In the 1950s and 60s, blacks in America were becoming more educated, and taking a stand against segregation with rational protests and boycotts. They wanted to show America that they could play by the rules, becoming upstanding and successful citizens.
Nowadays, black culture revolves around "gangsta" shit, BLM, WE WUZ history revisionism and basically "fuck whitey".
What happened? It's like they're trying to do the same thing as MLK Jr. wished but have become utterly retarded and twisted his dream into a selfish and egotistical culture where blacks should be on top, ultimately replacing one form of racism with another. How?

>what happened
Asians.
They came, started hanging around and fucking with whitey, and basically alienated blacks.

You know back then blue, jazz, rock and roll were considered the worst things on earth influencing "innocent white youth" to do sexually overt dancing, social mixing and even dating. It supposedly was linked to evil marijuana and sec before marriage.
The only reason why its accepted now was because white American grandparents "rebelled" and now that's all old people music.
The freedom riders, the lunch counter protestors, the strikes and intergrationalists were seen as tearing the fabric of America by bringing up race when everything was fine according to white southerners.
When blacks began integrating whites fled to suburbs, industry followed and once thriving inner city communities were distances away from work. I haven't even gotten into redlining but it's 3am.
Anyways history repeats itself stop being so damn fresh

Were the Persians really the good guys? Were they really pacifists against slavery?
no they were dickheads like everyone else

Were the persians oppresed by spartan transphobics?
What would've happened if Gandhi were not shot down?

British empire would still be around. The UK would never have joined the EU, and it would probably have become a federalised state by now as a result. The UK would also likely have control of Hong Kong, putting China in a far weaker position than the one it's in now.
As for India, it'll still probably be a shithole. Independence hasn't really brought about a huge amount of changes for India, as far as I can tell.

So what does /his/ have against this book aside from; muh zebra's?
I just read the thing from cover to cover and found it quite entertaining, especially the bit about the Austronesian expansion.
It has a very broad stroke way of dealing with the subject, but I felt like the explanation of why Eurasia as a continent was ahead of the rest was reasonable.
That is not to say it adequately explains the divergence between Eurasian societies, and I have to say it ignores quite some cultural and historical factors. However I don't feel like it spoonfed me or other people plain falsehoods, rather it I think it simplifies a lot.
Jewish supremacist (whites are successful because they lived in Europe, but jews are successful because they're geneticaly superior) geologists tries to use geology to explain a subject he hasn't properly studied, while disregarding biological, cultural and all sorts of other differences between human populations.

Jared is a biologist and a physiologist, not a geologist. He understand genetics far better than most of /his/.
What the fuck was their problem that caused them to constantly pick fights with everyone? Was it slavnigger DNA combined with German autism?

This thread is dedicated to the discussion of the greatests minds from wars around the world from any given period in time.
Post your favorite individuals, discuss your favorite tactics and anything else that is relevant to the matter at hand.
I'll start the thread with one of my favorite persons from one of the most fascinating historical periods from recent history: Erwin Rommel.
If you have an idea of a person that fits the vague criteria I've given who didn't take part in a war of sorts that's fine too, I just imagine proving to be a great tactician or strategist and going down in history would be difficult to achieve in a time of peace.

Idolization is the future of propaganda
It's like a lite version of cult of personality, but you spend so little money for your public imagery
no matter how controversial yourself, your supporter will defend you because you are their idol
I can see the truth in this.
How long until we have gang wars with cults fighting each other in the name of their fav J-Pop idol?
>Idolization is the future of propaganda
wat a stupid statement
>>2168756
Just look at Bernie and Trump supporters
If Rommel not being accused as conspirator and still lived to the end of WW2, would him be the strongest candidate to replace Hitler after he died rather than Donitz??
He wasn't a political orchestrator within the Naz party, he was a general. That's like asking if Patton would replace FDR as president.
>>2168506
well donitz too, he was in navy
another question, will he being suspected in nuremberg trials?
What does /his/ think of slam poetry?
>>2168231
>Look at how profound and deep I am!
less slam poets and more slam pigs, I say
The only poetry worth a damn
What went wrong?
BLACKS
Same thing that happens many other places. The productive ruling elite got overthrown by "the people" who subsequently sperged out on a national scale and destroyed their own country
Being in West Africa.
What are the best documentaries about World War 2? I've been interested in it for a long time and would like to watch something about it

The battlefield series is the best if you like dry but detailed autism
Each episode is 2 hours long and focuses on a single battle
>>2168144
i want the most detailed shit possible, so this is very helpful. thank you.
i know nothing about the events of ww2 however, so im looking for stuff focusing on the chronological order of what happened in particular. are there any docs that are detailed but focus more on the entirety of the war?
>>2168170
WW2 in color
No memeing, pls respond honestly
>>2167907
no it was a lost cause from the beginning
>>2167911
Hmm, then is there anyway they could've dragged the war on for longer?
Not really.
They couldn't remove the US, the UK, or the USSR completely from the war.
The combination of these three powers was nearly guaranteed to destroy them.
>Chinese "territorial integrity"
How is China considered to be the world's oldest continuous civilization, when they've been hardly continuous with the repeated splitting up and dynastic collapse? Is it just CCP propaganda?
Whenever new dynasty popped up, they didn't destroy villages, monuments, prisoners. Most of bureaucrats were reemployed and thus their conservative approach still lived throughout the transformation. But it is after Qin that China was unified so it aint that old
It's absolutely propaganda. Multiple different states in the same area does not constitute one state. Even if you count all the dynasties as continuous, the republic and communist china definitely don't count.
>Why do Europeans complain about immigrants when Europe hasn't been one country for its entire history?
Is stoicism a good philosophy
Define good
>>2167592
Yes. Just remember to apply the principals to your life slowly. No one become an expert over night.
I think stoicism is a "good" philosophy in the sense that it almost feels natural. Its not what happens to us, but how we perceive it.
