Give me the down low on Cambodia after WWII. How the hell does one come up with a total de-industrification policy this insanely radical, especially coming from a background where soviets tell everyone willing to listen HEAVY INDUSTRY GOOD?

Pol pot was a us ally. He wasnt particularly tied to one side or the other.
I think what happened in Cambodia was that huge amounts of ammunition flowed into a small area of space, and people did the only natural thing, which was to use it.

What did the Arabs believe before Muhammad and the Islamic conquests? Why did they so easily accept Abrahamic religion, were they Christians before?

>They were the once to also claim that the Kaaba was a Abrahamic symbol that should be worshiped even before Muhammad started his own thing.
There were actually Christian paintings inside the Ka'ba during Muhammad's time, and the building itself was apparently built by an Christian Roman or Ethiopian.

We do not have a single story of pre-Islamic Arabian pagan mythology. No creation myth, no theogony, no eschaton, nothing.
Not a single myth.
We have to look for the names of their goddesses in the Qur'an for crying out loud.
The other major source is The Book of Idols (Kitāb al-Așnām) by 8th Century scholar Hisham Ibn Al-Kalbi, and we have a single manuscript.

Severals americans crew members say they had a visible american flag, at the same time israelis just claim "there was no flag".
Did israel try to sink it to blame it on egypt to get the US the join the israeli war of 67?
I mean it wasn't just one attack gone wrong.
The whole fight was almost two hours long and involved several planes and israeli boats.

how do you justify spending your lifetime working for someone else?
in modernized society, employment usually lasts three to four decades of your most productive part of life. it lasts from 8 hours a day upwards.
why in the f*** does anyone do it? i can't bring myself to say, okay, in the next 4 decades i'll be doing some stuff i'm not really passionate about. and then i'll die and that's that. it's literally a prison.
how do you bring yourself to do it, to getting a job, to going there everyday, doing what your boss tells you to do, like a good doggy that you are?

Drifters and Ends of History

For those of you following the Anime scene a new show has come out called Drifters. In it people from history are brought together in a fantasy world to fight each other, with them divided into two factions; The Ends and the Drifters. Drifters are people who died normally and or with an unacheived goal while Ends are people who died with (in their moment of death) hatred for mankind. Ends get cool magic powers while Drifters get the tech of their era, so you get shit like a Jap fighter pilot with his vs Anastasia Romanov with Ice magic.
On that note, I assert Sigmeund Freud would be an End with the power of making peoples minds burst into flame after they are tricked into realizing their entire life has been based around wanting to fug their mother.

Oh yeah and it is very possible that the Black King, leader of the Ends, is jegus since they both "once fought for the salvation of man"
Discuss members of history and discuss wether they were Ends or Drifters.

What is the point of existence?
We are just atoms interacting with each other . Everything is predetermined and free will is an illusion. There is no intrinsic value in life.

As much as I appreciate you scrubbing it from memory, there was a modern one recently.
>>
>>1898574
You mean like re-telling in a modern setting? Perhaps, probably not.
All I know is that any Illiad movie is doomed by default. They should stop attempting to make them, they can't capture the feel, significance and meaning of it properly and sell it right at the same time. Strong days of independent cinema are long gone and with them the possibility of something substantial

If you ask a Protestant/orthodox what religion he is, he'll say Christian.
If you ask a catholic, he'll say catholic.
Anybody else notice this?

Protestants have hijacked the name Christian for themselves. Most Catholics I speak to deny being Christian, which is worrying.
Also I'd like to add that Protestants are a pox upon mankind

Nope. In Balkans we usually say "Orthodox". I'm pretty sure they do same in Russia too.

A /his/tory of revolution.
In this thread, post your favourite revolt, revolution, rebellion or overthrowing of a system of government/army/political party or general status quo.
What are some of history's biggest ones, and which ones were the most impressive if successful?
I've always wanted to learn more about the French Revolution.
