Q: Which country has been the absolute worst in wars throughout history?
A: Pic related
I agree with the first three.
I don't know much about Danish military history aside from viking memes and losing to the Swedes. Enlighten me on their failures.
>>2418292
In the 30years war they lost horribly in their intervention against hre, so they switched sides and lost horribly on that side as well.
They've lost most wars against Sweden despite having equal quality of gear and having equal or slightly more number of troops

Italy being a miserable joke in two world wars still seems worse
If Mr. Einstein was so smart, why did he think capitalism was bad?
You could say he was knoweldgeable in science but not in politics, but if he was truly smart then he'd be smart enough to keep quiet on matters he's uniformed about
So really there's only one of two options: a. He was right 2. He actually wasn't that smart
>>2418010
Know who also thought Capitalism bad?
Martin Luther that's who.
Merchants made him go "REEEE!"

Checkmate protestants!
this thread is perfect. I love it.

THE CORRECT TERM IS "NATIONAL SOCIALIST", NOT "NAZI"; THE TERM "NAZI" IS PEJORATIVE.
>>2417277
Ah yes wouldn't want to hurt any nazi feelings now.
At what age did you grow out of atheism?
How can you grow out of logic and common sense?
>>2405688
OP said atheism, not Christianity.

Brutalist architecture.
Thoughts?
People are too hard on different types of architecture. There could be thousands of buildings of the same style in the city and just a couple will be brutalist or postmodern and people will freak out about it.
I personally don't care for the concrete look but they stand out enough that it makes them interesting.
wtf im a nazi now

Was it necessary for the last burst of human freedom to be extinguished in order to facilitate Capitalism? Was the technological expansion necessary in order to allow global capital to function?
So many things you must be wrong about in order to ask this question...

Those are loaded questions. Can you explain your reasoning or give us the titles of the spooks you believe in so we can look them up? It is not germanic propaganda, is it?
Who invented the eagle meme? It can't just be the association with Zeus and Jupiter because you see it in Semitic iconography too
Rome used it pretty extensively, especially in regard to her military.
Its an ancient, sacred symbol. Like the swastika or the flood myth it appears in multiple places across the world likely because it originates in heaven.
The eagle is the king of birds, as the lion is the king of beasts and the dolphin is the king of fishes. That's why it's such a popular symbol
There are several social experiments which have been created and tested on groups of regular people to indicate group behavior or even replicate historic social movements. I was hoping we could discuss these, and their effects (on a sociological/anthropological/psychological level). Info-dumping is welcome, and I'm also very interested in personal stories, if there are any (got one of my own involuntary participations to share). Some examples:
> The Third Wave
How the regular German population could accept the Nazi regime during WWII
> The Standford Prison Experiment
Investigating obtained power
> Milgram Experiment
Investigating obedience to authority figures
Some brief info:
> The Third Wave
In a Palo Alto highschool in 1967 a history teacher tried explaining his class how the regular German population accepted the actions of the Nazi regime during WWII. While teaching about Nazi Germany, he conducted a series of exercises in his class emphassizing discipline and a feeling of community, calling this "The Third Wave". He told his students that the aim was to eliminate democracy, as it worked the undesired quality of individuality in hand. He even added slogans, like "Strength through discipline, strength through community, strength through action, strength through pride."
During this five day experiment he himself acted as an authority figure, dramatically increasing efficiency in class by seating arrangements and drilling techniques. He strenghthened a sense of community by creating a special gesture as a greeting, and ordered his students to even use this salutation amongst themselves outside the classroom. Soon, students from outside the class were recruited. Member cards were created, as was a designated "Third Wave" banner, while stopping non-members from entering the classroom.
The teacher soon decided to put a halt to his experiment as most students were taking the movement very seriously, and he felt the experiment was slipping out of his control. Academic prestations improved and their was a new sense of discipline, community and loyalty. At the fifth day he gathered his Third Wave moment to a rally to witness an announcement. Instead of an anticipated message from their leader, the students were presented an empty channel. After a few minutes he explained that they had all been a part of an experiment and that most of them willingly followed him as their new fascist leader, strengthened by a feeling of new superiority and pride, just like the majority of citizens did during Nazi Germany. He then played a film about the Nazi regime to conclude his experiment.

The teacher (Ron Jones) wrote an account on the experiment 9 years later as little was documented during the time of the experiment itself.
His experiment got more attention when the novel by another author, called "The Wave" was published. The 45 minute film "The Wave" (1981) can be viewed on Youtube. In 2005, "Die Welle" came out, also based on the experiment. Ron Jones later stated he was disappointed that the dramatization of his experiment included a couple in love which dismantled his experiment, on which he didn't agree: "It didn't happen that way! Love didn't stop The Wave and it sure didn't stop the Holocaust!"

From wikipedia:
> The Stanford Prison Experiment
The Stanford prison experiment (SPE) was an attempt to investigate the psychological effects of perceived power, focusing on the struggle between prisoners and prison guards. It was conducted at Stanford University on August 14–20, 1971, by a research group led by psychology professor Philip Zimbardo using college students.
Zimbardo and his team aimed to test the hypothesis that the inherent personality traits of prisoners and guards are the chief cause of abusive behavior in prison. Participants were recruited and told they would participate in a two-week prison simulation. The team selected the 24 males whom they deemed to be the most psychologically stable and healthy
Some participants developed their roles as the guards enforced authoritarian measures and ultimately subjected some prisoners to psychological torture. Many of the prisoners passively accepted psychological abuse and, by the guards' request, actively harassed other prisoners who tried to stop it. Zimbardo, in his role as the superintendent, allowed abuse to continue.
Zimbardo aborted the experiment early when Christina Maslach, a graduate student in psychology whom he was dating (and later married), objected to the conditions of the prison after she was introduced to the experiment to conduct interviews. Zimbardo noted that, of more than 50 people who had observed the experiment, Maslach was the only one who questioned its morality. After only six days of a planned two weeks' duration, the experiment was discontinued.
Why do they speak a dialect of Arabic in Malta?

Maltese are basically Christian Arabs.

The Islamic emirate of Sicily was based , but they were relatively short lived and have been gone for centuries. Why would this supposed nation of Catholics speak the language of their "enemies"?
>>2420122
are they though? they look like Greco-Italians like Siciliy
Did Jesus of Nazareth actually exist? Was he at least a living, breathing person like Muhammad or Siddhartha?
Probably.

How did Hitler pick people who would swear complete allegiance to him? What sorts of things did Hitler do to ensure this continued support?
Recently, I read that Hitler purposely gave differing orders to his men in order to continue arguments between them and he would come out on top, divide and rule etc. Is this true?
>>2419993
he killed the ones that didn't like him on the night of the long knives
>implying half of them weren't scheming to take power for their own when the time was right
>implying the other half weren't suffering from a father complex and daddy Hitler was a good substitute
You don't know how this game works do ya son?

I pray for your immortal soul that the Devil does not control you through Islam like it has these poor people.
>>2419859
well.. go on..
Islam lite mixed with syncretic beliefs and a new figurehead with very minimal numbers worldwide so it looks unique amidst global faiths.
In other words, not much.
