Why were Tutsis tall and slim, whilst Hutus were short and stocky?
>>2420252
Because they are different races. Unlike the retarded "hurr if ur black ur all one thing", Africa has a shitload of racial diversity. Mainly because ya wouldn't have constant genetic drift like you would between the rest of the world, so smaller mutations had a chance to really take root. It is easier to have these pockets of people with their own variations there. Less need to cooperate, less interbreeding, easier isolation due to harsh terrain, etc.
>>2420252
Because the Belgians chose the tall and slim ones to be Tutsis, and the short and stocky ones to be Hutus.
Because different ethnic groups are different.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Is this a credible approach to historical memory and psychology?
>PTSS describes a set of behaviors, beliefs and actions associated with or, related to multi-generational trauma experienced by African Americans that include but are not limited to undiagnosed and untreated Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in enslaved Africans and their descendants.[1]
>PTSS posits that centuries of slavery in the United States, followed by systemic and structural racism and oppression, including lynching, Jim Crow laws, and unwarranted mass incarceration, have resulted in multigenerational maladaptive behaviors, which originated as survival strategies. The syndrome continues because children whose parents suffer from PTSS are often indoctrinated into the same behaviors, long after the behaviors have lost their contextual effectiveness.
>DeGruy states that PTSS is not a disorder that can simply be treated and remedied clinically but rather also requires profound social change in individuals, as well as in institutions that continue to reify inequality and injustice toward the descendants of enslaved Africans.

holy heck, they are really grasping at straws right no to paint themselves as eternal victims. And such delusions are funded by a university. No wonder America goes down the gutter
Has there ever been a human race that more desperatly wanted to be a victim?
Do you agree with Kolakowski that Stalinism is the logical conclusion of Marxism?
There really isn't a logical conclusion given that Marx was pretty vague on what communism encompassed and how to achieve it. There are far better arguements against Marxism than its logical conclusion is Stalinism and Stalin was bad.
>>2427021
no
>>2427047
Stalinism is FAR better than Marxism
Hey guys, I was in a car accident in 2007 that left me comatose until about a week ago. I've been lurking and I just need a quick rundown on what happened to 4chan and the interwebs. Why is everyone racist all of a sudden? It almost sounds like you guys are serious. How the hell did the republicans take the white house again after what dubya did?
Quick rundown:

We memed Donald Trump into the white house. Also there was a black guy before him. That's all you need to know

Can someone explain to me how socialism is supposed to lead to communism in the sense of the state dissolving? Maybe I haven't looked into it enough but from what I've read I typically see this:
>enact socialism
>???????????
>state dissolves
>communism
pic unrelated
>>2426339
Not even Marx knew that. That's one of the major holes in Marxist theory.
>>2426339
1. SOCIALISM DOES NOT LEAD TO COMMUNISM.
2. SOCIALISM, AND THE STATE, ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE; ACTUALLY, AUTHENTIC SOCIALISM CAN ONLY FUNCTION WITH THE STATE —PARTICULARLY, WITH A NATIONALISTIC STATE—, OTHERWISE, ANY INCIPIENT SOCIALISM DEGENERATES INTO SYNDICALISM, OR INTO DEMOCRACY.
>>2426423
I don't want your opinion I want what to know how people who believe socialism dissolves into communism explain this

It was the height of stupidity from a national perspective, but the Emperor only cared about securing his throne so eliminating influences from outside of China was his aim.

>business insider.
No, it wasnt retarded due to 3 reasons
1) The treasure fleets *were fucking expensive.* They were basically grand tours to dazzle plebs in the Spice Route into trading with China. Imagine financing a floating city for a decade. Not exactly fiscally sound.
2) Sea trade never stopped. It was just controlled in port cities. Besides the Kongsi merchant clans didnt give a shit.
3) The Mongols were starting shit again and the Chinks needed the money to build defenses and fund armies in the Northern Frontier.
Zheng He's voyage really was just 90% diplomatic mission, 10% exploration. It was halted because it was expensive.
>>2423284
this. Also, the article is retarded for suggesting that the Chinese might have been in a position to circumnavigate the globe. The Chinese could not built ocean going ships capable of crossing the atlantic or the pacific. Most of the time the fleet stuck near the coast.
People who did nothing wrong.

>Commander of the China Expeditionary Force.
>Since young adored and studied Chinese culture, history and language. Believed fervently in a pan-Asia and that Japan and China should be united against Western encroachment. >Deliberately wanted and tried to prevent atrocities and suffering as a commander towards Chinese civilians by allowing refugee camps, and even forking out money out of his own wallet to set up these refugee camps.
>Also made it clear that no atrocities or war crimes would be committed towards Chinese prisoners of war or civilians.
>In charge of the march towards Nanjing.
>Made note and instructed each of his divisions to only allow one of their regiments into the city itself in order to reduce the Japanese Army's contact with Chinese civilians
>Reminded all his subordinates that criminal acts like looting or arson would be severely punished.
>Fell ill during the battle of Nanjing and Prince Asaka took over.
>Prince Asaka initiated the Nanjing massacre using his soldiers.
>When Iwane Matsui heard the news he was furious.
>"I now realise that we have unknowingly wrought a most grievous effect on this city. When I think of the feelings and sentiments of many of my Chinese friends who have fled from Nanjing and of the future of the two countries, I cannot but feel depressed. I am very lonely and can never get in a mood to rejoice about this victory ... I personally feel sorry for the tragedies to the people, but the Army must continue unless China repents. Now, in the winter, the season gives time to reflect. I offer my sympathy, with deep emotion, to a million innocent people."
>Matsui stayed behind in Japan extremely depressed.
>Iwane Matsui was hanged at the end of World War II for the responsibility of the Nanjing massacre.
>Prince Asaka was released free because of royal blood.

I just wanna know if they belong to the lost tribes of Israel.
It would make sense why Israel is so supportive of their claim of a homeland. Meaning the current Jews of Israel look up to the Kurdish Israelite people as leaders to lead them and bring forth the Kurdish M'shiach.
