Do the Afrikaners have any legitimate historical claim to South Africa? Does long-term habitation make them 'native'? At which point does it?

Could the homesteading principle apply seeing as they've been the area for a long time. I've also heard that most of the Africans living in the country aren't even native to the area; no idea if it's true, but it seems to be a hottly contested claim.

Do "Americans" have a claim to the USA?

Honestly at this point it doesn't make a difference and any Afrikaner with half a brain should leave if they don't want to get eaten alive in the coming years.
>>
Deciding when you're a "native" is an arbitrary distinction. The Bantu peoples that Afrikaaners displaced had themselves migrated from further north and displaced the Khoisan. The "we were here first" contest is almost always just a fight between hypocrites arguing that they stole the land before the next group did.

All that said, if you're a local and you don't approve of people "invading your land" you don't have to just roll over because otherwise you're a hypocrite. If you do that, expect your society to be subjugated eventually.

How do you argue with people who do not believe in virtues?

People who are driven simply by common desires like sex, money, and circumstances; people who do not have a foundation in ethics/morals. How do you tell them truth/justice/love/loyalty/etc are higher callings than whatever circumstantial situation they are in?

Isn't saying "idealist" just an excuse for being a slave to circumstantial situation, and not being able to rise above the primal desires?

Anybody got historically correct illustrations of armours and soldiers from the ancient times up until the medieval period ? Would be nice if you had some information to to with it as well

What's /his/ opinion of Machiavelli and Machiavellianism?

From what I understand Machiavellis "Prince" is one of the core books in political science?
15 posts and 2 images submitted.

Having a firm grasp on how people actually behave is more important for a ruler then an idealized conception of how they should behave.

Machiavelli is based.
>>
>>1680681
Exactly!
I just started taking interest in Machiavelli, but i can already tell how his cynism shows how "redpilled" (excuse me for the term) he is. He's somewhat a true liberal I could even state, with no idealisim about the masses and mostly personal gain, which benefits all.
>>
>>1680693
The most important things to understand when ruling are, generally speaking

1. People practice reciprocity, not altruism, as a rule. AND

2. Different peoples are different and respond to different government types.

Did the end of the Cold War mark the beginning of the long 21st century?

For comparison:
>The long nineteenth century, as defined by Eric Hobsbawm, a British Marxist historian and author, was the period between the years 1789 and 1914.
>The short 20th century, originally proposed by Iván Berend (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) but defined by Eric Hobsbawm,[1] a British Marxist historian and author, refers to the period between the years 1914 and 1991.

You probably should have edited out "Marxist", wilfully ignorant shitposters with zero knowledge of historiography will be triggered by this.

Might be a bit early to call too, but probably yes.

Was Gorbachev responsible for the end of the Cold War?

Why/why not?
40 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
Yes. He saw the rampant corruption had ruined the Soviet state and tried to fix it, and when that didn't work he settled for modernizing it and making it more compatible with the capitalist West. This is all while Ronald Reagan picked his nose and stared dumbly at a wall waiting for someone bring him his next speech to bumble through.

Gorbachev was a bro - its a shame we dont have a modern equivalent.

Its pretty much him that stopped us all from reaching 4000 degrees centigrade.

Here's a simple answer to your thread, OP, one that we've seen countless times before.

Did he or did he not have the biggest socialist in the Nazi Party and all his supporters killed as soon as they started making a fuss? Yes?

Then no he was not a socialist.
>>
No. What little "socialist" policies he enacted were little different from the welfare capitalism policies present in modern day Western Europe.

In Spain the answer to your question is divided among political lines. Leftists will tell you it was a multicultural paradise, while the right will tell you the Reconquista was a very long liberation war, and the expulsions and Inquisitions that followed after was a national security necessity.

I'm right wing, so I'll tell you it's a meme Spanish "academics" started to push in the post-Franco years. Repressed leftists pushed back hard against monarchs like Isabel and Ferdinand in the post-Franco years because the Generalissimo used the figures of the Reconquista heavily in Spanish propaganda. He even petitioned to have Queen Isabel canonized, and now that Franco is dead the canonization efforts are spinning in place because the Catholic church doesn't want to offend.

I recognize this trope has been pushed by other western "intellectuals" for God knows how long though

The Myth of Andalusian Paradise by Professor Dario Fernandez is one of the few English language works that addresses this

muslim iberia was a long ass periods, the thing youve said is true and happens during Umayyad Emirate and Caliphate of Cordoba periods. however the rest is a shitshow with taifas inviting sandniggs from africa who will then proceed to carve out their own empires like the almoravids and the maridnids
