Just because it is now doesn't mean it was then
ITT:
Turks desperately clinging to their past to escape their shitty present.
how come europeans are so shit at war?
>>1834794
No Turkish genes
How come American blacks never show any interest in their West and Central African roots?
When American blacks talk about Africa, they always reference East Africa, i.e. the Swahili language or Emperor Haile Selassie.
Most American blacks originated from West or Central African tribes, but they rarely ever talk about those parts of Africa.

Fuck off.
>>1834801
Yeah, I'm not joking around.
Believe it or not, I want a genuine discussion about this.
Also, Hapsburg general thread. Opinions? Rants? Blind hatred?
>>1834740
Osmanoglu family was better
Hapsburgs have always been my favourite European dynasty
They always get so much hate from people using them as evidence for "why monarchies suck" but I think the opposite. They went from being a small family in southern Germany to one of the most powerful families in Europe.
Austria is in such a shitty location too. Stuck between Poland-Lith, the Ottomans and France, later Prussia/Germany and Italy too.
Their empire was a a multicultural and multireligious one. They held it together through the wars of religion and the rise of nationalism.
But no

>Poland-Lithuania showing interest in westward expansion ever
>The ottomans being anywhere near them before capturing Hungary
>France being anywhere near them
>Italy being a threat to anyone (except the austrians who managed to suck even more
The Habsburgs are vile pigs who got land by betraying their homeland, trying to be authoritarian fucks ever since Fredrick I got their asses on the crown, marriages, and enslavement of the slavs, while facing virtually no real threat until the 16th century by which time they had consolidated already
Suppression of technology-you can't kill an idea!
Sure as hell can suppress and regulate it.
Telsa is more meme than man. He made modest contributions to already existing technologies, that was it. He didn't "invent" AC power

Coincidence? I think not.

You're drunk, go home to your daikamura
Name one better empire than the ottomans
>BTFO all their enemies
>More advanced military than anyone
>Colonized all of the Americas peacefully, helped the natives become stronger and then let them govern themselves until barbaric europeans took their land in a mega coalition against the ottomans that included all of Europe
>would have won the coalition had it not been for the general public to call for peace
>Also colonized Africa and helped them get up onto their feet and then let them govern themselves once they were ready until again barbaric europeans enslaved them
>Turkey is still a powerhouse that even the usa cannot be on par with
Pro tip: it's impossible
Where is the regular guy?

Did the Ottoman Empire ever have contact with the Qing Dynasty?
>>1834630
No. They shut down the Silk Road because it was unislamic.
>>1834630
Qing was their vassal
>>1834634
Cunts.
Why is it considered sexy for a women to call her lover "Daddy" during sex?

>>1834587
Not exclusive to latinas
What is it with neo-Pagans?
They're either nazis, or they're hipster atheists.
Are there any "normal" people who are neo-pagans?
>>1834544
Where did you get the source info on the topics in this thread
>>1834544
normal people would just be satisfied with vanilla religions like catholicism, not some meme religion like neo-paganism.

So what happens when somebody who has never even heard of Jesus dies? What does Christian tradition say about this?
well he sort of disappears
It says "sshhh, don't worry about it." Not even joking.
>>1834486
It doesn't matter how many people give you an answer, because it's like googling "will I go to Heaven" like Google and the internet are not God
And the "tradition" is usually a meme carried over by the middle ages and the early Roman empire
why did nationalism overtake religion as the driving force for conflict? but in other places (the middle east) it reverted back to religion?

>why did nationalism overtake religion as the driving force for conflict? but in other places (the middle east) it reverted back to religion?
Wut?
>>1834444
up until the 18th century religion had been the main justification to wage war against another country (crusades, jihads, protestants vs catholics, sunni vs shia). but when imperialism hit its stride it became more about spreading your cultural identity or obtaining resources (from other cultures who did not "deserve" them) religion still played a role yes but it more to the side compared to the former two.
thats what i meant sorry if it was worded poorly
Because until recently the two concepts were indistinct? OUR religion, is part of OUR culture, which defines OUR nation.
What if African Americans were fred and considered normal people like everyone else from day 1 (one)?

I think the south would have had industrialized way faster, our growth and expansion would have been had faster, and more importantly, Civil War wouldn't have happened and we would have much, much, MUCH better race relations in the United States today (less racism, inequality, BLM chimpouts, niggers doing nigger things, etc). Illegal slave trade would have meant significantly less niggers in America, and those that were already here, would have developed a more work ethic, family values and religious oriented life, like that of rural Midwest USA, because they would have become free farmers. Also not related to black americans but I think the USA should have imported more of Asian immigrants, specially Japanese, because they are very hard working and honest immigrants who contribute much to the country. It's a shame that east asian americans make up for less than 3% of US demographics.
Why do so many humanities majors get mad at science when humanities is so reliant on it? At least the good parts of humanities that is.
>>1834331
from my experience, it's usually the reverse that occurs.
>MUH STEM
>>1834578
This board proves otherwise.
>>1835622
Very one-eyed of you. There is plenty of STEMfag sperging over the humanities on the reg here.
