Can someone brief me on the history of Rhodesia and it's war for independence? I'm trying to learn more about it, but all I can find is stuff talking about white supremacy.

>Ultimately the war ended when, at the behest of both South Africa (its major backer) and the United States, the Zimbabwe Rhodesian government ceded power to Britain with the Lancaster House Agreement in December 1979. The British government then held another election in 1980 to form a new government. Britain recognised this new government, headed by Robert Mugabe, and the newly independent and internationally recognised country was renamed Zimbabwe.
When will the crimes of the eternal anglo ever end against the white race?

This is why I have absolutely no sympathy towards the British and I sincerely hope they keep drowning in Paki and muslim shit. They have a longer history of fucking over and backstabbing white people than any other group that ever existed, and that includes the Jews.

Any British anons here care to shed some light on something I've been pondering?

I've read quite a bit of the Normans and the Conquest of England as well as their Angevin/Plantagenet successors. Does it bother you guys that the descendants of those invaders still own more than 2/3 of English property? And the fact that they benefit from their family holdings and connections for the best schools, economic advancement, etc.?

Or the fact that medieval English history primarily depicts the Norman and Plantagenet eras of England instead of the Anglo-Saxon period? Anglo-Saxon identity and achievements are glossed over in favor of the Normans I notice though The Last Kingdom and Vikings series are correcting this error.

What surprises me the most is that the English people didn't ever think to overthrow and expel these aristocratic families. Especially in the aftermath of the Hundred Years War and/or The War of the Roses. The final links with France were broken barring Calais (which would eventually fall too) and English commoners could throw off the alien minority that used England as a cash cow.

Realistically, any movie or TV show set in-between 1066 (Hastings) and 1453 (HYW ending) would have the nobility, knights, and the monarchs of England speaking the Anglo-Norman dialect. And there were no actual English (as in of Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Scandinavian descent) noblemen and knights in those centuries. Englishmen were barred from positions of power so it really boggles my mind when fiction tries to depict an English baron or retainer.

There was no "Anglo-Norman" dialect
It's a term used by butthurt Brits to deny their French heritage
Norman kings (1066-1154) spoke Norman French (regular Old French with some differences of spelling in a few words, akin to the difference between British English and American English) and the Angevin kings (1154-1485) spoke regular Old French, until Edward III who learnt, some English in his life and had his son Jean de Gand (John Gaunt) have English as native language
>>
>>1802220
The vast majority of nobles in England were of Norman ancestry and the language of the court was Anglo-Norman which was pretty much the Norman language with some minor differences. That's the point I was getting across. I wasn't denying that Anglo-Norman wasn't a Langues d'oïl.

Also, Henry I was actually the first post-1066 monarch that could speak the language of the common people. He was actually born in England but even he viewed the Anglo-Saxon people with contempt. His son William Adelin was even worse who boasted that he would draw them to the plough like oxen. And William Adelin was of partial English descent from his mother to boot. Adelin could trace his matrilineal ancestry to Alfred the Great.

Yes.

That too, yes.

Why do these great houses in GoT get extinguished so quickly if they're thousands of years old? Did stuff like this really happen in real life?

>Did stuff like this really happen in real life?

Yep
The House of Habsburger for exemple was extinguished in 1914 by a Serbian nationalist paid by Germany to start a big war
>>
>>1796147
poor writing? But, there is an element of GoT that is somewhat interesting, and that's the fact that most numbers are inflated, i.e. things aren't as old or happened as long ago as they were reported to.

Only the Lannisters seem to have a realistic House size, because in addition to having two or three families in the main branch they also have a couple deputy branches, this isn't really mentioned for other houses.

Many people believe Roosevelt knew the Japanese were about to attack Pearl Harbor, but left them do it in order to manipulate the american opinion.
This conspiracy theory always seemed incredibly stupid to me, since th USA are automatically at war with Japan after the attack, there was no need to sacrifice the entier fleet, the USA could have repulsed the attacks, they would still be at war.

So why so many people believe in that shitty theory ?

I don't even know where the theory got off. Roosevelt knew a Japanese attack was coming, but thought it would most likely come in the Phillipines or some Eastern territory. No one could have guessed or thought the Japanese even COULD touch Pearl Harbor.

Bump.

>>1795453

Some saw the carriers being absent from the attack as being a bit too convenient, implying the BBs were sacrificed. That, the delayed telegraph, and the confrontation made inevitable by our embargo all wound up to support the conspiracy.

Would a modern day society be able to totally mobilize for war WW2 style?

I don't think so, the global economic supply chains have become too interconnected and most western countries have outsourced their heavy industry, and the population would begin to riot once consumer good production is sacrificed to the war effort. I think China is the only country where it would be possible.

Multiculturalism is a big issue too. America is not cohesive any more. The American identity has been thoroughly deconstructed and most people out of flyover country consider being "an American" passe and only view the united states through the material wealth it provides them. Can you imagine Ahmed, Pablo, and Chang lining in up in droves to volunteer for a war effort? They have no connection to this country other than the money making opportunities it affords them and would fuck off the moment SHTF.

The hard problem of consciousness is not a question of what consciousness is (as an emergent biological phenomenon reducible to this or that understanding of the brain), but that it is (that these processes give rise to living, feeling presence).

Refute this. Protip: you can't.

>The problem isn't "where are these feelings from?"
>The problem is "why these feels!"

But in your own statement you provide a means of refutation.

The "living, feeling presence" is merely an "emergent biological phenomenon". The human mind is a creative imagining tool to aid in survival, turned self-aware.

>>1797207
There's no "merely", merely is a meaningless word, my joy or anger is not "merely" this is that mechanistic process, because A) my brain chemistry is simultaneous with my emotions and B) my feeling of joy is irreducible, there is no objective network of processes that is actually "really" my joy, my joy is found only in itself, nowhere else.

There's no why question being posed, only a distinction posited between the objective, mechanistic ground and the qualitative, subjective product, both equally real, neither reducible to the other
