He descended from Polish-Kashubian nobility. So Slavic.

Also Mongols are not Turkic, they are Mongolic.

Needs a state to house the EU parliament and NATO. And it can't be relevant cause that would mean it could get in it's head that they deserve something.

Ethiopia took over a big chunk of inland Somalia (the Ogaden) around the late 19th century and they still treat the place like shit. In the early 20th century the Dervish State arose in the region and tried to fight back, but was overpowered by British aerial attacks after 23 years. Conflict between Muslims and Christians in the Horn of Africa has been around for centuries, but the Ogaden conflict is a lot more ethnic/nationalist in character. There was a Somali invasion of Ethiopia in 1977 and Ethiopian interventions in Somali in 1998-2003 as well as a bunch of smaller conflicts and insurrections. It's more complicated because of all the different Somali and international groups involved, but that's all I know.

>>2065770

I know that there were some big issues in the 1970s, back when Somalia worked, over control of the mainly Somalian region of Ogaden. I think it was mainly politically, because the Berg regime in Ethiopia tended to exclude people who weren't Amharic or Tigray from power -- the same factors of discrimination of driving the Omoro protests today.

At this point, because Somalia remains a failed state, I think that the situation is just weird. As in, I'm sure lots of Somalis in the Mogadishu government don't like Ethiopia, but they sort of depend on to keep al-Shabaab out of the city. Also, Ogaden is sort of frontier area in the sense that it is crazy poor, has fluid borders with many parts of Somalia, and the government is corrupt and exploitative. I think the violence there now is a combination of old sentiment about exclusion and oppression, plus criminal gangs involved in some way with smuggling in Somalia.

>>2066364
Also Theres is a dispute on how Ethiopia took Ogaden
Ethiopians say they conquered it while Somalis say they were given by the Europeans
Which is more accurate?

What's wrong with social constructs? Anyway the purpose of laws is desirable outcomes for society.

>>2065777
It's a liberal maymay to call everything a social construct because if it's a social construct it means it can be deconstructed.

>>2065708
>what justification is there for having laws?
Survival of the group.

Italians remind Germans to relax and have fun while Germans remind Italians to work hard and stay organized.

They complete each other.

He's right though. Nihilism is silly and if you see it more than as an emotional issue you're edgy desu.

>>2065251
it's not any more silly or edgy than all the other bs ideologies and movements or whateve

Nihilism would truly be a lack of ideology.

Or the inability to form one that pleases yourself after the realization that all ideology is bullshit that we use to lie to ourselves with.

King Zog of Albania was even trying to hide he was controlled by the jews.

I'm talking open influence.Legal lobbying. Not shadow governments.

>>2065209
>It's public knowledge that the Israeli lobby wields tremendous influence on the US government.


No it isn't. There's 0 correlation between AIPAC's efforts and things AIPAC cares about, such as U.S. involvement on Israel's side in the Middle-East.

I mean for fuck's sake, you'd think that if the Israeli lobby controlled things, they'd cut off all that aid to places like Egypt and Lebanon and Iraq.

It's old, and mostly focuses on cold war stuff, but you should read this book, as it goes through the actions and effects of the Israeli lobby in enormous detail.

Low Quality Bait
Most of the books in the Imperial Library were already burnt/destroyed before the Ottomans commenced attack. This was due to random fires and other war damage (Forth Crusade).

>let alone credited

hmm

>>2064567
you really think someone would do that?
just make up something insane about a widely reviled enemy? romans were amazing at destroying legacies if it was advantageous to do so and tiberius was a prime target for such a thing
not saying he was good but that's just making shit up about a dead guy nobody liked

But he's responsible for Caligula so it's fine.

Sex!

>>2064301
I'm happy for you, but this ain't history.

and look at their brilliance and ingenuity

maybe we should start doing the same to boys, imagine the generations of scholars produced this way

Ancient Greek pedantry wasn't really sexual, it was more of a dominance thing and rarely involved anal sex. Usually the boy would be forced to pleasure his mentor with his inner thigh or hand.

>>2064316
and end up with shitty armies like the spartans?

no thanks

Historical context, esp the evolution of language, offers a world of metaphor to further realize concepts
