Tell me about them /his/. I know nothing except how badass they were/are. What about their culture, religion and history?
Also is Nepali and Gurkha basically the same or what?
>>2385083
C'mon guys, you must know something.
>>2385083
Nothing badass about them, just a random bunch of mountain Chinks. The entire myth about them being the ultimate warriors or some shit was just invited by the Anglos for propaganda purposes, that's it.
>>2385083
The short answer is they were poor cannon fodder for about a century as Britain steadily lost its old sources of manpower from other Commonwealth nations, and as Britain's military was downsized the Gurkhas were slowly reformed into an increasingly elite part of the army taking advantage of the relative poverty of its recruitment pool of poor Nepalese kids and the historically suicidal and disposable use of Gurkha soldiers to increase morale.
>While a student at the Realschule, Wittgenstein was influenced by Austrian philosopher Otto Weininger's 1903 book Geschlecht und Charakter (Sex and Character). Weininger (1880–1903), who was also Jewish, argued that the concepts male and female exist only as Platonic forms, and that Jews tend to embody the platonic femininity. Whereas men are basically rational, women operate only at the level of their emotions and sexual organs. Jews, Weininger argued, are similar, saturated with femininity, with no sense of right and wrong, and no soul. Weininger argues that man must choose between his masculine and feminine sides, consciousness and unconsciousness, Platonic love and sexuality. Love and sexual desire stand in contradiction, and love between a woman and a man is therefore doomed to misery or immorality. The only life worth living is the spiritual one—to live as a woman or a Jew means one has no right to live at all; the choice is genius or death.
> Many years later, as a professor at Cambridge, Wittgenstein distributed copies of Weininger's book to his bemused academic colleagues. He said that Weininger's arguments were wrong, but that it was the way they were wrong that was interesting.[66]
What did he mean by this? No, seriously, what the fuck did he actually mean?
Yes, this was always a strange one for me when reading about Wittgenstein's life.
Still don't really get what he meant.
>>2384781
in Weininger's article it says Witt thought it was wrong as whole, but it isn't telling much

An aesthetic car wreck.

two more world wars by now
biological and chemical weapons in place of nuclear warheads.
rich western nations, russia, china, japan, and south korea have environmentally sealed exoskeleton suits. that are used by special chemical weapons units. they flood a target area with nerve agents and then walk in to mop up anyone that got their mask on in time.
no nuclear power anywhere. aircraft carriers and submarines are still oil burners. submarines aren't the big threat that they are since they need to surface regularly.
at least a few countries were wiped out by a bio weapon attack. then the fire bombing campaign used to clean up the afflicted area.

Each time I feel bad for France in WW1 and WW2, I remember that the French raped the Germans for centuries and literally have a half of their current territory made of stolen German lands

Which the Germans stole from Latins to begin with.
France's constant cucking of Germany is just revenge for the SPQR

New to this board, can anyone recommend a book/site or anything really that accurately details the lives and legacy of the Vikings?

You could always read any of the Sagas. I'm currently reading a book of the Icelandic Sagas and it's pretty neat. It's amazing how relatable the characters are.
what are some good books to learn about the israeli-palestinian conflict?
The Revolt.
The protocols of the elders of Zion

Why do you deny that the Exodus really happened?
>>2383911
yes
But we don't.
>>2383911
I don't, but it usually stems from the name of the city given in Genesis. The city of Ramses is too modern compared to the rest of the evidence, so often people just throw out the whole idea. If you look at Avaris, which is older and in the same location, everything matches up. Check out "Patterns of Evidence" on Netflix.
Who were the ancient Israelites?
Ancient Semitics?
Palestinians.
Abraham > Isaac > Jacob.
Jacob's name was changed to Israel, which means "Struggle with God".
Jacob/Israel had 12 sons, which would eventually become known as the 12 tribes of Israel.
They settled in Egypt and multiplied there, until the exodus.
Are Turks the most red pilled people?

If by "red pilled" you mean "semihuman niggers" then yes, yes they are.
