I saw an Irish thread on here ago with some good banter about the 'High-Kings' of Ireland pulling the strings of the Finno-Korean Hyper war meme.
It reminded me, as I saw these images of the barefoot Irish. I know its probably a poverty meme, but in seriousness. Why were they always barefoot? I even came across an Irish baron getting in trouble at a party in Spain for being barefoot. Was that true too?
inb4 Irish are potato-niggers who can't afford shoes.
>>2012972
Both my parents grew up barfoot, their families simply had no money for shoes, so they only had some for winter but not in summer.
I think I was the first kid in my family that had shoes on in summer.

It's nothing. I was born barefoot.
What is white privilege really? Another word for Aryan supremacy?
Are we guilty because we are always doing it better? We won the fight they were also fighting?
>>2012904
"White privilege" doesn't exist. The concept of being privileged for having loving parents, a home, hot meals everyday, etc. can exist in a dictionary sense, but white privilege is just a scapegoat word used by political entrepreneurs to create violence between social groups and further divide society by making it seem like everyone's out to get one another (see Black Lives Matter, "the Alt-Right," ISIS, La Raza, the modern KKK, etc.) but in actuality they're just puppets used by political actors to obtain more power for personal use at the cost of a stable nation.
Same shit happened in the 60s and it led to baby boomer degeneracy, free trade, job outsourcing and the rise of the new petrostate. While everyone was distracted by the civil rights, suffrage and workers rights movements, nobody noticed that globalist oligarchs were slowing gripping control of the entire species of humanity not just blocs of countries.
>We
""""We"""" didn't do shit. You don't get to take credit for anything I've done, let alone the fucking moon landing. On the plus side, you also don't have to take the blame.
But to answer your qyestion, "white privilege" is the sum of the various unearned benefits you get in society just because people see you as white.
>>2012904
No fag.
The problem here is correlation vs causation. Its clear to anyone that has studied it that privalge is transferred generationally, independent of race. Yet some dumbfuck had the bright idea to label it white privilege even though there is nothing about being white that gives you privilege intrinsically, this marginalizes the racists (You), the people that really need to change in the first place.
The great great greats of Scotts/Irish tenant farmers are still poor fucking dumbasses being tricked into voting against their own interests, just like modern negros are still being born poor, in a shit ass culture.
See, it's generational. Nothing to do with race.

Why were the English so persistent in trying to control pic related?
Surely 800 years of occupation where barely a generation passed without some big costly rebellion sprouting up would have been a hint that the Irish didn't fucking want them there and never would.

Purely hypothetical question :
A roman legion under command of Caesar is teleported forward in time to the battle of hastings (replacing either side). How would they fare?
>>2012633
>Nigger shield walls dont want to come downhill.
>Pelt them with artillery til they do.
>Kek.
>>2012633
Badly.
For starters, depending on how up to strength this legion is and how big you think the forces at Hastings were, your legion is somewhere between half to one third the size of either of the forces historically present.
Their weapons and armor are considerably inferior. They'll probably be better trained, but they're away from the impressive Roman logistical system, which means that they're away from easy food and resupply. They don't really have the time or position to make field fortifications, and they've never fought against a kind of combined arms force a la what William brought if they're replacing the Saxons. If they're replacing the Normans, well, good luck attacking uphill against a force that considerably outnumbers you and is more heavily armed to boot.
>>2012649
Thanks for the reply.
I was under the impression that, although weapons had gotten better, it wouldn't make that much of a difference in a fight. As long as you can stab or slice your opponent.
Can you give some examples of how difference in weapon quality would make a difference in this particular battle?
And update question : equal numbers (say 3 legions) + in battle formation
Yet i'm faced with the realization that liberals acts as though racism is the ultimate mortal sin, not just a simple moral failing. Conversely historical vices such as sexual promiscuity or narcotic consumption aren't necessarily seen as being positive by liberals but aren't condemned nearly as harshly as racism is. Yet I should believe racism is worse for society than both.
What exactly are the justifications for this?
>>2012615
Liberalism means openness to change, you mong.
And that's just in America.
Most people who call themselves liberals have no idea what liberalism actually is. Your problem is that you are not looking into liberalism as a philosophy, you are observing people who don't understand liberalism and trying to deduce liberalism from their behavior. You're gonna have issues doing that.
>>2012622

If your justication is change for change's sake you need to try harder.
Im gonna post this in both /sci/ and /his/ because it has a theological and scientific part.
But essentially do you think that the existence of evolution and hard views on it completely conflicts and is incompatible with christianity?
I think so. Doesn't it undermine God's special relationship with humans (e.g as seen in genesis.) and so affects the context of the rest of the bible. Just in addition, i think some beliefs such as sexual ethics kind of lose their justification if you believe in evolution.
>>2012461
Apparently the Catholic church doesn't have to many problems with Evolution nowadays, it really just is the fundi protestants that take the bible literally.
>>2012461
Say it with me. GENESIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY.
>>2012494
but im saying evolutions still incompatible no matter what the catholic church thinks
I am a Bong wizard of incalculable power. I have discovered, through long study of ancient manuscripts, a spell of enormous power. I can make it so that the Reformation never took place. I can stop the Norman conquest at Hastings. I can undo the Anglo-Saxon settlements.
This power can only be used once. Which mystic system restore point do I roll back to for the greatest good to Albion and the world?
nothing that is good for that island is good for the rest of the world
>>2012443
Why, desu? Can I not curb the Britons' imperial instincts by sending Hengist and Horsa back into the sea? Would not a truly insular Celtic Albion that never felt the need to adventure abroad make both the Britons and the peoples of the rest of the world happier today?
>>2012493
The problem with Britain isn't imperialism, it's the need to fuck over continental diplomacy. And if you do away with that, you can kiss independent Britain goodbye.
So no, you can't have both the good of Albion and the rest of the world at the same time.
What are some other successful libertarian countries in history besides the USA? I am looking for other countries with emphasis on free markets, individualism, and limited government.

the underwater city of rapture.
i dont know that answer but im going to guess none and partly the reason why that is, is that though based on ideas from non-americans, i think the libertarianism youre thinking of is actually a distinctively american ideology that you don't really come across much outside of america. Maybe i'm wrong, but thats to my knowledge now.
>also tfw america isn't libertarian.
Is there any modern religion or mythology based around cars or other modern vehicles like ancient religions were with wheels and horses?
If not, why?
>>2012410
Modern people aren't as superstitious on the whole.
I know that in India, particularly religious Hindus will call in the priest to bless and chant and shit over new cars.
>>2012446
Also a thing in Catholic Philippines. Saint Frances of Rome is the patron saint of cars & road safety.
As for the ceremony, the Priest asks intercession from relevant patron saints, and the car is sprinkled holy water upon its headlights, engine, wheels, and brakes.
>>2012410
Christianity, Islam and Jewism were first religions. Ancients didnt believe in Zeus or other gods, it was just rhituals like modern Christmas.
>Arabs enslave, castrate and rape blacks on unprecedented scale
>Blacks cling to watered down version of Islam as a sign of Blackness
It would be ironic in Arabia. But NOI is an American thing. America has never been run by Muslims.
It's about as muslim as Mormonism is Christian and the movement was started by some Afghani who disappeared from the face of the earth.

All he did was play by the rules and baited someone else do the betrayal when he himself finally had the upper hand.
