is it accurate or false?
>10 million natives at the time of white man arrival
>they somehow have a claim on every square inch of the americas despite not even being settled with in hundreds of miles of rhode island
>>1891522
False
That man is suppose to be a Sioux or some other northern tribe. 1492 is obviously in reference to Columbus but that all the way in the Caribbean which was inhabited by people like the Taino. It's like the person who made this doesn't even know anything about Native Americans and views them all as the same.
What is the difference between Genocide and a Superior military outright destroying an inferior force?
So for some time now I've been discussing with a friend on the origin of countries.
Frankly the fucker hasn't budged an inch and literally states the following countries were founded by nords.
>Britain (ok I can see this one being right but still)
>france
>Italy (lol)
>Spain (wut?)
>Russia
>Fucking TUNISIA lmao
>Baltics (including Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania)
>Ukraine
He reasons simple invasions = an entire culture shift. Is this true in regards to the following nations?
*pic unrelated*
>>1887193
Maybe Russia and Ukraine can be counted for Kievan Rus being founded by Vikings. They haven't done more than pillaging in the rest.
>>1887205
Yeah but it helps to have sources on why he's wrong.
>>1887193
>britain
they got violently expelled frome england and borderline genocided
>france
wat
literally wat
>italy
there was like one nord in sicily with a title
>spain
lol
>russia
the tsars were descendants of rurik, a nord, but that's about it
>tunisia
i want whatever he's having
>baltics
no
maybe estonia if you really stretch it
>ukraine
just no
Do American fascists pretend to give a shit about the constitution when they want to dissolve the republic?
>>1883638
I'm neither but I think the blind uberloyalty to a document written 250 years ago is fucking dumb. Like it's a great framework and all but it's not like it was given to us by god. So many people treat it like divine word, it's crazy.
>>1883650
Its a religion. The Founding Fathers are the archons for the Creator who delivered to us the Logos. Even fascists will run to it in times of need. Violating the myth entirely is violating America. If America lasts long enough, and euhemerism is valid, then the likes of Jefferson, Washington and Lincoln will become gods. They already have temples.
>>1883638
I think you are muddling very different strains of American right wing thought.
Does anyone have any experience with this author - any of his works not just the one in the picture.
Is he a good source of information?
Any other suggestions on authors who write on this subject, who to avoid or who to look for?
>>1886182
He was a "born again christian"
>A repugnant heretic
Then he became an atheist
>Deeper and deeper into the abyss
Writes a book called "How Jesus BECAME God"
>Implying Jesus isn'tthe only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father.
Stay away from him if you care about your soul.
>>1886182
Anyone writing about Jesus is going to have an ideological axe to grind so your own beliefs are going to end up shaping which authors you should seek out/avoid. Ehrman achieved celebrity in secular academia because he started out a Christian and lost his faith over the course of his career. This "Christian academic loses faith in Jesus the more he studies" narrative is super juicy for the fedora crowd so Ehrman gets a lot of publicity.
>>1886182
Ehrmans thoughts are pretty close to what the current consensus is among Historians. About the only people who disagree are conservative Christians.
Of course to Christians this is because most historians are "secularists" and not because the overwhelming majority of evidence points towards the consensus.
A bunch of pagans and wiccans are going to hold an event in my city tomorrow
Do they legitimately believe this shit or are they LARPing us?
>>1891354
They believe, there are many places, websites etc where they discuss and practice their beliefs. I myself am a Heathen, and we get together for Blot and such.
A bunch of virgins are going to hold an event in my city Sunday morning where they will eat their God.
Do they legitimately believe this shit or are they LARPing us?
Average catholic priest
A devil comes to you and offers you a deal in exchange for your soul. He will become your servant on Earth, he will grant everything you wish for. Fame, wealth, knowledge, success, anything that is of this world. But once you die, he takes your soul away to Hell and you will stay there for all of eternity.
Do you seal the pact? And if you do, what do you wish for?
>>1889442
Sure ; Another soul.
>>1889442
>First wish: I want my soul back.
>>1889473
No silly he doesn't take the soul til you're gone. However nothing stops you from asking for another one and giving that one to him then, as the contract only stipulates a soul owned by you.
Did German voters in 1932 know that electing the Nazis would lead to mass repression and the abolition of democracy in Germany?
>>1885992
The Nazis were never shy about their intentions in this regard, so I assume so
>>1885992
well i mean not a lot of them actually voted for them, they lied about their numbers. Those who did probably fell into their propaganda traps and the scapegoating
>>1886006
43.9% is not a lot?
Is Mozart's Lacrimosa the greatest single piece of music ever written in history?

No Bach is the best.
>>1884909
>hey guys, I said ...history...
>that means I have special powers to post literally anything on /his/ despite there already being a specialist board for my interest
Pity this actually works on the fucktarded janny that/his/ seems to have some of the time.
>>1884946
This. Bach is your favorite composer's favorite composer and for good reason.
Redpill me on the weimar republic. /pol/ keeps mentioning how 'degenerate' it was but /pol/ also lets their hatred of the left colour their view of history.
Was it really that bad?
Imagine the Speaker of the House of Representatives opening the session by wishing for the next session to take place in the "Soviet Republic of America" instead. That's what it was like in 1932 Weimar.
>>1882673
All societies are jew controlled, there was nothing inherently worse about the Weimar versus national socialism or Jewish socialism.
/pol/ is mostly leftwing national socialists
>>1882673
It was not a well-organized state. At the same time, it would have been hard for any state to be well-organized, given the immense dissent from both the far right and the far left, and also the broader political and national background in post-WWI Central and Eastern Europe. The whole area was a total fucking shitshow.
What are some examples of successful anarchist societies in history?
None, at least if you consider a society only successful if it can sustain all other major forces rallying together to crush it.
Literally none. Don't like them fool you when they say Catalonia.
Question for the more theologically-minded users here.
Can you explain why theology/metaphysics are useful and why it doesn't just amount to making up elaborate systems? I don't want to sound condescending, I'm just genuinely curious.
Read Joseph Campbell. He basically spent his entire adult life writing dozens of books about the real-world applications of the metaphysical.
Personally, I am perfectly content with a theology being amounted to making up elaborate systems. You can say literally the same about mathematic and nobody denies its practical applications. The same point of view should be applied to any other speculation.
>>1891467
Sure, but what are those eventual practical appplications?
>America funds the mujahideen
>Leads to the formation of Al-Qaeda
>Al-Qaeda starts causing shit in the Middle East
>"It's actually America's fault for creating Al-Qaeda"
>Colonial power leaves country
>Tribal/Ethnic tensions result in civil war
>"It's actually the colonists' fault for fucking up the borders"
Is there a name for this logic, and why do idiots keep using it?
It's the "Only white people are capable of rational thought everyone else is a dumb animal with no agency of their own" school of historical analysis.
>America funds the mujahideen
>Leads to the formation of Al-Qaeda
>Al-Qaeda crashes a bunch of planes with no survivors into WTC with mostly saudi citizen as culprits
>"It's actually Saddam's fault for having imaginary wmds"
Is there a name for this logic, and why do Americans keep using it?
