Propaganda Thread part 3.
Part 1. >>1987249
Part 2. >>1992411
How do you go from this...
To this?
Protestantism is a hell of a drug
>>1992772
This map never happend
Propaganda Poster thread part 2, other one hit the image limit.
Can /his/ give me the lowdown on the Donbass Crisis and the reason it was caused, because i cant look anywhere without seeing flame wars by angry Russians and Ukrainians
nope, sorry
but we could discuss CCCP shaping modern Ukraine or shit like that
>>1992383
All i really want are answers, because there appears to be no objective reason for this war other than broad generalizations and made up conspiracy's
>>1992419
As far as I understand it's just a pour, misunderstood, bad treated minority which is armed and backed by Russia and fighting for sessetion, after a coup/rebellion brought up an even more unliked goverment in to power.
I think the more interesting question would be if have someone here that fought there?
I would asume the chances would be grater on /b or /pol
Hey, I'm looking for a Napoleonian music that talks about the Swiss and their tendency to desert... That was apparently sung by the Great Army.
I remember hearing the lyrics once, and I couldn't find it back since then, anyone got a clue?

Dunno but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB3H05OhVDI
On the last stand from the swiss guard to protect the pope. Disregard the video.
Also yes, you found the second swiss
>Haiti was the first Black free country from the Western Hemisphere, they gained their independence from the French in 1804.
What happened to Haiti historically? Haiti seemed to always be on the wrong side of history.
>>1991972
They didn't exactly "win" their revolution, they killed all the white people on the island and then negotiated a truce with France, under which they were obligated to pay France a sizeable amount in reparations. Haiti wasn't really financially capable of this, and it slowed their economy enormously.
That and just general mismanagement that is typical in the Caribbean, but I think the reparations that were placed on them were what really brought the island to its knees compared to other Caribbean nations.
>>1991989
To sum it up niggers chimp out and kill the only educated people in the newly formed country and this destroys the economy
>>1991972
>first black free country
more like: first white free country
Is there any escape from American hegemony? Can history tell us when we'll be free of a world run by a neo-liberal globalized shithole that exports its' """""culture""""" all over the world with zero resistance? I don't wanna die in this status quo
which hegemony would be preferable to American hegemony? Chinese? Russian? Saudi? Indian? Brazilian?
>>1991791
Not any time soon! Git gud, pleb.
>>1991791
just become the new Gavrilo Princip
>there is no historical basis to believe Jesus ever existed
>Jesus was just a figure in a Roman sun cult
>>1991418
This desu
>>1991418
If there was any doubts as to Jesus' historicity, the rabbis of old would sent their time debating this. It's proof we lost historical data
>>1991418
i think most scholars these days think he existed, given the evidential reasoning they would apply to any other figure.
Is philosophy any different from religion?
Both cannot be demonstrably proven
Both come down to personal conviction
Both make claims of knowing the unknowable (nature of reality, meaning of life etc)
>>1991357
depends on the philosophy
logic and philosophy of science are quite useful
Ignorant nigger. Read up on babby introductory philo lit and come back after.
>>1991378
This. Nigga without some basis in philosophy, no one would even try "science." Look at the guys who discovered the scientific method, the idea of falsifiability, etc.
Is this "philosophy and religion a meme" a new dogmatic atheist/agnostic meme?
Is anyone down to play a round of RISK on this map?

Why he didn't flee to Turkey through Georgia or to British India ?
>>1990654
Because he would have lost legetimacy and honor.
And what would he do there? Chopping wood for the next 20 years like Willy in nl? What a promising future!

Brilliant strategy.

My family treasure is a spear made in the 1600-1610s.(Understand the age from the name of the wordsmith.)
At that time my ancestor had become a farmer from a samurai, so I guess it left a memorial.
He became a loser in a big civil war
>>1990468
Has it been polished recently?
It looks very shiny and clean for something that's 400 years old
>>1990521
Not OP, but I guess if it is a family treasure then one would keep it in good condition.
Unfortunately i'm at work so I can't take a picture but I guess if I had to pick a family treasure it would be the little piece of viking bone we have (my mother is an archaeologist, don't ask, and if you asked her she would say that the flint axes we own are the real treasure, she is obsessed with the stuff)
>>1990537
Depending on when I get home I can take a picture of it.
1. To what degree were communists involved in decolonization?
2. Why don't they get any credit for this involvement?
Soviet Union provided crates of ak 47s to every two bit warlord that said they read Marx and really liked him :^)
they are just as responsible for Africa being in the state it is as the bongs and the French who drew shitty borders
>>1990069
>stop being a vassal of the oppressive Anglos and Americans
>become a vassal of the USSR or China instead lol
This was pretty much the commie form of decolonization. See Vietnam, Korea, Angola etc.
Without African socialism many African countries would probably still be under the thumb of colonialism. Socialists like Kwame nKhrumah played an enormous role in promoting African self-determination as well as the yet-unrealized dream of economic independence.
