Scotland was historically domianted by Lowlanders who are Anglos rather than Celts.

Natural borders. Wales got fucked hard because the border between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and proto-Wales is just an arbitrary line in a field. Scotland has an actual defensible chokepoint.

This goes for all the ancient near east. The firmament is like metal layer that holds the waters above (until it's opened and a deluge comes and ends the world). Basically waters above and waters below. Poetic language in the Bible like the "heaven of heavens" actually make literal sense in their conception of the world.

I also wonder wtf they thought was happening when a ship disappeared over the horizon

>>1743841
They probably dismissed it as the ship getting smaller and smaller because of distance.

No. North Africa is not the same as Sub-Saharan Africa. Egyptians were not sub saharan Africans.

There was a single dynasty of black Nubians from the Sudan area but they weren't the same as the Egyptians.

If any mexican leader actually gave a shit about their people they'd petition for entry into the union or some other nation that clearly knew how to govern themselves.

Same goes for every other 3rd world shit pile that fails at the state building game.

>>1743688
Diaz actually had talented ministers at his disposal. We'll never know whether his state building would have been successful or not because the Mexican revolution was a big setback (the extent that the mexican revolution originated in porfirian state building is a debate that hasn't been settled yet as far as I know. The book I read on him argued that the last years of his regime from 1905 to 1910 were crucial and the antagonisms behind the revolution were beyond the government's control, as demonstrated by the great regional variation of revolutionary violence and war when conflict did break out.)

The speaker from the heart is different. He may have the skills of the master of reasoning. They are, however, only tools he uses as a true rhetorical virtuoso. He has abilities not found in the reasoning speaker. He combines clear diction with simple argumentation, and instinct tells him what to say and how to say it. Language is united with ideas. He knows the secret corners and aspects of the mass soul and knows how to reach and touch them. His speeches are masterpieces of declamation. He outlines people and conditions; he inscribes his theses on the tablet of the age; with deep and noble passion he explains the pillars of his world view. His voice reaches out from the depths of his blood into the depths of the souls of his listeners. He brings to expression the secrets of the human soul. He rouses the tired and lazy, fires up the indifferent and the doubting, turns cowards into men and weaklings into heroes.

These rhetorical geniuses are the drummers of fate. They begin their work alone in dark and dismal historical epochs and suddenly and unexpectedly find themselves in the spotlight of new developments. They are the speakers that make history.

As any great man, a gifted speaker has his individual style. He can only speak as he is. His words are written into his body. He speaks his own language, whether in posters or letters, essays, addresses or speeches.

This was probably the result of the times. There were no great ideas, no powerful projects. Rhetoric sank into a morass of self-satisfaction. The only apparent exception, Marxism, was secretly allied with them and its speakers represented a materialism that could never release the spark of true genius.

But revolutions bring forth true speakers, and true speakers make revolutions! One should not overestimate the role of written or printed words in revolutions, but the secret magic of the spoken word reaches directly the emotions and the hearts of people. It reaches the eye and the ear, and the electrifying force of the masses seized by the human voice sweeps with it the wavering and the doubting.

What would happen to a statesmanly genius who fate had for some reason placed in an inferior position if he lacked the power of speech and the explosive force of the word! It gives him the ability to make ideas from ideals and realities from ideas. With its help, he gathers people to his flag who are ready to fight with him; driven by it, men risk their health and their lives to bring a new world to victory. An organization comes from the propaganda of the word, a movement from the organization, and that movement conquers the state. The important thing is not whether an idea is right; the decisive thing is whether one can present it effectively to the masses so that they become its adherents. Theories remain theories when living men to not give them expression. Living people in difficult times follow only an appeal that reaches their hearts because it comes from the heart.

It is difficult to place the Führer within these categories. His ability to reach the masses is unique and remarkable, fitting no organizational scheme or dogma. It would be ridiculous to think he attended some sort of speaker school; he is a rhetorical genius who developed his own abilities with no help from anyone else. One cannot imagine that the Führer ever spoke differently than he does today, or that he will ever speak differently. He speaks his heart, and therefore reaches the hearts of those who hear him. He has the amazing gift of sensing what is in the air. He has the ability to express things so clearly, logically and directly that listeners are convinced that that is what they have always thought themselves. That is the true secret of the effectiveness of Adolf Hitler’s speeches. The Führer is neither a speaker from reason nor from the heart. He uses both, depending on the needs of the moment. The essential characteristics of his speeches to the people are: clear organization, irrefutable logical reasoning, simplicity and clarity of expression, razor-sharp dialectic, a developed and sure instinct for the masses and their feelings, an electrifying emotional appeal that is used sparingly, and the ability to reach out to the souls of the people in a way that never goes unanswered.

Long ago when he was still far from power, the Führer spoke to a meeting filled primarily with his political opponents. From the beginning, he was rejected. For two hours he struggled with the stubbornness of his audience, addressing all their problems and objections until at the end there was only thundering agreement, jubilation and enthusiasm. As he concluded, someone yelled from the highest row: “Hitler is Columbus!”

Bulgars are Turkic

They migrated to the Balkans around 600 AD and threw out the inferior Thracians.
