Why didn't the Mongols invade India? They could have vastly improved its gene pool.

>>2021810
They actually got BTFO.

The Mongorrs are only efficient in wide open spaces. They get rekt whenever there are more than 10 trees per square mile. Which is why the usual comments of "the mongols could've invaded Yurope!!" are so retarded.

I don't understand why people think that if something doesn't last forever, then it doesn't mean anything. Death is what gives our lives their meaning, only when someone is dead can you gauge how meaningful their lives were. Change is what makes life worth living, only by coming to an end do the good times really stand out from the rest. Stasis and eternity are infantile desires, to be human is to change and to die.

>>2017981

your meaning is completely subjective though.

>>2017981
And in a way, paradoxical

Because Marxism is the opiate of the intellectual.

>>2016807

Authoritarian folks often are. Don't like being questioned or critiqued if it doesn't fit within their world view

>>2016807
Ever tried to argue with a fascist? Then you know why they hate intellectuals.

>>2015627

Same boat man.

God is only real within the confines of your own mind. The faith that people feel is a chemical mixture in their brain and is only there because of the overwhelming belief that they have tricked themselves into. All you need to do dull yourself down, quit masturbating, and only find happiness in something that isn't real

>>2015655
I actually really enjoy church, praying and at university i enjoyed the community (which is crappy at home and with no young people),

but i just cannot believe.

Would've ended sooner or later. Might as well end it when you haven't invested too much in it and the losses splitting are very minimal.

Probably should have tried a bit harder to leave behind functional governments.

Then again, the entire point of the colonies was to make money, and fixing up countries doesn't make you money, so it makes sense the Europeans would just leave when the colonies became unprofitable.

>>2015485
They should have genocided every sub-saharan and expanded industry incrementally.

Genocide is actually a really great idea if it manages to succeed. Its only bad if the victim survives long enough for the pendulum to swing and leave you with a bunch of whiners.

I tend to stan for Russia in general because the west tends to criticize them from a very self-centered lens. One of the biggest examples of that (aside from ignoring their extreme, but justifiable xenophobia) is how we remember Imperial Russia as a healthy, liberal, freedom-loving state, when it was really an insanely corrupt autocracy run by morons who literally ran the nation into the ground and threw their hands up in shock when the revolution came.

For the record, they abolished serfdom at around the same time the US abolished slavery. The Duma held no real power and everything went past the Tsar. Asian Turks were oppressed even more brutally than the whites, secret police were just as oppressive and ever-present as the NKVD/KGB/FSB, and the government would regularly scapegoat jews for legitimacy.

Of course, later governments did most of the same shit, but not a one was as retardedly malevolent as the Tsars.

You are right. But you get labelled as a cuck now-a-days even though what you said is in every legit russian history book. People go crazy when something puts communism in a more favorable light

Yes.

They are nothing more than emotional teenagers lashing out by being edgy LARPers is all. They have no real belief system or convictions

>what happened
The industrial revolution happened, except not in the Muslim world.

>>2015204
It started around the 11th century and got worse each century since with some flashes of local brilliance now and then, just nothing that could make it as dominant economically and intellectually as it used to be.

>>2015204

Basically just really aggressive populism.

>>2011118
Yeah but even populism in the US had some ideology, even if it was just fairer prices when it came to the railroads and the rich have too much power.

It was a ploy to get pure Germanic boy ass

Yet even under all that the quality of life was still better than the starving socialist shitholes that surrounded them like Venezuela, really makes you think
