Just recently an Englander told me he was a "Welsh piece of shit" on /int/.

> Why do English people hate him?
They don't. He was one of the better PMs.

The poster was just bantering about the Welsh.

How did the nations of the Congress of Vienna react to the election and accession of Napoleon III to the Imperial throne of France? I can't imagine they were too happy about the nephew of the contemporary Hitler being in power.

My family actually sent my brother to Mormon school because he was a fuck up and needed direction. They actually legitimately help retards find a place in the world and don't expect them to figure it out by themselves. It's structured so people with weak willpower have a community to help drive them.

Why was usury historically considered a sin? When and why did it become acceptable?
16 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
It was sinful because it was main activity of Jews.
>>
>>1885241
>why
Since the debt was on a person, rather than an item of property. A person who was unable to repay their debt was forever enslaved to the debtor.
>when
The Reformation, perhaps not immediately, for Protestant countries. To my understanding the Catholic Church just stopped talking about it in the 19th century. In most other societies I think the stigma was lost with Westernization.
>>
>>1885249
No, it was the activity of Jews since Jews were, by their laws, allowed to loan to gentiles.
Obviously the association with a mortal sin didn't do much to advance the Jews' regard in the eyes of their Christian neighbors.

>The Nazino affair was the mass deportation of 6,000 people, 4,000 of whom died, on Nazino Island (Russian: Ocтpoв Haзинo) in the Soviet Union in 1933. The small, isolated Western Siberian island is located about 800 km north of Tomsk, in Alexandrovsky District, Tomsk Oblast near the confluence of the Ob and Nazina Rivers.

>It is called "Death Island" (Russian: Ocтpoв Cмepти, Ostrov Smerti) or "Cannibal Island" because about 4,000 out of 6,000 Soviet "special settlers" died there during the summer of 1933, after being abandoned with only flour for food, few tools and little clothing or shelter.[1][2]

>A report on the events was sent to Joseph Stalin by Vassilii Arsenievich Velichko. The report was distributed by Lazar Kaganovich to members of the Politburo, and was preserved in an archive in Novosibirsk.[3] It states that 6,114 "outdated elements" (also known as "déclassé and socially harmful elements" or classless people) arrived on the island in late May 1933. They had been transported from Moscow and Leningrad, first by train to Tomsk, then by river barge to Nazino. At least 27 people died during the river transport. There was no shelter on the island, it snowed the first night, and no food was distributed for four days. On the first day 295 people were buried.[4]

>They were trying to escape. They asked us "Where's the railway?" We'd never seen a railway. They asked "Where's Moscow? Leningrad?" They were asking the wrong people: we'd never heard of those places. We're Ostyaks. People were running away starving. They were given a handful of flour. They mixed it with water and drank it and then they immediately got diarrhea. The things we saw! People were dying everywhere; they were killing each other.... On the island there was a guard named Kostia Venikov, a young fellow. He was courting a pretty girl who had been sent there. He protected her. One day he had to be away for a while, and he told one of his comrades, "Take care of her," but with all the people there the comrade couldn't do much.... People caught the girl, tied her to a poplar tree, cut off her breasts, her muscles, everything they could eat, everything, everything.... They were hungry, they had to eat. When Kostia came back, she was still alive. He tried to save her, but she had lost too much blood.

Sounds like a made up atrocity story 2bh.

Why didn't Belgium just let Germans to walk threw their land and battle France? Did they really need to take United Kingdom into war so much over scrap of paper? Absolutely retarded.

Germans seldom leave if they manage to get inside your country, and no sovereign nation can allow a war to be fought on it's territory, can you imagine how angry the Belgian voters be with their govt if they tried such a thing?

Why did Hitler call it operation barbarossa (named after Frederick Barbarossa, a crusader) implying a modern crusade against bolsheviks, when he wasn't even christian himself? Lots of top nazist wherent christian.

Did regular soldiers really believe they were preserving western christian values?

Was it just a trick to use religion?

The Nazis were obsessed with the crusades, surprisingly.

That's why you have a lot of alt-right wing LARPERS calling for "crusades now" etc
