>Such and unassuming people did that?

Their history really showed man at our most powerful and frightening pre-industrial concept of empire building. Especially when you consider the numbers and distance.

This is what happens when East Asian main land and Steppe work together and just go. It is fucking scary shit man. Consider their expeditionary forces first contact with the crusader Georgian army iirc IV Crusade.

Ha, I see what you mean man. Pretty brutal especially when you consider the enormous loss of human life and the off chance the world cooled maybe a degree because of the loss of agriculture during their time compounded with the plague. Mongolian wartime history is so great for military history nerds. I personally love Temujin's ability to use logic, reason, and propaganda to avoid war as well. They lived the life an adrenaline junkied up Viking/Crusader/Comanche Brave/Roman Legionary/Marine Core/etc

Tons of paratroopers.

>paratroopers
>low public support
>getting surrounded
>getting shrekt by artillery

France tried to use a hedgehog tactic, where they set up a base near areas with known concentration of commies and have huge jungle patrol go up and do battle
for the most part it did pretty well
but they made a huge mistake in Dien Bien Phu thinking that the base could be properly resupplied by air (shot down on the ground or destroyed by AA) and soldiers who gets shelled and overran
also it was the ch*nks who taught the Vietnamese how to transport artillery up the mountains like they did in Korea not too long ago

No shit.

You're right, hate for a broad group of people is foolish. People within certain demogrphics differ greatly, so blind refusal to accept them is rather immature. However, naively trusting everyone is just as bad. There are still many bad people in the world who wish you harm, and they will gladly take advantage of your generosity. It is best to have others prove themselves to you before fully embracing them.

Or, you know, since this thread is going to become /pol/ vs /leftypol/ again, ignore what I said and focus on cancerous identity politics instead.

fear is based upon danger, and hate is usually born of fear or revulsion (which is based on biological signals to avoid unhealthy situations)

A population of indifferent and non-dangerous individuals can still create a dangerous situation. As an example, an overpopulation of deer or any other peaceable species can result in higher risk of collisions, More spoiled crops, etc. which are objectively bad results that cannot be blamed on a single random member of the species in question. It is more than possible to hate a population for the results it as a group achieves, even if such a hatred isn't kind, moral, etc.

A dislike for the different is very natural. A revulsion of other races is possible due to biological factors. Imagine you live in a village where everyone you know is genetically similar, and one person is born who has clear asian, african, aboriginal features, or vise versa. If you KNEW the person to be born from the same genetic background you are, you would probably draw the conclusion that such a person was deformed. The aversion to illness is what makes things like red lips, unblemished skin, curves, etc. attractive. They signify health and a good chance of bearing healthy offspring which will be of use to the community.

Now members of obviously different races will all look very different every while equally healthy, but that is knowledge that comes from the learned mind, and not the instinct. You can put aside built-in prejudices if you have the desire, but you can also be tempted to rationalize these feelings by using statistics, facts you hear about populations, etc. to bolster the feeling you have that there's something "unhealthy" or "wrong" about people who look that way. confirmation bias will only give you more reason to doubt the obvious biological symmetry between races once you've begun to question it; taking something hundreds of miles away to bolster your distrust of people in the next block down. etc.

It's a collectivist mindset more than anything, to place individuals as monoliths. By that logic, all white people should be hated just because we happen to have the most mass shooters in the US, even though the number of people that have done it is very small.

THE WORST fucking maps are the ones they use in Asia where Japan/China are in the centre - Europe is fucking difficult to even make out on such maps.

All I know is that the audiobook version is 100+ hours long. I'll get to it someday, but I'm not ready for that yet. The next book on Rome that I'm planning to listen to is Praetorian.

Yes, LARPagans and Deus Vulters on /pol/ are a common sight

There is no way to be sure. Many will have converted for political and economical reasons but there were also just as many honest converts that "saw the light" for lack of a bettr word.
