Holy shit I didnt even notice

It depends on when and where you're talking about. Saudi was literally just a desert full of tents until FDR and King Abdulaziz forged an alliance that persists until today, the trade being manufacturing technology and infrastructure in exchange for oil, with the additional concession that the US not screw with Saudi regime's support of the religious establishment, i.e. we'll modernize only up to the point of adopting degenerate atheist values. Even though there were plenty of folks who thought even the Saud's alliance with the west was too much (like Juhayman al-Otaybi, the mastermind of the Grand Mosque Seizure).

Egypt is a different story, being part of the Ottoman empire basically until 1914. After that, like in many other arab/islamic countries, there was a struggle between monarchists, republicans, military and religious factions. Egypt ended up with a secular military republic that lasted until Mubarak was overthrown in 2011.

The Iranian Revolution is special and unique in the Islamic world for two reasons: it was the first Islamic theocracy in modern times, implemented through a revolution that overthrew a western-backed imperial system. This would have been great for Islamists from Afghanistan to Somalia, except for the fact that they're Shia. This twists the Saudi's undies into a bunch that hasn't come undone even to this day.

It is not Serbia, but Serbs.

They were simply the most numerous ethnicity and thus held most of the power, especially between ww1 and ww2.

In communist Yugoslavia it was slightly better, but was ramped up again in the 80s.

>>2344306
In Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the country was under the rule of Serbian ruling family, Serbs also held main administrative positions in government and majority of generals in the Royal Yugoslav Army were Serbian.

The country had unsuccessful phase of parlamentarism which was wasted on bickering between Serbian and Croatian political parties. The Croats advocated federalization of the country, and if this wasn't possible, secession. King Alexander imposed his own dictatorship in 1929 to try and calm down horrible political atmosphere, but it proved futile because it only enhanced Serbo-Croatian hate. Interestingly enough, Slovenians usually cooperated with the royal dictatorship, seeking to establish their own secure position in the state and to oppose any future Croatian attemts to "swallow" Slovenian lands in their quest for special Croatian unit within Yugoslavia. Just before the war the state began federalizing with the founding of Croatian Banate, but war destroyed any further development.

Communist Yugoslavia was different. Tito's cult of personality enshadowed everything else in the country, including national bickerings, which were calmed down for some time with the complete federalization of the country. Serbia was divided into two autonomous provinces, Kosovo and Vojvodina, while other republics were spared of such divisions. Those factions who advocated improvement of Serbian position in Yugoslavia were silenced (Aleksandar Rankovic, Marko Nikezic, etc). Meanwhile Croats also thought they are treated unfairly in federation, that all of Croatian money goes to Belgrade, and their faction of Communist Party staged protests in 1971, which had nationalist tendencies. However Tito shut them up as well, although some Croatian demands were reconsidered and later included into the new constitution of 1974 which basically gave autonomous provinces the right to act on the same level as republics.

>>2344373
Tito's death caused new bickerings inside Communist Party. Finally free from the man that held them on leash for 40 years,none of the factions were willing to cooperate with each other for the unity of the state. Serbian communists came up with a plan "strong Serbia - strong Yugoslavia" which seeked to diminish the power of the autonomous provinces and to improve Serbian positions. Other republics became suspicious of such plans, and started advocating transition from federation to confederation. When it became obvious this wasn't gonna work, the struggle for secession began and the rest is more or less known.

Too many to count. First define "our" as the adoption of certain Greco-Roman cultural elements coincides with the adoption of Christianity in most cases. Second, You'd be better off asking "what elements of our culture are exclusively derived from Christanity."

>>2344292
Could you even define Christianity as something to adopt from exclusively when so much of it was adopted from pre-Christian cultures?

Who is Soetere?

>>2344252
it's because he would be considered saint or even a prophet by some christians and it will ends into a new type of christianity, the papacy don't wanted it, so "le hitler was atheist/pagan" meme started.

>>2344252
Religion wasn't his main motive, all his references to Christianity are just demagogy and not much more. If he was truly devout he wouldn't tolerate all that pagan larping like Thule society. He wouldn't murder Catholic Poles just on the basis of racial purity.

Positives Christentum is pure heresy as far as any honest Christian is concerned.

>>2344274
positive christianity is a meme that was pushed by alfred rosenberg, who wasn't even german. Nobody else even cared about it.

Hitler's speeches constantly referred to his belief in God, even in mein kampf he identified as a christian.

476 best year :)

Kill all the Christians and Jews

>>2344060
Gas the barbarians.

>>2344082
>>Kill all the christians
This will help, but not solve the problem entirely.

>>Jews
They already killed off most of them by this point, so many in fact that judaism fundamentally changed.

>>2344088
>>Gas the barbarians
Sadly my friend, nerve gas was beyond Rome's understanding.

Nah, Japan needed resources that it wasn't going to get from the U.S.
So, Tokyo could either:

A. Could give in to American demands, ending its expansion so that U.S. would cease embargo, but would end its war machine and cut its glorious East Asia Co-Propensity Sphere from coming to fruition.
B. Keep going, at which point it would run out of resources and likely fight a war with U.S., which was realized as THE predominant Pacific threat to Japan.
C. Expand into Southeast Asia and the East Indies in order to fuel its war machine and make up for the resources it was no longer getting from Burgerland, at which point the Minutemen, as well as Britain and Australia, would all spur into action, and Japan would be at war with everyone anyway.

Any strategy to facilitate Japan's empire-building would have culminated into war with the States inevitably, so why not attack first?

Japan also recognized its gross industrial disadvantage to America as well. Pearl Harbor was meant to knock out the majority of the U.S. Naval power in the Pacific. While the U.S. worked to rebuild said fleet, Japan was to get busy attacking all major Pacific targets and then settle in and fortify. Then the IJN would lure the American Navy into the Far East Pacific where it would would, assuredly, defeat it in one big naval action. Logistically outstretched and militarily exhausted, the U.S. would be forced to find an out. The end-goal wasn't to outright beat/invade/whatever the U.S. but, rather, force the States to come to the negotiation table and put them back outside the war. After that, Japan would have no one to worry about in its big pond.

Of course, hindsight to the Japanese is twenty-twenty that the American public would be galvanized so quickly, rebuild so rapidly, and would likely never have backed down (though this is mostly just an assumption).

It wasn't autism.

>>2344048

Extremely good post. Although one thing is that I think C is only a likely outcome, not an inevitable outcome. Furthermore, given that the entire war strategy of Japan hinged upon forcing the U.S. to the negotiating table and a peace with honor sort of deal, even if they get into a war with everyone, the level of U.S. commitment is likely to be different if it starts over

No m8 it's obviously going to be Sargon or Aurini.

Was his debate with Chomsky worth watching?

maybe
but psychiatry sure is a government-subsidized attack on ethics

>go to doctor
>get told your personal failings and problems are "illnesses" or "medical disorders" somehow
>get prescribed therapy or medicine instead of being taught and encouraged to iron out your vices and cultivate virtues instead
>"being bad at socializing is a sickness, anon"
>"being a weak frightened coward is a sickness, anon"
>"these are not metaphors"
>no ethics, only "health"
>medical profession is the expert on how humans should be
>become moral nihilist

>>2344203
You realize that if medicine and therapy work to make someone vices go away then they are literally doing what you say they should do, only effectively.

Come back when you realize that your paranoia will go away if you just take what the doctor gave you.

>>2343801

What government?

>>2343758

I've heard some Arab anon on /int/ talk about this and they it might have been possible after WWI, but by now their cultures have drifted apart too much to be united under one government.

Not to mention many of these countries by themselfs are politically unstable as it is and have different economical needs. A huge unification will most likely compound these problems.

>>2343758
No, it won't, Sunni Islam is not even one thing, for example Kurds and ISIS are both Sunni, and they are the polar opposites of each other, and Sunni Salafis (majority of Gulf Sunnis) hate Sunni Sufis (majority of North African Sunnis), etc..

>>2343777
The Arab anon is an idiot, they may have shared a common enemy in Western colonialism at the time, but historically any attempt to unify the Middle East has always ended in a disaster.

All people are evil. Read your Bible.

Define evil.

Bullshit, salvation by faith alone.
