Does anyone here actually have an advanced degree in a history/humanities subject (masters or PhD) and work in your field? If so any advice on jobs or school?
>>1626766
Of course there is, they're bound to show up anytime on this thread.
Yeah. I have a masters. I track down leftover WWII ammunition so the bomb squad can come in and remove/detonate it. Obviously this won't be much of a job if you're in the US.
>>1626950
Neat, how'd you get that job? Do you have a masters in archaeology? Also whereabouts in Europe and do you have any cool pictures from the field? Ever find anything big like a tank?
Can we have another historical sex fantasy thread? Last one was gold
>>1625791
Lurking for some /u/.
Too bad that's pretty rare.
>>1625791
>you will never be Joseph and cum in Mary's ass and watch it slowly trickle out into her vagina as she sleeps
>>1625791
>that face
Gets me everytime.
/his/ I'm so bummed out I can't have a political discussion with you guys because of the >>>/pol/ rules, because you guys are so much more thoughtful and less uniform than the goofballs over in /pol/.
Can we have a political discussion disguised as a meta discussion?
How has studying history and humanities affected your political views? Was there one thing in particular that influenced you the most?
>>1625598
Studying history has made me care less about politics and look at things from a more neutral point of view.

What's this sculpture called?
>>1625621

Lets get a native american armor and fashion thread going.

>tfw this could have been a reality
>>1650188
If the Roman Empire had stayed intact, yes, we would've been far more advanced than we are now.
In my opinion, of course.
What are you talking about? That's a painting of a fictional civilization by Thomas Cole.
What do you mean it "could have been a reality"? I don't see how. It's a fictional place.
>>1650202
Quite the opposite actually
We would have stagnated
Why did God create homosexuals if he hates them? What purpose does that serve? And does he actually expect people that he hates to worship him? Why should we?
>>1650073
So he can send those disgusting queers to hell
>>1650073
>purpose
God loves gays anon

it seems STEM is dominated by
-White Males, East Asians, Indians, Ashkenazi Jews
Humanities is a mix of Blacks, Asians, Latinos/Latinas, White Women etc.
>>1649284
Higher average iq.
there's lot's of white men in philosophy no?
stem fields tend to pay more though and are stimulating.
>>1649284
More of us than them.
What would you say are some of history's most impressive rebellions?
>>1645507
The American revolution/ War for Independance
>>1645515
What made it so much greater than any other revolution in history?
The Taiping Rebellion.
A man fails his Imperial exams, declares himself Jesus' younger brother, wages a bloody war in which millions of Chinese die. Millions of men fight under his banner to make him the Christ-Emperor of China.
And then everything goes to shit for him and his forces desert him because no only actually believed his garbage and were only interested in fucking over the Qing and he ends up killing himself, getting exhumed, and burnt (a big middle finger in China).
All basing this on history, ofc.
Pic related, I'll pick Britain.
>>1650069
Yup, Britain
>>1650069
Ireland. It literally dindu nuffin yet suffered horrifically for it. Even still, it is gracious and forgiving. Plus they didn't.. y'know.. colonize half the planet
>>1650069
Denmark
How much of an advantage is being on horseback? Was it more for intimidation?
You have this big, potentially armoured animal you can trample and knock people over with. You can use its speed to add power to your blows. You can choose when and where you want to engage much more readily than infantry, who are slow to react. This makes you useful as a screening, flanking or skirmishing force, depending on how you're equipped and employed on the field.
>>1646416
but they can just stab your horse and then what? you fall and get stabbed niqqa
>>1646428
>b-but the horse can get stabbed!
However!..
What if it has ARMOR?
What would Jesus think of what European Christians did to Native Americans?
>>1645082
Nothing, people who have never existed don't think much.
>>1645093
Christ says "Love your neighbor and do good to those that hate you", the Natives were more spiritual than those who disobey "Thou shall not kill"
it is backwards, the Christians killing in the name of Christ were killing the Natives the same way Christ is hung on a cross. The assumed religious rulers are actually Satanic, dressed as light.
Was the guy who refused Hitler admission to art college just as responsible for all the deaths?
But I mean this from a philosophy point of view not history
>>1643678
Yes, that cunt should've let Hitler become an artist. He didn't have to become the leader of Germany and wage war on Yurop.
>>1643678
Yes, which is ironic because he was a kike
>Proximate cause - An act from which an injury results as a natural, direct, uninterrupted consequence and without which the injury would not have occurred.
>Proximate cause is the primary cause of an injury. It is not necessarily the closest cause in time or space nor the first event that sets in motion a sequence of events leading to an injury. Proximate cause produces particular, foreseeable consequences without the intervention of any independent or unforeseeable cause.
How can someone who considers themselves an ethical person justify eating meat?
>>1649133
if an animal can kill another animal why can't we?
do you hate dogs too?
>>1649133
Just read what bearded youtube man has to say about it:
http://www.lloydianaspects.co.uk/opinion/veggie.html
>>1649133
If got didn't want us to meat eat, we wouldn't be able to digest it
Was Rhodesia really as good as it's made out to be or is it all propaganda from rorkes and white supremacists?
>>1644478
>Won militarily.
>Defeated politically.
If it was so good, it would still exist.
>>1644478
>Won militarily
They lost you know, they were demoralized and didn't have the means to continue to fight
>>1644478
They sucked militarily too, my grandfather was from some African country deployed by the Gov as SpecOps to help out the rebels, and they literally were retarded, like they're parents drank lead or something.
He was also a neutral journalist in Nam, and he said they fought like an even more retarded version of the ARVN.
Pants on head stupidity like killing all of your allies cows, and leaving your helicopters (using helicopters at all) unguarded in hostile regions.
What are some famous military battles or wars that were won by a force that was greatly outnumbered?
Pic not especially related, I couldn't think of anything in particular.
>>1642386
The entirety of Gjergj Skanderbeg's life, after he declared indipendence for his people from the ottomans.
How about outgunned victories?
>>1642386
The Battle of Long Tan.
Recently was the 50th anniversary of it. Have a read it's some pretty hairy stuff those blokes went through.
