governing is the third aspect of it all. If you will look throughout history, societies have gone through similar phases of Preist-Kings-> Warrior-Kings-> Feudal Lords-> Monarchies to Empire.
If abos were transported to the Italian peninsula in 5000 BC would have Rome still emerged?
>>2436562
That's exactly what I was thinking. One example I used was that in some cultures in the Middle East like the Bedouin, whose style of clothing and living directly reflect their life in the deserts
Anybody else here /reenactment/? Post your outfits

Hello fellow 15thC bro! Nice chaperone.
I do late 15th, a little early 17th and used to do middle bronze age and darkage as hobbies.
