Hey, /his/ could anyone give me an explanation as to why Haiti is such a terrible country? Or at least point me to a good Haitian history book that explores the reasons for the country's present state?
I mean, if it were just your typical South American shithole it would be one thing, but Haiti seems to be way below that, worse than a lot of African countries even. What went so horribly wrong?
No /pol/ answers please.

The chief reason is that France fucked them over in 1825 by imposing a crushing indemnity.
>After the lost of Soviet Union in cold war and the fall of communism and socialism spring, the leftover of the ideas (the idea of communism and socialism) intergrated into liberalism
>this thing was happened because 21st century liberalism is more into promoting equality both in social class and social life

'left' liberals use egalitarian rhethoric to gain votes and end up shafting the working class anyway
which is why I think we should rebrand liberals as right-wing
Who holds the most responsibility for the death of Jesus?
Romans? Sadducees? Pharisees? Essenes? Zealots? Judas Iscariot? Mankind?
What directly lead to Jesus' trial by Pontius Pilate and the decision to crucify him?
Please keep any merchant memes to a max of 30% of the thread. Thank you.
Provincial government under the command of Pontius Pilate, along with his allies in the Temple priesthood who strongly supported Jesus' execution.
Jesus was killed for sedition/treason and not blasphemy, although years of constant insults against the priesthood would naturally piss anyone off.
It should also be pointed out that declaring oneself "the son of God" was neither treason nor blasphemy. Declaring oneself the "messiah" is treason but not blasphemy; and Jesus' response to the question "Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed one?" ("I am, and you will see the Son of Man, seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.") wouldn't hold up in a courtroom even 2000 years ago as him acknowledging himself as the son of Man (although he did acknowledge himself as the messiah with his response).
>>2291563
Christ, obviously. As a man he willfully violated provincial Roman law, and if believed to be an incarnate divinity, would qualify as the supreme cause over subordinate human agents like the Jews or Pilate as well. How can anyone be ultimately responsible for an act willed by God himself?
What was Israel's position/role in the Vietnam war?
There is a very interesting series of articles written by Moshe Dayan when he got embedded with US troops as military correspondent
>Four days later, Dayan was on a helicopter accompanying the Cav in Operation Paul Revere, a continuation of Operation Hastings near the Cambodian border. Again, he was impressed with America’s military might, especially with the Army’s innovations in helicopter-borne warfare. “There are altogether 1,700 in the country,” he wrote, “more than all the helicraft in Europe.”
>But Dayan was less than impressed by the American tactics and strategy, and expressed serious reservations about the efficacy of U.S. intelligence. As the Cav went out to search and destroy, Dayan said, “One small item is missing: no one knows exactly where are the positions of the Viet Cong battalions. The air photos and air reconnaissance fail to pick out the Viet Cong encampments, entrenched, bunkered and camouflaged to merge with the jungle vegetation.”
>Dayan and company landed in a hot landing zone. “All around came sounds of exploding shells and machine-gun fire,” he wrote in his newspaper report. The Americans responded as per normal, with a massive display of firepower. Then Dayan looked on in amazement as what he called “the assembly line of the 1st Cavalry’s fighting machine” was soon dropped onto the landing zone: 105mm howitzers, mountains of artillery shells, more guns and ammo, bulldozers, command and control equipment.
>“But where was the war?” Dayan asked rhetorically. “It was like watching military maneuvers—with only one side. Could they have operated in this way, I wondered, if the Viet Cong had also possessed warplanes, artillery and armor? The heaviest weapon in a Viet Cong unit, a medium mortar, could be carried on a man’s back. But anyway, where were the Viet Cong? And where was the battle?”

Fighting Egypt and Syria, mostly.
They were busy with their own conflicts. They had a big war in 1967 and a little war that lasted the next three years, then another big one in '73.

What music did the soldiers of WW2/Korea/Vietnam listen to?
>WW2

>Vietnam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvwQmxLaknc

>>2291300
>WW2
Check Billboard hits between ('39)'41-'45. Here's a few tidbits though:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8yGGtVKrD8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFv_PoZ2iP0
>Vietnam
So varied due to the soldiers taste in music, the growth of the music industry over the '50s/early '60s, and the length of the war there is no point in saying everyone listened to X. Most Vietnam era movies show late '60s and early '70s rock & roll, but most soldiers were white country boys who probably didn't listen to too much of that and instead listened to Marty Robbins, Cash and the like. Regardless, just check the #1 hits between ('55)'64/'65 and '73.
Some of the more famous:
>#1 when the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTe93fhGGvk
>A few #1s from the mid point in the war ('68/'69)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f1z-nHvt3c

The Gaye song was #1 when Fortunate Son reached it's peak.
>#1 when 'Murica pulled out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQZmCJUSC6g
>Korea
Would have varied as much as Vietnam as the war went later, but most of it wouldn't be much different than WW2. Billboard indicates:
>#1 at beginning of war
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oEsWi88Qv0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rjO0eGeWME
>#1 in Middle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iob-_shdLQ0

Only for the second half (of the important parts) of the war and despite being the "quintessential" Vietnam song due to its protest, it wasn't as popular as common myth dictates. It's far more popular due to its post-war memory than it ever was during the war. It never climbed above #3 on the charts and spent most of its time below #10.
>"He drank deeper than ever. He started a number of open affairs with women, and with men. Male youth attracted him. He made advances to the wives and daughters of his supporters. Even important men sent their women-folk away from Angora out of his way"

So we are now agreed that /his/ loves Roman Empire, Christendom and hates Germany, Islam?
>>2290651
/his/ is a mixed bag. The common invalid here is a fedora wearing Europhobe, followed by allah hu ackbars, then based people who love Christendom and the Roman Empire.
>>2290697
But anon, I thought we were supposed to say that Romans were gay degenerates.
>>2290651
If you were to take all the shitposting at face value, /his/ would be weird mix of traditionalist Christian (Protestant) mixed with Marxists.
/his/ hates Atheists, Catholics, Pagans, Germans and Norse (snowniggers), Byzantium, Slavs, Islam and non-Africans.
/his/ pretends to have a soft spot for France, but more out of being contrarian to German things than actual sympathy.
You can't simultaneously love the Roman Empire and Christendom.
I have a working knowledge of Norse mythology but I was curious how this mythology was incorporated into every day life.
E.g. what religious practices/rituals were there? Famous festivals, celebrations etc.
Also general Germanic/slavic mythology thread.
