Global Warming and all that jazz, ya hear?
Because porky wants more profit by minimizing the fabric sewn together by his Asian slave laborers.

It is when one of those brown people was the Gatekeeper of Tartarus.
Was the first world war the largest example of an entire civilization committing suicide?
No, it was just germans doing german things.

Why was Alfred the Great's Burgh system so effective in repelling the Viking invasions in the late Ninth Century but apparently useless during the Ethelred the Unready's reign nearly a century later?
>>1824148
first was raids, second were invasions?
The vikings came in greater numbers and organization and with more established bases of operation.
>>1824158
Clearly not, the Great Heathen Army came to stay.

What went so wrong?
Colonialism, and then decolonization trying to drag a collection of cultures that were 100 years behind into the modern world.
Africans are pretty dumb. Nobody wants to admit this but they are. When the Igbo who have an average IQ of 100 are considered your intellectual elite you have a problem.
The Out of Africa migration. All the best ones left.
So i'm reading up on China under Mao, more specifically the great leap forward. I've heard from some people that there is a document wich shows that the famine was planned through setting impossible target production quota of rice. Does this document exist? And if so sauce?
Mao's """famine""" is an enormous meme cooked up by Western liberal faggots
British-controlled Hong Kong had an even more severe starvation rate at this same time--but because this is the expected outcome of capitalism, it's ok!

>Famine was planned.
Why the fuck would CCP kill shitloads of its own people? Particularly their peasant power base?
The GLF was a huge stupid disaster. Nothing more.

I've heard that GLF was planned to fail, there for i was asking if that was true or not.

Just as the subject line says. Sikhism evolved from Hinduism and Islam, but it isn't "counted" as an Abrahamic religion like Islam. Why not? It follows a single God in a henotheistic manner similar to the other Abrahamic religions.
Bonus question: what about Baha'i faith?
too recent
not born in the middle east
not militant enough
>>1823863
What about Baha'i then anon?
>born in Iran in 1800s
>hippie muslims
>>1823833
it is anti-abrahamic
pain and sacrifice the basis of abrahamic religion
and Sikhs are morally advanced to reject and strictly prohibit sacrifice/torture, which is seen in their prohibition of ritualistic animal slaughter kosher/halal

Is the 20th century proof the commoners weren't meant to rule themselves?
and the 21st century
it's more of an "enlightenment values are fucking retarded when the people in charge aren't inbred morons" kinda thing
there were far less wars in 20th century europe than any other.
If anything ww1 proves that monarchs can be just as dumb, if not dumber than commons
>>1823803
>implying commoners have ever ruled themselves
They don't rule. That's what makes them commoners.
Along with Nazi Germany I can't think of another people fulfilling the "evil empire' trope as best as the Ottoman empire and the turks as a people until today.
What makes the Turks such good of historical villains /his/, is it because of their mongol genes and innate hatred of civilization and human decency?
>>1823741
The Turks make a good enemy because they were an existential threat for European civilization since the Renaissance. It's cultural perception
>>1823741
I don't. First image of Turks i have and all I see is Sultans n Coffeehouses n shiet.
Maybe I have to be some Balkan-born shitling to see them as such.
In school we learned that the US was the main negotiator in setting up the borders post-ww1. And to be honest, they were catastrophic.
>Bulgaria lost access to Aegean
>The whole of Yugoslavia was given to Serbia
>Montenegrin royal family was expelled
>Italy cheated out of Dalmatia
>Austria and Hungary were dismembered into irrelevance, but Germany was kept intact
>Majority German parts of Bohemia given to Czechoslovakia
>East Prussia was left to Germany, but Danzig given to Poland
A German rearmament was "prohibited", but there was no way to enforce it. An Austro-German unification was "prohibited", but there was no way to enforce it. Instead of splitting up Germany between Germany and Austria, they left a small Austria yearning for unification.
It is so obvious that this could not have worked. So I ask, was it a set-up by the US? They gained a lot of influence after Europe tore itself apart in ww1, clearly they believed that another world war in Europe could only ever benefit the US.
Woodrow Willson was either an idiotic idealist or hellbent on destroying Europe.
How did the British class system develop?
Why did it have such staying power?
>>1823639
The British aristocracy, since medieval times, treated the under classes better than most other countries. These people generally felt they were productive and free members of society, even when they really weren't, and hence were less likely to revolt. Unlike other similar countries, the English upper class was never (fully) replaced and retains power to this day, largely because of this. This seems to be finally changing in the brexit era as a lot of the indigenous commoners seem fairly convinced that their overlords have gone traitor.
As for where did it develop, society has been stratified since agriculture developed and likely before that, the basis of the British class system starts with the late Roman period and it's most influential periods later were the Anglo Saxon invasion, the Norman period, and the English Civil War. I wouldn't push magna carta too far since it was Norman vassals revolting against a Norman king. The biggest modern event (other than shaft I already outlined) was probably WW1 where people with Norman, Anglo, and Celtic last names discovered they all shit themselves equally in the trenches.
Slave mentality
Why is it still so strong now?
>France incredibly proud of its Republican government and history
>Most revered figure? An Emperor who seized power in a military coup
Am I missing something?
The French have spent centuries living under monarchs, they are simply unaccustomed to true liberty.

He continued many values of the revolution, so almost everyone liked him. The revolution was not initially all about just getting rid of a king.
people put on a big song and dance about democracy and fairness but at the end of the day our primitive ape brain kicks in and we only revere the man with the big stick that led the attack against those other ape people across the river so to speak.
