Are the Berbers of North Africa descended from the Atlanteans?
If not where do they come from and why aren't they black?

Berber is a cultural group, not an ethnic one. There's both white and black Berbers

Because Negroids are native to South of the Sahara.

No, it wasn't. But it was what brought the supremacy of the Europeans over the world. Up until the 17th century Europe was on par with other powers of the world, but when they ended the primate of Religion and put Reason, Science and Politics on the throne they became the dominant world power. The secularization of the age of enlightenment was responsible for Europe's success and the dominance over the world.

Its awesome because rejection of white supremacy caused the worst scenario of decolonisation. Niggers and latinas are in debris and finansial crysises, but their "independent states" are still under European and American power.
>>
Their people had conquered the world and produced all of the immediate technology they could see. They hadn't experienced the 100 or so years of academic revisionism to correct the narrative so they were dealing with reality in its most tangible sense. Can't really blame them, they're empiricists after all.

So, we've seen the term fedora bandied about here frequently, but what exactly does the term entail?
We can be sure that the term has expanded past its origins as an appeal to style meant to shame atheists into silence, as it's used quite frequently in subjects not even remotely related to religion (art for instance). So we must look at the deeper traits of the idea, the basic patterns of behavior that were being mocked. Because although it was used to mock atheists in general, it did so by evoking a very specific stereotype of them; this being most observable in that iconic quote about being enlightened by one's own intelligence.
I look at the term, and I see within it a commentary on a deeper, and more pervasive pattern common among social awkward young men (though perhaps not exclusive to them). The sorts who have little social success and consider themselves to be above-average in their own intelligence. This behavior can be observed in a sort of "matter-of-fact," "common-sense," evaluation of things that refuses to consider the deeper, and ephemeral natures of things, and automatically considers a different perspective than their own to be borne of idiocy. The "fedora" has in their mind done all the growing they need to do, has shit figured out, and is now set to fix the rest of the world.
We see this among some atheists, in which they refuse to accept that the reasons for belief people experience feel very real to them and are not just wishful thinking or stupidity (to be fair, we see this with many Christians here as well, when it comes to other religions). We see this in art threads when they trot out Ilya Repin's famous work and refuse to consider that beauty does not mean strictly "pretty pictures" (or harmonious if they're particularly well-spoken) or that skill does not have to go into creating photorealism.

Is this really history or even humanities?
>>
We can even see this among the trend towards authoritarian politics (traditionalism, fascism, Marxism-Leninism) among such individuals. Who see a society driven by values that to them are rooted in stupidity, weakness, or just plain moral degeneracy, and think the obvious solution is to force others to accept their own.
Now. in recognizing this tendency, I believe a betterment of our intellectual culture can be achieved. We've seen it happen before, when the Internet first exploded due to social media and the rise of smart phones, forcing geekdom to collectively look at themselves and see that their shit did indeed stink. An example of this can be found in the decline of the "Nice Guy" concept on the Internet.

We all know that there is no Utopian model for Empire
but one argument I have often heard is that the British Empire was the most progressive empire...that it actually brought alot of "good" to its subjects compared to other empires
Is this true? or is this just British propaganda

In the history of empires, the British were probably the most "enlightening" if that means anything
i still wouldn't call them progressive though

Does anyone else find it annoying how you can't have a reasonable discussion about ww2, much less the Nazis, without normies automatically jumping to the Holocaust and resorting to emotional disdain on the subject?
I find the Nazi Germany to be a fascinating subject that goes far beyond "They killed jews wtf" and people look at you to be a sociopath or racist if you don't say you hate Nazis and move on from the subject.

All human beings born on this planet have the inalienable right to live and travel where-ever upon its surface they see fit, without external hinderment. Thus, all borders must be abolished, for they violate this right in all those who live without them. Fight me, bitches.

No right is inalienable, save maybe the right to eventual death.
To institute your supposedly inalienable (yet already alienated) right, you would have to take away the right of others to form communities, freedom of association, the right to defense, and the right of identity.
You only have rights inasmuch as you can defend them, and others are willing to aid you in defending them.
Freedom is like traffic - everyone's happy until all the other cars get involved.

How was boxing first perceived when it become a thing?
as a lowly sport for proles,or a place for aristocrats to rightfully show their place in society with fists?
was the sport criticized or hailed?
Personally I think it's just giving a public and a referee to a brawl. techniques developed later,in a rule-based sport.

Aristocrats and the upper classes have historically been more into fencing. The need to be able to defend oneself with ones fists is more of a modern thing when carrying bladed weapons became less common.

Started becoming interested in Pugilism. In the times before Queensbury rules became popular, The only rules being no hitting a man while he was down and no grabbing below the waist.

Also some pugilism matches were fought toe to toe, with no movement or footwork allowed, first man who hit the floor was the loser.

There was a guy named James Hammond from South Carolina who had sex with his teenage nieces. Plural. Nieces. Also, he was the governor.
He decided to campaign for the Senate, as one does, but his sister's family told reporters about him fucking their kids. He backed out in disgrace and hid from society for a few years, as one does.
Minding his time, he got one of his teenage slaves pregnant. When their kid reached puberty, he started having sex with her and of course got her pregnant. Multiple times.
The most amazing part of the story is that after all this publicly known incest, pedophilia, and nastiness, Hammond got elected to the Senate only a few years later.
Why elect such a debased human to represent the good people of South Carolina? Because he was a Secessionist.
This is the glorious culture Neo-Confeds claim to love.
