Today I learned that the British army still employs people from India and Nepal called Gurkhas.
Why they'd want to work for Britshits baffles me. Maybe they're forced into it.

It's proof that the racist colonialism and oppression of the west is still alive and well despite what white supremacists say.
Fuck white people and fuck Drumpf. This shit has to end.

If I was in charge of the military and the Gurkhas wanted to help out, there wouldn't even be a question as to whether I'd let them. Those guys are badass as fuck.

Why has Spain failed so spectacularly when it comes to creating a unified language and culture whereas France and Britain have, for the most part, completely centralized their governments and societies?

Britain hasn't.Also the formation of Spain was based on tolerating the laws and customs of each region

Britian is not centralized by any means

Have Dragons existed once? Art and scriptures of dragons are found from the Americas to Africa and Asia and Europe, it just can't be a coincidence. And before you say I need scientific evidence no I don't because scientists are the ones who keep the truth about the existence of dragons shut, what do you think the air plane was based off? Dragons, Flamethrowers? Dragons, Guns? Dragons, Cannons? Dragons. Even tanks and OVENS. Dragons have shaped our very lives yet we choose to believe they haven existed!

I remember that some dumbass here tried to convince me that McCarthy was batting "at least .500" because "half of his targets were actual Soviet sympathizers".
I guess it didn't occur to him that (despite the fact that his number wasn't even close) being wrong, and bullying and targeting innocent people half the time, is enough to discredit your entire cause.

To Max Stirner
God, family, gender, nation, morality and race don't exist, they're just made up to control you, and that only the self matters.
To him it's ridiculous to be atheist then claim you're moral and care about humanity.
One should only care about himself.
It's funny, because Max Stirner pissed off a bunch of other Young Hegelians by calling them out on this.
Saying they were just as pious as the religious
>>
Did you even read The Ego? He noticed most atheists still followed Christian moral code even after renouncing their faith, which means they are still Christian at heart.

Like so many socialist leaders near the end of the Cold War, he was a well-intentioned leftist trying do what's best for his citizens despite scare resources and political instability within the Eastern Bloc.

All I know about him is that for a very brief period of time during the reunification of Germany, us wacky GDR kids would greet each other with the phrase "Hallo Fans von Egon Krenz" ("Hello fans of Egon Krenz"). This was supremely retarded, but appropriate for the time.

Just got to watching/reading this
How accurate is it in term of historical fact? Was Jesus' divinity really decided by vote in Nicea? Did he really start a family with Magdalene? Truth to all the Church secret societies and so on?
I'm actually really curious now if Brown is just full of shit.

The council of Nicea decided the on Trinity. He was still thought of as some sort of god before that.

>Tartessos civilization aka the only important civilization in Western Europe until Rome
Which didn't exist, the only semi relevant civilization was the Etruscan one and maybe the Nuragic one before Rome
Tartessos wasn't a city but just a wide area where Phoenicians got their silver from and where some original writings were found (all pretty late, from 650 bc onwards)
>Tartessos could have even been Atlantis
Considering it wasn't even a city and they didn't even have writings or monuments before the Phoenicians founded Gadir I highly doubt it.
